Who here is totally happy with their rig??
« on: June 14, 2008, 01:19:29 PM »
So who has "completed" their rig??... has everything they want, and can say that they do not want to buy anything else.. even a pickup.

I have all the amp i will ever want, maybe another 4x12 if i play in a band again.. but thats a change in circumstance.

But for guitars, im way way off... i need to sell one guitar and buy a telecaster and a les paul, but i also want something pointy like a jackson rhoads.. but thats a lil OTT..

Nope. That's all I'm saying, to save you all from a ranting paragraph of GAS, money and pretty much anything else. :lol:

In terms of my amp rig, perfectly happy, effects too, just gotta add a rackmount tuner and a MIDI controlled looper/bypasser for my pedals and I'm all good and finished ampwise.

Guitarwise....I need pickup upgrades on them, and a replacement bridge on my ESP/LTD, to get them playing as they should. However, I also have plans for a Bernie Rico Jr Jekyll 727, which hopefully I'll be able to get next year, and that should be all sorted then.

So basically, soundwise I am sorted, guitarwise, technically I am almost sorted, its more just would be nice to have a custom guitar.

Apart from the booster pedal I'm discussing in another thread, I'm all done  :D

i'm happy from the point of view that anything I've bought in the last couple of years, I don't want to get rid of, but i'm definitely not averse to buying more either...  :lol:

Same here, I'm happy with everything I have but what I have isn't nearly enough.
Im not big on huge guitar collections but I would love a decent 12 string acoustic and 6 string acoustic and a billion more amps and microphones-keyboards-recording gear

My Crawler equipped Les Paul fulfills my need in a 6-string, and likewise my Spanish. I still need a better 12(or 10)-string, a solidbody 7, something with 24 frets and a trem, a bass, an 88-key keyboard, a decent amp, a delay pedal, a distortion preamp, and possibly a better wah pedal. So no, not by a long shot.

I'm incredibly satisfied with my current setup. I have a few more planned purchases to make, but there is an end-point in sight.

That is an excellent way to describe my situation as well.
  At some point I really need to be looking into getting a better backup guitar. The current disgraceful Squire strat that I currently take to gigs is embarrassing, it is so bad.
  At some point I might buy a wah pedal. Also at some point I really should upgrade my tuners on my LP.
  At some distant point in the future I might even buy another amp to kick in as a lead boost - can never quite get enough volume boost for solos - that's the nature of a single MV tube amp I suppose.

Im not satisfied at all, to be honest. i bought all my gear that i have now when i was younger and had no idea about any technicality. i only play in my bedroom and ive got a 150watt Randall head and cab for a start.

Ive got a marshall vibrotrem which i really like and a modded Boss EQ, they are the only things im planning on keeping.

bought my peavey v-type because i thought it looked cool, its lasted me this long but i wanna find a guitar that really speaks back at me, rather than just take abuse.

I'de keep my miracle men aswell they rock!!

I read this thread last night and thought to myself (aside from wanting a strat) I am totally happy with my current setup.

So, why is it that this morning I have bought another delay pedal?  I already have a cheap but cheerful Artec analog delay that sounds absolutely fine, but today came across an MXR Carbon Copy on ebay and thought "ooh, another 250ms of delay time!" and, knowing I've got a bit of disposable cash at the moment, I clicked on the 'buy it now' button.

I suppose that although I might be satisfied with the kit I have at any given time, exposure to the internet where I'm constantly coming across new gear reviews, people on forums raving about the latest big thing, new flavours of the month etc, there's always going to be a part of me that wonders "I wonder how that'll fit in with my rig?"

For me, part of the fun of being a guitarist is experimenting with different sounds, discovering new equipment and building a knowledge of how guitars, effects and amps interact with one another.  As long as that's the case I guess I'll continue to buy new things to mess around with.

Yes, it is our curse and somewhat like an endless cycle. You are happy with your rig but end up buying something new anyway. Then, you realize that you know longer like it (which also means you are no longer completely happy with your rig) so you sell it to buy something else. And it goes on and on and on......... :lol:
