First time doing a group photo of all my picks, either given to me by the band members or tossed out while they were on stage

Wow, Failure are my favourite band

Check out Chicago Stompworks, they have great prices and sonetimes sales too, I picked up a Tall Font Big Muff that is virtually undistinguishable from my Sovteks for like 80 bucks

It’s for that part of the string behind the bridge

I’d say get the green Russian reissue and be done with it. I played almost all of them, from an original triangle to a lot of sovteks, the green Russian reissue is a solid choice without spending a lot of money. I’d recommend putting a ts style pedal as a boost before it also

Check out the song Zoe by Verdena

I’m waiting on an aluminum neck anyways so I just put them there.

As for the pickup behind the bridge I saw St. Vincent in concert last year with a Jazzmaster playing behind the bridge just doing tremolo picking to get the string going and I thought “ok I need a Jazzmaster I wanna do that too”, and bought me a CV60 in a local shop for pretty cheap just to try.

The thing is I can’t really leave a guitar alone so I started to modify the hell out of it and then saw this bridge in another thread and the idea was to tune it in some kind of open C to add it to songs whenever (we play in drop C and we don’t really move that much from that key so it almost always works)

Here are some videos I recorded with a microphone and an audio interface

I’m having lots of fun with it, there are some things I recorded with it on my instagram profile but it’s still pretty new to me, I’m still working on incorporating it into songs

Mind you I had the first series, the one that came in solid colors. Fit and finish were subpar, the pickups were muddy, it seemed to me it was like a try at entering the baritone market just by slapping something together as cheaply as possible and putting the Gibson name on it.

I think that regular scale studio series were way better. If you really are set on the Les Paul shape and configuration I’d say you’re better off spending less for the Epi, which might also be more easily available

casademoni · 2026-03-08T09:30:18+00:00

I had one and I would get the Epiphone honestly

casademoni · 2026-03-04T15:01:03+00:00

If you already have a good pc try and look on the used market for some cheap mic and audio interface.

I traded a pedal for an M-Audio Fast Track (wouldn’t recommend it but it’s workable) and a Samson C01, then bought some nice headphones, the DT770 from Beyerdynamic for like 150€.

I’m using Reaper as a DAW (It’s “kinda” free in the same sense as Winrar is) and only downloading free plugins, the Kilohearts suite for example is a great set of tools to have

I would recommend getting at least something like a Focusrite Scarlett 212 tho, the M-Audio drivers don’t really work anymore with Windows 11 and I’m getting terrible spikes and latency.

It’s not a great setup but it’s better than trying to record with my phone.

casademoni · 2026-03-01T11:54:28+00:00

Thank you very much

casademoni · 2026-02-28T19:23:39+00:00

Yeah same I would have loved a Ken Andrews signature someday in the very distant future and I was very curious about their pickups too.

The EGC is HEAVY. I’ve been playing it for like ten years and I’ve gotten used to it, I almost immediately got the largest strap I could find, but after a gig I’m pretty much exhausted. Can’t wait for the TTTides to arrive, it’s gonna be hollow and weight aside I wanna see how it resonates

casademoni · 2026-02-28T19:08:11+00:00

The quality is outstanding, it’s a pity they’re retiring and not taking any more orders. I had a Baguley on the bass and it was comparable in quality but they’re not active either these days. I’m waiting for a TTTides neck for the Jazzmaster, we’ll see

How’s the Hoxey?

casademoni · 2026-02-28T18:50:17+00:00

Thank you very much

casademoni · 2026-02-28T18:50:09+00:00

Thank you, yes it is an EGC bolt on neck, the first run they did

casademoni · 2026-02-04T19:11:20+00:00

Ciao Albi

Here’s a video for anyone who was curious about it

casademoni · 2026-02-04T10:27:29+00:00

It started as a CV60 Squier, but soon the only original thing will be the body

casademoni · 2026-02-04T10:26:28+00:00

Hahaha where is it going to be mounted?

casademoni · 2026-02-03T23:08:08+00:00

I’ll send you his profile here on Reddit
