Wish List


Fire2theSky

Recommended Posts

....as Chris digs WAY into the archives to dredge up a 2-1/2 year old thread....

It is interesting to see how far I've come since last posting:

Doubleneck: Done! (but not chambered)

Travel Guitar: Done!

Neck-thru bass: Done!

V-amp 2: Got it & gave it to my son.

Mandolin: started...

Broadcaster and 175: back-burner

New wish list:

Rane crossover, Eden WT800 driving an Eden D210XST bass cab, and Eden WT1205 driving a JBL 18" sub.

:D

I thought I posted in here at work. I guess I forgot to hit submit.

When I joined back in December of 2004, this is what my rig looked like:

Tacoma DM9 acoustic.

Broken Olympic brand BC Rich Warlock clone. My first electric from 1988. Needed to be rebuilt, which is how I found this place.

Sad, huh? I had pretty much given up guitar completely when I sold all my gear after being laid off from Enron in 2001, and then again at three other jobs until April of 2004 when I found another full time job. Then Dimebag was shot, and while I don't know why, I just felt the urge to play again. So, I went to Guitar Center and picked up a Squier Affinity Strat and a Line 6 Guitarport.

My setup now looks like this (recen changes noted):

Guitars:

- Ibanez 2003 S470DXQM w/ EMG 81/2/85 - Main axe, standard tuning.

- Ibanez 1998 RG520QS in dark blue. Stock S7/S8 pickups, though I have an EMG 81/85 set for it. Blocked trem, drop C tuning.

- Ibanez 2004 S470DX - Factory 2nd due to a headstock binding flub, but other than that it's perfect. Standard tuning.

- Ibanez 2000 S470 - Standard tuning. This one may be sold, as I don't play it anymore.

- Squire Affininty Strat - This guitar is my testbed for fun stuff and has had every type of pickup in the last year. Currently sporting an EMG S set, but I'm taking them out and putting in some Mex Strat pickups and giving it to my little brother who wants to learn how to play.

- Tacoma DM9 acoustic. The best bang for the buck in a US made guitar before Fender bought them.

- 1976 Ovation Matrix. Made the same year as me. Unique one piece aluminum fretboard/frets. I liked to play the D chord on it a lot 18 years ago, and you can tell due to the impressions in the frets there. Unrepairable without significant machine work, so it needs a new neck. Ovation has said they'll consider replacing it under warranty!

- Olympic brand BC Rich Warlock clone. My first real electric guitar. Laminate body, but I love it. Currently needs the bridge post redrilled after being filled a year ago.

Bass:

2001 Fender Mex Jazz Bass. "Reliced"/beat up by the previous owner. Scored at Guitar Center for $150 after tax. Found a Jazz Bass parts lot on ebay for $35 that had an EMG J-set and all controls in it. Sold the Mex Fender pickups for the same amount, so it was a net gain for me. Needs a serious refinish, but playes beautifully and sounds awesome.

Effects:

My rack:

- SKB 8 space ATA rack

- Furman RP-8 Power Conditioner - 1 space

- Line 6 POD XT Pro. My main tone source. Super versatile. - 2 spaces

- Rocktron Piranha tube preamp. Still trying to work this into my signal chain. - 1 space

- BBE Sonic Maximizer 882i - 1 space

Stomp boxes/floor stuff:

- DOD Performer 555 Distortion - 1980's vintage. High gain fun.

- Digitech XP-100 Whammy/Wah pedal. Unfortunately it just got run over in the garage after I finally got it working. I still don't understand how it got there. The casing is destroyed, but the circuit boards appear OK. I'll try and transplant it, or buy an original/re-issue of the better one if I miss it.

- Digitech RP-100 for practicing away from home.

- Behringer FCB 1010 MIDI foot controller.

Amps/Speakers

- Peavey Rage 158 - Guitar input broken, but I have the stuff to effectively troubleshoot it now. Well, except time. CD input works fine, so I can use it as a power amp, though with no volume control.

- Peavey 5150 212 combo - Just sold this last weekend to a total EVH freak. He brought his Wolfgang with him to test it out. I already miss it.

- Mesa Boogie 2:50 power amp. It's in the SKB rack listed above. - 2 spaces

- Rocktron Velocity S112 Speaker Cabinet w/ one 12" speaker.

All that stuff above was bought in the last year. I never realized I had so much stuff until I wrote it all down. Now I understand why my wife gets mad when I get new gear. It doesn't make me play any better, but it sure makes me enjoy playing/practicing a lot more than before. :D

Stuff I've had/sold since joining:

- 2003 Tom Delonge Fender Strat in black. MINT. Sold to collector/Blink 182 fan for twice what I paid for it.

- 1996 Mex Strat. Huge mistake selling this one. It was nearly perfect, and I miss playing it.

- Four Ibanez RG320DXQMs - All parted out after I realized they were worth more in parts than in my collection.

- 2000 Ibanez RG520QS in dark brown. Parted out. Mistake, but I needed funds for other stuff.

- 2003 Ibanez S470BK. Parted out.

- 2001 Ibanez S470FL. Parted out.

- 2001 Ibanez SCA220B. Recently sold on eBay.

- 1999 Ibanez RG570 that I got as a project guitar that had been spraypainted black. I cleaned up all the parts and sold them.

- The previously mentioned Peavey 5150 Combo. The best distortion tones I've ever heard, but insanely loud. Nearly caused me to get a divorce when my wife saw it, and she's a musician herself.

- Behringer Bass V-Amp Pro. Some nice bass and guitar tones there, but it didn't hold up to the flexibility of my POD XT Pro. With the POD XT Pro being almost 5 times the retail price, that shouldn't be a surprise.

- GuitarPort. Neat device, and great tool for the starting/starving guitarist. I sold it when I got the POD XT Pro.

Stuff I want:

- Ibanez Prestige S2020X

- Ibanez Prestige S1520 mahogany. Pre-2003 model w/ Lo Pro Edge

- Ibanez Prestige S1620 Bubinga/Mahogany. I hate middle pickups, and I love the ZR trem.

- Ibanez Prestige RG1620

- Ibanez Prestige RG3120

- Ibanez Prestige RG1527 7-string.

- A nice Fender Strat or comparable.

- A nice Tele

- TC Electronics G-Force

- Eventide Ultra Harmonizer

- A 1 watt tube power amp.

- Mesa 20/20 power amp.

- Too many amps/preamps to mention beyond those two.

Actual dream guitar?

A 24 fret Sabre. I only know of one that exists from the factory, and it belongs to Mick Thompson of Slipknot.

I only own two guitars that I bought from the store. A godin SD (not that you couldn't have guessed that :D ) and a Takamine EG560CBS

I have two amps, one is a heavily modified valve junior (currently for sale) and the other is an ax84 P1 that I built from scratch thats sitting in a valve junior cabinet. Eventually I'm going to built a mini stack out of it with one speaker per cab (like the marshall ministack, I love the way those things look)

The only effect pedal I have is my BOSS TU-2 tuner. B)

The tone all comes from the fingers boys, not the gear like you sissys :D:D

Like hammer much? :D:D

How do you like your ax84?

It's pretty sweet. I still have some tweaking to do to get it right where I want it. Right now it sounds sweet clean and semi clean but it's not as good as it could be when cranked up high.

Yeah, true. I can't help it though, I'm addicted to gear. We need to start a support group or something around here.

I sold my kids crib so I could buy a new wah pedal........ only kidding! It was her changing table..........
