Hiya people
First post here so go easy with me
I was primarily a bassist until about 5 years ago, since then I've been busting my stuff on a (surprisingly good) Les Paul copy which I stuck SD's in. custom alnico 5 in bridge and a JB (!!!!lol) in the neck.
I play into a 50 watt 5153 with the 2x12" and am pretty happy with my tone I guess ( I play a lot of classic rock, blues, punk and metal).. thing is I have INSANE G.A.S for a 'real' Les Paul.. it goes against my usual 'if it aint broke dont fix it' way of thinking but you all know what G.A.S is like..
Thing is I honestly didn't realise what a massive can of worms I've opened.
SOOOOOO many different models to choose from!!
I can just about afford a standard if I sell off a few things , but wouldnt rule out traditionals or a classic.
All i do know is I'd prefer a 60's neck (maybe I could get used to a 50's style hmmmm), alnico pups, a heavy ass body..
Seems a lot of the 60's neck models have hotter pups??
I'd opt for slightly more vintage sounding than uber modern.
Like I say ; BIG can of worms!!! Any thoughts/comments would be most welcome!
Thanks to all for a great forum by the way.
Peace.
