jimbartlett Posted June 4, 2007 Author Share Posted June 4, 2007 I must admit, i thought i was walking into a scene from a Mafia film! "Say hello to my little friend...BOOM!" LOL! It was an outdoor festival gig. The main area was covered over with plastic sheeting and the drummer had a small wooden stage built. I've got to say, it was probably the best "stage" I've played on. The lighting, sound and effects were fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerfeetLeonard Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 hi there, do you use all the switches on the RD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbartlett Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 (edited) I have fiddled about with the switches but to be honest, I mostly leave them in the center position all the time. I find they can make the pickups a bit too hot for my liking. I will have another play with them when I re-string it with Flats, I might find a better sound. I think it sounds wicked as it is though! Do you have one?

Do you have one?[/quote] yes i'm the proud owner of a blond one. the switches do cause loads of different sounds. use the top switch flicked forward but flick it back if i need it to sustain for ever. Mostly just use the RD for a really loud and deep type of sound. weighs a ton but i like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
