Hey guys, I currently have a B-52 AT-100 tube head and a B-52 ST 412 cab with Vintage 30's. However, the all tube design isn't a huge fan of my new 8 string, and it tends to be too... grainy for lack of a better term. Needless to say, I'm really warming up to the idea of getting a solid...

haha everyones basically answered the questions directed at me for me. Except in response to does it remove the sterile EMG sound, Yes, it removes the STERILE EMG sound, and gives you an open bassy clear EMG sound. Emg's will always sound like emgs this just kills the sterile-ness of them and...

My my... 'tis a box. I wonder what's inside? Now that's just a cruel joke, there better not be another box inside this one... Thank god. Wow that's purty. But it's missing something Now THAT'S METAL!!:yesway:

I will have pics soon I promise! they just aren't uploaded yet. So yeah I got my first 8 in the mail yesterday, the ESP SC-608B. It's quite a beautiful guitar, the best way to describe the neck is a flat schecter shape. The idiots over at ESP threw a set of 10's on with a low 68, which is...

I feel all of your pain. I b0rked my RG1527 trying to refinish it and now I've used up all that's left of it for spare parts for my 6ers. I've been without 7 for over 3 months now and whenever I play my friend's 7 I remember how awesome it was. But tomorrow the SC-608B shall be mine :D. I wonder...

Allright well then I guess the 74 was probably a good choice. The only reason i have the gauges i do for the top 7 is because i wanted to use a standard set of 9's but yeah i can see how the tension rolling off may not be a good thing. I suppose technically it's better to have the tension going...

yeah now that i'm looking at the gauges more and more and seeing how the tension slope seems to go down from A to E and then to the low B, a 70 seems like it'd be perfect... Technically a 74 would be good but I think the 54 as a low B is perfect which is about 1.5lbs (off the top of my head)...

ah okay. do you think the 74 is good proportionately to the other strings?

lol well i still have my trusty les paul, although it's the dreaded 24.75. 2 semitones? aka full step up?

I'm the kid who tried to refinish his RG1527 but haven't posted here in a while because I kindof... borked the body. Basswood is soft as all hell! Edges do not agree with electric sanders. I've used it for so many spare parts already though there's no chance it's ever going back together...

Well i finished putting the finish on, but apparently i didn't sand the contours smooth enough. I also didn't clean the wood off enough so there was dust caught underneath and yeah it was basically a mess. So I decided to have some fun while the paint was still wet before I sanded it off I...

Well guys I just finished putting the primer on. And the color I've chosen is... Mirror Silver :D 7 String BRMR anyone? Actually i have no clue if it'll actually end up being that reflective, but the sample in the store was that reflective so all i can do is hope. Just waiting for the...

yeah the glow in the dark idea definetly sounds cool. Right now i think i'm debating between white, looks/feels-like-rock-stuff, some color combination of mystic dream, or glow in the dark.

WOOT!! I just finished sanding the contours so it's all ready for a primer now. New pics are up!

Thx :]. I'll check that out as soon as I get a chance

well i'm kindof a noob when it comes to amps and such, so i didn't/don't know excactly what to look for to see if the speaker is blown.

I'm not sure exactly what's wrong with my cab... It's a B-52 ST-412, it comes loaded with vintage 30's. It was just fine until a couple weeks ago, when i was playing clean with my 7 (nothing crazy just standard low b) and I heard an odd buzzing coming from the bottom right speaker. I did more...

Thx for all the feedback guys :hbang:. I realize the sides will probably be deathly hard to sand but the thing is they're kinda scratched up/chipped and I think in the long run it'll be better to just redo the whole thing. Black body binding does sound metal though. Anyway I should get around to...

Hey, I don't post much on here, I tend to stalk alot more than contribute, but yesterday I decided to refinish my 1527 and make it more METAL!!! than it already is. I'm sure you all have a good idea of what a black dinged up and scratched up 1527 workhorse looks like, so i have no "before" pics...

http://www.pacificsites.net/~dog/StringTensionApplet.html this is an amazing tool for calculating string tension/gauge. If you bought a set of D'addario EXL 145's, and got a low 72, then it'd be just about right... len 25.5" (that's scale length) C4 .012" PL == 14.71# G3 .016" PL...
