i got a firebird for $250AU :D

i was changing the strings and the nut came out :?
im not sure if this is normal for epiphones because this is my first.

i like the action, neck and tones from selector but the lack or contour and wierd weighht distribution put me off.

was hella dirty but after a good clean it looked like this

Image

i plan to get a tort pickguard, gold hardware and maybe a maestro trem.

its got mini hbs so im a bit confused on what to replace them with

i dont think they make them like this anymore.

last summer i teamed up with an old high school friend for heavium, he had a red epi firebird, they're nice guitars..tho i can't really stand epi's that much... i thought it sounded a bit dull clean, but alright with a heavy distortion box (he was using a tRex dr. swamp)
i think he got sick of it after two weeks :roll:

Glue the nut in with some Elmer's. Not a big deal.

Use a Bigsby not a Maestro.

GFS, DiMarzio, Scumbag Duncunt all make mini-humbuckers.

yeah i got laid off so i didn't have any income coming in for a couple weeks, so i sold off some pedals.

i hadn't planned on getting a bp-1 but it was too good of a deal to pass up. luckily it sounds nothing like the albini demo.

i only got to play it for about 30 minutes before my ampeg shit a brick...my tremolux needs servicing too. the only amp i have that works right now is a dano honeytone. :lol:


good to see another heatmiser fan. 8)

i really don't know how albini managed to get the bp-1 to sound so bad.

from what little i've heard of the original HP...i don't think they sound the same...i do think that the added features to the bp-1 changed the way it responds. that said, i still like it a lot. i didn't get a chance to spend a lot of time with it though, since my last working amp died while I was trying it out.

its a little darker than i was expecting, but sounds great stacked with the trebly memphis distortion. the harmonics really stand out and sustained notes have lots of movement.

with my cyclone i was tapping the trem springs on the back of the body and holding a chord and it was coming through fairly loudly with the bp-1.....i'd hit the body of the guitar with the side of my hand and get cymbal crash like sounds. lots of random weird stuff....but thats why i like it so much.

I find it funny you have all the Boss Overdrives I hate and not the one I think is brilliant - the OD-3.

Dad: "Where's all my gaffer tape kid? What have you done with it all?"

Kid: "I was covering up the names of my pedals so noone would see what effects I'm using. It's all about intrigue and style, Dad".

Dad: "..."






TWO WEEKS LATER






Mum: "Your father and I are getting divorced, also you're adopted".
