yeah, that was the problem i had with it, the neck was really thick compared to what i like. both the ibanez that i bought originally and the ESP that i got recently have much thinner and faster necks, the esp especially. the one thing that i liked betterabout the ibanez was that it had a flatter fretboard, which seems to work better for me and the style of music i play.

as for my esp...im not positive but it may be one of a kind. if not...well....for 500 bucks it was a steal because the list price on one of the production models brand new is about 4 grand, so i scored.

I have an Ibanez Ergodyne Model EBD690 with the active elctronic.
I also have a 76 Fender Music Master Short Scale.

Beings everyone else is posting their guitars too.

Here is all of them, the music master is peeking out from behind the 83 Ibanez Roadstar II.

oh!

I want a Conklin
http://www.conklinguitars.com/

those look pretty sweet, those conkins. i actually also have a ibanez roadSTER...not stAr. but its been at my uncles house for a while.

EDIT: by the way...i hate(envy) you for having so many instruments.

I rarerly sell anything... The Roadstar was my second guitar I traded a Fender Squire Bullet for, the Lotus and the Strat were my grandfathers and I got them when he died about 8 years ago.

PTS, I have an Ibanez SA160. It was my first guitar (got it for free from a friend) and it was quite ackward going from that to the Hellcat. My guitar teacher has a Schecter American made custom shop guitar. It is like 10 years old and looks killer. Transparent blue finish and you can see the grain on the wood.

sounds like it looks just like my guitar. which means it is killer.;)

Meh, it has weak tuners, low output, and no floyd rose. I don't really like floyd roses but I would like to have one just for fun and not having to ever tune it. Oh and it is so much lighter than my Hellcat.

well...while you say you want a floyd rose because you would never have to tune it..there is one problem. changing and tuning new strings is a b*tch.

I'm a bassist i have 2 fenders... yeah gotta get a new one..... sighs....

Friend of mine says the same about the Floyd Rose. I haven't been much impressed by it. Seems like is more hassle than it is help.

the trem system is actually great. you can yank and dive as much as you want and it wont go out of tune. really changing the strings is pretty easy...in fact...i find it easier than changing strings on a normal guitar. but you have to tune in a certain way or else it will never go into tune. you have to tune e - e - a - b - d - g. like..from outside to inside, to preven the tension of the lower strings from throwing off the higher strings, and vice versa. its annoying, but once its done the guitar wont go out of tune. they also give the guitar a little bit of added sustain, which is nice.

uhhh...diamond series arnt customizeable....

sTEVE!

Stiletto Custom-4

^click there to be proved otherwise.

THANK YOU...

They can't be customized by the buyer, but Schecter will make specials for certain occasions like the C1 Exotic

Alembic
 

I have always wanted a custom made 'Alembic Bass Guitar', (I wish I could come across the Alembic Bass that Stanley Clark had stolen out of his car in New York City, a long time ago). Ive owned Fender jazzs,4&5 strings, percisions, Gibsons, etc. but 'Alembic', would be my dream Bass.

I own a standard beginner bass but i'm planning on getting either a Rickenbacker or Ibanez bass which is better?

What kind of idiot question is that? That's like asking "Sardines or Caviar, which is better?". It's all a matter of preference and how much you're willing to put into a bass.

The Alembic is really 'old school', and at a very high end cost$ The Rick is an outstanding bass guitar, but also, it can cost from the mid to high end when buying one. You could get a 5-string Ibenez for around 400 to 600$ that will basically stand up with the others. until you can get what you really want for yourself as a bass guitar, thats if you are basically a beginner at playing bass guitar.

Rickenbackers have a really distinctive, clanky sound, which suits some people very well (e.g. Lemmy or Paul McCartney), while Ibanez basses generally sound more hi-fi. So there is the whole apples and oranges thing going here, I would suggest that you do some research on both basses and decide what kind of tone you want to be defined as "yours". But of course there are many factors that affect a player's tone, not just the bass alone, but you can get a fairly good idea.

There is also the HUGE difference in price, Rickenbacker's should set you back at least double what an Ibanez would...

Thanks i'll look it all up.

It's nearly the same, but I really like the casino model. xD

Why do so many people "I have a fender". You may as well say I have an instrument with strings... Be more specific.

Nah, a woman of you're class would be worthy of one of these.

My main axe is my Fender Telecaster in 3-tone burst. Its a japanese made tele from 2006, which I have modified in a few ways. I made room for a humbucker, where there currently stands a Gibson Burstbucker #2. In the bridge I put a Lollar Alnico 3, which is a very bright and punchy mic. Other upgrades such as new tuners and bridge saddles are also in place. I love this thing!

My second axe is a Gibson Les Paul Standard from the mid 2000s. Its completely stock, and plays like a LP should and would. This is a so called honeyburst.

My third electric is a boring squier strat. Cheap pickups from guitarfetish.com, sperzel tuners and a relicjob done by yours truly. Plays fine, and the neck is quite nice, but I suppose noone but me would be interested in this.. :)

Finally I own an acoustic guitar, a Yamaha.. something. Its a piece of crap, and thats all there is to say :)

I'll upload some pictures when I'm allowed on the forum :)

Cheers!

edit: That 'Bird in the prev. post is just gorgeous. I want that!

I'd do just about anything for one.

Ive had a soft spot for Classic White Fender Strats ever since I first saw Waynes World, tbh.

I seem to be into beat up old guitars, so the Road Worn series Fender released is perfect, just that it seems to fake.

For basses I have a Gibson Grabber, Ibanez Black Eagle, Yamaha SG/EB Copy, and an out of commission Schafer Rickenbacker Copy and Peavey Milestone III. For guitars I have a Danelectro 56-U2 and a Yamaha Acoustic.

Here's some old, poorly size/taken pictures.

Although I feel I have a few too many (though some need work) I feel sometime in the future I'll pick up either a Gibson Ripper, G3, Ovation Magnum or Peavey T-40.

Um ^ That would be more than enough. At least for me.

Yeah, only two of the basses really are in working order, which is fine. I'll probably sell a couple of the others when they're playable.

You own alot of junkers, and I remember your pedal board being mostly comprised of dan electro pedals. Props on the dan electro guitar though, that thing's a beast.

what's that black one with the curly horns? closest i've ever seen to something like that is weird European gear from the 70s.

Awesome gear man! The grabber is badass. I need to get myself a Rick at some stage, love the look and tone.

I own just a simple 6 string acoustic guitar that I bought off ebay. It was $100 bucks, and it's some Huntington brand. It's a decent, solid guitar, sounds good enough for now. Eventually, now that I'm a lot better at playing it, I am going to save up to buy myself a really decent acoustic. I also have the body for a 12 string acoustic that I wanna fix up. Needs some body repair, new strings and pegs. Everything else is pristine on it. Picked it up for 10 bucks at a garage sale. Just waiting till I have enough funds to get around to fixing it up. Also wanted to finish learning six string as well =P


I'd post some pics, but can't until I get a few more posts, so I'll come back here and post them when I do

You're probably thinking of someone else. I don't currently nor have I ever owned a Danelectro pedal. :laughing:

The black bass is a 70's Ibanez Black Eagle.

Here's a picture of one with the pickguard it comes with,
http://www.break-even.org/ibanez/ima.../laLm2609b.jpg

Thank you. Mine's not a real Rick but I definitely agree about the look and tone. I'd love to have one some day.

NICE that's a pretty swanky bass. is it part of the lawsuit-era Ibanez gear? meaning it's just as awesome (if not even better) than the Fender J-Bass it obviously borrows from?

i plan on purchasing a fender bronco bass. it's like a mini-bass. and i'm a'rock it.

Indeed it is. The lawsuit era was great, they made some really cool instruments, so quirky. I would love to have one of those old Ric copies. Supposedly they were one of the better copies being made, along with the Univoxes. My black eagle may look a little beat up but too me, it sounds, feels and looks better than a lot of Fenders that would cost much more. I was considering stripping the paint off it and just making it a bald eagle but I'm not sure.
