One thing about good guitars, they rarely ever loose their value, most go up over time. Wish we could say that about DSMs.

If a DSM was a guitar it would break strings every two days.

If a DSM was a guitar it would break strings every two days.
We played a show one night were during the 2nd song I broke a string, grabbed another guitar quickly to finish the song, started playing again and broke a string on that one too, same song. Grabbed my 3rd guitar and made it a few more songs in and then broke a string on that one. Had to stop the show so I could restring. Rare that it happens that way, but it did. I've played many shows with out any string breakage through several shows. I don't change my strings that often. I never go out and play with less that 3 guitars.

If you've ever seen Spinal Tap, there's plenty of shit in there that any musician can relate to.

Here's a Ibanez 7-string I just came across for anybody interested. $499 plus shipping. Looks brand new. Seller might throw in the shipping cost.

Now if I could only get all my amps in one place, that would make for another awesome set of pics.
Update to thread (from the dead :wink:)

Finally got some pics of them together.

For those who are into this type of stuff, enjoy :bengals:. If not move along :p.

Cool on the modded Super Overdrive. Have you ever used a Turbo Overdrive? I don't think they make them anymore, but it's what Kurt Cobain primarily used, if you like that sound. I have one, if you want to try it out (but gotta promise to give it back!).

edit: I forgot to comment on the rest of the gear. YOU SUCK! :D I like the mesa setup with the celestian's, I bet that is a nice nice setup.

Never tried that pedal. When it comes to overdrive/distortion pedals, I'm usually disappointed because most of them sound like buzz boxes or chain saws. I like tube overdrive for the coloration it gives, the natural compression and it's smoothness over everything else. The OCD pedals are awesome, especially version 4 (actually 1.04). When needed, I use one for a slightly overdriven crunch or slight solo boost and the second one for true high gain rhythms and over the top solos. The SD-1 stock kinda sucks in my opinion, very sterile and flat sounding, no life. I would describe the overdrive as kind of dull. The Monte Allums T808 mod fixed that in a big way. Pick up a new or used SD-1 (they sell real cheap, especially used) and spend $30 on the MA T808 mod with the 2x gain switch and asymetrical/symetrical switches. I did it myself in about 2-3 hours. You won't believe the difference it made in that pedal. Monte Allums (http://www.effectmods.com/)

If you like messing with stuff, you can build your own effects pedals pretty cheaply. BYOC (http://www.buildyourownclone.com/index1.html) sells some very "top shelf" boutique pedal kits at really good prices. Their .pdf instructions are laid out very well and extremely easy to follow. I've got their phaser kit on the way. It should be fun. You can paint, powder coat, decal, and/or sticker it up yourself for a custom looking pedal.

The Bogner Uberschall is my favorite amp right now with the Soldano coming in a close 2nd.

Are you still in Core9?

Nice line up! I'm a big fan of gibson and PRS myself

No, we broke up at the end of 2005. I'm working on putting together another band right now, but finding dedicated people (who can really play) is hard to do at times.

Nice gear!

Currently I play a '76 Les Paul Deluxe through a Marshall JCM 2000 with a 1960 Lead full stack. A POD XT Live is sitting here too, but I'm not really into effects. For my birthday last year a buddy of mine gave me a Dean acoustic.

During high school I took classical guitar classes and jammed with some of the local bands. Since high school I really haven't played very much at all, just randomly here and there. Christmas before last I picked up a '98 Les Paul Classic and started to work on my chops again. Unfortunately it's been a slow process. The new house I'm buying out by the lake has a theater room, so I'm planning on getting to sit down and really bury myself in guitar for a while. I plan on selling the '76 Deluxe and buying a 1960 reissue. I just can't get away from the neck and feel of a Les Paul.

Last weekend my 8 year old daughter was asking me questions about the guitars and picked them up and played her some songs. She was so amazed that I could play.

I'm glad I saw this post, I was wanting a reason to learn another song or two. The tubes are warming as I type....

:D
