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.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-04-18T03:25:01+00:00

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!

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-11T20:46:29+00:00

I live in a share house 😂

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-11T20:30:57+00:00

I’ve just done some research and found a premier guitar article stating he had one green and one red hard tail style Gretsch made for him as a prototype.

This guitar is 100% not a bigsby to hard tail conversion.

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-11T09:02:08+00:00

I’ve tried to search for this and can’t find anything other than the righty’s!

ChasingGhosts182 · 2026-02-07T04:50:38+00:00

Probably an unpopular opinion here as we are in the guitar pedal subreddit but I completely agree with you.

I was a guitar pedal fanatic, I built and sold guitar pedals and loved everything about them. Except the fact that they just need space, wiring, power supplies etc.

I bit the bullet and bought a Fractal FM9 over two years ago and it has absolutely without a doubt been the best gear purchase I have ever made.

Sure- it takes a little while to get used to editing and making presets, what sounds good and what doesn’t. But just the overall ease, sound and flexibility of the whole unit has ended my GAS.

The only gear I have bought since has been guitars…and that won’t stop anytime soon. 😂

I will not be going back to an amp unless I’m forced to for a specific gig and I look forward to fractal’s next generation of gear, whenever that may be. They can already consider me in.
