New Gear Acquisitions

Surprisingly well spent $25. Breath life into a mediocre sounding practice amp. I'm running my Strat through it into my Champion 600 and it sounds so much bigger and tonefull.
Heck, it doesn't sound too bad in front of computer speakers even.

Pretty much, but $150 less.

Wow! I LOVE that multi-layer binding with that goldtop finish. Great choice. I would totally rape-bang that thing.

Finished my Telebastard this afternoon and am all set up with my Squier Tele now. The Squier got a maple neck (that I had lying around) and rewired with a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail that coil taps with the push/pull tone pot (thanks, Galactus). The 'Bastard will eat Les Pauls for lunch and the Squier is an absolutely lethal goddamned sleeper.

I sholey likes dem guitars.

xayk · January 22, 2013, 10:15:19 PM

This is not the first time this forum has seen this guitar:

The difference is that now I'm in love with it. The Guild of Calamitous Intent.

VOLVO))) · January 23, 2013, 12:05:37 PM

One day I'll be able to afford all of the nice things I bought... 'til then...

Best guitar I've ever owned.

Jake · January 23, 2013, 01:10:02 PM

Holy shit dude. What's in the "keep" pile, exactly? Never thought I'd see the Guild in the "fuckit" pile...?!

^ boogie boner

RacerX · January 25, 2013, 08:49:14 AM

My buddy Neb (bass/vox a few bands back) had that same cabinet. That fucker sounded badass.

clockwork green · January 25, 2013, 11:26:07 AM

I love their cabs and some of their bass amps and none of their guitar amps (though I haven't tried anything newer than a Mark IV). I hope I can find a good deal on another one. I tend to like 4x15's more than 8x10's.

My old bass player had the same cab. He ran a 400plus through it. Oh my heck did it do the job. Can't go wrong IMO

Actually, there is a potential downside to those cabs: if the screws holding the grille loosen or the rubber pieces that isolate the grille from the rest of the unit dry out & crack, they can get rattly. Easily fixed with some Loctite and/or new rubber pieces.

RAGER · January 25, 2013, 06:11:28 PM

That ain't a downside, just normal wear and tear.

Jake · January 25, 2013, 06:26:55 PM

I think he meant downside in that it is normal wear and tear, but it's wear and tear that can directly affect it's ability to function acceptably (depending on how bad the rattle is). Not just something like scuffing or paint chipping, etc. that tend not to affect the sounds it makes.

RAGER · January 25, 2013, 06:32:30 PM

Or blood or cum or pussy juice or groupie sweat or roadie tears or whiskey, beer,and cigarette ashes...... Loosened stuff isn't a downside just part of maintenance if you use your shit. But that's prolly and argument all in itself.

I couldn't explain my original post any better than Jake did, so I won't try.

RAGER · January 25, 2013, 08:15:15 PM

Ok don't. I'm just feisty today.

Is that the 2000 or 3000/3100/etc.?

How does it play? I've had a chubby lately for the P90 version of it.

neighbor664 · January 26, 2013, 12:36:49 PM

Dan, it's a custom order AL-3XXX. I guess it is most like a 3200 because it has neck-thru and contoured heel. I have a GFS Mean 90 I just haven't got around to putting in the neck position.
It plays and sounds awesome! I received it all set up, dressed and ready to play.
Gibson who?
If I had to come up with something negative to say, it would be that the gold color is more metallic sparkly than a traditional goldtop.
