    Aristides Guitars

    I had the privilege of playing Olly Steele's 080 after a masterclass he did. About 2 minutes just strumming that guitar unplugged left me more impressed than hours I've spent with Duvells and Regiuses plugged in. Insanely bright and snappy, and mindblowing sustain. I am so desperate to order...

    Mishas Sig?

    Sorry if you've answered this before, but are the Pro Series going to get a solid colour matte finish anytime soon? I've got the black Pro Series HT7 and I like it a lot, but was wondering if a matte blue might be a possibility in the future?

    5 String Bass songs

    'Themata' by Karnivool is fantastic. Stockman does have a high C /but as far as I remember/, he doesn't use it. I also play 'Maggie's Farm' by RATM using the low B which sounds waaaayyyy better. If you're willing to down tune, most Tesseract songs only go down to A# and A(some go down to G#...

    5 String Bass songs

    Not to be rude but...there are thousands upon thousands of songs that use the low B. That's like asking for songs in drop D. If you're not limiting it to a specific genre then I don't really know where to begin with suggestions :P

    Darkglass Tone Capsule & Dingwall Combustion pickups?

    Well, it's a modified version of the 'Heavy Grind Bass' preset on the AxeChange. I'm afraid I can't remember exactly what I changed, but I believe I just tweaked the amps and EQ and cabs and drive and compression just a bit till it was more punchy and bass-sounding. I'll happily share all my...

    Darkglass Tone Capsule & Dingwall Combustion pickups?

    I've got an ESP Ltd B206, stock. I use an Axe FX XL+ and a B7K, and I can get a better tone than him, quite frankly.

    What is your favorite tuning on 8-string guitar and why?

    F-A#-F-A#-D#-F-A#-D# (Monuments tuning - it's just AWESOME!) E-A-E-A-D-G-B-E (Just standard with the lowest two string dropped) E-B-E-A-D-G-B-E (Just standard with the lowest string dropped) C#-F#-E-A-D-G-C-F (Played in this once before when messing about on a friend's 8'er, it's really fun!)

    PRS Multiscale 7

    Whilst it does look very nice, I fail to see the point. I know it's a matter of subjectivity, but why would you spent $15,000-$16,000 on a guitar whose quality won't be triple that of a $5000 Daemoness or another absolutely top-tier builder? Surely you're mostly paying for the prestige of a...

    35inch scale - Low E0, what gauge?

    Honestly, there's no point in tuning to E. It won't sound very good for a number of reasons: 1) Quite frankly, a bad bass for this sort of tuning down. 2) It's the limit of human hearing. 3) The speakers needed to push that kind of low-end are usually custom-made and expensive. Animals as...

    Dusty Waring's Personal CS PRS 7-string for sale!

    http://briansguitars.com/product/used-paul-reed-smith-private-stock-floyd-custom-24-7-string-northern-lights 1) THIS LOOKS FUCKING INCREDIBLE!!! 2) Why is Dusty selling it...? 3) $8000 for such a custom PRS is a great deal, right?

    Yet another Islamic attack in London...

    Not sure where I said there were only tens of millions of radicals, egg. Now, if you can find me non-Islamic groups in the UK that support violent sexism worldwide through recruiting and financial payment, if you can show me non-Islamic organised anti-women preaching (and especially to such an...
