Dream Digger Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 i dunno if it can keep up with a wal bass. Me neither - never had an opportunity to play a Wal, so... dunno. Wal basses are so PHWOAR though... And they sound sooo good on recordings! But, mind you, they're VERY expensive - it's Alembic/Fodera territory (and the same class, I believe). Anyone know how this nexus strato plays and how much they go for, and where you could buy one? thanks.. I know they are made in Poland so basstard any ideas? Edit: http://www.nexus-guitars.com/gmstrato.html heres the link for the guitar for more pics . They're custom made - you'd have to contact mr Jacek Kobylski for a custom quote. I guess his email address is somewhere on the website. Anyone have any brands or models to recommend in the area of fretless basses? For $600 - 1000? First and foremost, you should do your search on a 2nd-hand market. You can find some nice deals if you search well! Second, a fretless Jazz is a sure shot almost everytime. You can also check out the stuff Polish luthiers make - Nexus can be a bit too expensive (to get a good custom-made one you should be prepared to shell out $1500 + ) but you might want to look at beauties mr Krzysztof Kania makes (these two are probably more expensive but he could make a more simple bass for you - bolt-on, passive, standard woods like ash or alder etc. - and it would still be a helluva bass, plus it would be noticeably less expensive... the guy has really good prices!)

Fernando Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 That'd cost a lot to ship though. Oh well, I've got plenty of time to look for something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandaren Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Looking for a new guitar. I basically want something that can pull off hard rock well but can also handle other genres relatively well. I hear that telecasters can be quite versatile and the ones I've played have been pretty comfortable. I'm going to be trying some guitars in shops obviously, but just want some suggestions to get me going. I have about £400 to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 i would reccomend a schecter, ibanez and maybe esp. but i am more inclined today to reccomend a tokai love rock lp copy http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Washburn-WI66-PRO-G-Electric-Guitar-Gold-Top_W0QQitemZ280158950526QQihZ018QQcategoryZ33048QQcmdZViewItem http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Tokai-LS48-Electric-Guitar-Transparent-Red-Finish_W0QQitemZ280160013988QQihZ018QQcategoryZ112670QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samcoma Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Since I haven't recommended anything for a while, For all your recording and mixing needs try the Yamaha MW12C. Its loaded with Cubase AI4 and gives you a awesome recording facility and at a low price £229 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a tele can definitely be versitile but if you want to play hard rock you might have to change the pickups. If you you get a highway one tele they've got a pretty punchy pickups from the get go, but the cheapest they go for is £439 you can get GAK to match this though.

Indeed. When I was getting tele done there was quite a nice gibbo SG getting resprayed to look like Clapton's "The fool" Sg. Nice job on it to defo looks the bollocks.

Samcoma Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Could of posted in the problem solving thread but meh. I'd recommend the takamine eg series as they're great for price and playability, they also sound great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyldesigns Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Which one of these amps would you choose for: AC/DC type rhythm Guitar volume cleanup for cleans Smooth lead with boost (eric johnson / Bonamassa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatshisface Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 if anything, get the silver jubilee just because they're pretty rare nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haze015 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Which one of these amps would you choose for: AC/DC type rhythm Guitar volume cleanup for cleans Smooth lead with boost (eric johnson / Bonamassa) if you can crank it, a Plexi, with the channels bridged. though a '67 wouldn't be my choice, if you want one of them, get a super bass, exactly the same but nowhere near the price and the year is irrelevent, if you want a plexi for what it's famous for, you get a later one. a jtm45 is too smooth, a silver jubilee is built for a totally diffferent purpose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 basically what he said The super basses aren't exactly the same to be honest. Yeah, I know they are basically the same circuit with a few changes, but the sound itself is a tad different. super lead has a brighter, less bassy sound with earlier break up super bass has a fuller sound, more focused in the lower mids. late break up. and +1 on bridging the channels, the super lead is overly bright sometimes with the bright channel alone. don't remind me of what happened when i ran the super basses second channel by itself...
