New Gear Acquisitions

[bbottom]

Picked up an OX bass fuzz yesterday from a dude off of talkbass. I'm pretty pumped to try the thing out at next practice

Those are old Ludwigs.

Of course they are, you lucky sumbitch. 

RIP to your pops' bro.  Glad to see his haul going to a good home.

This was my buddy's dad. He's a crustie/train traveling kid, and wanted no ties. He gave it all to me. I've been going around to our show houses and a couple indie venues that my buddies run and giving out PA equipment so all of the houses have legit PA's. Feels good.

Send 'er on, Ryan!

A boo-teek Boss DM-2 with double the delay time (600ms) and a tone control. Nice, warm, and dead-quiet for analog delay. Doesn't clip out under heavy OD or fuzz. For the price I picked it up for, it was well worth the money.

New scratch plate and screws fro my SG, have a new bridge and tail piece already here so should all be back together this time next week.

Next up is a couple of pre amp filtering caps for my Sound City and a 6L6 or six for the Peavey and we're nearly there.

Ugh, I hate all of the bills I have piling up. Once I think in nearly done, I got hit with another round. I did get one of those souldier straps, it looks cool and is well made but very slippery so on my neck-divers it kinda sucks.

A mighty arsenal, and stuff like that:

Those look a lot nicer than I had anticipated.

Looks awesome! How do they sound?

Edit: Hm, maybe I should read the Mooer topic instead don't you think?

More cheapies! I picked up a Joyo Ultimate Drive on Amazon. So cheap, I sprung for 2 day shipping so I could try it at practice. I wanted to get an OCD, but figured I'd try the Chinese knock off first. I've only tried it on bass so far, but it sounds killer. When/if it ever breaks I might spring for the real deal Fulltone.




Made a clip at home, real quick just after I took it out of the box. Fender MIM Precision in B (rattling like crazy, because it needs a setup) > Ultimate Drive > GK MB800 > DIY 1x10 > Shure SM7b straight into my interface, no compression or EQ. Settings in the pic are what was on the recording.

Since my old band split I've not had a bass around the studio. Picked up this Les Paul Oversized to fill the void.

Yeah, I have a hard on for Les Paul's.

[SoupKitchen]

Wow, that is gorgeous. What's the scale length on that puppy?

[Jake]

Picked up one of them there Yamaha THR10 amps a couple weeks ago. Very, very cool little knockaround amp for the living room and/or recording. Lots of great features on board and even more when connected with the USB cable to a 'puter.

I intended to buy the THR5, and after playing around with both for a while, came to the conclusion that the 10 was definitely worth the extra $hundo.

[neighbor664]

How's that "virtual tube illumination" sound? 

[Jake]

Ha! I think the orange LEDs are a nice touch. Plus, it's easy for me to tell if I left the little fucker on or not.

[Drama]

Wow, that is gorgeous. What's the scale length on that puppy?

It's 34".

The body is oversized, about 10% larger all round than a regular LP.

[natehusky]

Now to figure out how to make it work

^ Awesome man!

I just missed out on a Sunn Model T rig on Craigslist. Called up within an hour of the listing to demo it with the intent to take it and it'd gone. Gutted!

I got one too.  Anyone want mine holler at me.  Will post in the for sale thread.

I think we can find you help with that.

Just snagged this off of Craigslist. Been jonesing to try one of these for a while. I'm very impressed with this instrument, especially when considering what they cost. But I think I've come to the conclusion that most guitars can sound pretty good out of my amplifier wall.

[bitter]

Yowzaa!

[The Shocker]

Man, that is swank!  Seems to be a more deluxe version than my hero's:

Watch that neck dive!

[themusketking]

I love this thing.

That's awesome. You buy that strap just for this?  Newer fender retro?

I have a '64 Olympic that is really sweet. Light, good sound and a baseball bat neck. The tone knob is the real star on it. Lots of tonal swing.
