Re: FS- 2001 Blues 90-Transparent Black
Mojo - you are an inexhaustible source of GAS entertainment! Can't wait to see pix of the M75, should it come to pass.
I have to say though, as we talk about a guitar's natural sound and its pickups' sound, that the question of your amp's sound should also be part of the equation. I bought myself a cheap little Vox Valvetronix 15 so I could get a better sense of how each of my guitars interacts with different amp models. Some really bring out the bluesbird and/ or starfire's tone, and some don't, and my Strat is its own beast entirely. One thing the experimental process has taught me is that the amp and settings you are using can really define the sound, be it shrill or muddy, of the guitar (as you hear it). I plan to use what I glean from these experiments as a starting point for trying out and buying my next tube amp.
I guess what I'm thinking is you should keep the P90 and buy the M75, and buy a few new amps, and then quit your job so you have time to mess with them all day, every day. I'm guessing you'll find plenty of great tones! Keep us posted!
