How well is the ESP vs the Jackson?

I am still undecided between the 2...

Or LTD, cheaper version of an ESP but now a days they have both got top models.

i did have problems with the pots in the epiphone but when i changed the pickups in my jackson to EMGs, i took the jackson pots and chucked em in the epi... no problems since... although i will be chucking EMGs in the epi at some stage too...

both of those guitars were around the $2000 mark (they are a fair bit cheaper now though), to be honest i prefer the ESP/LTD it's got a nice heavy mahogany body for some great tone and sustain and the set neck is really nice. i actually use the jackson as a backup for the ESP/LTD. don't get me wrong, i love em both... you really need to try em out and once you buy one set it up properly.

I will be getting one of these in the not too distant future -> http://www.espguitars.co.jp/edwards/cy/E-CY-165CTM.html

That is awesome!

Geesus! $2000, I really cannot justify myself spending that much on a guitar... Hell yeah they are absolutely awesome but still... Feels like I need to buy insurance for a $2000 guitar LOL!

Yeah I had a feeling the ESP would be a all rounder nicer guitar.

I love the twin EMG humbuckers and the single coil pick up. "CHUG CHUG" all the way LOL!

My next guitar I plan to get, I will be putting on gauge 54 - 11 strings in C tuning, get it all set up like my other guitars.

I like to play a lot of Metalcore / Tech Death Core and ESP sounds perfect for it.

But a lot of ppl are suggesting and also using Gibson / Les Paul guitars... Nice guitars but I don't like the look of them and I don't see what the hype is all about.

Sure they have been around for a long time and make great products... Maybe they do produce a very good sound...

Farken hell that ESP Horizon FR-II look sic!

So for an ESP, you are looking for at least spending $1500 + for a top model... Yeah?

Is there anything below $1000 mark but still a decent guitar?

Your obviously in a band yeah...

My drumkit is on eBay right now :( Sadly have to sell it due to neighbours. I've still got all of my guitars though :O

You sold your drum kit so you could watch that lame ass TV show? YOU IDIOT.

I didn't know you play drums. We should get together for a jaaaaaaam.

Yeah cool I check it all out.

Thanks!

Yeah I was in a Punk band.

I left cuz the other guitarist wanted full control over what the band wanted to play.

Then the Bass and Drummer left cuz they realised the guitarist was an idiot, until then they understood why I left.

Now I am just writing some acoustic tracks with a friend and there is still development with my other friends of a Metalcore band, but nothing solid yet...

I have Peavey Studio Pro 112 (single cone... Like 1 speaker or whatever you call it) amp and an AXL Amp Rapture Series quad box - http://www.axlguitars.com/aarap100hr412c.html

There are better ones out there but this only cost me $750 with the Head and Quad box. + I run my guitars through a Boss Metal Zone pedal anyway.

If you supply the drum kit then I'm down for that :whistling: I haven't played in about 12 months though so I'd be rusty as.

I also play a few other instruments...

just a question - what are those 'head' amp do... are they any better than the one with speaker and amp built in 1 box

The Head is a separate unit that sits on top of the Quad box (4 big speakers in one box).

It contains all the controls like Volume, Treble, Mid Tones, Bass, Distortion / Gain, Reverb ect.

The more money you spend the better sound and more controls you will have.

I guess they are separate because it's is easier to carry and you can't fit the Head in the quad box cuz the 4 speakers have taken up all the room.

so the head unit itself don't have speakers in them?

I think for my own home use /hobby guitar, i'd be better off getting a small practice amp then :-)

That is correct (As pictured below) the Head unit does not have speakers in them.

marshallmg100stack.jpg

Just sits on top of the Quadbox and is connected be a short guitar lead from behind + there is a Power input in it as well + other inputs for effects pedals and pre amps etc.

You can still use the Stack (Head + Quadbox) at home, just turn it down LOL!

They are mainly used for playing shows.

Hobby / home use, small amp will be fine.

      Ha ha ha, that's fair mate! We have the crackhead dogs now. Mainly because the missus wants the crazy dogs while she still has the energy and capacity to be able to keep up with them! Ha ha our current two are both Working GSD, there brothers and sisters (from the same litters) are in Police, Corrective Services, and I believe one did end up in defence force too. They're wild and fun, yet right now, both curled up asleep on the lounge room floor while we watch some TV. Mal is very likely the next dog (unless I get my couch potato guardian dog 😛 )   What are your Kitties names? Are you planning some house work, like those high kitty shelves, built in scratching post, and some cat passages from one room to another room?

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
