A Sign that Im getting old.

[greyskull]

Do keep in mind this is all my own personal taste for my band... but///


a sign that im definatly getting old...
so it started out with me going off Emgs,
Then going off Seymour Duncans,
Then going off my 5150,
then buying an 800. happy again...
then i went off humbuckers; and now im questioning dragging round a half stack to every fucking gig....

Im this close to having this as my setup (dont laugh now)

does thinking that looks like the sex make me an old man in an 18 year olds body? D:

 

[::XeS::]

Yes. You're old!

the ac30 is nice... that guitar is an abortion though, and comes off more like a silly young man trying to be "alterna-kool" than as any sign of "premature maturity",

be a real man, grab a nice LP/SG/Strat and the ac30.

TBH i wasnt sure about it until i played one!

I don't think old ac30's weight much less than a half stack, all the ones I've tried to lift were recto cabinet heavy!

However, for the style you play, I think you have 3 options, 800/plexi, ac30 or orange IMO

I hate the bridge on mustang/jaguars, lots of rattle on the saddles and detuning galore
Seriously, the tele you have is more than enough

It's the same with me, I used to absolutely hate Teles like nothing else, I couldn't imagine myself ever wanting to play clean, a guitar had to be black... and pointy and the quality of a humbucker (I didn't understand why anyone would even consider a singlecoil) was measured in its output-level.

Now I love Teles like nothing else, embrace single-coil sounds and find plain black guitars to be the epitome of boredom.

what..... like this??

the one there/ the ones ive been looking at thave the bridges changed to tuneomatic = Problem solved without fannying around

 

[greyskull]

oh P.s
my band mate just bought a sunburst; so i have to get black.
first black guitar ill have owned in AGES

 

[Sweetnothing]

Hell, your current setup is killer!
Get a JMP instead!

 

[Jind]

Aye - switch the guitar out to a tele or a strat and your golden. I love the sound of an AC30 - can't beat the jangle of a VOX. I don't own a real AC30, but I think my VOX AD50VT does a pretty good job at getting that VOX feel. Now to just get my strat - I'm hoping Santa (a.k.a. my wife is listening) drops one under the Christmas tree.

 

[~BURNY~]

I think you need an SG junior.

 

[greyskull]

why all the jazzmaster hate?

 

[slashvanyoung]

... or a Melody Maker/LP junior. Pure Rawk'n'Roll...

 

[greyskull]

i did look that way; but i got a fender endorsement.. sooooooo

 

[slashvanyoung]

why all the jazzmaster hate?

It's just immediately associated with pseudo-cool, arrogant indie douchebags.

Just go against the grain!

 

[Sweetnothing]

why all the jazzmaster hate?

I like jazzmasters, but they don't have anything better than a tele IMO

Two years ago a had a "vintage gear" period.

Got two Les Pauls and a Classic 30 amp. - Even considered buying the Marshall Vintage Modern. Listened to the Allmans Brothers and Skynyrd.

At the moment my main guitars are 7strings with EMG's and a Marshall JVM.

 

[greyskull]

dont get me wrong, i aint selling the rest of my stuff; just fancy a change; ya know how it is!
