Oh, I've shamed The Crystal's hound. I'll go out back and whip myself accordingly. Forgive me, oh queen of the T-bird.


(heh, sorry 'bout that. Ye Olde Anglian Bullish Hound it shall be.)

I can only imagine what you go through at Catjam. I've got an image of a row of passed out drooling males circling the TC. They just couldn't handle seeing a girl do a motor swap. My advice, take the dog with you this year. :D

Owner: Ye Olde Anglian Bullish Hound

w00t! (ok, I'm using that too much these days)

I've just got my Fender hardshell, but it works plenty good. My dad's got a vintage Fender Mustang. One of the last one's ever made, according to the serial. He has it packed away and never plays it anymore. :(

Man, I've really got to get a decent amp. This Epiphone 10" practice amp isn't cutting it.
Title: Re: I just saw what crystal looks like.....
Post by: crystal on December 10, 2004, 10:41:46 AM
That amp setup cost me a wopping $600... see, I don't just luck out on car parts. The bass was $500
Title: Re: I just saw what crystal looks like.....
Post by: oldraven on December 10, 2004, 10:44:36 AM
$600 is a lot for a two piece setup like that? And $500 for an ESP is pretty decent. Maybe I'm losing something in the conversion.

I got an awesome deal on that stuff. The cab was basically liquidated and the head I bought "used" from a friend of a friend (it was used at 2 shows)

Now to get a pic of my dog in front of the car with the bass... yeah, that should do it :)

Guitars hey?
 
I've own"ed"
 
a black Gibson Ripper base - 1977ish
a Peavey 115 base amp
a red Fender Strat with the fine tuning POS
a Traynor mark III tube amp
 
sold them and put the money toward the t-bird fund.
 
I now have
 
a black Gibson Les Paul 1988
a black Gibson SG 1989
a Peavey 130 clasic chorus amp 1988
a Yamaha accoustic with 009" - 042" electric strings <- I play this one the most
 
...man I miss my ripper :(
Title: Re: I just saw what crystal looks like.....
Post by: oldraven on December 10, 2004, 12:26:14 PM
This is my other guitar. A Yamy accousitc. I bought this as an excuse to go to town and buy 'the ring'. ;) Anyway, this is a pic of an F310, which is the basic high end Yamy, but I'm not sure of what model I have, exactly. I'll find out when I get home. It's an accoustic/electric with a 3-way eq.

For those who don't know, these are nothing like the yamy's you see for sale in the Sears catalogue. In my opinion, they have the best tone you can get for the money. Around $200 for the same sound you'll get for a $500+ Washburn or Ibanez. Fender accoustics are garbage, at least from my experience with my brother's old one. Wouldn't keep tune for an hour.

A guy I know back east makes his own guitars. He doesn't sell very many at all, but he keeps on doing it anyway. When we runs out of materials, he takes an old one apart and starts over. :p They're beautiful guitars, and have an awesome sound, but I think it's cool that he just keeps on doing it for the love of it.

Anyway, here are some pics of 'my' guitars. Sorry they're not all spiffed up. Oh, and it apears I don't have an eq on the accoustic. (oops) I rarely plug it in anyway.

I'm rebuilding this dirty old thing for Ange, and will be stringing it left. She asked me to teach her, but without having her own guitar, I'd end up having to restring mine, and would have nothing to teach her with. :p I just hope it holds tune. There is no warping, or water damage. The neck is straight, and the frets are in line. All I need to do is reinforce the area where the bridge was ripped off, and reatach. I'm going to do some celtic knotwork with stain around the edge and up the center, before varnish. I just hope it works out.

Anyway, it's extremely dirty, and it's in the storage room, so forgive the mess. (this isn't the only room like that now, since we're renovating the kitchen too :wtf: )

where the bridge was ripped off, did it end up pulling the wood with it and splitting it?

i have an old acustic in my closet that the bridge got ripped off of and the wood split a bit
Title: Re: I just saw what crystal looks like.....
Post by: oldraven on December 12, 2004, 05:29:09 PM
A little. The wood around the peg holes splintered out a little bit, which is why I want to put a brace inside, and fasten the bridge down with some countersunk bolts, or screws if I have to. These things are made to pull the pegs out before to much carnage happens to the flat top. The one thing that worries me is that the wood around the bridge is raised a bit. I don't want there to be too much action for her first guitar.

Oh well, if it sounds like arse, I'll put some old strings on it and just hang it on the wall. We can buy her one, if need be.

I love peeler.  Ive bought just about every bit of musical stuff there cept for my stage head/cab cause i got a pretty good deal for them @ Mars.  Poor lil ampeg 15" couldnt take the workingman head power tho.  Found a replacement eminence delta speaker that can take 400w all day and sound nice and loud next to a pair of marshal half stacks.  I'll only use that in shows or soundproofed rooms tho... has a tendency to shake houses terribly *grins*

Thanks, Shawn. Did you play the Peavey? That guitar has the fastest neck and best action of any guitar I've ever owned, and I paid only $50 for it.
I played a set-up Mexican Strat that didn't play as well as that Peavey.
Title: Re: I just saw what crystal looks like.....
Post by: Tbird232ci on December 13, 2004, 02:07:15 PM
yeah, i played the Peavey, i think at the time it was lacking a string

i still need to restring my jackson, ive never messed with a floyd rose, so im still a little iffy about messing with it, i put new strings on my ibanez, but they were too heavy of a gauge so its pulling the hell out of the bridge, maybe sometime soon ill swing out to a guitar shop and get some ultra lights for the ibanez

That's the nice thing about a jazz bass. The neck is a little longer, but it's a lot thinner, esspecially at the head. I can touch my thumb to pinky around the neck down there. Super smoothe though. I've never played a six string, but have messed with a five string. It's odd. The top string is the additional, with a lower tone than the E (it's the b, right?). Is the sixth a higher string, on the bottom, or another low string? And they're not that bad to play.

It takes a long time to get used to the 6-string, and it's REAL heavy.
It actually belongs to my brother. He also has a 5-string Yamaha and a 4-string Ibanez. Those are sweet guitars.

Nice! :cheers:

How do you like it? I love the action, and having the jazz neck, it's the easiest bass I've ever played. (The hardest I've ever played was the stand up, but it's just too cool, so I forced myself to get used to it anyway :p )

Have you ever had the chance to play it on a Dunlop crybaby? These two were made for each other, man. Funk as good as it gets. :D
