Members OverDriven Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 I've always wanted a Tele and I've been seriously thinking about pulling the trigger on one lately. I'm just wondering how they mesh with a 6505+. Will this cause a paradox and rip a hole in the space-time continuum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sahlomonic Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 For what it's worth, I had a Squire Tele' for a few weeks that I ran through my 6505+ when my band played a hard rock cover of Garth Brooks's "Rodeo". Cheapo wiring and pups made me sell it rather quick, but I don't believe you'd have a bad experience with a good Tele' through a 6505+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members thesinner66 Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'd do it. I have a tele w/ a lil 59 in it and have ran it into Mesa stuff. But I've also had other stock Telecasters and used them as well. It's not going to be a chugging metal monster but look at bands like the Unsane who use an American Tele into a high gain amp. {censored} sounds sick!

Members scratchie Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 I bet you could take a Peavey 6505 + an American Standard Telecaster, no pedals no effects & make a heap badarse punk rig/blues rig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members satannica Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 I had a Fender MIM tele for a while. Sounded just fine to me, just tame the highs back a bit. I prefer the strat with the 6505+ though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members metalguy Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 I guess technically I'm pretty close. Tele into a XXX. Granted the Tele has SD pearly gates and '59 and is set neck. As well as XXX instead of 6505. Barring those differences though I freaking love it. FWIW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dolf Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 It works just fine (although I always found peaveys to be very partial to buckers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members peavey_impact Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'd go with a rail bucker/noiseless pickups, especially if you play with any serious volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members superflyinmonke Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 There's a relic'd G&L ASAT in butterscotch that I've got eyes on. It's on sale too. I don't need another guitar, but I don't have any with single coils... Oh, and I'd rock the {censored} out of a 6505+ with a Tele. Jari from Wintersun uses one, but he's got EMGs in it.

Members Say Ocean Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 I bet it would be awesome. Tele's into Marshalls are awesome, teles into rectos are awesome. Teles into 6505s probably awesome too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OverDriven Posted June 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 Thanks guys. I'm planning on playing in a new band with this...style is going to be experimental mixed with post-hardcore and some ambient elements. My EC-1000 has been my workhorse for a long time, but I don't think it can do exactly what I want for this band. I'll be using the 6505+'s rhythm and crunch channels a lot, and only really going to the lead channel for solo/lead work here and there. The sound I'm looking for is big and jangly with a good amount of grind when I need it. So that brings me to the next question...which model of Tele would be the best? There's a lot to choose from. I would like to keep it under $1000 if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members isvoid Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 a squire with a good neck tricked out with bare knuckles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members peavey_impact Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 ^ I got to jam on a Squire Classic Vibe 50's tele through a Bogner Metropolis for a good while.....it was a surprisingly kick ass guitar. Definitely worth looking in to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OverDriven Posted June 22, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 I know I'm being a snob here, but I think I want a real Fender. Don't you think a MIM Tele for $499 would be better than a Squier anyways? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think a MIM Tele for $499 would be better than a Squier anyways? Depends on the squier. IMO some of the Classic Vibe and Vintage moddeds have a more "tele" twang than the MIM's, which have a bit darker pickups, IMO. That said, I really, really dig the janglies through my 6505+. Bridge single coils on Teles and Strats sound killer through a medium driven crunch channel. Roll back the volume and get enough chime and clang with the dirt, and I don't know who would choose a "clean" clean over that. Soooo nice.

I've never played one that was as good as the Squier CV I mentioned. I felt it was on par with a MIA standard tele, cept it had a slimmer neck. IMO. YMMV.

Don't you think a MIM Tele for $499 would be better than a Squier anyways? I dunno. I went in to samash one day looking at teles, and started playing with them, and I was really shocked at how nicely the 180 dollar squier tele played. I didnt really notice much difference between it and the upper models, as far as playability....sound wise, however, is another story lol....not that it sounded bad, but the others were certainly better.

Members Weathered Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 Tele into a highgainer is always tits. As far as suggestions, I would look at a used Hwy 1/Amer Std. if I were in your shoes - the fit and finish of the American stuff is pretty good. Otherwise, the Fender Player's stuff (upgraded MIM) is OK, but I prefer the satin neck of the later 00's American stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thesinner66 Posted June 22, 2011 Members Share Posted June 22, 2011 Here's one I'd recommend. Put in a lil 59 or whatever tele sc sized HB in the bridge and a coil tap. Then you'll have Tele looks, a heavy sounding bridge pu as well as some in between Strat sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put a hot, thick sounding single coil in there (Duncan Broadcaster would be a good one) and hit the strings hard - lots of midrange grind.

Both are amazing Also, SCs plus a 6505+ is tits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
