There are a scary amount of Pens fans on this board. I am afraid :ugh: On another note, Dubnyk finally got his first win. And it only took 11% of the season to get! I really hope the Oilers pull it together. Year after year near the basement is becoming a downer.

Looks like hoping wasn't enough. 9-0...no one saw that coming. I was all against LA after beating Atlanta - I'm still sentimental for the Maddux/Glavine/Smoltz days. My money's on Boston, if nothing else, simply to prove how dramatic an effect positive organizational culture can be. And...

Nah, it was Andy: THE POLICE - SYNCHRONICITY II - Vidéo Dailymotion I remember because the Synchronicity II video scared the hell out of me as a kid. You're right about bass though - I think it'd be tough to play chords on these. They have pretty much the ultimate scalloped board.

Wow. I remember Andy Summers playing one of these years ago - never thought I'd hear about them again. It's definitely a unique take on the guitar, and I can totally appreciate the craftsmanship that I'm sure goes into it. That guard is an interesting idea...but since it's a byproduct of the...

Wow. That's some goal! Looks like SJ is off to the same type of start as last year. I was at the season opener last year where they whipped us at Rexall...I think it was 5 or 6-0 after 1 period and the boos were just raining down. NY's sure having a rough start. Maybe Alain Vigneault...

Decent late game tonight. Luongo and Schneider were as good as advertised - although with the hype during the whole offseason, it was pretty hard for either to live up to the sensational matchup everyone's been talking about for months. I'll live and die with the Oilers, but I'm glad to see...

Thanks for showing us all those pictures...I've heard Japan can be a pretty bizarre place to someone who isn't expecting it. I dig that sort of liquid-looking superstrat too. Interesting that it has a 30th anniversary logo on it - I didn't know there were any 30th anniversaries beyond the...

Pretty cool that they're trying some different stuff. The Vintage Modified Series is great stuff - all the ones I've tried have been great quality and features for something that tops out around 300 bucks. I think I remember seeing that O-Larn (?) Strat being introduced in a regional-only...

I had just about the exact same response as the previous poster about Explorers. I'll admit to being a bit negative towards Gibsons, and I'm still not into the shape, but a kid came into a store I was working at years ago with an Epiphone Goth Explorer with EMGs and I was just blown away. I...

Am I correct in interpreting that you are asking for wiring help? Sorry - I read your post a couple times and I'm not 100% sure. If you are, here's what to do. First, decide which coil you want to use when the neck pickup is split. You can use either - the inner one is a lot more common...

I never had any intention of collecting, but there's something magical about pickups that makes me love to have them around. In the beginning, I'd buy a set and it'd go into a guitar and that'd be it. Then I ran out of guitars and just starting buying and keeping sets around and swapping them...

Interesting issue with the pot. Never heard of that one - was the lug used a whole bunch or something? Maybe there was so much old solder and dirt on it that it wasn't conducting anymore. Either way, good that it's working for you now. About the other problem: Don't quote me on this...

This pickup set sounds like....more money coming out of my account. It's cool to see some more modern pickups appear on the market, for sure. I'm definitely interested in A/B'ing these against the Juggernauts. Also, the rosewood option that showed up and then disappeared off the JP...

You should be able to. Although mono barrel jacks exist, I've yet to ever see a company use them - there's not any advantage over a stereo jack I can think of...except maybe to reduce occurrences of "which prong does which?". I've done a lot of swaps from passive to active pickups in Ibanezes...

Strange - the rosewood option that used to be on the Dimarzio Illuminator 6 page has disappeared. I guess the world wasn't ready.

There's also this version, on page 47/48, which would put it at 1990 or so. The graphic for Saturn has morphed a lot over the years, but this is the only year I've ever seen that didn't have a predominantly green planet, other than whenever the one Neilzord posted was from. I've never seen an...

I think doing PAF Pros in mahogany would be slick. I've done it in a mahogany bodied Ibanez, and it was a great combo to help smooth out the brittleness it has. I've also done it in a BFR JP that helped tame the mids a little too. I've used a Jazz in mahogany, and it was pretty good...

I'll chime in and be another one of those "praise for it" folks. The PAF Pro is quite bright and really cuts through without being a mega gain pickup. DiMarzio says that the mids create a half-cocked wah kind of sound, which is probably the best explanation of what it sounds like. I...

For some reason, that styrofoam packaging just screams early 90s to me. I'd be very interested to hear what those sound like - as an EMG competitor, however short-lived, were they going after the same kind of tone, or was it just the fact that they were active that made the comparison...

I don't really think they're the same animal at all. After two ceramic Nailbomb sets in different guitars, they just weren't for me, although it's been a year since I've last tried them. The biggest thing I noticed is that the mids aren't there. The ceramic version is much more scooped and...
