Is anyone else completely happy with their gear and tone?

[strtdv]

I've been playing guitar for 8 years, and for probably the last 4-5 I've been really working at getting sounds that I'm happy with.

 

I have to say, I'm completely happy with the stuff I have right now and with the sounds I'm getting from it.

 

I've got 2 guitars (a Strat and a Tele), both with BareKnuckle pickups, 2 amps (a Laney Lionheart and a vintage Orange), and maybe 8 effects pedals. I can get fantastic cleans and drive sounds.

 

I really don't feel the need to buy anything more.

 

I've tried adding a Les Paul to the collection (twice actually), but I sold them because they just didn't fit in and I couldn't bond with them.

 

 

 

Anyone else here completely satisfied with what they have and the sounds they're getting?

[RaVenCAD]

My gear consists of the following:

Carvin DC127
Carvin CT4
Charvel 375
Washburn acoustic
POD X3

and I couldn't be happier..

[Engl Kramer]

Nevah!!

[Ferdinandstrat]

Well, I am happier now than before.

[Faber]

Yes - or rather one of them at any given time. Between 7 guitars, 4 amps and a host of pedals I can mix and match to find something I like. Do I like the same combinations all the time? Hell no.

[stevenjuel]

after i get one more guitar and i new amp (now sure what one) i think i will be very happy. oh and i want like 5 pedals. i need a wah, delay, phaser, and an amazing fuzz pedal.

[Les Paul Lover]

Mostly happy.

 

Strat + LP and orange rockerverb 50. Loads of loveliness out of those.

 

Still could do with an es 335 and perhaps a P90 based guitar.

[lefchr]

I am, but I would like to add a tele and a p90 guitar to the mix. there is nothing I would get rid of to fund those though.

[jamdogg]

for me the tone is like the playing - always looking to improve both. but i'm happy with it.

[csm]

Actually ... I am -- at least in terms of what I need in order to work with my current band(s).

 

My playing is another matter.

What is it today...Tuesday? Then yeah, I'm happy with my gear today.

[sonda01]

i am completely happy with my tone.

but i want to be able to create more tones that i am also completely happy with. this means i.. must... get... sg.....

[Willyguitar]

As far as guitars go yes, but I am on a constant quest to mess around with things with boxes, and amps or amp tweaks.

Tele
Les Paul Junior
Occasional user of a regular Les
Most importantly, electro acoustic.

AC30 seems to be my bag, occasionally use of Fender DRRI, although I am REALLY hankering after a Bassman... especially as the singer I occasionaly play with wants to do some Stones covers... could be an excuse to get one.

[bluesnapper]

I'm completely happy with the sound of each of my guitars plugged into my amp. But there are plenty more sounds I could be getting if I bought more guitars and more amps.

I'm still learning how to get the same tone I get live reproduced when recording though - with trial and error I'm getting better but I could do with a top-end mic to sit in front of my amp

[strtdv]

Sometimes I'll start to play and just won't be happy with how anything sounds, but that is usually the indicator that either strings or tubes need to be replaced and then all is well again.

 

 

I'd like to try out some kind of harmoniser like a HOG, or a POG or a Pitchfactor, and I'd also like an old Rat, but as far as what I have is concerned, it's all staying put.

[uitar9]

Line 6 has helped me stop buying {censored} before I try it out and make it virtually.

 

Hagstrom Viking into a POD XTL into a Mesa 5:25 sounds fine to me right now

[soundcreation]

Actually ... I am -- at least in terms of what I need in order to work with my current band(s). My playing is another matter.

 

 

lol...no doubt...I don't think I'll ever be happy with my playing!

[Padrino]

yep, i have everything i could possibly want to get the sound i like. that being said, if i see a sexy guitar, the GAS in me just comes straight out.

[BlueSteam]

Yeah, I'm happy with what I've got. I had been missing some single coil snap, but I just got an SG Classic to remedy that. My 2 other electrics, acoustic, bass, 2 amps and 5 pedals are just what I've always wanted though... I can't think of much else I want... well, except some cables to run a stereo setup.

[Frets99]

My tonez is damn hebbinly!!

 

 

Peavey Prowler

Fender Champ 600

[SnoMan97]

After a few years of buying, selling and trading all types of amps and guitars, I am down to one guitar & one amp. I have a CIJ Jerry Donahue Tele and a Vox Pathfinder 15R. I don't play out so it is the perfect setup for me. The amp is simple and needs almost no tweaking once it's set. It has great tone for a SS amp with an 8 inch speaker. The Tele is great too. The neck is a perfect fit for my hand and it sounds awesome with the stock pickups. Very happy with this combo. All I would like now is a decent acoustic.

[Scott Abene]

This is one of those questions that really is hard to answer some days...


I love the way my guitars are set up 99% of the time.

I love the way that my amps sound 99% of the time.

Whether I play through my gear or someone else's gear I sound tone wise like well.. Me...

I am a firm believer that Tone lives in your fingers and not in your gear so practice makes for better tone and because of that I am never completely happy but I have this sound in my head that I am always working towards

No. But i only have a epi les paul with p90's and a blackstar HT-5. My search has only begun. BTW which BK's do you have in the strat?

[maltomario]

My gear consists of the following: Carvin DC127 Carvin CT4 Charvel 375 Washburn acoustic POD X3 and I couldn't be happier..

horse{censored}! Your washburn needs a floyd! then you could be happier.

[DaveAronow]

Yup.

 

I am able to regularly and consistantly get hundreds of tones that I like, on various multiple instruments, and I LOVE the fact that I can easily find a use for ALL of them, especially during recording. The only thing I could NEVER be happy with is only ONE particular tone. I love them all and consider them like paints as an artist would for painting. It would be a pretty boring painting if all you had was a white canvas and only one other color.

 

I want ALL the colors available to me, even ones some would consider aweful and useless, because the art of it is putting it in the right context. There are uses for all of them.

 

So most definitely, yes I am very happy.

 

The only thing I could ask for is even MOAR TOANZ!!!

 

I want them ALL!!
