It's got his signature on the truss rod cover and the back of the headstock. Gotta get that changed ASAP I'm also thinking of getting a neck pickup installed.

Yeah, I guess so, although in real life it's a bit redder than on the picture. I thought you meant the Jeff Beck "Oxblood" signature model.

Stu-khag Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 here's an old pic of my fave guitar, must be about 6 years old now as I havent lived at home for nearly 5. its my ole US 62RI jazzmaster, a jap Jaguar (with weird modded electrics that was swapped for a tokai 335 copy) and my trusty old mex Jazz which is still my number 1 bass. eagle eyed peeps may also see an Ibanez overdrive 2 pedal from '72ish bought for a pound and also a '00' gauge trainboard that my dad has forever been sorting out.

alanbass1 Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 (edited) Well, playing both bass and guitar it's great to see some love for the cheesecutters. Some from my stable include my DeTemple Spirit '56: My '59 re-issue fitted with a pair of PAF's taken from a 1960 ES175: My all original '56 tele - sounds phenominal A couple of CP Thornton's: My Ricky Carl Wilson signature: And my '64 ES330: Edited November 29, 2009 by alanbass1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_the_bass Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 (edited) Les Paul Special 1997 - proper gloss nitro version, not one of the fadeds. Weird one - I've had some really nice LP Standards and a fantastic but extremely heavy LP Custom, but I just like the sound of this - it's basically a full thickness Les Paul mahogany body, minus the maple cap and has a pair of P100s (stacked humbuckers). I really wanted P90 looks and will probably get around to trying a pair of P90s at some point, but to be honest I like them hum free!! Les Paul Standard 2003 with a pair of SD Pearly Gates neck and bridge. I've put this up for sale 3 times since losing my job, but found that I would rather go with out or part with other guitars to get by. The thing is, I don't think it's much to look at, but I've rarely played a better. CIJ Fender Telecaster Custom 2006 (I think - I bought it new, but can't remember when!!). Bridge pickup was crap so put a Giovanni cheapo from Axesrus in - surprisingly good. (Peerless) Epiphone Dot 335 2005 with a Burstbucker (neck) and Rio Grande Texas humbucker. Nice guitar but compare it to a proper 335 and it just loses, which is a shame, however it was dirt cheap from Thomann, which makes it ok! Needs a Bigsby IMO Gordon-Smith GS1 1983. Apparently had a Gibson Humbucker fitted when it was built - I only got it a few years ago so I suspect it was long gone. Squier Silver Series (MIJ) Stratocaster 1992 - owned by me since 1994. Pickups were crap but budget Wilkinsons make a hell of a difference and it almost sounds like a real Strat Crafter Lite T/SP. Bought new when I went to try guitars out for my mate's daughter. Bought him one and one for me to replace Mrs JTB's Yamaha F310 or whatever it was she didn't play so I could stick a guitar on a stand in the living room to pick up when I felt like it. I think I paid £115 each for the two of them - solid top, decent hardware, played really nicely out of the box - doesn't stand up well to what's going to follow, but probably the best value for money instrument I have ever bought. C.F. Martin HD-28V 2007. Has an L.R. Baggs Element pickup which I would like to pull out and replace with a Fishman Eclipse system, but this does the job for now. I sold 2 basses and 2 guitars, my new mobile phone upgrade and topped up the fund with the money from 2 gigs to buy this. As soon as I played a chord I knew that I had to have one - such a weird feeling. The only instrument that ever 'spoke' to me - if that makes sense? I believe the H in HD-28V means that Martin scallop the bracing so there's less wood in it and the top moves better; the V I think is for "Vintage" which means the bracing is shifted forward, nearer the soundhole, like the pre-war Martins (the bracing was moved towards the bottom of the guitar because the tension of medium guage strings used to pull the tops off!) and gives, to my ears, a much nicer bass response. The neck has a noticeable V shape which was weird when I first played it but now seems so natural, "Waverley" open back tuners and a vintage style dark tint to the stain on the top. I had been after an all-solid wood guitar for a while and was pretty much sold on rosewood sides and back and spruce top. I tried about 20 guitars in the shop and this was the only one that sounded how I thought an acoustic guitar should sound. My first steel strung acoustic guitar in 1993 was a Sigma version of a D28 (Sigma were to Martin what Squier is to Fender) - it was alright, but this is just amazing (hence I've gone on about it so much!!). This is probably the one guitar I would never ever sell unless I was about the lose the house and even then I'd have to think about it!

Of course, i suppose it's like a black and white strat, there are a lot of them around and you can get a bit sick of looking at it. I'm getting a bit angry at my guitar. I put the original pickups back in it but it's still playing up so i'm going to have to give it a bit more iron time.

john_the_bass Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Nah I don't see too many Desertburst Les Pauls and there aren't many Les Pauls with black backs. I just don't think I'm a fan - I much prefer a Vintage Sunburst or Tobaccoburst I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have heard of the "punk bass" Well i made something on similar lines to that, although you can play all 24 frets on this one! In fact i think i might hold the piece of wood with the bridge down with some of those metal strips with holes in them. Good idea. I think it's a pretty cool guitar because it's actually quite nice sounding. I might shove some new frets in there though because these ones are all scratched. Here's a better pic of some other guitars i owned: The dean off the other page. It's got these weird active pickups which i'm currently switching out with the ones in the punk guitar that were originally in here in the first place. The maverick X-1 that i owned from late 2006 to about april last year, just before i got the LTD. It's an amazing looking guitar but i didn't really like the way it played and it also was very slab sided compared to the newer versions. Which is okay if it's thin like the dean but it was very thick. This guitar was more of a business venture than something i was going to keep. My friend sold it me for £100 and i made about £180 on it a couple of weeks later. Nice. Epiphone goth explorer. What i didn't like about this guitar was the fact that the satin paint looked amazing at first but then it ended up going all glossy and crap over time. Also the pickups weren't very good. I also used to own 2 other guitars, a vintage VSA 535 and a Gear4music lp copy which i butchered nicely. Shame i don't have any pics of either.

Kirky Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The interesting guitars in my collection (there's lots of dross as well): 1) 1950s Maton Alver - bought for 40 New Zealand dollars about 26 years ago and turned from an acoustic to an electric by me and my dad. [attachment=37795:Maton_Alver_2.JPG] 2) 1981 Rickenbacker 360-6 - owned from new, replaced an older Burgundy version of the same model that was stolen from me. [attachment=37796:360_6_2.jpg] 3) 1983 Rickenbacker 360-12 - owned from new. Frankly this never gets played - I drag it out once a year to change strings and have a strum then it goes straight back in its case. I should really sell it to fund bass gear but have no idea of the market value. [attachment=37797:360_12_3.JPG] Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhysP Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 As we're posting pictures of guitars, here's my 1982 Hamer Special: I had an absolutely superb 1995 Hamer Standard (explorer shape) too but I sold that to fund my last Zon purchase.

FlatEric Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 While we are doing 6 string stuff, why not 18! Went to see Del Bromham & Stray, at The Musician, Saturday. Cracking band - Album Valhalla, voted one of the best rock albums of 2009 by Get Ready To Rock. Contacted Del, to arrange a meet, to see the brother to the twin he used to have. [attachment=40003:Stray1.jpg] [url="http://www.stray-the-band.co.uk/18string.htm"]Peter Cook Firebird Twin Neck.[/url] Had a great night - Del hammering out some great guitar work, Stuart Uren on Sandgerg bass, with some great rock bass lines, along with Karl Randall on Drums. Very tight! If you get a chance to see them - Go, you'll be glad you did! Chek out their web site. [url="http://www.stray-the-band.co.uk/"]STRAY[/url] Cheers.
