Every so often we have to do one of these. It is law.

Post up pictures of your noise-makers! Guitars, basses, amps, everything!



Left: My Gretsch 6129T Silver Jet. My dad gave me this guitar when I graduated high school. I will never sell it and it'll probably be buried alongside me. I love this guitar.

Middle: Ibanez AF75D. The deep-body Ibanez Artcore hollowbody. This is the guitar I dick around and write songs on. It was hand pinstriped by this 17-year-old kid named Chastin a few years back at the Re-animators Car Show in Atlanta.

Right: Epiphone Custom Shop 1957 Les Paul Jr. reissue. I wanted something similar to Mick Jones and Johnny Thunders. This is what I could afford. It sounded pretty great, but I sold it a couple months ago to a guy from Israel.


Here's 2 instruments that I wish I had back. I bought them for a fucking steal ($150 for both) and ended up selling them right after I moved to NYC and more than doubled my money. I just didn't have room for them, and I was buh-roke. I wish I had sold something else now in order to keep them.



Left: Danelectro U3.
Right: Danelectro DC Bass.


My shred guitar (not that I ever shred on it):



1987 Kramer Striker 300. It has a Floyd Rose vibrato on it. That means if you hit a pinch harmonic and yank on that whammy, it sounds like a goddamn Zero diving on a torpedo run. This guitar is currently in pieces because I'm refinishing the body.


My everyday bass:



Squier Vintage Modified 70's Precision Bass. Cheap, sounds good, looks good. I use it mainly to record with. I swapped out the black pickup cover to a white one. Looks like Paul Simonon's P-Bass now..


AAAAAND... The newest addition to the arsenal (got it on Sunday).. A mid-60's Farfisa Combo Compact organ.







It needs a lot of cosmetic work (new upper faceplate, new Tolex covering) but it sounds great and the spring reverb still works on it. I've seen these things go for a ridiculous amount of cash, but I found this one on Craigslist for mega cheap and couldn't pass it up. Sounds just like 96 Tears..


I've also got a no-name baritone ukulele and a Casio SK-1 Sampling Keyboard that I don't have photos of.

Gretsch 6129 green sparkle 2005.

Yeah great thread!
Beautiful instruments you two!! Love the sparkle finishes, and radioclash, the pinstriping on your Ibanez rocks!


This is my little collection:


Nobody can tell me that Gretsches aren't sexy!


I modified it with TV-Jones Pickups, rocks like hell now, here's a closeup with the TV's:


Ashton Sl-29 EQ:


I found it on an insolvency sale, and fell in Love with that flamed Top, and for 90 Euros I just couldn't leave it standing there.

Ashton classical guitar:

got it as a gift from the same insolvency sale,because I showed the owner how I play Mr. Sandman (when it came to me, the bridge was ripped off) It's still waiting for some Hotrod-flame paintjob.


Stagg P-Bass and Carl Hellweg Nylon string (my first guitar ever!)



Peavey JF-1

I have it hangin' over my bed, because I often get Ideas for new Songs in the middle of the night, and so I need a guitar near my pillow!
If you ever have the chance to play one, check them out, there not expensive but they got a great tone!

My Ukulele:



And last but not least, a Pic of my '59 Bassman:

Here's my latest. Twangmaster made by Sparrow. Loooove the neck on this.




BTW, that's my Tophat combo with the tilt back legs installed. What a pain in the ass that was.

Here's my junk again...




I'm thinking of selling the 2002 Purple Hot Rod ($1,400), the Taylor 12-string acoustic ($1,000) & the '65 Fender Tremolux Amp ($1,200)... anyone interested, drop me a line!

Budge


*EDIT* Both geetars come with hard shell cases and the amp comes with a vinyl cover... Hey Taggy Jess:; VINYL!!!!

Is your silver jet a 90s model Radioclash?

DAMN Budgie!!!!

I love that tremelux man oh man!! I had to let my blonde one go! I'll take the purple hotrod, use to have one and it comforted me at night

here is my current mess of noise toyz(guarded by silent alarm and ammo:


and the practice room with the funky 60's torodor gretsch kit clone

Hey TV, how is that Wild West parlor guitar? Does it have good tone? How's the intonation? Budge - Jake E Lee was a mean guitar player! I loved the Bark at the Moon album, and got to see him play here when they came through town.
