tomdude182 Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Hi guys Im in a british female fronted pop punk band called 'reachback'! mainly use fenders at the moment especially my fender cyclone. Was thinking about an sg special though! quite like that warmer gibson tone! also really like those teal flip flop sgs!!! we are looking to record our single soon so I thought this might be an excuse to buy a new guitar! Anyway check out my band song/video here http://redbullbedroomjam.com/band/videos/reachback-hands-hearts-down#comment-92215 and let me know what you think about using a gibson sg! Tom Reachback ps rate and comments us :) :P
cabba2203 Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Well, this being the SG section of the Gibson forums, obviously "YES", get yourself an SG!
SGSpecialguy Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 SG's are VERY cool looking and sounding guitars, VERY versatile too,, would be a VERY cool addition to you Fender sound too, I use both too,, get one !! I saw a punk band the other day, a guy was using a white standard that was cool as hell and sounded great !!
tomdude182 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 arrghh really want a blue teal flip flop sg!!! do you reckon it would complimemt my sound though?
sellen Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 Punk band with sg's kick ***. Save up a little more and buy a standard and you got a hardcase, and a bit hotter pickup.
tomdude182 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 was thinking about putting a gibson dirty fingers pickup in?
sellen Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 have you tried them? heard those buckers are kinda cold and harsh in a sg. i would have tried some vintage hot from BARE KNUCKLE PICKUPS. But for punk it's maybe cool with a cold and harsh sound[biggrin]
tomdude182 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 hhmmm we are pop punk though, i dont know, have you heard our song?
SGSpecialguy Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 arrghh really want a blue teal flip flop sg!!! do you reckon it would complimemt my sound though? go for it, if thats what you want ,, get it, you can tweak it to get any sound you want and I think it will compliment your sound and style too !!
SG dude Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 No offence to you man, but punk has really lost all meaning. Salvage something and go for it and stop caring what other people think! oh, and welcome to the forums.
tomdude182 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Posted May 23, 2010 haha thanks man! i guess we arent really punk! more pop-punk like blink182 etc!
Larsson Posted May 23, 2010 Posted May 23, 2010 hi, i currently play in a punk/rock/pop band and use a Gibson SG Standard along side my marshall stack, and let me tell you it sounds sweet! whatever tone you need the SG produces from jazz to heavy metal i can cover all of these genres with the SG... Try a few out and see what you think, i thought the standard felt better and prefered the 498t (if im correct) in the bridge rather than a 490. listened to your track as well sounds really sweet! The SG give a bit more bass and depth to your tone i think making it a bit more rounded.... If you ever want to make the trip down to berkshire i know a nice place to play in burnham,its called the Haymill centre and they have a event called Underground and Understated i have played there 3 times now and its a great venue ,even if it is a bit small, heres the facebook page if you want to check it out: http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=317954353299&ref=ts let us know what you choose, Larsson
