I seriously considered buying one of them, since I want a Parker Deluxe (I already have a Fly Mojo, and the two have very different tones) but decided against it. They're badass to the max, though.

A week ago I picked a G&L L-2000 bass from eBay. It arrived yesterday: (click for big, dipshit)     The pictures really don't do justice to how wonderful the finish actually looks- I loving love this bass  It's a custom shop job, with the swamp ash body and a Jazz-style neck, in addition to the absolutely insane tonal variety. I seriously have never been more happy with an instrument than I am with this one.

Hey guys, I might be buying an electronic drum set soon. Anyone know of any good electronic drum sets that do metal well? I'm not afraid to dig deep into the wallet, as long as it isn't ungodly exorbitant (like over 2k-3k).

If I'm not mistaken you can also load your own samples and use them as triggers.

DrChu posted:Looks great, I'm seriously considering getting rid of my Stingray HH for one of these. I know there's a huge variety of settings for the pickups, can you get a decent P-bass or J-bass tone from it? Any other notable sounds? G&L's are the great impersonators of the musical world. Can it sound exactly like a Jazz bass? No; but it can get damned close to the tone. Basically any major brand can be imitated with some success on a G&L: Rickenbacher, Stingrays, Precisions and Jazz. Should you want these sounds to be perfect; you'd better start collecting the real basses you're faking; otherwise a G&L can do it all for you for a fraction of the price. Before this starts to sound too much like an advertisement, I'll just say this: When someone goes out and buys a Stingray, for instance, it is because they want that distinctive Stingray growl. Don't want to limit yourself to only a Stingray tone? Too loving bad, go buy another bass. G&L's let you do it all, whenever you want, so you aren't limited to only the "distinctive" tone. Which isn't to say my L-2000 has an unremarkable tone, far from it, it's just that when I bought this bass I wanted to know that I'd be covered if I ever needed to sound like someone else for awhile. And I am. In short, uh, G&L's are sexy in everything they do. Ghostpilots fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Jun 11, 2007 |

I built this to hold my gear. Missing is my Crybaby that is out for repairs. Also I bought this  a few months back, and it is friken awesome. Love it. BTW has anyone used any of the other -4 Line6 gear? I'm thinking of getting the filter box and was wondering if anyone had opinions.

Kramer Vanguard FR440S. Unfortunately the newer re-issues, and not an original 80's. I haven't bought it yet, solely because I want to try to find one to handle and play first. I love the looks of it, and the low price is attractive, along with the fact that there's plenty of people online who say that it plays like a much more expensive guitar. I talked to a friend of mine who played one once, and he said the only electric he actually liked better was the original 80's manufacture Kramer he used to have. Right now I'm stuck in limbo between the "Buy it and sell it back off if you don't like it," and "Hold off, wait for someone to have one, test it, and THEN buy it," options. I figure at very worst I'm out a couple hundred, three at most if I buy the hard case too. Then I figure that I'm not going to see anywhere close to the purchase price if I resell it, and I'll just have a "cheap" beater guitar for travel and trips and whatnot to show for my money, and not much more. Needless to say, I've been wavering between these options for pretty much ever. Anyone actually have any experience with one of these? At this point I'd gladly take goon word-of-mouth over finding an actual model to play.

 Guitar Rig 2 software edition. I'm kinda wishing I had the foot-controller, but god drat is this poo poo expensive as it is... =\ It really is an awesome program though. It's great not to have to fire up my fullstack when I wanna play around with some effects that I don't currently own. Also makes recording a snap. I was able to dial in my tone pretty much identical to my rig. edit: this isn't a screen cap from my machine, just a shot from their website. I'll get a shot of my setup when I get home from work.

Since I didn't get a new cable for my camera until now, you get about two months' worth of purchases. First, my Fender Blues Deluxe amp. To the left is my Squier Bullet Strat and to the right is my Proco Rat II, Boss OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion, Danelectro Daddy-O, Danelectro Chorus, Danelectro PB&J Delay, and Danelectro Fab Tone distortion.  Annnnnd, my Multivox MX-20 electric piano. It has a cover that clips on top for transport. Also a Korg metronome.

Mugendai posted:That looks cool. How good are those at replicating actual instrument sounds? I figure you can do all sorts of awesome synthy stuff with them, but if they can do a fairly good replication of actual saxophone sounds with the right software, that could be really usefull for me. It's just a conttroller, it doesn't make any sounds at all. You'd just need a good MIDI device that had good brass sounds but, um, I've never really heard one. Even the high end stuff isn't as expressive and human as a real brass instrument. 3toes posted:Guitar Rig 2 software edition.

I just purchased the Ibanez RGTHRG2 if what i heard is correct, there are only about 200 or so of these that were made, it is a limited collectors guitar, but it is still great. it is way better than my stupid little squier. the tremolo gives almost no resistance, and the paint job is just amazing, H.R. Giger designed it, kind of like a sci-fi meets psychedelic

DrChu posted:This is the reason I got the Stingray HH, because I thought the second pickup could give me a nice variety of options, which it does except that it can't really pull off a Precision. In hindsight I should have spent a little more time with the HS version, that will do a Precision a at the expense of one of the Jazz-like tones. The options I'm looking into are either finding someone to trade straight-up for a HS, rewire the pickup selector on the HH, or sell the thing and buy a Jazz Bass (which gets enough of a Precision tone for me) and a regular Stingray later, or something like the L2000. Honestly if you're looking for something that can do it all, get a Lakland 44/55-02. With the new Lakland pickups you can get a really good P, really good J, and really good 'Ray. I haven't heard anything else that can do those three as well. The HS Ray can do a good P and a good Ray but the H pickup isn't back far enough to get a convincing Jazz bridge pickup burp going. And as far as the L2000 goes, it's versatile all right but it can't do a Jazz bass tone for poo poo stock*. It can do a decent P, a decent 'Ray, and a myriad of other tones but with no coil tap you're never going to get a J tone out of it. Also IMHO the preamp does not sound good at all. *I say stock because it's always possible to rewire the parallel / series switch to be parallel / single or even parallel / single / series if you or your tech have the skill.

Only 4 pieces of wood on the whole guitar. The inlays are abalone shell and mother of pearl. Fender custom shop pickups: 70's in the neck and middle, 50's in the bridge on a push / pull switch.  This one's an older picture, it has graphite string trees now:  And that's enough of that little hijack.

Veen posted:Kramer Vanguard FR440S Your post reminded me of the new Kramer brand. Ive been wanting to buy a v or explorer shaped guitar wtih 24 frets and a nice trem. So right after reading your post I looked up and found a site with some nice Kramers. I also read on Ed Roman's site that the new Kramer brand is owned by Gibson and they are just slapping the Kramer name on cheap import guitars. Most of the reviews of the newer Kramers have been very positive though, if you do decide to get one I suggest that you try and buy one locally or dont buy from Musicyo.com.
