    Making enough noise.

    I had thought it was just an image thing. I had been considering buying an uber budget valved half stack ie White Horse 60W Tube Guitar Amp +4x8 Cab at Gear4Music.com I like my marshall though, if its good enough i'm not going to bother replacing it.

    Making enough noise.

    At home, i play through a JCM900 Combo amp. I've been wondering if that will be enough of an amp to gig with. Every time i go to see live bands, they always seem to use head and cab half stacks or full stacks. I've never once seen someone gig a combo. What's the deal?

    Essential pedals

    I'm just dragging the thread back out of its grave. My girlfriend bought me the Zakk Wylde OD for my birthday, so the metalcore has been retired to my old gear bag. Its definitely a clearer sound, there's a hell of a lot less unwanted sound and feedback. Downside is that i feel a bit exposed...

    Motorcycle Thread

    Typically, 500's are underpowered. There's the GPZ, CB500, ER5 and GS500. I would say if you're going for a good entry level, the SV650 is the way to go. I wouldn't be afraid of 600 sports bikes. If you're worried about comfort and something not too aggressive, the Yamaha Thundercat and the...

    Majorly bad deal with forum member Wayward

    Not that i'm condoning violence but i'd be getting some loosely acquainted people to pay him a visit with blunt instruments.

    Weapons thread...

    I've got a couple of training bokken but apart from that, i just train in muay thai kickboxing. When i was young i used to do sports shooting with a .177 air rifle. It's not really in the same league though...

    Warhammer 40k Megathread

    I've played 40k, fantasy and mordheim, my girlfriend bought the limited edition dreadfleet box last year and i love the idea of inquisitor. Fantasy is my game really but 40k was my first love. Dark Angels are the tits, i'm really looking forward to the new boxed game, the new HQ models look...

    Got to agree on the V-twinness! I've had a few bikes, started with a TZR125, had a short lived club racing career on an FZR400, upgraded the TZR to a GSXR400 because i blew it up (bloody two-strokes). The GSX lasted 9 days then i punted it into a bus stop, i was 18 and stupid and 60mph over the...

    The Weirdest Shit Just Happened

    Yeah, as said, sleep paralysis. I have trouble sleeping too, i think its something that's pretty common these days. It's a real shame really, its like the way average life is these days stresses everyone out one way or another. I feel for you man.

    Your Dream Guitar...

    The Pro X Mockingbird is more or less exactly what I would order from the custom shop 6-string wise. I'd love them to bring the Wanderer back, I might finally find an explorer shaped guitar that has all the features I want in a guitar. I'd love an explorer with 24 frets, ebony fretboard, neck...

    The Sad State of Troy's Day

    My take on this one, is that these days the vast majority of people are lazy. Now, UK guys, can you honestly say that on a daily basis you don't have your field of visions saturated by barely intelligent, barely literates, lazy, no-hopers whom couldn't care less about anything more than where...

    Post pics ofr your Paul Reed Smith's!

    Mr Girlfriend has an Akesson SE. I'm really impressed with it, well worth the money, great sound, very light and comfortable. I can hear it in the background at the minute while i'm typing, the better half is learning Sounds of a Playground Fading on it.

    I prefer the new Opeth

    I was never much of an Opeth fan. I never really gave them a chance and i'm now going through their back catalogue. I had the pleasure of seeing them on the Heritage tour last year and was completely blown away by them. I think regardless of whether they play the heavier side of music such as...

    Progressive live stuff

    and the AC-3 is about the only one? Shame, i guess that's settled that purchase for me then. I like the idea of stands and extra guitars but i simply A.) Can't afford it B.) Can't afford it and C.) Can't guarantee i'll have space in venues for it on stage. I hate being largely poor. Don't...

    That's annoying, none of those are for floyd rose trems.

    Progressive live stuff

    I've heard of bridge mounted piezo's but i don't fancy swapping the pick-ups out of my BC Rich unless i'm swapping them for BKP's. I'm going to google those other bits to find out more about them. This is new to me.

    Progressive live stuff

    Basically i'm in the process of writing some music with a few friends of mine. It's going to be a progressive effort, written on 7-strings. In my head i'm feeling dropping from heavy overdriven metal to acoustic breaks and harmonies. My problem here is for ease of use on stage, i think it would...

    Thomas Jane gets it, that'd be an awesome way to bring the Punisher to the screen properly.
