Nothing to be ashamed about with a Rich. I don't dig a lot of their stuff, mainly because of playability, but some of their shapes are killer. There's a guy in the Luthier's Corner on Talkbass.com who made a custom Warlock body to replace an old nasty looking one. Let me see if I can find the link.

Bingo. http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=466921&highlight=Rich+Warlock

Look around in that forum if you have a chance. There is a multitude of talented builders hanging out around the Luthier's Corner.

Oh my , wow , never would of found that . Thanks Cerb .
Did get it for a look and been meaning to frankensteing it . Change the freaking neck at least .

Quick question for anybody . Is there a such thing as 'psychedelic metal' ? or prog psychedelic metal .
Like T M V but heavier and crazier .

Hell. I'm sure there is, but I've never really heard anything that I would call that. How metal are we talking here? King Crimson can be pretty metal at times, and they are certainly what I would consider psychedelic.

El Vexilix runningthe 9 series!
I have (2) of the old AD9 delays & (3) FL9 flangers... + an broken PT9 phaser amongst my collection of vintage sound enhancement products.
The old 9 series was packed with some really killer tones....
The one I don't have, but should have, is the TS9 - don;t need it though because i use the older Fulltone FDII...

great pics so far everyone!

You've got the wrong guy, brother. I'm just a lowly bassist who knows dick about effects. Vex is the guy you want. :wink:

Yea , I miss my AD9 ' pinky' and the FL9 and my beatiful Petrucci but someone stole those works of art . Never got to obtain their phaser , lucky you . The 9 series truly does have wonderful tones
The only 'vintage' thing I have left is a digi xp100 .

Here's what i shake windows with...

Here's what i shake windows with...

I love my Marshall!!!! 1979 50w JMP head modified for 2 switchable preamp gain knobs. Its like having a two channel one channel... works great with all my guitars and pedals. MMMMmmmm.... The Fender combo is a little solid state Princeton Chorus. Great little practice amp that can handle small settings fine. 2 x 10" speakers spread the sound around and make it fuller. I really like this amp. When I split the signal and hit both the Marshall & Fender I get a pretty cool tone.... not as cool as when I had my Marshall & Mesa. I miss playing with 2 1/2 stacks!

Guitar wise, I have a plethora of Epiphones. I was playing with mulitple tunings, and taking the time to tune in between songs is not something you can do really. Both Les Pauls are of the "limited edition" variety... red w/the flame, black w/the quilt.. loaded them up with Grover Rotomatics * Seymour Duncan JBs in the bridge P/U, disconnnected the neck P/U & tone controls (less signal path travel = purer signal imo) and off to la la land.

The Noel Gallagher Supernova is actually my THIRD Supernova, but first Manchester Blue (which is a gorgeous color BTW fucking brilliant)... The 2 previous Union Jacks I had ended up being traded for a)my first Marshall one channel head, and b) my current Marshall head. The blue seems rarer to me, btu I do want to get the Union Jack again to have the pair. I changed out the tuning heads to Growver Imperials... wish I had chrome though instead of the black....

to be continued...

part II

The G&L is my latest addition. MY FIRST REAL AMERICAN GUITAR. A good friend of mine works at the factory in HB. I got to go in and try out all the guitars they had sitting around... testers, prototypes... spent a good 4 hrs in there finding the one I wanted. Killer birdseye maple neck... Seymour Duncan 59 in the neck.... shes got a prototype bridge stamped with an "M". I call it the marijuana guitar - fitting because I traded some herb for it. RAD GUITAR.

The Epi acoustic needs a trip to the shop. My little girl knocked it over and broke the electronics housing brackets.... so now the electronics module hangs out some. Kind of a bummer because this is a pretty cool acoustic. Not an old Gibson Blues King (which will be my next harvest present) but she works just fine. I changed out the tuners form the standard kidney bean grovers to the imperials to give her a more regal look. helps deviate attention from the "Epiphone" on the headstock ha ha.

The Ibanez acoustic was a gift from an ex girlfriend. I don't like it nor do I play it very much.... its cool to keep around for when friends come over to jam.
