Amp/cab:

oh man, you gotta let us know how the new rig sounds!

i have the feeling it will definately knock your socks off!

ps: re: the weber's: is the total load on that cab 4 ohms? In other words, did you install 2 x 8 ohm wired parallel? The optimum load on the Bassman 50 is 4 ohms, although they still perform well through an 8 ohm speaker setup.

Ivan, that JM, is it US or Japan - there's one identical with the gold hardware on ebay UK, an MIJ - I always thought the gold hardware was US but appearantly not all. the ebay add claims only 1000 were made?

just curious, I bid for the heck of it, but I 'm not intersted in it for what it will be going for. but it is a beauty.

Back to my JM. I think it's a better guitar than the regular MIJ/CIJ JMs. Actually, it's almost as good as the AV JM I played last week. You can see that the hardware is of a slighly better quality on the AV models, but the two guitars played equally nice and sounded equally nice. I like my JM a lot.
Do you mean this one? eBay JM Yep, that's the same Jazzmaster as mine. And I think that's right about there being only a 1000 made. Like I said, it's a Limited Edition model. I also think it's a beaut, though DP's gorgeous new Jazzmaster has given it a run for its money!

Ivan

thanks. I 'm in the market for a new guitar, but this one's going over the budget I had in mind, most likely. we'll see. upon looking again I see it has a case and SD pups, which should add considerably to what it's worth. might be not so bad after all. the thing is I 'm usually not to fond of gold hardware, or so i thought. but i like it on this one and also on my jazzguitar..hmm. plus it matches my wedding ring, which i think is GREAT argument to justify overspending the budget to my wife

5 hours to decide. oh well.

I don't have the all-inclusive pic (yet) but here's what I play:

93 MIJ Jag - Olympic White, Seymour Duncan Vintage for Jag pickups, 56-15
Vox Phantom IV - Black, new MOP pickguard with 3 Armstrong lipsticks
2005 Jagmaster - Sunburst, 24" scale, I replaced the volume&tone pots with push/pulls to tap either or both humbuckers - it makes it pretty reasonable for surf (also56-15)
1973 Rickebacker 330-12 - Fireglo (My baby!)
1964 Silvertone - Black, dolphin head, one lipstick - fantastic neck!
1987 Aria Pro II - Black

Ibanez Tube Screamer (original model)
Tube Works Blue Tube stereo tube preamp
Alesis Quadraverb (controlled by a MidiBuddy pedalboard)
Alesis 3630 Compressor
Fostex stereo spring reverb
Peavey Duece 2x12 Tube combo, stage left (Sacrilege, I know, but it's sturdy, inexpensive, clean and loud)
Peavey Classic Chorus 2x12, stage right (see previous)

I mostly play the Jaguar but also pull out just about everything except the Aria for surf. My amp setup is always stereo with one combo on each side of the stage. It really helps, especially for a trio. Once you go stereo, you'll never go back!

Kyle, I can't wait to see it in person. The days are counting down until the 'Verb and Verbtones gig.

I've said before that I'm not a huge fan of sunburst on guitars.
But your vintage 62 is in just amzingly beutiful shape Kyle.
Congrats. where/how did you come across that?

Jeff(bigtikidude)

and my gretsch which was absent when i took the rig shot:

H-jack, is that one of those new electromatic gretsches? how do they sound? do the have that growling snappy sound of the 'unaffordable' gretsches.

If I 'm not istaken those are the DeArmond 2K pups - I had them ona DeArmond solidbody, but I didn't really like the sound of that one.
