Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!
No cup holder?
Nice score, DJ...gonna change the pickups? Big-Block the Jackson Floyd?
Wow! Fucking sweet axe! Way to go! If I had been in your shoes, I woulda jumped on it as well! The EMGs alone are worth 2/3 of what the entire guitar set you back. Reverse headstock too! Bet that fucker plays great! Does it sound ok?

Thanks, bro. Haven't had any time to really evaluate the pup's yet. Big block? not sure yet. I was mainly looking at this guitar to use for a couple of tune we have that need a drop b. Still figuring how this one will serve me best....Originally Posted by jhale667

Thanks. Yeah, it played very fast and it keeps good tuning. Might end up Ebay'ing the EMG's and do some shopping for new replacements.
Cheers!
Just finished sanding the finish off the back of the neck. Gonna apply a few rubs of gun stock oil (grate shit!) into it and she's good ta go...
Yeah man, That Beechwood Casey stuff feels great under yer thumb.
Gunstock oil is basically linseed oil. You can't go wrong with it. It makes a nice no nonsense finish and protects the wood well. A friend of mine bought an old log building built in the 1920's and all those old places were finished with 50/50 kerosene and linseed oil. It's called log oil and he sandblasted the whole place and refinished it and only had to replace three logs due to rot. Linseed oil is amazing stuff just make sure to store the rags you use with it in a fireproof container because linseed oil soaked rags will just combust and burn by themselves.
Groovy man.
FAWWWK! The shit is amazing. A few drops goes a long way. Gave it 2 shots of oil and it feels fucking amazing...
Grabbed a used Rocktron Intellifex- LTD for 100 bux today at Long and McQuade (our local chain store).
Punted the Alessis Quadraverb.
The effects are crystal clear and the unit itself doesn't colour my tone. I love the "ducking" delay feature. No glitching between channels when switching. The delays carry over smoothly...

I still have my Intelliflex online version......bad to the bone
Totally badass!
SANSAMP PSA1 !
Looks like someone's serious about tone !
Yes Sir!
Greatest pre amp I've ever known. I haven't heard a preamp in a multi effects processor that I've liked.
I prefer to have dedicated processing. Let the pre amp be a pre amp and let the effects processor be an effects processor.
You can get and store over 70 presets with different amp sounds, all in analog. I love the sound of those things.
What's your strategy for maintaining the analog distorted guitar tone when doing recording in digital? Once you're used to a tone like that, it becomes unacceptable to have recordings where the tone's compromised.
I essentially work within a bank of 10 of my tailored tones. I like the fact that the modelling is done in analog. For recording I've been going direct into a/d converter (Presonus Firestudio) and have been using Recabinet ™ in post. But lately I've returned to using mic's for recording.
I find if the mic's are placed properly and blended well I don't lose any of my tone. Many of the factors of interpreting my tone rely on the correct applications of eq'ing and compression in post (recording). I know that if my raw tracks sound good on their own, the rest is gravy. The key is to interpret the tone in post with the original in mind.
I use a Tech 21 PSA 1.1 . My number display on it broke. I can still make out the channels but I'm going to have to send it back to Tech 21 to get it fixed. I think you can nail every amp sound under the sun with it. I've used it for bass, keyboards, guitar, and even vocals. I can see why it's a popular piece of studio gear.
Some of that old rack shit was built like a tank made by great companies in the good ol' USA. They put stuff in more heavy duty boxes and used the best components available. You are damn right it's a bargain.
I have amps but I used my rack most the time for gigs. It's just more convenient. I have a 1000 watt power amp in it and only use one channel unless I'm running a huge amount of bass speakers. I can't tell you how many times having that extra channel has been nice when someone else's amp went down.
Our guitar player had his output transformer go on him and we just pulled the power tubes and ran the preamp into one side of my power amp into a Marshall 4x12 and it sounded great actually.
