NEW GUITAR: EBMusic Man "Ball Family Reserve" Petrucci Sig

One thing to bear in mind is that the piezo system on the basses isn't a separate "stereo" system like on the guitars. They have a mono output and the piezo signal is blended with the magnetic signal.

It's there to add depth, attack and definition to the overall sound, not necessarily to make the bass sound like an upright acoustic.

Yup. Well aware.

* Scott points to the new bass day thread he made w/ the ruby red Carvin w/piezos.

darren: I also laughed at there being so many replies because I refreshed that thread a few times the other day and there were no replies at all the whole day

Well, I just want to start this out by thanking Jason for everything. Truely a great guy, and a real pleasure to deal with! The guitar arrived in perfect condition, set up quite well, with perfect intonation and all that good stuff!

Gonna do a little review or something like it:

Feel:
The neck, oh my god...the neck...is perfect. A really amazing compromise between a Jackson speed neck, ESP Extra Thin U, and the Ibanez Prestige Wizard...i love it! So fast, so easy to play...everything just feels like butter. On the other hand, bloody rosewood...it has a rosewood fretboard, and i am not much of a fan of the feel of rosewood on the tips of my fingers during a bend. The fretwork is excellent! They used a really small fret wire, not very high, and quite narrow...but the result is a really easy playing fretboard. Upper fret access is sick...bolt on is not a problem here...

Sound:
The guitar has this natural unplugged sound, just this amazing natural reverb with a really full tonal sound and really quite loud. The mahog neck and mahog tone block really helps! Pickups...well, i like em! Aint had that much time on them, but the drop sonic has a really agressive tight sound. Lots of attack, and so far my fav passive pickup! The neck pickup has a really nice clean tone, really warm and smooth. The peizo is just amazing, one of the coolest things i have ever had the fortune of bieng able to play. It really sounds like an acoustic! Really!! Has that acoustic sound...its really funny! Unlike any of the other peizos i have tried, this actually sounds real!

Looks:
Do i really need to say? It looks amazing...i love the red/black burst...always wanted one like that! The top, is spectacular...i am really happy with it.

cant really thnk of what else goes into a review... :p

oh yea..

PICS!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....videos to come!

eeeh?
