Members cratz2 Posted January 31, 2011 Members Share Posted January 31, 2011 Bought a Mission Amps 5e3 kit and I'm having someone build it for me since I have zero electronix skillz. GAS is killing me while I wait for the tube wizard (John Freed) to finish up! ;-)Current dilemma is what speaker to put it it when it's complete, how do you pick from a cast of hundreds??? :-( Weber Silver Bell... great all around speaker. I tried about 10 different speakers in my 5E3 and overall, for a combination of clean-ish tones, and gain tones AND bringing in just a hair of chime, I like the Alnico Silver Bell the most. I also really like the Weber Blue Dog and the Celestion Alnico Blue, but I am a Vox guy at heart. I also really liked the EVM 12L, but it almost doubles the weight of the amp. The 'standard' answer for the 5E3 is an Alnico Weber 12A125... then pick if you want it to be a little brighter than average or not and if you want earlier or later speaker breakup. I preferred the Silver Bell and Blue Dog largely because I like having a decent amount of bottom end. And I know there are folks that enjoy their Greenbacks and their G12H30s in the 5E3 amps, but they were not for me. They were my least favorites.

Members Beckman Posted January 31, 2011 Members Share Posted January 31, 2011 What am I not GASing for? That's the question. Mostly a new guitar. Most likely one of these: But, with the weather, it could change by the time my Feb. 11 checks comes. Possibly a new Celestion V30, some sort of high gain pedal, or Marshally sounding pedal (Crunch Box, Distortron, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Willyguitar Posted January 31, 2011 Members Share Posted January 31, 2011 Even though I hate them, I just can't help thinking about strats at the moment. They are just so annoyingly versatile and cool looking. Other than that, I could do with an apogee duet and an Ibanez Tubescreamer. A bassman reissue wouldn't go amiss either.

Members ChainsawCharlie Posted January 31, 2011 Members Share Posted January 31, 2011 My #1 gas problem is a PRS, but an Agile LP is more likely. New water heater has to come first though, then property taxes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Carbohydrates Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just an AC15, but due to recent circumstances, that may have to wait. All set on guitars, though. I've got the best guitars in the world already - in my opinion, anyway, and that's all that matters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members edremy Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 New hands. Apparently I have "stupid fingers" and they never seem to do what I want.

Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted February 1, 2011 Members Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm GASing for a Telecaster...that I like and can afford. I found one of those Squier Classic Vibe 50's models today but I was not impressed. It played ok...nothing to write home about but what really sucked was the bridge pup sounded like ass. Hardly any output at all and when the the switch was in the middle all you could really hear was the neck pup. Also when I first plugged it into an amp it started making this nasty hum until I wiggled the cord around the output jack. It seemed like there was a short in the jack somewere. I don't think it was the patch cord. Anyhow...the whole experienced sucked and I was quite disappointed since I had read some good things about this guitar. I guess I am going to start looking at the MIM Teles. I do really like the Roadworn series but they are about $500 over my budget... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
