MULLY Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Well, 666 posting his guitfiddles in that other thread brought this one to light. Post your guitars, basses, gear here. I'll go first. [img]http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/51/mullyszr6vo2.jpg[/img] L to R: Gibson Explorer, Peavey Wolfgang Special with b/w VH stripes, Kramer 5150, Peavey Wolfgang Special maple top, (front row) 1991 Fender Usa American Standard, Ibanez USA Custom. Amp: Peavey 5150II [img]http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/807/4guitarslg2xo6.jpg[/img] 2 guitars from the previous photo + 1989 Fender Strat Plus and Music Man Silhouette special. [img]http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3479/gits002hn1ti8.jpg[/img] Music Man Axis EX and Peavey Wolfgang Standard [img]http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/2412/wolfiemesafm4.jpg[/img] Peavey Wolfgang Standard (from above photo) + Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Trem-o-verb head, Peavey 5150II head, Mesa Boogie Single Rectifier 50w combo, and a Mesa Boogie Road King 4x12 cabinet. The first 2 photos above are guitars I had in the past. Little things here and there forced me to get rid of them. What I have now are in the last 2 photos. It took me a long time to end up with that Trem-o-verb head. I went through a Road King, a Triple Rectifier, and a Stiletto until I finally found the sound I was looking for in the Trem-o-verb. I will never sell it. MULLY the current guitars stay too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my defense though, so I don't come off as a complete weirdo, the maple topped Wolfgangs are guitars that I personally feel are really nice guitars. They fit my hands well and I love the oil finished necks. The striped guitars were for this little VH tribute solo thingy I used to do in our live shows as well as when we would do VH tunes. At first I actually tried not to look at the 5150II amp just because it was Eddie's model. I got to listen to one and was blown away by it. At the time I couldn't afford a Mesa and the 5150II had all the balls I was looking for. I don't want to sell the 5150II now because they don't make them anymore. The one in the photo with the Mesa is actually my second one, the first one being in the pic with all the guitars. As for effects I don't have anything other than a wah. I went through a bunch of different pedals years back but just got fed up with them. Right now I don't have a band going but if I ever get one up and running again I'm going to keep it simple and get the multi effects unit from t.c. electronic (Attn: Grammar police. They spell their name in lower case) I've looked at the G-Major and G-Force. Either one of them will do really. I think my next sound is going to be heavy distortion from my Mesa with a little delay and a little chorus. I don't need much. MULLY By the way, I let this guy get a picture with me.

In my honest opinion the sound of the Rectifier changed when Mesa turned them to 3 channels (Dual and Triple). I do a little side work for Mesa, translating when they come to Japan, and I've gone up one side and down the other with them over this and they swear the sound didn't change. Everyone I know, other than someone that works for Mesa, swears that it did. I know it did. Also, 100w-150w, not much difference when you have it cranked. To be honest, and I hate to admit it, this is too much amp for most live houses. Really think about it, someone like Edward Van Halen has like 3 or 4 heads to play someplace that seats 50,000 people. People like me are idiots for buying something with that much power. That little 50w combo in the photo is more than enough. 50w of tube power is pretty fucking loud. On a side note, I think the Triple Recti has a switch that you can go from 50w up to 150w. I had a Road King that did all kinds of stuff. Now that was too much amp. Wasn't reliable either. Funny story, a guy from Mesa was telling me about one of these major bands that had a wall of Marshall's on stage,because the guitarist has an endorsement deal with them, but when you went backstage he had 1 Mesa Mark II running the whole show.

CatScratchFever Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 I used to have, like, six guitars... one for every mood I was in. Then one day I got sick of shlepping them around every time I moved, which, back then, was often. So I ditched most of them and got a Parker Nitefly. Between it and a decent effects processor, I can get it to sound like pretty much whatever I want. The guitars it replaced: 1992 Fender Stratocaster 1990 Epiphone Les Paul (when Epi made stuff nearly on par with Gibson) 1971 Gibson SG (wish I had kept that one) 2001 Washburn Montgomery (fat hollowbody jazz box... fat sounds) In addition to the Parker, I've also got an Epi strat copy (my first guitar, I will probably be buried with it), an Oscar Schmidt orange acoustic, and a cheap Samick bass to fuck around with. All played through an old Digitech RP-6 and a Peavey Special 212. Sometimes I play them through my keyboard amp, a 1988 Peavey KB-100 (nicknamed "Peave" cuz the y broke off) when I'm in a weird mood. My keys are a classic Korg DW-8000, one of the first digital waveform synths, so I get all the great 80's new wave sounds. I record through a Fostex VM08 digital mixer and use an Alesis drum machine. A pirated copy of Sonar rounds out the studio. I've also got my grandfather trumpet, which I played in high school, two harmonicas and a kazoo somewhere.

MULLY[/quote] 50w is absolutely LOUD.. Most club soundmen will fight with you to roll back the volume even with a little combo amp.. So many of the big league rock bands of yor had the stage lined up with dummy cabs meanwhile ran a little one speaker combo mic'd up in the back and everything else was PA/monitor... And for recording - stacks are hardly ever used with a better result than a small rig (although I'm really digging on the Native Instruments Guitar Rig plug-in for my home studio).. I have to admit though that I'm totally not a Mesa or modern amp guy.. I had a Triple Rec and could not get a sound.. I like the old Marshalls - Plexis, Majors etc.. and some of the old Fender Bassman and AC30 amps work for me as well - it's just personal preference.. I'm assuming you guys are in the Cincy area.. Is that live music laundramat place still open? How about Bogarts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
