Well I just got me a Silvertone 10W amp and guitar to get back into it ,it sound good enough for me to learn on if I get big into it I might get me something better name later but I am not one to buy name brands just cause that's what everyone else has.

I'd be jealous, but its humbuckers rather than singles. I mean wtf dave?

mr dave · 09-22-2010, 05:21 PM

hehehe it's all good. i quite like the humbuckers. besides it's the only decent Jaguar model that has a stop tail rather than the wonky floating plate bridge thing all the others have. if you hadn't already noticed i tend to prefer things that are just a little off from what they're 'supposed' to be hehe

I've had many guitars over the years, my main electric axe is a Warmoth chambered swamp ash tele with a Lindy Fralin 'unbucker' in the neck and an overwound bridge pickup. I got the Warmoth because of their fantastic necks, mine is the fattest one they make (I have big hands). My acoustic is made by Gord Barry, a great luthier, it's his take on a Martin M-style. I also have a Kubicki bass. I used to have a Martin D-28 and a Weber mandolin but had to sell them for cash flow reasons, ya know how it is...

I am buying a Barrington soprano saxophone, which is Chinese made and really cheap. I have been playing a Vito tenor saxophone for the past 9 years, with a C* classical mouthpiece. Its a fun setup.

I have a question for any guitar experimentors or scholars out there..have you ever heard of using all humbucker type coils on a strat as opposed to the single?? Or can you even do that?

yeah, the guy from the Spin Doctors had a custom 3 humbucker strat back in the early 90s pretty sure he mentioned needing to do a little routing to make them all fit though. i hate myself for remembering that band now. apologies to older members reading this.

i'm sorry but this is just sad. you either have an ESP EX guitar or you have an LTD EX-### (numbers indicating overall quality) from the ESP site it's either a 50, 360 or 401. anything under 400 is made in Indonesia and anything above 400 is made in Korea all LTDs are made with lower grade materials and hardware as compared to their ESPs counterparts(made in Japan).

with an LTD under 400 you're basically putting the equivalent of a really nice beginner guitar over a freaking Gibson and a custom one at that...

or are you calling an Epiphone a Gibson because they're both sold as 'Les Pauls'?

i mix humbuckers with single coil - i have an Ibanez RG-7

i used to have two single-coils but it sounds too squealy and I hate that microphoney hum/feedback

i use a British Metal Master distortion pedal with the bass all the way up through a cheap china-made Epiphone amp with full overdrive and it sounds a bit like a Big Muff

I also have a DOD wah-wah, not exactly a Dunlop but its shorter range makes it easier for me to make regular wahs to the beat for those 70s sounding funk

i also use a slide i cut from a clothes-hanging stand (it's an aluminium tube)

I use a coral reef pick i fashioned myself - it just sounds very harsh on the attack
