I found the strat handled more gain on the Ghia... but I didn't like the tone as much...
The Townshend sounds a bit stratty... especially on the middle position, which I use quite a bit for rhythm work. It has some quack.
You can hear it on that guitar, for example, at the beginning of Love Boat Captain, when Ed first strums the chords...
it's a bit stratty... to my ears.
because the P-90 is a fat ass single coil. So you're looking for kind of smooth but not dark right? some kind of semi hollow with humbuckers (I'm still saying ASAT classic bluesboy or 70's thinline Tele Custom) Perhaps a commanche in blue sparkle. That'd be cool. No where near the $1100 tag though.
My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.
Maybe you need to settle down with your instruments and get reacquainted. No one gives up a Gibson unless they are upgrading. Fuck I'm bassist and I have one. Glad you were able to find a bass player so your shows didn't have to stop.
SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

yeah, you gave up what was it 2 Les Pauls for like 3 modulus's and an upright. pretty good trade. How is your group coming along Pure?

Not quite right, 1 for 3 and I'm loving every minute of them.

Not me, I'm not in a formal band. I write and do session and studio work when I have the time. Or I'll play locally with friends who have bands or just jam sessions. I'll only travel as part of band if its someone I really want to play with. Sorry.

a 1963 ES-120T... overpriced at $1000... they did have some cool stuff, but it is mostly a repair shop. The tech was knowledgable and friendly to deal with... we talked about a tweed deluxe he had at the shop. Neil Young.
Nothing to get very excited about.
A guy I know offered me his Orange AD30 Twin Channel Head for my Townshend... he needs something he can sell, and no one will buy the Orange head... it would be tempting, but I need a guitar more than I need that amp.
We gig this Friday night... 2.5 hours straight, no set breaks... non stop rock.

Gig should be fun anyway. It's a fair trade but yeah you are looking for a guitar, you aren't much looking for a twin channel anyhow.
Good luck with the gig and the new Bass player.
My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.
I am looking forward to the gig... we rehearsed a bit last night with the new bass player... he actually fits in the mix better than the current bass player ever has...
he plays a very strong and present bass, but doesn't overdo it... it's a good fit with our guitar player.

Indeed. I have played one of those... they are very nice guitars.
Interestingly enough, your comment about Brian May gave me another idea...
a treble booster... might be a good kick for when I really need to cut.
Right now, I am going to wait until we rehearse with the new bass player some more. I need to see where I need to be in the mix before I purchase anything different.

yeah, it's a thought. I was just thinking lower wattage EL-84 amps similar chime. If the Burns sounds good in an AC 30 it's going to sound good in the Z too. A treble booster is a good thought.

Man that sounds EXACTLY THE SAME as my drummer....but every once in a while he shows signs of change....then he falls back into the same slump. We are floating the rock ocean of shit in the same fucking boat.
I'm getting of tired of trying also....I'm starting to realize that you just can't change some people if they are lathargic by nature. You know what I mean....you shouldn't have to convince someone to get a car....they should have the motivation to get one on their own...
My typical solution is to try not to let it bother me... if it really bugs me, I tell him about it, that way I am not bottling up frustration or anger...
I'm so glad it was only water I was drinking when I read this.

I might just have to use the bridge pup more...
in all honesty I would prefer to be the old guy who has had the same guitar for 25 years... and it is just perfectly broken in...
I think, if I get my senses about me, this SG and my tele could be those guitars.
Stop tinkering and start playing.
Did I mention we found a new bass player last night?

I will post it am some point... I might have some new pics from this show...
House I thought of another option, might be perfect.
The Burns Brian May. Ebony fret board. Burns Tri Sonics. 21 pickup configurations Grover Auto Lockers. Orignial looks. Comfort. Worth a look Eh?

If that happens watch for a complete overhaul of my music situation...
PA sold, SG sold, 212 sold, hello 112 and new Martin Acoustic...
Lock myself away and practice...
So, he gets on everyone's nerves with his attitude... we try our best to ignore him.
Delusional is a word that comes to mind.
Already caused our old bass player to leave.
I am all for accepting people for their differences, but that doesn't mean I want to be in a band with a slacker with no motivation.
We are trying to get our current drummer to get a driver's liscense and car so he can get himself to practice and gigs.
Then I kick his drumset at the end of the night
I'm so glad it was only water I was drinking when I read this.
