    For all you MAGIC the gathering and DnD nerds out there!

    There’s absolutely some great dungeon synth out there - really does work well as background music.

    StevenC went to Japan and all he got was this lousy guitar

    That is a lovely guitar and it's doing my 8-string GAS no favours whatsoever... but mostly I came into agree that Helsinki airport absolutely rules.

    New Metal Music Thread

    This technically dropped at the end of last year but I think the physical copies have just gone out so I’ll claim it’s new. Either way, it rules.

    The Strat thread

    There's 100% something about Strats. I know people here often rail on the heel, or the position of the knobs, but I'm not sure there's anything more comfortable than a good Strat, somehow. Anyway... 2015 US Ash Deluxe - currently fitted with some SD Antiquity Texas Hots. Super lightweight...

    Gibson files against Dimarzio for PAF and double cream

    Dimarzio had something to do with Kinman being hard to get hold of, I think?! Not sure of the specifics, but this definitely feels like a case where everyone is as bad as each other. That said, I hope nothing comes of it because you just know the prices of used Dimarzios will skyrocket as...

    NGD - Singlecut content

    Pic first, as per standard etiquette: Took delivery this week of this 2001 PRS Singlecut. Convoluted story incoming. So this was a bit unexpected, but seemed too good to pass up. Despite claiming to be happy with everything that I currently own - and definitely being a bolt-on Strat guy at...

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    Accidentally bought a lawsuit-era PRS Singlecut that cropped up at a silly price this week so once that arrives I think I’ll need to hold off purchasing anything for a while. Tempted by one of the new Boss amp/IR pedals, though I might just pick up a Katana finally and be done with it. Every...

    Few questions about the Ibanez AZ series.

    I second this. I’m much more of a Fender guy and not normally super-keen on Ibanez necks, and even I thought the AZ profile was utterly massive.

    High gain tube preamps…

    Without meaning to derail the thread, what headphones are the mostly-headphones guys using? I’ve been looking at picking up a new pair of cans to support some thin-walled-apartment noodling…

    What's your favorite neck pickup?

    I’m just going to echo a lot of comments above and go with the Cold Sweat or Dimarzio 36th depending on situation. Also enjoy a Dimarzio Heavy Blues 2 for some pseudo-single coil action.

    Fender's new high-end modeler; Tone Master Pro

    Nice to see some more FRFR options out there. I mean, I’m probably just going to buy another set of studio monitors for my living room, but I’m all for more choice.

    Does this trade sound fair?

    My approach to trades is usually to try to abstract it from monetary value and think about it purely as ‘do I feel like I’m getting ripped off here’ and go from there. It’s not an exact science. People will argue til the cows come home whether ‘trade value’ is different from a cash figure, and...

    Dealbreakers. What are yours?

    Oh yeah I can get in on this as well, despite having claimed to not be an aesthetics guy a few posts ago. I’m a huge G&L fan, but the Caribbean rosewood they’ve been using on their US production stuff of late just looks bad.

    What bands did you see live recently / are waiting to see?

    Caught the Manchester leg of this tour last Wednesday and had a blast, even with no Shane and seated-Barney. Also saw the Archspire/Psycroptic/Benighted/Etheos show on Friday. Crowd was super-intense throughout, which was ace - though I thought Archspire sounded vaguely odd, bit of a quiet mix...
