Hey guys.
I've been saying for ages that I needed to get some upto date photos of my gear, so I took the time out today and snapped a few.
Sorry about the quality of some of the photos, had to take them with my phone as my parents have the camera on holiday.
All the thumbnails are links to the fullsize photos.
Lets start with Guitars:
1st up, my 1998 Gibson LP Standard with nickel covered AIV Mules

The 'BrowCaster'. An originally black Japanese Strat that I found while at college. I stripped it, oiled it with Linseed Oil and sealed it with wax. Has a set of aged Mothers Milks in it. Thanks to Phil for the decals :twisted:

Modified 1976 Fender Music Master. This now has a set of Slowhands in it, with a baseplate on the bridge pickup, and a push/pull tone control for series/parallel operation

Late 80s/Early 90s Charvel Fusion Special. When I bought this guitar it had 2 stacked humbuckers side-by-side in the bridge position, with another in the neck. A friend of mine routed it out for me and it now has a Cold Sweat in the bridge and a Trilogy Suite in the neck. Of the 5 positions on the switch, only 2 work; bridge pickup or neck pickup!

My Gould Telecaster. It has a Piledriver in the bridge and a custom made scratchplate made for this guitar by Jonathan at Feline.

Gretsch Electromatic Pro Jet. I kinda bought this 1 on a whim while recording back in January. I may be sending the Mini humbuckers to Tim to re-wind, or I may sell it, I haven't decided yet.

Dean Exotica FM Electro Acoustic. Has a Shadow pickup system in it.

Yamaha RBX 270 bass. Still has the stock pickups in it. Used when I played bass in my current band, and for the occasional bit of recording. Currently for sale.

If my amp pic upsets you, best not look at Phil Kings amp pics :D

Thanks mate :)
Since I've had the Matamp, the MG and Squier have been gathering dust.
I was curious about stereo FX a few years ago, and found the Squier amp in a 2nd hand shop for Ł15, so thought it was worth getting :)
-
Very nice.
Did your family think you were crazy for taking your gear outside for the pics?

LOL
My girl friend would probably say: Oh you are finally taking those pictures for selling your stuff on ebay?
What I was wondering - as you don't see often a 2210 in forums, can you get that RATM sound with it? I think Morello is playing one of these, right?
-
Very nice.
Did your family think you were crazy for taking your gear outside for the pics?
Nah, I did most of it while they were out. Didn't fancy the whinging i'd get if they saw just how much stuff I have that they don't know about :twisted:

Yeah, my sister asked me if it was pictures for Ebay :)
As for Tom Morello, he uses a 2205 at a very low volume level. Which when done on my amp, gives you quite a thin fuzzy tone. When the volume is cranked up, it's a very clear sounding amp :)
-
Nice gear!

How's the Little Rock working out?
The Music Master looks great, how does it sound?

Hi Phil.
The Little Rock is working out great thanks. The switch on it 'arched' (as Jeff @ Matamp put it) so I had to replace the switch, but aside from that, not had any problems :)
The Music Master is a great little guitar now :) I've never been keen on SD Hot Rails, so the fact that that pickup is now out of it is a massive improvement. The Slowhands in it sound really good, very fat in the midrange but still with enough Treble to cut through
-
sweet! those tokai strats are very nice. and the charvel is just badass. EDIT: oh yeah, forgot about the gordon smith, i like those too. :D

Errr, I haven't got any Tokai Strats :lol:
Although for all I know, the stripped 70s Strat could be a Tokai :D
-

The Grad 60 is a nice guitar. The neck is a little skinnier than I usually prefer but aside from that sounds nice n fat :)

THOSE DECALS ON THE BROWCASTER FECKING PWN!

Thanks mate.
Phil was kind enough to put the decals on the front (and a Fecker Custom Shop :lol: ) decal on the back of the headstock for me :)
The Gretsch is a very nice playing and sounding guitar for it's class. Not to sound snobby, but I was surprised at just how well it played straight out of the box for an Indonseian (sp?) guitar.
The main reason I'm thinking of selling is that it's not really 'me'. I think I'm more of a Strat/LP kinda guy for the most part (apart from the Charvel, but that's kind of a guilty pleasure :twisted:)

Hey Brow...
Nice collection I especially love the Browcaster... awesome.
I would LOVE to get my hand on the Fecker decal for my strat build.
I see you're a big HBE fan. They are cool pedals.

Thanks for the comment mate :)
Phil could probably give you the name of the place where he got the decals from.
Yeah I'm a big HBE fan, great sounding pedals and they offer a few different options than alot of other 'boo-teek' pedals :)

The decals come from Glen Ellard, his ebay name is plankspanker101, tell him you saw my Fecker decals and he will send you pics of what he has. They come in all the different styles and clolours (gold, sliver, black). He is in England so the post is not much
