The Gear Thread

[ROCKSTEADY]

Post reviews and ratings about gear that you have used, or just want.

I'll start off with the pedal im about to buy...

a Boss feedbacker discontinued as of 1994 and an import to boot. I'm pretty excited about this one.

[The Masterplan]

Hmm. I just got all new gear, so I'm not sure I want anything else right now.

But I'll list what I have:

Ibanez RG7321

Ibanez RG350DX

Line 6 Spider III 120W

BOSS MT-2 Metal Zone

[Galkar]

Fender Fat Strat

Electro Harmonix Big Muff Pi

Fender FM15 DSP amp

All I need right now, althoguuh I wouldn't mind some kind of EQ pedal.

[Belial]

Fender American Strat

Peavey Bandit 112

Ovation Celebrity

Austin Bass

Austin Bass Amp

[Ceraziefish]

Epiphone SG (discontinued model)

Kustom amp (can't remember model name)

That's it right now. I had a couple pedals but I kind of lost track of them in my move, because I never used 'em much.

[stranger]

i have a Fender Strat electric (w/ Crate amp) and an Ibanez acoustic

[ROCKSTEADY]

somone actually bought that feedbacker pedal before i did, im still pretty pissed.

Boss Twin Equalizer pedal

Boss Super Shifter pedal

Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion

Boss Digital Delay 3

Dunlop crybaby wah

Line6 Spider 2

thats what I currently use cause I can get a diverse sound and variety from, I've gone through so much gear over the years, most of it I realized was a waste and sold.

[ROCKSTEADY]

I have a

Schecter C-1 Elite (white)

Epiphone Valve Junior 5w head

and an Earth Cabinet, however, i know not the exact year of its assembly, mid 70's im guessing

Pearl Forum with fiberskin heads

Tama Iron Cobra DBL pedal

Casio sa-20 and its radio shack counterpart :hardgay:

[Ceraziefish]

So, I'm thinking of buying my roommate's bass, but I can't find reviews of it anywhere on the net. It's a Squier Bass, but it's not a P-Bass. It doesn't look like a strat. I can't find it. It's crazy.

[ROCKSTEADY]

if its a squier jazz bass, scoop it, they're killer for the price you pay.

[Ceraziefish]

I'm pretty sure it is. He said under $250, I'm gonna see if I can haggle him down to $150 or so once he gets back from class.

[Ceraziefish]

Hm. It looks a little like that one, but the body is all one color, and there's no pickguard.

Still, I think it might be that one. He said he bought it from someone who was in a jazz band, so I assume at least the person he bought it from knew their shit.

[ROCKSTEADY]

For future reference...

The basic Pearl double bass pedals work as well (if not a little better) As Iron cobras.

[ROCKSTEADY]

im thinking about getting this head for my Earth Cabinet...

Anyone have any experience with this paticular head? I've heard mixed reviews.

[ROCKSTEADY]

I have a DW7000, it's good enough

yeah, i should have shelled out the extra bucks for the DW in all honesty. The Iron Cobra isn't all its cracked up to be.

Is that their new modeling head? I haven't heard anything about it but I remember when the details about it were first released.

oh sorry i forgot to metnion. Its an Ibanez tone blaster, i will be getting the older version for about $200.

[thebornotaku]

I'm not all hardcore into gear (or even playing for that matter), but here goes:

Fender Precision Bass II (Black, white pickguard, needs new electronics, custom volume/tone knobs)

Diadarrio XL strings

Fender BXR Bass amp (Uh, it's old and was given to me by my mom.)

some really good monster cable (it was like 50$ or something)

Ah. Well...I'm a tube man now so I don't really know about solid state. Can't help ya man, sorry.

I've got:

Guitars

Jackson DKMGT

Ibanez crappy starter thing

A Yamaha acoustic that sounds surprisingly good with Elixer strings.

A 30 year old classical from a luthier I've never heard of.

Gear

Marshall MG30DFX

PodXT Live with the Metal Pack

Mesa Boogie F-50

Bad Monkey pedal

Drums

Pearl Export with Remo Ebony Pinstripe heads

Crappy B8 Pro cymbals

That's about it I think.

[ROCKSTEADY]

Once you've had tube you never go back.

Seriously... I'm in love with my Fender Blues Deluxe.

i would love to get a used valve king or something, but i can't afford one right now, i have to get a korg electribe MKII for my live electronics act. So ican't really spend more than 200 on an amp, basically just something that i can run really loud through the clean channel.

[John]

It depends on how you want to do it. You could buy a pickup you put over the sound hole and those start at like $60. I don't really know how much it costs to get a real pickup + installation.

[Ceraziefish]

Yeah, stickers on guitars are kinda lame. :/

[ROCKSTEADY]

thats a beautiful guitar
