What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

[technomancer]

A used private stock that basically melds my 594's into 1 guitar came up at the prs dealer and I am heavily debating it.

Replace thread with post...

Got my name on the next one that comes through Sweetwater:

Already have a set of metal covers and an SD QP to throw in.

Now we wait.....

Try the SD actives. So much better.

Getting pretty sick of the Rocksmith cable I tried to get by instead of using an interface, so now I'm looking for an actual one, lol.

There was a local classified for a decently cheap pickup-only Scarlett Solo 2nd gen in my city, but the offer disappeared overnight. Not sure if someone actually bought it, or if the uptime just ran out and it has to be refreshed (it happens). Otherwise, not looking specifically in my area, there's another, a bit more expensive 2nd gen - but at this point I might pay another little bit more and either go for the Audient iD4 (I know someone here recommended them over the Focusrites, but it seems like the 1st gen, so I'd need to look up the differences) or I might go for the Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen for the same money as Audient, if having two identical inputs would actually be any better.

If you're going used, try to find a model that can work as a standalone amp in a box pedal to headphone amp run off a USB charger (the Solos can't, 2i2 can't either afair)

Just bought this cheap crappy but clearly amazing Dean custom zone from a pawnshop for $225 all taxes included! (including gig bag)
The fret ends are not great but ive had worse on a $1200 ibanez ironlabel. The neck is a fat C shape which i plan to sand down a bit. Pickups sound a bit mushy and have a bright topend fizz. Will replace them probably with some duncans.
It doesnt play the smoothest but itll be the perfect on stage beater punk guitar!
Im really happy with it despite its short comings.

This guitar pisses me off more than it should. C'mon, you're going to go through all of that, then just attach a lazy black Dean logo/color scheme? Either commit or don't bother, Dean. Neon highlighter green body, maple fretboard/neck (natural), and black/white logo, OR ALL green with a black logo.

You know they cost $250 new right?

Or is that discount canuck used dollars vs elevated USD new prices?

 

[thebeesknees22]

$250 USD is like $2million Canadian.

Confirmed.

@technomancer that PS sold today, unsurprisingly. $7499CAD for a semi hollow mccarty with african rosewood neck lol

I hate them for what they did to you.

Someone buy my FS Washburn stat so the same doesn’t happen to me lol.

Ah bummer

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I'm curious what single coil EMGs Kirk ran in Edna.

This could be due to the camera + lighting, but these have gold logos, so they might actually be SAs.

 

[budda]

Ah bummer

Had i asked forgiveness not permission, it would have been different . But big changes here this week so i did not do anything too dumb...

The biggest bummer about these is the fretboard isn't actually finished, it's just vinyl strips glued on, so after any reasonable play time they start pulling.

 

[Gmork]

Sorry yeah, the green dean was $250 CANADIAN (all tax included) new ones go for $350-$400CAD on reverb

I'm curious if those are just two tone controls, or if he has a preamp or two under the hood.

 

[thebeesknees22]

I saw an MT-15 pop up on kijiji used for $800 CAD. They've been listing $850-$900 here. (new they're $969CAD) .......... .......... ..... I messaged the dude about this one. I dunno. Maybe I'll get it, maybe not.

If not then I may just move towards a skervesen velociraptor since all the things I really want are out of stock everywhere locally, and there's not much popping up on the used market that's interesting.

 

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

Hard to say. I know even back in the day he was a bit of a gear nerd, so it might have had preamps and whatnot.

ALSO YEAH, been flirting with getting an 8-string again. I really like my cheapie Schecter C7 Deluxe, so I'm debating on getting the 8-string version.

Just bought a bunch of parts to customize my new Dean ML. I wanted to put a Les Paul pickguard on it but decided to leave it out on this one. I do want a second one to do that but for now I'll work on this one. Once everything comes in and the tech does the work I'll report back
