Laney GH50L; Marshall 1960 gab, Boss GE-131 eq, Jackson RR1 guitar. What doesn´t show in the picture, on the floor there is Ibanez TS9DX, Boss NS-2 and Ibanez tuner pedal. That little box on the eq has a volume knob for controlling the signal level from the effect loop.

OK,from the other thread---
Ya, the B.C. was my first "quality" guitar-got it new in '87,and unlike a lot of folks who go through X # of guitars over the years-that one was my one and only for the better part of 20 yrs. The neck on that thing felt as though it were made for my hand, and it wasnt until I came upon my Mike Kelly(2005), that I ever found another that felt as good in my hand.So, I just never bothered getting any others,until then. Much as I like how it feels though, it has made me despise Alder as being useful only as firewood,and the stock Di Marzios I plan to use for target practice when I get around to replacing them. Just bloody awful sounding things..

As for Fast Eddie-I happened to be cranking some old Motorhead last nite,in fact. lol.
But he was the inspiration behind the mods to my 1st electric, and cheap,old Harmony strat copy I got when I was about 16.
Now,if you recall, back in those days there was no online, there was no e-bay, and replacement pickups and parts consisted of whatever you could scrounge off someone else's beaters.
Having only then recently seen Motorhead with Eddie, I wanted a humbucker in the bridge on my strat.

This of course,was unheard of,otherwise,back then. Much less an H-S-S config...A buddy of mine had yanked an old Bill Lawrence humbucker out of one of his guitars,so I scrounged that off of him,and went to town on my strat with a saw and a file (had no other tools around) and wedged that thing in there.
So, at the time, I became the 1st and only guy in town with an H-S-S strat. (those didnt appear on name-brand instruments until about 3-4 yrs later). Folks we'rent sure what to make of that -I caught all kinds of flak for it.
Then, a buddy of mine had gotten a then-new Kramer,with a Floyd. The first folks to offer such a thing. After trying that out, I was like woaaaaaaaah I gotta get one of these.
They werent yet easily gotten as an after-market item, but I happened upon a guy who had gotten one,didnt like it-and replaced it with a 6-screw strat trem. (which didnt turn out well at all). But I'd traded some stuff to him for his Floyd,took it to a local shop and had the tech there install it. Wasnt able to get the locking nut for it,so I had to use one from a Kahler..
Then I was really a "rebel" amongst most local,traditional players.
H-S-S and a Floyd -before there were any Charvels or Jacksons to offer such a thing.
Ill have to find and scan one of the old pics of that thing I have around somewhere and post it soon...

Yea,
I am a big motorhead fan (Fast Eddie years). Back around '83 or so when I was playing my 1980 Aria Pro copy of an SG through a Pignose amp and 70's little big muff Pi pedal, he was my biggest influence!. The fastway album was the first album I wanted to play everything off of. And I thought I was hot shit because I figured out all of the songs on the Nazareth hair of the dog album!

Fast Eddie did disappear into obscurity: he is supposently living on a island somewhere (I think I read). Possibly living off his royalties.. He was supposed to have used a DiMarzio X2N at one time. Way too heavy for me in my strat. These days, we can use the latest amp modeling to make our strats sound close.

You were ahead of the curve with a HSS Strat! Dave Murray had one back in the early Iron Maiden days, and I did not really understand how important different pickups were untill the mid 1980s. Much worse, I didnt know how important it was to BUY better pickups untill 1999! Now the thought of stock pickups is out of the question. I tolerate them on my Marcus Miller bass because those are USA Vintage PUPs, and the only thing better (to me) are DiMarzio Ultra Jazz.

For guitat, I am die-hard DiMarzio (going 180 degrees from many years of Seymour Duncans). The PUPs in my USA 70s strat are two DP-404 Virtual Vintage Solos (sound and perform like P90s) and a Virtual Vintage Heavy blues in the neck (FRICKIN AWSOME neck pickup!).

If you like Motorhead, you had to have been a Saxon fan (hard rock, but more melodic singer and more rock anthem format) back in the day! In those days, my music influences were Sabbath (Dio and Ozzy and even Ian Gillian), Ozzy, Saxon, Fast Eddie ANYTHING, Led Zep, AC/DC. Now my influences span the ridiculous gamet of anything!
