Show us your guitars yay

[Jake]

Is that a Troy Van Leeuwen model? Nice! I've heard the most expensive part of maintaining those is all the Hugo Boss suits you have to buy to be able to play it.

[mulekicker]

Yeah, it's getting really expensive. Everytime I play it I have to primp for like 2 hours first. I actually really like it. Thankfully it doesn't have his name anywhere on it. Definitely not bought for fanboy reasons, just like  the 3 p90s and bigsby. Needs a roller bridge though.

[Mr. Foxen]

Just arrived. I should try it thorough all my amps before I decide the pickups need changing.

[VOLVO)))]

Switch out those Rockfields, they are absolute garbage. That guitar needs Super Ds. What'd you pay for that?

I found some powder coated black covered super Ds for the one I modded.

[Mr. Foxen]

Thinking of P90ing it, buckers are boring, avoid doing standard stuff to guitars, already got an EMGed SG that's great, but in a mundane sort of way. Paid £160 delivered.

[Corey Y]

Nice score there Mr. Foxen. Our singer/guitarist in Cold Mourning picked up one of the higher end exotic wood Mockingbirds a couple years ago, he swapped the pickups out immediately. The Rockfields sounded pretty weak. He pretty much just collects Mockingbirds and puts Invaders in the bridge position on all of them though.

[apekillman]

Hey foxen, what's that amp above the orange combo?

[RAGER]

Looks like a Carlsbro 50

[Mr. Foxen]

Its a 100 Top. Partridge iron. Scruffy, but a really nice amp.

[RAGER]

Just the way I like em

[Instant Dan]

I feel like a chump now for how much Foxen paid for his Mock.







The Good:
- Neck is not as wide as I thought and comfy.
- No sustain issues as I expected.
- Not too heavy and not too light.
- Tuners/bridge are actually decent quality.

The Bad:
- These p'ups suck. I need some Super D's or Super D/PAF combo stat.
- Nut job is needed
- Some frets need some filing.

Otherwise, not bad. I think once the p'ups and tuning issue is solved, this baby is going to be awesome.

Those Rockfields are god. fucking. awful. I didn't even keep the ones I've pulled out of those, they went straight to the garbage can. Those Reissue Mocks aren't terrible, I can't deal with the cloud inlays, or the stringers, though. I like my metal guitars to be plain, and classy. Really like the U-series BC Riches...

[VOLVO)))]

My old red Mock, bolty NJ with a Buzzard headstock, paid 60 bucks for it.



My other Mock, 86 USA Neckthru, Kahler'd, recently put some white super D's in it.

[Instant Dan]

U series! That is the term for the Japanese imported BC Riches.

I understand the 'classy metal' axe look. Unfortunately I am not metal enough anymore to use those guitars with pride so the natural look seems to fit me better.



I wish I could find those knobs that they used on these.

[VOLVO)))]

Those are pretty easy to find, if you want, I can put a word in to a buddy who could sell you some, more than likely?

[RAGER]

Some of those B.C.'s are fuking hideous.  Eeeesh.  You're not Blackie.

I'd prolly play one of those natural Mockingbirds with some T Tops and some speed knobs though.

[VOLVO)))]

Naw, nilla. Different strokes. The Ironbird is my fav, Stealth second, Mock third, and Warlocks come somewhere close to 4th. You can't get me near any of the new ones, 'cept for those natural mocks.

Derpity derp.

[Instant Dan]

Thanks, dude. I appreciate it.

[clockwork green]

I'd love a good Ironbird but only with an "R" logo (I hate the script).

[Mr. Foxen]

Whilst we are having a post your BC Rich session, can't remember if I showed off this before:


You may have seen this bass before if you like Cathedral:

Those knobs are much cheaper from less specialist places: http://www.kh-audio.com/e-productinfo.asp?id=1276

Cool piece of music history (to me!) and a cool bass. I love the Eagle basses. I keep trying to find a late 70s one, but the timing is never right. I had my Drake Custom bass done in an Eagle "inspired" shape.

[Mr. Foxen]

If you find a right time, Lorne of various forums should be able to point you at one.

[VOLVO)))]

Lorne is unhinggggeeedddddd. Jay or Allen Searls, or Tony from black fucking cancer is who you want.

The bcrichplayers forum was my previous home, whilst in limbo during the "void times." Some shit went down and I didn't like who got fucked in the wake of it, so I defected. The admin and mods are shady, and crooked.

[jibberish]

does that mean I have to throw those 3 cathedral albums away?
