I've made a recent acquaintance whom swears by Charvel guitars. He plays in a rock covers band, he's a great player and he knows his stuff. His main axes are a pair of proper 80's Charvels (he let me have a go on one and i have to say it played lovely). Spurred on by this i thought i'd check...
I have a JCM900 1x12 combo. It's been a great amp i would argue that its not as high gain as i'd like and i'm running an MXR Bezerker OD before it to give it some more grunt. I'm considering selling it on and getting something else but it'll really be a wrench to let it go, its not a bad amp at...
That's the thing, its the 1x12 combo version. A good service might spice it up, i'm not really 100% sure though. I'm running the MXR Bezerker OD in front of it and it sounds okish, definitely an improvement.
Its mainly heavy metal, prog stuff really including heavy over-driven drop A stuff and light clean acoustic simulation sections. Really it needs to do home practice and gigs once we're up and running.
This is a bit of a two parter. I've been considering buying a Blackstar HT100. I had a thread up here before talking about my JCM900 and if its giggable and the result was positive, however, i've had a turn of fortunes and the prospect of a nice new shiny modern amp is pretty tempted...
To be honest i just want my JRV-7 and a back up in drop A (hopefully with Aftermaths) and my RR5 and a back up in Probably C standard or Drop A for some In Flames covers for when we play live. I've got other stuff but i wouldn't dream of taking more than 4 guitars to a show and i think that's...
Blaze Bayley after i interviewed him for my website: Herman Li when i just bumped into him at a gig: Gus G after a guitar clinic: I've got pictures with all the SOiL guys too but they're on my girlfriends laptop i'll have to looking for them later. Anyways, all nice...
A friend at work has stripped one of the long locking bolts that hold the string in the saddle on his charvels original floyd rose bridge. He's resigned himself to paying out £200 for a new bridge but I thought I could save him some money and ask you guys if you knew where he could find original...
What the deuce? They break into your home and drink your spirits? I'd break into their home and empty the place to prove a point. If i catch the guy that stole my girlfriends Fireblade, i'm going to break his hands with a lump hammer. I'm not joking.
Epic answer. I had read that i could trim the guard, it seems like its a fairly common thing to do. I had been thinking of getting an opro guard as they look a little bit thinner, i'll try cutting it down and seeing if it solves my problem and get a new guard if it doesn't. I do need to...
Apart from music, my hobbies are motorbikes and muay thai. I've had some time off from the gym (redundancy and a short falling in the bank of me) but with my new job bringing in a decent wage, i'll be going back to my local gym and resuming my training. My plan before i had to stop was to...
To be honest, i was thinking of bodging something together and mailing it to Australi to one of you guys to take him up on his challenge. I reckon i can kitbash a guitar together for £300 that'll put any of his abominations to shame.
