Dude, computers are for geeks

Chicks dig guitars, brainiac!!! :cool:

the fnj

PRS Santana SE

Marshall AVT 50 watt amp

Ibanez tubescreamer TS-9 (I love this so much)
Boss DS-1 (to be replaced with a marshall shred master as soon as I win one on eBay)
Danelectric dan-o-wah (probably going to be retired to the drawer of old effects as I don't use it very much)
RFX phaseovibe (weird effect I picked up in America acts as a phaser and as a vibrato)
Boss TU-2 Chromatic tuner

I also sometimes use a Line 6 pod thourgh my effects loop when I want to make significant changes to my sound.

I use planet wave cables and D'Addario 10's.

Next buys Digitech Whammy Pedal, Marshall Shredmaster, then either a Flanger or a Phaser not sure which yet.

I also have a Squire strat which I have alot of love for, even though it's a cheap guitar.

Who said anything about computers? I don't use computers to make music.

Chicks dig guitars, brainiac!!!

Chicks know that guitar players have the biggest egos in a band. Girls look for a more fulfilling, sophisticated experience. Thats why there's always a queue for the keyboard player

Typically narrow minded guitar player...! Anyway, I betcha my 'computer workstation' can pull a better guitar sound than you can from your gear... lol

Anyway, I admit the keyboards do have sequencers and all that crap built in, but I am proud to say I have never hit the record button once!

Happily narrow minded thanks

I'll bet your computers guitar sound is truly, truly awful, a sound not even A Flock Of Seagulls would use, but the Casio corporation have tricked you into believing otherwise. Ahhhhhh....:cool:

robbie1876

Computers cannot reproduce the sound of a perfect guitar, amp and guitarist combination, end of discussion. The emotion put in by the player makes the music instantly better.

Doctor J

At last, my Ric bass is all ship shape, etc.

I pick it up tomorrow... can't wait

Doctor J

You weren't asked if it matters, You were asked what your gear was.

Karl Hungus

Sorry 'Newband' this is a typical "My dick's bigger than yours" type thread.

We're all egotistical showoffs here.
