It's been a loooooooooooooong time since I got new gear, but we just got the proceeds from a legal settlement and I decided to indulge myself just a little bit. Excuse the general mess, we're in the middle of moving. Not shown: other guitars, etc. The amps aren't new, but the guitar, bass and pedals are. The pic doesn't really do justice to the finish on the bass, sadly.

Daughter posted:Looks nice. Does it sound like $40? It sounds like a million bucks, but it tunes like $40.  Part of that could be the new strings, but I'm sure the tuners have their say in the matter. It's a good thing I'm not fond of bending strings while playing.

Someone here has a Kirn, right? I've been considering a build from him to sate my ever growing desire of a Jazzmaster.

I have a love/hate relationship with my Zildjians. I love the brightness but hate the lack of the coveted Bonhamian earthy attack. 2002's would have that but I keep buying these anyway. Being a somewhat heavy handed drummer is ridiculously expensive. Nobody's fault but mine. Drummers are stupid and I'm stupid.  My phone's camera is laughably bad, so here's a stock photo.

Quality wise, I'd say my basic, bottom of the like Kirn tele is on par with the couple Fender CS teles I've played. Ron is also great to work with, he'll spend as much (or as little) time as you need discussing things.

Got this on Tuesday, to dive headfirst into digital music production. I only played around a little in Auditon so far, but since a friend introduced me to the Ableton Live demo right before Christmas, I knew what my Christmas present for myself would be this year

scuz posted:My guitarist is having me build him a pedalboard! Where are you getting your carpet, or how is yours gonna work? No carpet. Gonna mark for strips of velcro, then tape those placements up, then paint the whole thing with some rustoleum textured paint. Gonna be a tiered board. Basically trying to replicate this:   But he used bikechain links to attach it all.

Can someone please explain the term "bikechain" to me? I'm not familiar with its use in the context of a pedal board at all. Is it some sort of special patch cable between the pedals? Thanks *edit* I think I see it now, pop rivets through links to physically hold the pedals to the board?

Yup, you pop the link apart and use the piece circled below:  You remove the screws from the baseplate of the pedal, then screw it back with the link-piece attached, then attach the open hole to the pedalboard via screw as well.

What's the advantage of using the bike chain method versus velcro? I've never had a problem with good velcro failing to hold things in place, and swapping pedals around or replacing things is a lot easier when I don't need a screwdriver. Am I missing something?

Alright, base plate and tier are cut. Gonna do the supports for the tier probably Sunday. Looks like a lot of wasted space I know, but I'm building it with expanding in mind. Particularly a Wiggler and expression pedal.

The plug for it sticks out of the left side like 1/2 of an inch right in the middle. It is sort of irritating, and on my board I have to leave it unplugged so I can close my case. I suppose its my own doing, but its the easiest way to make it all fit on my board. Just mentioning that so you can plan for the correct widths/etc.

I'm not quite sure what the layout will be when the wiggler and expression come into play...

 I was only able to afford this today because iostream.h bought my Microsynth and Shape Shifter. I would have bought it with my paycheck on the 29th, but now I can buy a Zvex Wah Probe instead!  EDIT: Does anybody have any suggestions for a second mic for this cab? I already have a Shure SM57, and I was thinking a Shure Beta 52A would be complimentary, but I know gently caress-all about mics so feel free to school me.

I recently sold my electric violin (illness prevents me from playing the violin any more), and have just this minute ordered one of these: Its an Eigenharp Pico I had to order it before the price rise in February, and currently don't have a suitable laptop to run it on - but I'm quickly trying to sell some other musical items to raise funds for one. Its an amazing instrument, and will allow me to once again play stringed instruments with almost as much dynamic control as the real thing ... as well as virtually any instrument under the sun.I haven't been this excited for a long time!

With my Christmas money I bought these three toys: Fender Blues Jr, recommended by the people in the New to Guitar thread, and bought from a fellow goon; brand new EHX Big Muff Pi with Tone Wicker; and a used EHX Deluxe Electric Mistress. My first pedals and first tube amp woohoo! Epi Lepi fucked around with this message at 16:02 on Jul 25, 2014 |

Schecter Omen Ex 4 Bass [img]https://wi.somethingawful.com/bf/bf5253f914662df99a345b69793006e184d0d4c8.jpg[[/img] Click here for the full 700x226 image. Info here at Guitar Center I was looking at a Squire VM jazz, and before that an Epiphone Thunderbird. Those were around 300, and this, as used, is 350. I might bite the bullet and get a brand new one for 4. I might have to do that anyway if someone nabs the used one before my cash comes in. Someone please speak up if I'm about to make a mistake.

While we're (temporarily) on the subject of Schecter stuff, does anybody have any experience with this thing? I've been looking for a sub-$400, 2-humbucker, 24-fret fixed bridge, no nonsense guitar that isn't pointy as gently caress or black or otherwise metal oriented, and this seems to be the only thing I don't really have a problem with. Unfortunately, knowing my luck that means it plays like poo poo or something.

I'm looking at getting an Omen 6 FR but yours will more than likely pull out the winner. I'm still new to git-fiddles and don't want to waste the instrument. At the same time, though, I don't want to limit myself. A friend of mine owns a Schecter guitar, I'll email her and find out how she likes 'em. I should have thought about that before making a post on the subject, but I'll reply with what info I get. EDIT: vv Oh. Oh dear.

I'm normally not a fan of Schecter because they have a reputation for having baseball bat C-shaped necks and they have a tendency to loving drench their guitars in Abalone, which I hate. I had actually forgotten about the neck thing...I think I'll go for this bitch instead. All of this depends on my tax return anyway.
