After hearing some of the banter in Scott's thread about "best" clean tone, I thought it might be interesting to post examples of what you consider your BEST clean tone. If you're in, please post a clip, gear used, and what you like about the tone.
Clip:
http://thenormster.com/MP3/I%20Want%20to%20Fall%20In%20Love%20Again.mp3
Gear:
Ibanez Artcore AS83, neck pickup ('57 Classic)
Arion Tubulator (adds just a touch of "hair")
Blues Deluxe
Why I like it:
I like this tone because it's clean, yet has some texture. It also blends well with the piano, which is my favorite instrument to accompany.
BTW, I think this thread can go a long way towards helping us understand each other's definition of "clean" if we refrain from commenting on anyone's clip but our own. Just post your clip and why YOU think it's good.
