What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

[technomancer]

Is the RG565 all done? Suddenly stricken with a severe lust for the greenish one. But there none to be found.... or is this just another casualty of the supply chain meltdown?

Pretty sure they were a limited run and are gone.

Actually I think having a neck pickup makes the bridge sound worse. I'm not sure why exactly but I think it does.



But most string sets are pretty unbalanced. I use balanced tension and I feel like the oddball for it. Would "normal" string sets still be fine? And if I use a weirdish tuning but compensate with string guage to keep tension balanced would that still be fine?

I wish string sets came 9-12-15-24-32-42 and 10-13-16-26-36-46. They seem pretty close in terms of tension per string type and between the two sets.

Acoustic treatment for my room...

I use D'Addario balanced tension sets, they're not super far off those numbers.

All done. Limited order.

Supposedly.

But that's also what they said about the RG550s way back when, so it's possible they'll make more or just make it a regular model.

So the C8 is actually pretty decent. Not sure if it's that extra 1.5'' of neck, better pickups, or a better sounding guitar overall, but I didn't get an immediate "oh god these pickups gotta go ASAP" response like I did with the C7.

I know most of you tone heathens won’t approve but get off my lawn.

And if you ever wanted to run higher gain through an ES but feared the feedback, Lucille ain’t got no F-hole!

Finally pulled the trigger on a Mick Thomson sig.

Stoked! It’ll be my first standard scale length guitar in years. I might swap the tuners for locking ones but other than that, I plan to keep it stock.

^ I like that he tries to get different tones out of the guitar rather than just showing the obvious (that is does blues well)

Anyone wanting to build a PedalPCB Muzzle noise gate , they have a new RetroFit Module THAT4301 that replaces that outdated THAT old IC....

Just ordered that and the PCB this morning.....Mike

Bought 2 of them last night.

Thomann, in Germany, are saying they'll have orange ones in 3-4 weeks and green in 7-9. That might happen, though sometimes their time estimates seem to keep getting pushed out without having an in stock period.

My Lucille shipped (Sweetwater glamour shots by Deb photos below).

I can’t wait to try it with the 5153 a la WVH. No F-holes so less feedback. Would still rather have a Trini Lopez but hey it’s as $4k less so…

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

I ordered two EMG 58 humbuckers. Plan to try them out in the neck and bridge with an EMG 60A in the other position.

↑ that looks fun.

I really liked the chorus and flanger in the G Major, but man was that thing a pain in the ass to get a good sound from. Too many parameters to adjust and I always found it difficult to navigate.

Definitely need to know how it compares to the 85 in the bridge.

And

And get my interface back out of storage

Also dumbass question, you absolutely do NOT need an external DAC or headphone amp when like, that's the job the interface is doing and it itself is a DAC?

Nevermind that model of GIO is backordered until January, shit.

I think that depends more on the headphone's impedance...? I just got a new pair of headphones and when choosing there were lots of different values of impedance, tried to search for that info on my audio interface and they say nothing about it on the phones outs...

Really thinking hard about this today, but no rhythm circuit and pau ferro causing some pause.
