unbroken Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Looks very cool to me, although a matching white headstock would just set it off perfectly.I don't know what it is about them. I love the look of Fender Jaguar guitars, just don'y like the basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraser Mac Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 the guy that's not mick something from slipknot has a sig tele with EMGs, but it's not what you would expect really, all that's left is the body that is still tele, even then i think the wood is completely diferent so, it's not really a tele at all.When i did this to mine, the jim root tele wasnt out yet, ended up costing about 500 or around about that, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprinted Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Apparently them VHTs sound tasty.The nearest competitor I can hear tonally is the Diezel Herbert at low volumes, obviously not _as_ good but it's pretty close, gives me a decent "Hail Destroyer" by the Cancer Bats tone.The tubes in it really need to be cranked to shine (as I found out when I was trying it out in the guitar store I bought it in and some fucker before me had dimed the volume and gain and it nearly took my head off my shoulders!) but it still sounds nice when it's quiet. It starts to get far more aggressive when you start giving it beans and it responds fantastically to picking dynamics.A rather nice clean tone on it as well.

Lame Guitarist Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Put This wee practice rig together at the weekend. Bought that wee blackstar that sounds superb after a tube change and a few tweeks. Its only 5 watts but with the switching systems i can use it through the power sections of the Mesa's for a bigger sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lame Guitarist Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 your putting the preamp of a 250 amp through 2 power sections of 2 1k plus amps... for practice, or am I well off?Trust me it sounds superb, It may be a 250 quid preamp going through 4K of amps but it really works for certain sounds. honestly sounds real good. I was suprised when i tried that wee thing. Sounded really good, I have made a few adjustments internally and better tubes which make it even better. Boosting it with a few pedals as well.I was hoping to put my triaxis in that rack as well but I am getting a few ground issues and stereo / mono issues that are conflicting with using the full stereo capability of the G major so I either need to buy another G major or get back to the drawing board. Took me long enough to get each amp to use the same Effects when they run together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lame Guitarist Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 Why would it be ironic anyway to use a 5k rig for band practices?A lot of people act like its taboo. I don't see the problem if i did. I have a lot of gear and want to use it as much as i can. If i take my Diezel and a Bogner cab to a band practice thats a 3.5k rig so there isn't that much of a difference. Or is this me being frowned upon by people that slate other musicians for using expensive gear?Should the same apply to guitars? Should you practice with a 2.5k les paul custom or should you practice with a 100 westfield les paul copy as its just for practiceI don't see the problem and its my gear so if I want to use it for a practice then I would. I have a good job that pays for my obsession and I have a very understanding better half that encourages me to buy gear I want. I would still buy it even if I didn't earn a penny out of playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lame Guitarist Posted June 1, 2009 Report Share Posted June 1, 2009 seems you don't need expensive gear that sounds great if you don't play enough to justify having it.I know, Seems I should sell it to please people and get myself a Roland Cube or something I don't care if some folk don't like other folk with expensive gear. I have worked hard to get it and I am obsessed with buying gear and building rigs. The bigger the better I say In all honesty I am better at building rigs than guitar playing but it won't stop me buying and playing gear whether its expensive or not. When I was 18 I used to dream of owning Mesa Boogies and stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was 18 I used to dream of owning Mesa Boogies and stuff like that.totally agree.I like buying gear, I don't really have the money to do it, but when I do, I love it.I remember once getting really upset when I was younger because I never thought that I would be able to own any sort of bass amp, and I would never be able to afford another bass. Now I have 4 basses and a great amp and cab set up and I wouldn't change them for the world.Mesa Boogie is the shnizz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
