Guitar/Bass/Drums thread version 2.0

J, your board looks fucking awesome. How much did that run you? if you don't mind me asking.

thanks!

the board its self, or all the pedals on it? those boards are $100, brand new. total steal when you factor in the 15 or so patch cables and 13 prong 1-spot type thing that comes with it. it's powered, has stereo out, and an input for yr guitar/bass. i love it.

that's awesome. well, once i get a job again, and few more pedals. I'm going to look into something like that.

I got a Peavey International Series drumset. I've had it for 5 years and Peavey doesn't make drums anymore. So I like to think it's the shit. Haha.

22x18 bass drum
12x10 rack tom
16x16 floor tom
14x6.5 snare drum

Sounds decent, if you've ever seen Months To Go, Psych, or Never Lose Heart you may have heard it. I never played in Never Lose Heart, Matt just uses my kit alot. haha

It has a steel snare which is my favorite piece on it. It's super loud, sensitive, and sounds awesome. The rest of the shells are wood, no idea what kind though.

I got mainly Zildjian ZHT's on it now. I want to eventually upgrade everything to Paiste 2002's though.

14" rock hats
Paiste 18" medium crash
20" medium ride
18" rock crash

They don't sound horrible and they get the job done. I also got all Dixon hardware that I love. It's a smaller brand name but it's super sturdy and I've never had a problem with it. I've played like 50 shows and hundred of practices and it's all held up.

I use a few different heads. I got an Aquarian Super Kick 2 on my bass, with a Remo Ebony with a 5.5" port hole. I got Evans G2 coated on my toms, with Remo Pinstripe clears on the bottom. On my snare I got Evans HD Genera Dry on top [which I love love love] and Evans Hazy 300 on the bottom.

I also use Aquarian Cymbal Springs on all my stands. I take off the bottom rubber washer though and replace it with a normal cymbal felt. It gives it a more natural feel.

I'll put a picture up soon.

I had a Z custom 18 inch crash once. Of all the cymbals I've broken, it broke the fastest. I know I don't play right though. I don't give a fuck either! Break Stuff! It's more punk to play with broken cymbals anyway. Especially if they are Sabian B8's.

But yeah, like Adam said, the Z customs don't sound very good. I'm not even someone that cares about equipment, or tuning my drums, or anything to make stuff sound good, and I think they sound bad.

I'm really bored so I'll list what I use too.

I have two drumsets now thanks to Eric for giving me an awesome deal!

Tama Superstar 4 piece kit

14 inch snare - I think i have an evans head on this
12 inch tom - remo coated pinstripe head
16 inch floor tom - remo coated pinstripe head
22 inch bass drum - aquarian superkick 2

Tama Swingstar 5 piece
14 inch snare
12 and 13 inch tom
16 inch floor tom
22 inch bass drum

I believe the tom heads on this kit are clear evans g2. the snare is something different and I'm not sure about the bass drum.

Cymbals

14 inch Zildjian A custom Projection hi-hats
17 inch Zildjian A Medium Crash I think (I should pay closer attention to what I own)
20 inch Zildjian A custom Projection Ride
20 inch Zildjian Z custom Ride (I don't play this one though)

speaking of not paying better attention to what you own. i guess that 19" projection i have actually is a z custom.i kinda like it though. it's timbre isn't so great, but it is loud and it does penetrate really well.

sorry man. I just wish we could put this in the past and be friends.

It's been a while since I've posted in this thread and I'm going to light the fire that was going earlier.




(this was the only picture I could find...I don't own two of em.)

Neither one of these guitars were expensive. I bought one used for 250, the other new for 500. I play fast, or at least I used to more than I do now, and there is no better neck for a fast guitar player than an Ibanez. The necks feel just right, they're one of the lighest guitars you can get. I want to use them more but I just don't feel right not using my Les Paul for Horseburner.

Also, I'm still selling my Marshall JCM 2000 head. All the electronics have been re worked like an original Marshall head would've been. New tubes as I didn't really get to run it much. Good cosmetic shape, the carrying handle is ripped up a little, and the end of the footswitch is a little messy.

Got my old Peavey bass back from Jeremy a couple days ago. I forgot how light it is, and how much I like how it plays. I used to hate that thing for some reason. Anyways, I'm putting new strings on both my basses this weekend, because I'm using that Peavey bass in Nerve Damage now. What strings do you guys prefer? I'm using Ernie Ball Slinky Round Wound bass strings (50-70-85-105). I don't know that much about strings, wish I knew more.

TRYING TO BUMP THIS THING! POST YOUR SHIT!

I been using the same Rotosound Nexus strings for about a year, and they've yet to sound dead or rust. The trade-off is that they're almost twice as expensive as Ernie Balls and I don't think CA House carries them, so I have to get them online. I think it's worth it, though. They're the best sounding strings I've ever used.

I'm all about D'addario pro steels. They don't have a terribly long life, but they are the brightest strings out there and they're pretty inexpensive which makes that short life more justifiable.
