Lawl posted:The big difference I found between the Casino and Sheraton (besides the obvious ones) is that the Casino's neck heel is a lot further up the neck then the Sheraton (about the 9th fret for the Casino vs. 12 for the Sheraton) this means that the Casino neck becomes a lot thicker a lot sooner and makes it difficult to fret bar chords. This is the biggest difference i have noticed as well. The Casino does have the feel of a true hollow body which is good if you are playing a lot of standard position open chords and messing around on the low end, but it gets challenging once you get up towards the bridge. Nice fat tone though, really nice for jazz rhythm. Why not try your hand at a Fender Thinline? My old roomate plays lead and sometimes rhythm in his Jazz/Funk/'The Band' type group and its right in the pocket, even through my lovely amp he borrows. Sounds like a hollowbody with the right EQ, and plays like a Strat with sunglasses on.  OH YEAH and i got one of these for christmas  Im excited to learn how to play :

The 600 watt figure is the power consumption. Here's the manual in case you haven't found it yet - http://www.peavey.com/assets/literature/manuals/80300142.pdf

- but that makes a lot more sense.

I've been going a little pedal crazy lately for my guitar and bass setups. - Tech 21 VT Bass - MXR Zakk Wylde Overdrive - Boss DS2 (Keeley modded) - Boss CS3 (Humphrey modded) There are a few others, but I cannot recall them at the moment. Must not be that memorable. On the lookout for a tremelo (EHX with copper plate would be cool) and chorus or bass chorus.

That thinline tele is sexy as hell. Is that his or just a random GIS find? Also, Peavey amps kick rear end. I have two a few feet away from me and another in the trunk of my car. My Bravo 112 with a Celestion Vintage 30 is my main amp and it's just loving awesome. It's got a big ol' spring reverb tank the width of the amp at the bottom that is honestly the best sounding reverb I've ever used. I want another to put in my Vibrolux, whose reverb sounds weak and pathetic in comparison.

My Esquire needs a new neck. Turns out I hate maple boards so I'm selling the one it had to buy something with rosewood. I'm thinking something like:  or  Any suggestions? Edit: Anybody want to buy my old neck? 1986 MIJ Tele neck Maple/maple with Gotoh tuners, recent fret dress and custom cut bone nut. Make an offer or something.

I got this beauty for my birthday after some long long convincing that I must have it. You should have seen the glow in my eyes the first time I saw it. Click here for the full 1200x1600 image. Its the Randy Rhoads RR3 Rhoads with an Alder body (with flame maple veneer on trans finishes), bolt-on maple neck, compound radius rosewood fingerboard, Seymour Duncan® humbucking pickups, Jackson low-profile double-locking tremolo and black hardware. I love the guitar so drat much. It's been a long time since I wanted to play guitar, and this one makes me want to play every day.

Handen posted:That might very well be the sexiest neck I've ever seen and I want one. I agree it wouldn't go with the body, and IMO it would lose much of its sexiness if it were "relicked" to go better with the body. So I vote 1st one.

To add, I just bought the greatest guitar ever made. I got wood now. When I play it, small children bow down and ladies panties fall off. Well. In my mind at least. I played this last night straight into my amp, no pedals except a tuner for most of the night. Holy crap it sounds/plays awesome. $600. drat. Awesome.

I also vote for the all-rosewood neck for the tele. I think it would look fine since the body is pretty dark from all the burning.

My comments about Peavey amps earlier inspired me to do a quick eBay search and, lo and behold, I found a Peavey reverb tank out of an '81 Renown! Got it for $12.50. That's going straight into my Fender.

I'm going with an Evolution (in white, so it will look normal) and replacing every bit of electronics in it, probably the tuners as well, straploks, then taking it on stage for at least one song every set. It is hilarously and disastrously ugly, and yes, we are a hard-rock, alt-metal band.

I drank all the rum, I was at a house party, there was a fire pit, I had just had a really bad breakup the day before, and the police were after me. It was therapeutic and now my bullet riddled Esquirecaster is even more awesome. If I get the all rosewood neck it might be infinitely awesome, but I have to wait till my next paycheck or until I sell the original neck.

Replacing all the electronics is basically a given if you're touching anything in there, given how little there is. All that's left of the original wiring is the ground wire from the bridge, and I only changed 3 parts. The stock wiring was surprisingly tidy, with the small amount of slack wire coiled up and zip tied. Only word of warning, the volume pot is a mini with a narrow (Gibson?) shaft. You might need to drill out the hole to fit a full-sized pot. Tuners don't seem too bad so far. If they turn out to slip badly I've got a set from an MIM Strat I could use, hopefully without having to do any drilling to the back of the peghead.

magnificent7 posted:I think you just described my "killer tone" circa 1988, except I had a crate. Bass amp. Imagine that distortion pedal pumping through a crate bass amp. Oh, it was crystal clear sound of a turdy poo poo stain pedal. Thank god I was playing a hot-pink Fender Heavy Metal Strat... otherwise I would have been ridiculed. A-ha. This guy's previous amps were... Gorilla amps. The year? 1989. Imagine if you will the gorgeous combination of the Gorilla amp and the Arion distortion pedal. The real offense of the Reknown was its ability to create sound pressure levels that were lethal to domestic pets and disabling to the hardiest human adolescent youths. And I take poo poo... to this very day... 18 years later... for the hot pink knobs and pickups on my JEM. We should form a support group.

I returned that M-Audio ProjectMix I/O because it simply wasn't communicating with my computer, so I said "gently caress it, order me a Tascam FW-1082." They said "Okay, it'll be here next week." I was expecting it to be "New-In-Box" but apparently not so. The box had apparently been opened, this must've been a floor model because it's got catalogue stickers on it, all of the proprietary manuals and included sofware were in a "Mother's Music" bag inside the box, and then when I take it out of the styrofoam a big black thing falls off.  gently caress AM I MAD. Edit: I called up to the store I purchased it from and the assistant manager has been extraordinarily helpful each and every time something goes wrong so I shouldn't be mad at the company, really. He's ordered a new one and I don't have to take the 400km round trip back up there until they get it, up until that point I can use this one (assuming it's functional) and make the return when the new one arrives.

Word on the street is the stock pups have a bit of a feedback issue though and I'm considering buying a Vintage Noiseless pair - maybe swapping the bridge out. Shame they only sell the reissues now...

I traded my JEM 555... For this baby! '08 Fender USA Strat Deluxe. I have never had a nice Strat before and it's fun to play with. Nice neck (similar to my vintage Jaguar actually) It also has a nice push pot that lets me fiddle with the sound a bit more as well. Not my dream color, but the black/gold actually looks really nice in person. I'm not sure if I want to keep this or sell/trade it for something I ACTUALLY really want more, but it will be really fun to screw around on in the meantime.
