Does this sound like a solid rig plan?

budda · 04-14-2008, 02:27 PM

the C7 replacement options:

BAREBONES Carvin DC727 (white, pretty much no options, $1K). OR
Dean EVO 7, which would get a pickup upgrade.

Evilbay myself a Boss GT-8 for recording and headphone practise for the next school year. wont be able to get much use out of a halfstack lol, but it's being kept because i plan on joining/starting a band.

what do people think? I'm torn on a singlecut 7 close to my LP, or a barebones superstrat lol

The GT-8 will suit you well because you can also use it as an effects unit for your JSX.

Get the Dean if you can score one cheap. From the sounds of it you should be happier.

that's what im currently leaning towards to. and $1000+pickups vs 400+pickups..

an MFX unit is a definite because a) i can use it with headphones b) soo many tone opportunities w/ different amp sims c) can use just the fx with the jsx (no need to buy reverb/delay/phaser pedals) d) i can use it for recording.

EDIT: but im also debating just getting a nice 6 and tuning it down to B standard.. i blame the Rotor thread and knowing how good they feel and sound lol. 6 or 7 tossup

7 or your rig will always be an epic phail.

thedonutman · 04-14-2008, 05:11 PM

Potentially stupid question: Why are you replacing the C7?

budda · 04-14-2008, 05:59 PM

Just not getting along with the neck carve and the XJ frets. the scale length doesnt bother me at all, i just dont find the neck too comfy.

doesn't hurt that i make $30 over what i paid for it lol. its a nice guitar, just not quiiite the one for me. and i'm at the stage now where i have a pretty good idea of what i want, so i can go for it lol. i now know that i can, in fact, handle a 7-string LOL
