Hmmm. It's an interesting idea, though I would think something like quartz might be more in line with the vibratory selling point. Granite is hard, but that makes it more brittle. Plus it can't be any easier to cut, polish, and drill out a chunk of stone than a block of brass. No...I'll pass.

I'm not real familiar with these guys but this record rocks. XIq-C1-lLWM

This is probably an 81 or 82 Robin RH-2. Made by Tokai, it's probably about as early a superstrat type as you find. Thin neck, like a Carvin or Wizard 2, dual Schaller humbuckers, trem, body carves. You can see how this model would have inspired Charvel, Kramer, and others to head toward the...

"Deserves" is not an easy term to define. Typically I'd say you deserve to get what you negotiated. So what they decided when they got together, or agreed to in any subsequent negotiation, would be their contract to uphold. Heck, if RS quit and it wasn't inline with his working agreement he...

I just learned about a little local maker called Hovercraft amps. Big amps, little amps, they seem to specialize in Matamp/Orange/Sunn sort of tones, but a couple cross over to others. Some neat tones, and pretty cheap too. I'm not sure what the entire business model is, maybe some parts...

So yeah, I like Disturbed. Lots of riffs, pretty good swing to the tunes, not super shreddy but thick. Dan Donegan may be a little underrated as a player. Draiman may be a bit pretentious but it's seems like they give a full effort all the time. Fire away....

If I buy an amp from you, you better send the power cord unless we have discussed it already. Dammit, I hate unpacking a new toy only to have to scavenge for a power cord.

So this is a recent show. Not a bad effort altogether. It looked like Thayil is using Mesas, maybe RA-100 or Electradyne. His rhythm tone was killer. Clear and crunchy. His lead tones were almost too clean, and I mean they were not smooth enough for what I remember them to be when they used...

There seems to be something spicy on the top end of the NBKing. Did you boost the Elmwood too?

I completely overlooked this band/record this year. Essentially half of Helloween with new material. I've always been a Kai Hansen fan, and this is a good fix. 2XR65ATnBWI

How good does the LP sound now? If it's killer then I leave it and put the Arcanes in the SG.

I'm putting together a rig based on 2x12, mosvalve mv-962, and a Tech 21 Liverpool for preamp. It's the V1 without speaker emulation defeat. The emulation is a Bulldog/Alnico blue. So I'm looking for a fairly neutral speaker for the cab. I was thinking something like a Jensen Blackbird...

So heres the guitar I'm looking at. https://www.ebay.com/itm/COOL-Z-ZLC-1-WH ... 008wt_1012 I read some tech on Fugigens page about the CFS stuff, but has anyone actually played with it? It's not like those broken up frets (jet frets?) just basic curved frets. Anyone with input?

Pretty fucking good record. That's all.

Ian Astbury is a great front man, still has it. Band is tight, Duffy played a LP and his big white Gretsch. Love how this band is just rock and roll.

I'm looking to pickup a small amp but around the 15-20w range. I play mostly rock stuff. I tried the Tiny Terror twice and can't quite bond long term. I think I'm done with Blackstar and selling my ht-5. So I've narrowed it down to these two, Egnater Tweaker or Vox Night Train. I'd include...

I'm watching High on Fire - Frost Hammer vid on youtube and it looks like he's playing some 9 string guitar. Anyone know what that is? You can see the headstock pretty well at 0:27. 6mlsUVAbVcM

But this tune is too fun not to share. CAV0XrbEwNc

Gassing a bit for a singlecut, the SE singlecut and tremonti are both in my budget. What is the consensus on the stock pickups for these? Youtube vids are indeterminate. Some are nice, others are hacks.

Live in Manila, Schon and the band sound great, Arnel has pretty good stage presence but I'm a bit on the fence with his singing.
