Doombilly where did all these sick shots of the band come from?

doombilly · « **Reply #854 on:** 17 Nov 2009, 05:43 »

Those were in St Louis Mo, at a club called Fubar. We ended up playing in the lounge because 3 or 4 local acts cancelled. Fortunately Illicitizen travels with a complete PA so we actually had the same sound we practice w/. Also the photos were by a pro we hired for this gig (Peter Wochniak).

You had better have played 'Legs'.

haha, no. No we did not. Ms Doombilly has that covered though. I admit.

I KNEW that place looked familiar. I caught my brother's band playing there a while back. Also, I'm digging that finish on your Nitefly. Mine's just the barely-transparent red.

Oh wow. Is your's a mojo? The pics peter took make it look really good. And it is. But I regret I used to use a heavier pick as I've scratched the face pretty badly. No matter I would never sell that gtr anyway.

It saddens me to see instruments rot in museums, or display cases, or something. They are meant to be PLAYED dammit. I dream of an organization that collects guitars of rockers past and lends them out to the most worthy musician...

Babbling aside, I've been thinking of getting a Gretsch Electromatic Double Jet and replacing the pickups with Seymour Duncan DeArmond Dyna-Sonics. Basically I want the best Gretsch sound I can get at a third of the price.

How are Classic Player Jaguars compared to the '63 reissues?

doombilly · « **Reply #867 on:** 21 Nov 2009, 05:39 »

Yeah. How are they? Contemplating buying a new backup rather than modding out the tele as previously planned. I agree with Jeph and my wife, might not be worth the effort. Anyway, looking for a good HH guitar in the $800 range. Thoughts?

Ballard · « **Reply #868 on:** 21 Nov 2009, 07:40 »

Fuck HH Jaguars.

Unless you're Kevin Shields, get an SG.

A new Peavey EXP signature series can be picked up for well under that. Seriously... I have guitars that cost three times as much that aren't nearly as well put together. Mahogany body, set neck with almost no heel, a full two octaves. Really a very nice guitar. Caveat: Some people hate quilt tops (I don't) and it's a chunky--though very fast-- neck.

There's also a variety of PRS SEs out there for about $700. Though I don't think it's quite as nice as the Peavey, (huge heel, the nut on mine wasn't well dressed on the high E side) it's still a very nice guitar for the price, and I like the pickups a little more. Plus 25" scale is fun.

Radical AC · « **Reply #871 on:** 21 Nov 2009, 20:05 »

I've never liked Peavy guitars all that much. They use active pickups in many of their lines and bleh...

For ~$800 I always thought this was tits on ice cream. Reso-glass top, and a peizo pickup.

I'm pretty sure I'm ordering one of these in the next couple of days. I played one the guitar shop by my house that was cheaper than buying direct from Eastwood, but I didn't care much for the color.
Anyone have any experience with Eastwood's stuff?

Before you dismiss Peavey guitars altogether, try playing a t-60. Heavy as a boat anchor and built like a missile bunker, but it plays so beautifully. I found one in my friend's basement that belonged to his dad (who hadn't touched it in 10 years) and I think he had to pry the guitar out of my hands after I got ahold of it.

I want the next guitar I get to be a 7-string. I like the idea of the extended range, being able to basically play in B or standard tuning without retuning.

Patrick · « **Reply #882 on:** 25 Nov 2009, 05:06 »

Personally, I just want my damn Squier back so I can get her a new hum-cancelled bridge pickup, solder it into place, and tune it to drop C. I only want to do this so I can play "The Background" by Third Eye Blind without fucking with my other guitars' tunings. That and a little metal from time to time wouldn't kill me. It'd help my chops, at least...

My exact opinion of 6-string basses. 5-string I can understand because it's basically the same as an extension on upright bass plus an extra semitone.
