Did you see that insanely ugly guitar Gary Holt was slinging on the first song with Slayer? I felt violated, like my feelings were hurt. I just kept shouting "NO GARY, NO! THIS CANNOT BE HAPPENING!!" At this point I have to assume he was contractually obligated by Kerry King so that Kerry would...
I would note that someone on this forum had an amp "lost" in shipping years ago. It eventually showed up on ebay being sold by ups. Legally! Why you might ask? The rigtalk member signed the check ups sent him. If he had never signed the check, ups couldn't have legally sold it on ebay.
I get head covers and stack 'em up like prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison. Every once in a while I'll pull one out of the pile just to abuse the fuck outta it, then toss it back into storage. I make them stand on the end with the transformer on the bottom just for further humiliation.
Hell, I really dug the SL-X. Getting it modded by Brent Gutierrez made it even better. I'd do that again before I bought one of these new Marshall heads.
IMO my only next Marshall move is a 46and2. Cheaper than the new "modded" Marshalls and definitely metalAF.
I love no positioning markers on the fretboard, a lot of my customs are nekked...but I love a fancy custom inlay going across the board. The stuff Ken Lawrence does is superb.
Nope. As a thrash rythym payer, I only use a gate. When I played bass as a teenager I plugged straight in and went to town. I've ran an eq in the loop a couple of times on certain amps, but I'd rather not. There was a 4 year period when I was in the Navy where I had a huge rack full high end...
I had one modded by Brent Gutierrez. Loved it big-time. Loaned it to mailman Dan when he was ampless and he dug it too. I'd do it again if I wasn't already loaded with great Marshalls.
Played bass for 5 years before switching to guitar in '84 or so. First guitar came outta a bros closet that was full of junk. He played 9s. Strings felt like wimpy rubber bands underneath the onslaught of my mighty gorilla mitt that was flailing at them with a pick that was thick as a brick...
I just quit selling amps because it was a pain in the ass to ship them...and that's how gear piles up. Now I'm just keeping my powder dry for something special if it shows up.
Read the books. That is just who Dave is. For a supposed "Christian", he has a lot of hate and discontent going on. I'd like to believe he is "working on himself", but a person like him that feels he was cheated in some way will never get over it...especially if it was caused by a "friend". I...
