Warren DeMartini RTM model year year of creation and what neck pickup?

[CarlosG]

Hi!
The sound of Ratt has changed over the years.
In the early years Warren used JB, Robbin used JB or AH-1.
At some point Warren and Seymour created RTM, anyone know what year that was?
I'm also not sure about the neck single coil.
Now he using RTM with Quarter Pound SSL-4. Does anyone know what year SSL-4 was introduced?
I'm not sure what he used in the 80s and 90s with JB. I've read rumors about the Hot Stack. From what I understand it was introduced quite early on because even Dan Hill used JB with Hot Stacks.
If it is true that he used a Hot Stack was it the neck or bridge version? The aforementioned Dan Hill from JB used bridge versions of the hot stack in the middle and neck positions.

I love the sound of the neck single from 2:50, it works great with the bridge JB (or RTM)
Best Regards

Wow! I don't normally listen to that style of music, but that's a good song.

LOL, I'm the other way around. I just can't get into that music. The tones are cool, though.

On topic, I'm pretty sure the QP's have been around for a while. Don't know if all the way in the 80's, but 90's for sure.

RTM is post 2000 I'm pretty sure, as far as the '80s honestly I don't think either guitarist had anything but bridge pickups in their guitars. If there is a single coil sound on any song from back then I'd assume they'd have just borrowed a Strat in the studio.

i'm not 100% but i thought the RTM was introduced around the time of Ratt's Infestation album, which was released in 2010.

I was at SD in 2011 and Seymour and Warren were signing a bunch of them...

Infestation is a great album! Carlos Cavazo was the perfect guy to pair up with Warren "post King". The best song on the album was actually one that Carlos wrote called Eat Me up Alive.

Quarter Pounder has been around since the very early '80s. I know it's in a 1986 catalog, but I'm pretty sure it's in a 1981-82 brochure, as well.

RTM was released in 2010.
