Hi there everyone,

I´ve looked a couple of pages down and didn´t see a thread like this. Basicly any other forum has a show your "insert what forum´s about here" thread, so why shouldn´t we? Unless it´s against the rules and i don´t know

Pictures are prefered of course, if you don´t have any it takes about 5 minutes to take some and upload, so don´t be lazy now ye hear?

I´l start

Here is my current rig, pretty simple system but im quite happy with it

ESP Horizon FR II See Thru Black Aqua






Engl Powerball + Framus 4x12 (v30) + Mxr Carbon Copy, Mxr Zakk Wylde Overdrive + EVH Wah




Close Up Shot of the Pedals

Bring out your guns!

Great thread

Marcus, didn't know you were a collector man! Awesome!

Posted by: Skalde Apr 21 2009, 12:28 PM

I guess he is not playing jazz
Do you have any soundclips?

Posted by: DaniHel Apr 21 2009, 12:57 PM

Wow. you got loads of guitars Marcus Is that black and white stratocaster with maple fretboard an ESP? Kinda looks like it says ESP on the headstock! If it is, how does it play?

Surprisingly enough the powerball can achieve various tones, and the mxr helps with the many tones i can get.

I don´t think i have any clean recordings of the amp, but all the guitar sounds on my myspace were done with the engl powerball and the ESP

http://www.myspace.com/danielrodrigues

I can get that dirty andy timons-like tone if i put my clean channel on and the zakk wylde pedal with gain at about half.
Here´s a small clip ("please totally ignore the drums, they are not going to be that way, at least the "faster part") it´s the clip called "slow"

On the myspace you have the heavy distorted stuff, but no solos i think
i have this video on myspace you can hear the tone well but i´m using my brother´s k-7 and not the ESP

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVDois549aY Watch in HD, it´s much cooler




Also i have these 2 clips from 2 different collabs. One of the tones is more fusion-like and the other is a bit more modern metal
The fusion like is the "Swingish Rock"
The more modern sounding is the "Drop D Solo" that i made for Joe Kataldo´s collab!

I really love the powerball, and since i´m a believer of the "If it ain´t broken dont fix it" religion i´ll be keeping this amp for a loong time

Cheers and hope you like the tones (and the songs also haha )

I always have myspace remember me how crappy theyre sound is, so i´ll upload a really good quality version of the first song so you can hear the guitars really well and also the song in general. It´s "Violin Madness" clip

Here is mine!

'08 Olympic White Fender American Standard Strat

'07 Ibanez RG4EXQM1 with Kerry King EMG 81/85 pickups

'03 Fender Mexican Standard Strat

No amp at this time...playing through my Toneport GX

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Apr 21 2009, 02:21 PM

Yes, it's an ESP Vintage Plus "distressed". I put two Duncan Hotrails on it - so it's really loud! I love the XJ frets, and it plays really good However.. compared to a real Fender Strat in that price range I can't say it's all that good

Posted by: purple hayes Apr 21 2009, 02:25 PM

I have that same guitar. I also don't own an amp. It's just easier to lug a POD around and plug into the PA.

Posted by: DaniHel Apr 21 2009, 02:27 PM

I´ve had a "crush" on ESP Strato guitars since i saw Takayoshi Ohmura playing his signature models, and since i really i don´t like fender that much but love ESP i thought i´d eventually try one! That Jackson V kinda reminds me of Kai Hansen´s ESP, the guy from Gamma Ray

"COPIED FROM ANOTHER THREAD"



My very first guitar was a Epiphone Les Paul Standard, which I upgraded with some very good Seymour Duncan SH6 and SH2 Pickups.



My second guitar was this one. The recognizable JEM.


My 2 acoustic purchases (I actually have 3, but I have no photo of my Martin.)
I bought the Ibanez first, a AW40-something.



and later on I was hungry for a 12-string. This one is a Fender CD160.



I then found a odd looking strat in my local shop, and I just had to have it. Love it or hate it. But I adore it!



Then my hunt for Gibsons began
First out was the Reissue VOS model. It's a Custom shop LP Standard R8 in Bourbon burst.



I then found a faded Les Paul in tobacco burst, with a 60's neck.



My latest addition is this Classic Antique Model in Vintage Sunburst finish.



All this plays through a Hughes & Kettner Switchblade amp with a 2*12's Cab.

I need to get the footboard for my Flextone.

That is so sexy. It screams Clapton, in fact, is this not his signature model? It looks like one of them.

Anyways, that is the only Strat. that I have seen that I actually liked. Except for Tom Morello's "Soul Power". That is one beauty.

Posted by: Scott Gentzen Apr 23 2009, 08:39 PM

I posted one a while back, but I'll take an excuse to post again. It's good to be back.

They're not often all together like this.

Right to left are the purple '84 purple Ibanez Roadstar, 90's ESP Custom Shop Semi Hollow Eclipse, and an '81 Peavey T-60 in black. The amp's a straight-up stock Epiphone Valve Jr head. Cabinet's an Avatar 2x12 with a G12H30 70th Anniversary and a Vintage 30. There's a Boss TU-2 off-camera somewhere but nobody cares about those. The pedal that's visible there is a Chuck Collins copy of the Interfax Harmonic Percolator from back before he was putting the labeling stencils on them.

There shouldn't be any MIDI keyboards out there that ProTools can't handle.

iamblackmo, is that an ibanez s407?:X Same inlay, same pickup style etc.

Posted by: Marcus Lavendell Apr 24 2009, 08:02 AM

You mean the old ESP 400 Series?
I was offered to buy one few years ago, but I didn't... and I will regret that for the rest of my life! Because they're really hard to find (at least in Sweden) and it was one of the best Strats I've played.

Posted by: iamblackmo Apr 24 2009, 11:39 AM

Yes, it is either a S470 (if that is what you meant) DX or QX. I cannot remember of the top of my head.

Posted by: Jesse Apr 24 2009, 01:32 PM

Wicked,

Posted by: DaniHel Apr 24 2009, 01:42 PM

Exactly, i never played on of those but i really like the looks of it and how it sounds. Anything that has ESP on it makes me know it´s a very good guitar. And those being late 80´s, start of 90´s must have some good aging on them, i´l be sure to try to get one someday, somehow!

Posted by: Red Tie Apr 25 2009, 02:32 PM

I've got poor photo skills. Anyway, it is my 120w Koch Tube Head with my ESP Custom Horizon.
Just to inform everyone; This amp may very well be the best amp on earth and this guitar is unbelieveable.
