Nice... I started off playing bass but then got replaced in a band by a wicked good bass player so I switched to Electric.

The guitar is a Standard with a 60's Neck which I can deal with. I am more of a 50's neck but I couldn't find one anywhere. I'll get one when I come back from Iraq.

I also have an American DLX Telecaster. It's sweet.

http://www.totperlamusica.com/file/totperlamusica/Z_ecommerce_Fender%20Tele%20Am%20DLX.jpg

My top 3 guitars go:
1. Tele
2. Les Paul
3. SG

I'll probably get an SG soon enough too.

[Froski]

nice guitars. I've got a Gibson Les Paul Studio with the natural finish and a black faded finish SG with 3 pickups.

[WBC]

best-sounding guitar I ever heard was a Les Paul Goldtop.... unbelievable.... still looks like something you'd hammer fuckin nails in with though....

on a side note the guy who used to play bass for my Da's band has an special edition American Bicentennial Gibson Thunderbird bass.... a thing of beauty....

we got our mitts on one second hand from a local music collective which was doin a clear out.... unfortunately the neck was split in about 4 places.... sorry I didnt keep the rest though.... those fuckin things weigh a tonne....

Fuckin' tell me about it! I've been trying to find a vintage Ric in pawn shops for about 6 or 7 years now. There's just no way I'll ever be able to afford one brand new. That's all I want is a goddamn Ric!

i almost snagged an earily 70s 4001 rick for $600 but it was over the internet and i wasnt comfortable with the conditions of sale.

good luck finding one even in a pawn shop for cheap.

Well I don't mean cheap. But just trying to avoid takin' out a damn loan to get one. And vintage Ric's (early 80's) sound and tone can't be beaten! Just gonna keep on searchin' for the "holy grail" that is my bass! ha!

oh dude i totaly agree.

when i think of the one bass i truely want its a rick 4001 stereo, with one of those horseshoe pickups.

i mean it would be cool to have like a 63 non reverse gibson thunderbird
or a 65 pbass

but in my mind THE bass is a 4001

Do you own a fucking money tree in your backyard or something ?
the red one was $350 the sunburst with 2 pickups was 800 and the old one i got for free.

thats roughly 2500 dollars worth of bass for 1150

Is that a Jazzmaster bass? I had a six string jag I put together from warmoth and fender parts. I had a guitar tech/luthier put it together for me but I couldn't memorize what exactly everything did on it so it had to go. I've gotta dumb alot of shit down for myself. All of the pre's, posts and presence knobs on amps confuse me too. When I found the setting I liked on my present amp (Peavey classic 50 212 made in U.S.A.), I took a paint marker to it so I can find my sound quickly.

its actualy a jag bass. my local music store ordered one and couldnt sell it so i got it for half price :tongue:

i really want to make a matching jag guitar out of warmoth parts. i priced it out at around 600 bucks. maybe some day but not today

[Froski]

the biggest issue I had putting it together was finding a pickguard that fit right or wasn't old and shrunk

WTF :eek:

[GripFast]

WTF :eek:

back when my family still had money to spare my dad bought a couple expensive guitars and amps from our local music store.

so they really like us. so we get mad deals.

i got an ashdown full stack for 500 (used) new theyre like 2000.

the thing probably had 10 hours worth of play.

im not rich i just get MAAADDD DEALS.

[Froski]

Not at the time, I bought a older black one off ebay that shrunk with age. I had to settle for a "mother of toilet seat white" one from another company. I'm sold on neck-through guitars so I doubt I'll ever put another one together. If you plan on building a jaguar, replacing the bridge with one from a mustang is a standard improvement. You just have to wrap the posts with electrical tape to make it fit. I like instrumental surf music, that was the reason for that project.

thats a big reason why i bought my jag bass, even though thats not what they used. it just reminded me of the surf music i love.


Fucking jealous
yea when ever i tell people about my gearthey think im loaded as shit.

my american deleuxe and ashdown came from the same guy. he buys and sells alot of instruments.

i guess he has a really high up position at dream works (company that makes animated movies and stuff) and makes millions of dollars a year

heh, did it have the flat solid metal pick ups or the black plastic ones with the metal dots?

[GripFast]

when teleportation is invented and readily avalible we should have a WSN jam. although they should work on cryogenically freezing first.

because teleportation is probably far away

[WBC]

flat solid metal.... its been a while.... pretty sure they were split pickups too....

OIrish. fuck yeah. that'd sure sell some records, when they hit the $2 bin because the only people who bought it expected to hear a joke band.

Fuck that I'm waiting for someone to invent a time machine... So I can go back to 1963 and buy like 10 used '59 Les Pauls for like 150 a pop.

Then come back to this present time and sell em for the Kelly Blue Book value which is 250k-400k depending on the condition.

Mine and me fatmates joint collection, his are the lefty black one's, mine are the Epiphone SG, Epiphone Les Paul Custom (bought in two bits) and my favourite Gordon Smith GS1 with Seymour Duncan JB.

Gordon Smith GS1, best Guitars you can get for the money, it outplayed a Gibson SG in the shop when I bought it, it cost me just over £300, with Gibson was £800.

i know i wouldnt trade my bass amp for anything short of an EDEN or Traynor.

ive never really heard anything good or bad about their guitar amps.

whats up with the two imput jacks?
is it stereo?

[rachel]

whats up with the two imput jacks?
is it stereo?

The second jack is for the piezo's only.

They only made these for 1 or 2 years so they are very rare! Unlike other brands in this price range, SA models receive the same individual inspection and set-up as Ibanez's most expensive models. It was built in Japan, not Korea or Indonesia, and inspected/set up here in the States. This baby is for players who want S sleekness, but with a standard flat back. The 25.5 neck scale offers narrow feel and tight tension similar to an RG. The built-in piezos add acoustic clarity to its signature mahogany tone and sustain. As you can see it has 2 outputs. You can run a regular guitar cable out of the lower output for traditional tones and add a second cable out of the upper output to a PA system or acoustic amp for convincing acoustic tones. You can even blend the two sounds with the mini toggle switch which sounds very cool! The Piezo system requires a 9v battery.

God Im being such a nerd, Im just super impressed with this geetar. I jsut saw one for sale on egay for 325. I recommend it to anybody at that price. In 04 I paid about 3 times that amount. and had to wait about a month for it.

over my head. i just plug and play. sounds cool though.

[Chucky Scouser]

is it that high now 250-400?

my dad always talks about those and how cool it would be to have one.
i didnt know they were that high now

Ya i've seen them go on auction for 400-500k for some really nice flametops.

[Yorkshire Rich]

I'm well chuffed with me amp, 60 watt all valve head and 4x12 cab, pickedit up all well cheap. Traded in a temprimental 100 Watt Laney all valve as well. Can't complain about the amp for the money, does what it needs to. I tend to go for practicality over flash, I haven't the spare cash or talent to be paying £1,000's on gear when stuff for half the price will do the job.

[Blood Red Eagle]

that white les paul looks fuckn sweet rich. i had to pass up on one of those puppies not long ago in a closing down sale unfortunately. i like your rack too, all mine are wall mounted now in the spare bedroom. eventually it will be like a guitar shop in there, which will kick arse.

The Les Paul was a bargain, it's only an Epi but it plays nice. I walked into local shop asking for a quote on one, the bloke dissapears into the back room and tells me I might not like what I see but to trust him, he then appears with the les paul in one hand and the head stock in the other.

Once it was glued back together it was as good as new, and cost me all of £150!

[GripFast]

cant you get them new and non broken for like 500 bucks (250pound)

[Yorkshire Rich]

cant you get them new and non broken for like 500 bucks (250pound)
Guitars over here are in £'s what they are over there in $'s - List price on 'em is about £569, but you can pick 'em up for around £400.

Besides I prefer my guitars a little broken! Plus the new one's are too white, mine's gone a nice yellowy off white, much better!

[GripFast]

Its not about being Rich serious musicians make serious sacrifices to have serious equipment hell its really a working class ideal. If your an electrician you gonna get cheap stanley sidecutters or get a set of Kliens that'll last a lifetime? If you get a Ric bass you won't ever want or need another bass you'll get 20 plus years out of it for a grand, thats a bargain. If you don't have a Ric and thats what you want you'll probably end up getting a new bass about every 2 years at about 500 a pop for something remotely decent in 20 years 5000 bucks on a bass guitar when you coulda just spent a grand and got that ric in the firstplace and been done with it. and a thousand bucks today might be hard to spit out but a thousand bucks today in theory is cheaper than that same thousand bucks 20 years from now.

well im only 16 and i still live at home so i dont really have any expenses to pay, no rent, or anything like that.

i can totaly see where your going with this. get somthing good, that your happy with, and thats going to last.

i got my american deleuxe and ashdown the summer between my 8th grade and freshmen year. that pair i could live with for the rest of my life and never want or need a new amp or bass unless i went on a serious tour.

my 78 i got for free so i mean you cant argue with that

my jag bass i bought as an investment more than anything. i could have turned it around immediatly and sold it for twice what i bought it for.
but thats one i predict will be worth some dough when im 50 with a mortgage and an 800 dollar a day crack habbit.
