Can anyone give me more details on his Teles? I'm acquiring one soon and am aiming for somewhere between Matt Bellamy, Johnny Greenwood and Mike Einziger.

Well, I still have to decide, that's why I'm asking. At the moment, the Aerodyne Tele seems pretty sweet, it's got the standard Tele bridge pup and a p90 in the neck. The HC reviews are glowing. I'd probably replace the bridge pup with a SD Quarter-Pounder if the thing's not fat enough, and the p90 with a SD Vintage p90 if I can't get the "right" tone (seeing as Bellamy uses a SD Hot p90).

[QUOTE=Idiot Martyr]The one he uses on [I]Agoraphobia[/I] looks like the Butterscotch Maple reissue, but I don't know the specs on it so I couldn't give you a definitive answer.[/QUOTE]

It's the one I described. Seen them play it live twice.

My next guitar will be a Jazzmaster, mark my words; and I like the way they look :upset:

Well I love my Telecaster and that sounds pretty sweet too so it's really up to you. Haha I use stock pickups and it even sounds great, I can only speculate what it sound like with those kind of improvements.

[QUOTE=Skyler]It's the one I described. Seen them play it live twice.[/QUOTE]

I meant like specific details about it. All I know is that it's yellow, most likely American, and downtuned.

[QUOTE=enjoimx]yeah i mean, might look into a tele maybe, if i can find one for cheap.........[/QUOTE]
Teles are ridiculously cheap nowadays. I agree with Idiot Martyr, grab a Mexican Standard. Or you could always splash out a little more for one of the "classic" series Teles - the 50's, 60's, 70's, '72 Deluxe and '72 Custom. I'd love the Deluxe.

enjoimx 11-08-2005 12:29 PM

[QUOTE=issues]what are you gooing to get your degree in to be pulling down 124 grand?[/QUOTE]

I'm going to become a psychiatrist. In my state they make an average of about $124,000.

But I'm doing that because it's my passion, other than music of course.

mutant! 11-09-2005 12:58 AM

I'm going to get an honours degree in DSP. Bow down, mofo. :D

And then a degree in Advertising and Marketing. I don't know how much I'll be making but I can tell you there's gonna be hella jammings at my house.

Incubus is one of the only recent mainstream rock acts that I really like. Morningview is one of the ultimate chill out album. Aqueous Transmission is one of my favorite songs.

I love you man.

I think they only achieved mainstream popularity post-Make Yourself. Anyone else agree?

Skyler 11-09-2005 08:10 AM

Yep. After Morning View came out, I noticed that their shows actually sold out and most of the new fans were girls.
