Re: Dream rig/sig

I've got my dream rig...it all came together in the last year.

After searching for 30 years for a Tele with the tone of my '51 Tele I found it by installing a Jerry Donahue bridge pickup in one of my Teles.

My buddy Rondo traded me his lightweight super resonant '00 Les Paul 1959 CS and I put a set of Tom Holmes pickups in that guitar...so I'm covered there. Had to let him have my '53 tweed Super but that's OK: I have a '51 just like Billy Gibbons!

I found the Hendrix tone I've been searching for a few months ago when I bought a Fulltone Clyde Wah and '69...those are the ultimate in better than vintage wah wah and fuzzface design.

Found a nice early 70's Echoplex, mid 80's Ratt like Jeff Beck's and a clean MIJ Boss DS-1.

My '63 Strat is sounding great these days...as is my Monoco Super Pro with Seth Lover & Custom Custom.

As for amps, I've got that covered too. I found a real '59 Fender tweed Bassman last year...and still have my '70 Marshall 50 watt too.

I like to play in stereo through 20 watt Fender amps and I've got two Deluxe Reverbs and two 5E3 Deluxes.

I lucked into six Celestion Silver Bulldogs from the 60's with original cones...those are now in all of my tweed Deluxes.

I found a '53 Gibson Southern Jumbo just like the Everly Brothers used to record Wake Up Little Suzie, and still havemy Taylor and Martin. So I gave away my old Ovation Custom Balladeer to the monks and nuns at the Deer Park Monestery.

I have my lap steels together: some old Bakelite Rickenbachers and a Silver Hawaiian and some Supros, Silvertones and Airlines.

I sold off all the stuff I wasn't playing ( six Hamers ) and found a Fender Custom Shop '53 Tele with larger frets and 9.5" fingerboard radius...AND it's actually lighter and sounds better and plays better than my old '54 Tele.

The one ax I still have a jones over is the National TriCone Resonator guitar. I'd still like to have one of those. But I don't need it: I have a real nice 1930 National Style O like Mark Knopfler's already.



So I'm feeling pretty blessed these days...but you know what: none of that stuff will make you happy if you're not. :smack: It's just stuff.

Re: Dream rig/sig

I tend to agree with Lew. I've been playing a long time and have collected quite a nice selection of equipment/instruments. I guess the only thing I would like to have would be maybe this new Fender 57 twin I've been reading about. I don't know if I will like it, but I am very happy with the gear I am currently using! Gibson & fender guitars... Fender and Marshall Amps. I have a few pedals, but not a lot. I would like to get some good recording gear though!!

Re: Dream rig/sig

I'm not entirely sure what I want these days. I love my 2555, but the versatility leaves a lot to be desired. I've been thinking of a rack setup (3 tube ADA MP-1 w/ VHT 2/50/2) but I'm not sure on this either. I suppose once I find the right preamp I may go that route... :confused:

Lew, pls tell me, how do you measure the impedance of a fingerboard ?? I do want to know... thanks for sharing your knowledge... :reporter:

Re: Dream rig/sig

I have great heads (50W 1985 JCM800 + Rivera Knucklehead), and a great rack system (Engl preamp + Marshall EL34 100/100) ... two 4x12's, and some great guitars.

Can't really think of anything GAS-realted I might want, other than to finish my Kamikaze 4 project; leaning more towards recording gear GAS now: new Neumann or BLUE mic, and sweet mic pre, like a vintage Neve ...

Re: Dream rig/sig

well i am really close to my dream rig already.

I have my bluesbird and that takes care of the les paul like guitar
i have two teles with one on the way and they all have vintage type single coils so i have a lot of the tele tones nailed
i have my strat with with antiquities.
All i need is a 58/59 gibson reissue and a p90 equiped les paul and i will be set for electrics.

as for the amps well, i have my soldano but i would like an orange amp and a matchless and i like to keep them pretty small, 50 watts and under.

as for pedals, i need to get a boost and a fuzz and i think that is all i really want.


oh yeah i forgot one thing. I really would like a benedetto jazz guitar to play. I love the sound of a real jazz box and they feel even better.
