Re: Smooth tone. .

Do you have any examples of some *guitar tones* you like that you can point us to? When I hear "smooth" I think of Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, maybe even Andy Timmons at times.
 
Re: Smooth tone. .

how does Yngwie get that tone. . .I like the tone of Ford and Carlton, very smooth. They play Dumble amps, I believe. . .and I like that tone, but smoother still. I don't want to play bass but the sound of Pastorius's bass on Joni Mitchell's Heijira is perfect.

He has a deep, full velvety tone with nice sustain. .

Re: Smooth tone. .

Dial back your gain some and run a compressor up front, also try turning down the treble and upping the presense to compensate. A lot of times recording artists are using a good bit less gain than you would think.

My friend has one of these and I've got one on the way. Pretty cheap if you buy from China ...I paid $75, shipped, but I've seen them elsewhere since for as low as $60.

They're advertised as ideal for smooth tones like Eric Johnson/Gilmour....and after playing his for a while (and loving it) I'd say that's just about right.
