Hiya,

I am a happy man now! Just picked up my Digitech 2101 studio tube amp and it rocks! New groove tubes in there... latest software... artist update.... killer sound! Am going to have my Ibanez pups replaced by either Dimarzio's or EMG's.... and hey presto... Gave it a test run using my old Charvel 4 series with an Dimarzio Tone Zone in the bridge and a Chopper for a neck pickup.. and it kicks some serious ass! What kinda gear do you guys on the list use? And I am not talking about smoking it...

ummm, well i have a line6 guitar port

and a behringer v-amp bass pro

along with a quadraverb and a couple of other rack fx/compressors/gates

very studio-oriented as you can see...

oh, and i borrowed a zoom 1201 guitar fx rack last week but i've yet to plumb it in to the rack.

the rest of the racket comes from VSTi instruments (NI battery, NI absynth 2, novation v-station, etc etc etc)

Geetars:
1. Epi Sheraton semi (customised with high output Kent Armstrong pick-ups).
2. Epi Gothic Explorer (my newest purchase).
3. Yamaha 'Pacifica' 12 string (belongs to Ed Rhombus really, but he lets me use it at gigs.)

Amp:
Laney 'Linebacker' 100W stereo chorus.

Effects:
1. Boss 'Metal Zone'
2. Ibanez dig delay
3. flanger pedal

A 60's Stratocaster.
A Pod.

Digitech 2101 artist
Digitech gsp21 legend
Korg dtr2 tuner
Digitech WH1 whammy pedal
Rocktron Rampage distotion pedal
Rocktron hush pedal
H&K attax 200 comco
Boss FC50 footswitch
Ibanez Rg 570
Charvel 4 series (with Dimarzio pickups)

Also a Korg x5 for them synth sounds.....

And of course a Rocktrom Midimate....

Is it me..... or is it really that te more lights you've got in yer rack... the better it sounds?*grins*

christmas lighting.... backed up by tubes..hehe

Given most of it away but still have an Ibanez AxeStar bass, Coron SuperFuzz and a Session combo.

Bontempi Stylaphone (Rolf Harris limited addition, batteries now dead - but original).

on the geetar front i have a red (with white scratch plate) "squire" telecaster and a cheapo copy of a fender p-bass.

i find it dunt make much difference once its been through THAT amount of fx

that said, the tele' copy is really nice for those intricate spindly goth riffs (think flood II) and the bass plays like a growly motherf*cker from hell when hit just right (think stranglers)

i have always fancied a thunderbird bass though

i await padstar's and ed rhombus' input with baited breath - be prepared to be in awe

You're just too nice to people QB. Far too nice.

ooof, this one:



vintage sunburst. very similar to mr bass smurphs, i believe...?

perfect for slinging around the waist, bending over and hitting E very, very fast

but i saw a band a while ago and the bass player had a white one which was pretty special...

any one except the nikki sixx one!

we have a burns 60's bass, baldwin 70's 12 string, baldwin semi.. umm not an expert so think thats right.. and another electric one i dont know what make.. and acoustic...
they're not mine, obviously...

Sorry QB, the wrong answer.
This is the first temple of bass I worshipped at -

BC Rich Bich guitar
Washburn something or other bass
Aria 6 string electro-acoustic

3 distortion pedals, a chorus and an echo. What more do you need?

Oh and loads of software and stuff that I ahve no idea how to use yet.

You could do a whole lot worse than Mr. (shades with everything) Hunter, he has written some classics, I look forward to a review.

What is this attraction with singers who wear shades 24/7?
