    The Deftones are breaking my heart...

    Well I wondered this, but if so then the guy must be huffing pounds of weed a day. I consume a lot of weed on prescription but I haven't turned in to a fucking moron to this level.

    The Deftones are breaking my heart...

    How the fuck can a guy that has literally flown tours around the globe be a flat earther? I'm glad I got to see them back around '05/'06 when I still lived in the UK, support from Gojira and it was awesome 😔

    The Deftones are breaking my heart...

    I love Deftones but had no idea Steph was a whack head like you guys are saying. That's very, very disappointing to hear. And now Ray Liota has died. This fucking world gets more and more unbearable with every passing day.

    Anyone else not like glossy guitar necks?

    I dont like gloss finish on a guitar at all, neither the neck or the body. I have one, sentimental guitar with a gloss neck which I play just fine but when the heat and humidity starts to rise, that neck is not pleasant to play. In fact I may even try sanding it back, it will never be sold and...

    Non-locking floating trem for 7 string - does it work?

    Ahh i see, the only other two trem guitars I have are both Floyd's, one of them is currently tuned to C standard/Drop Bb but it has a Tremol-no installed since I'm not a trem user 99% of the time. The other one is in E Standard and fully floating. I like Floyds and they stay in tune great but I...

    Non-locking floating trem for 7 string - does it work?

    Unfortunately not any more as I sold it a couple of months back. I'll see if I have any pics anywhere but I'm not sure I have any now. What were you wanting to see pics of in particular?

    Non-locking floating trem for 7 string - does it work?

    I use 3 springs on all my trems without issue tuned anywhere between E standard down to F with the proper adjustment. Bending on a .74 was fine and seemed to have less pull out of pitch than some other higher tuned guitars, I would guess because of the lower pitch/string gauge. Not sure how it...

    Need opinions - my 2nd guitarist won't use any other amp than...

    A curious point there though is that it depends on your geographical location on whether a Marshall is seen in the same light. In NA they're much more expensive than they are in the UK where they're common as mud, much lower price and not viewed as prestigiously. I used to have all sorts of...

    Non-locking floating trem for 7 string - does it work?

    I had the Hipshot Contour bridge on my Mayones, tuned to drop G. Stayed in tune well but I'm not a huge trem user in all honesty, other than a few mild dives now and again but general stability was good but not a patch on a double locking. Free floating Graphtech XL nut 10 - 74 strings and no...

    Lets not forget the whole Josh Homme thing that lead to a shit ton of basically worthless amps exploding in price/demand. You can do a lot of things with a lot of things.

    Badstroke Guitars

    For the record, I have a build in progress with Aviator and can say their communication is good from what I've experienced. Never went more than about 2 weeks without a reply and only nudged them on one which Jan apologized for. To date I've had 13 emails, last one was to pick out the top wood...

    Need opinions - my 2nd guitarist won't use any other amp than...

    Exactly. Unless musicians have experience on both sides of the desk, having them in the room while you mix is almost always going to end badly. I wouldn't even let a band be in the studio when doing prelim mixes once I figured out this phenomenon. In my early years (before I knew better)...

    Need opinions - my 2nd guitarist won't use any other amp than...

    Absolutley. I would always do things like push an empty fader when the singer says they want the vocals louder or the lead player wants his 30 minute, tasteless, wank-fest guitar solo 30db higher than everything else. At the same time I'd be going "oh yeah, that sounds better!" while nodding...

    Trevor Strnad dead at 41

    Better not look in to the lyrics of "Christ Deformed" then. I pretty much play TBDM everyday from one album or another and likely will for the foreseeable future. Absolutely, truly, gutted by this outcome.

    All about this, if people really knew the trickery that goes on with their performances under recording circumstances they likely would have a conniption.

    Would you choose a 22 fret guitar as your main 7?

    Depending on how my current build turns out, I may get a 7 built too and have been debating whether to have that one as a 22 as well, though it would be an extended scale so I'm not sure how the physics shake out. In my world a double octave neck really is completely unused, its just what most...

    2023 Jeff Hanneman. Just what Ive been looking for!!!!

    I can't believe this is a surprise to you these days, Indo Strandberg's are into the $3k CAD, Schecter Banshee Mach is over $2k CAD and thats MIK. Guitar pricing is getting like house pricing, sky rocketing for no discernible reason other than "COVID prices". 🤷‍♂️

    Would you choose a 22 fret guitar as your main 7?

    I have a custom in production right now and one of my specs was a 22 fret neck rather than their standard 24. I'm a rhythm player first and foremost, I don't do much shredding so very rarely go past the 19th fret let alone get to the 24th. The other reason for 22 frets was so I could have the...

    2023 Jeff Hanneman. Just what Ive been looking for!!!!

    Ooooooooh now that is interesting. I was just watching an EC-JH600 on reverb but I was too slow to act on and sold. I'll be watching this with interest!

    Good albums with disappointing sound/production

    A noise gate on the guitars would be worthwhile too.
