Those skateboard guitars are incredible!

Here is my set up:



I just sent that amp off to get serviced and my back up vox pathfinder shit the bed the next day  .

Thought about getting a fender champ to replace it since the lafayette is kind of a one trick pony but dame the silverface amps got a lot more expensive!

Nice stuff!  That strat has some character.  What is it?

First time I’ve looked at silverface amps in a few years, and good god you are not wrong.  I sold a deluxe reverb a few years back for 1k Canadian as I was short on cash, preferred my other amps, and gave a friend a good deal.  It hurts to see what they go for now, but I bought that amp and a 1959 guild ce-100d for $1200 combined a few years prior.  I still have and love the guild, so there is that.  The franz p90 pickups are spectacular.

Thanks. That strat is a funny story. In 2006 some dude sold it to my local guitar center as a custom shop relic'd strat. About a month later they realized it was more of a frankenstrat and lowered the price to 500, which was when I grabbed it. The neckplate has a custom shop serial number but who knows where that's from. The pickups appear to be genuine fancy-pants fender pups but again, who knows lol. The thing that drew me to the guitar was the neck, which is perfectly worn and suuuper comfy and smooth. I think it's a warmoth neck but who knows. Ive had it 15 years now and its the only strat I need

This is so sick I had to bump it to this page as well.

[Oaf]

That sounds like a dream, and a good buy.  I’m always a fan of value and a story.  Plus having a guitar that long makes it feel like family.

Both of those skateboard guitars are beautiful. At first glance, I thought they were Prisma guitars. If I ever can afford to blow big bucks on a guitar, it will probably be one of those.

[beandemon]

I got nuthin’. Just giving this thread a poke.

[animalflesh]

I’ll bump again

These pickups that have skateboardply covers

[IUTSM]

man, zoom grad school lectures have been great for getting back into playing. sitting and playing for 3 hours at a go, or rather, various segments within a 3 hour window a few days per week, has been excellent

[Andmoreagain]

Talking about that strat got me curious about its actual provenance. As far as I can tell it's either 1990 American '62 reissue or a 1995 MIJ '62 reissue. I'm happy with either. This is per the serial on the neckplate though, so who knows. The pickups appear to be genuine fender custom shop, but weirdly the pots are all 500k.

I also tore into my '77 ibanez 335 copy. Turns out the bridge pickup is a gibson pickup of some kind, and not the super 70 that came in ibanez of those years. The neck is the original super 70 and sounds a lot better IMO. Might try to find one for the bridge.

I need a Hendrix fuzz face. UI been playing since 91 I never wrote a solo till Covid era. I’m a bass player. I hear only bass and drums when I’m writing in my head. Now that I’m soloing and I got the muscle memory and shit I want to sound like Hendrix meeting discharge playing 90s nyhc 80s dbeat with with lots of rock and roll elements.

I hear that bias control in my head now.


My band is very much like biohazard and sheer terror with Johnny Thunders on lead guitar.

I wanna drip with 60s tone tho.



If I have any money left after I pay this security deposit I’m going to do this.

that's my bandmate and friend's favorite pedal. he's a total hendrix fanatic haha. also has a white upside hendrix strat for righties.

[HeavyAndExpensive]

I have an Ibanez RG6 baritone. It made me realize baritones are my dream guitars. If I could get a superstrat in baritone I think that would be perfect.

[TranquilElephant]

Just got this guy today, I’m stoked

[DaleSr]

You guys got any tips for taking it up to the next level? I've always been a very rudimentary player, mostly strumming, not much scale work at all but I'm trying to get sharper and get a band of the ground

To me for theory and chord/scale/arpeggio stuff, books and exercises over and over are the only way...
Youtube videos and online lessons bring too much scatter to the process. Nice to change your ideas some times though

Maybe a mix of theory reading, YT lessons involving scales and triads, and learning real songs that apply the techniques you're trying to learn.

What kind of style are you aiming for?

[DaleSr]

Nothing really intense. My friend and i are making vaguely "indie rock" stuff, i just want to get my skills up

[thanksgiving]

im in a similar situation. i really think learning songs is the best way to go, try different genres. just to get more comfortable in other time sigs, chords, etc.

[Brguy]

My E string saddle broke as I was going to change strings, I was checking the block behind the strat and it just fell off, now when I put it back on the spring just spits it out of the screw (I find it's actually kinda funny). At least I didn't open the new strings package before it happened, gotta wait until next week to get the new ones.

Youtube is only good if you want some concepts to get into your head of to look at specific exercises, otherwise it's theory books and time to memorize/apply those things you learned. I'm currently not practicing this pdf I got here which has a pretty good foundation, it starts on basic concepts, moves on to a shit ton of chords, inversions, 7ths and all that jazz and then it goes to scales and arpeggios, no YT lesson will give you that much structure, hell, sometimes not even a teacher will.

I need to get tubes for my carvin 100xb soon.

I’m kinda bummed because I wanted to get a fuzz with my next check.

Can anyone help guide me to the proper tubes and shit.

I can’t afford my homies amp/guitar tech and got to figure out this myself.

[Banned from the room]

Correction

I need to figure this out with Pals

What is it?
I played in punk/crust bands for years and just picked up guitar again. Want to get deeper into learning this time

[Andmoreagain]

flea, just pull the tubes and buy the same ones

[Uh Oh]

^^ This, but that being said…



Looks like four 6L6 tubes and 3 12AX7 preamp tubes

[live, laugh, love]

3 days ago I randomly started playing after a long while. My place is in disarray from doing repairs and painting. So a lot of my shit is packed up in the basement.

So last night I decided to check one of my acoustic's serial number to see when it was made cause I couldn't remember when I bought it. The guitar was made on March 24, 2014. Same day I started playing again only 8 years before. Total Bobby Puleo shit. I gotta message him and see what he makes of these numbers.
