Patricide

Quattroste

Sounds good, but I think Gearwh0re Fest '08 Part II might be a better name!

Congrats on the Fujigen LP! Sure looks nice. :cool:

feylya

I just tuned it up there after lunch and had a bit of a play. I declare this to be a rather fine instrument.

So Doc... Sadowsky or Bacchus?!

It's a fair question. In terms of tone, build quality, playability, they're about equal, honestly. In terms of price, you can get two Bacchus' for the price of one Sadowsky.

Great basses both!

Parsley

That's very interesting! I've some stuff on the way soon, I'll post pics when it gets here!

Doctor J

Yeah, I had always suspected there'd be nothing in it, but now I know. Guess I'm just going to be pimping them even more now :pac:

feylya

Now you're just copying me That looks lovely

Quattroste

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo. STOP WITH THE FCUKIN GAS INDUCING POSTS!

Boycey. Congratulations man, that is real nice. Don't forget to give us aa AB against the Gibson you gladly sold to get this guitar :pac:

feylya

Actually, I'd like to AB it against my Fujigen.

boycey

Thanks lads. Im well chuffed with it, it sounds as good as it looks, but its the way it feels thats the real revelation. The best guitar Ive owned so far, thats for sure. Its built to an extremely high standard and is a pleasure to play- basically all the stuff Quattroste and DocJ have been telling us for yonks!!
I really liked the Gibson I just sold, sounded great, but in a straight up A/B test I dont think too many of you would be going home with the Gibson (pains me to say that, Im a sucker for the aul Gibbo's). They're really not in the same league.
By the way- €1062 all in from Switzerland- no duties or customs were charged.

Feylya- lets just say great minds think alike- those two guitars could be twins!! A straight up a/b test will be done for sure. Yours is lovely - very 'classic' Les Paul.
BostonB- thats the sellers gallery- nu2uguitars in Switzerland.

Doctor J

How does the neck compare to the oiled one, size and with a finish on it?

Quattroste

It's all the Doc's fault, I'd never heard of Bacchus before he started ranting on about them.

Having the GAS attack of my life for another one too. I have to get rid of something to justify it though, and I don't want to get rid of anything! :mad:

That is the toughest thing about a GAS attack. I miss my Hellraiser

Edit: Oh Boycey, congrats.

Quattroste

Looking like my Tokai ES100 is going to have to go. This was my first purchase that really started the whole gear buying and selling thing. Least played guitar but I can't fault it either. Only bad side is its bit heavy for a semi but has the most wonderful neck. Fcuk!

boycey

Thats a tough call Quattroste, its never nice letting a good guitar go!! You should get a good price for the Tokai though. BTW what are you gassing for?

Doc- feels pretty much the same size wise, its a nice fat manly neck. BUT the oil finish is definitely nicer on the hand. I was all set to go for an oil finish but that sunburst kept calling to me. I actually thought to myself last night that the oil finish with p90's is almost different enough to justify owning one of each. Now theres a thought...

Squirrel

Lovely guitars Boycey and Fey. I got a new Les Paul today, albeit only an Epiphone, I tried to take some photos there but I'm gonna have to wait until there's some natural light. The most horrible thing is not being able to touch it until christmas, I had a wee go of it there but couldn't turn it up at all. I should get pics of it tomorrow

GAS has been satisfied. Now the wait. Funnilly enough, it's for another Bacchus. Pics up when it arrives and all that stuff.

This is further proof though, that getting together for a gear fest yokey thing is seriously bad for your pocket/marrige/job/kids/life :pac:

Quattroste

Linkey no workey!

Pics were working for me, I think you have to login to Bebo to see them.

Very nice guitar indeed. Love white les pauls. What did you make of the guitar shops up there?

feylya

Profile was private earlier. There's something about white Les Paul's that's just wrong enough to be right

Squirrel

Yeah was private earlier, fixed that. The shop I bought it off, Matchetts Music were very helpful I found. They couldn't do anything on the price, as it had just been reduced £20 from last week, so £389 I got it for. Works out as in or around €485-490 so I'm delighted. €499 on thomann.

I don't look as much a tosser as I had thought I would holding it, I should play some Manics. Nothing as quality as yours fey, or Boycey's, but my first real electric guitar, after my Behringer beginners guitar of the last year and a half.

feylya

Good call on the Manics. Epiphones are nice enough for starting out on and there's plenty of parts available if you want to upgrade them. Just make sure to get a wide padded strap for it, just to save your back/shoulder

All the best with it!
This is where it begins my friend, another year and a half God knows what you'll be playin'

Dord

Congrats! Give it a few months and you'll have the GAS bug again! :P

Squirrel

I already have a hankering for an amp. I'll stick with my Vox AD30 for now I suppose, until I can afford some GAS, stupid petrol taking most of my money.

I'll try take some shots of the Les Paul, the amp and my Epiphone Dove tomorrow.

I was playing it for about an hour with my strap that I never had a problem with on the Behringer, I'll be going for a well padded strap after that, and strap locks, I've never been so nervous about dropping anything in my life.

boycey

Nice one Squirrel. Enjoy that Epiphone, may she serve you well.

fish-head

I'm sure the Epi will serve you well, Squirrel. I've had my Sheraton for four years now and I wouldn't even consider getting rid of it.

I've had sheraton for about 7/8 years they are a lovely guitar, only let down by weak electrics. although I've never changed mine.

Quattroste

:mad: A MONTH AGO! and were only seeing pics now!

Nice guitar lavasoft. I prey that I never get to hold a goldtop as I know what that would do to my GAS gland.

Doctor J

Man I do love goldtops. Nice!

sorry but I don't work in I.T. and it has taken me this long to figure out how to get the pics up, there,s more guitar pics to come but I don't know when.

There are some beautiful sticks on this thread I really like the bacchus strat on first page and I don't really go for that type of guitar but it is cool:cool:

Dord

Gold top LP with P90's = teh win!

boycey

Goldtops are cool, more so with p90's. Nice score lavasoft.

BTW anyone look at this thread from start to finish lately? (it takes a while!) What a collection. We must have a small forest worth of timber between us all. Well done chaps, keep those photos coming!

I did the other day, can you imagine how much all the gear is worth. Actually, how much do you reckon all the gear would cost? At the prices paid by the owner

I was playing my friend's Vintage Advanced LP gold top today, even it looked stunning, I can't imagine what a real one would look like in the flesh. Hmmm, P90's.

BostonB

What kinda strat is that?

The_g-man

Fender American Deluxe QMT HSS.
http://www.fender.com/products/search.php?partno=0101580852

Looks a whole lot nicer in person than the impression I got seeing it on thomann and the like before.

There's a Bacchus Empire guitar in the u-box along the same lines,



But I'm definitely happy with mine.:cool:

Dord

Cool guitar, I prefer the Bacchus though!

The_g-man

The Bacchus is definitely hot, but I liked the way the ebony fretboard stood out on mine, it has the roller nut which is always a bonus and it was right in front of me when GAS hit.:p

Going by web pics alone, I would have gone for the Bacchus, but there's something special about this one to me.:pac:

Dord

VERY NICE!

How do you find the Kahler? What pickups are those also?

Darkstrike

Thanks!:)

The Kaher, I love it, I have one on a P too.
I keep it in Eb to give the bar a little extra range, they aren't the most useful adition to a bass, but they are one of the most fun!:D

The pickups are OBL Bill Lawrence.

Patricide

And what kinda things can u do with a trem on a bass, ive always wanted to have a go. And your in ballyheigue too, im just over the road there in tralee!
