Samcoma Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 indeed my price range is low. I agree with the flaming of the finish. It is gay!! only thing i like is the pups Yeah tbh they'll be better then having two P90's if you want more versatility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brinstar Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 P-90's are awesome. Just thought I'd add my two, or rather one cent(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samcoma Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 P-90's are awesome. Just thought I'd add my two, or rather one cent(s) Only bad thing is that on Squier tele's the P90's are rubbish That's partly why mine ended up dead mid gig a few years ago.

It's just falling to pieces so I'm gonna get another cheap one just to improve. Who knows I may even reach the dizzy heights of being worthy of playing a FENDER Tele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnerthekiwi Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 So I have come down to two: *Squier Obey Telecaster OR *Squier Telecaster Custom II (P90) I can't find any decent reviews on the net I can get the Obey Tele with a Behringer FX600 or the Custom II with nout and need to choose. Just tell me which one, I'm not a good player so it won't notice with me, just looking for the best for money Don't know if you will have seen these before but the word is that they're pretty well the best bang for your buck you can get Xaviere XV-600. Reviews here. or ... SX Tele copy with P-90 in the neck. Reviews here. With any luck I'll be getting the SX sometime next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liamoc123 Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Seeing as I've ordered the Obey Tele, has anyone any links to videos of one being played? Youtube only has about 2... the rest are of the propaganda tele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doog Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 haha if only I'd seen this thread earlier in the week. I've just bought a squier tele custom II and I couldn't recommend it enough - it's by far the best value guitar I currently own. paid £195 for the guitar, shitty gig bag (a bag is a bag tbf), set of schaller strap locks and set of strings. from initial doodlings it seems much much easier to control the amount of overdrive using the guitar's volume controls than on any of my other guitars (including my mex standard tele) and I love the way the p90s break up as you turn the gain up. admittedly the jack is a bit dodgy but that's not exactly difficult or expensive to replace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samcoma Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Can anyone recommend a decent harmoniser/appregiator rack? http://youtube.com/watch?v=jzgZx1o8ntY&feature=related Something like that but without the £2,000 price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you recommend it a lot then, Doog? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doog Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 well... I'd definitely recommend it (twice as much if you get someone who knows their guitars to give it the once-over before you buy and if you get it set up properly, to make sure the particular example is as good as it can be) but tbh I'll have to get back to you re: "a lot" after I've put it through my gigging amp. at the moment I've only played it through a marshall mg30 and most of us know what they're like for tonal quality...

brinstar Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 haha yeah, mg's aren't the pinnacle of tone. thank you very much though Doog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeychild Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Anyone want to recommend me a good distortion pedal? Something useable, not a 1 trick pony that'll just make my ears bleed. Maybe soemthing that can be used purely for sustain, light to heavy distortion, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisirhC Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 squier tele's are actually pretty amazing. They all come with p90 nowadays? nice bite the Ds-1 is around 30-40 pounds and a modded one, will work a charm at giving your signal that boost for lead playing.... steve vai uses one....plenty others do too....try youtube for a demo (search circuit bent ds-1) there are som comparisons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bshuker Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 What amp are you using it with, obviously if you're going to plug it into a Marshall MG don't bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbye Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 I've heard good things about the digitech hot head - available in london for about £30 theres some demos on the website. Its analog distortion that would be great for driving a tube amp. And the gain is supposedly a lot like the DS 1 except its cheaper and made just as well. I bought a second mand digitech bad monkey recently and will sing its praises whenever I can, I like it that much! Awesome for my peavey valveking.

whatshisface Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Has anyone had any experience with a Laney AOR or a Sovtek Mig? I can find them quite cheaply and I just need to know which has more clean headroom. Sounds pretty stupid to be looking at those amps for clean sounds, I know.
