A)Must be hard to live a life where everything is "black and white", and everybody is "out to get you"....

B)For the record, I have never liked Marc Bolan. I've never, willingly, heard one of his records. No one, except my family, has seen the Gibson yet, since my band hasn't been practising for a few months now.

C)I can only say what I, from experience, think about the guitar compared to other guitars I've had.

D)If you poor sods are happy with your Squier's, then good luck to you....

E)Btw, I'm far from easily pleased (unlike some I guess). That's why I have owned more guitars in the last couple of years than most people do in a lifetime.




A) Welcome to the music business.

B) Yeah makes sense you need to get your poses just right before you let the band see them in action!! Admitting you like Marc Bolan isn't so bad really, it could be worse, tho not much. Maybe you got into him in your teens or was it late in life.

C)Yeah it's a valuable thing experience and speaking from it of course so much depends on what it is. If you have valuable experience that's one thing, then again some people are so far up themselves they can never learn anything!

D)Ah now we are really getting to where you are really at. NOw we get you deal, your that common example called the "Guitar Snob". THe "I've spend more on mine than you have so it's got to be better" variety of arseh*le. No doubt you will be enjoying, perhaps even savouring, that moment where you can proudly say "yes, but mines a real Gibson", proud in the knowledge that you probably paid well more than it's actually worth, but it gave you those all important "bragging rights". Yep, you've got a "real GIbson" and I bet it makes you feel like a man with two c*cks, now doesn't it just! Gives you that warm superior feeling that makes you feel justified to infer that some other people here play something that's a bit" crap". SO again it's back to the "my c*cks bigger than yours" routine so enjoyed by "clever dicks" like you. You really need to post some clips now so we can all be as impressed with your playing as we are with your chat. Sorry I forgot of course you don't have the technology, allegedly! At the end of the day your Gibson may well have cost more than the avergae Fender on here, BUT doesit make you a better player becuase of it's extra cost? EH nope I don't beleive so. To be honest given that your Burstbuckers will distort more easily than single coils I'd guess that you probably are a sloppier player for it and these cover your mistakes more easily than single coils. THat would make a lot of sense, but of course feel free to post clips to prove me wrong.

E) More assumptions again. YOU have no idea who on this forum may or may not have owned more or less guitars in their lifetime than you have in the last two years, compelte b*llocks again!. Presumably you are very fussy and just couldn't find a guitar that "did it for you". I've met a lot of people like that and they all had the same thing in common, which was a huge ego and no substance for it. There is indeed a wonderful old saying which covers guitar players with this problem that goes " A BAD Tradesman ALWAYS blames his tools" I'd guess that should be ringing the odd bell with you!!

This is like that guy who used to post here who's entire being was wrapped up in the fact that he owned the first or second "Rithcie Blackmore Set Neck Signature" guitar produced which he bought for $2,000 more than it was worth and had Blackmroe sign. For him that guitar was a talisman with which he could ward off all forms of evil and it defined him as "Mr Big C*ck". KB you are just the same with the GIbson's it seems. Man that's sad, very sad.

PS.......KB a nice attempt to tone it down, but too late really. Seems evident where you are at on this.

I don't beleive that either ME or NIJI claimed to be MASTERMINDS nor said that cheap was best. We both clearly said, and seems, surprise surprise, you now agree, that paying more is NOT a guarantee of better quality. If you think it is then sadly you are out of touch and a d1ckhead to boot!!

Funny, coming from you, who have tried out all "musical instrument possibilities" associated with Ritchie Blackmore just because you can afford to do so (according to one of your posts a very long time ago).

So don't open your mouth TO wide talking about "fussy" and finding a guitar that can "do it for you", since you clearly can't find anything that suits you if it hasn't got Blackmore written all over it.

Anyway....ahhh, why do I bother?

Boring!!!

I love your assumptions and here you go again jumping to all sorts of conclusions about stuff you know nothing about at all, it's really wonderful and more than lttle amsuing!

You are just a childish "guitar snob" which you've successfully confirmed here and you've denegrated many of the forum members instruments in the process, so looks like you can congratulate yourself on a really good nights work there! Bet lots of peeps here are thrilled to hear how bad their guitars actually are from a "real Gibson" owning superstar like yourself!

For the record I have used the same simple setup, no pedals, no crap, for years and years, because it works and works very well. I don't need to find a guitar that "does it for me", because I found that one decades ago and still use it today unaltered from then.

Unlike you with your dumb assumptions I've been happy with my setup for as long as I can remember, despite attemts to chenge it over the years, it's always reverted to the original successful setup, every time.

Maybe one day you'll grow up and stop being a silly little "guitar snob" and stop running other people down becuase your've got a "real Gibson" and they dont. After all, except for you, who really gives a rats f*ck if you play a £50 balsa wood bodied chinese strat or a £5000 Gibson anyway...........answer is nobody.

Definately lets have some clips soon so we can here how much better your play on your "real Gibson". Make it a Video clip then we can catch your Marc Bolan moves at the same time, you mustv'e got them down to a tee by now surely.

You're an amuzing chap, I'll give you that!

Who's been here on the forum putting everybody, I mean EVERYBODY, down because of their "stupid" attempts trying to copy Blackmore' set up? Who's been telling everybody, I mean EVERYBODY, how stupid they are who think Blackmore ever used Marshall's to create his sound? No other than you, BTN, no other than you! Everytime someone has an opinion that differs from your own "facts", you seem to go completely bananas!

I don't put anybody down, but I have no problems stating my opinions on guitars (they are just that- opinions!) based on what I've learned over the years trying out different guitars. Some are good, some are not! To bad you can't see that. Maybe that's a good thing? At least you will be happy with your Squier axe made from wet wood found down at the seaside somewhere outside of China.

I know that for some guitars you have to pay way to much, but that's just the way things are. You can always get a cheap guitar, but you will get what you are willing to pay for. If you want quality, you have to pay (just like when you're buying a car), but it's to bad that you have to pay to much. That's life! The world wants to be cheated, and off course someone will take that opportunity to make some extra bucks.

What is it with you and Marc Bolan? You can continue your Bolan crusade. I don't care since I don't know much about him except he's dead. IMO he made a lot of forgettable music, at least the few snippets I've heard over the years.

OK, I'm off! Got some posing to do in front of the mirror!

A) Excellent and of course entirely correct, you keep providing the material and I'll keep delivering the lines!
B) Yes I think I've heard most of them, from the "Ritchie always plays at Volume 13" to "the Marshall Majors make his sound" and they have all been crap, ill considered and frequently just plain dumb!
C) Blackmore didn't use Majors to produce his sound. Thats yet another assumption, you see them on stage defacto they make the sound. Goes hand in hand with assuming people here all play Chinese Squires. You're a dick!
D) Sorry not correct. I dislike "guitars snobs" though, becuase usually I've found the more snobby they are about their instruments the poorer they actually play them, it's weird. Again , time for clips from you I think!
E) No disrespect intended of course, BUT you did take rather a "superior" swipe at anyone here playing a Squire or anything cheaper than your "real Gibson". THat's actually rather sad, but YOU did it. This debate began because YOU wouldn't see that there are both good and bad elements even in models like your own precious "real Gibson".
F) I don't own a Squirer. And there is another example of your "guitar snobbery", YOU feel the need to make it plain that YOU don't play a Chinese Squire by assuming that I do. YOU are just like a 3 year old KB, it's p1ss poor really. Like I wrote before apart from YOU who actually gives a rat f*ck what you play. Answer actually nobody.
G) Nobody has said ANYTHING other than if you want quality you have to pay. HOWEVER paying for quality that you are NOT getting is entirely DUMB and that is the POINT here. Just because you have a "real Gibson" which you paid a lot for DOES NOT GUARANTEE that it is actually the high quality instrument it should be, END OF. !! If you can't see that then you really are dense. Not ALL "real Gibsons" or Fender Custom Shop models are the quality they should be by a looooong way. If you have much experience of guitars at all, then that's an easy one to grasp, as you shoul dhave found it for ourself many times already!
H)It's not me and MArc Bolan, it's YOU and Marc Bolan, you know it's true. Have you got corkscrew hair or do you just wear a wig for posing in front of the mirror to get the moves just right. Which of his great hits do you play ? Have you got a Silver sparkley jacket to go with the "Gold Top" jsut like he did back in the day, I bet you really do. It's a bit of a larf for you pretending to be into the "Prince of Darkness" while all the time you play a "real Gibson GOld Top" and prefer 70's glam pop/rock. Oh forget the clips, I found this one from earlier, it's cool.

About your answer on D: Yes, you go completely ape whenever someone has an opinion that differs from yours.

Sad, but true!

About your obsession with one Marc Bolan, who I didn't like at all, here's a Gold Top player I really like...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfM6nRVBvGs

...and I bet you can't do that with your wet wood squier!

A) Well if reasoned argument is "going ape" then little surprise you find it hard to deal with!!

B) I still think you are a Bolan Fan and as for this...................well I knew you were easily pleased and this proves it again.

C) Indeed you are correct I can't and nor would I want to. Realisitically it's hardly a brilliant piece, a nice little tune perhaps but hardly brilliant in terms of anything much, it's just not impressive neither the playing nor the sound/tone. A couple of guitars playing a unision piece, eh so what. BUT whats more interesting is despite having a "real Gibson Gold Top" you couldn't even get near re-producing that either, despite it's simplicity. That's the best joke really.

I'd guess we need to draw a veil over this.

I've established to my total satisfaction that you are one of those extremely sad music people( "The Guitar Snob") who equates the price of his guitar to his superior status. I admit to being disappointed as I thought there was more to you than that, but hey it's predictable. You are a "guitar Snob" thats clear. As before nobody gives a Rats F*ck what instrument you play, it's irrelevant to everyone except you. Maybe you go down the pub and chat up women using it "Hi I'm KB I've got a real Gibson Gold Top, you wana take me home tonight"!!!!

Enough sh1t already, just post some clips and let the forum hear how wonderful a "real Gibson" sounds when it's played by a really superior player like yourself. MAybe you could even play something simple, like the clip you asked me to listen to, who knows you might even be able to play it, looks like it takes only 2 fingers and a Gold Top!! Incidentially seems the Gold Top didn'tmake that guy play especially well either, maybe a message in there for you!

Rezi: Just the usual happy banter of the forum, and let's be honest it's the closest this place has come to being even vaguely alive for weeks now, which as ever is the only reason for participating.............well that and the fact that it was time to "out" KB's latent Marc Bolan fettish!! He's been keeping it quiet, posting here and just pretending to like Blackmore but all the while he really loves MArc Bolan pop, TV theme Tunes and men in funy white hats playing tunes with just two fingers.

KB you are, by your own definition, a sad "Guitar Snob" my last words on the topic.
