Buying new gear appreciation/disappreciation[views:4266][posts:30]______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:28pm - blue ""] so i just bought in the past week an ace frehley les paul, and today i layed away a mockingbird. i also got a smokey amp and i think im gonna go out and get some pedals to screw around with for a bit. i love getting new shit, but i do it too often and it makes me broke. but i cant help it. oh man, i love guitars. |

| __________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:32pm - brian_dc ""] damn...I've been floundering over selling my mockingbird neck-thru construction, floyd rose trem, dimarzio evolution pickups, yadda yadda yadda, transparent-red finish...got some electronic disasters though but I don't know...if I ever decide I like floyd roses I could just fix it up and junk blue, what's with buying super heavy guitars? |
| __________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:32pm - brian_dc ""] oh yeah, my mockingbird is of the nj-neckthru series don't get too excited |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:33pm - RustedAngel ""] never try guitars out of your price range, because you end up only wanting them. I just got the GIGER LTD IBANEZ, I got to try one in NYC and it was really nice. I also got to try the new Mirror JEM and I want that too. Steve Vai is probably the luckiest guy ever. [img] the back cavity cover that looks like tape is actually this minus the text, it's rad!: [img] |
| ______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:34pm - blue ""] i got the epi. its not super heavy, unlike the gibbo. but it is loaded with 3 dimarzio super distortions. and the mockingbird is an nj. its the trans blue finish & floyded for 350. i couldnt pass it up. im gonna get a rio grande barbecue humbucker in it too. |

Steve Vai is probably the luckiest guy ever. we got one in at work a little while ago. it plays nice. the neck is almost too thin for my tastes, if thats possible. |

| __________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:41pm - brian_dc ""] blue, I'm telling you...the weight distribution of the mockingbird is horrrrrrible...the headstock is somehow heavier...making for an awkward time but then again I used to love it (my friggin aim name is mockingbri only for that) and I couldn't imagine that becoming your main axe...it's badass looking though. |
| ______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:43pm - blue ""] the one i was playing wasnt distributed gorrible at all. i was digging it a lot. i just need more guitars. there was a time where i owned 8 guitars/basses/acoustics, a couple of combos, 30+ pedals, a halfstack and more. i miss those days. |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:44pm - the_reverend ""] you don't have a band... what are you buying shit for? |

| __________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:44pm - brian_dc ""] fair enough...I wonder why my guitar had such a weight distribution curse just for the hell of it, I'll ask what are you doing post-Kubrick? or is that on the "dl"? |

| ______________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:45pm - blue ""] ouch, thats harsh. just give me 2-3 months, youll be sorry. if youre curious to know what im doing, just im me. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:46pm - brian_dc ""] so you DO have a scheme...I see |
| ______________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 6:51pm - the_reverend ""] knowing blue, the plan goes something like.. this! [img] |
| ____________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 7:31pm - PatMeebles ""] By the way, I'm still waiting for the loan check, but it should be in within a week or 2 |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 8:41pm - badsneakers ""] Congratulations on the new gear I live for new gear, always trading something towards something. I got this about two months ago [img] |

| ___________________________________ [Sep 21,2005 8:54pm - ArrowHead ""] Heavy guitars rule. You won't be sorry. I've been playing a Paul for 11 years, and other guitars just feel like toys now. |
| __________________________________ [Sep 22,2005 1:15pm - abhorred ""] [img] got that a couple of months ago thing is fucking mean |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 22,2005 1:17pm - RustedAngel ""] abhorred said:[img] got that a couple of months ago thing is fucking mean awesome, I think I saw that but wasn't sure if it was yours. good investment! |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 22,2005 1:18pm - the_rooster ""] i just bought one of these.... [img] it's fucking awesome. don't let the looks fool you, it's exactly the same as the SG standard minus the silver pickup plates, the finish, inlays and decal on the head stock. same mahogany and construction, same pickups and electronics.... i like the natural wood finish much better anyways. and the price is drastically lower without all those needless frills. :NEWHORNS: |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 22,2005 3:18pm - niccolai nli ""] [img] [img] Just bought two of those. One I'm keeping trans black, ones to be painted trans white. [img] |
| ___________________________________ [Sep 22,2005 10:29pm - powerkok ""] I just got a whole caseful of these...... 00000000000000000000000000000000000000 |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 26,2005 8:19pm - RustedAngel ""] It has arrived, blue was right, the INF2 pickup sucks I'm going to replace it with an X2N I think: [img] [img] [img] |
| _______________________________ [Sep 26,2005 10:33pm - blue ""] try a little less output, youd be suprised. a tb-6 duncan distortion trembucker i think would be a great choice as well. |
| _____________________________________ [Sep 27,2005 9:09am - RustedAngel ""] blue said:try a little less output, youd be suprised. a tb-6 duncan distortion trembucker i think would be a great choice as well. MOREEEEEE OUTPUT!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA Although I do want a change from EMG's I still want a lot of output. I've heard a lot of people compare the X2N saying it's basically a passive emg. I'll probably try it and if I hate it I'll put something else in it. I dunno. |
