Scott!

David has one, I've played around with it a little. It's loads of fun for screeching, weirdness &c but sometimes a little tricky to ger "under control" for more conventional tones. It's a pretty cool pedal nevertheless.

Oooh, shame you got in there first. I guess it's payback for the Telecaster... S

Not WAV, no, they have to be a special CD audio format which, as far as I know, is the only other format that'd work on any but the most bizarre CD players. What does "glass mastered" mean?

Thanks for all the help, everybody! Still leaning towards an EQ but I hadn't considered the Fish & Chips as an option, I'll check it out next time I'm at the shops.

Right, thanks for all the ideas! I'm not really hugely attracted by the Tubescreamer as I'd prefer a cleaner boost, & not really terribly keen on pickups either as it's kind of a project/junker (as much as I hate to say it!) guitar & I don't want to dump tons of money into it. The equaliser's looking like a good choice right now but, as Ikaruga said, HarmonyCentral consensus says it's supposed to be insanely noisy, which I'm not really terribly enthusiastic about.

Interesting... sadly no space on the control for wiring.

Holy crap that looks awesome. How *do* you get so much cool stuff, Ikaruga? This, the G&Ls, it's starting to bother me! If only I were made of money...

I've been playing around with my Telecaster lately, and I've been slightly irritated by the fairly low output pickups- it doesn't sound great when driving the amp and that sort of thing. I'm looking at a pedal to do something about that, and was thinking about a Boss GE7- it has some gain boost, but that isn't its primary function. Would a graphic EQ be the way to go on this or should I get something like a Micro Amp? I'm partial towards the equaliser because I need some mid boost as well, but if it wouldn't really help towards boosting the signal, I'd consider something else... Thanks in advance! Scott

There's one at R & B, unsure of price though

It's going to get new tuners and a refret, eventually, and then I'll start using it on a really regular basis

True. I've played lots of same-model classical guitars that do sound totally different... if you play a nice example of a certain model, there is really no guarantee it'll sound as good

The idea is to produce a longer scale length on the bass strings for better tension/playability and keep a more standard scale length (25" ish) on the higher strings, so the bass strings aren't floppy and the treble strings aren't too tense.

For the same price, yes, there are better than Yamaha about. If you ever see a Raimundo around, grab- I've had two (using one right now) and known several people who've also had them and they're top notch for the price.

Fender Stratocaster -> Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Ah, the joys of student poverty. I've also got Raimundo and La Patrie classical guitars, the second of which I'm selling.

I meant this one...

oddly, this one has a truss rod, but it's still a really really bad idea.

Holy shit that LGM 8-string has tons of frets. That looks like a whole other octave on that sucker!

Yes it is nylon-strung, as per the definition of classical guitar. (There are many other differences also, which I can elaborate if you so desire.) On your question of price, everything's cheaper in Canada (my current classical guitar which I purchased for about 400 equivalent new costs about 800 in the UK), but it cost me about 200. I've played some classicals at the shops around town worth more than that however and they can't hold a candle to this one. It's probably not a great choice for soloing though, body join's at the 12th fret and thus anything beyound about a G on the first string is pretty much unreachable.

Hmm, since there were no takers last time and my post's dropped of the forum, back again for sale is my 1998 La Patrie Collection classical guitar. It's in good shape aside from a little bit of repair work that has been done on the back. It's handmade in Quebec by the same company who makes Seagull acoustics. I bought it in Canada and haven't seen any La Patries here, but they're well-regarded in their home country. I will string it with a brand new set of D'Addario Pro Arte standard tension strings upon purchase. Tentative price is 120, but reasonable offers will be considered. Anybody interested? I have pictures and can supply them if you PM me. Cheers, Scott

mmm, sexy. Next time I go to Prosound if they still have one I'll give it a try.
