I'm kinda half gassing for a hollow body. Once i get my strat project done i think i'm done. Actually gassing for some trilogies for that guitar actually...

I really need an audio interface and some good speakers that arent too huge. Dont know which speakers to go for but I'll get an EMU 0404usb interface I reckon. I'm sorted for guitar stuff now, I just cant be arsed with finding new gear any more :lol: Need to get a bias-rite to learn how to bias my amp as well as this tech near me is useless and hasnt picked up his phone in the month or so I've been trying to contact him - seems too unreliable to leave my amp with if he cant even pick up his phone!

edit - need a new computer chair as well, the wheels on this one are nackered now, always did seem a bit flimsy tho..

Post by: ilÿti on July 31, 2008, 09:08:23 PM
In order of priority:
- a decent amp. Looking for something american sounding but I'm not sure of the brand/model.
- delay unit
- an 88-key keyboard
- piezo pickup and saddles for my semi-hollow (Maybe go all out and have midi-compatibility too. That stuff is pimptastic but costs a fortune, sadly)
- a bass
- amp for keyboard/bass/accoustic
- custom 7
- a decent 12-string


I think that's it for now, but that is if I restrict myself. :oops:
Title: Re: What are you GASing for?
Post by: WezV on July 31, 2008, 09:09:58 PM
a danelectro and a vox virage. maybe another amp kit to build as well

although i am considering a headless bass since i found an abandoned bass project and some headless hardware in the workshop... i might throw that together as a quirky side project

I've got an old acoustic like that, my grandad gave me it. It needs some serious repair work but it dates back to the 1920's. Called a Milner. Anyone know of them?

VHII to change my American Standard Strat to HSS
Some aged Mules(?) for my LP Junior conversion project
Roland Cube 30X, just for fun

Better start playing the lottery.....

Indy, those guitars are truly hideous!!!! Never mind, eh, more nice guitars for the rest of us ;)

Only two things I'm GASsing for on the gear front, and both are in preparation

Custom guitar (I'll provide details in due course)
Bloody Murder (ordered an age ago, should be being made at the minute... I hope...!)

Otherwise:
More time!
New gaming rig
Our new vocalist to start so we can see if he's going to be good for what the band wants or not!! Exciting stuff!

Unrealistically:

Uli Jon Roth's guitar playing ability - that man is SO GOOD!!

Realistially:

70s maple neck strat or Music Man Sabre (probably a 70s neck etc for my Squier)
Xotic RC booster
Vox curly guitar lead
VH2
Booteek 1x12 cab
Couple more ClearTone leads
Steinberger
Korg Pitchblack tuner

Rory Gallagher strat

(Not one of those custom shop jobbies, I mean the Rory Gallagher strat)

Well, one may dream, mayn't one?
:lol:

EDIT: Does "GAS" include stuff you've ordered and paid for but are waiting for it to arrive? If yes, then the only realistic thing on my GASometer at the moment is a BKP Blackguard Flat 50 set :D

Not much for me!

Feline lion
PRS SC245
1960s Gibson Country and Western
Original Fender Bassman

I've been offered an SC245 for £1500.00 - is this good value? I'm not sure as not many seem to be sold on!

That woud just about do me!

PRS guitars seem to hold their value very well, that's the sort of price I'd expect to see for a S/H one in a shop.  But maybe a bit pricey for a private sale? 

Assuming it's all in excellent condition.

A semi decent acoustic.  That's all I need (as well as getting the rest finished - one day I'll find time).

Oh, and a new house (which is why I don't have any time at the minute)   :D

Other than that, I'm fairly happy with my kit (Patrick Eggle Berlin, Ibanez lawsuit Firebird, Cigar Box Guitar and Vox AD30VT - although my Applause acoustic will go when I get a better one).

My guitar gas is cured for the moment, I have come to realise I have just about the right number of guitars that they get played fairly regularly and there are soooo many other guitars I want it just seems pointless. Plus I have bonded with the guitars I have so don't want to get rid of any.

Guitar gas has been replaced by mega amp gas however.

I want something to complement my stiletto, I love the amp but it would be nice to have access to some different tones. I am thinking maybe trem-o-verb.

I love the lead tone of the stiletto in fluid drive but I just wish it had a more modern rhythm channel, of course the TOV is probably the opposite of the stiletto. Maybe I will just have to bite the bullet and do Bogner XTC or Diezel, maybe I will wait for the Mark V.

Oh yeah, I really want a Keeley Crybaby but we are totally skint at the mo. :(

Have I rambled enough ?

Cheers PHilly - it's in pretty good condition with a few little marks. It's a guitar currently owned by my guitar sensei (Rob Chapman) -  this has caused me to have some kind of strange feeling of attachement to it so wanted to get opinions from people about price!

Rob Chappers, eh?  :)  I suppose you might want to pay a bit extra for the provenance (as they say on Antiques Roadshow).  But put it another way, I doubt he'd get £1,500 now if he sold it on eBay.

Fender Super-Sonic Head in Oxblood/Cream, with matching 2x12.

I've played through the combo, and it's about my favourite amp I could reasonably justify/afford. head and cab would be much handier, though. and 2 12's is better than 1.

I would have no problem in being corrected, but nobody does  :(

Well, updating the GAS...
As I've no money to buy a nice Archtop, I'll try to do it in the Totnes School of Guitarmaking (Yes, the course is about 4 times the cost of a Epi/Gib vintage arch, but I'm planning do it anyway, if I can, I would have to quite my job and it's a very good job here in Brazil, even I don't liking it...)
The other guitar in the course (yes, planning two  :o) would be a Les Paul/L5S or a Strat to learn how to make it look vintage if they have this option...

Post by: dave_mc on August 02, 2008, 07:47:03 PM
i'll stick with probable GAS (i.e. the stuff I'm likely to buy in the near future)- if I go with everything I have even slight GAS for, I could be here all day. :lol:

anyway:

tele (japanese copy, most likely)
something with p90s, probably les paul special style (again, most likely MIJ copy)
bass of some description
epi valve junior speaker cab
tube town 2x12 speaker cab
speakers

A pair of Electro - voice EVM12L Classic speakers ( probably most achievable and excusable ).

A Yamaha SA2200 semi-acoustic /  or Gibson 335 chunky neck /  Gibson 335 Larry Carlton model. 
( although I must say that my  Mississipi Queen equiped Tanglewood TH502 is sating this particular hunger to a great degree ) .   

A Ceriatone  Overtone ( Dumble type ) amp.

Meanwhile it's soundproofing for the house,  the cat's dental treatments and decorating that is 1st priority ....

i like the idea of the rosewood pickguard... but it doesnt half look clunky - especially around the neck pickup

It's a bit too woody for me - looks almost like it was dug up from the roots of a tree rather than built (no offence).

If I was ever in the market for a semi, I'd rather have one of these two than a 335:

I usually like clear finish in guitars  with beautifull tops, but this one from Mr Johnny Mac didn't grow on me and I'm a bitch for Spalted Maple (http://216.211.140.132/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/dontknow.gif)

Strange Johnny, I was looking at Ibanez only I looked at the  AS93 for a possible venture into the fabulous world of the semi.

They do look nice. Ibanez do have a good range of semis. There are so many makes of semi out there now to choose from. The 335's seem to only come in 3 finishes, black, red or tobacco suburst so I thought that Spalted maple would be be cool, it is an acquired taste though and i wasn't struck on it when I first saw it but it has really grown on me.
Anyway I want me Feline more than anything really and when I get it this GAS for other guitars will probably vanish!
But Mr 38th I think you will really like playing them, Ihad a lot of fun on the ones i played at the LGS or IMS and with unpotted SM the tones would be out of this world!!

Yeah I am not in the market for a real 335 and if I were to get one of those or a washburn HB35, I wouldn't be too bothered about taking it to gigs. I have played Ibanez semis at LGS and they were superb in terms of build quality for the money. Given that I had a mate with the worst Gibson 335 I have ever seen/played a few years back.

The problem I have with those Ibanez and Washburns is that they are SO DAMN UGLY; they could play and sound godly, but I still couldn't bring myself to buy one!
Does anyone, bar Epiphone make a nice looking semi-hollow guitar on a budget?

A 335 is 335  copy or otherwise, they look the same.  :?

There are loads of other makes, indie being one of them, Tanglewood, Peerless, Peavey, Antoria, Vintage ect

I also found this BARGAIN SG today which is severely tempting. Might have to check em out in Guildford.

I'm GASsing for suprisingly little at the moment. In realistic terms, only after:

A Warmoth HH strat with a Floyd, to be Holy Diver loaded
A Keeley Compressor
A Seymour Duncan Twin Tube Mayhem

Anyone seen the 2008 Framus calendar?

Would love a Vortex Elite, or a new Ravelle/Dragonfly.

First time I've ever had gas for a V actually.




I can imagine Gwem choking reading that... :p

:spits out drink in comedy way: :choke: :choke: :choke:  looks ideal for teh br00talz or shredding. i can imagine paul gilbert playing something like that.

was away over the weekend and saw an 80s V, with the rear routed controls. this one had a kahler and looked a bit wierd in classic white with no scratchplate. anyway, brought me to remember the guitar of the week 1984 silver burst reissue... and then i had GAS for a (non-kahler) rear rout silverburst V - with the controls in the proper 1980s place.

i'd also love a Flying V XPL, and Medallion V. I guess the medallion would be so far out of my price range this will stay a dream. a 70s V (non-medallion) might be more realistic i guess.
