That looks great! The Bigsby just makes it that much cooler.

[Ahess86]

OH man. I should not have seen this. GAS!

[FFOGG]

congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) :)

[dannopelli]

UH OH! I think there is a problem. I think there is a bit of dust on the bridge that only can be removed with the utmost care!

Quick! Box it back up and send it to me. It might take a few months, but I am sure I can get it fixed.

Seriously...

That is a KILLER guitar! CONGRATS. It is just a stunning combination. Nicely done!

[markus]

Very cool!!! :cool: CONGRATS!
I really dig how the Sage Green Metallic looks with the HC pickups and the Bibgsby! Very classy! GOTW material in my book!!! ;)

[dannopelli]

Man! I keep coming to this page. I can not get enough of this guitar! You are ONE LUCKY DUDE!

[mslugano]

Very, very cool...in a futuristic retro kinda way.

[marsodude]

Thanks guys. It does look way cool!

I wonder how much different mine sounds compared to the one with the spruce neck!

[Pietro]

She's a beaut, Bob.

email me and tell me how your tone quest is going with her!

Do they have a wiring scheme similar to the Cobra?

Hum - Single - both hums - single - hum?

I forget what pickups are in there. They're hidden under those pickup covers, so I can't tell.

[mdrs]

Cool axe there, Marso.........that bigsby, combined with the "metallic" look of the paint job..........very sharp!

Yep, I need to get some details on the wiring. Can someone explain it to me.
I have M1C HC2

I was able to spend some time with it today tweaking settings in my TLLE. I was sort of disappointed when I first played it. I have been using the C+ for a couple of years and have all of the settings in the TLLE set for it. I was not prepared for the investment of time to tweak two years worth of settings.

So the Atom sounded off, not as clear. To tell you the truth I had listed it for sale on a couple of local Singapore guitar forums because I didn't think it was for me.

I pulled the adds today.

I am still playing it thru my home surround sound system. Kind of like a PA. So I use the amp & cab sims on the TLLE. It sounds awesome with the C+ and even better with the Atom.

Turns out that my favorite amps sims are the Twin Reverb and the AC 30 TB.

I am really digging positions 2 & 4 and Bigsby is addictive!

My fingers are numb! It sounds as good as it looks.

[Pietro]

Vox's AC30 models are the best in the unit, imho. I'm not surprised that you are digging that one. The Twin I've never been a fan of either in emulation or reality when I had one. But that's me...
