Members ArKay Posted October 23, 2007 Author Members Share Posted October 23, 2007 Thanks all Gorgeous... Always liked Blade's, and the sound options with the actives are very useful. Yes, they really are. They give a really fat & low or nice, middy sound. Very nice Have to be careful with the battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHO COULD GIVE A F ABOUT CHRISTMAS RIGHT NOW?!?! :D Was my first order with them and most likely not my last. I'm pretty fed up with Thomann after they sent me 2 totally unplayable guitars (the 2nd was the replacement for the first). Have fun with the family and enjoy your new guitar (I hope) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TheCross Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS oh arkay - I'm as thankfull as someone who just got infected by evil GAS can be..... Swimmingpool route - great, thought about HSS or Kinmans... but hey - let's get that guitar first n check out what it's capable of... I guess I'll let mine be setup for 10s straight away... love the neck heel n rod design as well - GOT TO HAVE IT! NOW!!! and a case.... the iceman is nice, but that guitar up there just doesn't seem right to me.... it's probably the more edgy horn on the original... jup thomann is a freakin big shop - my girlfriend went there to check out some Basses and she told me it was just so large and the handling of the instruments and all the steps you had to do after buying something rather reminded her of a well known skandinavian furniture Store... their prices are always good for ,negotiations' in other shops, especially musikschmidt, they're very price focused to keep up with thomann... and plus the service - they sure can! so how's the sound of the SCs w/o the active system? cheap - good - excellent? compared to Fender guitars?

Members TheCross Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 I guess I'll go for the 3tb... got an olympic baritone tele at my luthier, a black strat copy lying around, traded my blue nashville style tele copy cos I dodn't like the color n candy apple always looked to plastic to me... except for the G.E. smith tele from another thread Good 'ol G.A.S. tell me if ya wanna get rid of some... being from here shipping is way cheaper... btw - you can never have enough guitars, especially not being a HC member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members radonballoon Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 That's fantastic! I've ALWAYS wanted a Blade! MF used to sell them several years ago, and I've always lusted after them since. Congrats! didn't they carry a pretty hefty price tag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you will take pics should you get it! Nice, colorful collection! Yeah, CAR looks plasticky somehow. Was a tossup between the Olympic White & the LPB here. Still dunno what I will get rid of, owning so many weird guitars makes it very difficult to decide. You can have too many, believe me. It's actually a space issue and the fact that I will have to ship them to China in a couple of years and may have to pay heavy import on the stuff I bring there.

Members TheCross Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 hm... right. that'll suck espescially for your rather cheap collection... got some of em real cheap... found some nice pics of the 3tbs on guitarmaniacs... EVEN MORE GAS it's adding up n adding up.... http://www.guitarmaniacs.de/cgi-bin/gallery.pl?action=gallery&id=43 No doubt, there will be pics - gotta stay true to the HC codex - no pics - no thread!

Members Edward Posted October 24, 2007 Members Share Posted October 24, 2007 Ich leibe deine Blade! (or should that be ihne Blade? I last took German in school in 1989, so....). Blades are great guitars, and definitely open to being available on good deals as they aren't so well known. What I love about them is that they produce guitars that have all these interesting, innovative little features tucked away, but with an overall vintage vibe and look on the surface. I'd quite happily play one of those in a band shooting for an overall fifties vibe, with the bonus of all the little extras tucked away in there. I'm not entirely sold on active electronics; I prefer without, but the westone I bought a couple of years back convinced me that they can be a good thing. When comes the time for me to look for a fifties-style Strat, I'm definitely gonig to be playing blad off against a CIJ Fender 57RI. (Can see me ending uo with both - eep!). I will, I will. Have another one coming (a 3 P90s strat by Vintage). I can barely move in my room anymore. Those are superb, though fundamentally flawed in three keys ways: 1] No maple fingerboards (though i did seriously consider repalcing the neck on one of them.... it'd be worth it!). I've got enough rosewood Strats that it's a dealbreaker now I prefer maple. 2] They moved the jack socket to the rim..... if this was the only flaw, I could live with it, but, meh..... the look and convenience of the traditional Strat socket is one of my favourite things about a Strat. 3] No left handers. Otherwise.... superb guitar!! I'd love a Vintage Strat type, especially one of their "relics", but no maple boards and no lefties kills it for me. Pity - there's little to beat tham at the price. For my money, they just have the edge over the Squiers, which I also like a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
