    The only poll that will/should matter this year

    If I didn't push "Unleash the Fury" for you fucking wanna be shit-posters I'd never hear the end of it, so there ya go.

    Mini-head clearing: JOYO Zombie II/FireBrand, Orange Micro Dark, Ampeg PF350

    Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: JOYO ZoMBie II - Mesa Boogie Rectifier clone in a tiny package; if I had to describe this with one reference: Amon Amarth in box. It's got that early 2000s AA tone, like, Fate of Norns era and Obituary. Not the cleanest, most pristine tone, but it's...

    NGD: Black, Jack(son) Black

    Nothing overly exciting, as I mentioned in the 'Next Purchases...' thread my Cabronita is OK but wasn't really jiving with me like my other Tele does, doesn't have that same "WOW!" factor so I made the executive decision to list it in favor of something else. And then that something else arrived...

    Best shops for refinishing?

    Looking to finally commit my Cabronita to it's fate of a refinish, the sunburst does nothing for me, and in general that paintjob feels thick as hell compared to the rest of my guitars, so it's time for it to go. I'm looking for someone who can do a basic strip/refinish in a standard color for...

    Bill Kelliher unveils new signature Mojotone "Hellbender" pickup

    Surprised to see this come out of nowhere, I had no idea Bill was using any Mojotone pickups - last I heard everything he had was loaded with SD Distortions - not crazy about the overall sound honestly. Little too compressed and thin for me, very dry sounding; but I'd be curious to hear other...

    BGD: Another Cabronita for the SSO Cabrons

    Came in Friday, you've all seen them before so let's not act like it's anything unusual. As I said in the other thread, the mods planned are: black bridge, new tuners (recommendations on one that fit baritone gauges much appreciated), Dimarzio Super Distortion/Virtual P90 bridge and neck...

    Dark Country/Western music?

    After watching The Hateful Eight this weekend, I'm looking for more stuff like Daisy's cover of "Jim Jones at Botany Bay", Nancy Sinatra's "My Baby Shot Me Down" also has a similarly retro-yet-dark vibe in my opinion, maybe something similar to Justin Johnson's resonator/dobro/pedal steel work...

    Job Dilemma - Stay with New vs. Back to Old

    Hey y'all, got a situation I need some outside advice on. I left my previous engineering firm that I had been at since 2015 back in April for a smaller satellite branch of another firm; at my last company, I had worked my way up the ranks pretty quickly in the Electrical department, and was the...

    NGD: ESP M-II w/ Duncans - Where for art thou...

    This whole ordeal started because I was listening to old Bodom tracks and having Floyd/V GAS. Then as usual I remembered why I don't like V's (awkward sitting position, bad jack placement while sitting, bad balance due to strap pin location, etc) and sure enough was able to talk myself out of...

    NGD: My name ain't Billy

    But holy fuck do I love this Squier. I not too long ago posted about picking up an Les Paul Custom after my GAS made the rounds from basically every model under the sun. However, this was very short-sighted of me as I've owned Epi LPCs in the past and always end up moving them because they...

    New Amon Amarth single is out

    Nothing ground-breaking here, I like it more than anything off Jomsviking, but I'm not sure how much is left in the AA tank at this point.

    NGD: Tried and True

    With this purchase, I become one step closer to solidifying my position as 'white budda.' Shaved head? Got it. Beard? For sure. Axe FX? Yup. Les Paul? See below. But seriously, no fancy story here, I feel more comfortable on single cuts with my Eclipse but wanted something that wasn't the...

    NGD: Christmas Bonus Pt. II - New Jack(son) City

    No extravagent story here like with my EHB's NBD, I was just in need of another axe at the level of my EC1000 and despite all my attempts at looking through ESPs catalog, nothing really landed for me. A LOT of models would occupy some space in the ol' brain for a hot minute, but I went from...

    NBD: Christmas Bonus Pt. I

    Unintentionally long winded post incoming Until this year I had had the same two basses for the past 5 years, an Ibanez EDB600 and EDB605; one a four string, and then it's five string counterpart. Earlier this year I also picked up a P-bass to fill that aesthetic, and it became my main player...

    How do you prioritize tunings?

    I've got a new purchase planned for an Arctic Metal series M-HT, and I've been debating on which tuning to put it in. My EC-1000 covers me in E Standard, and my EC401 is dropping down to D Standard; naturally my thought was to put the new one in C Standard as a Doom and Melodeath machine, but...

    Converting amp head to rack unit?

    Has anyone here done it, and if so, what did it entail? We've all seen people convert from combo units to separate cab and head, but I'm curious as to how much work it'd be to ditch a headshell and just make a 1U out of each of the lunchbox amps I've got around here (two Joyos + one Orange...

    FS Line6 POD HD500

    Brief & Accurate Description of gear/guitar: Just your standard floor version of the Line6 POD HD500 - no frill, no bells, no whistles. Bought it as a practice rig, but I don't use any of the effects or past one or two presets, so just looking to simplify. Modifications (if any): None...

    SG pickguard compatibilty/swapability

    The long and short of it is this: I picked up an Epi G400 a couple weeks back, and I'm a purely rhythm player, so I was thinking about taking the neck pickup out and doing an SG JR pickguard to cover up the hole; no mess, no fuss, just a straight cover on top and no one would know. I've been...

    Belated NBD: It's a Christmas miracle!

    Cross-posting, sue me The TL;DR version is this: Found an ad online for a Warwick Rockbass for a fucking steal of a price ($250 in great condition, with case too), and the ad the dude wrote for it was apparently so tongue in cheek people didn't think it was actually for sale - they thought he...
