Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Do you use the same gear year after year or do you change it up with your various gear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ron Burgandy Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Change it up the past several years. I'm getting add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cliff Fiscal Posted December 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 There was a time I brought a different bass to gigs 11 times in a row. I've got a fill-in gig that practiced with once before, and am practicing with this Friday...... Used my JTM and 2x12 GB cab......thinking about taking my Vox AC30BM instead.....or maybe my Randall RGT100ES (tube) and 4x12......or maybe the Matamp and 2x12 with HOT100s. Choices! Feel like a dillweed bringing different gear all of the time.... I used to do that too....I was jamming with a cover band and would bring various 5w amps just to spite the other guitar player with a 50w Jubilee 1x12 combo.

Members dcooper830 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've been using the same stuff for the past 5 or 6 years... but I have enough different guitars, amps, and effects that I bring different stuff to the gigs all the time.

Members yourguitarhero Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 No, I generally use the same gear all the time.I only have one amp and cab big enough for gigs, and only one guitar with a Floyd and use the whammy bar in a few of our songs. However, in a way it makes things consistent for the rest of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members squinty Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Horses for courses... I have a main gigging amp (62 Vibrolux) but do use different amps for different applications. Princetons= duo gigs / small bars / Studio at home. Vibrolux = any band gig Vox = out door / large stage generally with the Vibrolux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HKSblade1 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Same stuff. Tried switching to modeling gear (axefx) and ended up back with traditional amps. Just works better for me live. I am considering the Kemper thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DrakkarTyrannis Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I get stuck in my ways. Once I find what works I don't {censored} with it. Unless I find something that blows what I have out of the water, I stay put. I'm stuck on my current rig and I have no desire to change a thing.

In saying that, I have now sold my car so might find it difficult to get this to a gig: So plan on buying a Randall RM50 1x12" and using a clean module and a Grail (recto clone) in it. Or maybe buying a Thiele cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I use my Roadking 90% of the time with my band, but I play my Tone-Master at home almost exclusively. I've taken it to a few band practices lately, too, just for a little change and because our other guitarist digs it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dughaze Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I could take my favorite guitar, amp, and cab to everything there is and be happy except that the gigs are so small and cheap they are overkill so I usually just take cheaper and smaller gear because they are not worthy. It's my way of getting even with everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newholland Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 pretty much same ol' {censored}. i'm not sure if it's laziness or perfectionism of just trying to get the most out of what i have.. i dunno.. i like to play, more than i like the gear.

Members NinjaRaf Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 Same gear since May-ish. I dont like the hassle of change, so I try to just get something I think is perfect and stick with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members timmyfirst Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I cant afford to change out live rigs plus i need my tones to be consistent, i dont want exactly the same tones as i recorded but it has to be close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members James Clausen Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I have four rigs and use them all depending on the gig. I also change up components depending on the sound I'm feeling on the night of the gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hcprimerib Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I used to bring a different amp to nearly every show. But now I just have 1 live rig that I use. It's better in that I know what to expect from my rig at any show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Seano Porno Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I use different gear for different bands, a lot of it changes depending on how much space we have in transit and onstage in various venues. My band Last Under The Sun as example 1: Based around my two Telecasters as guitars, essencial pedals would be Whammy, TS9 or OCD as boost, EVH phase 90, a cheap (but nice sounding) analog delay, into my Roadking and a Recto Std cab. If we do a show where backline is provided (ie...we're a support band etc) then I've been known to bust out the JCA20H, or poss one of my JCM800s. Police Bastard: My SG's with that one, Dimebag Crybaby, TS9, Small Clone, Analog Delay, into the Roadking and Recto Std again. But as with LUTS, I've been known to bring an 800 instead when space is an issue. (The RK resides in an 8U/Head roadcase... rack is in development tho, so t's only really running a DTR2000 and a Sennheiser wireless. Jilted Generation: My Les Pauls for this, Into a Bad Monkey (my be swapping this to an SD1 soon), Pod XT Live (FX only) and into a JCM800/1960A Will most probably be switching the 1960A for my Recto Trad angled cab next year too....the Marshall is early 70's checkered, GB loaded, beaten up old relic which could do with not being thrown in and out of a van twice a week.

Members Cougar Hunter Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 pedals = change them weekly. amps = change them monthly guitars = change them yearly. By "change them", I just mean in/out of storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 ive got 3 decent guitars and 2 decent amps. i switch amps around every 2- 3 months and guitars every month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Norton666 Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 My main guitars havent changed in years and years and I dont imagine they ever will. Amps seem to change pretty often but I always end up right back where I started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Stonedtone Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I'm always switching it up. My 6 main electrics hang in my studio. I'm always grabbing different ones. I mainly use 3 of my amps. I've really skinnied down my effects use. Mostly just Barber Tone Press and OCD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nerine Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 The only things I am switching around at the minute is stompboxes. Hopefully my first fuzz should be arriving tomorrow. I change guitars the least frequently. Amps, I seem to buy one per year or thereabouts.. Sometimes I'll sell some on though. Can't see myself selling my JTM or 800 anytime soon though. They are working great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyprusg Posted December 28, 2011 Members Share Posted December 28, 2011 I change stuff up as much as my budget allows I guess. I have a Fender Deville 4x10 that's been my main amp for over 10 years but other than that I've switched between quite a few guitars (although most have been strats) and pedals. I want a Orange Rockerverb soooooo bad but I'd have to sell my Taylor 814ce to do it, and I'm not sure if I'm ready for that move yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
