Yep, mostly a LesPaul Standard through a Mesa Rectoverb, but I also have a Strat, Tele, PRS McCarty, and another LesPaul with P-90's. Also have a Marshall DCM-2000 50 Watt head, but mostly just play the LP through the Recto.
It's the only hobby I've spent more money on than target shooting. |

Guitar player reporting for duty, sir. Seems like no matter how much money I spend on better equipment, it still doesn't make me play better. . .[BD]

Fender Strat & BC Rich Eagle neck-through.
50 Watt Peavey and 50 Watt Marshall. Assorted pedals. Mostly like playing Blues, but lately getting into a little jazz. Damn, that stuff is hard to play. Yeah with all the rain I've been playing a lot. |

Guess I've picked a few strings in my life.
Guitars are like guns, if you can tell someone how many you have, you don't have enough. Tj |

Tubes are the only way to go. Just make sure they are biased correctly to really get the volume out of them.
I have an Ibanez Artist from 1980 with Duncans front and rear. I love the thing, weighs about 13lbs but sounds thick. For amperage I have a Marshall JMP-1 midi controlled preamp running through a BOSS SE70 effects processor, also midi controlled, into a Carvin all tube 100 watt amp and a Carvin 4x12 with Celestions. My bandmate used a Mesa Rectifier and the two amps sounded really good together. Of course I haven't hardly picked the thing up in a couple years. Too much time spent on this damned computer. [:(] |

Been playing a long time. (crap, closing in on 20 years!)
Got a few axes. Charvel Model 4 - mod 80's vintage - good "metal" guitar Fender Mexican Tele - hot pickups, otherwise stock Yamaha CGX Classical (nylon string) Taylor 814C - the finest piece of wood I own Fender super 60 amp - 60 watts of pure tube smoothness GK 250ML - AKA "Lunchbox from HELL" Great little amp with some serious crunch and a cool, shimmery stereo sound. Lately I have been playing nothing but classical and bluesy stuff. I have played a lot of different styles over the years, and have greatly simplified my signal path (i.e. thrown out most of my pedals/effects). I play mostly for enjoyment and the occasional jam session. Geoff |

Just started playing.
Rickenbacher 330 and Bedrock 1202 Guitar was payment for a totaled scooter. Bedrock was found at a pawn shop, sold the Fender hot rod deluxe. I really like the vintage British amps, like the Orange. |

Les Paul Custom (Black Beauty) played through a Digitech RP1 modulater (also black) and amplified by a Fender Utra Chorus (yes, it's black too).
I have yet to see another Ultra Chorus. All of the ones I have seen are now called "Ultimate Chorus"...I get the impression that they stepped on someones toes by using the "Utra Chorus" name...LOL |

It's interesting... I constantly see guitar-related posts here, but I don't think I've ever seen posts from keyboardists, drummers, etc. Do guitars and guns have some sort of cosmic connection or something?
BTW, for me it's Carvin guitars all the way. And I play through a Line6 Vetta Combo amp... no tubes in there, just a computer with a power amp and speakers (now, where did I put my asbestos suit?). :-) --Mike |

We opened up for SRV and I had the pleasure of watching him play from about 10 feet away. Do I need to say how much emotion, expression, passion and knowlage of the instrument I witnessed that night. It was a spiritual awakening. I do play a Strat through an ADA programable tube preamp, Alesis quadraverb and a Mesa Boogie 50/50 tube amp. Its a stereo setup that I plug into a pair of 2-12 50 watt Celestion loaded vertical cabinets. It is a great sounding rock setup but it cant pump out that great blues tone like a Fender twin. I have a Charvel/Jackson Model 6 from [i]my[/i] short lived heavy metal days. [:D] |

I'll never forget watching SRV play it was all you described and more. My seats were off to the side of the stage so I got to see him pretty close up . I sat there in awe of his masterful playing. One of the highlites of my life. Wish I had that show on tape it was smokin. [/b] |

Why is it that my two favorite hobbies, guns and guitars, are the most expensive hobbies ever? Damn.

Charvel 550XL
Jackson USA made "kelly"...similar in shape to the Gibson explorer. All I have for amplification right now is my digitech GSP-2101 Artist.. Saving up for a VHT Pitbull Ultralead.. American hand made botique amps are the best! |

Check out the cover of Nugent's "Weekend Warriors" album. BTW, I have an Ovation Celebrity (in Cherry Burst) and a Cort Artisan B4 bass that I mess around with. Wouldn't dare to call myself a musician, but I have fun. |

gibson SG with X2N pickup thru a line6 podpro rackmount thru the mixer and pa system...
did the whole tube amp thing with the marshall stacks and hughes & kettners but it's much easier to gig with a rackmount unit... hell, the podpro gives me all the gain i need and i don't have to mess around with a stack...

(we're currently working on our third album) here's me with my gibson... [img]http://deathsquad.home.mindspring.com/proto.jpg[/img] our touring vehicle...

Those are some good posts.
Ratters that post of yours with the cheap Squire / solid state practice amp was the funniest damnned thing I've read on this board in months. I"m glad to know guns and guitars go together so well. And yes I miss SRV also. If anybody needs to know what a good Fender tube amp sounds like cranked to the max, just listed to him.. P.S. If you're interested in anything Fender, you should check out fenderforum.com. |
