USGoldParticipant
Tim, my main genres’ are blues and 70’s type classic rock, I have a tube amp so a gain boost, (OD) makes a nice tone change from clean, the OD helps milk the amp without having to crank the volume, it’s really only listenable for practice up to 2/12 or three, as it’s a 100W twin 12, I bought it for gigging but the tone is so sweet ,I just have to use it for practice too, it’s why I mentioned the twin OD, thinking I can use it to boost both clean and “lead” channels without blowing myself out of the music room.
USGoldParticipantI guess they took the term “spanking that axe” litteraly
USGoldParticipantIt’s a brand new model 225 prices at about $1400 US, notice the orange peel finish, cheap looking hardware and only two tone/vol pots, guess Gibson thinks their name alone is enough to sell us trash, I’ve
heard terrible reports about Gibsons quality control in recent years but this is beyond the pale.USGoldParticipantNot sure if this has ever been posted before, If not I think I’ve found a winner.

USGoldParticipantJust a side note to the above conversation, I’ve noticed several interesting pedals on a web seller site called guitarfetish dot com, they seem to be very well constructed and some of them have sound bites to demonstrate the effect achieved, I’ve been very interested in the dual overdrive myself, although the blues screamer looks good too. This is not an ad for the site but the prices seem to be very friendly too.
Moderators if this posting is not kosher please just delete, I’ll understand.
USGoldParticipantI don’t play metal so my input is strictly personal. take it or leave it makes no difference to me.
I would think in playing for the genre of metal music, besides a high gain distortion, that a limiter/compressor pedal might be a useful thing, I agree with what Tim said about delay/chorus too.
USGoldParticipantThanks Jason, actually I’m just trying to keep this site active but I do enjoy finding pics to share too.
USGoldParticipantAnother beautiful Bass, would like to see what they’d do with a guitar.

USGoldParticipantAs a guitarist even I have to admit this would sound much better played on a bass.

USGoldParticipantThink your LP or Bass is heavy, try this on for size

USGoldParticipantI got all three pics through facebook so steal away, it never occurred to me that Brits might not recognize the three chaps above, tell me you do know “The Three Stooges”, my belief is that they were golfing pictures that have been photoshopped over to guitars, that explains the cobber as you so rightfully put it, threads as we yanks would say.That black mess you commented on above, you’d never get to playing, be constantly messing about with switches and sliders and whatnot, sometimes I have trouble deciding which pickup to choose on my PRS three pu model, and that’s with only a 5 way and one volume one tone.
USGoldParticipantOk not ugly , but thought this might amuse my bass playing friends.
