Guest Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 absolutely impeccable. i think this may challenge black carbonita and m1d1 as my favourite mansion it also looks muuuuuuch better without a scratchplate i think. i'm not a big fan of the one on mine.

crazybobbles Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 haha well olly and i together own all your favourite guitars from the sounds of it. yeah i was contemplating mirror scratchplate back then but then decided against it. No screw holes so I would assume they install it after the factory stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Share Posted October 18, 2013 Cool. Are you still using that Laney combo through a 4x12? Also, is that bluesbreaker being used as a boost or a standalone overdrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramatic Hammer Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 Cool. Are you still using that Laney combo through a 4x12? Also, is that bluesbreaker being used as a boost or a standalone overdrive? Had to sell the 4x12 but to be honest at the moment I'm using whatever the venue/promoter supplies Live I generally set up with a cleanish tone on the neck pickup, which results in the bridge being dirty and the bluesbreaker is a brilliant extra gain stage. It doesn't do much by itself (even with gain on 10) but it layers amazingly. Basically a dirty boost with a tiny bit of tone-shaping. For recording I just lower the amp gain and it breaks things up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowella Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Picked up my Acoustic 220 bass head today, complete with missing slider knobs and old house scent. Freaking loud. Still fiddling with the very versatile EQ to hone in on my tone, pretty good replacement for $200. Edited October 20, 2013 by Crowella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don'tPostThePear Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Picked up my Acoustic 220 bass head today, complete with missing slider knobs and old house scent. Freaking loud.

That kinda looks like the "mistery head" from this article, i'm jelly (i won't put it in tags, it is too big) http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q93/littlevegasandthefuzzparade/deathfromabove1979bassist8ut.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowella Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Barely a 'mystery', they are the same brand, that's why. The JPJ reference was a give away. That's an Acoustic 450, for bass or guitar. A lot of people will mention it's a 360 but that's only a preamp and not similar in appearance. They also have an on board distortion which can do oscillations and a few other tricks, pretty nice fuzz from the clips I've heard. http://acoustic.homeunix.net/twiki/bin/view/Acoustic/GuitarHeadOrBassHead450 Such an old school sounding amp and it rattles the house down. I'm a little scared, I only bought it to tide me over while my Ampeg is being repaired. Edited October 20, 2013 by Crowella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Get the polytune... Forgot about that one. My main problem with my current one is that it doesn't pick up all the different strings (there are as many as seven on my guitars!) that well. Cables all over the floor - the sign of a true musician! I second the Polytune. You could even get the mini version if you need to cram it in there somewhere. Which one do you have? Also, that last sentence combined with the winking smiley made me slightly uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
