I have the 6L6 Shiva, and just picked up a Fender Custom Shop Classic Tele S-1, and the two simply sound amazing together. My first gig with it Friday had gear heads shaking their heads at the tone. One guy even took pictures..LOL

[DarkJinx257]

Man that is a thick tone for Fender Noiseless pickups!

[aubreywithoutYou]

that thing has serious balls. me likey... any chance you could do a clean demo with that tele as well? it would be quite swell, i'm sure.

[SgtThump]

@aubreywithoutYou I would, but I haven't owned the Shiva in quite some time.

[Bflatest]

@SgtThump what amp you have now?

[TheRaidersBlog]

3 guitars worth a few grand a piece. Bogner=a couple grand. And then theres a can of natty staring you down right in the face ahahahaha

[kristofferpence]

Bogner make kick ass amps man

[loc73gman]

what kind of tubes are you running. i use jj's

[manofmanyhairs2]

Awesome tone, is that an American Deluxe Tele? what year? I'm looking to make my own tele pretty soon.

[SgtThump]

@manofmanyhairs2 Thanks! Nope, it's just a standard American Series Tele, but with upgraded Fender Noiseless pickups.

[destinjohnny]

how about the natty light!

[SgtThump]

That is a VERY important part of my sound.

[dparel]

Is that the closed or open back cab?

[SgtThump]

My Bogner cab is their oversized closed-back model.

[Macmax7077]

hey Thump:

Have u played the one with reverb?

if so, which one do you like more (i know this one doesn't have reverb, but...) yet i would like to know your opinion and why.

[SgtThump]

Nah, I sure haven't. Sometimes reverb in an amp's circuit can tame the highs a bit (example - Single Recto Solo vs. Rectoverb), but I'm not sure how it sounds in the Shiva.

[chameleon101663]

What's the Natty Light mod?

[B2Rockin]

Dude all I have to say is you have great taste :)

[mirkoso1986]

This is definitely the TONE. Amazing! And nice playing too! How much you paid for the Shiva, if i can ask?

[SgtThump]

Thanks! They can be had on the used market nowadays for anywhere from $1,200 - 1,600. Prices have dropped.

[orlyorlywtf]

wwowow in italy them costs like 3800 euro USED

[faceitband]

Which noiseless are they vintage noiseless or samarium cobalt noiseless? Thanks.

[SgtThump]

I believe they are the older "Noiseless" pickups.

[nakedlungfish]

Nice tone! Funny, My PRS looks exactly like yours.

[japetus]

I see you got the Natty Light mod on the Bogner. Dave wouldn't be having none of that beer on amp business!

[SgtThump]

Ha ha! I was wondering if anyone would comment on that!

[chameleon101663]

What is the Natty Light mod? Link? Thanks!

[SgtThump]

He's joking about how I'm drinking cheap Natural Light beer in alot of my videos. :)

[dyingforastrat]

@chameleon101663 To funny man, that has to be the best thing i've read in awhile.

[BrokenMix]

your tele is shiny ahha, nice playing!

[probos1]

Nice job Chris, sounds great. I see what you mean about that Tele -- I want that tone outta my Tele -- stock American series?

[SgtThump]

Hey, thanks! Yes, it's regular American Series Tele, but with the Noiseless pickups added by the previuos owner.

I've tried to like Teles for a while, but they're always too twangy. I tried this one out used in GC once and couldn't believe it.  Went to dinner and couldn't stop thinking about it, so I went back and got it. :)

It's just super thick. It doesn't sound like a Les Paul, but it IS just as thick sounding. Kinda dark, but great for rock stuff.

[probos1]

The newer American Deluxe Series has the Noiseless and S-1 switching system. Seriously love the tones you get from you Shiva. Might think about picking one up. BTW, this is Cibyl (Bill) from Rig-Talk and HCAF.
