firmo Posted January 28, 2010 Posted January 28, 2010 Not a pic of mine itself, but the same. Om nom nom nom nom.
paul h Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 My latest acquisition, a 1996 Squier Affinity Strat. Nicely mojo'd and with that "strat" tone in buckets! [attachment=45184:squier_strat.jpg]
OutToPlayJazz Posted March 20, 2010 Posted March 20, 2010 Speaking of which, I just traded my as-new Line 6 Spyder III 75w combo for a new VOX VT30 - Seriously rich sounding and light weight for carrying around schools and student's houses.
paul h Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Do you want to hear my £60 Squier Strat? [attachment=45434:beck_and_call.mp3] Just a quick noodle....don't judge me!
Shaggy Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Lovin' those Rics above.... Here's mine; early '60's Broadway semi and highly modded 1954 Gibson ES-175 (fantastically versatile - middle switch position gives middle & bridge p/ups out of phase - "chimes" even better than my old Ric 360/12), and very nice '77 Gibson Mk 35 electro-acoustic that I got in a trade with BurritoBass last year. Just got a Mesa Boogie mini-stack: '85 Mark III short head and 1x12 EV 200W Thielle cab - will get some pics up.
Doctor J Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 I'm, too, am guilty. Picked these up over the years, I rather like them.

Not a bad shout for £60.

I think I would probably go for a couple of wiring mods first to see what happens, but new pickups would definitely be an improvement.
Wil Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Can't go wrong with a bit of Beck, either! Does it hold tune alright with all the vibrato arm antics?
paul h Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) Pretty much as long as you don't push it too far. I'm quite into Jeff Beck at the moment. Never really listened to him before but I am really enjoying his "relaxed" approach to pitch! Of course he has scored massive brownie points with me by doing Lilac Wine on his latest album! Edited March 24, 2010 by paul h
Wil Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Although I don't get on with vibrato arms, I barely use a pick at all now since listening to Beck. He's a real maverick. Shame a lot of his output is a bit, er, "jazzy", but not in a good way
paul h Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Well I have only had a trem for a week so I thought I better have a go at using it! And I have just realised that you spotted it was a Beckalike! I know the name of the track helped but I am still chuffed you recognised the influence.

It's the short lived Iommi sig, based on their Vienna model, essentially a genuinely huge slab of mahogany and almost as heavy as the 77 J I used to have. But the tone, [i]the tone[/i]
7string Posted March 28, 2010 Posted March 28, 2010 A mate of mine has one of the prototype Berlins which were named "Climaxe". This is before PRS asked Eggle to change the shape a little. The thing sounds great, but it's heavy. So heavy that he used to have a neoprene strap to help with the weight. An amazing guitar though
waynepunkdude Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 I picked up my Gordon Smith LP at last will post pics tomorrow.
waynepunkdude Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Here she is, bit of 90's British ska/punk history in this one. This has toured with the 4FT Fingers which won't mean much to a lot of people but they were awesome.
budget bassist Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 (edited) is that a gibson lp junior or something? Edited April 3, 2010 by budget bassist

waynepunkdude Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 [quote name='budget bassist' post='794964' date='Apr 3 2010, 12:18 PM']ahhhhh cool, is that yours then??[/quote] Yes indeed, I picked it up from Rob from the 4FT Fingers on Thursday
7string Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Gordon Smith's are way under-rated. Congrats on the catch with it's associated history!!
