I don't even mind ugly gear, I'd play through those, but why not make it so both cabinets have the same number of each speaker?

It kinda makes sense, in a wall of marshals way. One has more highs and mids, while the other has more low end. With some switching, you could end up with a large variety of tone options while still having an absurd amount of speakers to haul around? Seriously, 16 speakers is way to many to actually haul around.

That's from a performance of Chick Corea's India Town, which is a lovely boring adult contemporary tune. You can find the whole video on Youtube.

I have a moral objection to bootleg instruments.

This is my newest obsession, actually. I've always wanted a T-Type electric without actually buying a Fender, but I found this new Ibanez Talman TM302MTFB and I put a horrendously expensive set of Joe Barden Electronics Danny Gatton T-Type pickups in it. I absolutely love it. I bought a Fulltone OCD with the FPS-3 18V power supply to power the pedal and a wonderful tc electronic Corona Chorus to go with.
All my outboard gear is old and dead, so I guess I'm building up a pedal collection.

Yay for tax refunds! Also I'm back at my old job and feeling pretty good about life in general.

I could definitely understand how and why Telecaster purists (and others) would consider this instrument truly (ugly) stupid music poo poo. I think if you were a Tele person and you played it, you'd at least admit it plays great and sounds amazing.



P.S. - It's a shame WDE is stuck with the GBS guitar. I wanted that story to have a happy ending, and I hope it still will!

If they're good enough for Gatton, they're good enough for me!

(also, the bridge pickup was noisy with any gain, these 'buckers solve that)

A little more about the pickups: You know how P90s have that reputation about being so clear and precise that they point out every flaw in your playing? I would say that having played both, these pickups have that same scary beautiful characteristic.

really what i'm saying is, you're right it's definitely not a tele purists' guitar. glad you dig it tho it's cool lookin. it's way better for you than P90s too, those are only for 90s alt-pop

I have one SG and one split-coil PBass and another 5 single-coil electrics, just is what it is

I did go for the sorta vintage-but-Gatton-approved set. I didn't get the "Modern" set. I bought the T-Set (Neck and Bridge) found here.
I want to post some audio clips to Musician's Lounge next weekend once I have the pickup heights and other parameters set ideally. They really do respond amazingly to the guitar's volume/tone controls. I didn't even install either of the two caps JBE included in the box.
I work second-shift so I can't play the 50W combos after work. I'd be evicted. Also, I want to get a couple licks from "The Sun Medley" and "Harlem Nocturne" under my hands. Then I'll play some de-tuned low-heavy metal stuff and see how that goes.

That OCD pedal turned my Peaveys' lifeless clean channels into something that even the Barden pickups couldn't.

I would have stuck with the original electronics in the Ibanez but I thought it was too modern and fat and had too much gain. I wanted something closer to a vintage tone and every time I think of Gatton I wish I could play and sound like him when appropriate. Unfortunately, neither will happen, but drat those pickups deliver and the OCD is a joy. So is the Corona Chorus.

I see major gear acquisition syndrome in the year 2016. Frankly, I'm afraid of the expense of all the gear I desire.

P.S. - Sorry for the GBS serious-posting. I'll go away for another 720 posts like I did last time.

nothing wrong with that Ibanez, it's a great looking quasi-tele.


normally I wouldn't like the aesthetic of rail-style pickups in a traditional Tele but they actually add to the look of the Ibanez. and Gatton was rad
