Diesel Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 At the end of the year i got my ass a Sovtek Mig100, talk about true power, holy no ears left.I bid for one of those on eBay, went for a pish, made a cup of tea, then the phone rang - my sister - couldn't get the bastard to shut up and by the time I got back to my PC, it had been sold - and for less than I would have bid for it.My reaction was unprintable - even on this site.

unbroken Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Just got myself this - Musicman SUB SterlingTook me a while to get my hands on, as they were discontinued last year, but definately worth it. Sounds and feels awesome, and looks pretty cool too...Davidi dont like the sub series that much, i was thinking about getting one as a back up for my stingray 5. But they don't match the tone or the feel of the real thing, you should consider getting a sterling or a stingray...They are beast, wouldn't change it for the world...x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 (As posted in the squire thread) I finally got this in december after ordering it to be custom made last february... sounds best through a Diezel. BLACKMACHINE: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoonie Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 I coulda sold you a cab man Maxi that bass looks fucking nice.you and your stockpile!!mine came as a set to doa friends brother a favour. haven't played through it yet so if it's shite it'll get sold at a profit /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan G Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 dan, your black machine is a serious piece of kit!!! love the headstock, was that your design or the builders???That is the standard blackmachine headstock, everyone has the same one! I got to choose the woods, finish, binding, pickups, hardware, custom flame at the 12th fret and number of strings(!) though how does it play, dan? it looks beastly! /xBeautiful man! I was worried for some reason that I'd get it and be disappointed, but it is just insane. The tone is awesome, and it plays so, so well. I honestly couldn't be happier with it, even if it bought a winning national lottery ticket whilst whacking me off to the james bond theme tune.Dan - the Black Machine looks fantastic! What tonewoods did you use? All Mahogany?My Hanneman arrived today! I'll post iup pictures tomorrow i can't remember embarassingly enough! I basically said, "uh...give me the best!" whatever that maybe. For someone whose knowledege of gear and music theory is pretty in-depth, I'm an idiot when it comes to knowing how and what a guitar is built from. ?( i'll look forward to seeing pics of the hanneman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(most like Mahogany)Much of a brightness to it? (possibly some Maple in there somewhere)Whatever it is, I bet it's a great acquisition! i'll look forward to seeing pics of the hannemanw00t!

Lame Guitarist Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Just took delivery of a new Framptone Amp Switcher from Keeley in the states.Nice piece of kit and solves a lot of signal loss, ground and amp buzzing probs i have encountered in the past.Also built like a tank.looking into maybe getting a Soldano HR50 or the SLO, was going to get a bogner but it sounded kinda fizzy like a mesa. want more of a raw sound.
