jff Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 A couple friends of mine were on the hunt for a sitar a couple years before the internet took off. Somehow, they managed to find a place to buy them, and bought five or six of them, which they were able to sell at a markup almost immediately after they arrived. So they made their money back and each got a sitar out of it. It's amazing the kind of hoops you had to jump through if you wanted any hard to find item before the internet came along.

In a little rowboat Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Heritage headstocks are shaped differently than Gibsons. That's definitely a Gibson in the photo. I'd LOVE to have an older 335. That might be my "if I win the lottery" guitar. This thread is the first time I've ever heard of a 555, but I don't know all that much about the Heritage brand. Somebody check me, but I'm pretty sure a 335 with a trapeze is a 330...one example I know of, Ed o'brien from radiohead plays one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The 330 is a full hollowbody and the 335 is a semi-hollow. Major difference. The trapeze seems to be more common on a full hollow like a 330, but I don't think you can conclude that trapeze on a guitar shaped like a 335 = 330. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bosco Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Hey I think we have the same kit! Is that a Phonic or force3000? Mines pretty beat up though. I'll post some pics soon '91 Force 3000, back when Sonors were still made in Germany. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosco Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 I posted some pictures of my old home studio setup a while back, here's the latest incarnation (gone is the analog 8-track, finally had to go digital): DUDE, holy crap, nice diggs man! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My friend who is a guitar snob really dislikes them... infact he thinks most high priced Fenders are all cheese. But I really want a jazzmaster. Input? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The jazzmaster is cool, but it frets out above the 10th fret or so. You can't really bend strings on it, so it's more of a rhythm guitar for me. I was surprised because Nels, J, Thurston and Lee, etc do so many mind blowing things on jazzmasters. It might benefit from having a mustang bridge on it. I mostly play the SG.

Scott Gyrrr Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Some pics of my kit and recording studio or what is left of it. Sadly the Studio is now closed and I'll be pulling the remaining gear out and selling off bits and pieces. Probably keep the drums and a few mics though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of JM players, including Nels, Sonic Youth, Tom Verlaine, etc. change out the bridges on their JMs with Mastery Bridges. http://www.masterybridge.com/artists.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scott Gyrrr Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Yeah Force 3000. I wish I had the matching snare for the kit though and I wouldn't mind a 16inch tom to go with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GtrPlyr Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 Time to resurrect this thread. Here's some guitars and amps I haven't posted yet (well other than the Fender Twin that is.) Epiphone Swingster ............................................. American Vintage '52 Telecaster Reissue Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster + Vox AC15C1 ...... '62 Precision Bass Reissue + Bassman TV Fifteen Pulled out all my effects pedals the other day to see if any of the old ones were worth resurrecting. My current setup is usually the Tube Screamer, Peppermint Fuzz, Deja Vibe, Pulsar, Phase 100 and the Boss Analog Delay. If I'm going for a more straightforward setup I usually just go with the Tube Screamer and an amp. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
