Gear you won't buy/use...

[Ayek]

I'd be hard pressed to justify buying anything new these days. Shit's expensive. And I wouldn't buy a bass with more than 4 strings. I'd use pretty much anything, though. Depending on circumstances, I guess. I'm not a proud man.

[mawso]

jazzmasters etc

they're kinda like my uncle.. they're extremely ugly and they don't work

[inductorguitars]

I agree on the feel, but their tone does nothing for me. Still buggered how Gilmour get decent tone.

Never really liked LP's. I played one that I liked it was a studio or recording model I forget which. It was light as fuck. (For a LP)


For you cheap skates: (not pointing to any Scot)
I will soon (not sure when) give away one of my MP-1's (harmonic percolator clone) if you sign up on my mailing list. Check any post on my site to sign up.

[VOLVO)))]

Harmonic perc 4 lyfe.

I like strats. sue me.  

I'd play a Strat over a Paul 99% of the time. I'd play a tele over anything, though.

[BrianDamage]

I have a revv'ed up Jay Turser tele that I don't play.... Got anything you would trade for it?

[hashbrowns]

What gear will I not use? There is no gear that I won't use every piece of gear is different to me and I've found gems all over. What gear will I not buy? Overpriced stuff is the only thing I'd never buy.

[rayinreverse]

Yeah I suppose I'd use most anything. But I am pretty adamant about picks.

[lordfinesse]

I won't say I won't use anything if the situation demands it, but I generally won't use/buy:

Picks other than those green Dunlops
Strings other than D'Addario XLs
cheap cables
cheap connectors
Line 6 stuff

I'm sure there's more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

[Jake]

I'd use just about anything, really.

But likely would not buy...

Guitars: Don't like them to be AAAAA Flametop, abalone everywhere, overly decorative, ornate or pointy/shredder.
Amps: I don't care for combo amps – awkward to carry; lack the flexibility of playing w/ diff't speaker combinations.
Effects: Big multi processors, MIDI stuff

[NoSleepTilSleep]

PRS guitars. Fugly, expensive, and I've never heard one that sounds good in a heavy band. Who buys them, besides Carlos Santana?

Truth.

[dogfood]

I have been a gear moron.  I would have told you "I wouldn't use ______ ever!" and always I was wrong.  As it turns out, most shit has a time/place.  And, that being said, Chorus and Flange have no place in my world.  I have issues with many other items such as "out of phase wiring" which I most likely will never record with, but, I won't rule it out because it does not occupy the nineth layer of hell as does flange and chorus.  If I ever go round the bend, I may hunt down roland stereo jazz chorus amp owners (who also own flange units) and pulverise their knuckles + ice pick their ear drums, though it may be their brain that deserves the fixing.

[Hemisaurus]

Whats wrong with Flanging? It always sounds to me like phasing should sound.

[jibberish]

picks other than purple gator grips

way expensive stuff is out too. no need for my brand of basement hackery

other than that, i'll give it a whirl to see what it is like.

Opeth?

Steve Austin from Today is the Day.  Al Di Meola's got a rainbow finish one, too.

I won't ever buy/use active pups.  Looks like I'm not in the minority on that here.

[MichaelZodiac]

overpriced gear
active pu's

I'm not a big fan of P/J basses, especially J bass since I compared one to my T-40.

In contribution to the strat/single coil: I wasn't fond of those either at the beginning of last year but since I play with a guy who only has a Fender USA Strat I had to adjust my opinion. It sounds pretty awesome actually in a stoner/doom band, different from your regular LP. And a strat goes wonderfully with an octave fuzz.

[The Shocker]

Strats
New Gibsons

[VOLVO)))]

I have active single coils in my tele gehehe

Anything new, so much more easier to shop around the used section at other forums.

[justinhedrick]

i won't play anything with a floyd rose on it. my technique (or lack there of) relies on me resting my hand on the bridge a lot.

other than that, there really isn't anything i won't at least try out.

[Hemisaurus]

You still looking for a 12" Justin?

That cedist.com have ceramic Jensen's about $30 for a low watt one $45 for a 75W or so. Alnico's are like double that.

[zachoff]

I generally dislike multi-effects too but love my Boss VE-20 for vocals.
Also won't play anything headless.  Guitars, basses, drums, dolls...  Nothing headless.

Steve Austin from Today is the Day plays prs. They are good guitars.
I dont like anything overly flamed or quilted tho and most of their tops are. I agree that they are ugly.

I love strats, haterz gonna hate.
I dont like the idea of relics but gotta admit the road worn series from fender were really good guitars

I probably wouldnt buy or use:
modeling guitars
midi guitars
robot guitars
multi-effects units
amps with alot of built in effects
?

i dunno , im open to almost anythign at the right price
