Title: GAS thread
Post by: gwEm on April 01, 2010, 06:22:53 PM
its been a while since we had one of these. currently on my hitlist:

Gibson Firebird 1/SG junior
EVH phase 90
BKP t-tops
something to put the t-tops in
Bravewood '67 strat with BKP custom 69 set
70s Gibson Flying V
BKP Blackguard 50

edit: ideally i'll find a 70s V with the orginal pups swapped out for cheap

Why the EVH Phase 90 and not the Script or '74?

Why the EVH Phase 90 and not the Script or '74?

it has the switch to change between script and block mode. maybe i should look into seeing if the vintage ones sound better. modulation fx are usually something i have GAS for, and then end up selling a few months later though ;) am nervous of splashing too much on it

Something nice with minibuckers and/or a Goldtop might make me sit up and take notice....

I'm running a Script now and it's great. I still prefer the Maestro, but at something like 1/10 the size, the Script is much easier for gigging!!

Fender vintage hot rod 62 strat.

A new amp, possibly tweed?

Duesenberg starplayer in black.

Managed to shuffle around quite a lot of stuff this Easter and I am much happier with what I've got now; fits my needs a lot better. Only things I might still get are a strat and a Digitech RP1000 for going direct. I find it hard to say no to good deals though! :lol:

The wheels are in motion for a new amp i've been eyeing up. More details will follow...........

Post by: FernandoDuarte on April 02, 2010, 02:25:06 AM
335 shape but solid and neck-thru body (I'm alway worried that the guitars will look like toys on me, I'm 1m83 and 130kg - 105 if I get "thin"), probably T-tops pickups :P (see the "is there a new BKP" thread)... probably like a white Lucille...

SG neckthru with flamed maple top and double P90

12 string guitar

Acoustic guitar, perhaps a dreadnough or a archtop, but to be used like a dreadnough :?

maybe a couple of the other cool cats
vht special 6
bunch of other pedals
tele
would like to try those squier classic vibes, because if they're as nice as everyone is saying, they have a couple of models which look nice.
also would like to try that epi wilshire which martin got recently.

Post by: 38thBeatle on April 02, 2010, 10:37:43 AM
The only guitar I would covet now would be a Les Paul Special. I'd like a Jazz Bass and a Ric bass but that would be truly indulgent as I don't play so many bass gigs these days. I have a possible bass recording  job coming up and if so, I'll ask for a Jazz I think. I love my Precision but I don't fancy carting it about.
Title: Re: GAS thread
Post by: hunter on April 02, 2010, 01:31:16 PM
I would be ready to spend close to 3K if I could get this guitar.

Unfortunately it's not for sale and James Tyler wouldn't build one, he stopped the Tylerbaster.

But can you see how happy a man I am with this in my hands?

I have decided to sell MY own Korina V to help raise money for the wood for the 2010 Lions (10x)

It has the jack on the upper fin and a pair of BKP VH2 pickups

Not really GASing for much at the moment, but it's been a while since I bought any BKPs. 

I want some Tele pickups - probably some BG50s, maybe a Brown Sugar bridge - and a set of Emeralds, perhaps for my McCarty.  We'll see....

I was watching Shine a Light yesterday (great music, sh!t singing) and was thinking of maybe getting a Brown Sugar bridge in future. Either that or a BG50 bridged. Undecided at the moment although you can't polish a turd (my playing) so it probably won't make any difference which one I go for.

Is that the Stones movie?  I'll take your word, won't be watching!  :lol:

Someone (Jonathan?) said the BS bridge has similar output to the BG50, but more midrange.  I thought that might go better with the TV Jones I'll be using in the neck.

It certainly is the Stones movie. It is a shame the singing is bad (and there are a few cringe worthy moments with Jagger sucking up to the Clintons) as the rest of the music is  very good.

If the Brown Sugar has more midrange it could be a better bet for me. Will have to give it a think.
Title: Re: GAS thread
Post by: Simon D on April 09, 2010, 05:38:45 PM
Definitely got a few things on the GAS list. Starting with the least attainable:

A PRS SC250 (now out of production, but there's a few still kicking around - sadly most at over £2k  :( )
A PRS Custom 24 (plenty around, all £2k +  :( )
A Fender John Mayer Strat (my local dealer has one, and I'm not daring to play it, just in case!)
A Fender USA Deluxe HSS Strat
A Line 6 POD X3 Live
A new speaker for my small amp.

I did have serious GAS for a Fender Jim Root Tele until earlier this week, when I tried one and realised I really missed having a tone control. Back to the drawing board for a reasonably priced, mahogany bodied, twin HB metal guitar that doesn't have a stick-thin neck and a pancake-flat board.  :roll:

Yeah, I've been looking at PRSes this week, after realising that (a) most of the models I like have been discontinued; (b) the prices seem to have gone up quite a bit (although I don't follow them closely).

I really hate the look of the new bound-neck models.  Fortunately, in true PRS style, they'll probably be short-lived.

Indeed - I know he wasn't much of a gear man, the toal opposite of quite a few on this forum. Just the sound of the tele on that CD is lovely enough to induce GAS!

I'll have that stuff sent back to you shortly. Been busy with work over the last few weeks, easing up now so I should be able to get started soonish!

OK, I'll play:

Definites (i.e. I know exactly what I want to buy & am actively searching for it)
MXR M148 & M152 reissue pedals
Boss DC-2 (check ebay daily, missed out on an auction two weeks ago :()
Set of power valves for Marshall (just waiting on replies to a few emails trying to get someone to rebias it)

Probables (i.e. things I want but haven't made a final decision on the exact product)
Multi-channel valve preamp (probably an Egnater M4 with BMAN, SL, EG5 & RECTO modules)
Feline superstrat (need to chat with Jonathan about specs/pricing)
4x12" or my Marshall (undecided on make & speakers)

Possibles (i.e. where I've thought "that would be nice" but realistically are unlikely to happen soon)
PC with recording interface & all the software
Custom UK-built valve head
Nylon-strung/classical

Dreamland (i.e. no more than an idle thought :))
Several US Jacksons, Deans, Bernie Rico Jrs, Taylors etc etc :lol:
Some more Engls: a spare Savage, a Fireball 100, a Morse, SE etc
A new house to hold it all... :)

A Mac Pro, lots and lots of software and a Axefx to record with.
I shall get it all soon as i have the money now. Then hopefully i can get more out of the midi capability's of my Feline custom as i got all that put in with recording in mind really. (I did use it in the studio with various non guitar tones but I missed playing electric guitar in a studio situation.)

Guitar wise I've been gassing a long time now for a 335 style with Stormys, a vintage white strat with either Mothers Milks or Apaches. Plus something with P90s in, like a decent gold top copy.

Amp wise I'm still cool with my Koch!

I'm full of anticipation at the moment
New MJW amp on the way in a few months and new strat type guitar in a few weeks

spill!

Not much to spill - Martin is building me a bigger 36w amp head
A local guy is putting a new neck on a strat with a hip shot trem, huge stainless steel Jedcar frets, an lsr roller nut and some interesting tuners. I will post details when I get each one.
Looking forward to both of them a lot.

Sounds like some good gear on order there. I love the spec of your Strat. Is it inspired by bloke called Jeff?

why did you have a tiny 36w head before
Title: Re: GAS thread
Post by: Matt77 on April 14, 2010, 05:37:30 PM
Does sound a bit strange this
It was 18w
Oddly I'm using the casing from that and getting Martin to shoe-horn a 36w head in to it.
2 reasons:
 - 1 it will match the cab as the tolex is hard to get.
 - 2 my girlfriend will think it's the same amp and won't kick my ass. Unless of course she reads this. Then I'm f*cked

-
The spec on the strat is a bit Jeff Beck but I thought I'd experiment and see if tuning stability would be even greater with the steinberger's

Only downside is some would say they are a bit ugly

I just cured my major GAS and bagged a Marshall 2554 Jubilee 1 x12 combo. Other than that there must be something wrong with me as I don't have much GAS at the moment.... may be 'coz I haven't much money eh? lol

Here's what I'm thinking though....

To get Feline to re-finish my Yamaha SG in blueburst so I can give it to my youngest son for his 16th in 18months time.
Ibanez flanger... one of the yellow 4 knob ones.
BKP Crawlers with aged nickel covers
TonePros bridge and tail piece for Epi '65 SG along with some chrome pick up covers.   
Pedaltrain II with power supply
A few speakers so I can do some speaker trials at some point.

A PRS SC250 (now out of production, but there's a few still kicking around - sadly most at over £2k  :( )
A PRS Custom 24 (plenty around, all £2k +  :( )

Yeah, I've been looking at PRSes this week, after realising that (a) most of the models I like have been discontinued; (b) the prices seem to have gone up quite a bit (although I don't follow them closely).

I really hate the look of the new bound-neck models.  Fortunately, in true PRS style, they'll probably be short-lived.

I do follow the prices pretty closely, and you're spot on Philly - the prices of the discontinued ones have gone up, even if they're old stock with the 'filled in' bird inlays, which I reckon is well cheeky.

Couldn't agree more about the bound necks too, I bloody hate them. Unbound boards were one of the things that attracted me to PRSs in the first place, and then they go and do that!  :x
Title: Re: GAS thread
Post by: Philly Q on April 15, 2010, 08:32:57 PM
I like the look of binding on Gibsons/Felines etc, but I think the bound PRS necks clash horribly with the "fake" maple binding on the bodies.

They should've gone the whole hog and used real binding on the bodies too.  Or just stuck with no binding!
Title: Re: GAS thread
Post by: Simon D on April 15, 2010, 09:00:56 PM
Yeah, the plastic binding and the false/clearcoat binding on PRSs does clash horribly.

But tbh, my main objection to the neck binding is simply that I don't get on at all with bound edge fretboards from a playing point of view. So much so that if I were to order a Feline Lion (one day I will, I swear), I'd order one without a bound board.

ok, let's go through this list i previously posted:

dano trans od v1 (if i can still find one)
maybe a couple of the other cool cats (picked up the drive too, may pick up another couple, not sure)
vht special 6
bunch of other pedals
tele
would like to try those squier classic vibes, because if they're as nice as everyone is saying, they have a couple of models which look nice.
also would like to try that epi wilshire which martin got recently.

agreed. or use flamed maple binding on the necks, that'd be sweet (and they're expensive enough). but the binding on the necks of the new anniversary PRSes (just based on pics) clashes as philly says, and also is a pretty horrible colour even if it didn't clash with anything, it just looks kinda cheap.

We're a custom order company
We make them the way we're asked to .......

Order yours with full binding , flamed wood binding or no binding

It looked very pretty IMO
You can just see our Nickel screening paint in the pickup cavities in the pic below

We hope to be finishing another just like it for another BKP forumite real soon ....

I've started with the GAS again unfortunately...
Looking for a delay pedal and an overdrive to get a bit more form my Engl Screamer. Haven't look much into it yet, but the Hardwire ones look pretty cool. I'm also looking forward to a second set of Bareknuckles, despite the fact that my first set hasn't even arrived yet...I wish I had more money  :(

It's a Sterling (Musicman) JP50

That's very elegant, it looks better than the proper EB/MM model.  :)


I've had several GAS outbreaks the last couple of weeks - first it was a PRS SC245, then a custom Feline Lion, then a Fender relic Tele.  Came very close, but they're all in remission.... at least for now.

Still GASing for a Fender Ritchie Blackmore Strat. I think I will have to take a short trip to Glasgow soon and try one out to see if it would be to my liking, might see if I can get a trade-in deal on one.

I agree I would love a blackmore strat or the Eric johnson strat in white.
