Well , I thought I'd show you all my stuff. It's not greatly interesting gear but it serves it's purpose for an average classic rock / blues player that I am.
Now I must apologise for the pics , my camera's fucked so phone pics unfortunatly.
First off.........
'03 USA strat in chrome red.
This is the oldest instrument I own now. It has been used and abused and fucked about with over the years but it's now largely standard apart from the chrome scratchplate . It's the main workhorse.
'06 Epi LP custom
This is the other workhorse . This one's also been changed a bit , I had some high output no name zebras in it until recently but I found them too harsh so I replaced them with a Duncan SH-5 and the origional epi neck pup (with cover removed , and all the fucking wax) which I like the tone of.
It's also going yellow....yeeess.
The Sunday toy.....'07 YJM strat.
This one had a lot of setup issues and because of that It wasn't nice to play.... to the point that I was going to sell it . Now I was assured that it had been pro set up out of the shop , well it wasn't , it was shit... so I had it set up by a local tech and then it showed its true colours ....FANTASTIC!!!! It did take a sliver of maple in the neck pocket and the nut had to be re-cut but it's great now.I'm still a bit disapointed with fender for this....it was £1200 for fucks sake.
I love the scalloped neck but the thing I really had to get used to was the pups , very low output but again I love 'em now.
Effects
I've only got this now .... Digitech GNX4.
I don't do much band wise these days and that was one of the reasons I got this. I wanted to do more recording and I liked it 'cos it's got loads of lights and buttons It's got everything on it and works fine live....and fuck it , it's a multi effects and thats about all I can say about that.
Finally....
1997 Marshall vs100 valvestate and 4x10 cab.
I bought this as I do live stuff on my own and with various "bands" from time to time , but not all of the time.... and that's why I got it , cheap power ... no more no less , It's ok and with all the amp modelling I have on the GNX you can get a half decent tone.
It's got red tolex too!!!
The cab is 4x10 celestion 75's from 1991.
So there it is , not great gear but it is what it is.
