Musical Equipment Porn!

[petesbrew]

Nothing compared to most of the equipment on this thread but here's my gear

Found on a council cleanup a few years ago. Yamaha Bass w/Active pickups, still working, thrown cos the string kept falling off. :lol:

'68 Mustang (mod'd with Dimarzio split coil HB's)
'82 Yamaha SG-300 (a killer guitar)
Maton M325 Acoustic

The rig's an Alesis Quadraverb GT playing through a Marshall 100W JMP Superlead MkII. Plus a Hendrix Wah that still needs repairs.
Also got an Ampeg 130CC Combo, and a rock'n purple-sunburst Ashton acoustic guitar for the kiddies to learn on.

In what I'm sure will be a useless attempt to stop this being a guitarist's clusterfuck (how many guitarists does it take to beat another guitarist off....10. 1 do do the jacking off, 9 to say I can do that but faster)

The apple of my eye. Punchy like a piano, necks a little chunky but is relatively short, Body is nice and thin but not real well balanced unless you're playing it up around your ears so put a second strap knob on it, will get around to finding a genuine Ric one one day...

Can't seem to attach more than 1 image/post, anyway, here's the B team.....


Japanese J bass. Thiner, faster neck than the ric but longer scale, swings and roundabouts I spose. Nice to play but doesn't sound as good to my ear. Also a cheap Musicman knockoff tuned to B (The key of fart) for when I want to try to play Carcass tunes.

To make it all loud.....

Markbass Minimark sitting atop a cab with 2x10 Eminence Speakers. I love that little amp so much. It sounds so good at low volumes while watching TV, I've never come across that in an amp before. But you crank it up, no one beleives the sound that comes out of it even without the extension cab. It puts out 150W through the 2x6 in the combo, and another 100W on the extension. Gives such a clean sound of whatever is pluged into it (at the moment I'm after a bit of a growl so use a Sansamp DI box, the blend feature is genius, 50/50 effect and ric thankyou)and is about the size of a computer tower and weighs 9kg. Yet to have the limiter kick in even with the pedal and can be heard clearly through guitarist's Soldano SLO 100 (nothing can be heard over a soldano....those pots go up to 11) in the rehearsal room. Yet to be used live (and havn't been onstage in a long, long time) but have a gig lined up soon and, meh, DI me. Going to local music shop to play with some Markbass Traveller Cabs once tax return clears though...
Also out on loan have an old Ibanez Roadstar and an old Sovtek 50W tube midget head. Bought years ago to learn guitar properly but never got round to it. New addition is a Mapex kit (which I have no ability or desire to use) to make drummer more reliable.

Sounds like its pretty sweet mate! - good work!

Seriously, how the f*cking good is a Cajon for jam with the acoustic?!?! Check out the Meinl site for vids if you really need to know how versatile they are!

Love mine!

Actually on topic!

Check this shit out - thanks for the tip!



Love the Cajon work at the start but the percussion on guitar stuff from about 3.10 is f%cking amazing!

cheers!

Saw them do that live in Launceston about 2 months ago. I had just finished 4 x 12 hour night shifts and on a whim decided to go with my wife and daughter - 1.5 hour drive, bloody tired, 3/4 pissed but that part made the trip worth while. We don't get enough of these type of musos down here, at least not in Burnie. BTW Lloyd Spiegel is worth catching if he is ever your way. One of my favourite guitarists, and probably the guitarist that I try (not very well) to emmulate and use for ideas when playing acoustically. Geoff Achison and Jimi Hocking rock as well.
Cheers
Man my typing sucks after 16 hour shifts :lol:

WTF is that supposed to mean? There's plenty of non-guitar porn on this thread, or maybe you didn't bother looking at what has been posted. Shall I add to my photos with pics of my piccolo, viola, flute and sax to even the balance ? Let's REALLY take this away from guitars (oh, an isn't a bass still a guitar?)

Nath, will respond tomorrow to your question. Nothing to be excited about though, and the stratocaster destruction is a planned art expression in the making. I want see how indestructible the instrument is and still be able to hold tune

Nice. :chug:

Q: How do you know when there is a guitarist at your party?


A: Dont worry, He'll tell ya... [Dead pan delivery needed]

Same answer

Knew I'd get picked up on that. As for your flute, keep that stuff in the Show Us Your Flute thread.

In line with the porn theme, I've had a hard on for the stylings of Tool drummer Danny Carey since the early nineties. The guy is simply on another level.
Though I'm currently on the hunt for an electronic kit, if the powerball man came a knockin, I'd be e-mailing Sonor with my credit card details.
Then possibly a builder experienced in extensions and sound proofing..

Here's a slightly cheesy virtual rendition you can play by scrolling over it.
Go on, have a bash - you know you want to.

Interesting Ric bass. So it's a knockoff? What brand?

E-mail Roger Glover and make him an offer. I read somewhere he's switched to those ridiculous looking Steinberger things.
He's probably got a bunch of Riks gathering dust in the spare room of some English manor house.

Cole Clark Fat Lady 2.

My favourite pedal. Rich tone and great sustain. Hand made by Neil Crowther original drummer from Split Enz in his factory shed somewhere in the NZ countryside. A drummer making excellent guitar pedals? I know!

I've also got a few others but this is my fav.

Ah no, its a real ric, a 4003. I meant to say I'll get around to getting a real ric strap bolt (to replace the cheapy I put on to solve the balance issue). So, after I started the pissing on guitar players earlier, I guess I'll start the gags about stupid bass players then. Well I can't because there aren't any. Funnily enough I was trawling Ebay yesterday and saw a lot of chinese ric bass knockoffs called a "King Richard" that go for a couple of hundred bucks.

MMM Where do we start
How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
One, but the guitar player has to show him how to do it.

How many Metal bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
Five -- 1 to change the light bulb and 4 to keep the guitarist from hogging all the light.

How many Rock bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
No one ever bothered to notice!

Son: "Daddy, I want to grow up and be a bass player."
Father: "Son, you can't have it both ways."

Why are there four strings on a bass?
Three are spares.

What is the difference between a vacuum cleaner and a drunk bass player?
You have to plug one of them in before it sucks.

And my own presonal favourite

One night at Club Chintz, the mindreader closes her set by reading the mind of the each of the musicians in the band.

First, she reads the mind of the lead guitarist:
"Wow, look at all the cute chicks who showed up tonight! I bet they're all here to see me. Good crowd!"

Then the drummer:
"Look at that crowd! With this many people in the house, we're going to make good money tonight!"

Then the Keyboard player:
"Yeesh, look at that crowd. None of them will ever truly appreciate all of my talent. What a bunch of losers."

Finally, the Bass player:
"E E E E E E E E A A A A A A A A E E E E E E E E..."
