I was planning on grabbing one of those pro-mods with the roasted maple neck but I've got enough super strats to keep me occupied for a while.

What about PAFs but Tele-style baseplates upsized for humbuckers. Anyone make that? That might be a dumb thought I had.

If you want big baseplates, check out Charlie Christian style pickups. You gotta route out as much as a trem cavity to mount one of those motherfuckers.

PAF baseplate is usually a nickel type deal. muike posted:If you want big baseplates, check out Charlie Christian style pickups.

 Ordered some 64Audio a2e IEMs. This'll be my first pair of custom molded IEMs, excited to see how different they are compared to my old Shure 215s. They also match my main bass perfectly   Scarf fucked around with this message at 16:52 on Apr 20, 2021 |

Custom molded meaning you had a form made from your ears, right? I'm imagining your AV playing this bass with these monitors, but with a color-coordinated sweatband.

I feel like your bass cabinet, cumberbund, pick, strap and shoes all have to match your bass .. and your playing in a prince cover band. It's not a color I would personally buy but it's beautiful, maybe on a gretsch or a drum set.

Went to an audiologist and they pump pink play-dough into your ears, then you send the molds to the company that makes the IEMs. Pablo Nergigante posted:Nice coordination, that's a lovely shade of purple Thanks, and agreed!

A bit humble compared to some other stuff, but hey whatever! Freshly-unpacked Squier CVC 60's Tele. There are many like it, but this one is mine. For the longest time I was on the fence between this one and the 50s one... thankfully stock situations have usually meant that each time I decided to buy one, they were out of stock. Until now, there's apparently plenty to go around at the moment. Huge improvement so far over the years-old Epiphone LP Special II that I started out with. Setup seems fine as far as I can tell out of the box, but I'm also an eternal guitar beginner, so  . As long as the intonation is good, I'm fine. Compared to the Special II it's been a dream to play so far, feels really smooth to me.A friend thought swapping out the pickguard (which I've already scratched good trying to get the goop from the stupid Fender Play sticker off) for a white pearloid one would really make it pop... any thoughts? And any recommendations on which one to pick up that'll match a CVC?

Every new guitar I buy I think "Oh man I can't believe I already scratched up this pickguard" and then discover it's covered in cling film. There are often two layers, and the second layer is much harder to peel off than the first.

Black was my first choice too. Might get cheap versions of both that and the pearl just to compare.

Kind of an oddball, Filtertron in the neck, brass sadles, amp knobs and a proper square input jack. Picked it up on Reverb from a shop in Spokane, but it was sold once in New Jersey (I think) before that.

Goddammit I like black/sunburst telecasters with a binding. Personally I like the white pick guard on sunburst, white pearl might be nice too. I don't really like black guards on sunburst personally. I just got my vintage modified tele thin line in December but now I also want a bone standard tele, either blonde or sunburst. Was watching prince and the video of his first live performance of purple rain they later used as the album/movie version and the was playing his honer telecaster and holy poo poo he makes that thing scream.

 baby’s first dobro. gotta love an auction.Played five different ones in the lot before the auction went live, hands down the best sounding one. Went for more than I wanted, but less than market value. Great condition, sounds fantastic.

Never saw the case when I tried it out, all the guitars were on stands in a big show room pre-auction. I'll snap a photo if there are any more, hoping to pick it up tomorrow. Also, because I'm a sucker for vintage graphic design, picked these up for  . At least a couple should make some good studio wall art.

Pauly Shore posted:So I bought a Duesy.. Hey! I've got a Duesenberg star player too! I got the Mike Campbell one (shelby paint job). Theyre so good. I have been trying to source an extra pick guard forever though and havent found any luck. Also my second guitar was an ESP LTD...it got stolen when I got black out drunk after a gig in my 20s. But man, what an underrated guitar. Theyre so buttery to play.

Absolutely not trolling, just curious - I'm very new to bass and I just play mine directly into my amp (Rumble 40), but I was under the impression that bass players bought preamp pedals to get the flavor of a different amp manufacturer's sound.

curried lamb of God posted:First of all, holy poo poo, congrats dude Thank you! Very kind of you to say. I actually didnt get the preamp pedal because they are out of stock... I am sure you can use them for amp faking / modeling...but I wanted it specifically because the brubaker bass comes pre routed for an active pre-amp to make it an active bass for like a 200 dollar up charge. But they didnt have any in stock ( I can buy it later and install myself). So the aguilar pedal was just like...oh yeah...now all my basses can be active if I want. I mean a pre is a pre is a pre.

I’ll just chime in and echo that Duesenbergs are awesome and I’d never even considered the idea of owning a hollow or semi-hollowbody guitar until I played one.
