PoolHaddock Posted March 6, 2006 Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 I see peeriebryan has started a bass thread, so I thought it wid only be right if I started a guitar thread. What du you hay and play? I am just gotten a lovely Ibanez JS1000, with a nice warm bluesy tone on the neck pickup, and a very fat, crisp soond on the bridge een. I also have a Strat and a Moon guitar. The Moon has a ridiculously good action, and an incredibly fast neck, perfect for speedy playing.

PoolHaddock Posted March 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2006 No no, It's a black "heavy metal" moon. It's got an original floyd rose with 2 dimarzio humbuckers. It's not a bonny guitar, but it is like nothing else i've ever played in terms of set-up and neck profile. I found it in a peerie guitar shop in Glasgow and, believe it or not, the guy didna really keen what it was! (or so it seemed....I kept my mouth shut!) He had just teen it on a part exchange fae a young boy who had got it custom made (based around an ibanez), but had "more money than wit". I got it really cheap, then I took it along Jimmy Moon, who said that the pickups and bridge alone were worth more than I got it for. I think it was maybe about a couple o years old when I got it. It was just a young guy who served me in the shop, it wasna the guy that was normally there......I think it was on Cathcart Road???? but I might be wrong, I got it when I was in the Mid Yell School......then I broke my fingers! I'm just noticed that yin was dy 300th post......congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoolHaddock Posted March 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 Yeah, I think it was Southside Music I got it fae. I've no been there fir years. Is it still got every available inch covered with guitars at reasonable prices, or have they turned more commercial? The wan that I always visit whenever I'm in Glasgow is Merchant City Music. The staff are friendly and the prices are really good. On a different note, I've just found this ebay shop that offer ernie balls (and may other kinds) at about £3 a set. They are based in America, but it seems to be a UK branch of the company. If you choose the buy it now option, you get free postage.They do aa kind o strings. I've no actually bought any strings fae them yet, but when I start tae run low, I might weel try them. http://stores.ebay.co.uk/MusicWonderland-UK Oh, they do leads and idder things as weel.

peeriebryan Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 i have a rickenbacker 650A, turquoise glitter solid body, thru-neck. lovely.It is indeed lovely. But the torturous screams that you force from it are blood curdling Do you only have two distortion pedals Distortio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distortio Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 ooh, thanks. 2 distortions and an overdrive. and the drive on the amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 im down to only having 2 guitars A Dean guitar...no idea what model, but looks like the new Gibsons that are just plain wooden bodies...and a vintage PRS lookie likey...bit boring now compared to like my old ones, eg Gibson SG Gothic...oh the sweet sweet sound of metal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolHaddock Posted March 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Just minded aboot my idder een. It's an old Jim Deacon, set up by jimmy moon dat I got fir my 12th Birthday or something. It's a copy of a music man. It's been in da laft but I just looked it out....I'd forgotton how good it is. It's the only een I hay wee a fixed bridge, so it is good for slow crushing d-tuned riffs. I think I might stick a set of new pickups in it, anybody tried or got yin bareknuckle warpig pickups? They get rave reviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbarityShommarity Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I have an ibanez rg550 coupled wi' a jcm900 stack.Heavy to lug aboot but worth it.I use a jim dunlop wah,that's my only effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoolHaddock Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 ^Ooooh, yins basically my dream set-up. I'm lookin' intae gettin' a new amp, the TSL-602 combo. Great soond, and easier tae lug aroond than a stack. I've aye wanted een o' yin jim dunlop wah's (especially the crybaby from hell model). Since I've discovered the glories of ebay, I've really hed tae refrain fae goin guitar crazy.... sometimes I've even had tae chloroform mysel near the end of an auction for various les pauls.

peeriebryan Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 (** mod edit - taken from another thread **) ok ,since there are so many guitar players in shetland lets hear what kind you have and what youd like to have and whats the best in your view? ive tried a few in my time, martins,gibsons,yamaha etc but the one that id like to own would be a gibson hummingbird,or a martin d-45,how about you? I have a squire, but Pacifica's are the best guitar in my opinion. Quality and value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
