Title: Band instrumentalists - post your gear
Post by: Joey_21 on January 22, 2003, 04:05:17 pm
I'm curious - what do you guys play? Post pics please. :)



This is my first guitar, the Ibanez GRX20.

I, however, play a heavily modded Pearl drumset with Zildjian symbols

My guitar be my baby.

The amp is a little different, not sure if it's the angle of the pic or what but it's not as tall but a bit wider. Gorgeous sound though. Valves = teh yummy.

Oh and various pedals, a zoom 505, a danelectro "grilled cheese" distortion and "pastrami" overdrive as well as a bog standard compressor.

I own 3 pedals, myself: danelectro black coffee distortion and pastrami, and 1 DOD pedal: grunge distortion

I play a very plain acoustic guitar. I'm tired after a long day, so I'll upload pics tomorrow afternoon. ;)

Btw, nice electric - how much did that thing cost you?

'tis a custom built jobbie I made a while back.
Other guitars:

Olympic white 1968 reissue stratocaster (like the one Mr. Hendrix played)
One custom Westbury with a 1958 gibson les paul bridge humbucker.
One Takamine acoustic and one yamaha acoustic.
The amp we use is a 100 watt musicman.

As for pedals, I build my own 'cos it's more fun. :nod:

A Fender Strat with a Peevy practise amp.

My brother plays a modded Pearl drumkit with the heaviest skins you can get hold of (he's into metal).

Currently my best "instrument" is my voice, although its not exceptional by any means.

The Ibanez GRX20 costs a little over $160 USD and I've had it for 2 years and 3 days already. :D

I did have an Ibanez RG550 at one point, but I didn't really like it. I got my maverick in July, I love it, plays like a dream, sounds fantastic and it was relatively cheap.

Just wish I could play it :).

Need to get a new cheap guitar to thrash around with.

01010: On music123.com I thought I saw some really cheap, full sized, 6-string electric guitars for under $100 USD.


Maeglamor: I'm not really that involved in electronics but would you mind sharing your pedal-building secrets with us anyway? :D


venom: Nice guitar. I'd really like to own one of those one of these days. I know I could get it for cheap somewhere online but when I got money for a 7-string I just could resist. ;)

you do realize of course that TRUE guitarists don't rely on pedals and fancy effects, they rely on their skill to make what they play sound good.

:D :p

just kidding, even i use pedals and stuff occasionally

Well, even if so the previous were true, the 'flavor' wouldn't fit. I HAVE TO have my grunge because built-in distortion just doesn't cut it. :) Flavor is unalterable by the master. For example: If I used vintage distortion while ripping out nu-metal tunes it would sound yuck. :ick

My grunge pedal is the pedal I use on a daily basis. I haven't used any of my others in a while. ;)

hey thanks. I bought the warlock mainly coz it looked so cool. Mine's a limited edition :) On a side note, she is very difficult to play coz the ... stick (?) is bent, and it costs a fortune to replace it.
anyway, back when I bought it, my skills with a guitar were so so, and now I've lost it all. My teacher was never here, always on tours and stuff, so I finally gave up. Couldn't get myself to start again now, it's too late, don't feel like playing the rockstar anymore :p.

Looks cool indeed. :nod: Are you referring to the whammy bar or the neck?

I learned by myself and built my own method of playing. I didn't know of any teachers who could play in the style I wanted to learn so I just fooled around with it by myself until I could play anything I sat down with and tried to learn. :)

Post by: Nico on January 24, 2003, 02:52:23 pm
the neck I guess. the long bar that takes half the lengh of the guitar :p
well, I guess if the will is there, you can learn by yourself ( many famous guitarists did, after all ), sadly, I've lost the will lng ago. Now my warlock ( I love the name :D ) is just in my room coz it looks so cool, and coz once in a while one of my friends plays with it ( and he's damn good, his band will record a CD soon ), so that's a pleasure to see my guitar play good once in a while :lol:.
