Eminence Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Share your gear / have some music talk. Guitar(s): Squier Bullet (Electron Blue) Cost: $50 It's pretty much the default beginners guitar not bought at Toys R' Us or Target. The action is ridiculously high; the pickups sound like garbage; it barely can stay in-tune; but give someone a 20 watt amp with an awful "Overdrive" channel and they'll have a blast with it. Side-note: It's actually sitting in pieces in my closet right now. I plan on upgrading it somewhere down the line. Fender Stratocaster (Mexican) Cost: $300 Solid-solid guitar. Bought it because I was obsessed with Fenders at the time. Great guitar for people who want to test the waters of taking music serious; gives you a wide-medley of sounds to play. Awesome "eye-grabbing" color. Side-Note: This was the first guitar I've ever played anything "live" with. It currently has issues with the input. I've got to solder a wire back together. Agile AL-3100 White Gold HW Cost: $450 Wow. This guitar was the greatest value I've ever had. From the way its cosmetics to the way it plays. Always wanted a Les-Paul styled-guitar. It blows away Epiphone Les-Pauls but it's no-where near close to a Gibson. Amps: Behringer V-Ampire Cost: $200 My "main" amp. Looking to upgrade ASAP. Been using my friends Line-6 half-stack; looking to buy a half-stack for myself soon. GREAT amp for beginners; you've got a cavalcade of different models and effects. It actually sounds GREAT until you play it compared to a tube-amp. - That's what I'm playing with SFGHQ. I know there are other musicians out there. As far as what I do. I play guitar and sing. My voice goes along the lines of Kill Hannah, Local H, Smashing Pumpkins, the Cure, Nirvana, etc. Anything rock-driven I'm down to play; I shy away from metal however. Tell me about your own music exploits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ristar Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I'm a singer songwriter and composer. I own a Taylor Acoustic Guitar... dunno what model it is cause it's in my flat in Leeds and I'm 60-odd miles away from it. I also own a Gibson Les Paul Studio and a customised no-name stratocaster that cost about £120. I put on a nice humbucker and it sounds wonderfully shite. As for amps I have a Fender Princeton (I think) amplifier that all my uni work sits on top of; and at home I own a Marshall TSL-60 head, hooked up to a hand built cabinet containing a 1960's fender speaker, both of which have probably frozen in this weather. At my computer I have a Presonus Inspire 1394 and a set of M-Audio AV40s. I use Ableton Live, FL Studio 9 and openMPT. I think that's about it. Oh and I use an M-Audio Oxygen 25 for keyboard stuff. - and for miking I have an AKG Perception 120. --- as for stuff I play... Neil Young and Nick Drake mainly atm. Was learning a fair bit of Opeth then my tastes sort of mellowed out. though I can play about 80% of Nirvana's songs cause I used to be a little fanboy.

tentril Posted December 29, 2010 Report Share Posted December 29, 2010 Umm, right now I don't really "own" very much. I have some Yamaha bass I'm borrowing from a friend until I buy my Ibanez SR505 early next year. Some crappy Casio keyboard I think. A pretty decent acoustic guitar that I don't remember the brand of and can't check because its at home. Thats about it as of now. Things I play are video game music (mostly FF and Zelda), Muse, some Devin Townsend a bunch of random stuff... I'm hoping to get a band going at some point so I can get better and I'm taking bass lessons. I also sing but meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron C-T Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I have a Squire P-Bass and a Peavey Basic 60 amp. I'm really wanting a cheap ukulele lately, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ristar Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 fuck ukeleles. everyone has one. try learning mandolin or banjo. both are infinitely better than ukelele. and if you don't like mandolin or banjo, listen to John Martyn's "Over the Hill" or Neil Young's "Old Man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luksamuk Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I'm a singer and music composer too, but I do not own electric guitars simply because I make voice & guitar music only, and that's my style -- but it doesn't mean that I'm not eclectic though. I still plan on making eletric guitar-based ballads. I have a black acoustic Condor nylon guitar and a Strinberg steel string guitar which can be plugged in an amp for eventual gigs I like to play only for my friends. People keep telling me that I have talent, but I don't know if I'm gonna deal with a professional career. Hey, talking about that, does anyone knows the best kind of eletric guitar for someone who likes to play fingered music? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
