Who here is totally happy with their rig??

[MrBump]

I don't think that there can ever be an end point.

I've been playing since I was 13, a depressing 24 years ago, and I've never really been someone who was into GAS.  I've probably made more guitar purchases in the last year than in all the preceeding 23...  I'm nearly always happy with the way I sound, but I frequently lust after other sounds... For example, I'm not what you would ever call a "high gain" player, but I'd love to but myself a decent Engl, or similar, just to have it there on tap.  I've never been into Les Pauls, but if I had the cash I know EXACTLY the Feline Lion I'd ask Jonathan to build for me.

A wise man once said "life is a journey, not a destination".  I think it was Mr Miyagi.  

Or possibly Yogi Bear.  I often get them mixed up...

Mark.

Same here, I'm happy with everything I have but what I have isn't nearly enough.

hahaha, exactly. that's much more eloquent than how i put it.  :lol:

As far as amps go, I'm there with my new Mesa Express head (unless I decide, in a year's time, that I'm going to play nothing but black metal, and go on tour).

Pedal-wise, I'm not done, but i know what I want - a BB Preamp, a Radial Plexitube, a ZVEX Box of Metal, and a Keeley compressor. Oh, and a hard bypass md for my wah pedal.

Guitars - no. I'm happy with most of what I have - I'm still totally undecided on what to do with my Holy Diver loaded PRS SE Singlecut, because I've been so busy I haven't even had a chance to play it through my new amp yet!

However, my Epi LP will go at some point. The LP is a very dark sounding guitar, even with a set of Mules in it, and doesn't really sing as it should. To replace it, I'll likely look for a good second hand Gibson, so I can drop the Mules straight in, or a PRS SC245.

I also really want one of the new rosewood necked PRS Custom 24s. PRS guitars, as several members on this forum will attest, are viciously addictive. So, the GAS isn't gone, but it's not too bad right now.

I was then Phil starts selling guitars

[IntenseJim]

I friggin' love my SLO which I purchased from Soldano in 1990-1991.

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

I'm happy with my guitars, once I sell that lot.  Doesn't mean I won't buy/sell many more in the future though.

As for amps, cabs, FX and accessories I don't really have a "rig" as such because I'm strictly stay-at-home (no gig, no rig).  So I tend to buy pedals and things more for fun than with any kind of "big picture" in mind.  If that situation were ever to change, there'd be lots of work to do.  No doubt I'd evolve into Twinfan or Hunter.

What are you trying to say?????   :lol:

[Antag]

Sound-wise I'm totally happy with my rig.  The only things I'd like to get for it are non-signal affecting things to make it more practical & tidier:

A pedal board to house my pedals & footswitch
A pedal power supply with an IEC power socket.
An SKB 4U rack case.
Some slightly taller feet for the Savage

Aside from that, there are things I'd like to get to supplement my main rig (i.e. some alternative sounds) - there's no such thing as "enough" guitars :), & there are always other amps I'd like to have lying around.  But my "main" rig is pretty much set...

[Philly Q]

What are you trying to say?????   :lol:

Simply that I would endeavour to emulate you by exercising exquisite good taste in choosing only the very finest amps and FX.  :)



(Or possibly that I would go even more mental and blow loads of money on a new amp every other week, like I do now with guitars.   )

Legra MDV602, Drop B, 11-62, into ISP decimator into Powerball with an EQ20 in the FX loop cutting ~6db of 400Hz and 3db of 6Khz, into an ubercab, powerball 4th channel, gain on about 3.5, bass on ~4, open mids ~6, focussed mids ~4, treble ~6, prescence ~6, depth punch ~3 is VERY close to the main "Sound in my head".

So

NO

'Very close' will never be enough, and besides, thats just one sound. My head has quite a few sounds in it  :lol:  Ergo, I need more gear  :twisted:  :twisted:

[JJretroTONEGOD]

I think the only thing I would like is an orange AD30 head, and a Mongotone 2x10 cab, then I will have to fit it the orange JJ Tesla tubes and I'll be ready to take on the world... :twisted:

I have what I would call a 'rig' but I could do with a cab to beef it up.

[opprobrium_9]

Haven't even got a rig really, I'm still at school so i'm playing though a dodgy Peavy backstage.

+1 minus the Peavey and add a Roland Cube

[MDV]

And another thing!

Tastss change. So rigs change.

[gwEm]

i'm not 100% happy... but having said that i really going in the right direction with it i think. i have a marvellous head and a collection of guitars i'm proud of. i think i'd like a nice booster, maybe a new cab of some sort, a selection of pro cables, and a new moddler maybe... but these aren't things i need.

tinkering with my rig gives me alot of pleasure, i hope its never 100% sorted. in any case, even if it was, i know i'll always be seduced by a cool V.

also thinking about the korg pitch black.
