i still have the grx. but the rg 3 sumtin or other is on the way. its black with sharktooth inlays and all black hardware. like yours except black

david · 13-12-2004 9:33pm

at the moment i'm either getting a h&k warp 7 combo, fm212r, line6 spider2 or keepin the old mg100dfx

feylya · 13-12-2004 9:36pm

Keep the MG and save up for a new guitar.

david · 13-12-2004 9:37pm

im already gettin a midrange ibanez. i have that just about paid off

david · 13-12-2004 9:38pm

i'll post a poll in a new thread i think

feylya · 13-12-2004 9:39pm

I wouldn't consider the RG 300 series midrange tbh. The 570 is mid range in my eyes...

It wasn't me! · 13-12-2004 9:39pm

Forgetful are we? Mine is Black!

This one?

david · 13-12-2004 9:42pm

i thought it was green/grey weird fecked up colour?! ah well yours is 270dx? i think mine is the new version of that with better hardware. rg370

feylya · 13-12-2004 9:42pm

Hmm, maybe it's not too bad so. Decent trem.

feylya · 13-12-2004 9:45pm

Not a huge fan of the Wizard II necks tbh.

And it needs DiMarzio's or Emgs

david · 13-12-2004 9:45pm

the original plan i had was to get a cheapish ibanez and stick some decent p-ups in it, then i decided to upgrade the amp instead. i think i may stick to the original plan and do up the guitar

david · 13-12-2004 9:46pm

chances are, when i play live i'll be playin someone elses amp so the mg will be suffice for rehearsal.

feylya · 13-12-2004 9:46pm

SSSSHHHH. Don't let Doctor J hear you say that.

Guitars are cheap for a reason...

david · 13-12-2004 9:47pm

the neck was a bit slim but i liked it. so..... Pickup suggestions anyone?

feylya · 13-12-2004 9:49pm

DiMarzio's or EMG's

Air Norton, Tone Zone and a Tone Zone Single.

david · 13-12-2004 9:51pm

yes but any models? i dont really need actives so thats the 81's out of it. something good and distorted for the bridge. i quite like the ibanez powersound neck p-ups

edit: sorry i didn't see the models on the bottom of that post

It wasn't me! · 13-12-2004 9:51pm

For now, yeah, the 270DX By this time next year though I intend to have some kind of LTD or somesuch. Pickups the DiMarzio's would suit your style better than the EMG's. Or possibly some Duncan's.

feylya · 13-12-2004 9:53pm

LTD M-100 is lovely imo. Especially with EMG's.

david · 13-12-2004 9:54pm

hmm... yer man in musicmaker seemed to think that you get far more ibanez for the money than you do ESP.maybe thats because they dont stock ESP's though! tryin to flog off cheap ibanez crapocasters i'd imagine

feylya · 13-12-2004 9:55pm

ESP's are quality machines tbh. I really want a M-II neckthrough custom. About €5000 though <_<

david · 13-12-2004 9:59pm

yeah. im temped by a second hand neckthrough LTD explorer with emgs in carlow. feckin 850 euro immaculate condition

david · 13-12-2004 10:02pm

i got a pretty good deal on my ibanez though.... 470 with a free case. 400 on thomann+shipping with no case

feylya · 13-12-2004 10:05pm

Meh, don't like the new style ESP EXP's

It wasn't me! · 13-12-2004 10:05pm

I'm not a fan of Agathis. It pretty much sucks out half of the available tone as far as I'm concerned, though the EMG's would go a long way to remedy that... Anyhoo, I was thinking more along these lines:

or possibly

http://www.netzmarkt.de/thomann/thoiw6_artikel-169743.html

Y'know, something like that.

feylya · 13-12-2004 10:08pm

I was thinking of getting an LTD H-302 but I think I'll get an Ibanez instead

david · 13-12-2004 10:10pm

i like the first one but im not too gone on the second one

david · 13-12-2004 10:14pm

http://www.ibanez.com/guitars/guitar.asp?model=RG1570
whats the difference between these two apart from the pickups and slightly different neck

david · 13-12-2004 10:16pm

and the price of course...

feylya · 13-12-2004 10:16pm

Better pickups
Prestige neck
Better trem
Just better worksmanship.

It wasn't me! · 13-12-2004 10:22pm

Those two necks are incomparable. Putting the wizard versus the Prestige is like pitting a crippled jack russel against a champion greyhound!

nadir · 13-12-2004 10:31pm

well I was on budget , and I just recently kit myself out

I got a ibanez edr 170 from thomann for 388 , I got some extras, a bag and stuffs and it came to 450 total
I also baught a cube 15 in dublin for 140

so about 600 , Im pretty happy with it anyhoo

feylya · 13-12-2004 10:33pm

Eh, the microcube is better

It has delay and chorus. The 15 doesn't...

nadir · 13-12-2004 10:43pm

cube 15 has an equaliser, and i'd prefer to use pedals for effects, rather than be pissing around at the amp. The only effects on the cube 15 are different distortion/metal settings, which is cool. Anyway im just learning so it does me for starting.

feylya · 13-12-2004 10:47pm

TBH the single tone control on the microcube is more than enough for me.

I think the gf is getting me one for christmas so I reckon that'll be my lazy practicing amp. Getting a ME-50 and FM212R for jamming and hopefully gigging.

New amp suggestions
