Pedal board! TS9 & mxr dynacomp are probably the heaviest used in there, although the Hardwire delay is extraordinarily good too.

Didn't plan to buy anything, but picked up this second hand HSS Mex Strat today. Bit battered, but plays/sounds great! Apologies for the poor quality pic...

Something you dont see everyday. Owned a green one of these years ago, sold it & regretted it ever since. They never come up for sale, anyone cut along story short,couldnt belive it when one came up, guy didnt want to sell overseas but I sweet talked him into it. Guild Crossroads, designed by slash, from the guild custom shop. Dont make them anymore which is a shame, its a beast, and a guitar you can truly do 12 string acoustic & electric. Obviously played knockin on heavens door quite a bit..hotel california/wanted dead or alive...and dare i Say it...stairway. Great guitar build quality is great, such a shame they dont do them anymore.

Pic doesnt show it very well, but thin mat lacquer & aged hardware. I will never buy a les paul again Nik Huber is way ahead, try one  Epic win. Stunning! Well Done.

The chap at my local studio has one in natural wood finish and i had a little play once. I keep asking him if he will sell it to me. It's a lovely guitar

My current fretless bass (actually, my only bass at the moment), a Fender USA Jaco Pastorius fretless jazz bass with Classic pickups. From New York to Hungary, and then to me in England!

It's a lovely guitar I know it's a personal, subjective thing but IMO if you got hold of one you wouldn't regret it. I still can't believe how fantastic this thing feels and sounds. I traded an 09 Fender Tele Standard against it which I can now say in comparison was truly horrible. Never thought I'd have said that.

I always keep an eye out for one and would snap one up if i saw one

6th Gear said: When I was recently shopping for a guitar after my 20 year hiatus I looked as LP and PRS in particular. In the end I went for the LP, though I found the PRS very close in terms of sound (and perhaps more bright on a clean channel). Genuine question: why have 2xLP and 2XPRS - its it just for the love of guitars (I understand the want) or do you generally find the sound very different, or playability? cheers

cheers If it was simple playability I suspect you'd only have one. But if it is different tunings, string gauges, pickups etc then it all makes sense. Either that or it's a bad case of GAS

Justin Cyder said: Actually no. I've picked up a Boss JS8, which is an mp3 player with a bunch of Boss effects built in. It's a really good bit of kit. Essentially you play over tracks, you can loop track sections & slow them down and remove the guitar parts, so for example, working out a tricky solo is perfect for this. On that particular vid, I recorded it in one go, then thought it was a bit off, so I re -recorded the audio but couldn't be bothered to rerecord the video, so I just synced it up in windows movie maker, which is why the solo doesn't match up to the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZX6R-IxaVaIJustin - we touched on this (JS8) in the cheap hobbies thread yesterday and when I got home I had a nice cheque waiting for me. So I've got the funds, but looking at youtube vids last night I couldn't see anything to make me think that the e-band would be much use for a beginner. Some bloke playing the trooper by maiden on it just scared the living daylights out of me! What do you think, is it worth investing in one so early in the learning curve? Cheers

I'm a bit partial since I've got neighbours both sides, so generally speaking, cranking up an amp & wigging out is not an option for me & even playing relatively quietly after 6-7pm is not really on.
What I like about the thing is you can plug a pair of headphones in & play along in silence effectively as far as your neighbours are concerned anyway.
It comes with a bunch of preloaded tunes to practice with in all kinds of styles, but you can also load songs on, so if for example you wanted to learn the solo for stairway, load it in, play along.
You can also slow songs down, loop sections you want to practice, cut out the existing guitar line & record the results. Also chucked in are a whole bunch of guitar effects & those can be programmed too.
So, I'm a big fan. My practice routine - at least the play along side of it anyway has gone up a good few hundred percent since I bought one, but as ever, the thing to do is wander down to the guitar shop & have a poke & a prod, see what you think.
Also, don't work for Boss, Roland or anyone close to them - I just like the thing!
