Let's have a thread about guitars

there appears to be a pattern here.....




edit:
"where did you get such a sick guitar strap?" you ask with genuine wonder.
"passenger side seat belt!" I reply with a grin as I hit the gas.

If you play in a cover band that has to do multiply genres, a POD will work well. In fact, it will certainly sound better than your bass running through a Crate guitar amp. However, I still think your money would be better spent on a used G-K head and a bass cab.

kronus, no pics of the process, since I can't wrestle a neck, a steamer & a camera all at the same time. The neck appeared perfect before removal (save for the 2 inches of play @ the headstock). Once I got it out, the heel turned out to be in 4 pieces. I had to finish each break so I could glue it up properly. This turned into an ugly deal on the heel finish, but should be a structurally sound joint. Final gap-fill glueing tonight.

[quote=quickervicar;1811053]Just sold my Bass POD LiveXT. Reason being: it always sounded exactly like what someone sitting at a computer thought an amp sounded like. It was quite believable. Until you heard that actual amp. Then you realized that it will never be what you want it to be.

Thanks, that's what I thought. I've only had my bass for a little over a year, and haven't had the money to pick up a bass amp. I'm running it thru a Crate guitar amp currently. It doesn't sound too bad, but I would like to be able to get some real bass tones, and I was hoping that a Pod would work. I've been looking at some Line 6 amps, but it will be a while before I would have that much extra money. That sucks that they don't work well.

I reset my first SG neck today. Clamps are still on so I don't know how it turned out. I do know that when you start with a neck heel in 4 pieces, then you can't expect perfection. I just hope it turns into a solid worker, since it won't win any pageants.

Pics of the process? I might need to do that on my project SG :(

Any one have any input on a Line 6 Pod? I've been looking at the Bass Floor Pod, but I've seen mixed reviews.

I bought mine to help my Nemesis combo become more versatile at gigs. Every time I gigged with the POD I was never happy with the tone (sterile or boomy or tinny or something). I would then plug straight into the combo and be instantly happy. They may work someday, but not yet. At least not for me.


Tele pics will come in due time. Lollars haven't arrived yet & I'm still trying to figure out how best to age the raw wood on the neck (as well as the headstock). I might end up smoking it.

I just relic'ed a Tele exactly like that over Christmas! Mintguard & Lollars to arrive in a week. (sweet Nash, btw)

Nice. The Nash has lollars in it, they come exactly how I would build one.

I love that tele though. Its a highway one so its the cheapest American one you can get. It isn't the most resonant guitar in the world, but it plays amazing. The finish is real thin which lets the guitar breathe, but it wears off pretty easily.

Got any pics of the tele?

Nash S-62:



Basically a Fender Custom Shop Strat.

And my telecaster:



And I have a Fender Blues Deluxe with vintage toobz.
