Hello all,

Seems like a nice forum you guys have here, Ill try and keep my contributions valid and sober.

Been playing for a number of years and am currently studying guitar at college in edinburgh.

My favoured setup at the moment is my Ibanez S series through a beat-up old marshall combo with a zoom GFX5 thrown in for cheap laughs :)
 
Welcome Doomhauer!
Nice to have a Scottish player around! So the obvious question: What single malt whiskey do you prefer? I love Lagavullin & Ardbeg.
 
Woah! this place is busier than I thought.

I generally play alot of metal/industrial sort of stuff tho Im also a big fan of the blues and folkier acoustic musings.

@ Super-Swede, Ive been off the malts for a while now due to getting to the point where they were causing me to blackout in dubious places! these days I'll generally stick to the tried an tested Macallan, or sometimes a cheeky Balvenie or Laphroiag

I could imagine some very tasty sounds coming from that setup!:D
Welcome!

Welcome!

Do I detect a hint of sarcasm? seriously It may sound dubious but its a rig that has some awesome sounds!

doomhauer,
No, sir, not in the least! I played in a band for around 5 yrs. using a Marshall 50w tube combo, a Charvel Model 6, and an Art effects unit. And I was complimented many times on the sound I was getting. So...no sarcasm intended. That would be no way to welcome a new member, IMHO.
Glad you joined us, and looking forward to your posts!:D
 
Welcome to the growing international community that is TheFret! Great gear... I have an Ibanez myself. I look forward to picking your brain for any new ideas that you're learning at college!:D
 
Btw, doomhauer if you are serious about Ibanez guitars talk to Spud. He has like a million of them :)
 
Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Ai the Ibanez world of floating bridges is still quite new to me, but I do love the sounds It can produce even if the tuning capabilities are a little lacking :o

Been learning a mad amount of guitar at college tho currently much of the term is focusing on sweeps and legato so my hands are constantly in a bit of a state :D

How many guitar courses do you have?

First off, welcome.
Second, the S series rawks! (sound like a teenager huh?) I've got 3. The 470 is an amazing sounding guitar. I haven't played many other 470's but mine is one great sounding guitar...with the stock pickups. What model do you have?
 
Its an S520EX with the standard 2 INF pickups with the auto string tension deal on the back, it being my first Ibanez I'm still in love with the neck on it :D
