    Hard Liquor that's good to mix with coffee?

    Jagertee, by the way, is rum and black tea. So . . . clearly this "coffee" path is the wrong one :P

    The mead thread/blog!

    I know adding fruit is popular and traditional; I just don't like it. I prefer actually tasting the mead. And yes, mead-making would save me tons of money if I drank regularly. I drink a few times a year. Labeling honeyed wine as mead is actually fairly common and similar to the numerous...

    The mead thread/blog!

    Maybe I'm a sellout for actually buying mead instead of making it . . . I love the mead Heiðrun meadery in California makes - mostly sparkling mead (an invention of theirs) made with honey from all sorts of blossoms we can't normally find - including carrot (which makes excellent mead). I'm...

    Thinking about changing my 5150 faceplate, here's some ideas

    5150 board mod somewhat visible. Grating removed, "5150" and "Peavey" removed, skull added. Raccoon? P.S. - Purple EVH yesssss!

    Microtonal Fretted Instruments?

    I think the badness has nothing to do with the temperament/fretting system, but rather the composition of the piece. It's perfectly possible to do a chromatic stepwise chord progression - even microtonally - and have it work out effectively. The problem is that we have the semi-competent...

    Syncopated Death Metal

    Guitar tone isn't bad certainly by the standards of a lot of crap I have to deal with, but it needs some work to sound professional - there's something in the higher range that's annoyingly like a record scratch, and the low end needs some precision and power rather than the flab that's down...

    Strat Trem Replacement Fail: Halp plz?

    So, I have this crappy strat knockoff (a CB, I believe, whatever that is), that I'm finally getting around to renovating as I started to oh, the other year. Unfortunately, when I took out the hardware to strip the paint (I stained it, though the crap wood didn't do but so well it looks decent)...

    Where to order strings for an 8?

    whiny guitarists. [edit: insert teasing tone of voice.] try playing 5-string tuned to C or lower. used to spend $30 a set sometimes. with cheap strings. bloody string companies also aren't any better at getting the right gauges for low tunings on bass. It's nice that D'Addario actually makes 7...

    Help me please!!!!

    If it's quieter with the EQ, is it possible that oh you're taking out too much with the EQ? Don't know your settings or the interface for that unit but you might try increasing the overall level on the EQ unit or putting back some frequencies you're scooping. Though I'm with the general...

    Kayak 6,200 km . . .

    Go to Google Maps. Ask for directions from Toronto to Sydney. No, seriously, just do it. :hbang:

    All's fair in Love and Wikipedia

    Seriously. The fuckheads who made up shit about him not being American? He fucking shipped them a fucking copy of his birth certificate, had experts to verify it and god knows what. Aside from which, who gives a flying fuck?

    If you had a one-way Time Machine...

    Sell it. Seriously, I'd fucking sell it. I bet the government would give me at least a billion, right? I'd be set. Sell it. Seriously, I'd fucking sell it. I bet the government would give me at least a billion, right? I'd be set.

    So this is what I found today in a guitar shop......

    I'm definitely all about the raw neck as well. Oiled wood feels a million times better. Maybe my hands sweat too much.

    Extreme Treehuggers

    These people are like radical Christians except that environmental concerns are really more legitimate than freaking out about how much Jesus loves you. No seriously, I'm on their side, but they need to find a good ritual release that doesn't involve them trying to force their emotions out...

    How tall are you?

    6'1" . . . and if I have problems with the short people who designed the world (residential toilets anyone? I have to kneel), I feel incredibly sorry for real tall people.

    My band is changing to drop c : (

    drop c + "hella brutal" + "breakdowns and shit" = :barf: :idea: : Make your band get sevens! I know the bassist will probably prefer a 5-string to playing in some awkward fucking dropped tuning, drops make sense on guitar and make bass a bitch.
