simple yet so versatile, i love my rig

The Strat back in favour Rob?

Yes, tend to favour it in recent months. Tend to use the tele for more heavy stuff.

As per other thread, China rig:

Wah arrived today. Like it. Most of the effective sweep seems to be right up at the top of the pedal, though... Seems to be a common criticism of everything that isn't a crybaby, though. I'll see how I get on with it.

I found my little Marshall practice amp I got when I first started playing. It works perfectly for practicing in the evening/night when I want a fairly neutral clean tone.

Clean sound is pretty good, the overdrive is awful but I don't need that anyway.

So my G3 arrived today. So here is my light, gigging rig:



I'm getting a better patch cable and a DC cable extender so I can just use a 2-way daisy chain.

Another picture, I might take a decent quality photo at some point.

Finally getting back to some songwriting. Miss playing live too much, and want to play some new stuff.

i'd really love to try that hagstrom. looks amazing and i'll bet it's great on a crunchy amp.

whats the keyboard, it looks similar to my R3, if so how do you find it?

Yep the Hagstrom is fast becoming my favourite guitar. It's really nice with the Deluxe Reverb, but it but it'd be excellent with an AC15 or low-wattage Marshall.

Chris, the keyboard is the Korg R3. I'm not digging too many of the presets, but some can be butchered into useable sounds. It's probably my fault though, as I've not really read the manual. The keys themselves are nice.

i've butchered most of my presets as well due to lack of patch storage spaces. There is a lot to play about with on the sounds as well and you can get some really cool sounding stuff. The vocoder part is pretty neat as well. I like the action of the keyboard as well, like you said it feels nice.

This is the newest thing i've acquired. It was modded by the tone doctor in Houston. I use it for recording but my friend that had it before me used it live also. It's filthy sounding and it doesn't clean up at all, which is perfect for what i wanted. I was after different. I also have a older mesa subway rocket and i find the mesa does most things well. This pignose brings something totally different to the table. Sometimes it sounds like it's on fire. I dig it. Yesterday we picked up some odd pieces of gear from a friend who was needing money. I'll post pics soon. We got a few teisco and lipstick pickups from the early 60's and a electro harmonix muff fuzz. The thing that sucks is the muff fuzz didn't work like it was supposed to. The battery got real hot and it works in the off position and doesn't in the on. It's a strange little box and i had never heard of it. The guy said he bought it in '71. I may ask for some advice if anyone is familiar with these. I think they are rare. I think they predate most common stomp boxes. He also was supposed to bring a script phase 90 from the 70's and said he forgot it. I'd like to pick that up also.

^^ I've also got a G40V. It was in the classifieds, looked interesting, was reasonably priced, and I needed it for a last minute show. Bought it, used it once for the show, and now it just hangs out in the studio.

Anyway, here's the fraternal twins!

This is what i've been using recently, never thought i'd go back to using so much Boss but i'm liking them - 3 of them have been modded though.

Wasn't sure if I'd shown this anywhere yet.

CAB! It's a Zilla 2x12. I got it made with feet on the side so I can stand it up. I'm waiting on an Eminence Swamp Thang and Wizard speakers to load it up with. Then I'm probably going to retolex the head to match the cab because I like MATCHING SETS. And the tweed is wank.

This setup is so incredibly awesome! I'd rock the crap out of that.
