Hey everyone!
I wanted to ask for some advice since I’ve been investing for a while now in upgrading my whole rig. Just to give some context, I’m going for a stoner/sludge kind of sound (Baroness, Torche, Isis, Mastodon, The Sword).
At the moment I’ve only put together the pedalboard (pic related), but I still need a proper amp and a new guitar (time to retire my PRS SE 😅).
As for the amp, I’ve kinda settled on using the same approach as John and Gina from Baroness - so stacking pedals on a clean tone. I’m torn between a Fender Bassman 50, a Twin Reverb Silverface, or just using the clean channel on a Rockerverb 50.
The guitar is a bit trickier. I’ve always dreamed of getting a Dunable, but here in Europe I’d be paying like €1400–1700 just for a Korean-made one. Never tried one, but I don't think it would be worth it. So I’ve been looking at some vintage alternatives like a Kramer (450G or DMZ 1/2/3000), or something like a Gibson Les Paul Special / Hamer Special with P90s, or a Guild S300-D - trying to stay in the €1000–1500 range. I’ve also been looking at some more modern Guilds like the Polara or the Jetstar, but I don’t know if they are a bit below others.
What do you guys think? Would you change anything? Thanks a lot in advance for any advice 😃
