  1. Behringer Nr100, Behringer vintage tube monster (tube replaced with Sovtek 12AX7) and Behringer v amp2 with pedal/footswitch/case. Or I have an Aria Pro II RS Wildcat guitar lying around I'm looking to get rid of.

  2. I've been eating Frosties and Coco Pops for 30 years, I'm bored of them. THIRTY YEARS. BORED OF THEM.

     

    Also Coco Pops ain't all that. And it bothers me that they keep bringing out wank variations of them. Choc & Roll? Coco Rocks? Croc Prints? You can stick them all up your collective hoops. And there's something shifty about that monkey. 

     

    Give me a nice bowl of Golden Grahams or some Shreddies any day.

    Cinnamon Grahams are the best cereal ever. They should be known only by that name. It's a shame they now sound like a dodgy romance novel for post-menopausal women. (Curiously Cinnamon)

     

    Krave are also ace for sugary, chocolatey goodness.

     

    As for chocolate bars available in Poland, they have a mint chip cadbury dairy milk which is amazing. Not available in the UK :( Will need to get one when I head back there in a couple of months. The other confusing thing is Magners/Bulmers. Long neck bulmers is the standard drink in Poland but over here Magners is the equivalent and Bulmers tastes nothing like it does over there.

    Come on people, buy my stuff so I can downsize to my dream system!

    Are you secretly called Nolly? That's basically his exact setup. Add a shiny scratchplate and it would fit right in with his other combustions

     

    I played a Music Man Stingray 5 string the other day. Really like it. Scale was a bit too long for my tiny hands though :(

  4. Got a new guitar yesterday. Red flame maple topped Ibanez RG7321. Now just need to get some better tuners and pickups. Would normally try to stick to Prestiges like my other two but sadly the only fixed bridge prestige 7's are black and I'd want something a bit more interesting. Plus the old 7421/7621's are somewhat hard to come by in good condition these days so attract a bit of a premium for selling on.

  5. I made a speculative bid on a guitar on ebay and ended up winning it. Can barely afford to pay for it. Still it was a decent price and I'm told it's basically mint. I'm picking it up on Saturday from Inverness. Will put up proper pics when I have time, but it's one of these.

  6. For when I want to get my doom on... Sunn Model T preamp circuit in a pedal.

    With my now epic collection of preamps either need to sell up and get the Stonehead or Ironheart studio.... or get this. 50W power amp can accept vacuum tubes or solid state tube clones AMT are releasing. 2 channels you can run independently or mix. And it looks like a cute little toaster. I really want to see the price for this!

  7. Up for trades/sale. I don't like trem equipped guitars and this is the last one for the chopping block. Has piezo for acoustic like sounds, 2 output jacks. It's in pretty good condition (other than pickup pole pieces which are a bit rusty) with only a few small chips.

    More images here which show the chips -> http://imgur.com/a/yh5QT

     

    More info on the guitar here -> http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/RG1620X

     

    Comes with Ibanez M100C hardcase. Trades wise I'll listen to any offers of gear but I'm picky with guitars. Must be fixed bridge!

     

     

     

  8. Colbs advice is good but failing that regarding cables and noise gates, neither are cheap options and it may take a bit of experimenting to find the cause.

    I will say that I don't like OD gain very much and that could be a cause if you have the gain maxed as they tend to be fizzy and create unwanted sounds when the dial goes to a certain level. Any hum from that and your pedals will just be amplified by your amp. Hence why you want the quietest tone possible going into the amp.

    I'd suggest if you can having a channel for higher gain stuff and relying less in pedals to get higher gain. That should be quieter than using the OD pedal as you are currently.

    Do you have a particular sound in mind? I'm a massive fan of AMT pedals/preamps and they may do something that could be better for your needs. They are not cheap pedals but they sound great.

  9. Overdrives make a lot of noise. Especially if you are using it as a boost (I set mine gain 0,tone 4,,volume 10). Likewise a compressor will be noisy and having cheap cables also adds to noise. Ditto power supplies. Ideally you want good quality patch leads and follow all the advice about power supplies and reducing hum.

    I use a very small pedal board and i still find the noise from an OD to be annoying so I use an ISP decimator before my amp. Best noise gate available IMO. Sucks the least tone and gets rid of hum nicely.

  10. Metal guitars don't really sell well on this site. They are both insane prices and I'd absolutely bite your hand off for the Jim Root guitar if I had the cash, but I don't :( I'd probably get rid of the EMG's though! I'd maybe consider a swap for my Ibanez RG1620X but seems like you are more after cash!

     

    Stick the ESP on ebay. You should get way more than that for it on ebay. Or even other metal guitar orientated sites (ie ss.org, metalguitarist etc). They usually have posting rules though so if you aren't already an active user that is an issue....
