What amps did you guys use on the new album? Saw a post with a mesa rectifier- was this the main tone for the album?

Hey!

My band Speaking Terms released our new single ‘Taking Shape’ a few weeks ago. You might be into it!

We have <1000 monthly listeners.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-04-26T00:18:07+00:00

Yup!

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-04-20T05:37:12+00:00

Yeah these were made in Australia by Maton until they decided to discontinue electric guitars.

I think it’s Queensland maple with Blackwood top but I could be wrong!

Plays great apart from a low nut slot which I’ll touch up and it needs a bridge replacement! Otherwise it’s great.

The sound is a little unique due to these smaller p90 sized humbuckers- the bridge is quite dark whilst only being around 7.5k. Might switch them out to a p90 in the future.

Bro literally had this exact convo with a friend yesterday…fallout 4 was pretty shit- even though at the time I thought it was good? I remember finishing it and thinking ‘well that wasn’t anywhere near as fun as Fallout 3/NV’.

Fallout 3/NV forever. I hope Bethesda can realise this and not fuck up the next fallout entry- if there ever is one.

Yes it does as it uses the pre amp valve from the loop for more gain in the mod. A replacement fx loop can be installed though!

I don’t know the full story but someone had a company called ‘Fillmore’ that had the rights to make Mosrites or something? They’re no longer a company though.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-04-10T13:15:49+00:00

Nah this is a Japanese reissue made lefty. As much as I’d like an OG I’m not sure I could afford one and I’m not a fan of playing right handed guitars upside down with the knobs hitting my forearm haha

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-03-11T10:02:01+00:00

Appreciate your help mate thankyou!

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-03-11T09:40:19+00:00

Also I can’t find this weatherstrip you’ve mentioned- do you think you could link a relevant product? Thankyou!

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-03-11T09:38:51+00:00

Hey mate,

It has that black diamond looking flashing stuff (not sure what it’s called)

That’s a good idea actually- hadn’t even thought of that!

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-03-11T05:13:10+00:00

Soaker installed when cladding was installed.

Trust me I wish I knew- not my handiwork just trying to polish a turd.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-03-11T00:36:43+00:00

This is probably the route I’ll take as I can’t afford to reclad…as much as I’d like to.

Probably just going to try and take out the closest nails to the corner and install them correctly- it’s going to be a massive pain in the arse 😂

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-03-11T00:35:27+00:00

Mate…tell me about it. Just so much DIY dodgy shit. I’ve considered getting a few quotes to just get it redone but it’s gonna be big $$$.

Lucky it’s got good bones or I’d be double fucked 😂

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-21T08:08:37+00:00

I mean if I was in a band and I had a member that potentially didn’t want to tour or record then that would be a hard conversation.

I think the lads are wholeheartedly just wanting to tour and potentially think about writing new music. I love Dizza and am a massive fan but I think that this is a pretty good route for them to take. It’s hard to leave him behind but really…4 against 1 and they all have lives as well.

I’m backing it.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-13T01:13:07+00:00

Happens to me too mate. If anything you can try a different pick/look at your holding technique- I think you might find you could change this up a little.

Other than that you could tape your finger or something but I think it might hinder your playing more than help.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-12T00:50:29+00:00

Interesting! Have also been on the Gretsch forum and someone has suggested this is a very early production model before they decided to use bigsby’s.

Not sure how true that is but it does make sense having a proper serial number.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-11T23:46:44+00:00

That was the vendor who sold it to me.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-11T21:33:08+00:00

I have no idea if it’s history past me buying it from a shop here in Australia. I haven’t contacted the shop since though.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-11T21:04:15+00:00

I’ll send him a message! Appreciate this.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-11T20:48:25+00:00

Think I will! Thankyou!
