Post by robroe »

i play this thing every fucking day, and i want to get louder.


its shitty so im only going to be playing it in my room here, not on stage so it doesn't have to be MEGA CANCELING FEEDBACK XTREME or anything. i just want something that sounds nice for fucking cheap.


i didn't look at guitarfetish yet but love all thier stuff. do they sell that shit?

AND IT GIVES ME AN EXCUSE TO POST THIS NEW PHOTO OF A GUITAR PILE


its 15% more blue now that i pealed the stupid pickguard off

The dean markley "looks like wood and sticks in your soundhole" pickup sounds really good to me.

I'm not sure how cheap it is compared to other pickups, but I love my Barcus Berry Maplebar. I had to get it to play in jazz band at school because my ibanez was f'ed up, it worked just fine. It doesn't sound weird with a normal amp because it's magentic and not piezo.

checked out this page. the little skinny single coil one looks perfect.....and i think down at the bottom it has an option that it can have a 1/8" male jack coming out the other end which is perfect. fuck an real guitar cord
