The Omen is Schecter's entry level 7, it's pretty basic but not a bad guitar for the price by any means. The main difference between it and the Extreme is the Extreme has a mahogany body, whereas the standard Omen is basswood, and also it has a coil tap on the tone knob (if it makes a...
If your budget is $800 and you want to buy from Australia your best bet is probably Schecter. I've never really looked at the used market but if you found something there then that's an option too, although if you want to go new then other 7s are pretty expensive, for example when I was...
Just heard them play the new song yesterday at Soundwave, "The Darkest Day Of Man" I think is what Phil said it was called. I can't be too sure but I recognised a couple of riffs from the blogs, mainly the riff Ben is recording at 1:55 in the guitar blog and I definately heard the intro to the...
Same here, Bleed was absolutely spot on :metal: Probably my favourite bit of their set though was that huge open F after the clean bit in Lethargica, much headbanging ensued :hbang: BTW Alex you looked ferocious during your set, I wish you played Father Of Lies though :noway:
Winston said that it was going to be really heavy, do you think that in turn that will mean the album will be less melodic than Horizons? I really liked that side to them and the sound they had on Horizons so (IMO) it'd suck to see less of that
I think it's cool that they play 6s, it shows that they know they don't need to get an 8 String to achieve their sound and style. Plus I imagine if they did get 8s that many people on here wouldn't be too happy about it :nono:
I did a search and couldn't find this anywhere here, thought some people might be interested in it Also, a live clip of a new song in case it hasn't been posted here From what he said it sounds like it should be good, I just hope they don't go overboard with breakdowns like they usually do :ugh:
The show is a sideshow Meshuggah's doing while they're in Aus for a festival, but most of the bands on the lineup are stuff like My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, All Time Low, etc. so they really stick out like a sore thumb. I guess after Whitechapel they couldn't find anyone else that...
I've been looking recently too, all I could find were two photos from the video shoot so I guess there is one somewhere. It seems odd that they wouldn't post it on their myspace or on youtube though
Thanks Ellen, I completely agree! I was trying to choose between this and the Omen Extreme, but there were none left of the Omen so I went with this, also I wasn't too sure if I'd eventually get sick of the finish on the Omen (yes it's gorgeous, but still), whereas black is a fairly neutral...
This is actually my first guitar with actives in it as well, so I'm still playing around with my amp settings to see how I like them. As TheSilentWater said, they are very high output, not to mention the extended scale makes a difference in the sound too. @TheSilentWater: Haha I took the...
Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a few months now, I didn't want to sign up until I was officially 'one of you guys', and for christmas I finally got my first 7. Since there isn't much new to choose from in Australia and I can't order online, I pretty much had a choice between this, the...
