Post by: PoshCollins on January 30, 2008, 09:45:33 PM: Project your current G.A.S related thoughts here.

I don't know whether to go for a Mesa boogie MK IV head and Mesa 4x12 or go with Noodle's advice and go for an Engl Powerball. G.A.S has struck again.

Post by: sambo on January 30, 2008, 11:36:48 PM: I love the look of those Mira's Phil, really stunning. One in that colour, alongside your green SG-X would make an amazing looking duo.

I'm currently gasing for a Tele. Probably Fender Lite Ash or an old MIJ Fender if I can find a decent one.
Title: the G.A.S Thread
Post by: Philly Q on January 30, 2008, 11:54:34 PM: Hmmm, not a bad thought Sam, a dynamic duo of a metallic mint Mira and my army green SG-X... I do like the transparent orange as well though, and as Fernando says black would look cool.

Still, this is just fantasising. I need to sell a couple of other guitars to justify that kind of spending.

I'd quite like black with a black pearl pickguard. And I might replace the 3-way switch/mini-switch with a 5-way super-switch.

Well, I never even tried VH2s, but Jonathan Feline reckons they sound great in a Korina V - which is enough of an endorsement for me as i'm listening to alot of van halen at the moment and quite like his tone these days. Equally Tim suggested me Rebel Yells to go in my next V.

I would put double creme cold sweats or miracle men in your sunburst V though ;)

Next 18months

I want to save and get a PRS CU or CE 22/24
and a really nice head, something bigger that'll sound like a big amp but great at lower volume. Perhaps one of these new power scaled amps.

more pedals and pedal board.

Longer term I'd love a semihollow 335 or 339 type guitar and a more modern guitar like an ibanez. Id also love another strat like Jimi's 70's style headstock would be good with apaches

And then this will follow.

I also have (as always) amp GAS. The Ceriatone Overtone is seriously tempting. And I fancy another Bogner, probably a Duende.

Plus a TC Electronics G System is on order.

David Gilmour and Eric Johnson Rosewood Strat GAS may be ignited at some point in the future, just as soon as both are released.

It's beautiful. :) But... I'd rather have the bog-standard one. That's what I like about the Mira, it doesn't have the quintuple-A flame top, bird inlays and all that gubbins.

Not slagging off PRS, but I always preferred the plain-jane models like the Standard. I'm an SG/Melody Maker/Junior kind of guy.

I don't want to put words in Nick's mouth, but I don't think he's saying it isn't any good.

Just that it's not the kind of guitar you take to Jam Night at Bob's Country Bunker. Hence the "wall hanger".

I'm sure its a darned nice guitar to play but isn't the price tag of £10,000 more to do with novelty more than anything else?

For example lets take a PRS 513. I'm not sure of the top of my head how much it is but wouldn't the difference really come from the PRS novelty?

I really cant believe your saying that when you actually played one or more!

Sorry, but thats my honest opinion anyway..... Maybe a bit overreacting though... :oops:

What I meant is I Personally do not have the cash for a PS to play like I would play it, just bit too steep for me. They ARE the dawgs dangly bits, just more than would spend for a 'player' :)

I'm sure its a darned nice guitar to play but isn't the price tag of £10,000 more to do with novelty more than anything else?

For example lets take a PRS 513. I'm not sure of the top of my head how much it is but wouldn't the difference really come from the PRS novelty?

Just simply NO!

PRS are without a doubt some of the best made, with most care/attention production guitars out there. Some have more of a niche following (say Swamp Ash Special and 513) but NONE are novelty's, thats Hello Kitty you are thinking of.

the 10,000 price tag (which is'nt right imo (although am in Texas right now and not back in UK, although that does sound high even with the NASTY way some stuff is hiked in UK) is more to do with it being ONE off, Handmade, Custom, TOP materials for everything and (have to say it) collectability.

Although they are possibly the most beautiful guitars ever made - Most amazing finishes ever made, and some of the best inlay work ever conceieved.

its all a lot easier when its made by robots you know (insert 'intensely jealous that i cant quite afford an inlay robot just yet' smiley here)

:lol: Hello Kitty.

Maybe I'm just ignorant but how could you possibly whack the price up to around £10,000? My first thoughts were possibly the fact of it being limited to 10 or something like that =P or perhaps the rarest elephant trunk for Tuning pegs.

I see it as more as of a piece of art hence why I think people would possibly G.A.S about it. I'm sure its a lovely guitar just not everyones cup of tea.

In Texas is it about $10,000?

Not really the way PRS do things... infact if those dragons where done by hand they would be much more expensive than they are already. I think even the original dragon in 1992 was done on CNC... CNC has got easier, better and cheaper though whilst doing it by hand is still an expensive, slow skill very few people have.

I dunno though, maybe if you requested to have the guitar sent to grit laskin or larry robinson PRS would oblige

That one is stunning!

I've played a few Private Stocks and limited edition PRSi (about 40) - a very good friend of mine has one of the biggest collections of PRSi in the country - around 80. These include many of the Private Stocks in the PRS guitar book (including PS No. 86 which I think it one of the most stunning guitars I have ever seen and a large body hollow body - only 2 were ever built and Joe Knaggs is on record as saying these are the best guitars he has ever built).

I've played some that have absolutely floored me (PS 288 springs to mind - that is the best guitar I have ever played) but some that make you wonder that other than the pretty top, what are you getting that is better than a stock one? Another friend of mine had a PS Custom 24 that was a dog of a guitar. Tonally dead.

Myself, I have a Signature and I am happy with that.

If you look at the values that many go for in the UK, second hand around £3k - £4k for a private sale and around £3.5 - £6 for shop sales. As with any guitar though, if you are serious about spending that sort of money try before you buy, and be 100% sure you want it.

Also new Private Stock guitars do not make good investments either. Expect around £2 to £3k of the value to be wiped off immediately. Long term, well personally I don't expect these guitars to acrue in value unless it is something very special or has provenance.

Quick setup though, a little kit like this has the advantage to put everything up in one line, which is pretty nice.

Its kind of frustrating because i can play allmost everything with my hands, but my kicks are just cr@p. Playing the guitar certainly gave me a jump start IMO. Well not the really fast stuff obviously, but i wasnt planning on becoming a metal drummer anyway.

Im off to get better sticks today(now have those mini tip jazz sticks :oops: ) and maybe a new skin for my floortom, there are now the remo USA 'weatherking' skins on the toms and i hope they still have those, cant find them online though......

The only downside of drumming is that i now want a good snaredrum, the one in the set seems to be a Sonor international, and allthough it kind off fits the set nicely for a funky/jazzy style i want something deep and more fat too.

Oh and Noodle, i think this guy just played it at home once in a while, even the Meinl hihat has only one small ding in the rim. Its definately a plus the original bass skin is in such good shape IMO.

Post by: FELINEGUITARS on February 06, 2008, 12:59:01 PM: Unusually for me I have a strat desire (normally i am a humbucker kind of guy) - especially after seeing Mark Kendall from Great White last weekend play all night with a strat.

I have also rediscovered the BKP Boss pickup as a thing of great sonic beauty and am planning a way to combine it as the bridge position on a strat/tele hybrid (maybe with a pair of Mothers milk pickups too)

As for what make to get - I suppose that I would prefer to make it myself as the quality will be there where it counts,
I don't know if it counts as GAS if it's something that you would make yourself but I think it does ......

I made something like this a while back and maybe I will make myself a variant of it with a Tele bridge pickup mounted to the scratchplate... here's what the last one looked like:

Damn, even I would play that. Seriously. Me, of all people.

oh its definately still GAS...it may not count to other people but the GAS that keeps me going is thinking about what i want to build for myself. my current list is somewhat acoustic based though. . . top of the list would be my version of a taylor T5

Oh man... There was a LP Style in the showcase for some time. It was a flame maple with a bloodred dye with a small bit of a black burst. Talk about GAS... It was absolutely fantastic. I had it all laid out in my head... Ebony fretboard and peghead veneer...black hardware... and a set of Cold Sweats!!! Then one day it was gone. Someone else got to it before I could. :evil:
But I know the look you've got in mind, and I can picture it. It is awesome!
