NGD and show us your set up (SG content)
Very happy recipient of an SG from Grant. Shown here with the rest of the small herd.
The SG is much more 'rounded' sounding than I expected - which is great! I thought it might be a bit brasher.
Really happy with the upgrade from the faded SG 3 pick up which I also enjoy a lot.
Poor old tele came out its case for the photo - i'd forgotten it wasn't even strung. Used to be number 1.
Happy days.[/url][/url]

They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

AC15C1 but with upgraded reverb and Celestion Blue. Love the set up, much more plug and play than some I've had.KNNZ wrote:Awesome gear mate! beautiful vox u got there! what kind of Vox is that?
Looking at my simple pedalboard makes me feel like my username is a bit fraudulent now. Might have to do a clear out of gear I'm not using now.

Awesome! Love SG's into a Vox
I think that Vox is my old one I did up - cracker wee amp that one.
I also think a Wine-red strat would be perfect match for that setup

I agree - but the difference between my outgoing Jaguar and incoming SG has been noted and I am battling redirection efforts.TmcB wrote:Awesome! Love SG's into a Vox

1300 is a great price. My tele is the same year, 1989.

Re: NGD and show us your set up (SG content)
Nice work! Glad you're enjoying it. Maestro equipped SGs have a more airy chime to them than a stop tail. Gibson in recent times have tried to make SGs sound like a LP for some reason. I really dig that open sound and I think Delayman, with your other SG you'll have all bases covered.Delayman wrote:Very happy recipient of an SG from Grant.

Oh, that sounds familiar. Did you get that from Conway? I owned one like this for a while, and liked it very much.Delayman wrote:AC15C1 but with upgraded reverb and Celestion Blue.

I got it from Eruera, before that sizzling badger, but that doesn't mean that Conway and you haven't been in the chain.olegmcnoleg wrote:Oh, that sounds familiar. Did you get that from Conway?

Maybe we should have a book of Chronicles thing going on - "And lo I possess an AC15 and Conway begat Oleg begat..."

Yep, I have a bluesbucker to put in one slot of my Faded which apparently: "looks like a standard humbucker, but sounds like a P90 and cancels 60-cycle hum as effectively as the average humbucker."GrantB wrote:Nice work!

So then I think it will be all bases covered. Although I have wondered about putting a 3 way selector on the faded and making the middle one redundant - who needs 6 combinations!

So do I need to check that the speaker has not just been painted blue?

Nope. My one came from Phil to me to Oleg back to me. And is now sitting in the beach house to be used for 3 weeks a year. I should probably move it on, it'll just be sitting there till next Christmas.Delayman wrote:So do I need to check that the speaker has not just been painted blue?

Yep it's blonde tolex. Makes a huge tone difference. More fun somehow.Conway wrote:Besides, this one is blonde tolex, isn't it? Mine is standard black.
