This is the new trend. NEW ACQUISITIONS ***Trashed's Gear***

L

Here is the full rig at the moment. This is used for mainly recording and in the garage lol. There is no way in hell i would carry two 4x12"s to a gig. Orange Rockerverb 50 mk1 for dirt and a Rivera Knucklehead for cleans.

The Orange is being pushed by either a MI Audio Blues Pro or Ibanez Bottom Booster, with the Clyde in front of that. out of the loop is a pair of Malekko delays, one EKKO loFi and the other is the standard EKKO 616.

The Rivera is through a Pigtronix philosopher's king out front, and in the loop a CMATMODS Phaser, a CMATMODS Chorus, and a CMATMODS delay.


New guitar number one: It is a Hofner Verythin. 335 based semi-hollow with a solid center block. The pickups are fantastic, solid German made hardware, so no complaints there, fit and finish flawless, perfect binding details etc. The grain on the wood is freaking sweet, front and back,this is so comfortable to play and I love it.



Rediscovered Guitar #1 I havwe had it for a few years, just didn't use it. This is a  Sublime Chieftain Semi-Hollow, laminated center block. The brand is associated with Crush Drums. A friend of a friend has some part of vested interest. The best thing i have to say is the plays great. The pickups are the downside IMO. Acoustically louder than most semi's. I must say i really like the headstock shape. Sweet guitar.

  1. You know, I've never really liked blue guitars all that much, but I gotta say that Hofner is gorgeous.

    1. thanks! she is a looker for sure. she plays even better than she looks!

      but tear i have owned probably around 100 guitars and i think other than these semi's, i have only owned two other blue guitars and both were strats, i have one blue strat now and i had one a few years ago. solid blue doesn't look good to me nor does a gaudy over done PRS flame shit. I like it on the hofner more than the sublime, but the sublime does make it work. its a guitar guitar basis.
