Epiphone is a guitar company owned by Gibson. The Les Paul is a guitar THAT THEY MAKE. Just so you know. Well I don't have a dream guitar. I use guitars that meet my needs. In this case they must be solid built and have EMG pick ups. Thats why I own the two following guitars. (I own many others, rarely play with them anymore.) Epiphone Goth Thunderbird IV Bass Schecter Damien FR Electric Guitar This next guitar I put $200 worth of EMG pickups in. Its a light guitar thats great to jump around with.

The SG was cheap, light, and easy to retrofit. A fun fact though, it is all hardwired. The knobs and toggle do nothing since they would be turned and flipped when thrown around. I rarely adjust those anyways.

Epiphone Goth Thunderbird IV Bass What are your thoughts on this bass? Is it heavy or top heavy? I'm considering it for recording, just haven't demoed one yet. If your looking for a deep dark bass with EMGs then the Thunderbird Goth is a great choice. Yes, it is very heavy especially on the head stock. You can perform a fix found online or you can man up your left arm and hold the neck up. After a month of solid playing it was no longer an issue. A big pro is this thing rarely goes out of tune even after dropping it. Its solid built and is amazingly affordable with the quality put into this bass. I found the shape and length of the bass requires you to buy a slightly rarer and expensive case. Honestly if you get a chance to demo it do that first. If your used to light basses this would be a massive adjustment to play.

It's a very solid bass, very light and it sounds great [my bassist had just purchased one a couple of weeks ago!] You'll fall in love with it FAST!!!

I've never seen a Floyd Rose on a Les Paul body, and especially never heard of them being made as a model line. Suppose later I'll have to hunt down some links to this.

Floyd Roses are by and large a maintenance nightmare, but they can be fun.

None of the guitar's personality gets through. "Every EMG sounds exactly the same..." Yeah, and attaching the Kaoss Pad into a guitar is kinda limiting. I mean, the Kaoss Pad can do so much stuff. I really like my KP3! You can use it just as well IMO if the Kaoss Pad is on a stand or something. And you can use it as a midi controller and effector for a lot of stuff plus a sampler, not just a guitar fx. Ditto about Emg's. I've owned four guitars with them I think (Ltd Ec1000Vbk, Ltd Sc607b, Fernandes Vortex and now my Ibanez Rg2228) and I don't really like them. They're good for metal but not really anything else. I love my Lundgren M7 in my custom 7. It was a bit expensive though... Bare Knuckle Pickups are apparently very good too, haven't tried them myself yet though. trnscs66 posted: I just heard from the grapevine that ESP is going to start producing EC-1000's with Floyd Roses.

This has been public for a few days already, and there's been pics available of it for some time already too. Having owned an Ec1000 myself, I think they're very solid guitars, but I far prefer the ESP models because of their shape, 2x vol 2x tone pot placement, 22 frets (even though I prefer 24 actually, but they kinda ruin the "Les Paul tone" of the neck pickup) and all that. There's been a Floyd model available for ages too: I don't really like Floyds though. I like to change tunings a lot, and even with a Tremol-no, it isn't very easy on a Floyd.

LOL so the kid I drove around for the last year because he did not have a job is telling me to do something with my life? I do not live with my parents still, so you may want to rethink bringing my personal life into this randomly. I can call you out for actually having a bassist, if that offends you, than obviously it must not be true. Pics or it did not happen?

GoodVillain member Joined: 02/02/08 Location: Loserville Posts: 507	Well regarding the EMGs I am not a tone quester. I play through nothing but processors, guitar rig, and bitsmasher/glitch VSTs. I sold all my amps and play through clear speakers. The dark and heavy woods of my guitars combined with EMGs is my ideal pre-assimilated tone. So I do not think I am ruining my sound at all. Live wise if I need to switch guitars I won't compromise my sound. If I was doing trendy butt rock or whatever my approach to the guitars and set ups I use would be greatly different. But I am an experimentalist and get to do whatever the hell I want.

Ages huh, I guess I never noticed them before. But yes, I must agree, the EC-1000 is a very fine guitar. I got to play a friend's drop tuned one for a week. He had the tone pots removed and a gain boost switch put in. It played very nice and sounded great. Too bad he doesn't live closer.

I don't really like the Fm-408 at all even though I haven't tried it, because it's just a 25.5" scale. My eight string is a 27" scale (as is the Sc608b) and it's still too short IMO, the low F# is still a bit too mushy. The other guitarist in our band just owned the Ltd Sc608b BTW, but sold it recently. He said it was very good, but he couldn't grasp the low F#, he just couldn't write good riffs with it. I've got the same feeling with my Rg2228, but I'm slowly learning to use it. I've only had the guitar for about a week now though, so it's understandable. What I eventually want to accomplish with 8 strings is this: [www.youtube.com] And of course, this is why I got it in the first place: [www.youtube.com]

I would only get an eight string to be able to play some Mushuggah, even though I love the Deftones too. But I doubt I'd be able to learn any of there songs in my lifetime. Sometimes I wonder if Meshuggah's members even know how to play their own song, or is it just a phenomenon that just happens when they hit the stage.
