    NGD - Strandberg Sarah Longfield 8

    My first Strandberg, and first ERG in a long time. I'm loving the endurneck and the multiscale, but not so much loving that the neck pickup is hella noisy in voicing one. Pulling the tone pot up to go to voicing two kills the noise.

    NGD: Most notorius or infamous guitar ever?

    as far as the horror movie stuff. Jason Voorhees is fantasy. He didn't kill six fucking million Jewish people. Richard Ramirez also raped little kids. His story is academically interesting, but I'm not wearing a shirt with his face on it.

    NGD: Most notorius or infamous guitar ever?

    That's outlawed in Germany, and I hope you don't have any Jewish friends. I love a lot of Jeff's writing, but the edgelord nazi stuff is just cringe anymore. some people saying "erasing history" like anyone is gonna forget about wwii because they haven't seen any nazi symbolism in a while. ugh

    Another mass shooting in America

    It's unfortunate to see another tragedy like this... However, violence actually IS on the decline in the US and has been for years, so there is something to the notion that we just hear about it more often because everything is reported immediately. FBI — Table 1

    New Pick Day???

    I ordered the sampler pack a little while back. They're really cool, but I didn't gel with them. I'm too lazy to modify my technique to get rid of the chirpiness. They are fast, though, really really fast.. I should probably start a thread about that Red Bear that I just got in the email, though...

    Teenager Jailed for Posting Rap Lyrics on the Internet

    Honestly, most (all) pop music isn't about politics. It's not confined to rap, nor a specific subculture. A lot of people don't want to listen to serious music, and that's their call. There is however, a huge segment of hip-hop that isn't gangsta, and is politically informed. Just like in rock...

    Teenager Jailed for Posting Rap Lyrics on the Internet

    They were actually his own lyrics. There's some videos of his "artistry" to be found on youtube. If you wanna dig them up, that's entirely up to you. I watched one that was attached to one of the news stories. It's about what you'd expect.

    Teenager Jailed for Posting Rap Lyrics on the Internet

    Neg-repped and called a jerk for saying "I don't know that this kid deserves to be charged with terrorism", because apparently that implies that he *should* be charged with terrorism? lol The school got 40 complaints from students about his post. Being that his peers (and by proxy, their...

    "The average price of a good pedal is now around $300." How do you feel about this?

    As evidenced by the Klon Centaur that's on Ebay right now with 12 bids at over $1200. For those of you who might not know, it's an overdrive.:rolleyes: I do think that the $300 median is a little high. For example, Earthquaker Devices makes really nice, hand-built pedals, and most of their...

    Eleven Rack Thread

    I picked up the 11r a couple months ago. New versions do come with expansion pack, and with pro tools 11 (I got PT10, because 11 wasn't out yet). There is an editor available called Eleven Hack that allows you to load presets without Pro Tools, but I haven't tried it. I got a price match from...

    NGD! Another black rg8

    For the questions about the action, here's the manual from Ibanez. Top string, usually E (Eb from the factory) should be about 1.5mm off the 14th fret, low string should sit at about 2.5mm. That's not as low as you would think, and with the higher tension of the longer scale, it might take a...

    Tried an LTD H308

    I like suspense, or my browser was being stupid. One of those.

    Tried an LTD H308

    When I picked up my RG8, I was kind of debating between the Ibby and some of the LTD offerings. I've had some ESP/LTD stuff before and have always been really impressed with the quality for the money. Anyway, I was at the local GC and they had exactly one 8 string on display, and LTD H-308. I...

    What could possibly go wrong?

    They won't be allowed to carry on their person unless the school allows it. The law only applies to their cars. "Lawmakers in Texas approved a bill on Sunday that will let college kids possess guns on campus so long as they keep them in their vehicles" I can't see a lot of schools allowing...

    Teenager Jailed for Posting Rap Lyrics on the Internet

    Maybe the whole quote will help. The petition site forgot one part that the kid posted on Facebook: "[Expletive] a boston bominb wait till u see the [expletive] I do, I'ma be famous rapping, and beat every murder charge that comes across me! [sic]" You post something like that nowadays and...

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Anyone else catch this part? "The new law will require that universities allow properly licensed gun owners to keep their weapons in their vehicles, although universities can still prohibit people from openly carrying weapons to class."

    DR strings 8 string packs

    You'd need to tweak the truss rod, especially if you're coming from stock strings. I hope you don't bend much, cause that would be a nightmare. The sustain would likely be epic, though. :hbang:

    Let the RG8 Mods begin...

    If you have any places that build custom furniture or cabinets near you, check with them. I used to work in a cabinet shop, and we almost always had veneer scrap in big enough pieces to do a top left over from doing cabinet doors. I topped a strat with flamed koa just because I could. Plus...
