super combinator Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 Skip-san I love the 2 big red knobs & the little itsy bitsy one too, looks like yr having a ball!!!!
dvuksanovich Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 If I remember correctly the actual color of the knobs (which the picture may have altered slightly) was hot pink. I think Ibanez was kind of doing a "Jem-lite" thing with some of the RGs at that time and neon green, yellow and pink were the three colors (besides black) of the Jem. Sweet guitar.
skipclone 1 Posted March 10, 2011 Author Posted March 10, 2011 Yes the control knobs are hot pink-I got one of the first `lifetime guarantee` cables from Team, in hot pink, to go with it. that was a fun guitar, if I hadn`t picked up my Charvel later it would have been an alternate choice. Hey SC-I am going to be attending the amazing Japan Music Instrument Fair this year-it is a total must-see event. Let me know if you`re available, it would be fun to meet up: http://www.musicfair.jp/ Same old surprises, brand new cliches- Skipsounds on Soundclick: www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandid=602491

skipclone 1 Posted March 11, 2011 Author Posted March 11, 2011 There is a natural symmetry between having an Ibanez of that species and a Charvel. One or the other or both would be as surprising as breakfast. I remember mentioning it a long time ago, but this guitar was not mine-the drummer in our band had a connection to a music store and it was literally handed to me right off the shelf for about six months.

Caevan O'Shite Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 If I recall corrrectly I was `amp-challenged` at the time-probably something along the lines of a Roland JC. Ouch, I feel for ya, man! (I kinda sorta, oh, HATE Roland JC amps... ) I feel slightly "`amp-challenged`" with my Carvin Vintage 33, and it's MARVELOUS compared to the awful feel and tone of those Roland JC's!! (Now, as SS amps go, the Roland Blues Cube series is actually pretty nice... ) Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _

Take care, grant Hey SC- Good to hear from you, yeah it was bad, if I hadn`t taken my bicycle to work I would have had the same transportation nightmare. My coworker had to walk for an hour to get home. Another friend was at the Kirin brewery in Yokohama, he got trapped there overnight-and they wouldn`t let him drink any beer, even if he bought it outside. The situation is still developing, I hope you stay out of the mess. Same old surprises, brand new cliches- Skipsounds on Soundclick: www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandid=602491

(Now, as SS amps go, the Roland Blues Cube series is actually pretty nice... ) Ya, I am pretty happy with my guitars, even if I don`t have most of them with me. The `next phase` for me, especially for live stuff, is getting my amp situation sorted. The fact of moving around, and having limited space, has kept that from getting the attention it deserves.

Caevan O'Shite Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 "The `next phase` for me, especially for live stuff, is getting my amp situation sorted. The fact of moving around, and having limited space, has kept that from getting the attention it deserves." Y'know, a good digital-modeler, with some good full-sized/circumnaural headphones, and some good pedals, could be just the good thing for your good guitars in small places and frequent mobilization. And that could even work surprisingly well "live", if connected to a good PA; Good Stuff could result... "Another friend was at the Kirin brewery in Yokohama, he got trapped there overnight-and they wouldn`t let him drink any beer, even if he bought it outside. The situation is still developing..."

Griffinator Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Ironically, as my S-series looks way more classic than that one, it is exactly that style Ibey I try to keep in the forefront of my mind every time my band rehearses "Cult of Personality" - in the faint hope that I might just channel Vern for a minute or two, despite my axe not looking near as gay as his did... :D A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.

Caevan O'Shite Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Naaa, Vern's ESPs (and later Hamers) were and are cool. Certainly cooler than some of the things that Zak Wylde has turned up with!

Griffinator Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Was he not playing ESP for a while? Yes, as I just discovered, the one in the CoP video is an ESP, not an Ibanez, as I had always assumed. So much for me channeling him that way A bunch of loud, obnoxious music I USED to make with friends.
Caevan O'Shite Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 D'oh! That's right, ESP's... Hamers came later... will edit and correct last post... Ask yourself- What Would Ren and Stimpy Do? ~ Caevan James-Michael Miller-O'Shite ~ _ ___ _ Leprechaun, Esquire _ ___ _
