AxlisOld Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 Save the hundred bucks and get a normal standard. There's no point in getting a guitar with a dumb finish just because a guitarist in an overrated (yes, U2 is way overrated) band says so. The standard will give you just as good a playing experience as that; but if you're set on spending $599 the go on eBay and get either a Burny, Greco, or Tokai copy. All of which wil trump an Epi, and give yo a pretty fucking hard run on a Gibby. Hope I helped in saving some money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bass71player Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 i dunno, i try to stay away from really loud graphics like that... it could get old real fast. my opinion on gibson is very clearly laid out in the thread in the news section about finck buying a 58 reissue or w/e for that kinda money have you ever considered a PRS SE? they're the import PRS's and they're surprisingly great guitars.today's the first time i've really posted in this section, so i know you guys are gonna think i'm spamming, but i just really love the store i work for. like the guy in the beginner bass thread, i'll send you a link to my store's site if you're interested. PM me if you are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me if you are.I don't like the feel, it's like a .50 calibur revolver 7 shot,to a 7 shot .50 cal desert eaglethier both high quality, but i hate the feel, it feels, wrong,I'm going to sound like an idiot, but there's a certain feel, a certain power there's many things, there's a certain level of ultra-comfort and want,for example, i went to a gibson facory, and asked the difference between a 50's and now style neck, the manager did something i'll never forget,he walked over, handed me the most powerful 50's style les paul in a display case, then handed me a black beautyi held the 2, and only then i understood,i really can't explain it, but it's a powerful feeling,that it made me quit a district jazz rehearsal, that i would've got, because my aria custom was broken and my other guitars didn't feel right,it's soooo, intresting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axlslash Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Does anybody here think maybe he wanted to pay the extra $$ to be a good person and help the Music Rising organization? Who cares what band Edge is in. Who the fuck cares who sponsors the guitar. The extra money goes to a great cause, and if he wants to support Music Rising, LET HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!! I for one would rather get an Epiphone guitar and help the rebuilding effort than get a Gibson and help the CEO of a guitar company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
