    I fucking HATE YouTube Music.

    I went through this as well. Actually, still going through it. My initial primary reason for Google Play Music was the ability to upload your owned/own music to GPM, and stream it alongside their streamable music. Secondary was gapless playback. I have lots of OOP albums that no service has...

    How much do you like playing guitar?

    9. I love music, started on piano (self taught) at age 5. Only reason a 9 and not 10 is because I love all instruments, but guitar is my favorite of them all. So, maybe 10 for guitar then, and 9 for all others? Maybe guitar 10, bass, keys 9, and 8 for all others? (sigh) When I came out of an...

    Dimarzio Gravity Storm

    I seem to have a fondness for mid-hype, throaty/growly ceramic pickups. Still love my old Super Distortion in my LPC, and love my nearly 20yr old Evolution (in an '89 RG550), and my Evo7s (UV7PWH and ESP 7). I have an '87 RG560 that I was going to just grab an Evolution for (and then try to find...

    Dimarzio Gravity Storm

    Up on their site Not a ceramic. Alnico5. Would love to hear these straight into a few well known amps. Huh. EDIT: Looks like the Neck version is on the Medium page, and listed as being.. ceramic. Very interesting...

    GP-1000 tech questions

    Thx! Yeah, I wrote to him during the week, but figured no response (yet) was due to NAMM and all. Problem is, I really need to get it sold ASAP. I had to pick something to sell, and if it is working properly, unfortunately, it has to go (I have an RM4 and modules, so I will be ok... I hope..)...

    GP-1000 tech questions

    Hi! I have a Perfect Connection GP-1000 (Lee Jackson, '88 model) that I really like alot, but need to sell (times is hard everywhere :( ). Before I do, I want to be sure it is working properly. It has always sounded great to me, but the tone section seems odd. If I turn all 3 tone controls...

    Cabinets for 7-string guitars?

    Alot has to do with cabinet design, paired with appropriate speakers. IMO, take something like an EVM-12L, stick in a 1x12 Thiele.. or grab a nicely tuned and ported 2x12. Something that resides just between "guitar 4x12" and a bass cab (could be 4x10.. 2x12.. 4x10 + 1x15). IMO, something...

    Good rack multi-FX?

    Hi again! OK, I joined the Fractal forums and posted over there. My only real remaining concerns are the sound/timbre/quality/adjustability of phaser, flanger, and other "special" effects; support/repair 4-5 years from now (if needed, mainly due to this being "boutique" in a way); will it play...

    Good rack multi-FX?

    OK, just letting you Axe FX cult members know that you have me scrounging the house for ANYTHING of value that I can sell and not feel horrible about selling later. Is this how a crack or meth addict feels? This is all your fault!!! DAMMIT!!! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown: The only good thing is...

    Good rack multi-FX?

    Dammit, you guys are killin me... I am looking around my home for stuff to sell now... The delay, verb and chorus seem to be the cat's tits (had to use the phrase somewhere today..lol...). What about flanger, phaser and other stuff? If I could get away with only the Axe FX, and forgo the...

    Good rack multi-FX?

    I did a quick search, saw it and the skeptic in me taped my shoulder and said, "Uh.. yeah, fly by night company, prolly a one trick pony that will break and leave you in tears.." OMFG!! I found some video and audio of it, and yeah- THAT is what I call tone. Really nice. At the same time...

    Good rack multi-FX?

    Hi! I am trying to find a rack multi-effect (or two if need be). I have an old SGX 2000 (up'd to Express) that I liked the sound of the phaser, flanger, and some of the odd effects, and then the delay and chorus were decent enough. Unit is a bit cloudy and colored, but did me well. It has been...

    HELP - Recommend me a keyboard.

    OK.. for feel, it really depends on two things then: experience based preference, or "beginner's preference." If you have played piano before, then you might want to try several different keyboards. Every brand has a different feel, from subtle to "OMFG!!" different. Even so, do you really...

    HELP - Recommend me a keyboard.

    So many choices.. Another vote on the Fantom 8. Oasys if you have serious $$$. Used Kurzweil K2600 Korg Triton Or, you could find a nice controller, and then if you want soft synths, grab a Receptor (by Muse). No computer required for real-time/live use. If you want weighted, I am...

    Help with 1x12 please

    Holy shitballs maple + purple agile

    Rusty Cooley RC7G 7 String Signature Supposedly wicked thin. From the vids out n about showing it, it looks VERY thin. Like, thinner than original UV thin. At the very least, as thin as. How does the neck profile on these compare to an original UV? If they are thick (Schecter thick?), then...
