My dream guitar doesn't really exist, but if cash was no object I'd have made a guitar with a Guild Thunderbird body but it would be routed/wired to be compatible with the swap-out-able pickups of a Ampeg Dan Armstrong guitar.

They have a couple of the reissue U-2s, 59s, and Longhorn basses at Bill's Music in Catonsville, Maryland. Or at least they did a few weeks ago when I was there last.

I'm a pretty big fan of the Korg Electribe ES-1. Originally they went for like $400, but I'm pretty sure you can find a used one for like half that now. It's a "rhythm production sampler", so basically you put your own drum sounds in it. I usually fill the sample library using the drum...

I remember reading somewhere, probably a mid-90s issue of Guitar World, that the bridge pickup was the only one that was actually wired in Ace's guitar, which would make the other 2 switch positions act like kill switches. I think it said he detatched the wiring to the neck & middle pickup in...

A good example of what a chorused bass sounds like is the opening bass lick to G n R's "You Could Be Mine". At least I'm pretty sure that's what it is. If not, I'm sure someone will straighten me out.

I got a BOSS SYB-3 Bass Synthesizer pedal, I use it with guitar though. It's cool. Forward & reverse autowah, Forward & reverse weird synth-sounding envelope follower, then a bunch of monophonic synth tone settings that are generated by the pedal itself using the instrument signal solely to...

Misposted, brah. This totally should have been in the Drums forum.

I've got a Korg MS2000, I've had it for years now, I bet you can find one used for that much. It's really, really flexible, and I bet that if I ever sat down with the manual I'd be able to do really incredible things with it. CAVEAT: 4-note polyphony. If you're just looking for something...

The kicker for me is that I haven't played out anywhere since before I joined the military in 99, and some of them I bought (or am looking to buy) mainly just because they look different, like the DeArmond Jet-Star for example. The only people that ever see these things are me, my wife, the one...

I feel you there. To be even more specific, I keep getting more 6 string solidbody electrics. About 2 years ago I finally got an ES-335 knockoff, and then a few months ago I got an acoustic 12-string. It was kinda hard though, part of the internal dialog all "Yeah, I know an acoustic...

Small world. I only think I ever went to the Wheeling Gerreros once or twice. I went to the Steubenville one more (when it was open) because it was like 6 or 7 minutes away from the house vice 30. That's where the ol' man bought my Crate Vintage Club. Music City in Steubenville was where I...

Was it Gerrero's? (just outta curiousity, I grew up about 30 miles north of Wheeling on the other side of the river.) Yeah, most of the guitars my dad has are mid 70s to early 80s, not the best time for Gibson or Fender (there's one Hamer in his collection too) I guess, but he always seems to...

This is a pretty late reply to this, but anyhow... The concept of selling any of my guitars or other equipment is unfathomable to me. It's as alien a mindset as those people who say to me "Why do you need all those guitars? You can only play one at a time." Granted, I've had steady...

I'm kinda with you. The acoustics I own are the Korean Fender my dad bought for me in 92 when I was in 7th grade, a really cheap Samick that a friend gave to me, and a new Ibanez Sage series 12-string that I think was $175. They all work for my purposes. Then again, all of my electrics except...

Alright. To each his own, man.

You don't like "Les Paul through a Marshall" tone? O.k.

I sorta wonder if this thing and the Variax will eventually go out of production for not being really "natural"-sounding, then later on be sought after because of the sound they do make. Y'know, like how the Fender Rhodes piano sounded nothing like an actual piano, but a lot of people do...

Ross, bingo, that's it. Thanks, I was brainfarting. I knew it was consonant-"O"-double consonant.

My dad has one of the original script-logo Dyna-Comps that he's sworn by for probably almost 30 years now, he also had this weird grey one, I think maybe by Conn, anyhow he said it never worked, I thought it worked fine when I'd play around with it back in highschool. I think he sold it to some...
