    String Tension Super Thread (Got a string question? Post it here!)

    whats gauges should i throw on to a 25.5" scale 7 string for the tuning GCGCGCe (low to high), with a floating bridge? I like quite a tight tension as i tend to do a lot of fast shred as I play mostly extreme metal.

    7 string Ibanez BTB returns

    interesting, been hungry for a the OG BTB7 whenever I see them crop up on the usual selling pages, but they are always going for ridiculous money (In the UK at least). Any word on when this is going to be released for general sale? Guessing Spring 2018?

    Looking for a bass for a home recording project. Clarify me some issues

    literally today (not done a NBD yet) I got a second, possibly even third, hand LTD B-55. Its great, just do a bit of scouring on ebay/facebook groups/craigs list etc and you will find something decent. I was looking at a Shine bass as my cheapest best option until this popped up for an extra...

    The iOS Amp Modeler App Thread!

    Has anyone found a good iOS app that gives a clean signal? i.e no amp emulation, no effects, just the raw guitar output signal that can be fed through an iDevice into a soundcard? I ask because I want to get a clean unadulterated signal from my guitar into my ipad and out of the headphone socket...

    Positive Grid Bias

    Im Curious about this because I dont suffer issues with it, and I have a fairly old desktop. It's a 2ghz quad core 64bit processor thats 7+ years old, with 8gb of DDR2 memory. got a lot of HDD space though which might help, but the disk is only a 7200 rpm drive so nothing special.

    Pitch Shift VSTs?

    I have recently used the freetortion Whamdriver and it seems pretty good. Its free so no harm no foul if you dont like it. Its basically a Digitech Whammy Pedal emulator.

    Positive Grid Bias

    The iPad/iPhone version is pretty cool, good fun to mess around with on the go, and as has been said above, it wont break the bank, some of the packs are nice, like the whammy pedal, but then I have an unnatural obsession with that sound anyway. I did get tp try out the desktop version at a...

    Dimebag Darrell Memorial Day

    10 years without Dime :noplease: I still remember hearing about it happening and thinking it was a joke cause every story seemed to be different. Of course being an adult I take the 9th of December off every year if its a weekday so I can get my pull and re-watch the 91 Moscow Ozzfest...
