Hi All,
Probably a stupid question... but I don't know if my ear for tone has been changing as I get older or if as I get older I can afford better gear.
A few months ago I got a Mesa Mini Rec and switching back to my trusty old Vox Night Train to test a new pedalboard build, I hated how it sounded until I played with the EQ - a knock on effect of the Mesa perhaps?
I also restrung my core Custom 22 and SC245 in the last 24 hours and am surprised that the Custom 22 with the VB/HFS doesn't sound as good as I remembered - but the SC245 with the 57/08 (which I never really bonded with) I now love the sound of.
Anyone else experience something similar?
PS. Should I put 59/09 in the Custom 22 or just trade it for a McCarty one day when I can afford it?
