there has been a lot of boggies sent this way regarding gibson guitars... however my collection of em are all bang on, and the ORIGINAL r9 sold... by yours truly, was origanlly 5,999.00 in a light hertigae burst and it was liking pulling teeth to get it and to sell it but it played really well...
hey classic 30 is a cracking good amplifier, dont know what they retail in dollors but they only 499euro, and a cracking buy you'd have cash over for some new effects or maybe try buying an aditional 2x12 cab maybe
people people people . . . . the ROGER MAYER SPITFIRE - X, i have always relied on the distortion i get from my jcm2000dsl head until i got the roger mayer. Seriously supprised they aint had a mention yet
yeah i'd agree on this one, it should always be tuner / distortion / modulation wha can go in after tuner, an eq pedal is a handy thing to have if add more modulation effects
hope this one helps ya out:fingersx:
I hav tried them briely i found they lost tone after one gig, i used the ghs sub zero boomers for a good while and never had a problem... i have however changed recently to dunlops KFK signature strings, they're only available in 11's but they bend and got the flexability of a set of 10's...
I'll second that, worked in irelands largest music store for several years and we sold most brands, the peavey classic 30 is without a doubt the best bang for your buck tube amp you'll get
hey ya'll doin, here's my two sents....
The lead guitarist in a band i play in tried a messa boogie dual rectifier... complete pile of shit.. he had 3 of them and had to bring them back within weeks with faulty transformers...
for that metal sound without using stomp boxes i would go a...
i recently refitted my old epiphone dot (es335 copy) with some hand wired pickups complements of Mr. k.w . . .
got any pics of the top on that thing???
les pauls weren't much better, but weight was better distributed. i thought the necks just felt plastic, it reminded me of a brand of guitars called switch. they are a massive dissapointment for something with gibson & les paul on the headstock
Any of you guys got or tried out a gibson robot guitar recently, i've tried a few different models and could not see what all the fuss was about... what do you lads n lassie's think of them
a les paul is a very versatile axe, amps work the same way... i personaly use a marshall jcm200 dsl100 valve head into i marshall 1960a cab with 4*12" celestion greenbacks. before that i used a create vtx combo, but marshall valve amps are the best way to go in my opinion
hey man,
depends on what sort of sound ya wanna go with, i throw my LP Std into a marshall jcm200dsl + 4*12 celestion greenbacks in my cab.. but only cause i could afford one at the time. If you looking for something good and road worthy i would have to say a peavey classic 30 but thats just...
pics are on the way shortly, dont worry you guys will be the first the get a gander... the finish is a wee bit lighter than the usuall heritage cherry, but the sound and playability is balls on, first gibson i've gotton that i haven't had to adjust slighty from factory set up. in saying that...
