I've always wanted one of those Tel-Rays. There was a Gibson variant on sale at Chicago's GC for YEARS and they finally sold it the day before I went back to give them an offer.
:(



It's the Gibson GA-4RE Reverb/Echo - tube driven, supposedly THE oil-can unit to have.

I've never been there, but yeah, big wheel would've been cool. The ladies dig the big wheel. I got competition stripes and flame decals. A SPOILER. and Nitrous boost.




Yeah, because the first one was a little incoherent and long winded, i decided to just not give a {censored}, because it's obvious you're some butthurt little {censored} because someone thinks your guitar is ugly.

 

 

 

Oh - BWAAHAAHAAHAA!!!!

what's on a geico sticker? If I find some cool cheesy stickers i'll put one on the back. I have a couple gay pride stickers i got off ebay for jock vandalism.

 

 

The sticker I'm talking about shows that Gecko playing a modified Tele, and wearing a Captain Caveman cape. Those stickers were a promotional item in family-sized bags of Cheetoh's this year.

it's funny, you remind me of this kid on another forum. all he did was what you're doing, cop out and laugh, like he was on some higher level.

 

get over yourself dude, if you're not going to bother responding intelligently, why being a dick about it? all i did was say i thought your guitar was ugly.

That thing is
clean
...


If you ever need repair info, there was a GeoCities site dedicated to the Tel-Ray oil cans - tons of great info there.



Thanks, I've checked the oil can sites before I found mine. Seems as though the oil was a big mystery to most until some of these sites popped up with good info.

My model has a "7199" preamp tube in it.

Some examples for those who haven't heard... (treblemakers are great too!)

BTW thats a nice Reverberocket as well, most people don't realize Fenders aren't the only vintage amps you can get killer surf tones from ;)

what the {censored} are you talking about? i've tried the entire time, but you're psycho ass decides to be a little {censored} every time i make another response. no doubt you'll say, "BWAHHAHAHAHAH!!!" again or something equally stupid. if you'll recall when i first posted i said you butchered a tele, then you told me what it was and i conceded that i had thought it was a fender that you gutted and didnt care that much, and you're stupid ass kept going about how you thought i was trying to "relic" my guitar.

^ Fail.

Eastwood Tokai Hummingbird, looks like an evil Mosrite

Danelectro Hodad, mosrite-esque shape as well


vintage Traynor "Evil Twin" YGL-3 Mark III with Eminence Swamp Thangs

vintage Traynor YGM-4 Studio Mate (needs some Webers soon) both have great reverb + trem


Ibanez FZ7 fuzz, I still have to put together kit for "Shin Ei Companion Fuzz" clone pedal

Fender Echo-Reverb "oil can" delay unit from the '60s, can't believe I found one in near mint condition for cheap...

Will you shut the {censored} up already?

 

Jesus H man, every thread I've read on this forum is you running your {censored}ing mouth and contributing NOTHING useful. Kid, you need to back away from the machine and go take a nap or something.

 

No wonder why so many good, helpful people left this forum. Jerkoff know-it-alls like you make this place {censored}. Congratulations.

The first song on my myspace is kind of a surf tune that i wrote for a theme song contest. I got that surf sound using a Strat with Lace Custom Shop Pickups into an Ayan Slim and Smooth into a Traynor YCV50 with a good dose of reverb.

Usually, I just plug a strat into my Blues Jr. for my Surfish tones, which are what i use a lot in all styles of music.

Can someone recap everything here? Well {censored}, I'll try...

 

Someone wanted input on getting a SURF sound (post #1)

 

Someone showed a pic of a Tele with alternate pickups (post #13)

 

Someone objected to the Tele (post #20)

 

Some other stuff happened and now 5 pages later we are kicking each other in the nuts and not even mentioning SURF guitar anymore.
