Rather than hijack Lew's NGD thread, I'll start this afresh. Along with Ian Price, a few others may be interested to know what's left in my stable at the minute, so I'll break down my guitars and amps. In the last 12 months I've had a really good clearout, and joined one more band:
For my covers band, Doppelganger:
* Fender CS 50s Top Bound Esquire relic in Lake Placid Blue (ex-Ian Price)
* Fecker La Cabronita in Blue Sparkle (built by WezV)
* Martamp Orion protoype head in black
* Martamp 2x12 in black with Celestion Golds
* MJW FX Driver in black
Both guitars get swapped around gig by gig, and I'll use either/or as main or backup
For my tribute band, YC/DC:
* Epiphone '65 reissue SG with vibrola and Riff Raffs (my only BKPs!)
* La Cabronita - backup
* Martamp M45/100 head
* Martamp 4x12 with Celestion Golds and G12H Heritages
For the 'DC spin-off covers band, Sir Denis:
* Fano JM6 relic in Lake Placid Blue
* CS Esquire or La Cabronita - backup
* Martamp M45 head in blue (ex-Martin of Martamp)
* Martamp 2x12 in blue with Celestion Greenbacks (ex-Martin of Martamp)
Acoustics:
* Martin J15 all-mahogany 6-string
* Martin J12-15 all-mahogany 12-string
Other electrics/amps:
* PRS Modern Eagle - gets out for the odd Doppelganger gig, my overall #1 guitar
* PRS McCarty Korina with Throbak PAFs
* Fender CS '58 Heavy Relic Tele in Red Sparkle
* Squier '62 JV Strat in Fiesta Red with Bulldog pickups - my first electric guitar!
* Gordon Smith GS-1 in cherry red with an SD Custom Shop EVH pickup - about to be set up for slide
* Martamp 6L6 Deluxe relic combo with an old Celestion G12H (bass cone)
Phew! I think that's it! My Warmoth Thinline is currently being checked out by a mate to see if he wants to buy it. If he doesn't, it'll be up for sale on here and elsewhere.
-
Cheers Dave! I'm debating a cheap(ish) SG just to check that I'm not a HB man. I know your Epiphone (with it's upgrades) cost quite a bit.
-
What a lovely collection of gear you got, Dave. I could think of a few pieces I would like to own :D
-
80% of this will be sold on here in the next 2 years :)
I'm only friendly with him because he is a source of cheap loot!
-
:lol:
I'm sticking to my guns about no new guitars this year. If I could sell any more, I would, but once you've got them it's hard to let them go. I guess I can justify around half of them, and nearly all the amps, as they go out gigging.
Yes I could use the same gear for different bands if I had to, but where's the fun in that? ;)
-
Due to a lack of pics, I'm forced to assume that it doesn't exist :P
-
Trust me, it does!
-

Indeed it does. I saw quite a few of this collection on my visit to Dave's.

-
i think its time for a family photo of them all, now they should all fit in one photo :)
-
is this still up to date? it was posted over 4 hours ago...

In that sense it's probably a much higher % than most pros could justify!
Me, I think you should get some more guitars. :wink:
-
Ha ha!
I'll have to try and get a pic done when everything is in the same place! :lol:
-

Twinfan are there any martamps you don't own? I mean, lovely amps, but... leave some for the rest of the world!
-
Dave, you don't have a banjo- that is missing form your collection for sure.
-
* Epiphone '65 reissue SG with vibrola and Riff Raffs (my only BKPs!)
Just one set of BKPs?
Shame on you!
8)
-
I find BKPs work for me in that SG, and I've had BKPs in a lot of other guitars. I seem to like other stuff better personally, but I recommend BKPs to lots of people.
It's all about the right ingredients for you and your rig isn't it?
-

There's plenty out there, and more to be built :) I was Martin's first customer for a built-to-order amp, so I've had more time to accrue some! Pete24v here on the forum has several as well.
I actually have one more on order, which is several months away, which is a complete luxury but it's a wedding anniversary present from Mrs Twinfan so that's OK ;)
Oh and Mr 38th - I have considered picking up a banjo or uke at some point...

Sure man, was just teasing you ;)
-
I know mate, I know ;)
It's all good :D
-
An amazing collection of enviable quality ! :D
The only thing missing being a nice Eastman 805 full archtop - or single pickup Eastman 'El-Ray' - which you would later feel the urge to sell in 'Seconds out' at a very tempting price ! :wink:
-
i was just joking by the way, you have some really nice kit :)
-
yeah i have two MJW's, a Roadstar 36 with 6V6's and an MJW Ceriatone HRM. Martin also modded my Matamp Minimat. A Roadstar 18 with switchable drive and fxloop has been ordered too, plus another cab. Great amps, I'm a it like Twinfan, different rigs for different bands 8)

Dave, you officially have the worst case of GAS on this forum - we're only just into March and you have two new guitars.
The LP is gorgeous, but the SG has me drooling the most - bet it's a cracker cranked up loud with an old plexi.

+1. Couldn't agree more...... what a bloke! :lol:

Yep, I'm addicted to guitars and gear!

+1, I feel your pain.
its a good job that making amps satisfies pretty much all of my GAS otherwise I'd be even more skint - or dehydrated from excessive drooling over guitar and amp porn.

Me too, I just can't afford to do anything about it :lol:
The only thing I have GAS for atm is a new amp (either something like a Splawn or a Martamp Orion) but I have alot of stuff I need to sell before I can even consider it :shock:
-
A nice collection you got there. WHat are you using in the way of pedals? Do you use the same pedals in each of the bands?
-
I use:
a) No pedals for 'DC, just a wireless and the guitar's bridge volume control!
b) A home built overdrive for Sir Denis
c) A pedalboard for Doppelganger, which has on it:
* Dunlop Crybaby wah
* MXR Distortion III
* Empress ParaEQ
* Tonerider SuperLush Chorus
* MXR Carbon Copy Delay
-
b) A home built overdrive for Sir Denis
Which one is this Dave? Not sure I've seen that mentioned before.
-
It's one I built from the instructions in Guitar and Bass magazine a few months ago....

Aaaah, I vaguely remember that now.

That Fender CS '58 Heavy Relic Tele in Red Sparkle doesn't see, to get used in any bands.
Why not sell it? :x
-
If you've got £2000 mate you can have it......

:o Is this a joke? If I had £2k floating around I would snap your arms off!
-
First person to bring £2000 cash can have it. Seriously.
I'm pretty darn sure all those people who say they'd want it won't actually come knocking at my door....

Not for silly money, no. ;)

It's nice but looks too clean for my liking. Binding doesn't do it on red teles for me - and it needs a maple board.

£8.50 and a bumming from Matt?
-
Err, I'll pass thanks!
-
homophobe...that's a good deal...I reckon you could trade up
-
Err, I'll pass thanks!
The money not enough?

:lol:
Not quite ;)
