What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

[Vyn]

I got stupidly major Ibanez gas... probably will buy one of these from local used gear marketplace. And I will see after that if my Solar gets sold, sorry Ola. Just can't get along with the neck and weight of that one.

I have this, the one with the trem (NGD incoming when I've got the time) and the 7 string version. Favourite guitars Ibanez has put out in a while!

I had one in 1999 and I want it back, that’ll complete my 10 guitar collection. The last piece I want, and I waited for the end because I need to find one for under 1k.

Are you a wizard or something?

How did you know, StevenC?

Because only wanting 10 guitars is impossible.

So i ended up getting a BKP Painkiller for a price that was too good to be true. Hoping i don't regret it.

What guitar is it going into? I've always been somewhat curious about the Painkiller

Truth. I bought a Strat not even 3 months, just kind of a right place/right time thing, and now all the sudden I have 3 Strats!! I'm not even done modding them all yet, and now I'm eyeballing Teles.....

Thinking I should quit saving for an Eventide H9000 and just settle for a H9 Max.

LTD EC400VF. Poor man's Les Paul Standard. All mahogany sumbitch.

Nice! Be warned they're addictive...

Yea I can confirm that man. It's a mind blowing guitar.

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

I still hate the shovel portion of that guitar, but the overall shape doesn't bother me as much. I plan to never try one out, though. I don't think my wallet wants to go on that heavy of a diet to afford such a guitar.

 

[Soya]

I had to sell mine to pay for an emergency down payment on a car, but I still regret it. But in hindsight it was way more guitar than I deserved owning.

 

[technomancer]

I honestly hated the Majesty when they came out, but they look MUCH better in person than in photos and play and sound fantastic.

 

[protest]

I HATED them when they came out, and I still don't like the look of the original solid colors with the black shovel. The versions where the shovel matches the rest of the finish look way better in person, and like Techno said they play and sound amazing.

I always swap the pickups out of my guitars, even if they come with nice pickups. I just never like the way a guitar sounds stock, but this and my JP16 are 2 of the best sounding guitars I've ever played.

It's gonna slay. Really, you shoudn't be disappointed at all!

Good to hear. I have a JB in it that sounds pretty good, but I needed some tighter low end. The Painkiller sounds like it'll still retain the JB's upper mids while tightening the lows and boosting the output a bit as well.

Got my Marshall cab on the way to me for my Micro Dark mini-stack. Paid $50 more for the aesthetics over the Fender SC112, but I'm OK with it; hell, I'm more annoyed over the cost of speaker cables than the cab.

 

[MFB]

Just curious, what kind of stuff do you like to play with the crush? Like deathmetal fast stuff? Or more of the chugs? Bands for example?

Coming back to this since I've now played my Micro Dark and can compare against my Tiny Terror/Crush it's definitely much tighter and honestly, if you want to use it as a rig for techier metal, it could probably support it. I've got mine as a thrash/tight grind sound, and I assume the main difference is that it's solid state power section vs. full tube setup. I never tried the Crush for death metal, as I can't play it for shit, but I assume as an all solid state head it would basically be like the old school death metal days with a British voicing to it.
