So I had a replica of Paul Gilbert's Ibanez Fireman made by Jaden Rose.

Here is what Paul's looks like

The Amp and Cab (so happy with my rig atm)

Gustov - I'm assuming this rig is in your house somewhere? How loud is it?

I was thinking about getting a mesa boogie head with a 2x12 cab, but was worried whether it'd be overkill in my flat.

That's a pretty chunky neck joint...

Looks pretty faithful to the original though.

Dare I ask how much?

Even my 5W Blackstar is VERY loud at full volume - doesn't mean you have to turn it all the way up though.

Hi Dingle

Sure, £1700, The guitar is built exactly the same as Paul's, the neck is very very thick.

The Orange 2x12 is the best cab I've ever played through. I've played through Marshall, Mesa, Blackstar and ENGL cabs.

Yes it's my bedroom rig but I play it at reasonably loud volumes tbh. I've played the HT-5 and whilst it's fantastic my JVM does sound significantly better, so I feel as if my amp is justified.

Fisk · 21 Feb 2010 at 20:15

You could always buy an attenuator to get high-volume saturated tone without being so loud, even low-wattage tube amps like the HT-5 will be too loud to turn up high in your house. I'm considering getting one to use with my Carvin Legacy 2 because it's much too loud hehe

Actually I should get some pics of that up here too.

Loving the all the PG gear by the way, especially that Fireman replica.

Gustov · 21 Feb 2010 at 20:36

I had an attenuator before (THD Hotplate) and it made my tone sound like death, I'm the happiest I've ever been with my tone atm

Thanks for the compliment on the PG gear.

Fisk · 21 Feb 2010 at 21:00

Yeah I've heard bad things about the Hotplate before. There are better ones around though, I've been looking into getting either a Weber Mass or Dr Z Air Brake, both are meant to be very good. My only problem is I'd like to try before I buy and that's going to be impossible

Dup · 21 Feb 2010 at 21:52

I've posed these before I think, but the 3rd party image host went pop so here we go again.

I don't know where it fits in in the grand scheme of things as it was given to me. All I do know it is an Ibanez Blazer 1995 reissue (BL300TBL)

Jabbs · 22 Feb 2010 at 19:07

I am using a Ibanez Prestige 1570 as in picture not really got room for fancy amps etc so atm using Guitar Rig 4 on the pc has some sweet sounds.

Check the youtube video for some of the sounds it can produce.

2007 Comemmorative '57 Vintage Reissue... One of the nicest Strats I have ever played. These baby's retailed at £1500, got mine for £1k recently. (£750 + Part trade Fotoflame Strat).

Jimbo · 12 Mar 2010 at 13:36

Hey Jabbs ive got Guitar rig 4 too, how do you plug into it? I use stealth plug but its a bit of a pain, as i want it to come through my pc speakers. I can hook up through an old roland cube 30x, it sounds not too bad. is that your youtube video? or someone elses? i like the whole lot of love tone. Pity it wernt a bit more high res, so i could see the settings. sweet though.

I'm sorry, what?

Well, not really. I'm waiting until they get a different colour in...

Nice strat mate.

You should be very proud owning that thing.

Steve2000 · 19 Mar 2010 at 22:05

She sounds ok so far, Need to get her properly in tune which i think I'm going to do over the weekend :-)

I feel like i need to upgrade my amp now!

Jimbo · 20 Mar 2010 at 11:48

looks just like my Gibson C.A. but mine has headstock binding and holy inlay. I have completely removed the electrics in mine and now it has Bumble bee caps and RS super pots/CTS believe me it sounds awesome now. Get a nice tube amp.. lovely.
