@dparel Thanks - I am just using the bridge pickup, but rolled back the tone to around 6 to fatten it up a little. On top of that, it's going through the Egnater amp, which is adding a little to the thickness.
@WayneDavisRocks Thanks - I didn't know where I heard this, but thought it was more like Paul Gilbert when I was playing some of those sextuplet runs.
@EJwannabe The entro and main lick reminded me of a satch tune but originally used, yea you got some chops, I hope your in a band and not sitting in your living room for the world not to see
@lomax333 Thanks, but you should definitely go - my playing got much better over the last 2 years because of participating in King of the Blues and seeing other folks there with different styles (even getting beat by Josh Gooch in 2009). It's not about where you are in your playing today, but listening, having fun, learning, and improving, imho :)
@EJwannabe Funause its funny you said that because i actually went and it went well ima upload pretty soon if you wanna see. lol i had to go into another performance because of a tie. But unfortunately i did not make it to the next round.... But hey a least there is next year!!!!!!

Great fat tone! What pickup are you using on the PRS? I have a DGT but don't use it alot. Is your a coil tap? Are you using the humbuckers if so?
