Gear Purchases

yeah, its all organized now and the effects are actually in the back of an ac30 combo cab and I just connect a few cables and the midi controller, select a bank set up for the number of amps I am using.... AND HAVE AT IT

Just received my Fender Signature Chris Shiflett Telecaster Deluxe. (White 2015) Love it! Absolutely LOVE it!!! ~m

I've been putting my guitars into the external audio input of my Moog Sub Phatty the last week or so. Its really amusing to treat your guitar like a synth, especially if you have a bunch of guitar effects like octafuzz and chorus sandwiching the Moog filters, drive, envelope generators and LFOs

ANy chance we can get some photos of your new piece?

Sure thing. I'll do that. Give me a day or two. Cheers! ~m

I just got my new Spector Euro 5LX today. It's amazingly different from the Legend series in tone and feel. You can still hear the signature growl of the Spector body, bu tit seems punchier than my other Spector. I can make it sound like a basketball bouncing. The action is the lowest I've ever played on, so Good on Chicago Music Exchange for setting it up proper.

Tomorrow, I will sit down and piece together my first pedalboard. One of my band members works at Guitar Center and hooked me up with a 20% discount on some George L's patch cable kit. I'm also getting my molded in ear monitors this week, so on Sunday I will have about $2500 of all brand new gear with me on stage. It's a good day.

That body shape is fairly pleasant to look at.

They are HIGHLY sculpted bodies. The most comfortable back of a guitar I've played with. It's practically a hollowed out sphere on the other side and it fits your belly perfectly inside it. You get to feel the notes your playing through the body a lot more than a flat back.

I guess I can tolerate teles, SGs and LPs because I have flat abs. Straight up and down so no contouring needed.... but maybe I should start drinking more beer and get something with some serious tummy contouring!

Those bastards. I just opened all my new gear and started arranging it on where I'd like it to go on the Pedaltrain. The Yankee PS-M2 doesn't fit under the pedaltrain. I've seen some yankees under pedaltrains I think in videos, but this one is not working. I'd hate to have my power-supply on top, wires running everywhere, like some kind of 5th grade science experiment.

The looks o fit aren't why you get a Spector. It's for the growl baby :)

Also, check out this arched back. This is a Legend Series Spector which used to be their bottom end product.

I'd be more comfortable with a convex back. That one looks like it'll push into your stomach too much.

The only convex back guitar I've played was an Ovation and it was very uncomfortable. The only way the Spector back could PUSH on your belly is if you are playing with the body at your chest or over your hips. Wherever the guitar sits on your torso when you sit down and play is where the guitar should be when you stand.

voodoo lab. the pedaltrain is designed for it

Ah, yes... Ovation. Whnever I got to Guitar Center nowadays, I either look for a Martin 000-15m or an Ovation Celebrity. I hate how it feels, and the very few times I played it yielded a bad sound, but I just love the aesthetic...

Lol I need my guitar or bass at least Trujillo low

I seriously thought about a Voodoo Mondo, but it just didn't have as high of specs as this lower end Yankee did.

That's a good way to need wrist surgery down the road :)

Well, those damned Canucks I bought my Yankee from sent me a European plug... AND of course it didn't fit under my board. I ended up running to guitar center where my church band's guitarist works and got a Pedal Power Plus 2. After I bought it, they mentioned they didn't have the brackets to put it underneath. Uggh.

The new spector is wonky. 2 volume controls and two other knobs that I cannot figure out what they do. It's.... different. All day I was either super boomy or you couldn't hear me at all. My specotr Legend custom puts it to shame.

Maybe, but I'm fairly comfortable the way I have. Maybe it's long arms or something to that effect, but I don't have to bend my wrist too much.
