I always though they were condoms. I always wonder why they were only sold in music stores. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Effects boxes that plugged right into the amp. I remember a guy that played a Flying V into three or four of them plugged into each other into his Marshall. That was a disaster waiting to happen. Electro Harmonix Linear Power Booster. LPB 1 plugged into yer amp, LPB 2 on the floor. Noisiest gottdam thing ever invented but man I loved my LPB 2s. Fender Rhodes. Steel milk crates, the original amp stand. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with you on the original ones, but they made guitars that looked like Les Paul and Telecaster models too. And these ain't too bad.

And these ain't too bad. For sure, those are not quite as ungainly as the first models they released. and that "Void" under the treble strings,,,.. just too much for my feeble brain. These you have it is not quite as pronounced as the earlier ones were. It seems to me that they added some "wood" in the bottom line of he head stock during the course of change for the body styles. but if YOU love em Notes, and they play and sound good, that's all that really counts. Not for me, but just my preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me, but just my preference. Yep, everybody has their preferences, and thankfully there are so many to choose from. Personally I think a Fender Strat looks better than these Strat-ish guitars, but I went for function over form Less than 5 lbs but sustains longer than my 8lb LTD-Les Paul-ish guitar Graph tech nut and bridge, Sperzel locking tuners, & straight string path makes them stay in tune better than my guitars that don't have a whammy Hardened stainless steel frets, I don't think I can wear them out Contoured and balanced body, when I take my hands off and put them back, it hasn't moved. It's more like wearing it than holding it 14" radius, 25.5" scale works for my hands One master volume and master tone, easy to adjust between notes while playing no matter what pickup(s) I'm using Piezo pickup under the bridge that I can blend in with the third knob to add more sparkle and twang to the tone But not wanting to hijack the thread, more gear that is no more Mellotron Synclavier Fairlight Roland Sound Brush floppy disk MIDI sequence player Floppy disks Electra guitars with Effects modules that plugged into the guitar iPods Insights and incites by Notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Ovation solid-body electric guitars. I really fancied owning either the Deacon or the Breadwinner. (I can't say that I ever learned the difference between the two models.) There are a lot of photos out there of Ace Frehley playing a white one, back in the pre-KISS and early KISS days.😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I did eventually own an Ovation (Celebrity, Kaman, MIJ) solid body electric bass. Bought it in a music store in Bad Kreuznach, Germany in 1990. Played it and loved it for many years. It was eventually stolen from my house in Hawaii in early 2001. Some burglar bastard made off with it, along with a cheap Epiphone strat-copy, and a bunch of other valuables (wrist watches, hand guns, a broadsword, etc). Stupid thief took the inexpensive guitars, and left my black Gibson Les Paul standing right there in the corner on its stand. Anyway, my Ovation Celebrity bass looked a lot like this one, only it was a deep, dark blue. Almost purple, it was. 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
