I already bragged about this - but I'll do it again. Ibanez ACB83S or somesuch. I swapped out the pickups for some GFS classic 57s or something and it's the shizzle - part Les Paul, part ES-135. I'm loving it.

Marshall JTM45! hell YEAH! I finally decided to shut up and put up and get my balls enlarged. poo poo yeah. It'll arrive in a week, give or take. Once the cab gets here, I'm taking it into the local guitar stores to try out cabs. I know jackshit about Marshalls (well, KNEW until I started looking into this thing).

Aeon posted:The other guitarist in my band plays a Bluesbreaker, which is essentially that in combo format. You'll love it, but don't expect it to break up unless you are playing EXTREMELY loud. It has a lot of headroom, so keep your tubescreamers and distortion pedals. Ah gently caress. I knew that. Maybe I can pull out half the tubes and see what happens. Just pull em out at random. I hear that works.

Hell yeah I got a cab to go with my Marshall JTM-45. I can't wait to get these things in the same room. I will hurt people. The best part - IT'S RED! Who cares what speakers or the manufacturer. IT IS RED! Unfortunately, this signals the end of my GAS for 2007 I believe. The amp head, the cab, the hollowbody from earlier this year, the new DAW. I'd say I've spent my full on music poo poo for awhile. If only I could have reeled in a wireless as well, I think it would all be perfect. Oh well. Put that on the list for next year. magnificent7 fucked around with this message at 19:44 on Jun 26, 2007 |

qball posted:Bridging to different inputs will give you different results, I'm not sure I haven't played with one that much. One channel is dirtier than the other, and each channel has a "bright" and "normal" inputs - the bright is quieter so you crank it more to get more grump in the tone. So then, you blend a clean normal and grumpy dirty channel and bammo, you've got something like Jimmy Page's tone - notice how it's clean and dirty at the same time? But again - you gotta get them up there a bit to get "there" with the tone. or sure, a hot plate or attenuator or put the cab in the trunk of a car a mile away. But what's the point then.

Dr. Faustus posted:I had a friend in High School who used this amp. He always used a distortion pedal for his 'tone' and pointed this beast at anyone but himself. 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 was on the hunt for a Gibson SG for less than $800. I eventually found this Reverend Daredevil - awesome guitar for $600. And THEN I found a 1991 SG in Stryper Yellow. I mean TV Yellow.  Click here for the full 1600x1200 image. Wasted old pickups  Click here for the full 1600x1200 image. So now I've got both. I like the Gibson better. I hate to say it. I'd totally convinced myself that the Gibson name didn't mean crap. I like them both a lot. I'll give it a week or two before figuring out which one to sell.

In my quest to spend way more than I'll ever earn at music, I've bought a Peavey Classic 50 212. The guy had BOTH models (410 and 212). I've had three 410s and sold each one, so I figure I'll try the 212 and see how that one flies. Click here for the full 800x600 image. I used it at a gig on Saturday. drat drat I love me these amps. I might go back and buy the other one just because.

I went to Sam Ash for the Danelectro Vibe, and they had their Fuzz marked down to NINTEEN loving DOLLARS. I'm at work now, with both pedals stuffed down my pants. That's as close to having sex with these as I'm going to get until I get home. edit: cheap rear end pedals, but medal case! And true bypass! These are boutique as gently caress.

Now we've got Tiger Woods banging hot chicks and pron stars hating the internet. Now. Back to the topic at hand. I played with these two little devils last night and gently caress yes I'll be abandoning the Line6 PodXTLive from now on, except for recording demos. The $20 fuzz reacts to volume changes, via knobs or playing technique, quite nicely and the vibe sounds like a drat vibe. Just oooooooh oh oh.

With tax refunds, wicked company bonus and a deposit for a festival gig in October, I've been on a spending spree like a whore on the crack corner. Actual photos wouldn't do justice to my buying power because (1) my music room looks like the front yard on Sanford and Son, and (2) the poo poo I've been buying is all unimpressive upgrades to poo poo I already own. Sort of. KRK Rokit 8s. Musiciansfriend had a great deal on some scratch & dents - got the pair for $410 or something.  Auralex Gay Faggity Wall Foam Stuff, again, scratch and dent MF.com bargain ($80?) for 10 squares or something.  Shure studio monitoring headphones. Not so sure I like these - too bottom heavy (or my mixes have all been too bottom heavy for years)  Guitar Fetish Neovin strat pickups, finally swapping out the 25 yr old EMGs  Guitar Fetish P90s for my Ibanez semi hollowbody. I installed THESE correctly and they gave me a semi sure enough.  And then a gently caress ton of this to keep me up during those long nights in the studio:  edit: and I now need to buy one of these to keep the place clean, keep the kids in line, do my laundry, and solve all my marital problems:  or

I just found my holy grain on ebay and scatched that poo poo UP: A 99 Peavey Classic 50 head! Yes! Sure sure, I already own this in a 2x12 combo but that's different. That's not a HEAD. This is the head. These things are becoming idiot-stupid in prices lately (one on Craigslist here in Atlanta for $650. What the hell), and I got this one for $375. I'm thinking about getting a 410 cabinet to go with it. There's a beat-to-hell Marshal 1960A on CL for $275. But that's 4x12, not 10. Sigh. I need more money. And need to sell more poo poo now. Curse you consumerist greed!! edit: no, I didn't remove the shameful Peavey logo. That appears to be the trend with these things. That way we keep the secret secret, know what I'm saying? In fact, forget you read any of this. Keep looking for that 67 Bassman head for $700. What about a Bogner cabinet? Are these any good? http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/msg/1930401975.html magnificent7 fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Sep 27, 2010 |

It's been a good first quarter of 2011. I scored a crappy acoustic gig last Sunday and decided it might be time to upgrade from the Alvarez. I got it used at Gtr Ctr for $625 plus case. Love the thing. Sounds good plays good and manages feedback really good. Well. Gooder than the Alvarez. And then figured, poo poo, I'll need one of them Line6 DL4s with the looping and poo poo. Sure, why not. I hate music stores.

In 1983 I saw Purple Rain. Prince had a microphone that I'd never seen before and I thought to myself, yes, one day, I will own that microphone. Because, seriously, microphones can't be THAT loving expensive right? $500? Are you making GBS threads me? Luckily, I snagged this fucker off of ebay for $300. But seriously - who the hell spends that much on mics? An idiot? I'll let you know after my next gig.

13 years ago, I had the greatest goddamn guitar in the world. A Gibson ES-135. Sadly, an amp died, I had to sell it to buy a new amp for an upcoming gig. Five years later, I traded a friend the amp for a Les Paul Studio. And then some years later, I traded that Les Paul Studio for a Telecaster. Two years ago, I traded a guy the Telecaster + cash for a Les Paul Traditional. Today, I traded a guy, my Les Paul Trad for an exact copy of the original guitar, the ES-135. To offset the $ diff, he also threw in a Les Paul Studio, that is an exact copy of the Studio I had. That's some goddamn crazy guitar karma guitarma poo poo going on. LOOK AT THIS GODDAMN HOTNESS. That finish is worn off from the sweat of an old black bluesman named Chicago Joe.
