Actually Exterminator, you can't be all that bad. I keep looking at your avatar and thinking "damn, is that a 335 in his shopping cart?"....
I'm not sure. It looks like one. Sort of.
Enlighten me.
You pick? (other than your nose when looking up big words?)

Not sure of the model...I lifted the image from the Strike a Deep Chord: Blues Guitars For The Homeless album.
I would never call myself a guitar player...I play at a lot of instruments but have always had the role of lead vocals in any band I've been in. I've owned some nice guitars, though...
"It's a high school vocabulary word; had you gone to high school, you'd know that."
Well, I suppose it's a good thing that you can claim to remember at least one thing from your high school english Exterminator. I'm sure it makes your mama proud.
More importantly:
That looks like a PRS. Very nice indeed Exterminator!!!!
Have you checked these out, btw?............: http://line6.com/variax/collection.html
I've owned alot of guitars and I N-E-V-E-R thought I would sell them off. But I did and now have 1 of these along with my acoustic, my dobro and mandolin. But, I can claim with honesty that I simply will never own another electric.......because I don't need to. I have 25 in one. Truly amazing stuff. Sounds mighty fine through a 4/10 fender blues deluxe.

Yep, PRS Custom 24, artist package in black cherry quilt, stop tail...I custom ordered it, took like a year and a half to get it.

Nice indeed Exterminator. I'm sure it plays as well as it looks and it DO look mighty fine. It's a keeper, no doubt.
If you get a chance and have a decent music store nearby, check out the variax 700 (provided you haven't already). The different ax's modeled are truly amazing and simply "dead on" sound. The playability of the neck/fretboard is trimmed and no strain. You'll be impressed.
But remember, it is important to turn the amp toggle into the O-N position for the sound to reproduce accurately. :biggrin:
I now steer clear of stores which sell musical instruments or P.A. equipment as I am prone to G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome).
"I now steer clear of stores which sell musical instruments or P.A. equipment as I am prone to G.A.S. (gear acquisition syndrome)."
Once again, we have something in common as I am all too well familiar with this ailment. It's a very strange condition appearing without warning, without any particular pattern that can be measured, and is sometimes extremely costly to diagnose and treat.
I completely emphathize.
I would "pray" for you but somehow I get the feeling you would reject the results as being something foreign, mystical, and completely untrustworthy, I mean, being the heathen you are and all. ;D :wink:

The Fender Blues Deluxe is a single 12" amp

Fender also has a 112 Hot Rod Deluxe, 212 Hot Rod DeVille, and a 410 Hot Rod DeVille

"Think you really mean a Fender 410 Blues DeVille"
Thanks Da Wham. Yup. That's the one. It's been so long since I plugged in (actually the amp is covered and sitting in a tight corner where I can't even hardly put my eye on it)...that I can't even remember my own amp.
Isn't that a shame?

Don't feel bad, I have three dozen or more amps......down from somewhere close to a hundred......and fifty or so guitars.......down from a couple hundred or so......in storage. I admit to being an equipment whore. :biggrin:

Electrics it depends more on the electronics.....mainly pick ups.....and acoustics depends on construction and tone woods. In the end the player determines the most unique part of a sound.

An EBO, used to have an EB-3 myself. Liked it a lot. Played with a guy for quite a while that used a Rick like that. Have any problems with the neck set on that Kramer? Those things tended to collapse in on themselves.
My main axes at the moment are Jimmy Vaughn Strats modified to personal specs played through a Blues Junior, Hot Rod Deluxe/DeVille, or Hot Rod DeVille/Deluxe all modified to personal specs. My basses are a Hofner knock off, a Jazz, and a Precision played thorough a Rogue 120/15 Mini-Combo, an Ampeg 115, or a Peavey Alpha tube head through a Peavey 1516 cabinet.

I bought that EBO brand new in 1969! I really loved that short neck! It let you fly like you were playing lead! But I loved the Rick sound for punch and hard driving stuff.
The only problem I ever had with the Kramer was the bridge. It popped off once. But man, the battery for the pickup is in a really bad place - inside the body up above the sound hole - really hard to change in a hurry!

Bass being more a sideline for me I like the short scale necks. I love the sound of a Jazz though. It's got that bass register of a Boesendorfer or a Steinway going on. I forgot about the bridge thing on those Kramers. That's another common problem on that guitar.

Well, I finally got the pic's of my babies taken. I took a pic of the Seagull 12 string by itself to show the wood grain. It and the 6 string Seagull are handmade in Canada from cedar and have a real nice sound. The classical guitar is the one I use when we jam around a campfire and did let the grandkids play around with it, supervised of course, until we got them a beater guitar. My favorite is my Takamine acoustic elec though.

I also had a 1974 Les Paul Black Beauty Ibanez copy until a few years ago. Should have never let that one get away! :'(
I got rid of my Les Paul 'cause it was to darn heavy. My Fender Squire might not sound as good but it plays nice and I'm happy with it.

Your Les Paul was too heavy?!? Apparently you haven't strapped that Peavey T-series bass on lately, lol! Those things weigh a TON!
My Peavey Cirrus 6-string bass is pretty heavy, but I use a wide strap, and I play regularly so I guess I'm used to it.

I've never done anything but sit and play around with the bass. The only bass I've ever stood up and played was an upright at a bluegrass jam I used to go to. I really enjoyed getting to play that... :yes: I played a smaller elec one, don't remember what kind it was a small black one, at another open stage bluegrass country thing they used to have at a restaurant in Knightstown. The upright was a lot more fun but my fingers sure hurt when I got done...lol There was an older woman named Vi Brooks who talked me into trying it she could really whale on that thing when she was wound up and she was in her early 80's at the time.
I still have my Gibson EB0 that I bought new in 1968! My duaghter even played it in a band for awhile.
That's interesting....I have been looking at EUB's (Electric Upright Bass) lately. I'd like to branch out to upright, but I don't have the "back" for a big double-bass. Heck, I have to take pain meds just to move my bass rig anymore, lol! A EUB might just be the thing! :yes:

My high school jazz band had an EB0! So I basically learned how to play on one. Not a bad bass guitar at all.
My own bass at the time was a Hondo. The pickups were so cheap that you could sing into them and it would come out the amp! I shi tzu not!

Between me and my daughter, we have the Gibson, a Rick 4001S, a Kramer acoustic and a Grendel.
Now in my prime I had an SG Cherry finish (circa 1973), Les Paul Custom - sunburst finish (1975), along with the Ibanez, and a Marshall Stack for gigs and a Kustom (I forget the model) 2 speaker amp for jammin at home and practice sessions. All the toys to go with them back then too. . . But it got to be a PITA moving that stuff all the time, (I moved a lot in my work back then), and so when my marriage crashed I tanked most of that stuff except for the Ibanez and the Kustom amp, which I had until a few years ago. . .
A buddy of mine once had a Strat that he got at a Richie Blackmore and Rainbow gig. Blackmore tossed it off stage and my buddy ended up with the body. Transferred the guts to his own Strat and I have never heard anything with the punch of that instrument to this day! Wow!

Oh he!! no, lol! My back couldn't take moving that 1820! I have a Peavey 15" and a 210HT. I still use the Megabass, but just for power. I'm hoping someone will create a 1u power amp that's at least 200 watts per side that I can replace it with.
On the front-end I have a Line 6 Basspod XT Pro. It and the Megabass are in a flight case, so it's still killing my back to move my rig.
The nice thing about the 210HT is that it's freq response is down to 30 hz (my low open B is 31 hz), so I use it by itself for small venues.
Sorry to hear about your guitars. "Me" filled me in.

I'll check those out, thanks. I really like the sounds I am getting, but I think most of that is due to the front-end processing.
What I mostly need now is lightweight, powerful amplification (2-channel), and lightweight cabinets with enough clean low end.
The 1-15 and 2-10 cabinets have given me a lot of flexibility. I still prefer to bi-amp for large venues where I will be cranked up pretty loud, but as I said, the 210HT is clean an punchy down to 30 hz.
I also a a 60-watt Fender practice amp that was a waste of money. Good sound, but clips at 1/2 volume! With NO preamping or processing, I might add.
This is neat!!!!!

The guitar of endless acoustics
Feb. 4, 2009
By David Chandler
Natural wood, with its unique grain patterns, is what gives traditional acoustic instruments warm and distinctive sounds, while the power of modern electronic processing provides an unlimited degree of control to manipulate the characteristics of an instrument's sound. Now, a guitar built by a student at MIT's Media Lab promises to provide the best of both worlds.
The Chameleon Guitar—so named for its ability to mimic different instruments—is an electric guitar whose body has a separate central section that is removable. This inserted section, the soundboard, can be switched with one made of a different kind of wood, or with a different structural support system, or with one made of a different material altogether. Then, the sound generated by the electronic pickups on that board can be manipulated by a computer to produce the effect of a different size or shape of the resonating chamber.
Its creator, Media Lab master's student Amit Zoran, explains that each piece of wood is unique and will behave in a different way when it is part of an instrument and begins to vibrate in response to the strings attached to it. Computers can't model all the details of that unique responsiveness, he says. So, as he began experimenting with the design of this new instrument, he wondered "what would happen if you could plug in acoustic information, like we do with digital information on a memory stick?"
Wonder if he put anything on Youtube to demonstrate it. Sure sounds neat. :yes:
Here's one.
