Hey guys. I've been playing guitar since I was 14... and believe me, that was a long time ago hehe. This is actually my 4th electric guitar, but my first real one, considering all of my early ones were local imitations (I call them Sta. Mesacasters, bec. that's were I bought 'em) of the venerable Fender Strat. This one's a Yamaha Pacifica with a Dimarzio Super Distortion humbucking pickup at the bridge (a DYI job) with the stock bridge pickup move to the neck position. The single coil at the middle stay as is.

I bought it from RJ at the Galleria around way back '96. It was priced at 2500PHP I think. It was more expensive than the guitar I had then (a Sta. Mesa strat clone) hehe. Now it's installed in my Pacifica. I liked its sound because it fits the music I usually play (metal, rock or punk). It's a bit harsh for blues though.

Thanks bro. I'm still wishing for a Gibson Les Paul Standard though.

May I know how much did you spend for the D'MARZIO HB pickup ???

I'm planning to change my guitar's (look at that IBANEZ GXR370 Silver Burst) bridge pickup as well with D'MARZIO but AUDIOPHILE is selling those single pickups for 2,800 already. WOW!!! :boo: How much would that be for a Double HB....

[milhouse83]

Anyone here also sells GTR. FX.

Preferable ZOOM 707 II or DIGITECH GNX / RP200 effects ???

Pls. PM me. Budget for ZOOM 707 II would be 6K - 7K.

Should be JAPAN made not CHINA for ZOOM. :thumbsupsmiley:

i used to own a zoom 707 II, but i sold it in exchange for a digitech rp80. yung zoom, sa distortion lang okay. kuha niya yung scooped metallica/pantera dist.

 

digitech naman, hindi pang metal yung distortion. pang ledzep/ac dc/sabbath lang. pero kuhang kuha yung "little wing" & "nothing else matters" tone.

 

wah sucks on both units (as expected). pero maganda yung whammy & yah effect ng digitech.

mga pre pano ba setup nyo ng effects? kc analog at digital ang gamit ko, pero gus2 ko din ng effects ng tube amp ko. pakisabi nmn setup nyo. thanks. :cool:

[16track]

I have a simple setup:

 

For a bluesy/ classic rock gig, my effects are chained in the follwiing manner:

 

My signal goes through a Boss Chorus followed by a Boss Acoustic simulator, then a Boss DS1 and then Blues Driver. The Boss Blues Driver is usually used as my primary distortion but the DS1 is turned on when I want to have the extra bite for solos. The Acoustic Simulator works very well with the Chorus.

 

For a longer and more modern gig, my setup consists mainly of my Zoom 707II which seems to cover all the sounds I need. Some of the pre-sets are ok but I twiddled with the others more to my taste--like the Pat Metheny setting--which I tweaked with lesser chorus and less mids but paired with a different cabinet and speaker setting.

 

I used to have a Korg AX1 which I loved but I don't use anymore on stage as it did not have a back lit display. Very hard to see in a dimly lit stage.

 

As for amps, I play whatever is available in the club or stage. If I know the sound system provider--then I request for Fender amps with two 12 inch speakers or a Roland JC120. Usually kasi, you go on stage and there's already a setup-- mostly with amps in bad shape.

experiment mo bro...dami kasi fx ngayon eh. i have the standard set up for my analog ex guitar-noise supp-comp-dist-eq-chorus-delay-amp if im using digital its guitar dist(for boost)-wah-multi fx-amp

[SnowKing69]

The most bizarre for me is that Albert Collins play his Telecaster in an OPEN F#m tuning. He does not play slide and he does not use a pick--opting to pluck / pull strings with his bare fingers. Most of all he has a CAPO setup on the 7th fret!

 

Can't argue with a man who has sold so much records in his lifetime and played/jammed with the rest of them, eh?

Indeed, Open Tunings are not unique to slide guitar players. In the UK there is now a fairly long standing folk tradition of finger picking styles using a variety of open tunings. Probably the most famous UK afficionados have been Bert Jansch (my 60's hero) and Martyn Carthy (who taught Bob Dylan a variety of British folk styles in 62/63). The main reason for doing so is because of the very different tonal/chord combinations you can get, without resorting to the standard Western tunings. This opens up a variety of melodic scales more common to Eastern/Oriental musical traditions, by-passing the standard musical/chord conventions. Mark Knopfler ofetn does the same, combining plucked Open Chord sequences with more conventional tracks e.g. Romeo and Juliet, Love Over Gold, Precious Angel. Without Open Tuning, it would be very difficult to achieve the same note sequences.

yup.. saw a zoom 606 sa raon for 5K, rp80 for 5.8K

but china made to.. try ko yung zoom606, okey naman

sya... di ko nabili.. okey pa naman Peavey Amp ko paired with my Ibañez!

Peavey+Ibañez = Joe Satriani! hehehehe

[16track]

Yep. Open tunings provide an unexplored tonal horizon as it frees the player from conventional chord shapes. Even the Dropped D tuning employed by many players today is not new as it was utilized in early records.

 

As it is, as long as it sounds good--any tuning can be accepted. That is one of the wonderful traits of the guitar.
