Members eeddings Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I have an old '85 (I think) Hondo Revival in candy apple red. It is awesome. These came factory with a set neck, Grover machinheads, a Kahler locking tremolo, rosewood fretboard, and some pretty hot pickups. Mine had EMGs put in it back in '91 or so, but it is still one of my favorite guitars to play. I swear it sounds better the older it gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Everyday pedals. My plain old Cry Baby Wah, perfect for me. Dano Daddy O: Had this pedal for years very versatile OD, good for an almost clean boost to heavy fuzz. Dyna Comp: Just a little works wonders on my tele for certain things, useless to me otherwise, can't justify a boutique compressor for what I use it for. My old Carvin DC100. Best made set neck guitar I've ever owned, and I've owned some pretty nice Gibsons. All hard rock maple, original M22 humbuckers, the whole thing is original. I've never even had to tweak the truss rod in 30 yrs. People rag on the pickups, claim the guitar is too bright, blah, blah. Yes is a bright guitar, can almost sound like a Tele clean on the back pickup, but put it on the front pickup and 100% tone and its dark enough to think it was a jazz box if you closed your eyes. ' alt='>'> Old Peavey Amps: Still got my early 70s Artist 240. A compact little heavyweight that will blow your doors off with a 12" Black Widow, 4 6L6 output tubes, 2 solid state preamps with good eq that you can switch or run in series. And it fits in the backseat of the smallest car. Oh, an banjos. I love banjos! ' alt='>'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GAS Man Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I like my Orange Crush PiX CR35LDX real well.But no one other than me ever seems to talk about them here. I got mine for a mere $164 shipped from HM (reg MAP is $249) .Paul here demos it, but screws up when he says 12" speaker. It's a 10" but sounds fairly big for a 10.

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 ^ I like those too. I demoed my Electromatic 5120 thru one when I bought it. Havn't got that tone since I brought the guitar home. I'm wanting a Tiny Terror badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JRicoC Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Rickenbacker 360-12. Any time you post something about one you get eight posts from people who don't like the neck, pickups, controls or something else ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sbeirnes Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I freakin' love US built Peavey guitars. I also love Transtube SS Peavey guitar amps. Used you can buy a full on pro level rig (guitar and amp) for under $500.My main giggling rig is a Peavey Firenza guitar and a Peavey Special 212 amp. I paid $250 for each. Both made in the USA and are top quality pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kit_strong Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hipshot tuners and bridges are another unpopular product I'm a big fan of. I've got 2 strats loaded with their us contour tremolo and 4 guitars with GLO locking tuners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both made in the USA and are top quality pieces. It blows my mind how under appreciated the Peavey stuff is. I was recently gifted a couple cheap basses and with it, a Peavey practice amp. Tiny little old bass amp. Turned out to have a killer old school bass tone (think 70's southern rock) that was super easy to record. I was going to pass it on to the first person I found starting to learn bass, but I think it will stick around for the recording stuff I do. Not a SS (though I have experience with some, and they are killer too), my 89-91 Classic 50 410 is such a good workhorse amp. I got it a year or so ago, and recently had it gone over and retubed. The thing is just killer. I'd have to spend a lot of money to get an amp as good or versatile as it. As big as it is, it is relatively light too, so that's a bonus. It is significantly lighter than my bud's Fender Deville 410. That same friend has a Peavey T60 that I have done some setup and repair work on. What a monster player.

Members Pine Apple Slim Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Anything that Peavey made in Mississippi. The old powered mixers and SP1 ans SP2s, the amps, throw um off a train and they'll still work perfectly. TXXs, a deadlier club tha Keefs Tele. Same for the basses, and they sound great.If you ever had any of that stuff and got rid of it you were foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
