Hello! Any guitar players here?

webe123 · #1 06-18-2007, 04:04 PM

This is my first time posting here so I thought since I am a guitar player for an apostolic church, I would post my hellos here with fellow musicians and singers.

I have been in the UPCI for about 26 years...(since 1981) when I first recived the Holy Ghost and was Baptised in Jesus Name!

My current church is the Pentecostals of Peoria which I have attended for 7 years. http://www.pentecostalsofpeoria.com/ (Bro. James Lashley is my Bishop and his son Jeff Lashley is my pastor) Before that I attended a pentecostal UPC church in Jackson, Tenn. under Bro. Tom Clark.

I am involved in the music ministry at my current churrch and play guitars and also sing.

Just wanted to give a big shout out to my musical brothers and sisters!

For the guitar players here: this is my setup....

My amp (a line 6 vetta II modeling amp with built in effects and large floorboard)

My guitars onstage at church (I put them all through a small rolls mixer then into the amp and out to the PA system left to right 1. Prs mcarty Soapbar 2. Fender 57 re-issue stratocater 3. Brian Moore guitar with MIDI (I use this exclusively for MIDI guitar when I want to play strings, flutes, horns or anything that is not a guitar sound) 4. Taylor 312CE Accoustic guitar

I also have a small Boss AD3 accoustic pedal I use with the Taylor for chorus sounds.(seen in lower left)

My MIDI guitar pedalboard Roland GR-33 (this is what I use with my Brian Moore guitar to get strings, horns.etc.)

Note: I use all of this in service to God...I have never played in a Bar or nightclub and never will! I have always played in church since I got the Holy Ghost and the instruments you see are because I am single and have built them up over the years. I am in no way rich! HA! HA!

Anyway, that is what I use when I play at my church.

Nice set up!!!!!!

I only have two guitars at the time.

A Marting DCME 6string and a Takamine GS 12 string. I lead worship many times when our worship leader was out of town. I play with the worship band occasionally and play for specials once in a while as well. We have a cordless belt pack which connects directly into our Mackie sound board. The electric guitars are amped and mic'd.

I've got the smaller line 6 amp.

Two guitars, a Teluride Hastings special acoustic that I've worked over, and a Fender Strat. Got a Fender bass, a Mandoline, and a Deering Goodtime Two Banjo, and one fiddle... that's my string line up...

Which amp you have..... the line 6 spider series or the flextone series?

I had a flextone III (2x12 speakers)(Yes they have THREE different versions of the flextone and spider series and TWO versions of the vetta they made) ,but then I sold the flextone III to our church and it is now a church guitar amp.

The reason I like the Vetta II so much is because it has a "two amps at once feature" ...meaning you can take a modeled fender 65 twin reverb sound (for example) and have that comming out of one speaker and then combine it with a marshall amp (for example) and put it through the other speaker and have both sounds coming out at the same time! Gets some neat sounds that way. Plus all of my effects are onboard the amp...so I do not have to connect pedals anymore. And the flextone and vetta has a master control knob that lets you SEPERATE the amp signal from the signal sent to the PA...which menas I can turn my amp up or down and not affect the volume the PA gets at all.

And yeah, I have a fender strat also....that is something I tried to get along without when I got my PRS, but I found I needed it for that "twang"! LOL!

By the way,the PRS has "soapbar" or P-90 pickups in it....the P-90's are found in the oldest gibson les pauls back in the 50's before humbucker pickups were invented. They are basically a single coil pickup like a strat pickup...except they have MUCH more wire wrapped around the magnet and this gives it a fatter sound. It sounds kind of in between a strat and a les paul. Not has high pitched as a strat single coil....but not as dark as a les paul humbucker.

You don't think I do huh? LOL! Actually for years I only played a fender strat and a fender accoustic guitar running through a guitar amp with an A/B box.

Only recently have I aquired the means to get a MIDI guitar that I use for strings, flutes, etc. and a PRS and Taylor accoustic along with the MIDI pedal and vetta II I have.

I've got the line 6 spider series... it's got a good sound, and it's really light weight... I wish it had a line out though... your tempting me with the line out on yours... : ) My wife would shoot me right now... hehehe...

I married a couple a few years ago... I told her that I needed to tell her something because her husband was a musician. I told her that it was neat right now that he played, but after marriage, the fun would wear off that really quick. A year later, she told me that was the best advise I could have given her... : )

LOL! Well in time you will be able to get one. Just make SURE your wife knows about it! HA! HA!

By the way, the next in line from the spider series is the flextone series and those do what the vetta does as far as being able to seperate the PA volume signal from the guitar amp volume signal. I like it because I can turn up my amp onstage and it does not do anything to the volume they have set for the PA system. Kinda gives the soundman one less headache to worry about. And the flextones have a good range of decent effects too.

You can always find really great used ones on ebay whenever you get into the market. Some look brand new.
