Went into GC today to pick up a keyboard stand and walked out with one of these for $75 (no cable or drivers, but that's easily fixed):

Only $75? I remember paying roughly $300 for mine! Good piece of kit, imo.

Harmony H165 - $130 shipped from ebay. I don't know what year this one is from, but they only made the kind I have between 1969 and 1972. All the little paper things on the floor were used as padding by the shipper and fell out of the box (which is visible in the corner of the first pic) First mod was to take off the very loosely glued pickguard  Second mod was to add this pickholder. I'm pretty sure the adhesive I used won't gently caress up the finish (it's designed for hanging posters on walls), but who cares if it does?  This things already been on an 11 state and 1 province road trip, and a real Nashville guitarslinger chillin outside an IHOP told me it was a great guitar and that it was smart to take off the silly pickguard.

 Gibson's Guitar of the Week, week 14. Got this back in August.  MacBook Pro for recording, picked up just before Christmas.  Nice Shure mic I got for Christmas from my sister.  And finally a Sonor Force 1007 drum kit that I also got just before Christmas.

 While not new (we were asked by a friend of the family to store this back in 2003, because he bought a new electric kit and just wanted it out of the house) I recently moved it out of the basement and up into my study/room where the rest of my music crap is. I actually learned how to play drums on this thing 5 years ago, so it's been well played. Unfortunately though, the right cymbal trigger has stopped working, and the left cymbal is on it's last legs. I think I might build my own triggers using that thread someone made a while back as a guide... Oh, and the reason why I moved the kit upstairs? The same guy was cleaning out his garage, and asked us if we wanted a free Hammond Organ  . Hopefully the next pictures I post will be it.

I was supposed to buy this Boss RC-20XL ...but then I found out about the Digitech JamMan, which is basically the same but much better with a negligible price difference, so here we are:  I did consider the RC-50 for a second but gave up when I realised it has only one out jack.

Many of them have a jack in the back you can use to plug your guitar (or whatever) into, so that you can run an external signal through the Hammond's spring reverb and Leslie. It's worth having one around for that alone.

I just bought a pair of SH-2n and SH-4 Seymour Duncans to put in my Epiphone Les Paul. Can't take a picture right now, and whoever wired this thing forgot to ground the bridge tone knob, so it's like a big mains hum antenna Edit: looking a bit closer, It seems like he only grounded the bridge and one of the pots. Yay lovely techs. krisis fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Jan 20, 2008 |

Oh come on I just dropped into that guitar store to kill some time what the hell (Generic Google Image Search Result)  It's a Peavey T-15, complete with hardshell case with built-in amplifier! It's a tiny little guitar, 3/4 scale with a very thin 20 fret neck. The body's finished very thin so you can still feel the wood grain and everything, but despite that, it only has a few really shallow surface dings. The pickups are like humbucker-sized rail P90s. Actual pictures coming soon. The body for my tele arrived on Friday too.

HumanSpeedBump posted:...but then I found out about the Digitech JamMan, which is basically the same but much better with a negligible price difference... vv The big selling points for me were that the Digitech can store 99 separate patches (to the RC20's 11), longer record time (24 minutes standard, 6.5 hours with a 2GB CF card - compared to the RC20's 5 minutes) and the ability to send to a computer via USB. I spent some time with a friend's RC20 and wasn't too impressed with the idiot factor (how easy it is to figure out with no instructions). When I got my JamMan I was able to get going pretty quickly.

It's either because I get off on thoughts of endless overdub loops in stereo and tiny metal switches, or because I don't play the guitar but instead what you see in the picture. I don't remember which. edit: besides there's only like 35 switches

I bought an American Telecaster for $450 earlier this month. Ideally I would've wanted it to have still had the original bridge pickup, but no dice. :-\ The thing is as old as I am but it doesn't really have the wear to prove it. It looks like someone tried to carve a K into the pickguard. :-/ Also, the serial number is the same rightside up as it is upside down :-|

After missing the delivery guy twice (the first time when I was home all day somehow..) My amp finally arrived! It's the big Marshall under the small Marshall, and in front of the not so small Orange. I'm impressed with it so far for the price I paid. It's bigger than I was expecting it to be, but that's hardly an issue.

Nobody knows where it goes, though. v:)v

Handen posted:Did you make those custom pedals yourself, or is there a corner of the internet where people build and sell odd customized pedals with a billion switches? I ask because I'm into DIY stuff but hardly have time to do it myself. Those pedals are the work of a good friend who's been kind enough to build me some other stuff as well. The bent pedals are: [that little black box in the lower left corner] This used to be a Boss Metal Zone MT-2. The switches (on all the custom pedals) activate and deactivate bends on the circuit boards, and their combinations touch, fondle, ream and rape the sound. This thing now sounds quite a lot like the Metasonix Scrotum Smash and Butt Probe pedals. One of the switches actually bumps the volume up to about double the normal if the pedal is the last one in a chain. If not, it just roughs up the sound some. [the metallic box above it] A pedal is like a box of chocolates, especially when it is built into a box of chocolates. The barcode around the second power led is a dead giveaway. The box houses two pedals: a DOD Death Metal and a DOD filter (I forget the name). The four input jacks in the upper right corner allow me to use either one or both, just as if they were separate units. The bends on the switches still effect the sound of both, even though the distortion is always more heavily touched. [the black box with knobs attached to a pedal] A Boss DS-1 with an external switch-/knob box. This thing is best for a sort of a "straining" sound where the toggles are turned so that the outcoming signal cuts between moments of silence and heavily saturated distortion. Also I found out that when the DL 4 is connected to this box's input, the box works as an analog synth that's good for radio noise or low low bass. If you take a look at how the pedals are connected, you'll notice some small things like the DL-4 connecting both to the reverb and the line selector. The cables going outside the board are supposed to be connected to a mixer. Essentially, what I do is choose the route the feedback loop takes through the board and the mixer, and what the pedals do is make it timid, squeaky, rhythmic, loud, annoying, or plain weird. Imagine using Märklin model trains as an instrument setting up hammers and buzzsaws to beat the trains as they speed around the looping tracks.

Forget the Glass Nexus (for now), I'm getting this: The guitarist in my dad's band is a great guy, and he uses this little amp. Through a 1x12, it'll get pretty loud for jamming, but through a 4x12 it'll go over the drums. Not to mention it mics excellently and has all the flexibility you could ask for. He's letting me borrow it to see what I think, and I'm going to be buying one for myself soon because I think so highly of it. It is an amazingly versatile amp which can achieve, on its own, tones and textures from jazzy cleans to dirty blues to saturated rock n' roll, even into hard rock with the right tubes... but one of my main considerations, of course, is how well it works with my ever-growing pedalboard. I have never heard an amp which takes pedals as well as this one. It's almost magical. Lets the Damage Control preamps shine through beautifully, responding to its voicing and adding two additional channels to the amp. I set it up for a singing, harmonically-rich clean sound (at the hardest strum, just at the edge of breakup - you know the sound, that lovely thing that started rock n' roll), and then kick in the gain with the Liquid Blues and Solid Metal. It also voices the G9.2tt better than any other amp I've used. So it's my next purchase, for sure. I don't know whether to thank the guy who is letting me use his Univalve or curse him, because it's inspired me to spend more money... I don't know if I'll be selling my Randall - it's definitely louder, and sounds quite good. If I can get away with keeping it I will, but if I need the money it'll be one of the first things liquidated.
