guitar amps and guitars

[poly800rock]

since someone posted an orange amp, and serge talking shop about mesa's, i figured a bunch of us play guitar. post your gear.

guitar gibson sg

amp(s) fender 1969 twin orginal, replaced the speakers, JCM 800 1 channel combo.

always wanted an orange back in the day, but as my style and playing progressed, i found that i didn't use any distortion so i'm happy with the twin. still really want a fender jazzmaster, due to old robert smith photos and kevin shields

[keagan]

I don't really play guitar but;

Fender Hot Rod Deville

Fender Jaguar (jap)

Ibanez Artcore

Recently sold 3/4ths of my pedals and got NI's guitar rig 2...

[arem]

I don't play much anymore, but here's my gear:

Amps:

1974 Marshall Super Lead (for sale, PM me for the GBase listing)

Sovtek Mig 100G

Ampeg Super Jet

Fender 4x12 cabinet

Guitars:

1985 Kramer Focus 3000 (my first real guitar, bought it new)

Strat-style custom built by ESP in New York

90's American Standard Telecaster w/Duncan PU's

and my baby

1972 Stratocaster that some previous owner butchered in the 80's. It plays super nice, but it's been thru hell and needs a re-fret badly.

I've also got a giant box of effect pedals that I've been selling off, I stopped using all but one (a Frantone Peachfuzz) years ago.

[Icarus]

Well, bass rig at least:

2006 Lakland Bob Glaub Skyline, black with tortoise shell pickguard

Roland KC-550 (keyboard amp with wonderfully clean channels and amazing low end and crisp highs)

I find it to be a decent p-base rig, especially when some of the amp's shortcomings are mitigated by pedals. Absolutely nothing to complain about when it comes to the bass; the craftsmanship, look, heft, and tone are wonderful.

I'm more of a drummer, but I have a guitar and a shitty amp to mess around with.

I have a epiphone les paul goth and a crate 15 watt amp. I use it mostly to write music, god knows what a catastrophe it would be if I used it to play a gig...

[steven]

old strats look better aged IMO..

i had a fender twin reverb but just sold it... looking for a vintage jcm800 now or either a boutique amp like a matamp.

[poly800rock]

get a jcm800 first before you go boutique. the distortion/preamp on it is amazing. There's a reason why they say that Van Halen plays a JCM800 behind stacks of 5150's. Corgan used it and Shields used it. That's enough convincing for me.

[machineo]

ibanez rg470

id love to get my hands on a thinline tele and i really enjoyed playing the jagstang too. no pedals or fuzzboxes, just an old peavey. i have a pocket amp bc i like to play out in the middle of nowhere.

[fndmybetterhalf]

played for 7 years and somewhat phased out of music.

Gibson Les Paul Standard in Honeyburst

Epiphone Sheraton II

Fender Hot Rod Deville 410

various pedals.

[scfdefinit]

An Agile Les Paul copy. I really love Les Pauls but I was in HS at the time and had no money. So I did my research and instead of getting an Epiphone a lot of people said Agile makes the best fake LPs, closest to the real thing as possible. Sounds great: made of real AA grade mahogany/maple, ebony neck with abalone inlays and decent pick-ups, generic but they sound almost as good as duncans. Set me back 400.

Then for my amp I use a Roland Cube practice amp. I have a fender tuner pedal and Boss SD-1.

Cables I have DiMarzios and I usally use Ernie Ball slinky strings.

I haven't really been playing as of lately though.

[mizanation]

that's awesome that there are so many guitar and bass players here.

i'm primarily a jazz trumpet player. but i do play a little guitar:

epiphone SG

cheap ibanez bass

ncie spanish guitar made out of sycamore

30 watt fender champion amp

vox wow-wow pedal.

my trumpets are much nicer:

an 80s era burbank benge medium-large plus silver-plated

a london besson

gustat mouthpiece replica (repro of what miles davis used to play)

1C bach megatone mouthpiece

3C bach standard

14A4A shilke (i rarely play this one)

[coleslawyum]

I don't have a lot of gear and I usually butcher the stuff I got. I like to fiddle with the electronics and make them lose value.

- Gibson 59 Black Beauty reissue, outfitted with EMG's

- Hamer Standard USA (changed all hardware to gold)

- Jackson SL1 USA oufitted with a Dimebucker

- Homemade Flying V with PRS pickups

- Cordoba 90's classical guitar (forget which model)

Here's a picture of my homemade V:

Funny thing is, with all this gear, I can't really play worth a damn… I just pretend I do.

[mizanation]

coleslaw, i've heard you play and you're not bad, man.

[swooc]

ashton acoustic (super cheap laminated australian guitar)

epiphone SG

crappy 15w crate amp

being left hand sucks, the range is so limited especially here in aus.

[phen3N]

my guitars:

squier affinity strat (my first electric guitar)

gibson sg faded brown

martin acoustic (dont remember the model number)

my amp is a marshall combo amp and i regret getting it. i realized that for the same price i couldve gotten a fender amp with better features.

[coleslawyum]

coleslaw, i've heard you play and you're not bad, man.

Thanks miz, and you are an awesome trumpet player, but I still kinda suck.

Mmmmmmmm. jcm800. Good call.

2001 Gibson SG Special in Cream with gold hardware and ebony fretboard.

[Sook A Look]

Bass player here but I dabble in guitar:

Fender Standard Precision Agave Blue

Musicman Stingray 4 Sunburst with black pickguard

Carlo Robelli Acoustic

Squier Strat

Fender Bassman 25

Small 10w Brownsville

I would love to get an ampeg classic half-stack in the near future though.

kerry king using it was convincing enough

[Aramyr]

I am very slack about my playing lately, because I'm being a lazy fuck. Mainly play jazz and some rock.

Gibson Real Feel '59 RI Les Paul

PRS Hollowbody II AP

Blockhead Firstborn 18w 2x12 combo

Gibson GA-5

Need to add an old blackface Fender, but other stuff has been sapping away all my cash lately.

[jpgm]

playing in a couple of bands at the moment, i can't get enough.

epiphone SG (LP special) with EMG 81 and 89 pickups

ESP horizon nt-2

epiphone LP special

ibanez talman

plus a couple of old guitars that are beat to shit.

marshall mode 4 head + box

marshall jcm900 head

peavey audition combo

various fx, including boss digtal delay, DOD chorus, line6 delay modeler, boss hyper fuzz

[lithiumsys]

Epiphone Les Paul Jr

Pocket Rock-it amp

I gota beginner kit last Christmas, haha. Although I never use it.

[mizanation]

you know, i don't need another guitar, and more importantly, i really can't afford one, but like denim, you always want more.

been eyeing the paul reed smith se custom:

it's the best playing and best sounding guitar i've played under $600.

[Guest panicinapagoda]

CIJ 72' tele custom

epiphone japan 61' sg

framus dragon

mesa f-30

lopoline 2x12 with emi governers.

[mizanation]

some wealthy kids on this forum.

[retemeris]

pretty simple setup..

fender cyclone that i built.. w/ JB and a tex mex

fender hot rod deluxe

[keagan]

lately i've been going artcore(half a step down)>boss blues driver>amp with all the eq's cranked to ten and playing with the neck pickup. I get the honest-to-god best hardblues sound i've ever heard. With the eqs brought down, this also works with for a good 60's fuzz sound- ala hendrix- without a fuzzbox.

[tangerine]

don't play much anymore...

Fender American Standard Strat circa '89

Fender Custom Shop Strat circa '93

JCM 800 2205 through a 2 x 12 monitor

some crappy SS Peavey for practice

[isdenn]

right now i pretty much only play my martin d-1.

and whoa, wasnt expecting to see someone else who owns a talman. i have the one with the flame maple top, in yellow (or "butterscotch" as i think they described it in the catalogue). no amp right now bc i havent played electric guitar in years...but i just got the talman set up actually and need to pick up a decent little practice amp...anyone have any suggestions? im in an apartment, and dont plan on playing out with it, so its ok if it's not mega loud.
