1984 Hamer Steve Stevens
mid-90's Hamer Diablo
Ibanez Talman
pawnshop J bass (clone)
currently ampless...
Alesis Wedge
DigiTech RP-5
but then there's also...
Roland S-50 sampler
Roland SH-101 synth (old school analog)
Yamaha FB-01
Alesis D4
Alesis MMT-8
Mackie 1202-VLZ
Alesis RA-100
Alesis Monitor Ones
Cakewalk Professional and Sonar
Native Instruments B4 and FM7 software synths
and i can't play any of it worth a damn...
Writing In All Proper Case Takes Extra Time, Is Confusing To Read, And Is Completely Pointless.
Hamer Steve Stevens model eh? Is that the one that had the toy ray guy guts built in?
64 Fender Duo Sonic
98 Fender Jimmie Vaughan Tex Mex Strat
02 Agile Ovation copy
Only amp I have right now is a 65 watt Crate practice amp... I sold my 64 Fender Bassman back to it's original owner after 20 years of good use. My old buddy/bass player sold it to me in 83... he got divorced 3 times and decided he wanted his ole sweetheart back... how could I refuse.
"If you want to be a monk... you gotta cook a lot of rice...”
his may have. regular models didn't. i think the raygun was mostly a Lexicon box, maybe an Eventide, but now he uses a toy gun and holds it up to the pickup. i've seen a cool SS1 in screamin' yellow that had LED's in the fingerboard.Originally posted by Brownsound1

I recently bought a brand new les paul copy and the fucking thing will not stay in tune worth a fuck.
If you tune to an open chord then barre chords are out of tune and vice versa.
Any ideas?

Sitting on a park bench!
i'd take it back and tell 'em you want it setup. who knows how many snot-nosed kids beat on it before you bought it.
It holds it`s tuning better when you detune to Eb.
Still not perfect, though.
Maybe I`ll try restringing it.
i dunno. if you bought a car or a computer or something else and it didn't work right, would you sit there and fuck with it? probably not. if it's brand new, i expect it to work right outta the box. if it doesn't, back it goes.

That sounds like the intonation/neck is out. A $45 setup at your local guitar shop should fix it. Otherwise you will need a new neck. What brand is it ?
Matchbook cover, cut to fit between both pairs of screws the full length of the neck slot & coated both sides in Elmer's White Glue. Tighten screws allow dry overnite. Guarantee to rigid them shitty laminated bodies to the neck, unless you got VibratoNECK™ - in which case, enjoy the wonders of a neck made of the finest mahogany the Phillipines Cratebox and Pallet industry is known for.Originally posted by Mr Badguy

Heres my stuff.
All I can see is the beer...
Is that a Peavey Bandit Phoenix ?
Sorry Mr BG, I dont think Ive seen this brand before. I hope its just a setup you need. Some guys on here do the setups themselves, I know that Elvis is a setup legend.Originally posted by Mr Badguy

Don't bother with the strings...Take this thing back! two is right. If you just got it, let the manufacturer deal with it. You never know...getting a setup MAY void your warranty, so just get your money back. Epiphone Les Pauls are usually quite reliable and inexpensive.
Yeah I agree, if its under warranty ! Take it back.
Hey SactoFan, do you own an Epiphone Les Paul ? If yes, how do you find it compared to the real deal. I dont know if I was imagining it or not, but they seem lighter than the "real"
ones, (Which I quite like) I would be interested to know how they compare in tone. Ive seen some very cheap here in Oz, and being manufactured by Gibson, its quite tempting to buy one.
I don't own one, but I have friends who do. I have played several Epi LP's and they appear to be very consistent in quality. They are pretty solid instruments, and for the money, look to be a wise guitar purchase...Originally posted by Panamark

Grimes has an Epi Les Paul. i've noodled around on it, it's not too bad. that Epi is heavy though.
Encore is (normally) quite a relaible brand here in the UK.
They make cheaper guitars for one of the bigger companies, I can`t remember who, much like Squire make for Fender etc.
I think I will take it back.
My gear consists of:
2 home made guitars
1 '95 american strat
1 '93 LP Studio lite
1 2003 Epiphone Dot

Phoenix, I used to have the same AMP ! Peavey Bandit 65 I think ? I loved it, but after I tried Marshalls it was never the same.
Its actually a Bandit 110.Originally posted by Panamark

I was going to buy a Marshall this Christmas but my Bonus was rather small.
Sounds like you need a cousin like that "Ed" from National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. Go and fetch the Boss, Hog tie him and tell him to stick his bonus up his ass ! Whats Christmas time if you cant have a Marshall !!!!

I dunno if i want a Marshall now or a new Effects Processor.:confused:
If you don't have a drummer: take the effects processor.
I'm looking for a new amp as well. While I'm not usually to hip on newer Marshalls, a friend of mine has a Triple Super Lead (100 watter) that I was taken back by when I heard it. I might have to mosey down to the store and buy one of those bitches.
Don't Waste your cash on one of those piece of shit amps......get a Mesa Boogie instead.Originally posted by Brownsound1
