Normally I can't feel that there is a carbon strip in the neck with my fingers and the neck feels like one uniform piece of material. But at some times of the year (Aug-March) the carbon strip slightly bulges from the neck and I can feel the difference between the strip and the neck. It again r...

<r>Happy new year to all. Well, I did end up buying the 101B as well as a Soldano Decatone. Not only are the sounds great but the flexibility is amazing. The amount of detail and care that has gone into designing and crafting the amp is inspiring. The only thing is that I havent found a distortion/o...

Aug - sept will be hot and pretty humid. Rains between Sept-Dec. November onwards its cooler and pleasant (18-25 c). Starts heating up around late feb - March and then back to hot and humid (32-40C). Chennai is pretty humid overall. Though I doubt your vigier will be affected.

guitari9

<r>Depends which part of India you go to. You should be more concerned about the heat, though its only in mid summer when its between 35-45 degrees in the hottest parts. Winter can have temperatures drop to 0 in north India. Otherwise humidity is only an issue in the coastal areas such as Mumbai, Go...

All clean to low/mid gain amplifiers at around the same price. Looking at overall tone and versitality and ability to take pedals well. Opinions?

guitari9

<r>I have narrowed down the list finally! What I have gathered is that I seem to lean towards the sounds of Cornford and Soldano. Though different, they both have very musical and defined lead tones, so should have either in my *! My budget has been maxed to about 2600-2700GBP. Here goes: ...

<r>Those Bogner clips are amazing! Its great for Bogner to post sound clips like that on their websites...wish the rest of the manufacturers did the same. But 2500GBP+ for the Ecstacy! Too much for me! Hey, what about the Carvin Legacy version 2? From the reviews I gather that its really good...

guitari9

<r>Thanks for the offer, would love to come and try the Ecstasy, if I am in your area. It sounds like a great amp from what you describe...but ?2500+ price plus the cab...a bit over budget unless I get one used for 1500-1700 for which I can get a new Shiva. Have been reading up a bit on the Engl Bla...

guitari9

<r>Think you hit the nail on the head. I am looking for a more Hi-fi, 3d, brown, mid-highgain, darker/more driven Marshall sound with the ability to clean up amazingly as well as a very warm crunch channel...phew! I am now seriously looking at the Bogners as well. The Ecstasy is a bit o...

Hi thanks for all the info in the Amps forum. Noticed that you had the 2 vigiers for sale. How much are you expecting? I would love to pick one up but as you know I am planning to shell out a lot on amps at the moment! However, let me know incase I end up saving some of my budget! Cheers

guitari9

<r>Tried a couple of amps out yesterday: Engl Morse, Engl Screamer, Mesa Stiletto, Mesa Dual Rectifier. The Stiletto was a great amp, very 3dimensional and has some really beautiful tones. However on the high gain settings I had to cut both the Treble and Presence to 0 and yet could not get e...

guitari9

<r>Hi, its funny many people say that about the Stiletto even though its got 5star reviews from all the guitar magazines. I did speak to Soundsgreat yesterday about a Splawn but it was ?1800 or so for a Nitro. I feel the Roadhouse can do a (differently voiced) Marshally hot rod sound with a ...

guitari9

<r>Did you have the Stiletto Stage 1 or 2? Have heard that there is a big difference in voicing between the 2. Overall people say that the Stiletto is very tough to tweak but is great when you have the right settings down. However I guess if I have to buy 1 Mesa then it should rather be the Rect...

guitari9

<r>Well the reason I dont mind 2 amps is because in a band situation I play Prog Rock/metal whereas on my own I play blues and jazz fusion and therefore require the more toneful end of the amps. I thought about what you said earlier about me wanting a brown higain sound and probably the amp ...

guitari9

<r>The Bogner and Invader look really good in the videos and get really good reviews....but the price!!!! I am also exited about the Cornford Roadhouse 50w 212 combo! I didnt know that Cornford made a cheaper range....it sounds amazing too! Well, what I have decided is to compare for t...

guitari9

<r>Thanks for your detailed response. The Screamer I think is grossly overlooked by most people though it has the most beautiful tones below brutal hi-gain. I liked the Powerball for its gain and super cleans, but think it lacked the 3 dimensionality in the crunch-mid gain settings (maybe I needed s...

guitari9

<r>Thanks for the response and your views, greatly appreciated. The Screamer is probably the most beautiful amp I have played myself...if they made a 100 watt one, then thats what I would buy! Never tried the stiletto, what do you think of it? Another option is to buy one great head now and ...

guitari9

Hi all I am looking to buy my ultimate 100watt head. Its pretty hard to decide as its near impossible to find stores which have a good selection of amps here in London. What I want is a versatile head that can do great cleans to cruch to high gain. The options are: 1) Hughes & ...

guitari9

ok Thanks. So the necks are infact designed with a slight bow along its length...thought as much. Is that to help in a better action compared to a completely straight neck?

guitari9

I was referring to neck bow not radius, (ie distance between the 8th fret and the low E string when it is fretted on the 1st and 24th fret.)

guitari9

Just wondering if the Vigier necks are designed to be dead flat or with a slight relief? Both the Excaliburs I have owned have had a slight relief. If I press down on the low E on the 1st and 24th fret then I get a relief of about 0.20-0.25mm on the 8th fret. Is that normal considering it is 7 years...

guitari9

Ok will probably do that then! Cheers Ben!

guitari9

<r>Thanks for the reply. But I am really unsure about trusting courier companies with such an expensive and prized instrument, as this guitar is travelling across Europe on the back of a truck. In principle though, is it ok to remove the neck? I have done it earlier on cheaper and less comple...

guitari9

Is it Ok to remove the neck from the body for posting a Vigier which has only a softcase? Or is that not recommended? Or is it generally ok to post inside a guitar cardboard box with insurance? Cheers!
