Well, what about you guys?

(You dont have to list current gear)

[La Creme]

1955 Gibson Byrdland
$6000+

That is all.

[TheoristB]

I have a transperent orange SChectre Diamond Series guitar.  A Fender Hot Rod Deville 410 and a boss DD-5 digital delay with a tap temp pedal that i have attached to it.

In the next couple months my amp is changing to a Sunn Model T head and an Orange 2 12 cab.

Im also going to get a wammy pedal and atleast one more delay pedal.  

I like delay... I also like radiohead... way way way to much.

[Octillus]

1955 Gibson Byrdland
$6000+

That is all.

Beautiful. It brings a tear to my eye.

[ayePod]

Right know I play a 89 Silver Series all black Telecaster and a custom acoustic from a local workshop which both suits me down to the ground for what I am doing right now but I would kill for a Gibson Lucille and basically any Martin acoustic because let's face it,I want to show off.

[Mikendher]

I'd like a Taylor 654ce 12 string

[Valrus]

Current guitar: Parker Nitefly

Dream: Parker Fly Mojo. The pwnage level of even the Nitefly prohibits me from wanting anything less.

[Patrick]

Current Gear:

Arbor AP-230 (basically, a very good, surprisingly cheap Les Paul copy)
DigiTech Hot Head distortion pedal
Danelectro Honeytone miniamp (powered by a 9v battery)
(Coming Soon!) Marshall MG100DFX amp combo

Pathetic.



Dream Gear:

'59 Gibson Les Paul equipped with Parsons B-string Bender
'63 Fender Telecaster
'75 Gibson SG
'65 Fender Stratocaster
'69 Fender Jaguar
'68 Gibson EDS-1275
Taylor 12-string acoustic
Yamamoto 6-string acoustic (handmade by a Bay Area [California] luthier)
Brian May's Red Special
Marshall JCM2000 Triple Super Lead amp head
Vox AC30 amp head
(8x) Marshall MF400 amp cabinet

Badass!

[IronOxide]

Christ, I'd be happy if I had the money to get any kind of Bari, but that'd be about $3500 USD for a decent one.

[KharBevNor]

What, my ULTIMATE dream equipment?


- A church pipe organ
- Stradivari's 'Messiah' Violin
- Flying V made of solid diamond
- Ovation Custom Legend 1719
- Roland and Yamahas entire synth back-catalogue
- A genuine 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue' Kazoo
- Everything Rick Wakeman and Dave Gilmour have.
- The BBC Radiophonic Workshop in it's entirety.
- Manowars amps. ALL OF THEM.

[Storm Rider]

- Flying V made of solid diamond

Now, I'm not denying that would be fucking awesome, but think of how heavy that shit would be. Not to mention I'm not really sure what kind of resonance diamond has.

[KharBevNor]

Dude, it's flawless crystal. It would resonate like a wine-glass full of Gods piss.

[McTaggart]

- A church pipe organ

Add in a cathedral somewhere where it's terminally knee deep in frost and you win.

[KharBevNor]

I basically want the one in Therions 'To Mega Therion' Video. I think it's in Stockholm. It's very large and has awesome gargoyles. All I would have to do is totally invert the crap out of it.

[Mikendher]

I think Khar wins this thread.

[slinkyindieninja]

A Fender Rhodes Mark V.

[Patatat]

Pssh, I am surprised I am the only one who has mentioned a wanting of an Orange cab/head.

[HeroX]

i've got a fender american stratocaster hss that i play through a fender hot rod deville 410. pedal wise, boss tu-2, mxr distortion+, and a boss rv-3.

if i got another guitar it'd probably be either a g&l bluesboy or fender telecaster hs. as for another amp, i'd be looking at either something by orange or dr.z.

Look into a late 50's Bassman....

Good for what I am guessing you play by your equipment choice.

[ImRonBurgundy?]

Pssh, I am surprised I am the only one who has mentioned a wanting of an Orange cab/head.

i'm with you on that.  a Fender Deluxe would also be nice.

as would an original Mosrite Ventures model, except i don't think they ever made them left-handed

[Patatat]

Its because america hates South-Paw's.

[thermodynamics]

Well, my dad's a Luthier (builds and fixes instruments) part time, so i got help on a lot of my custom projects.

current gear:
90's Fender mim strat (noiseless pickups, shielded, black/black pg. /maple neck)
1979 Gibson Labseries L9 Amp (#4242)
Custom Fender P/J bass Dark Walnut (white block/white bound maple neck, seymour duncan 1/4 pounder j and p pickups)
Custom Fender P bass (midnight blue/black pg. /rosewood neck, seymour duncan spb-3 pickup)
1985 Squier Japan Jazz bass white/white/rosewood
90's Washburn XB-100 Tobacco Sunburst (first bass... has a bartolini pickup in it and sounds fucking incredible... it's going on ebay soon, though)
Acoustic Control Corporation Model 126 Bass Amp
PA Boards
Acoustics (an ovation, a washburn, an old Barclay and Silvertone)
E-H Big Muff
Digitek RP-200 Modeling Pedal
Crate 15-watt amp (the preamp chip in it makes it sound just like a fucking Marshall when it is cranked)
Yamaha Portasound Keyboard

Want:
Ampeg SVT Tube Bass Head (maybe a V-4) and the SVT-410-HLF cabinet (cause its the biggest that will still fit in my car) 8 10'' speakers is too much. if you're at a venue that needs that much, they'll mike your shit and run it through the PA.

i really want either a Fender Super Six Combo or a Fender Bassman Head and Marshall Vintage Head + 2 Orange 4 12 cabinets. The stereo sounds  would be fucking incredible.

I also want an old Rickenbacker 4001. I like their sound better than the new 4003 models.


damn. typed too much again.

[Patatat]

All those guitars, and a 15 watt amp?

[McTaggart]

90's Washburn...
...
PA Boards

Just skimming the thread, those two stood out and I thought your dream gear was a washboard.

[Kai]

Dude, it's flawless crystal. It would resonate like a wine-glass full of Gods piss.

That is so awesome it hurts.



I have an ESP Something or other (Too lazy to look up the model name at the moment), a fender bass I got for free,  a strat, some acoustic, a mandolin, a fiddle, and some drums.



I want this badass motherfucker:


And yeah, an organ would be badass too.

[Storm Rider]

Have:
Black Gretsch Pro Jet
30 Watt Line 6 Spider II amp

And that's it. I really need to start buying more, but I don't have the time to start playing seriously. Which is why I'm really going to start splurging on effects and so forth once I graduate.

Dream Gear:

Steve Vai's signature Ibanez
John Petrucci's custom MusicMan (Which, I actually can probably afford eventually)
Mesa amps
Dunlop CryBaby wah pedal
I also want a distortion pedal and an overdrive pedal, but I don't know what's the cream of the crop there.

Although the Steve Morse MusicMan is pretty sexy too. 6 coils of pickups, ZOMG.

[Patrick]

I've played Orange amps, and they're nice, but the distortion isn't quite what I'm looking for. Unless, of course, it's a tube amp and I've got the SHIT cranked out of that thing. Nothing sexier than signal distortion through the tubes, yo. :B

[Storm Rider]

Current guitar: Parker Nitefly

How's the whole carbon/glass neck? I for one am all for innovation in guitar design, so I'm curious.

Orange's are tube amps.

They are famous for how sweet their tubes are, and their badass distortion.

yup.  the pillows use Orange amps, and their distortion sounds very nice indeed.

also, about your southpaw comment:

[my infernal affairs]

Real world:
Squier California Strat
Boss DS-1
Digitech Digiverb
Marshall MGCD10 combo amp

Dream world:
Vintage Fender Jaguar
Yamaha SPX-90
Marshall Stacks
.............
............. I give up

I think the solid diamond flying V owns everything!!!
Does it come with diamond studded pants with mammoth hide lining?

[Tartar Martyr]

What I have now

Fender MIA Telecaster
Foxrox Octron
Z.Vex Fuzz Factory
EHX Sovtek Big Muff Pi (the old green one)
Zoom Ultra-Fuzz
EHX Flanger Hoax
Mood Ring Modulator
Dod fx25 envelope filter
Dod fx90 analog delay (primarily used for self-oscillation)
Ibanez DML10 (modulated delay, makes your guitar sound like a melting record player)
Boss DM3 (analog delay, primarily used for short "slapback" type delays)
Boss DD6 (digital delay, used for reverse delay and making short loops)
Fender Musicmaster amplifier

I run all of the pedals in a handful of loops through a home made switch box... running them all at once (even bypassing all of them in the same chain) would sound terrible.  Aside from that, it is necessary to split them up because the fuzz factory does not work well with any sort of pitch shifting or modulation.

What I would like to own

1960's Fender Jazzmaster
Z.Vex ooh wah
Lovetone Big Cheese
Lovetone Meatball
Mu-tron C-200 vol/wah

Another musicmaster (or a pair of silverface 70's era princeton's) would be cool too, openning the door for a stereo set up.  I have always wanted to experiment with that.

Hm... Then how come when I looked inside the one I was playing, I didn't see any tubes, let alone the glow from them? To be fair, it was only a 30w.

[ImRonBurgundy?]

yeah, i think some of their smaller models are either digital or solid state, but the big ones are definitely tube amps.

The "orange crush" series is transistor powered.  You have to lay down the big bucks for the vacuum tube goodness.  All of the amp heads they make are definitely tube driven though.

[HeroX]

ok. i've decided on my dream amp. dr z maz 38 sr. head w/ dr z 2x12 cab. mmmmmmm...

[Patrick]

Mmmm I'm thinking I should get the same combo amp as my mate Lukas (it's a 65w tube-powered Crate, and it sounds fucking AMAZING), and whip out a few Marshall cabinets. ^__^

[negative creep]

Pssh, I am surprised I am the only one who has mentioned a wanting of an Orange cab/head.

i would have mentioned it ....

so i basically want:
- some nice orange amp
- a fender jazzmaster (which i am hopefully going to buy soon).

[HeroX]

assuming you're talking to me, i found the class a tube amps to sounds significantly better then class a/b. that's why i've set my sights on the maz 38. i find my deville (65 watt tube) doesn't break up till it's rediculously loud. with the maz 38 sr. however i can make it break up at a lower volume by messing with the master and volume controls.

[Patrick]

Another, less-controllable but still possible way to do that is use the headphone output jack instead of the PA output. It significantly reduces the output signal volume for headphones (for obvious reasons) and therefore you can crank your tubes and get that warm, meaty distortion without such a deafening volume. Good for small-venue clubs. ^__^
