Pirateparty posted:Oooooooooooooooooooooh! The faded LP studio! Hows that badboy sound? Simply put, it sounds fantastic. I was a bit nervous at first because of how low the price was, but goddamn it, even with a little DS-1, it rocked just as much as the 1500$ Gibsons I've tried at my local music shop. The clean tone is rich and warm. The finish is beautiful too; it certainly beats the 93892 other Les Pauls with flameburst finishes. The action is low and easy to play (although the 2 bottom strings buzza bit in the lower frets, simple matter of adjusting string height). In short, it's a really good guitar. Quite the step up from my Chinese Squier Strat.

Whaddup So, I'm currently unloading all my prior distortion pedals in anticipaton of...  The Damage Control Glass Nexus. Dual 12AX7@250V tube buffered digital effects unit. Does several great reverbs, delay, and another effect of your choice - several types of chorus, flanger, phaser, vibrato, etc. I don't know why they've got the tubes there, or why they're biased at amp levels, because it isn't a dirt pedal, but whatever - the specs on this thing are great, and I've done a bit of research on the chip they're using in it and I'm very impressed. Going to retire my Dan-Echo and my little Korg unit (supplying reverb and a tuner, and effects when needed), and then apart from my Danelectro Fish-n'-Chips equalizers and my Morley GL Dragon Wah, I'll have an all Damage Control signal chain. At least until I buy a new tuner. Might do that at the same time. I've been thinking about a Strobostomp 2, anyone used one? Or other tuner recommendations? I'd prefer to avoid the TU-2 or its Behringer or Fender equivilents, but other than that I'm open to suggestions.

Well, it is a really loving good effects unit, supposedly Eventide-quality effects... but it's only going to run me $400 shipped. It is cheaper here because it is manufactured locally (well, in California), but they're putting the screws to European buyers big time apparently. Sorry man.

Handen posted:Happy new guitar day, Guitar of the Week buddy! mit_senf posted:Holy crap that is a beautiful finish. Where'd you get it and how much did it set you back? Via Musicians Friend for $1999. Handen has it pegged: it was Guitar of the Week for week 16. 3toes posted:That finish is limited run isn't it? Congrats! Yeah, the Les Paul Classic Custom Silverburst was a limited run of 400. Mine was backordered for the past month and a half. I was fully expecting a phone call informing me they were out-of-stock. Thankfully, they came through with the backorder. Steiler Drep posted:Props on the purchase though. I don't like LPs as much but I guess you'll enjoy it a lot. Yeah, it partly makes amends for a wrong I committed 9 years ago when I sold my '73 Re-issue Goldtop Deluxe. I missed it ever since. As with anybody finding the right instrument, it's always a relief to finally scratch a specific musical itch that seems out of reach with other instruments. And likewise, there are other itches that only my strat or Ibanez can reach in their own right.

3toes posted:What does it do? I may as well just quote the website. "In addition to astoundingly new effects, the Chopper will produce the ultimate versions of traditional effects such as tremolo, auto pan and Leslie (rotating cabinet) effects, but all with a key difference- the frequency of the effects can be varied with the on-board pedal unit. No additional expression pedal is needed." website here There are samples on the site but some of them are just stupid and annoying. One of them is apparently a delay emulation which sounds almost nothing like a delay... The panning and tremolo effects are what interested me. The Leslie effect would be fun too.

I play a 412 which is pretty much the same thing except a smaller body and ovankol instead of sapele for the back and sides and it is just a fantastic guitar. The satin neck finish is fast as hell.

My new project: It's a 70s SG bass copy made by "Global", which I think had something to do with Teisco. I can't find any info on it online. Buuuut it only was 50 bucks on eBay and I sort of fell in love with its chunky awesomeness. Here's the headstock:  And here it is next to my workhorse:

And here I thought I was over my G.A.S. Sorry for the lousy picture. My Rivera amp poo poo the bed, so I'm using an old Fender Stage 112 in the meantime. Thought I could use some foot candy to make it a little more interesting. It's everything I had hoped for.

The banjo I got about a month ago, 20 bucks missing the nut, bridge, and 5th string tuner, cost another 50 to repair it and I just got it back. The electric is a couple months old, $80 at a pawn shop. The fender acoustic is old ignore that. The 12 string is a Westminster that I got for $50 at a flea market because the guy who owned it didn't feel like "repairing it". I took it home and found the only repairs it need were new strings, a new set of bridge pins and a good dusting. The neck is straight as an arrow and it sounds better than my $200 fender acoustic. Right now its tuned to some insane modal tuning and capo'd at like the 9th fret and it sounds beautiful.

 Avatar 2x12 as shown here - will try to get an actual picture later tonight. I grabbed it speakerless off eBay for $167 and put my V30's in it  By the way, Dave at Avatar is a  dude.A big 'gently caress you' to DHL as well, they delivered it to a totally wrong road miles away. Luckily for me the dude who received it was nice enough to call my number that was on the shipping label and tell me.
