"Guitar Chat"

Hey, if anyone wants to chat about anything to do with guitars come in here. Guitar is my life (along with a few other things like family etc.) so i thought it was appropriate to put it in here. So how many people play the guitar and what you got?

hi, i play a B.C.Rich mockingbird NJ series, i love rock music, i don't know that many people who play a B.C.Rich though, if you do just say

Big 'm***s' are cool. I have a Boss Distortion/overdrive peddle its really cool. Must have been great playing in front of so many people - were you scared? I really want an SG Gothic. Probably get the epiphone version. I also want to get a Digital delay peddle (Boss DD5) and a wah peddle.

I was lucky enough to play in the Millennium Stadium opening for the Manics on Dec 31st 1999 with Nicky Wire's brother, Patric Jones. The music itself was basically some bloke ranting poetry over tunes, but it was real fun.

I wrote one of the pieces of music he ranted over and got £800 just in PRS for that one performance!

60,000! Where?

Hmmm... I have

1983 Gibson SG Standard (Cherry)
USA Fender Strat (Black)

Both with stock pick ups.

And

Mesa Engineering Dual Rectifier Solo Head
Marshall 4x12 Cab with replacement Celestion Vintage Speakers

Ummm...

1970's Ibanez TS-9 Tube Screamer (Green and sounds like a dream)
Boss DD5 Digital Delay
Jim Dunlop Wah modified by Roger Mayer (Hendrix's tech)
Roger Mayer Voodoo Vibe (Trem/Vibrato/Chorus)
Bigg 'M**f' Pi Russian Version
Arion Stage Tuner (couldn't do without it)

Been playing for 11 years now. Mainly influenced by Neil Young, Zeppelin, Nirvana and some others. Have played to 1 person have played to 60,000 people. Playing the guitar rocks.

Oh yeah I snip my strings cos they're annoying otherwise.

excellent work

Oh yeah, I'll get that working too ^_~
Come to think of it, the missus does normally start shouting and screaming when I've got a guitar in my hands but the volume is usually up so much that I can't hear her.

yes but what about the guitar? ;)

'Tis (or was) a really nice guitar, been moved around and stored in the wrong type of places for too long. Paint's cracking but that isn't much of a problem. One of the pivots for the floydy has somehow got pulled away from it's seating completely knackering the action, the wiring (which was never done professionally) needs redoing, they didn't use shielded wire so that sort of defeats the point of a Humbucker and some of the connections have broken.

I'll get it sorted soon enough and get the b1tch screaming again.

thats sounds a messed up axe dude
