2004 Ibanez AW12ECE-NT Acoustic Electric

I also have a crappy ibanez bass which isn't worth posting. Both of those guitars have been great to me and I would highly recommend either of them.

Schecter C-1+

crappy yamaha student model alto sax but awesome selmer c-star mouthpiece ( http://www.musicstoreinc.com/inventory/pics/mpsax12.jpg ) and nice BG ligature ( http://www.bonnersmusic.co.uk/acatal...revelation.jpg ).. getting new sax soon

awesome Buffet Bb clarinet, pretty average ligature and mouthpiece though

i use vandoren 3 reeds for both sax and clarinet

my brother has a nice grand piano in his room, and we have a roland keyboard for jazz gigs.

an entry level ibanez guitar with dying humbucker pickups

an average ibanez bass bought at the start of this year

i used to play violin but i used one hired from the school i went to at the time

Never heard of that luthier... how's his work?

Weird instrument.

This is my woman, I call her Kelly.

Decent guitar for a beginner... it has a huge ass though.

Metalforever, violins F'cking rock- could you give me some info on where I could buy a good electric violin? something that's not too expensive but at the same time something that doesn't sound like crap?

drums.... drums everywhere...

OLP MM2 Bass, 4-string
Just sold a Squire P-bass
Epiphone Les Paul Standard
Squire Strat
Hondo II, one broken pick-up and the neck is warped
Custom piece of shit that I was going to smash, but it broke before I got to that.
Yamahki, or some name like that, Acoustic guitar
Some Boss pedals
Zoom 505II
Yamaha GEP50, Effects Processor
Peavey Audition 20 Amp
Fender amp, 15 0r 20 watt
Crate BX15 Bass amp

this all depends on your standards.... a piece of crap violin (which, mind you, is already quite expensive) may be good enough.

drums. not good drums. just drums.

Sunlite 4-piece.
DW hardware.
Paiste crash.
Zildjian hi-hats and ride.

hear them. it's crap. it's also a shameless plug.

atm, i only own a regular violin, not an electric one(im broke). but the one i own was $800, which was not really top of the line(still a very nice sound), but they run really expensive.


If i was going to get an electric violin id get something like this: http://www.electricviolinshop.com/cw...=44&category=6.
its going to run you around $1000, but is probably the best buy if your looking for something with a decent sound but a cheaper price tag

He has great taste in Cobain.

My gear.
-Epiphone Les Paul Custom Plus
-Johnson J-Station Pre-Amp
-Marshall AVT150H Head, with a Marshall 4X10 Cabinet
-CryBaby Wah pedal of course
-Shitty/cool '60's era Philips Tonemaster amp which electrocutes the FUCK out of you
-DEATH METAL DISTORTION PEDAL! Lame, but in conjunction with other gear, it can sound pretty rad.

Well okay if we're going to list ALL of our gear....

Epiphone LP Standard (With Duncan pickups, new electronics, parts, etc.)
96 Fender Jaguar (with duncan pickups, new electronics, rewired, etc.)
65 Fende Mustang (duncan hot rails at bridge, new electronics, etc.)
96 Jag-Stang (dont play it much, duncan JB at bridge, rewired, modified, etc.)

Pretty much all of them have Schaller locking tuners or equivalent quality tuners (Fender stock tuners lick donkey nuts)

Art and Luthery (Godin) acoustic/electric with cutaway. nothing special.

Amps (Everything listed here was made by my father for me):
-Fender Super Reverb (built to '65 Fender specs except for more powerful Output Transformer and 6L6 output tubes)
-Fender '75
-Fender Practice Amp (combo) with JBL E-120 Speaker (see below...)

Cabs (everything listed here, too, was made by my father)
-2x12" JBL E-120 (300w ridiculously good speakers)
-1xJBL Compression Driver/Horn (ridiculous amount of highs)
-1x15" JBL E-140 (15" driver, loud, ridiculously efficient and loud)
-1x15" JBL E-140 (no, not a typo, I have two of these in cabs)

Effects (* = in my main FX chain):
*Boss tu-2 tuner
*Dunlop 535Q wah
*Mesa Boogie V-Twin preamp/distortion
*EH Poly Flange
*Boss DD-5 Delay w/ Tap Tempo
*Boss EQ
EH Big Muff (i have something like 4 of these around the house)
EH Small Clone chorus
EH Small Stone phaser
Zoom 505 (first effects box, an absolute piece of shit)
Dunlop Volume pedal (its a ridiculous size, so i rarely use it)
Boss MT-2 (well, I have a mesa boogie preamp now)
probably a bunch more, can't remember....

other guitars I had/sold/traded:
-96 Jag-Stang (a diff one)
-Univox Mosrite Hi-Flyer copy
-Fender Mexican Stratocaster

I think that's about everything...everyone says my basement looks like a guitar shop, I like when they say that :) I constantly get compliments on my rig from techs and gurus at shows/soundchecks, etc. which feels cool and its always fun to talk gear with other gear heads.

True, I was a Cobain nut when I was a kid. The Mustang is fun to play, but not one of my main axes. I got it as a junk pile, and it was an awesome project to refinish it competition blue, hunt down parts for it and make it into a player's guitar. It is one of the rarer models with the 22.5" scale, but it currently has a reissue Mustang's 24" neck on it.

The Jag-Stang (like most stock fenders) is a joke of a guitar off the shelf. But I locked the bridge/tailpice, swapped the pickups, upgraded the tuners and electronics, and its a great guitar now. I rarely play it, too. My last Jag-Stang I sold for $1,600, had maybe half that invested in it.

The Jaguar on the other hand is my absolute baby. Plays like a dream and sounds incredible. Duncan JB at the bridge, Jazz at the neck, infinite number of pickup combinations via the switches, perfect action, perfect neck, excellent balance, great tone, I love everything about it. Locked the tremolo, added Sperzel locking tuners, upgraded the electronics, etc...

I am a huge fan of shorter scale necks, I don't like 25.5" scales like strats, feel too bulky to me.

What do you think of these pedals?

I like smaller necks too, but sometimes those Mustangs just feel like toys. Strat necks are perfect size, for me at least.

Here's my crappy starter, 'Julia' and my 15w Behringer Amp(which I actually dig)

If all goes as planned this one shall be my new baby very soon...

Nashville tele...though I want the 'Deluxe Power' edition

It seems aa lot of you like strats, can you tell me why that is? I personally like the playability of Les Pauls.

I hate strat styling, myself. LP body all the way.

1.) A good strat costs far less then a good LP
2.) My strat has more tonal variety (1 humbucker and 2 single coils)
3.) Strats weigh a lot less
4.) I like strat necks more
5.) Strats are great for blues, rock, funk, jazz, metal, whereas I only see LPs used for rock and metal and occaisonally blues


you get the point.
