help!!

jcoote

ok lads

i'm lookin for a new piece of kit and i am willing to spend about €600ish

so here's what i want

its an xmas pressie off the moth and she won't have the money til december right so no big long shipping times

if a guitar i'd like:

decent electronics

possibly 7 string (not a big deal)

or any other things like effects amps etc that would be cool around that price that i might like!!!

i have a few things in mind but just wanted to know what ya'll think??

cheers!!!!

RG1527



You can get it from www.guitarbargains.com for €730 including shipping. Excellent guitar, and well worth it.

jcoote

how long do they take to deliver karl..not sure if the funds will strech that far tbh but its very interesting

Karl Hungus

They deliver via UPS, and it got here lightening fast. I remember I ordered it on a thursday night, and it got here on the monday morning.

You could go for the RG7321:



It should be about half the price of the RG1527, but if you prefer a trem to a fixed bridge, I'd see if I could stretch the money that extra bit as the trem on the 1527 is awesome.

jcoote

well see i have an rg370 dx already do i was thinking maybe an sz 520

Karl Hungus

Don't like the S ones myself, nothing beats a good old RG. I believe Feylya has an SZ520 though, so you might get his opinion on it. My money would still be on the RG1527. Awesome guitar.

jcoote

yeah it looks really good and i'll get it if the money allows it...yeah feylya has one i knew that...i'm sure he'll let us know when he's around again..i might get a talk box

Karl Hungus

Good stuff, it's always good to see more people join the old 7 string club. You should go check out an 1527 in Musician Inc, that's what I did, thought it was magnificent and said to myself "I'm buying this!" A few days later, I bought it.

jcoote

i might just go and check it out kh cheers man...if the sz was 7 string i'd get that fo sure...i'm also thinkin about a rack wah system or maybe a screaming demon wah and distortion pedal and maybe something to power them all like a brick or something...i have a ge-7 and 2 wahs and the battery thing is a pian n the hole tbh

You get the idea I'm sure

Ancient1

Well, well, well - look at this. Jcoote, the biggest GAS instigator in these parts, asking for help on what to buy!

That's what you get for giving us bouts of GAS every day - now suffer!

You're gonna have to let me play that 370 one day, btw!

feylya

I always thought I was the worst instigator. Jesus, Jcoote has bought the g-major and the lite ash. I wonder who suggested that to him... And the LTD EC-400at... And the Randall...

Ancient1

That's an admission of guilt! Be careful, in case some of our wives are reading this!

Doctor J

...and the Roc Pro

Ancient1

Well, in that case, my diagnosis is that jcoote is beyond help so we shouldn't encourage him.

Jcoote, go with the 1200 guitar picks.

feylya

You can never have too many picks

Cool. I'm glad Yngwie wasn't throwing them out at the gig, there would've been carnage

Johnny Storm

Have you gone off the Spirit GU, then? How about one of http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=home/search/detail/base_pid/519145/ ?

any time man we seriously should all meet up in a rehersal studio 1 day and just try everything out...it'd be like NAMM

Fey don't worry i remember all your suggestions and appriciate your help so stop bein a bitch

doc the roc pro was probably the best bit of buyin advice i got nice one man

the steinberger is too dear johnny but i really do want one..but see i'm afraid to order from the states in case it doesn't arrive in time ya know

seriously thinkin abou that stripper schecter though...fnarr

feylya

Yes, giant jam session.

And you know as well as I do j that you will buy all that stuff on my list eventually

You have a list?

feylya

Look at my first post on the first page of this thread, foo'!

jcoote

i will because u like good gear and if i had my way i'd buy everyones list...or maybe even everything everything everything


i get a new list every day tbh

Karl Hungus

Oh, that list. I thought you meant you had a list of things you're dreaming of buying, and that jcoote was working his way through it out of spite, like with the G-major, and Lite Ash Strat.

jcoote

pick 2 better bargains on the market..i was just well advised to buy good gear...the g major is only 390 now or somethin btw

No no no. Although, an ESP M-II is now on the list. I just played one in Instrumental through a Spider II half stack. My balls haven't stopped jangling yet

Karl Hungus

Right Jcoote. this is your next purchase.

feylya

He's welcome to it. I don't like the maple finger board and SD's in an M series? Oh no no no!

Doctor J

Hmmm, that maple and black isn't working as well together as it does on the Lite Ash Strat...

jcoote

your right it doesn't doc but i still want one

feylya

TBH, get a custom ESP M-II replica from Shamray for about the same price as they charge in Dublin.

Doctor J

Why not just get a real one for less from abroad?

feylya

Cos I ****ing hate the control layout on the real one.

Doctor J

Ahhh you're too picky Fey, that's why you'll never be happy

feylya

Never settle for second best. Otherwise I'll just turn into an old long haired git whinging about no good metal bands

Seriously though, the control layout is impossible to use.

Doctor J

Ahh it looks useable enough, you just need to get with the times

Let go of the hate, Fey, learn to love

feylya

Seriously, is it not usable. You have to move your hand around the trem to get at the selector switch. That is not a good thing.

jcoote

anyway i've decided to get a tonecore vibezilla as my 1st item...what a pedal fell in love wit it a while ago so i'm gonna go for that to begin wit
