I ordered some picks and strings today. It's gonna be pretty sweet when those come it.

Lemme know when you're in L.A. so I can plan to be out of town.

I'm not looking for versatility...and I hate high-output pups myself, but in this guitar, they are perfect. Same goes with ceramic magnets-I am looking for a butt-rock sound here :lol: I read up on the GFS EVH, and it seems more like a full-range hum...they mainly mention the bass and high response ...

...so I need pickup advice. I got my little stagemaster here I am looking to do lynch with. I originally stuck a Duncan Distortion in it...I loved the output. The guitar felt ALIVE, and any goddamned annoying thing you'd hit like annoying whammy harmonics just jumped out..but the tone (with this gui...

Gonna be throwing together a cheap pedal board - something I don't mind bringing out and stomping on. Any alternative suggestions are appreciated - been trying to keep the pedals around $70 and under.

What color is that geetar? What fretboard? I ain't got no cash right now...but I've been having so much fun with my floyd equipped Stagemaster I wouldn't mind getting something less gaudy with a floyd... What color is your Stagey? And what's the pickup configuration? The stagemaster is tiger colore...

$300 and my phone #.

You weren't stupid~it was just the way of youth.

I spent the first 20 years of my life trying to get rid of midrange, and the next 20 trying to get MORE.

Do you actually know any good SS specialists around L.A.? I got a broken JBL Eon, too...

What is it doing or not doing, Sleek? Does it not work at all, or make noise, or...? I'd think it'd be worth checking into fixing it, at least. That is a true classic sounding amp! It's making crackly noises, humming a bit, sounding funny (not like it's usual self), and has low volume output. My tu...

I had a Randall half stack in '87. Can't remember what model the head was. What are those older Randalls selling for nowadays? http://instruments.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=randall&_sacat=38072&_dmpt=Guitar_Accessories&_odkw=&_osacat=38072&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313 . . This is ...

The hot tip with the Randalls was they had this little gadget you could get that plugged into the back that gave it a boost so when you pulled out the knob there would be no volume loss! I wish I still had one of those! Cool rig! I never heard of that gadget, that would be great to have for theose ...

Bummer about the Randall, maybe you should do like George did and put it up there for show! :lol: I really did like mine when I had them, the pull switch on the treble was the bomb on those amps! I first picked up on the RGs when I was with Poison...Randall brought a bunch of stuff to the garage fo...

This is even more painfully obvious, but you aren't gonna replace a Duncan Distortion with anything better for LESS than $50+ used. Have you thought of tweaking your EQ for this guitar and gig? And don't you have an RG100ES? If you do I presume you're using it for this show even though Lynch didn't...

I have, but they cost too much...like $50+ used.

I've never heard you refer to a significant other as "she" either, so it's par for the course. "It" suffices for both. I'm looking at a new hum for my Dokken geetar...the Duncan Distortion I have in there is sweet, but kinda flubs out the low end distortion-wise. (It's over 16k ...

I would, but the stuff I do is *very* non-pro... :mrgreen: :) I used to do finishes at our shop's that were beautiful. Hand sanded and polished from bare wood to 2000 grit. Great vintage colors. People would come in, look at my fizz-bombed looking personal guitars, and wonder to themselves " T...

You know me, paint, carve, engrave~whatever the fuck to get the look I want.

What the fuck????

So here's what I did today...this is my stagemaster, all dressed up and ready for Dokken day... http://sleek.phreque.com/lynch.jpg It looks better in person...the flash made the yellow look less deep than it is...it's distinctly orangy towards the center. ...since I didn't wait at al before the clea...

It's all good! I remember my late buddy Clyde, he had a buttload of Les Paul Customs. A couple of Standards but he loved the Customs. We'd compare Ebay scores and he'd have an early 80s LPC, and I'd have a frikking Squier Stagemaster like you just got! He'd laugh at me, but hell, I liked 24 frets a...

:lol: Ah, the sweet smell of GAS! :lol: Yeah, I've been blowing it lately. I now have 2 full pedal boards...one for using with a clean amp and getting Queen and Dokken sounds, another for use with a dirty/channel switcher doing basic rock. Seriously, I may have lost an important part of my brain......

I figure I'll probably sell the pedals via ebay and maybe list the amps on CL so I don't have to ship. Most of my pedals are fairly ordinary "working man's" pedals. Boss, electro harmonix, MXR, that sort of thing. I'll put up a list here soonish. I really like the last couple OD pedals I g...

Whatcha sellin', compadre? I dunno...off the top of my head, prolly a bunch of pedals, my '60's Olympic, maybe this OLP doubleneck I got, my 5150 Mk1 head, maybe my JCM 800...perhaps the Egnater in the pic, my '70's SVT head...other stuff... Odds and ends, really. I just have too much chud filthing...

So, here are my recent acquisitions: http://sleek.phreque.com/stagemaster.jpg This is the stagemaster I got for $125. I set it up, shimmed the neck so I could raise the floyd, chucked in a duncan distortion, and It's a damned good guitar! The finish is ghey, but I am going to do a Lynch tiger-stripe...

I have the six-string sunburst version of that.

The BBE is a Rangemaster clone??!?!!? Well, I don't know if "clone" is right. It is "based on" the early rangemasters...which probably means they copied the circuit, but substituted modern components, which I am fine with. It's quite nice. Very dirty, very nasty, with an obscene...

I already have the BBE Freq Boost Rangemaster clone. Sold my Vox a while ago, but it doesn't matter, I'm not trying to nail the Queen sound, I just want to check out the treble booster+series pickups thing...already with the booster some of the impossible harmonic content is there... You know, tonal...
