  • Thinking of upgrading

    I've tried an RR24 and now I want one. To get one quicker, I'd be looking at selling off my WRMG and DK2S, but I am concerned. All the patches on my GT-8 were constructed using the WRMG. When constructing patches using a BC Rich NJ Speedloader, which also had an ebony board (bolt-on neck), everything sounded bassless and harsh. I own a WR1 too, thru which sounds a little bassless or tighter than the WRMG. What I don't wanna do is lose the ability to make all-rounding sounds sound weak.

    Being as the WR1 is a neckthru (my first neckthru for that matter), and having liked the RR24 when I demo'd it, feelwise, it's a winner, only that it was the wrong body finish for me. When demo'ing a guitar, I rarely get an idea of how it's gonna sound thru my own rig, because it's very different from everyone else's. For a start, I don't use a guitar amp, I use a digital desk and active monitors. My patches are nothing like the factory presets of the Boss GT-8. Every shop within 30 miles tends to only have Line6 stuff available to demo.

    This sounds like a stupid question (maybe I can't get the right words out), but should I always keep these so-called redundant guitars, or just sell them and hope I don't regret it?

    I've dealt with Sound Control on this part-ex'ing before (which is how I ended up with the DK2S in the first place). I previously got £220 back for my KE3 last year. Failing that, there's always fleabay (and I refuse to sell a well-looked after guitar for fuck all, then pay fees on top).

    Advice please.

                  You know, you can change patches? Guitars are to be played, tones are to be altered to them, find a guitar/guitars that play awesome, alter how they sound (pickups/hardware) as needed, and tweak the amp!

                  And if the others are now as you put 'redundant' then yeah sell em. I have 7 guitars and I'm still changing tunings/gauges/pickups on em! Each has its own thing.
