Musicians Thread

Cheers Superadde I must admit im not that clued up on all the technical stuff either im just interested in knowing what gear people use in a type way
Shamaniac I think your right it is a Fender copy mine is the pretty much the same

I used to play on some weird flying V model with flames on it. It looked like a toy and it weighed pretty much nothing, but it was enough for the days when we played in the church basement. Heh.

Now I've got an old Jackson V guitar made in the early 90s, I love it.

I hereby demand that Mats uploads some stuff from his rock n roll days. I have in my possession a song where he was doing the singing, and I've seen the LP being sold on eBay.

@WickedRock I always wanted a flying V theyve always been out of my price range that guitarist Jay Reynolds had a white flying V back in the eighties cant remember the band he played in though? on the subject of weightless guitars years ago a friend of mine had a bass it felt like it was made out of bolser wood and it didnt sound to good either
However I would like an Amfisound Lizard Bass or a BC Rich one of those Jaggy shaped ones

Well, the one with flames cost around €~160. It's alright for heavy distortion, but if I try to play clean with it the tone breaks up easily. It is far too metal for pop. My Jackson cost around €470, together with a hardcase, the original mics which had been replaced by better ones and some cords.

by mics i guess you mean pic ups-what kind?duncans?emg's?

I got an epiphone les paul gold top which is good-not great,it's in bad need of a set up and buzzez like mad from the single coil pick ups-my choice to get those,D'oh!
I also have Marshall tube 50 watt 2-12 combo which is all i will ever need-loud enough for club shows if i ever played one again,more than enough for suburban rock outs.
My drum set is shitty cracked zildjan cymbals that i cant aford to replace,and some unknown 5 piece drum kit that i gutted and changed all hardware and stands to tama stuff.And an old snare propped up for a 14 inch tom cause i wanted a 4th tom and it looks really goofy.

Your old flying V sounds like it was metal squared\m/ Have you still got it? My bass was £225 it was replacement as the original one I bought whilst I was at university was£147 but the neck was warped and I didnt know why the bottom E kept popping out However that particular make had been discontinued so I got a better replacement

I would like a Coffin Case for my bass but being "poorer than a disabled banana" I cant afford one

Mics I mean for recording Im going to get a snowflake for my laptop

by mics i guess you mean pic ups-what kind?duncans?emg's?

Oh yeah, that's the proper term in English. Duncan's, that is correct. Your rag tag drum set sounds like a real garage band substitute, those are rad. Our drummer used to have a bunch of cymbal stands welded/ducktaped together from various metal parts (mic stands, note stands etc.) we found in a storage room in the labyrinth that was the church basement.

Or is stole the proper term here?

I've still got the flame guitar, I let my friends use it as a back up guitar at the rehearsal room in case they didn't bring their own. I tried to find a picture, but it's too obscure.

Guitars: Epiphone les paul custom ebony
Jackson JS30 RR

Amp: Sansamp psa-1 head connected to a Mosvalve amplifier.

Well that's about it, saving up for a Engl Fireball at the moment, the sansamp just doesn't do it for me.
What can I say, I've been playing in a band for about 5 years, death metalish sound with plenty of technical difficulties ^^
Recently I joined a Black Metal band as a drummer as well, we'll see how that goes. On my free time is play around with a folk metal project (of course).

That's about it!

^Got any samples from that Folk Metal project? Would be fun to listen to some!

None at the moment to be honest, just midi stuff made in guitar pro, my studio and my band sucks up a lot of time so I haven't really got to the recording stage, yet! But when I have, I'll post something.
