Just ordered my first new guitar in 20 years. A PRS SE Ace Signature. Nearly £300 off rrp. But of an impulse buy but my old Pacifica is dying. http://www.prsguitarseurope.com/2015/05/new-ace-skunk-anansie-se-signature-exclusive-to-europe/  The bird is an optional sticker!

Nice, you gonna bird it? My mate in a crossover thrash band had never had a "nice" guitar before, just 2nd hand beaters until he went guitar shopping for his 25th birthday, of all the things he could have picked for the music he plays the PRS SE won out and years down the line its still going strong and sounds amazing.

The proper route to take in regards to PRS guitars is to maximize the birds on the wood. The actual secret to the PRS sound is the level of tonebirds they squeeze into each instrument. An extra sticker should push it over the edge and give you everything from "haunting squawks" in the mid range to a nice chirp in the top end. As a PRS S2 owner I am jealous of your extra bird and support it fully.

I got a Digitech Ventura Vibe It's nice, it does leslie rotary stuff which is what I wanted it for, but it does lots more too. Nice quality, sounds good. I also got a TC Spark booster because I don't sometimes want distortion, more of a clean valve sound breaking up and it does it so well  Overall happy with both but the Vibe will be used sparingly, it does does a creepily good version of the Led Zep sound from No Quarter and Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds too Oddly both these pedals do something cool when you keep your foot on them, the Vibe speeds the effect up to max if you keep pressing down and the TC Spark you can leave off and just keep your foot on to activate, and step off to de activate

I've been GASing for Digitech stuff lately. Their new stuff seems to have knocked it out of the park. I don't even use Leslie/Vibrato or Synth sounds but I really want a Ventura and Dirty Robot. I honestly think it's half due to the fact that they just look awesome.

One of my friends used to have one of these as a teenager and he sold it and went for a les paul because he found it to be too twangy I don't have the heart to tell him it was probably just because the RR3 came with the JB/Jazz combo which is known for sounding really trebly and twangy to some people and that it was probably fine

I recently switched from 9's to 11's on my SG and found it to be a remarkable difference. Once the V comes in, my SG's going to be permanently tuned to C. (Or maybe open G or D for slide) To be honest, I'd really prefer this one in flat black instead of satin grey, and rear-routed instead of a pickguard and without the white binding on the neck but it was either go with this or do a custom build and I'm saving my custom build for my lefty Explorer for Xmas. @ a winner is jew and peter gabriel... thanks, yay I'm not the only 'pointy 80's metal guitars' fan here, woo! meatcookie fucked around with this message at 04:09 on May 11, 2016 |

Got the EHX LBP-1 booster, MXR M82 Bass Envelope Filter, DigiTech Bass Whammy, and AXS III Road Buddy board all at about the same time. This is just the whammy and compressor. The Road Buddy's case definitely saves time during setup and breakdown.

Allen Wren posted:I've wanted a decent vibrato since forever, and one that does Leslie sounds as well is totally my poo poo. This may be the thing next paycheck. It's good, I was looking at Hughes and Kettner Rotospheres, those are the grand daddies of leslie sounds, but they are expensive and only do that one thing, but do it very very well. The Ventura Vibe has it all in there, but like some pedals you have to sit with it and really spend some time dialling sounds in - because you are in that area of effects here where it can sound very lovely very easily. It comes with some suggested settings and some of them are just so spot on, it's a quality pedal when you do get the sound you want. Edit: Just to add, the vibrato I use is a Electro Harmonix Stereo Pulsar, I love that so don't think I have the Vibe for vibrato, I haven't really played with that side of it yet, it could be poo poo - I doubt it but I can't vouch for it yet, the leslie sounds I can though. peter gabriel fucked around with this message at 14:58 on May 11, 2016 |

Pondex posted:Does that sound allright through a guitar-amp or do you need a bass amp? I'm not really sure to be honest. I don't own a bass amp to compare them right now. I've been playing it through my peavy studio pro 112 which I just use as a practice amp. It sounds fine on it, although I rolled off the bass just to be safe. I've been playing it more like a guitar than a bass anyways

My weird-rear end squier bigsby tele is in the same price range and I love it. Really tempted by the Bass VI, but I'm also tempted to just get a regular cheap bass at half the price, since I don't have prior bass experience. Or an amp. Or maybe I just buy a POG2 when I want to make bass noises?

Squier VM P or J is the best new bang for your buck by a mile, and there are always good used basses available for patient people. Or have someone custom build one for you, that's totally cost effective.  9 1/2 pounds of awesomeness. He did the initial build today, and started the ramp. Super cool.  Sounds like he will be applying the finish soon, and it could be ready to ship as early as the end of next week. I'm going to blister the gently caress out of my fingers playing this thing over the holiday weekend

 The Rotosphere is the newest thing -- not pictured beneath is a Decibel11 Split Personality, controlled by MIDI to route to my two amps (one of the amps is new as well - a Randall Commander which sounds really fantastic for solid state). Oh and a lot of cables and crap I had made for this thing. Plenty of room still for the 3 other pedals on the list (and a tuner) but none of them are essential really, except the tuner. As you can see, the Rotosphere is loving gigantic but it sounds really, really nice Oh and the 4-bay patcher for 3 outs to the amps, and one is the input from the guitar Schlieren fucked around with this message at 05:19 on May 12, 2016 |

Got a cool new Ibanez Talman! I guess you can only get this color combo at Guitar Center, otherwise it's just Red and Seafoam Green. Sounds like a Tele, plays like a cross between an Ibanez and a Fender. It's small and very light. Needed some fret end attention like all factory instruments do, and I'll be getting a set of Nordstrand NVT A3 pickups put in ASAP, but it's so nice. Makes me play substantially differently than my RGA121 which was the point.

I've never seen one in the wild, but I'm sure it is similar quality to other VMs. It would be a shame if they stopped making them, I had a blast noodling with a Fender Jag bass a few years ago, flipping all those switches and such.

The ugly short scale version seems unfortunately abundant, but drat the black/tort/matching headstock/full scale model is the sexiest bass' I've ever seen.
