Different strokes for different folks. I use .88 and 1.0 at most. Anything over that and it feels to me like playing with a brick, there's tactile feel.
So where are you buying them from then because i scour the Japanese markets for these very things (+ ESP's and others) and I've not come across anything at those prices for J's and EB's. And no way you can safely ship a high value guitar from Japan to Canada for less than a couple hundred. It...
I have to say, the Agile Interceptor Pro 727 is well worth checking out. I picked one up this year for $500CAD and it's a screamer for that money. Some of the materials are low end and finish is not the best quality, you can feel the multi-pieces of the neck construction through the finish for...
I worked with LP in their early years, Stu taught me the beginnings of sound engineering and i have lots of great memories with them in the early 2000's. Even have engineer credit on some single releases for their second album. It boils my blood when an LP song comes on and i have to skip it...
Genelec 8010A's all day long. Incredibly good monitors for the size, plenty loud enough for smaller space use and very accurate, I recommend them all the time. Compact size, easy to pack up, I've taken them to hotel rooms and offices and they take up little room. A bit heavy but worth it. If...
What really pisses me off with Canadian politics, as an immigrant, is that I pay full tilt Taxes (which i absolutely have no problem with) but I'm not allowed to vote and have a say in how my taxes are used unless i spend $1000 (probably more now since i last checked) to become a citizen which...
Oh i did just get a quote from Vigilant Guitars who are also BC based. A decent spec 7 string came in at $2500CAD which, to be honest makes me a little skeptical as that seems a very low price for a custom build, though admittedly a bit more limited in the custom options compared to others...
Check out Aviator Custom Guitars. They’re not NA based but I’ve imported one to Canada with no issues and it is a fucking great guitar. Full custom job from top to bottom and they have a configurator style website so you can concept your ideas. I have a 6 string and plan to order a 7 when funds...
Fuck yes, it matters and I would hardly call a Fender USA Strat neck chunky at all. Yes compared to a wizard neck there would be a significant difference but in general I find the Fender profile to be pretty middle of the road. A thick, round neck feels horrible and unwieldy to me and I've...
Oh my mistake, sorry. I thought someone in the thread previously said you were with Guitarmory and then went out on your own. Either way I shall be investigating your work ;o)
Wow, I'm glad I saw this thread. I have a set of 'Skerv's' in my Skervesen and are some of the best pickups I've used and recommended them to a few people. Its very disappointing to see they've been shafting people but if the word is that the staff have moved to Elysian then I guess I shall look...
So when I tune my 6 string to F# F# B E G# C#, where does that leave us? Max Cavalera played his 6 strings with only 4 strings on it, doesn't make six strings redundant. Steph Carpenter now plays all his stuff on 7 strings even though everything from White Pony and earlier is all "6 String"...
