Members MrNixon Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 Anyone notice how 8 years ago, the mainstream gear topics were - PRS Guitars- 7 String guitars- Mesa amps- Keeley Compressor was THE secret weapon- Phaser/Flange on clean guitar- Ed Roman (lolll) Currently the big market is - Traditional styled electrics (Danos/Silvertones, newer Fenders, Gibsons)- Small-wattage tube amps (i doubt a majority of people were aware these existed in 2000's)- Delay/Echo of all types- Oddball anything whats the next trend? obviously the gear one uses directly affects the music they create... where does everyone see the correlation going? The Big bass drum sound of the 80's resulted in bigger drum sets for most bands back then, and U2/The Edge's DMM alone seemed to change the direction of the music industry (this is only one example in one genre). It seems like it takes just one person to open the door for everyone else the industry could swing any which way, with the development of unlimited-access post production software, and big popularity of music-mimicking games like GuitarHero/Rockband/Singstar amongst the kiddies could point the compass away from the boy-band-i-dont-play-i-only-sing chic that the late 90's graced us with.... so what d'you say? One-pickup guitars comin back at all? guitars w/monkey grips and 30 frets? Pocket-sized tube amps? Is the only cure for my fever more djembe?

Members SharkMinusBear Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 vox and telecasters will rule the airwaves for the next few years I don't understand.... telecasters (along with strats) have always been popular haven't they? The fact that they are popular here now is really just a continuation of a trend from the 50's... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrweems Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 I'd say more hollow bodies.Continuation of smaller combo amps as well as lower wattage amps. IMO the metal scene is done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members echodeluxe Posted April 13, 2008 Members Share Posted April 13, 2008 I'd say more hollow bodies. i agree. i have seen tons more bands with the es335 style guitars. the whole tele thing seems to be settling, and offsets are on the up obviously. that will eventually settle too, but not for a while.
