Post Your GAS

[oracles]

Not full GAS but oddly intrigued by its uniqueyness. Its the shiny thing in the store window.
I see they have now two different form factors. Not sure if the top knob version is a legacy version now.....

You want the smaller form factor, trust me. I sold my V1 life pedal because it takes up so much god damn space. It sounds killer, but the V2 form factor and top mount jack placement makes it exponentially better

Monster tone from that wall of DR, Princetons, and Bandmasters. Who needs Diezel or KSR.

I need to ice my own wrist after watching this

I always forget how much impact he had on my style. Bending into notes instead of landing on them is such a crutch of mine. Even when I play blues it sounds like Marty x Jeff Beck lol. I could never play pure Jazz because I bend all the time.

yep - I just showed this video to my wife and she said that “he will hurt himself if he keeps playing like that” - I think my face told her that was a pretty silly thing to say

Seriously though it gives me cramps just looking at that wrist angle.

I actually tried to learn how to pick like that like 20 years ago. It hurt so bad it gave me tennis elbow lol.

Limited Run Ibanez Prestige RGDR7UCS Road Flare Red Flat. SS frets. Bareknuckle pickups. Reverse headstock. And the cherry on top, matte red. It's hot. But... it's $2500, and that's just a bit too high for me. I was almost going to buy it, but opted for a regular RGD7UCS.

Aren't 'regular' rgd7ucs in the same range? I find them around 2350€ - Was/is that different in the US?

Is it just me, or does the headstock logo look a bit... small? There's too much free realestate on the headstock for an Ibanez : p

Oh yeah, definitely! They go for $2,300 new. An online music store had one on sale for $1,600 and I bought it. https://www.altomusic.com/ibanez-rgd-prestige-uppercut-7-string-electric-guitar-invisible-shadow

It's smaller than logo with a "swoosh". It seems reverse headstock Prestige models have smaller one.

You're right, the RGD4327 also has a smaller logo. Not the RG models, though.

I really want to try these. What sold me was the Uberschall he did previously. The entry price is a bit steep though.

ehh the price isn't too bad if you just grab some modules and their preamp box.

 

[sleewell]

kinda want to get a mesa 4x12. i have a peavey vtm 412 that has k85s that sounds pretty good but i know mesa cabs are great. would be sweet use them both if outdoor shows ever came back.

Not sure if you can GAS for empty space, but somewhere I could park the JCM 800 and a 1960A and just play them on 10 would be pretty boss.

That's exactly why I bought the Gibson GA-5T. Dimed it and played sitting about 3-4 feet away with the rest of the family in the same room.

Especially with those Marshalls... they require the power tubes to be pushed for the amp to sound right. They literally don't sound the same at a 2 as they do a 6. I never understood why people liked them until I heard it properly cranked.

FWIW the closest you'll come with a reactive load attenuator like the Weber Mass III, but even then it's not the same. That's what I use to tame the Budda SD80. I'd love to try one of the Tone King Ironman II attenuators with the Budda, but they're hardwired into my Sky King amp they came with.

Christ, that thing sounds fantastic

It's exactly the tone I always think of in my head when trying to dial something in. If I ever get a Synergy amp, it'll for sure be that one.
