Kiwi Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I've also got gas for a roadworn strat with a hard tail in olympic white. What are the chances of finding one of them, do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjas Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 I have GAS for an SRV #1 strat replica. I've wanted one for years so I think I'll have to have a go at making one, it will be on a budget though. Jas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 [quote name='Veils' timestamp='1441826868' post='2862164'] Hope you're feeling better dude! That's a hell of a find by the way! I've just paid 480 for a Japanese jazzmaster, but it's sunburst rather than the funky colour you've got. I may consider a refinish! [/quote] Yeah, it was a good price for a custom colour. It needed a new term arm & the pickup toggle was broken (which I knew about) so getting the parts to sort it out bumped the price up a bit. Still worth it though, great guitar!

GarethFlatlands Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) [quote name='RhysP' timestamp='1439497716' post='2843441'] A MIJ Fender Jazzmaster in Burgundy Mist. Which I have just bought..... [url="http://s86.photobucket.com/user/RhysP/media/Burgundy%20Mist%20Jazzmaster_zpshypwrmvx.jpg.html"][/url] [/quote] Nice! Rick McCollum of the Afghan Whigs was the inspiration for my Jazzmaster purchase ('98 Sunburst MIJ) and he played a burgundy mist but I didn't know the MIJ models came in that colour. Have to say I didn't like the stock pickups at all, either very low output or a bit squelchy at higher volumes but I replaced them with a pair of Mojo's and am really happy with the sound now.

ezbass Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I went to try out a couple of Gretschs at Guitar Guitar today. Didn't really like the Electromatic centre block 5620, but the 5420 was very nice and right up my street. For 'due diligence' I tried an Epiphone Wildkat which was OK (lovely P90s, tonally at least), certainly nicer than the 5620 and under half the price. One of the guys there (Epsom) suggested the Epiphone Swingster. Wow! What a great guitar. The pickups are a bit naff to look at, but they sound really good, I prefer them to the Gretsch Blacktops and acoustically it was much louder and richer than the 5420 (the Epi had trestle bars and no sound post) and the Bigsby was way more responsive. I reckon one of those might be coming home to Ez Towers in the not too distant future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 [quote name='Kiwi' timestamp='1441211978' post='2857006'] Gibson 335 or something similar - just so funky and sweet sounding. Would happily swap an MSG for one. [/quote] Meh, I've given in and commissioned a replica of Nile Rodgers' Hitmaker. Yammie MSG will be available to play at the SE Bassbash if anyone is interested...otherwise will be posted in the classifieds at the end of November.

Ancient Mariner Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Feeling miffed - I've kind of fancied a Washburn WI series guitar for quite a long time, and just 'won' a Trohman version on ebay for £67.

I think the PRS has been around a couple of years now, and has been a great success. Bernie uses stock models live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassbiscuits Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 (edited) I've picked up one of the Bernie Marsden PRS SE models after gassing after one for ages. And yes it is a cool guitar. Not a day has gone by when I haven't played it walking round the house, on the sofa etc. It's great. In terms of what I'm gassing for now, it has made me sit up and take notice of real USA PRS guitars ( after a lifetime of Fender dedication ) and I've realised they're absolutely awesome, tho well beyond my price range. But keeping an eye peeled for an American PRS singlecut. Mmm. Edited November 1, 2015 by bassbiscuits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have an SG with P90s which sounded lovely, tho I didn't get on that well with the rest of the guitar design.
