I recorded this about 12 years ago. I did all instruments but acoustics EngineeringMixing-OmarRock-Soft_Rock_Ballad_Mix.mp3

What type of music you intend to play most?

Good evening, @otoledo, and ... ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Hello there. Was a guitar player for 30 years. Can't play as I used to due to Parkinsons, but still enjoy it once in a while. Had tons of gear throughout the years, Now I'm More inclined to using Amplitube. Anyway looking foward to chat about 6 strings related stuff. Here's a clip of me playing Crazy Train un memory of Ozz Crazy Train.mp3

Firewood - A Strat (if it's good enough for Jimi...) Weapon - a BC Rich of some sort or a Gene Simmons axe bass Play - My Harley Benton TE-62 or my Ibanez AS-73

Welcome!

You have just described the last 4 weeks for me. I'm up one self build with another in the works and two opportunistic bass purchases. I have officially run out of space and now have to set a rotating display on my hangers of the ones I don't play so often. Welcome brother...

Good evening, @StairliftToHeaven, and ... ... Plenty to read and amuse you here, and lots to learn and share.

Hi! Same as everyone else I guess. Too many guitars...ambitions to trim down the collection...then go and buy another one

A seymour duncan 'semi super switch' would give you an extra position which could be wired to combine coils from each pickup.

This might be the crux of Behringers defence. If Klon haven't been selling them and making profit, Behringer might say how can Klon claim damages when they haven't been losing money...and the Behringer circuit is in all likelihood an emulation rather than a copy knowing that timbre can't really be copyrighted or trademarked. In the PRS vs Gibson battle, Gibson's case hinged on there being the potential for confusion between the PRS single cut and Gibson LPs which didn't really stand up to the scrutiny that was eventually applied. Klon's lawyers may come back and say 'copyright or trademark infringement' based on the potential for confusion (depending on what is actually registered as a trademark) Or get a Digitech Bad Monkey :lol: Yeah I went there.

I figured it out. Sire T7. Nice.

Firewood; Gibson Les Paul Traditional. That thing weighed a ton. Would be a b*****d to light but would burn for days. Weapon; Another Les Paul Traditional please. No chambering means a lot of weight and once that gets swinging it translates into a lot of kinetic energy. Play; I’ll settle for my little Yamaha Revstar, thank you very much. Cheap as chips, nice and light and plays like butter.

Sad news indeed - I read somewhere that it was JHS’s wish that the company be wound up when he passed. Someone is bound to buy Vintage guitars - or at least , I hope so. Their reputation and history has to be worth something in today’s crowded market

https://www.guitarworld.com/music-industry/john-hornby-skewes-to-dissolve Big news. I hope somebody can at least save some of the brands. Vintage deserves to live on. As would Fret King if they'd do left handers...

Now I'm having lunatic ideas avout seeking out the "new" version. Ironically I might never have gotten round to it had the lawsuit not happened...

So... My Thomann box arrived a couple of weeks ago. Got around to opening it today. And looky what we have here...

I use a Seymour Duncan 'semi' super switch, I can change position 3 from middle pickup to bridge and neck.

And it's done. Had to do a lot of routing to get the bridge located properly including plugging and redrilling one bridge post 1mm further way. The wiring was a challenge, I spent three days of eliminating possible causes to arrive at only one conclusion, the pickup selector switch was faulty. My midboost preamp didn't work and I wasn't going to spend a week trying to troubleshoot it, so I bought one only to discover that the guy who build it didn't include separate earth and -9v wires. So had to jury rig something up to provide the output socket with an earth connection, the boost is definitely warm but it lacks the glassiness I expected. So I have on order a genuine Demester Fat Boost (Tyler style) and at some point I will probably wire the switches so they are series, phase and parallel. Although they were fiddly to solder as well. However, after a fret levelling and proper set up, it plays very nicely and has more sustain than my other two strats. I have no idea why. It's quite a warm and loud sounding guitar as well acoustically. More aging is needed on the sides and back but I have other things to attend to in advance of being in the UK next month.

Firewood: Any Gibson bass from the eighties. I don't care about flammable potential, I'm performing a public service here godammit! Weapon: Steinberger GL2 - wood is just not up to the task and original Steinbergers can really take a beating. Player: Probably the guitar currently being built for me if it turns out to be everything expected. Otherwise #1 MSG with the Armstrong pickups.

Firewood - heavy 70s Les Paul to keep the fire burning. Weapon - BC Rich Warlock Player - Strat

Been modding my Strat recently, thought I’d share in case helpful… First off - as I’ve not got the best technique, and don’t play that often, I was sometimes hitting the selector switch and volume knob, which is a nightmare for recording. So I took out one of the tone controls, and now have one volume and one tone and a nice gap where the original placed volume knob was, and the ‘F’ from a Lindy Fralin sticker to cover the hole. The switch was easier, just gave it a bend to stop me knocking it Next up - put in a ‘Gilmour Switch’, the best thing for me being you can have the neck and bridge pups on together, almost like a Tele. You can also have all 3 pups on together. Very simple mod if you can solder. That with a new bridge pup (Dimarzio FS-1) and I think my ‘61 AVRI2 is doing good
