  1. ouch, luckily for me, im a student, so my loans pay for everything haha!

    i love them, really sturdy things, despite looking like toys. the lipstick pickups are great, as close to the old ones as you could get without them actually being the old ones! the only problem i had was the terrible factory set up, but thats easy sorted! and considering i paid 169 for the guitar and 189 for the baritone they are a definate bargain!

  2. yeah thats why i wouldn't be wanting another big aine :p just so god damn awkward

    could you get the measurements for me, the guitar im planning on putting it is sort of like a jaguar, so its a bit longer than a strat but no wider

    cheers

  3. anyone got any working noise gates?

    preferably boss NS-2s

    condition is not important, as long as they still work

    will also consider removing any MXR smart gates from you if you dont want them :)

    thanks a bunch guys!

  4. i've tried load of power supplies and i've got a nice quiet one, also a 2.99 job haha.

    so with the NS-2 i can run it in line with my distortion pedals and stick my chorus and delays and such in the loop? that sounds pretty handy!

    im considering getting more overdrive/distortion pedals so i can do that

    cheers for the help

  5. i've been fiddling with pedal order and what not trying to get a good sound, i've got it sussed now, but noise is a fair problem!

    at the moment im going

    guitar > original crybaby > MXR jimi hendrix octave fuzz > marshall jackhammer > amp

    FX send > Boss CE5 > Boss DD2 > wholenote DL-8 > Danelectro flange > EHX Small stone > FX return

    i've been told running the pedals in the FX loop off a different power supply will help, but my main problem is when having the jackhammer on, i dont have the gain past mid way, but its still making a god awful noise.

    and i use the octave fuzz with the fuzz right down because it sounds better just in line with the distortion, however this adds too the noise, despite there being no extra fuzz or gain on it.

    and! the 2nd overdrive on my amp, marshall AVT150H, with the gain at 3 hums horribly aswell!

    any ideas? noise gate my best bet?
