the model number on it is S-200MMB, as far as i know it is from the late 80's or early 90's back when Ephiphone was making strat copies. For what i paid for it it plays quite well, and the dual humbucker setup isn't that common. |

As far as i know they are stock, they seem to be aged about the same as the guitar, but i bought it used so im not 100% sure |

Haha RA, I though the same xD. Anyway, that cabinet have 70 watts and that head have sure enough kicks to that, I like the sound of it so if set a look aside I think with these I easily cut over drums so these fit quite good for even a small pub gigs...
I tested it in home and when turned volume knob to clock nine, it was as loud I think Im goin to need earplugs... Anyway, gotta start to save money, but those cabinets are so friggin expensive. I think if I plan to 2x12, but dunno yet.
One thing was quite interesting. When it came and I tested it, it was noisy and crap sounding. Much of hissing and stuff. With the amp there came two cables for the speaker and guitar plug. I changed the guitar cable and everything was perfect... so they sell cool amps and with these they send cables that are so crap that only use is tie something up with them. Better if they didnt send any cables.
Cheers! |

Wow, awsome collection Emp! Why does everyone have more gear then me?Although, yeah I'd say you need a new cabinet...at least I have a cabinet. Thanks, that pic made me feel a little better about my limited musical gear. |

Hehe, thanks Heather.. glad that you feel better xD. BUT, did you ever tried to put 4x12 cabinet to a backseat of Toyota with 2 doors?...
that cabinet is maybe small, but it sound good and its easy to move and with 70 watts it have enough power because im not yet in stadium size concerts xD...for example Laney 4x12 cabinet weights 32 kilos... but Im pretty sure that more you eat, more the hunger grows, so I think I buy new cabinet in the future... |

@Empireism, haha! I can just imagine you trying to shove that in one of those little Toyotas!
Although I should mention...my cabinet is pretty useless! I've never even got to use it. It's some sort of big fat Crate, I think it's called something like a V-Series. I stick to accoustics...especially since I don't even have an electric. My brother just randomly gave me it when he gave up playing bass. I don't know what to do with it! I actually just stuck in my garage loft.
None the less, I shall continue to show off that I have a cabinate...makes me proud all the same. |

You need an electric or and Amp Head to get it to use.
Is it this one?
if you have no use for it, try to sell it... I think you can have even 120$ of it... and use that one for new acoustic or singing gears forexample :) |

That's probably my next. I'm gonna sell the Les Paul. It just doesn't work for me. Plus I've fallen in love with the Floyds. |

this is what i have, its been great but i want something more, i mean a 300-400 dollar guitar can only take you so far before you need something better

Go on Schecter's site and find dealer locations dude. Hellraisers are sweet but It just seems like that what a lot of metal guys play so I'm playing dean. The Jackson will only be for Drop D. |

The local shop where i live actually sells Schecter and they have several models in the store. Visually the guitars are spectacular and ive heard rather positive remarks about the sound you can get from them, but ive always kinda been too afraid to try one out..i won't touch anything i cant afford to buy just to be safe. |

the only guy i know who uses them is Jeff Loomis, and Syn. Gates, but hes not that good. and i know tons of people who use deans... or did u mean u use deans cuz thats what alot of dean players use?
yeah actually i think there is a place pretty near, but im gonna save up so i dont have to decline to buy, which can be awkward lol |

No, I meant metal players overall. Like underground and people who aren't in bands yet. |

Well don't forget its all about personal preference too. Find the guitar that you like to play and play well on, not just one that looks cool. While aestetics are great playability is really what your paying for, and for every person the right guitar is a little different. |

Actually I've wanted an ML and a V before I ever even started playing guitar. It's weird, I once had printed out pictures of a couple guitars and there was an ML [my exact one] and a Jackson V [the exact one I'm selling the LP for]. Like destiny or something. lol. |

Ah, SELL IT! Gosh I should've thought of that! I feel a little daft now. Great idea! And yeah that's the one I have. Can't wait to get something useful to replace it. Thanks for the heads up Emp!
@Ollie, woah that's a great collection! No definately get another great real guitar to put in that hanger. A fraud from guitar hero would be a crime against your wonderful display! (Don't tell your son I said that!) |
