Tom 13811 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Somebody is selling a Billie Joe Armstrong Les Paul Jr locally and I'm sorely tempted to utterly obliterate the bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4183 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Ooo let's have a look! Love the squier, in between playing I took a great many photos this morning. So here they are. https://imgur.com/a/jiSEa My favourites; I think I may put a black pickguard on it so they match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13811 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yeh that would be good! Always nice to have a pair...even though they're at different ends of the scale. I'd bet you have just as much fun on the Squier! Here it is.....he wants £900 for it but I'm a little skint at the moment. They're quite rare though so it might be worth making the effort for.

Andrew 4183 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 That is pretty cool looking, it'd do my head in mind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13811 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yeh it's a one trick pony and you need to know how to do the trick Im going to make my mind up in the next few days. It's probably best to leave it but I'm a big green day fan and the guitar, case etc looks awesome. Plus it's not really going to be worth any less in a few years time or whatever.

That's the kicker, if you basically can't lose money on it then, assuming you can still put food on the table its perhaps worth a go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13811 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 I think I'd definitely have to sell a guitar or two but that's not the end of the world & it's as much about space as anything else. I can't remember the last time I counted tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4183 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Question for everyone, I think I know the answer but want a second opinion. If I turn up my current rig a bit the bass starts to get a bit mental, I think it's because the speaker is sat on the floor rather than being on a stand or raised up. Am I right?

Tom 13811 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 That LP appears to be sold and now I hate myself for hesitating . Ah well there'll be another some day. Hmm it's not really a problem I have...and generally my amps are on the floor apart from one that sits on its flightcase. Also it's hard to work out as I've never used a Helix + PA Set up. Technologic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's the difference, amp cabs are built to be on the floor generally whilst I don't think this is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13811 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Well I've decided I'm going to try and track one down eventually because I've wanted one since they were released. At the time I wasn't paying £1700 for one though - that was pretty offensive for a Green Day signature guitar at the time. £800-1000 seems fair. I'm sure you'll be able to get a decent tripod quite cheap or whatever PAs use. It might have something to do with the size of the speaker too!

I'm not of the mind that more expensive guitars have to have more features but a static tailpiece single P90 les paul should be nowhere near that.

Tom 13811 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Its a H90 apparently They're smart looking guitars & the case is awesome too. (Leopard print interior and for some reason the Warning! Logo on the outside of the guitar case but yeh that's a lot of money - especially for Green Day fans, who you (used to) assume will be relatively young. I was 22, I didn't have that much for a guitar! He was playing a Rock N Roll Relics LP JR for a while last year but I think Gibson took offence and just made him the same spec guitar.

Andrew 4183 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Fucking hell, just saw that Bonamassa is on in Manchester in a couple of weeks, had a look at ticket prices Between £77 and £110. Fuck that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13811 Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Yeh he's the same price in Gateshead. I've seen him four times with prices between £12 & £45. I might try and pick up a cheap one on the night but it's a seriously gross price. He's a phenomenal player but it strikes me as greedy. Scratch that - sold out with Tickets @ £104, £94, £84, £74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13811 Posted March 1, 2018 Author Share Posted March 1, 2018 I bought myself one of these I'm getting new couches in a few weeks so I'm going to try and declutter the living room. I've lost count of the guitars in the house but this can hold 8. So probably 6 guitars & 2 basses. (The rest will have to live upstairs) Im going to get a couple of ikea picture shelves to store guitar pedals and put them above it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
