Which is weird because the last Horus I played, I hated.

It would appear I have a thing for these types of guitars now.

It was around the time Caparison started to get attention so around 2005 I think. From what I remember, sharp fret ends, very dry rosewood board and the pickups weren't that great either. For £1799 I thought it was dreadful.

However I like the look of the new stuff so I'd be willing to give them another chance.

The pickups still aren't that great :-/

I want a baritone 7 string iceman. They don't exist. Only the standard scale.. I like that flat black oiled charcoal finish the mashugah signatures have.. I was gonna build one but I couldn't find a body. Only a neck through warmouth for a 6 string.. So I just had Carvin build me a murdered out flat black DC7X. Still waiting on it to arrive..

Saving up for one of these bad boys right now

mesa_boogie_dual_rectifier_solo_head.jpg

Not sure what kind of music you play.. Just wanted to give you a heads up.. I play metal. We tune to drop G#. I play a baritone 7 now.. But I have 2 recto cabs. LOVE those. I like a real djenty crunch with lots of clear bottom end, good harmonics and articulation.But I went through 4 heads before I found one that sounded right. One of the old solid state laney stereo heads, an orange rockerverb 100, A triple recto and a 6505+. I went with the peavey. Its the only head that sounded heavy and sounded good without a pedal. I don't use any distortion pedals and my tone is so ....ing brutal. Plus the peaveys are indestructible. We tour so it had to be reliable.. I had some work done on it to make the clean channel sound better and it has more sustain now.. That was 70 bucks worth of work. Now its perfect. But I digress. What I was getting at is the Mesa heads are made VERY well. But they are noisy as .... and sound like complete shit imo. I was so bummed. The EQ is not responsive at all. My peavey 120w is louder on 2 than the mesa is on the 150w setting turned way up.. And the more you turn them up the noisier and shittier they sound. The crunch is garbage. You can probably get a decent sound out of them with a bunch of pedals and EQ. Or a fractal. But right out of the box the Peavey smashes it.. I use a decimator. Thats it.. For the cost of a triple you can get a peavey 6505+ and a recto cab. Think hard about it man.. Just my 2 cents..

Parker has my complete and full attention right now. I'm dying for a Mojo in this color:

And this in any damn color.

If I had to pick one, the Parker 7 would take the cake.

Oh, and this nifty little thing:

Those parker mojo's play and sound great but its got the be the ugliest damn guitar I have seen next to a stienburger. That body shape and head stock.. Reminds me of flock of seagulls.. LOL

Since there aren't any really enticing Steinbergers being produced currently my GAS has shifted to a Carvin Holdsworth in Ferrari Red.

I never liked these or the steinburgers. These are about as ugly as the parker mojo's.. hahaha Flock of seagulls, tears for fears.. hahaha total 80s.. Carvins are the shit.. I just ordered a carvin DC7X..

But hey,. who am I? Im just another bozo on the bus
