Edit: Should get around to taking some pics of my stuff sometime... Cheers! Yeh I got the m13 for a great price just over £200 and it's never let me down The quality of the effects are amazing especially the delays and modualtions, plus the scenes are a great bonus for different band situations Edit: Jimbo what sort of gear are you running?

Yeah, I was really impressed with most of the models in it. Especially dug the Octoverb I'm running: Guitars: MB-1, Elliott Tonemaster, '63 Jazzmaster > Pedals: Ernie Ball VP Jr. > JHS Bunrunner > JHS Mini Foot Fuzz > TC Polytune Mini > JHS Morning Glory > JHS Superbolt > Menatone Pleasure Trem 5000 > JHS Panther > Boss DD-7 > Neunaber Stereo Wet > Amps: Kay amps (1x10 and 2x10) and a '75 Fender Deluxe Reverb Getting ready to order a Whammy 5 and an old Fuzz Factory as well, so I'll factor those in soon. JHS Mini Foot is probably gonna get sold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So once I finally figure out how to update it I'll probarbley be getting either an ernie ball jnr or boss fv500h then I'm pretty much done.

MUCH. JHS. Shrew signed the Bunrunner. I like the Wet a lot. It sounds nice, low-depth sounds are nice and splashy and great for surf-style riffs, while higher-depth settings have a modulated, ethereal thing going on with the trails, very Edge-y but not exactly a "shimmer." But there is a Shimmer setting you can load onto it, which sounds really great as well. Guitar Center strung the Jazzmaster with .9s n00b mistake, as a general rule you don't string a Jazzmaster lower than .10s because of tension issues with the trem/bridge. I'm putting .10s on it soon, but might work up to .11s because there's a very slight bow in the neck that needs a little help. Then again, it doesn't bother me when playing, so I'll probably leave it as-is for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not entirely sure how that works myself, but I've never really messed with it. Met Shrew at a meet-n-greet before one of their concerts here. Yeah, I've seen some terrible setups at GC. Some they don't even work on - one time I went to check out a VOS Les Paul Goldtop which played terribly, intonation was way off, action was super high and it buzzed and rattled everywhere. I was so frustrated with it that I complained to the manager, who just shrugged and told me it came from Gibson that way so there wasn't anything they could do.

I must get my JHS signed next time shrew is playing at my local radio shack I only tried two other guitars besides the jazzmaster...one was this epiphone hollow body, but I couldn't figure out how to plug it in as it had this weird digital output henry j strikes again then this epiphone SG when I tested the amp...to be honest, with the exception of the setup being horrible, it didn't seem like a bad guitar. it was probably the cheapest model - bolt on neck and a single humbucker. seems like a massive improvement over what they made several years back anyway. when i was your age, i mean. and that sounds normal for a gibson anyway. i haven't played too many of those VOS things, but they all were pretty disappointing considering what you pay.

Hmm, digital output? Looks like I have to make a GC run today I'll check it out if they have one here... Yeah, although most of the Gibsons I've played there weren't too bad.

Oh yeah, that Vari-tone thing is weird... SG looks nice though, even if it doesn't have a P90 Yeah, I got a good deal on the Jazzmaster, too - the guy at Austin Vintage said he wouldn't dream of selling one like mine for under $4k, I got it for $3300. Mustang bridge actually fixed most of the problems I was having, I'm really pleased.

PVO_Dave Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Decided to make my '00 / '01 Mex Strat 'Roland Ready' with the Roland GK-KIT-GT3 - worked out quite well in the end, also worked first time which I was pleasantly surprised with given that I had to extend the wiring loom Completed 'Roland Ready' Fender Strat by Dave Witchalls, on Flickr YouTube vid showing more pictures whilst playing (badly a lot of the time) some of the patches in the Roland GR-20 I bought yesterday.
