Any guitar players on TW?

Thanks for the pics!
How was the rest of the show? I heard Rudy Sarzo and Rick Neilson were hanging out.

 

it was a small group of us, so it was just a daytrip. the only celeb i saw was Stephen Carpenter at the ESP booth. but it was a good time. spent a lot of time looking for pedal manufacturers (Alexander, Mr. Black, Electro Harmonix, and Walrus). met the dude from Rattlesnake cables, it was kind of weird putting a face to someone i've been ordering cables from for years. went to the Sequential booth, met Dave Smith (!!!) and mucked around on their new Pro 3 for a while. might have to buy one, but we'll see. there were a few new synth makers that i hadn't seen before. UDO is putting out a 6-voice polysynth that sounds incredible. also the new Korg Wavestation sounds killer too. looks like wavetable technology from the 80s is making a comeback. Fender's also reissuing their HM series from the 80s. i somehow missed the Ibanez booth this year, but i saw pictures of their new ukeleles. also completely skipped the overseas section which i'm kind of mad about, they usually have a lot of interesting things that i wouldn't know about otherwise. spent a lot of time in the recording/ pro audio building this year. sat in on a presentation for Avid's Pro Tools 2020. no Ableton booth though, which is a shame because that's my DAW of choice. sat in on a presentation from MOTU about their new interfaces (i bought an M4 a month or so back), incredible things in a small package. learned about Avantone studio monitors which might be perfect for my small studio set up.

OH FUCK, the REVERB booth! they had alllllll this vintage equipment up for display. EHX pedals from the 70s, original synths from the same time period, and a bunch of crazy shaped guitars that got lost to time. no shirts though, that breaks my streak of having a Reverb/ NAMM shirt since 2016.

all in all, great time. hopefully next year we have a better group and can stay more than one day.

 

Sadly, the input for the mini jack for my new Tascam foot pedal is mounted in the front of the machine.

Really stupid place for it.

Anyone know if the plug can be replaced?
I hate to send it all the way back to Sweetwater for a replacement.

 

Fender T Bucket I picked up.

 

sounds like the M-1000 Deluxe, i had the H-1000 without the Floyd and the old tear drop headstock. those guitars ruled. and a great find if you ever find them used. ltd 1000 series were a slight step below MIJ ESP Standards, especially Korean made ones.

best route would be to buy another cable and replace it at the footswitch end. might be able to splice a new mini-plug at the break, but would look cleaner replacing the whole thing.

 

Hadn't really thought about even using the pedal,
It came bundled with the recorder.
Might try to find someone local to repair it as it's something way beyond what I could do.

 

Lol. Wut?

 

The fly is a nice touch.

 

I’m speechless.

Drummer: Your guitar really sounded like sh*t last night.

me: Thanks, man!

 

Anyone have experience with https://bootstrappickups.com/?

 

no, but those are pretty solid prices. aside from the standard Seymour Duncan's and DiMarzio's, i've only tried a handful boutique pickups. BLK/TRI was my favorite, but they don't seem to be operating anymore. Avedissian is really good too, i prefer them to Bare Knuckles. and my favorite budget pickups are GFS, they make a wide range of pickups that are super affordable and actually sound good.

 

so i've just started playing (taking lessons) at 54 yrs of age. looking to upgrade my acoustic in the future to the Seagull S6. Anyone using one of these.

I started playing 3 years ago at 45. Wish I had started earlier. My Gibson

 

Sweet guitar!

 

Sadly, I put my Kramer up for sale.......again.
I need to get a forest green and black, Ibanez 520 and a black 440 to
complete my "84" collection. Soooo close that im giving up my prized Voyager.

Lots of interest and comments but no one wants to pony up.

 

I do have a guy that has a forest green 520. Sadly, its not in the collectable state suitable
for my collection.
The 520 is the hardest to find. The Forest green is the absolute hardest color to find. It took me years to find the FG 430 that I have.
I hate that it has come to selling the kramer but it looks like it will take $2k-2.5k for me
to get my hands on something in the collectable range.

 

Guess what just popped up on reverb?

Got a couple bumps on it. I made an offer. We shall see.

 

This is a sign from above!

 

2 minutes after I made my offer.
Someone also realized it was to good to be true and just paid full price.
