for the guitarists/bassists out there, i wanna see what the other cats on here are playing with. so post yo rigs, damn it 
Myself: Guitars: Fender Jaguar (Rotosound strings, Mustang saddles in bridge, Black pickguard and chrome pickup covers coming soon) Westfield E1000 (shitty stratocaster clone. i use it for twisted electronics experiments and all that jazz) Effects (in order of signal) CryBaby Wah Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive Pro Co RAT (best Drive ever) Marshall Regenerator (Coming soon) Boss DD-6 Delay Amp Fender Blues Jr. Got a mile to go just now, but what the hell.

AMPS!
I just got a Marshall JTM45 and an Avatar 2x12 (RED ladies, yes yes, step back, give me room). And then there's my beat-to-hell Peavey Classic 50 410. Love that thing. GITS US Fender Strat and Tele, Ibanez Artcore semi-hollowbody, my old trusty warmoth strat, a ukelele and some other odds and ends. Effs Line6 XTLive with a cheapo danelectro compressor in front for mo' boost. But the best tool I have in my rig are these awesome hands. Seriously, I don't think you can get them online anymore. And to be honest, they're cheap knockoffs of the SRV model. www.beaurocks.com Trees are made of WOOD! |

About three years I gave up on the mid-priced crap and decided if I wanted to be taken seriously as a guitarist in this town, I might as well stop trading out disposable guitars every year and just bite the bullet and get the REAL stuff. And then this year, I decided the same thing about amps. I love my Peavey Classic 50 - loved it for years, but finally decided to bust one out and get a Marshall since that's what I'm trying to go for. (The Classic 50 is based off of the Bassman design, and hey hey guess what so is the JTM45). I hate guitar snobs with their expensive boutique amps and $300 pedals and $3000 Les Pauls, but, there IS something to be said about a guitar that makes it easy to play, and an amp that can catch the feedback at very low levels. Oh - btw - "low levels" is "bowel shaking volumes". Go over 2 on the Marshall, blood shoots out of your ears. It's a fact. Time for a master volume or an attenuator or an enclosure or something to manage that mess. [Edited 7/20/07 9:10am] www.beaurocks.com Trees are made of WOOD! |

THe difference in volume between 1.5 and 2 is absurd, and just getting it to a tolerable volume at 1.5 requires steady finger.  | |

The Guitar is a Martin 000CXE Auditorium. Pedals: Guitar side: Boss Flanger (BF2), Pedal Power (power supply), Rat distortion, Boss tuner(TU2), Boss delay (DD6), Line 6 (DL4 - for looping), Boss octave Vocal side: Line 6 (DL4 - for looping), Boss EQ (GE7), Pedal Power (power supply) My rock setup: 
The guitar is an Epiphone DOT Studio WC and behind me is a Line 6 Duoverb with the floorboard. I only use a Rat distortion. | |

As I post I'm noodeling with: A Peavey Predator Plus EXP. One of their more recent import series. They retail for around $225. I paid 70 bucks for mine from a dealer on eBay about 2 years ago. Mint condition! It was only missing the vibrato bar & the bridge was shifted off one of the pivot points. This was very easily remedied by detuning the guitar & moving the bridge into place. I was able to order a replacement bar from Peavey. I was very pleasantly suprised with the build quality & tone of this guitar. It didn't prove to be kid proof. LOL! One of mine knocked it over & put a chip in the finish! Into a: Line 6 Spider II 15. They're going for around 80 bucks now since the Spider III series came out. Best sounding practice amp I've ever had. Good sound for very little dough. For me this set up is nice portable alternative to my usual Preamp + Poweramp + speakers combo. [Edited 7/27/07 9:32am] |
