Old Gold Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 The things I use most:Guitars- Mexican Fender Stratocaster, S&P Cedar Folk (small bodied acoustic guitar).Stomp Boxes- EHX Holy Grail, T Rex Mudhoney, DD-6, Behringer tuner pedal, Boss OD-3 (which is really boring, but probably my favourite).Amp - Vox AD50VT (which has done me well, although will hopefully find itself replaced by all-tube goodness before the year/month is out).Again, numerous other stuff: Westfield Jazz Bass, cheap Yamaha acoustic, Aria Pro II electric... my flat's too small though, so they all live with numerous other individuals.Oh, I have an ELC tambourine beside my bed too.

Tooms Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Well the reason mesa's etc sound so much better is due to the quality of wood etc to build the cab. The resonance of woods differ, and therefore alter tone significantly. I think marshall cabs are made of plywood whereas mesas are a more expensive and dense wood - and therefore fucking heavy. You'd probably be better trying to stick a V30 in a cheaper cab than make your own from scratch to be honest... but I'm not a total expert on the subject.yeah just been spending the last hour at work (not working) and reading about speaker cabinet construction. Think I've got my head round most of the calcs, although they're all freely available online anyway. I may just start a little project. But yes I take your point that it is not just the driver that makes the cabinet good, but everything from construction materials to dimensions.some interesting info here though for anyone who is interested. ...and that photo is awesome! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 no offence, but I hate musicians like you.Ha ha, fair enough, it's not through choice though, it's through lack of cash, and flogging all my equipment a few years ago cos I needed to pay rent! I like to keep it simple anyway, I don't really use pedals (just a fuzzbox and very occasionally a phaser) and I like my guitar to just sound ugly and noisy, so shit equipment works well for me.

Jam Man looper, Marshall echo head, Marshall reflector reverbI tend to D/I live, so rarely use amps...when I do it's couple of naff Fenders or a little Vox (might also now use Pignose).

Nothing worse than having to ask to use other peoples gear (who bothered to save/work/steal money to pay for it), not to mention getting the sound that you want straight away.xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm broke because I'm already paying off waaaay to many other things every month. A few years ago I ran up some stupid debts and the bank have had me by the balls ever since, so I have virtually no disposable income. Hence, beg, borrow, steal.
