wow they're real beauties..

 

[subversion]

if you want a decent practice amp to own & on a $300 budget, do well to check the CRATE VTX15B. i deem it on par with Roland's CUBE30. available @ Davis...

Up and close, how does the 2006 SZ520 looks like...? The pics are fairly ok...

 

[kank_39]

Dude.. Is that yours? That axe rocks! Love the grey flamed body and the fingerboard inlays are interesting. Is it neck thru?

 

[subversion]

i certainly prefer this year's inlay- it cover's the entire fretboard/ useful reference.

i don't think that's his...

 

[xspace]

Not mine. I also prefer 2006's... Initially, it looks very vague from those pictures, these pics proves that it's improved...

 

[Lifehouse]

I like. Ah beng inlays always does it for me.. :axe: :smt080

Have you guys seen the Double Drive 3X Programmable Distortion from Tech 21?
It looks damn sweet, saw it on this month's issue of Guitar Player. Can't find the picture, but it's blue and has 3 metal footswitches.

Specs are as follow,
- 100 per cent analog
- 3 channels
- 2 different types of distortion can be used individually or cascaded together.
- Active 3band EQ
- 195usd (Retail)

yup..and the seymour duncan tube overdrive from the same mag looks temptin too...

 

[subversion]

Duncan's tube drive ishas been around since January, promptly after the NAMM feature. heard clips of it- will appeal to vintage tone fans as it's not a high gain unit.

 

[imsuchajoker]

Sub any idea if the duncan pedal is avaliable here? and whats the sz520 priced at huh?


Cheers

 

[subversion]

the Duncan tube-pedal isn't here yet, will alert the forum once it's in. 8)

i was hunting for good Cort to invest in & came across the Hiram Bullock signature model- it's really surprising how good this guitar sounds. the price tag makes this guitar a tempting piece of ware.

Cort HBS (List: $750)

[crozzfire]

i love that ax-50..had been eyeing it for a damn long time but simply no $$..

 

[subversion]

tts a sweet telecaster there...does swee lee have that too?

nope, it's a Jap repro. it's raunchy sounding & will appeal to those who are into lots of single coil bite at crunch settings.
