Stupid music poo poo I would like to see on the market: A thing I did years ago when at Uni was borrow a friend's volume pedal; hook it up directly next to my wah and duct taped a piece of wood over the rocker pedals to make one big pedal that controlled both at the same time. Volume + Wah combined is stupid fun and if I could be bothered/understood the electrical pixies enough to do it, I'd build an all in one that covers this. Of course if any of you know of something off the shelf which already does this, please let me know. Spanish Manlove posted:For clean stuff: not worth it. For high gain: good pickups are mandatory. I disagree, although it depends on what you're going for. I'm very picky about my clean tones and can hear a distinct difference between the pickups in my guitars when playing clean, although they are quite varied so that would have a hand to play in that situation. I absolutely agree with you on the pricing though. Things get typically snake oily once you hit a certain pricing threshold. Chalupa Joe posted:The DiMarzio That doesn't leave me with a good impression of the Tone Zone and Air Norton as I found the V7 and V8 to be incredibly thin and shrill sounding. There were numerous people on a bunch of forums posting about improving the V7 and V8 by swapping the magnets but I skipped that at went for a straight upgrade. I like my Evolutions (I, not tried the II) and my VBT came with D-Sonics which were supposed to be passive pickups that could rival EMG's... they don't, but they aren't bad. Dr. Faustus posted:EVH did it + Other reasons Bingo.  But to the poster who suggested Corgan, I'm edging very close to the same hair style if that's a help?

Wark Say posted:Please be aware that, though Muppets on PCP was being truthful, a used Mutron C-200 can set you back for like 700 dollars. If I'm not Mistaken, some of the GIG-FX pedals can do both and just set you back for like 200 bucks. No kidding. The first one I found was on Reverb for £545 and at first I thought optimistic seller but nooooooope, that seems to be the average going price. Maybe I will dig out the soldering iron and get to work on something.

Jr. posted:Imagine all of your middle-school margin doodles coming to life in vivid plywood and double-digit pickup combinations. Now imagine no more. Let me take you on an odyssey of the strangest collection of musical instruments I've seen in my life. Pretty sure that's based off EVH's star guitar. Which Charvel released a signature model of a few years ago.

Normally I find the pre-relic job thing utterly stupid but this is a thing of beauty. The spec is also right up my street. I just can't justify dropping that kind of money on an instrument.

WhiteDogEggs kindly sent me a blank brass nut to file into shape for my FRM100. I hosed it up horribly and he gave me some pointers to fix it. A year and a bit later and my guitar is still sitting without a nut because I horrendously hosed it up

Doomy posted:Here’s a photo of my pedal “board” since I’m not one to throw stones while living in a glass house: I need to sort this buggery out.  That photo is from about... four or five years ago? The only change since then is occasionally using a wah pedal and sometimes trying to squeeze an eq pedal in. I'd be better off ditching the the whole board and getting something that wasn't designed for the purpose of only loading it with BOSS stuff.

Tap water and a clean micro-fibre cloth are all you need for cleaning your guitars. Strings (And managing to get the preferred brand and gauge right) are always a great gift, same for 9v batteries because I never remember to stock up on them. A set of allen keys for players with floating bridge equipped guitars is also good, and a pocket screwdriver kit. Oh I just remembered something except for its name. I remember seeing a while ago a set of fret polishing pads. They're not at all to be confused with a kit for doing an entire fret dress but they can remove grime and polish up the fret wire nicely. Looked like a bunch of emery pads with different grades of coarseness which you work through and come together in a wee pouch.

At least with the short lived mad era of ~$25,000 signature replicas Fender did a decade ago there was something unique about them.* *Other than the price tag

Malaria posted:So I'm pretty sure my next guitar is going to be a fancy Ibanez that has a Edge-Zero ii bridge. I have generally avoided locking tremolo's for 20-something years now, because I had a Jackson Dinky with a Floyd when I was like 13, and it was a nightmare to deal with at the time. For anything Ibanez Rich Harris is your guy.

On another note, those are some nice guitar straps. s.i.r.e. posted:Fellow brethren of the stupid music poo poo thread, does anyone have any recommendations for a clear display case for a guitar that can be mounted on the wall? I got a new gig at an apartment manager and my Agile (signed by Immortal Have you tried local picture framers? They often get requests to make display cases with frames for unique wall decor.

Dr. Faustus posted:What would you say to a friend who has been collecting the LTD versions of the ESP (Kirk Hammet?) horror movie poster guitars and cases? I mean, they seem to be decent instruments and I am certainly not in a position to throw stones when it comes to "liking what I like." As long as your friend isn't putting himself in financial trouble playing guitar pokemans then more power to him. If I could afford it, I'd be collecting PGMs and get an extra to add the weird fringe thingy to.

darkwasthenight posted:Standard tour abuse aside, Bruce is notoriously hard on his guitar electronics because he sweats like a monster and regularly dunks his head in a barrel of water at sidestage. The original Broadcaster has it's pickups sealed and drainage holes drilled along the bottom of the control cavity to let the sweat run out. I wonder if Angus Young has had anything similar done to his guitars. He's more sweat than man when on stage.

Spanish Manlove posted:Angus young also travels with like 30 Marshalls but only uses two at a time for just the same reason. According to his tech they blow an amp just about every show. Luckily those old things are just a handful of point to point components, but still that's gotta be annoying. Awesome. Thanks for this.

Honestly if those weren't in an Ibanez catalogue and I hadn't seen them on the Jemsite Facebook page, I'd have thought they were knock-offs being sold on ali express. e: They didn't even change the colour of the Ibanez logo on the SDG model so now it blends in with the headstock finish!

Stupid music idea: The department store in town is going out of business and selling off everything, including the fixtures. All the mannequins are currently marked for sale. I talked about this with a friend last night and we came up with the idea to maybe buy one and shove some motors in the the right arm so I can turn it into a stupid guitar stand that does this when I hang a guitar off it.
