Members roygbiv Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 I don't know what to make of the bass contour feature. When I played a Rev in the shop, I thought it would be pretty useful to bring a humbucker back to single coilish-type tones. But, after playing one with P90s, I'm not so sure. It really was more of a reverse tone knob than a tap/split blend. Which is cool, but maybe not more my application... Anyhoo, HNGD. That's a sweet-lookin' guitar. And if it's like the other Revs I have played, it's got a super playable neck. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to figure out how this works since I would love to add it to a couple of my other guitars. There's a cap on the pot so maybe that's really all there is to it. Edit: Better yet, imagine having a single pot which can do both... like a balance control. In the middle position it would be neutral, turn left for cutting treble and right for bass.

Members Ryan Trevisol Posted September 21, 2008 Members Share Posted September 21, 2008 The attached pic is all i could think of when I read the thread title. That's a sweet LP-style guitar. Also, when I had a Bass-cut circuit on my LP, I ended up ditching it. Just not as useful as it sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I omitted one due to the 10 image per post limit In case you want to uninstall the Les Trem. Not that interesting I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Selbstmord Posted September 22, 2008 Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 Guitars like this prove the lie that a good looking LP type has to have fingerboard binding and block inlays I agree, I actually think guitars lacking binding and inlays (besides dots) look much better. The only exception for me are binding and block inlays on a red special SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArKay Posted September 22, 2008 Author Members Share Posted September 22, 2008 That's Pretty! kinda fascinated by the Les Trem.... HNGD! Thanks! It's a nice vibrato and I like the fact that it doesn't require any additional routing or holes on the guitar (unless you get the modified Reverend model of course).
