can you give me any samples you recorded with the jem and a basswood guitar?

 

[guitarguru777]

The Jem is a Guitar the Evolution is a type of pickup made by Dimarzio. Currently none of my guitars have Dimarzio pikcups. The only Basswood guitar I have at the moment has stock Ibanez Pickups.

i would like to say evolution. anyway if don't have a guitar with evolutions how do you know they're the best ones?

I have probably been playing guitar longer then you been alive ....lol

25 years.

In that time I have been through just about every pickup and guitar combination known to man. Especially when it comes to basswood guitars and dimarzio pickups. I have been an Ibanez player for almost 15 years and in that time have had every kind of Dimarzio pickup there is in my Ibanez guitars, unfortunately some time ago I sold of 90% of my shit to make room for my studio. I only have 1 guitar left and its a stock Ibanez that just sounds fantastic.

what do you think about basswood + tone zone?

 

[guitarguru777]

Its a good combo. Think Paul Gilbert, his guitars are Basswood with a Tone Zone

thank you for that video. it sounds pretty good.

do you know any albums/songs recorded with a tone zone?

John Petrucci recorded Images and Words with a basswood Ibanez w/ a Tone Zone and Humbucker From Hell. Pull Me Under is a good example.

The Tone Zone is a great match for basswood, but can be a bit loose and has rolled back treble. Sounds especially good boosted IMO. The D-Sonic is another good choice, it's tighter and a bit brighter with just a bit more output.

Here's my favorite clip of the D-Sonic/Air Norton combo (though its in a poplar guitar, but the basic sound is the same)
