Im trying to get rid of what gear I have.
Fancy gear, and effects & distortion in general is fun to jam with in an expressive yet nieve kinda way.
I find that people who are amazing players and session musicians etc, tend to just have one or two basic reliable guitars.
With skilled varied 'highly musical' playing, you rarely notice characteristics of the gear, just marvel at the music. Which is the way it should be I think.
That's true...although having loads of guitars doesn't make you a bad guitarist...it just doesn't make you a good one either...honestly to most people the majority of my guitars would just all seem the same, four PRS' isn't really variety but it's the way I've got them set up makes the difference and then my Ibanez was only purchased for the Floyd Rose which isn't available on any stock PRS models, then there's acoustics which is a whole different ballgame, they really are all different and no matter how good you are their individual tone will ring out quite strongly in comparison with electrics... then you've got completely different tones from different pickups, different woods, two "identical" guitars from any good manufacturer will sound completely different unless you're Van Halen...he could play a sweeping brush and make it sound like him ;)

Right, all the guitarists out there, favourite Electric, Acoustic, Bass, Pedal, Amp etc... lets have our gear lists here :)

^^^Sorry it's a shit phone pic from ages ago, not quite my whole collection but a sizeable majorityElectric: PRS Custom 22

^^^Sorry for the piss poor pics, this one's from a show at the Genko Uchida building in BerkleeAcoustic: Collings OM-2H
Bass: My mate Joel's homemade J-Bass

^^^Joel and his lovely homemade bass (The neck is from a vintage bass c. 70's)Pedal: Dunlop DB-01 Crybaby From Hell, Digitech Whammy or Line6 DL-4 Delay Modeller
Amp: Divided by 13 are the best I've played but I can't afford one yet so it's probably a Marshall DSL-100
Cables: Planet Waves
So what's everyone into gearwise??

well it's the end of the season..
I was hoping to maybe get some sort of training recommendations for over the winter, anything that might prove good preperation, I've never been on a track, I live in Dublin, think there only is one on Sundrive road but the way I see it is even if I train for it and don't like it when I try it I'll at least have done some good exercise... I know it sounds naive but I love cycling so I'm prepared to give it a good shot rather than just arriving at a track day and arsing around it would be nice to get some of the hard slog over and done with... I have started riding a lot more though and getting in longish rideds when I can...

Hey, so I've decided that I want to try my hand at track racing but I haven't actually done any competitive sports for years and I'm wondering what would be the best way to get myself into shape for it as I'd like to actually try and train for it before I try my hand.
I wouldn't be in the best shape I've been in but I'm not too bad and I was wondering if anyone could recommend some good training regimes or where I might find one...also I was wondering...and this may be a stupid question but...would it be more worthwhile to focus on fitness or strength, obviously it depends on the kind of races you intend to do but in general which would be a better use of my time as I've not tried it yet so I'm not sure what kind of races I'd like to try...
Sorry if this is a really stupid thred or if it's already been done but I'd really find it very helpful to get some advice from any of the racers on here...
Cheers...
Erik

+1 they're greeeeaaaaaatt, and cheap which is why I'm off to buy some more after losing mine...word of advice, when you cycle to the pub and then head to a club many drinks later don't put them on your belt for safekeeping as you will invariably lose them during drunken dancing

Haven't tried the Seth Lover, what's it like? I love PRS pickups, they're actually really good, the Dragon II pickup set is perfect, I do have a Dimebucker in my Tremonti though which is just the most metal pickup ever...most metal passive anyway!! Harmonics just appear from nowhere for those Killswitch Engage/Pantera/Zakk Wylde squeals
