  2. Wow Jeff, great purchase...vintage indeed

    After you tackle Surrender, rock out on some Robert Randolph for me

    I know its only 100 or so more but thats making or breaking the budget of a poor college student, working only for the summer to fund merchandise and a Lollapalooza ticket, not to mention saving money to be able to spend at school next year

    I won't be able to play enough in the next 3 years to justify going all out on a nicer amp. When I have a real job, and will be able to finance such a purchase, I can "solidify" my gear and settle in with things I'd like. But right now it's worth having something smaller and a tad cheaper to be able to play the bit that I can on.


    Go for the ZT. The ZT sounds almost as good as tube amp in most respects, and it's probably better than the Fender Solid state you have. Plus, once you do start growing into better gear, the ZT will still be good enough to hang around with the big boys. I love my ZT, i'll probably never sell it.
  4. Good to see edge is using his red rickenbacker again! On EBTTRT in Argentina! I like the wooden one he is using on MW, but the sunburst is just B-E-A-UTIFUL
  5. Fireglo Rickenbacker >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wood finish Rickenbacker

    It's thousands better looking

  6. Concur x 1000. If they weren't going £1500+ brand new, I'd be getting one tomorrow. In theory anyway...
  7. Just want to say that I love my fireglo

  10. Lmao Matt. Fair point fair point...

    But seriously, if you guys have the money I highly recommend this axe. Mine is a 6 sting, not a 12 (like Edge's). It honestly sounds great playing everything, it plays really well, and it's probably my favourite guitar. It has such a unique sound and look, there's really nothing else like it.

    Not trying to rub it in, just saying, if you guys see one for a good price and you have the means, I suggest trying it out. You can always sell it back if you don't like it too.
  11. Looks like an axe that would look great with some natural wear on the top (where the red is really red), just barely worn, showing the wood...Would love a vintage-looking model of this one. Alex, yours is a beauty in all honesty.

    And does that mean that Edge plays EBTTRT on 12 strings?
  12. Yep, Edge's Rickenbacker(s) is/are 12 strings. Doesn't sound like it, though.
