Hey guys, can anyone tell me the difference between gigmakers and stage customs?
Anyone else notice the new stage customs in the raven finish look green? At first i was just happy to have a extremely decent kit, that's 100% birch, sounds great at an affordable price. But now i just feel like an asshole for settling for a kit that should be black that is clearly green.
Edit i made another separate thread about it, I will try to delete that and we can just discuss this here.
Hey guys and gals -
Has anyone out there ever replaced the 1.6mm hoops on a Recording Custom kit - and if yes, what were the results/details of that?
I have an older pre-YESS RC kit in Quartz Grey and I'm considering swapping out the 1.6mm hoops with some 2.3mm hoops. Might even do black nickel because I think it would look good with the grey and the chrome RC lugs.
I just got my Musashi Black 7x8 add on rack tom for my Oak Customs. They said it would be 4 months and it only took a little over a month to get.
So now my set up is 8, 10, 12(rack) 14, 16(floor) 22(bass). Everything is still brand new in the box....including a 3 side/leg Hex Rack that I ordered.Next Ill be putting new heads on and ordering all new A Customs. I'm not even going to set up the kit until I have everything ready to go. I'll take pics..
Right now I'm practicing and gigging with my Beech Customs.
I'm thinking of swapping out my hoops for aluminum die cast, but they're very expensive.
I actually have a set of the 2.3 hoops I could try, but I just don't care much for triple flange hoops. What sizes are your toms? Maybe I can sell you some hoops.
Nice! I have been after a set of beech custom/absolutes for years, and every time one shows up locally, some one flakes, or someone buys it from under me.
I absolutely love my Beech customs. I get compliments from sound guys everywhere I play...whether its in the studio or live. They have a nice warm sound but they still really cut thru. I got lucky and found a church that was switching to an e-kit and wanted to sell their acoustic set that was in perfect condition. I got it super cheap. It came with 8,10,12,14 rack toms and 14,16 floor toms. I don't even use 2 of the toms.
If I decide to sell them Ill let you know. It depends on how much I like the new Oaks.
Its pretty much identical to this kit...without the snare.
PHX is staying in Yamaha Japan Facility , all new lines to build up from the new Yamaha facility in China, with the very early beginnings of Live Custom.
