Right! Post number 1....!! Enjoy.

Jackson Professional Fusion w/DiMarzio ToneZone in Bridge (primary)
Jackson USA DR-2 Dinky Reverse w/SD Screamin' Demon in Bridge
->
Boss Chromatic Tuner
->
Boss NS-2
->
Mesa Dual Rectifier, 3 Channel
->
Marshall JCM 800 4x12 Cab

I use a variety of cables (Pirahna, Planet Waves, Sound Control), Jim Dunlop Tortex 1mm picks, Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings. All guitars tuned E-E.

This is my regular rig for rehearsal/gig. I also have the following bits & pieces that I get out occasionally:

Jackson USA Soloist bolt-on from 1990 (broken at the mo)
Tanglewood accoustic (dunno the exact model)
Boss GT-3 (home use only)
Marshall JCM 900 100w head (backup)
Marshall Shredmaster (I use this as a backup - nice pedal)
Jim Dunlop Crybaby Original
Boss Pitch-Shifter/Harmonizer
Audio Technica True Diversity UHF (broken PSU, but usually leant to band's bass player!)

There we are. I play for a pretty aggressive metal band, so the rig is set to reflect that.

I'm on the lookout for a Mesa 4x12 at the moment, so I imagine that this rig will change in the next few months.

EDIT: I have posted pics on page 2 of the thread. Also have acquired a Blackmachine B2 but more on that further down!

Update 1: I forgot about a Mesa V-Twin that I have lying around. I blew it up a while back & need to get it fixed. Running theme, here.

Update 2: I have just ordered a Tone-Jam 'Sniper' modded GE-7 EQ. Bring on the boost! Will update when it arrives.

Sniper modded GE7, nice!

Nice rig btw

hairychris444 · #4 06.28.05, 10:12 AM

Cheers! It's just unfortunate that I break things, really!

I was on the lookout for an EQ, and found that these modded babies only costed £20 - £30 (€35 - €55) more then a standard one! £90 including delivery =

Cant wait to hear it through my Mesa...

Been a while. I know I have posted no pics of the rest of my stuff, but I do have a new addition:

&*^% curtain alert. I'm renting!!!

Carvin 727 (with acoustic & Jackson Fusion - I hope you like the strap! - behind. Rest of rig @ studio). Pretty stock - rock maple thru-neck, trans green finish, coil tap, phase switch, ebony fingerboard, etc, etc. eBayed for way less then I should have paid for a showroom condition guitar.

One of the best built guitars I have ever played - I cannot recommend Carvin enough! Plays well, and sounds really nice - plenty of mids & top along with the low B.

I really need to get photos of my other rubbish.

Hahahaha, is that the leopard skin strap that you're talkin about? THAT'S AWESOME! It's so hot, especially on such a metal guitar

Seriously, I love it!

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for the Carvin? And where did you get it?

hairychris444 · #8 04.12.06, 11:48 AM

Right, I've not been here a while.

Carvin was on eBay from the US. Cost me about £450 or so, including postage. Nice bloke who collected Carvins - it's in showroom condition!

My band's other guitarist got the same model, nicer (blue) colour, rectangular inlays & active electronics for about the same, although it had a few dings.

Lovely guitars, especially seeing that 2nd hand ESPs were going for around the same price!

fburn your rig so cool

Just a quick one.

1) I have now got my pedals, channel switcher and wireless fitted into a SKB pedalboard + 3U rack combo. It's a bit plasticy but solid with the lid on. Makes setting up dead quick. Yay!

2) Trying to do a deal on a handbuilt beast at the moment. If this comes off I will be selling my Dinky, Soloist, Carvin, and some other crap to cover it. I haven't taken the Jacksons out of their cases since I moved in December so I think this may be worthwhile. I'll know more next week...

3) My band are talking to the importers to see what deal we can get on 2 Diezel Herbert heads. Looks like we'll get them for well under the price of a new Dual Rec each.... Oooooh yes.

In a good mood today!
