The Hard Way - The Gear Geeks Page

Dave's Gear:

Late 1970's Ibanez Blazer, basically OEM apart from removed tone control, and 2 refrets...
those are REAL wear marks on the fingerboard, by the way

This is #1, a 1991 Made in Japan 1952 Re-issue Telecaster. Fitted in 2003 with DiMarzio Twang King pickups

Relic, schmelic.... it got this beat up because I've PLAYED IT for 18 years....

Vox AC30, built 1987 according to the handwritten sticker inside the chassis. Bought new in 1991.
One for the amp corksniffers... It's a PCB circuit, S/S rectifier. ECC83 preamp valves replaced with 12AX7s around 1996, then again in 2005. EL84's usually last about 50-60 gigs. And in 18 years of hard road use, it has NEVER crapped out at a gig. It has only "failed to proceed" once, due to a faulty resistor in the power stage, fixed when it got it's first-ever service in 2006 from Dale Sherlock. And yes, Virginia, those G12-75's were factory fitted

Another corksniffer special.... I bought two of these at a hockshop for about $150. This one has a 10" Eminence fitted.

And hockshop special #2... Danelectro Longhorn bass (short scale) modified into a baritone guitar A-D-G-C-E-A. TWWAANNGG....

The Korean Hockshop Queen... Cort Strat(Squier)

Fish's Gear:
Something else for ampsnobs to turn up their noses at.... Behringer 300watt(into 4 ohms) bass amp. 4 years, NEVER been babied, NEVER given a bleep of trouble. Sounds bleedin' great. Purchased new for less than the price of a boooteeek 2x10"...

Another freakin BARGAIN buy. The Devil's bass.....

But all the best gear in the world ain't worth SPIT,
if you can't put on a show.....
