Hey… here’s an idea… why don’t you go buy another Larry amp so you can whine about it for years like 12 year old girl on her first period.

And then you can even make your signature bigger and even more irrelevant!

:emofag:

BTW No gives a fuck about you, your Larry amp,
or how he molested you. Heck many of us here thought it was hilarious. Especially for it to happen to a self-centered piece of shit libtard like you.

Sorry it took so long to respond. I've had you on ignore for quite some time. Here's a peace offering. Some backing tracks to go with your 3 C+s that'll hopefully get you up to half speed:

One of my favorite guitars is an LTD Elite M-II. It was that weird transitional period where everyone got pissed the old ESP Standard said LTD on the headstock, so they morphed that line into E-II. Amazing guitar.

You know, at this point I'd prefer an old-style block logo 'LTD' over the E-II logo, provided the LTD is a decent level guitar and not some beginner's 200/400 series.

If I can find an LTD Horizon Custom '87 (H-S) used in the next couple of years for a lot less than their current (IMO ridicoulous) price, I could be swayed.

Another 1989 reissue LPC with the same nylon nut as a studio but a $10,000 price tag? ?

Hey, I just dropped 7 bills on a LPC '68 RI Murphy Lab and it has a nylon nut! ...because it's the OG spec!! (...Though that's the one thing I may update.)

I spent half my life lusting after ESPs. Now that I'm an old fart and can afford them they look like cartoons & feel like toys.

The looks part is fair based on personal opinions, but ESP custom shop level guitars are as good as guitars get. Perfect craftsmanship & QC. They make the Gibson custom shop look like it's manned by Ford engineers.
 
it does suck that it takes a new nut and a total refret for gibson les pauls to be at the level they SHOULD be at off the shelf, given their reputation and price tag. All gibsons have a "clunky charm" as i call it. They tend to sound better than they play. like 1 out of every 15 les pauls i've played didn't need a shit ton of neck work to get them up to my standards. i should also explain that i had Micheal Tuttle refret both my norlin era LP's in the 2000's with stainless steel before he started building his own line of guitars, and after playing those, ALL les pauls play like shit. those high standards ruined me.

Well here's a different topic then. Why are you so aggressively defensive about the black album? Oh, I know. You had your first slow dance to Nothing Else Matters.

i had a girlfriend when i was 17 that wanted to make out to that song, and even being a super fan, i still thought it was corny. i was like "lets put on More Than Words instead". :ROFLMAO:

but weird accusation as an insult... i like it. you can have this one, i know you ain't got much.

The black albums production is fascinating to me. I love that Bob Rock called them out on their weaknesses and made that album sound phenomenal with the clever use of a lot of gear that they wouldn't have other wised touched. The "old school fans" (who are bigger gate keepers than the unsufferable thrash purists? ok, black metal purists, but thats it....) that fell in love with 5 years of the bands 40+ year history STILL can't handle their success.

You can still go down to your local 500 seater and see Exodus and Testament for a lot less and get what you want. They're still YOUR bands, and not EVERYONES bands. You're still super special for liking those bands, don't worry.

… and here’s a book for… maybe your husband can read it to you…

So no one here has to listen to you bitch and moan like a 12 year old girl about how an amp builder was mean to you.
With time, a friend that can read, and lots of luck… you might be able to build a solid state 9 volt powered amp in 20 to 30 years.

thank YOU for CLEARING that UP with YOUR equally SUPER special WEIRD way of CAPITALIZING words THAT don't NEED to BE emphasized LIKE that.

Are they all the same revision?? I was under the impression of three of the exact same amp which I wouldn’t understand
Click to expand...
Hmm let me think. I've definitely had 3 of the same thing, but not all at the same time. Well, for amps anyway.. I'm happy for anyone who has extra to spend on whatever toys they want. Personally I like to have backups for my favorites, but it's more because OCD than necessary. Getting my 16th Recto tomorrow. ?‍♂️

I have three norlins all with stainless jumbo Jescar, bone nuts, and even a slight compound 12-14”. Those guitars play better than $11,000 PRS customs. Once you experience the elixir of Gibson literally nothing compares.

Can confirm. A great gibson (though they can be hard to find) absolutely slaughters basically everything, including bespoke 15 million dollar builders, PRS, Suhr, Kauer, etc

I can confirm they win no contest against even Tom Anderson and Suhr. Norlin era aren't chamber weight relieved and as such you get insane metal and searing singing lead tones out of them. All three of these I’ve hand found, invested a ton of time in restoring the paint jobs, and having a luthier go through them one by one. They have nick’s and worm holes as Norlin era models do but damn if they aren’t killer guitars.
