I've owned both the 81/60 set and the Painkiller. 81/60 will definitely do the metal job, but it's that same old EMG sound you can get from various guitars. Painkillers are much more interesting with its fire breathing mids and very powerful, tight lows.
The difference is not much but I feel EB sounds livelier about the first two weeks but rusts easily (I've seen 10+ packs that already have brown spots from Day 1. D'addarios last longer and stay more consistent.
I still have this issue with my 5153 50 watt I bought in 2015. It's a really loud POP both when switching channels and turning effects on/off. The dealer suggested this could be to my country's less than stellar electricity etc., but I suspect that it's due to a faulty tube or something. I...
I just recently got my Luke III BFR this July having ordered in November 2015. So about 8 months wait time for me being in Thailand. The dealer told me to expect about 6 month wait but also not to hold my breath on that since EBMM doesn't give anyone a build status update! The thing had a...
I went to ESP's main guitar outlet in Osaka this April 2016. Great selection to die for and the sales were very nice. Japanese do love their guitars! They are not cheap either. I've attached a few photos from the shop. not the MII-7 but other models. They are all around 200,000 JPY, that's...
It will never add up because the case tricks you by confusing cost with asset. 49(Mom's expense)+49(dad's expense)+1(asset) = wtf In terms of cost (who paid money) ; Mom 50 + Dad 50 + You 0 = 100$ In terms of asset (value) ; Pedal 97 + Mom change 1 + Dad change 1 + Your change 1 = 100$...
Cheers guys. This weekend I went and bought myself a 500GB SSD :) Will connect it in soon. Thinking of using this as my OS drive but will need to go through a clean Windows install hmm.
Have been on and off FO4 since the releases. 100 enjoyable hrs in now but a few things have been nagging me. Guys, how long are your loading times? I'm enduring something like 45 seconds and it's really getting to me.
Thanks all. I just pulled the trigger yesterday for a BFR in blueberry burst :) I hesitated for a while because the neck really is narrower than what I'm used to, which kind of cramps my hand, but I'm quite sure I can adapt my grip to that. This guitar really promotes precision playing. Also I...
Five years ago my younger Jackson-wielding self was actually looking at the EBMM Axis for the exact reason :lol: Nice guitar man. All my metal-oriented guitars all have extra jumbo frets and fixed bridge/floyds so I don't really want another one. I'm kind of excited to try getting used to...
Cheers mate. Tomorrow I'm going to the store to try it out one more time. If all goes well I might pull the trigger :) Like you said, I'm thinking about getting a Strandberg in the future if I want another guitar for metal. I don't need my guitar to be a jack of all trade. From the last time I...
