Hey, intro and rig pics 👍 Tekbow welcomes all!

[Alex Kenivel]

Man, I want to play one of those Kotzen Tele’s so bad. I’ve yet to see one in person.

My local GC had one for years - even when it moved locations and changed store managers a few times. People always picked it up and played it - apparent from all the damage it took. The feel of the neck at first felt cartoonishly huge but it's one of the most comfy necks to play on.

Someone must have bought it because I haven't seen it in a while. I hope they got a deal on it because it was thrashed.

Great guitar. Massive neck profile. Rivals a 50's Gibson profile when it come to the girth and chunkiness.

Not really a Tele to me, though. Which is probably a great thing for some.

I believe he has a sig Strat, too, but I have not owned/played one. Ritchie is a BEAST!

I’m just seeing it now, which is funny because if I saw it Thursday when you posted it, I probably would have turned my nose up at the idea of a big neck profile, but after getting that Strat I’m even more interested in trying a Kotzen.

Not all but most of it.

Dude everything about this is fucking sexual as hell


Epic rig(s)

 

[pipelineaudio]

How are you tilting that 4x12????

 

[HotRats]

Welcome and that Bacchus is beautiful!

 

[tekbow]

How are you tilting that 4x12????

It's actually a oversized 212 that I converted from a Soldano Combo cab, believe it or not. It's about 2 inches short of being a 412.

The Stand (not the one in this pic) is an Onstage RS7500.

Tilt-Back Tripod Amp Stand

Our RS7500 Tilt-Back Tripod Amp Stand's heavy-duty tripod base adjusts to accommodate various sizes of amps and features five tilt positions that enable you to dial in optimal speaker projection while reducing floor reflections. An integrated threaded lug provides support for mounting a mic...

Its solid. I had the head & cab on it at one point before I got the shelving

A couple of configs of my main rig(s):









There are about 6 guitars that I rotate, so I won't bore you with those.

 

[Devin]

I'll join the club; here's my main rig (though I mainly play a different guitar; just put the Burny in here to enhance the sexiness)

Not pictured are a ton of guitars, Peavey VTM60, 5150 2x12 combo, VVT Simo-Plex, pedals etc.

I split my time between two places; my couch and my studio.

Living room rig-

And the studio-

It’s small, but I’m able to get everything done by swiveling in the studio chair. All the guitars/basses are to my left so it’s just a matter of grabbing what I need and plugging in. There’s a vocal mic off to the side and I usually just track vocals sitting down right there.

 

[DrewJD82]

Also, seeing these Greco’s and Burney’s are making me reallllly want to go look on Reverb right now. I’d be just as fine with an Edwards!

I see your priorities (gear in the kitchen) are in perfect order

Any player with a Rockmaster pre, and rack gear in general, is a friend of mine

@Devin with the subtle red coily flex

That's my fave cable I've ever owned (Lava Retrocoil) - I bought it just because it looks cool but it turns out it's super durable and the best part is I can just stuff it randomly in to a bag/case and it never tangles like a normal cable.

This is not a joke; I spent just as much on Uber Eats in the last 12 months as I did gear…..and I bought more gear in the last year than I have in the last 28. I cooked professionally for over 20 years, plus did all the cooking in my marriage, by the time that ended, I was DONE with cooking. I’m slowing forcing myself to do more of it just so I can buy more gear because $7K in Uber Eats is f*cking disgraceful.

Just to clarify, when I started the thread, I was just doing it as my own intro thread.

However I endorse this apparent move to a general intro and rig pics thread

Those candles! I love your alter to the "dark one".
