Any guitar players on TW?

Just gotta get out of the house to go to shows and meet folk I guess. That's a tough one for me. Homebody. Haha

Aw man you messed up.


-Power distributor
-Avid Eleven Rack
Just a multi-FX processor. Has amp modeling too, just don't use it.
-Two Notes Torpedo Live
Load box with speaker cab impulses for silent recording or running straight to FOH in a small stage getup.
-Pedal drawer

An EHX bass balls that emulates my talk box that's in the shelf on the closet cause it's a bitch to take to gigs, a Joyo Tremolo cause there isn't one in the 11R, a Mooer harmonizer. All in the FX loop and the voodoo lab hex to midi control if they're IN the loop or bypass.

Then that JHS prestige back there is always on in front of the 11R as a buffer/clean boost.

-Revv Generator 100
Badass 3-channel (actually 5) MIDI controllable amp that is just the best thing in the world.

 

Whoa. Damb. That's Radass. I bet that was fun to build.

 

Totally! Had a few head scratching moments. But worth it. Still need to clean up the cable runs.

 

Thanks man. It's the Tribute T model 2017. That honey burst is to die for and the 490R and 498T pickups are actually great. I want to gig the guitar pretty bad but I feel like when I pick up the guitar I just have the urge and need to play strictly classic rock! It's a gem and even for Gibson's most affordable Les Paul (MSRP $999) it blows my other guitars away!

 

Same here. It's all Skynyrd and Tom Petty when I play mine.

 

I played a Mexican Jazzmaster (or was it a Mustang) with P-90s at my local guitar shop a few months back. It sounded amazing. I found it ironic that Fender P-90s sounded more like P-90s than any of the modern Gibson/Epiphone P-90s I've played.

 

is my bass practice rig a little impractical?

 

Not at all. That's perfect!

 

What is this "practical"?

Anyone want a Jimi Hendrix guitar?

Any regrets on the ones you sold? I wish I'd kept my first and second electrics. The first was a Japanese Charvel Model 1 with a genuine Floyd Rose instead of the Jackson brand ones most of them had. The 80s Model 1s are selling for over $600 now. I took a rotary sander to it in high school trying to make it natural finish and ended up destroying it.

My second was one of the early Korean "Epiphone By Gibson" Sheraton IIs. The thing was mint. Really wish I still had that one. My 2016 Les Paul Standard was hard to part with, but I couldn't justify having $2000 tied up in a guitar that made the same noises as my less expensive and lighter SG.

The first and Second Epiphone Casinos were great. They were made by Cort at the Peerless Plant in Korea. My current Casino is Chinese and a fine player, but it lacks that "magic" of the Peerless plant. Similarly, I'll always miss the Epiphone Korina Explorer. It was a dream as well, though I didn't play it enough. The '61 Kay Galaxy was awesome. Best natural patina and checking I've ever seen in a guitar finish. The Fender Nashville telecaster was another gem. I'll always miss that one.

 

I agree that the Korean ones were better. My 1993 G-400 (SG) was built in the Samick plant in Korea. The build quality is excellent, although the electronics were cheap. I upgraded everything electronic in it, probably spending more than the value of the guitar on upgrades. It plays and sounds better than my real SG now.

 

I sold my Gibson SG in favor of an Epiphone Korina SG that had the finish & neck sanded as well as the guts swapped for American stuff. It slayed the Gibson.

 

Here it is: Seymour Duncan '59 Custom Hybrid in the bridge, Alnico II Pro in the neck, BCS 50s style wiring harness with vintage Russian paper-in-oil capacitors. I added coil splits once I learned how to solder better.
