Guitar setup almost complete... Post your guitar setups!

[mattyrug]

A 1972 Marshall (Tan Covered Master Model 50) JMP Mk. 2 Lead, w/ an older JCM900 Top (Slant) Cab.
or - (not sure of the year, mid 60's? ) Old Tan Faced Fender Dual Showman Deluxe..........
I sometimes use the following pedals - Crybaby Wah, an old Boss DM-2 Analog Delay (Currently looking for an Echoplex), an old Boss Flanger and/or Chorus, and an old Rat Pedal (Rarerly, though!)

My Bass rig is pretty basic as well, I've got an old Intersound Bass Preamp (6 Bands of parametric eq that baby!!), a DBX160XT Compressor, and a QSC PLX-3002 Amp, running into a 2 Peavey 2x10 Cabs.

My Guitars are nothing fancy either -
a 94 Les Paul Special (P-90's)
a '72 Tele Standard, but the neck was replaced with a Tokai Strat Neck
some peice of crap Ovation Celebrity Acoustic
and a black Spector Bass (4 string)

Keep it simple is my theory. It ain't the Amp that's making 90% of the sound, it's you, your fingers, and your tecnique!

My bass setup.

The amp sucks like crazy. Ill have to take a picture of my setup at my drummers basement. I cant have anything too big here because of neighbors

scott mac how do you like the gibson es335? i just bought one and it shuld be arrvign next week.

 

[ScottMac]

It's a wunnerful thing - The action is slick, the tone is extremely versatile - good for just about anything. I like it for blues and jazz with a little old time rock & roll just for the hell of it.

I almost went for the natural (another ~300.00) but got to like the cherry after a short while. Plus the Rickenbacker is natural (real pretty), and thought a little color would be a good thing.

Happy Holidays (if you're celebrating a holiday around this time of year ......)

1977 Gibson Solid Mahogany SG Limited, twin humbuckers (1 zebra). Rack of Boss analog effect, and a Morely wah. Fender twin reverb amp. I'm very happy with it all.

What's the point of having 'em if you're not playin' 'em?

 

[ProviaFan]

I just have a POS acoustic that I'm currently learning on, but I'd like to get an electric eventually. Only problem is that I already spend too much money on my computers, so another expensive hobby is not what I need.

 

[thomsbrain]

ibenez JS100 joe satriani signature model, black, detuned
fender mex-strat, weird old blue color i don't see anymore, seymor duncan hot rails humbucker, custom pickguard, creative use of a sharpie pen. the humbucker in this one is so hot i have to damp the strings behind the nut with earplugs to keep them from ringing audibly.
little 20 watt crate gathering dust
marshall half stack (valvestate 8100 head, first model they came out with)
big muff pedal
snarling dog erogenous moan volume/backwards simulator pedal


shopping list:
SG
mesa dual rectifier head
JCM 800 or 900 head
another 4x12 cab maybe
Schecter C1 Classic, or whatever the neck-through/strings-through model is.

heh, no, I have one that somebody gave me. i like it alot, actually, the fretboard is very wide and flat, and you don't need a pick to play it!

 

[silverpig]

Mucman has a classical guitar too,

 

[mpitts]

Guitars:

1998 American Standard Fender Strat - Sunburst with maple neck (I hate sunbursts, but I didn't pay for it)
Epiphone Acoustic
I also have another electric that my friend built. Pretty nice (Looks kinda like a washburn)

Amp:

Marshall JCM2000 TSL602

Effects:

Line6 Pod 2.0
Miscellaneous stomp boxes (Big Muff, Danelectro distortion)

Most of the time I use the distortion built into the amp (which is awesome), but the Line6 kicks ASS for recording.

 

[yellowperil]

I have a cheap set of guitars - Alvarez RD20S, Squier Affinity P-Bass, Squier Fat Tele, and Ibanez ac/el, also a Johnson J-Station. I changed the pickups on the P-Bass and Tele so I'm happy with what I've got now. I haven't played my guitars in a long time though, after I started messing with soft synths (saving up for a USB MIDI keyboard now).

As I said in the post that was above the post above yours, I have an acoustic ("classical") guitar. It's a cheaper and crappier one; the strings are pretty high above the neck of the guitar, so playing anything except basic chords on it can be kind of painful.

In fact, I was at a music store today (Conservatory of Music in Terre Haute, IN for those who might know of that place) looking at some of the guitars.

<-- was looking at the Fender "Made in Mexico" strats, since they're in my price range (the higher models, OTOH, are not). Is such a guitar worth getting, or would I be better off waiting and getting a "Made in America" strat or perhaps some other kind of electric entirely?

 

[Damage]

I don't really play anymore but I have

Ibanez ex370 Flame maple top (purple)
Ibanez Talman in jalepeno green
Aria Pro II Urchin bolt neck with EMG-85's
Aria Pro II Urchin neck thru in white
Guild Shallow electric acoustic
??? Clasical guitar I bought in Holland

For Power I have a Dean Markley K150 with a 4 speaker cabinet under it, a Marshal 9000 Preamp, and a digitech "Metal Machine" from the 80's.. (It's a hoot...)

 

[step-dawg]

how much does a Digital Echoplex cost? i see one on ebay for 700.. I dont think i really wanna spend that much money on a looping station. Max memory i need is probably around 2 minutes.

I think the store I work for sells them for about $400.00 new. They come with full memory installed now. I will check and post back the facts.

My MexStrat ROCKS!

I have a cheap Yamaha accoustic sj400 or something like that. It's bout 18 years old and sounds absolutely amazing. My electric is a truly wonderful Telecaster Thinline 1972. I run everything: voice, accoustic and electric through my Lexicon digital effects processor. I've got a nice old tube screamer distortion peddle and a small Fender tube amp. And you know what, all the great equipment in the world aint worth a damn if you can't play. That was a very great piece of advice I was give free some 25 years ago.

alee25, are you naming yourself after a very great guitar player with the first name alvin?

 

[aircooled]

I've got a black mid-80's Jackson/Charvel with active EMG 81 Humbucker.

i also have a 12 string Washburn acoustic

Used to have a Marshall 50 w tube half stack but had to sell it several years ago... :-(
