If anyones interested, my guitar teachers band will have their video playing on video hits (australian music show) tomorrow.

[QUOTE=dirty harry;22214351]Just been looking at some Rickenbackers.
Although the 325 is still my favourite, the 620 stood out to me, as it's actually affordable (£1300, as opposed to the £3300 325).

I can't decide what I think of it.[/QUOTE]
Jesus christ I want that guitar
[QUOTE=Dopey Trout;22190168]They are self distributed like a lot of smaller companies do. If that alone is enough to put you off then fair enough, they don't need to the business of a brainwashed elitist tool.[/QUOTE]
There's being "elitist" and there's not being a moron.
Let's say I was considering a few guitars, because I am- two six strings (an Eclipse II and a Les Paul Studio) and three seven strings (Horizon NT-7, Interceptor Pro 727, local yokel custom job.) Of these, I can actually go demo three, right now if I felt like it. Of the two I can't, only one I know won't suck.
Gee, real hard to pick one to eliminate from the list, eh?
I keep writing music and as a result, my enthusiasm for guitar has waned. I don't like the music I like. I don't think anyone likes the music they like when they first start writing but I've been writing for a while now, and I still don't.
I think one of the problems is I only have a guitar, but I want to experiment with synth effects and the like and my lack of a keyboard is not letting me.
Writing music is more fun with if you're doing it with other people.

ESP Eclipse II will rape a Les Paul Studio, ESP Horizon NT-7 will demolish an Agile, and unless the local luthier is superb, then it'll fuck up the custom too. 7>6, decision made.
If you'd laid out your options and your price range then maybe people wouldn't have recommended a guitar that was a third of the price of the other option you were looking at. But maybe that's just wishful thinking :v:
Here we go this is my bass, its huge compared to me.

Pretty nice actually, what type of bass is it?
I have one of those jumbo acoustic ones... can be a bit hard to play

Its acoustic, electric. Its huge compared to me.
Thinking about putting a Bigsby B7 on my Casino when I have the money, which might be sometime after my exams are finished.
Never seen this design before.

zing!
I meant the graphic.
Serious.
What I have never understood was, why not put decent amp electronics inside a guitar?
It's nice to see a flag finish that isn't the fucking rebel flag
[QUOTE=Siminov;22242767]What I have never understood was, why not put decent amp electronics inside a guitar?[/QUOTE]
Weight issues mainly. You ever tried lifting a decent amp? Imagine having that strapped around your neck. Micing for gigs would also be nightmarish
ah, I see.
Although having a 3-band EQ is fairly common in basses, and you can get effects like OD put into the guitar itself, which would be a rough approximation of having an amp head in your guitar
I found the guitar of my dreams! Epiphone Les Paul "Black Beauty" Deluxe.
Only 650 bux oh god oh god oh god oh god oh god!
I don't dream big, these are my two dream guitars.

Also the acoustics would suffer.

Fair enough, Gibson flying V is great.
SG is meh, got bored of it's design.

Rather have a Dean? :v:
Much as I like the SG aesthetically, the fact that it's a really bad design for a guitar upsets me :saddowns:
Gibson Vs bug me for some reason.
Maybe I'm just more accustomed to them as a metal guitar, so the Gibs' rounded edges put me off
Only $600 :<

I kinda want a Stiletto for my next bass, or some sort of fretless

Why do you say the Eclipse is better than the Les Paul Studio?
And I don't know that I'd like a 6 or 7 more yet, that's part of why I wanted to try 'em firsthand. For all I know I'd like the 81/60 EMGs' sound more than the 707s'.
Hell, I don't know that I wouldn't still want the Interceptor if there's odds I could resell it if I thought it sucked.

I don't really have a price range so much as I'm willing to spend whatever I need to. If it's cheap, whoo, if not, que sera sera.
The Eric Clapton show yesterday was fucking badass.
