Author Topic: ok, so my amp plan failed... plan b content inside.... (Read 5210 times)

CaffeineJunkie · « **on:** February 22, 2007, 04:18:31 PM »

so i thought my "new amp" idea through, along with some input from you guys and a couple mates opinions, and i decided that considering i'm going to uni in a couple months (grade's permitting) that i don't need a new amp at all, except maybe an epi valve jr (which i'll get when i find out what grades i have)

so.... as for plan b

i've been looking at a couple of new guitars (these are just new prices btw, not looked them up on ebay yet)

Ibanez AS103SM (new spalted maple version) (£529)
Ibanez S470 (£359)
Ibanez S520EX (£389) [/list:u]
and judging by how often i change my mind, i'm sure this list will change before i've even finished writing this post

anybody own any of these, or have any particular thoughts on them? or does anybody use the ZP trem system???

cheers

James

that would be a problem then, as i already have a les paul, and they're kinda the same thing (HH, with a hardtail bridge)

Maverick F1 would seem to be what you're after

hmmm.... *looks up maverick F1's*

...

if it weren't for the position of the p/up selector and the weird rolly-thingy's for the vol. etc. then i'd probably add one to the list

I always love how conservative guitarists are :roll: I actually like that switch position, it's easy to reach without interrupting your playing but you're not going to hit it by accident.

i dunno, cos whenever i trem-pick, i always move my hand up to the fretboard, and i know i'd hit it if it were there

F1s are very nice guitars, and tbh, the switch doesn't get in the way.

The only downside people have with them is the rollers, but I personally think they're great, look sweet, and are practical.

Just don't try fitting a coil tap xD

ibanez S series are shredmonsters. Very fast guitar to play on, lightweight, and thin bodied. I recommend.

If they're good enough for Herman, they're good enough for most people :p
