How Good Are Your Ears? Round 2 – Guess My Gear - Page 3

Thumpalumpacus · 06-15-2012, 08:44 PM

Argh. Again.

Skintaster · 06-15-2012, 08:48 PM

I must have terrible ears. I was as wrong as a person can be! Enjoyed this "test" though.

wreckingball · 06-15-2012, 08:57 PM

I got one stinkin' thing right (besides obvious chorus)...pickup selector in middle position...that's it! ..arrhgg ...

Maybe next time.

Thumpalumpacus · 06-15-2012, 11:25 PM

The one detail I got right, that it was a Roland chorus, I deleted. God, I'm so full of fail, I pulled fail out of win.

I really cannot make a conclusion, but I am taking a shot in the dark at gibson and a random amp, maybe a marshall.

edit: and it does appear to have some chorus on the guitar, which would complicate things further.

Do I at least get a cookie? I said probably a humbucker Gibson, and did mention a chorus effect.

(heck, I even said random amp, which would be the mesa.

)

probably Ernie Ball Super Slinkys – .08s, etc

7gtop · 06-16-2012, 08:56 AM

Well alrighty then .............

I did'nt get a chance yesterday ,but the EB bass was my only
non - obscure-type option .

The earlier Mesa Mark's certainly had the "balack-face" character .
So I don't feel that "rattled"

Not really surprised....... yet , quite elated that I'm not racking my
brain on this wonderful torture.

Again......... Well done Ray.

..... now about that (3rd Tone-Taste) .........

can't F'n .. W A I T .

Ray Ray Rayster. For shame! Withholding that kind of pertinent info. That's called stackin' the deck my friend.

I hoped you've learned a valuable lesson here. Maybe NEXT time you'll think twice young man!

coldsteal2 · 06-16-2012, 09:39 AM

humbucker

I know, right? I was told throughout schooling that you shouldn't change the answers when you're taking a test; that your initial answer is far more likely to be correct.

Normally I pay attention to that voice.

Now, I get to repent in leisure, and publicly.
