Just got this brand new Soldano SLO and have been running it through the paces the past few days. This SLO has a 2007 serial number and no mods.
My R8 has a Rio Grande BBQ pickup in the bridge. I’m also using reverb from a Rocktron Intellifex LTD and a Bogner 2×12″ cab with WGS ET-65 speakers.

I think it’s just …
I think it’s just okay. I think the clean channels on the Landry and Diezel Einstein are nicer (especially the Landry!)
Of course, it’s totally usable, so don’t get me wrong.

Went looking for Soldano clips and look who I found. Nice stuff StgThump- the playing and the tones. Think you’re gonna keep this one? Man you got to share these things at TGP.

Cool.. i think the …
Cool.. i think the Fralin PAF’s are the go then.. Have actually called them before with a few questions about putting their P92’s in a lefty guitar and their advice was stellar..
thanks for the advice mate..

I should also point …
I should also point out that I’ve compared my Fralin’s to my friends WB Firewaters and WCR Goodwoods and to be honest with you, I think I like the Fralins better. Plus, they’re less expensive than the other brands.

Thanks man! I’ve …
Thanks man! I’ve used the BBQ for a few years and I love it. It’s very thick and meaty! But I started to want something different a few months ago and decided to try a set of Fralins in the Les Paul (8k/9k set).
The Fralins are still thick, but not as dark or thick as the BBQ. It’s a good compromise. It’s not bright at all, but it’s just as thick I guess. The BBQ is so thick that some people don’t like them.

Awesome amp and you have good ears man.. great demo actually showing what the amp settings actually change…. but i’m more interested in your Grande BBQ pickup. Do you like it? any gripes? hunting for a full PU change out on my R7 goldtop.. any suggestions welcome.. (BK?.. Fralin..? WB.. etc and models.).. do love the tone you have.. have you tried many other PU’s?

true true there is …
true true there is a couple of amps that only the 100 watt version sounds good
January 3rd, 2010 at 11:49 am
I hear what you’re …
I hear what you’re sayin… Less wattage definitely means less beefy and I agree you don’t “need” 100 watts for any gig really. Not even touring with Van Halen.
But yeah, there’s something about that “thump” you get from higher wattage amps. Even at lower volume settings. Gotta love ‘em!
January 3rd, 2010 at 11:49 am
for me i always …
for me i always thought that less watage just sounds better to me its less beefy and u dont need all of that watage unless your touring with van halen in my opinion

What is it you like …
What is it you like more about the Hot Rod 50+?
I did have a Hot Rod 50 many years ago and never bonded with it. But I liked different tones at that time. I’d probably like it nowadays.
January 3rd, 2010 at 11:49 am
ehh hot rod 50+ is …
ehh hot rod 50+ is better in my opinion
