Dwarftcraft Devices EAU CLAIRE THUNDER
- This was actually awesome and made RobOG's jag fucking slay ass. TRANSFORMED the jag plingplang brightass twanger style pickups into FULL BAWS FUZZ ATTACK. luved it.

ElectroHarmonix VoiceBox

- FUUUUUUUUUU. i can't stop making dick joek

Danelectro Baritone that had some cow look to it
- WHAT THE FUCK, i played this shit for liek FOREVER in guitar center pissing the fuck out of them. has a varitone that seems like it's switchable in/out of circuit. three lipstick pupz. MAZIN'. it was maybe $275. played nice for a danelectro ( i usually haet their feel).

Fender Bassman reissue combo

- this amp sonded interesting with the baritone, but suffered from FUCKING AMPFARTZ past about halfway up the volume. not loud enough.

PRS Mira with '57 PAF (pafff) pickups

- James handed me this and i played it through bassmans reissue. the sales guy came in and started talking SHIT about how paul reed smith bought out a bunch of the original wire and shit from the PAF place or whatever to make these pickups. I DIDN'T GIVE A SHIT. the hilarious thing is that he actually pronounced P.A.F. as "pafff". luckily i'm a nice guy IRL and didn't turn the amp back up in his face. faggnut. The guitar played ok, but was too expensive for a guitar that doesn't suck me off.

I always thought you could say 'pafff' for P.A.F. pickups. It's one of those things you see written-down alot, but rarely said.

Unless you're talking to NERDS!

Orange AD30
- I played this through an Orange 4x12. i tried so hard to like it and even hooked fucking pedals to it, but it was pretty much shit.

Marshall Vintage Modern 100watt head
- played through Orange 4x12, had really good cleans, and a kinda nice dirty to it, but with the shared EQ, it's tough to get the sondz right. something is gonna be too bassy, something is gonna be too thin etc....

Epiphone So-Cal 50
- Fuck. This was seriously the best amp I played during the entire Broefest. I am not shitting you, sounded great. Played through orange 4x12.

Gibson Flying V Faded
- Felt and played good, but these pickups need to chill the fuck out.

Epiphone Les Paul Custom
(white)
- Playability sucked a little, but maybe due to old strangz. get a goth!

BASSMAN TV 15"

brand new. i think im the first one to ever plug it in since it took the guy at HOG 20 minutes to find a cord. it uses a computer cord.

ANYWAYS THIS THING IS 350 FUCKING WATTS AND ITS NOT LOUD AT ALL. I WAS FUCKING SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF IT WITH MY EARS ON THE CASE AND TRYING TO GET INTO THE FEEL OF A 15" BASS AMP KICKING MY ASS WITH 350 WATTS BUT IT SOUNDED LIKE A 40 WATT SS PRACTICE AMP. WTFZZZZZ

PISSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ITS SO HUGE AND I WANTED IT SO BAD BUT THE COUGAR 1000 IS LIKE 50 TIMES LOUDER AND HAS BETTER MIDS (cuz its not a bass amp)

i tried it out with a MG65 mustang just like mine in DBL.

you could get shit shaking with the guitar if you turned down all the tone on the guitar and the H and M on the amp with the L up. thats about it though. this thing sucks for guitars. no ballz.



FENDER BASS V

found this fucking thing just laying around down in the amp room next to a LPB strat. it was oly white with matching headstock. the strings were old as fuck, it didn't have any tension on the strings either.....i was just noodling around with it. robOG actually got the thing in tune without breaking it. the thing belongs in a fucking museum not the basement at the HOG. it was solid as fuck. not as heavy as i thought it would be. the thing has a fucking strap peg on the back of the headstock so you can play willie nelson style with it apparently. i cant believe HOG has 3 of these fucking things. there are probably only like 300 ever made or some crazy shit. no idea what it cost.....didn't ask. if if it was something retarded like 20,000 i would have put it down alot sooner than i did. loved it.


EPIPHONE FADED WILSHIRE RI

this is the new one with the mini humbuckers. thing is like twice as heavy as my other wilshires. diddn't really like the finish. it was really dark grey with a tiny bit of green. it was like they were trying to re create the color "silver fox" and fucked it up. didn't plug it in. played just like my other ones that cost 100 less.

robs stuff.
cougar-
i actually liked the sound of it, not bad at all, you guys may give his amp shit, but it sounded really good!
duocaster-
the thing was badass, it looks cool as balls, and the feel of it was like a viking ship!
bronco-
this may be my fav guitar in his collection, very cool, even with the added contours and bad sanding mistakes from the previous owner, i wish it had a trem arm....
mustang bass-
felt like every other mustang bass i have playd, b'dass
HOG stuffs
bass V-
i was kinda underwelmed with it, something to note, the tuners go backwards, odd, but they were stock, it had a crazy big neck feel to it and felt kinda un-balanced to me
BC RICH!-
i was impressed with this bc rich guitar that james found, the build quility was superb and made me want to look further into the bc rich line
gibson flying v-
there was almost no neck taper to it, and the pups were,,,,, fucking weird, way to close to the strings and no real deffinition to the overal sound, but that may have also been something with the amp we were using(orange)
james and i messed around with a load of fender basses and oddly enough we both prefered the jap fretless jazz bass to just about anything else in that place.
