"Not Worth its own thread" Thread

[Ordacleaphobia]

Reverb has recently started marking used guitars as "on sale" from "typical new price" which is stupid slimy garbage and I hate it

It's been all downhill since the Etsy acquisition and I think we all saw that coming.
The difference is really stark, though. I used to buy/sell gear all the time because Reverb made it so easy. I avoid it like the plague now.

These Indian Jacksons are junkaroony, right? I've previously bought from the woman selling it before and she always sets her stuff up niiiice. Just making sure I'm not missing out on anything here.

Has been gone through, and cleaned. Plays like a big cream puff. Incredible workmanship, quality of materials. Has brand new D'Addario 10/52 strings. Really nice guitar. If you send an email that...

What about one above your rig?

It might just be time to start back up that time honored tradition of "Where's jaxadam and his Monster?" thread.

Might even be better than your MC UV but jury is still out on that one (jumping over a monster truck while doing two backflips).

...but then you have to pay to get the logo on your tonneau cover?

Seems inconsistent.

I've been looking for this performance for forever but I was totally blanking on who the guys involved were, just vaguely remembered the star power, but definitely forgot it was Dream Theater. Many interesting choices...

To think that Dave Mustaine was once some band's lead player...

"Polaris Dawn". Cool.

Anybody use 9s in standard?
Been thinking I should come down from 10s lately

 

[SalsaWood]

I'm moving back from 10's to 9's. I play with a dropped 7th string and am doing it strictly for reasons of intonation, though.

 

[tedtan]

I’ve used a 9-46 set (9s on the plain strings and 10s on the wound strings) for a long time and find it gives the best balance of tension in standard tuning.

So try 9s and if the wound strings feel a bit light, go with a mixed set.

 

[Crungy]

I prefer 9's on 6 string guitars for standard/drop D. I'd probably use that for D standard/drop C as well, I'm not too picky.

I'd probably use a 9 set for a 7 string if Ernie Ball made Cobalt sets like that.
