i listened to ..

LINKIN PARK

i have to ask this, how high you like your gain? in terms of your personal tone.......

My Personal tone? Zakk's JCM800 + ZW44..... that's my type of crunch
High gain from the amp, boosted extra by the pedal.

anywhere from 50% to 70%.
too much gain and all the notes from my high output pickups start losing definition.

low crunchy tone for me...very low mid and gain at 7-8

wow all so high,

my gain only at 3-5 and my mid is at 6-7...i love it clean with a slight buzz to it

with my gibson high output pickups, i just have to hit the strings hard to get a nice buzz to it on clean

sorry, i'm a bit late to reply to the "limp bizkit" thinggy...

the full title is "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water". Starting from that, whether it's starfish or starship.. it could be anything really, it wouldn't give more sense to the whole sentence anyway...!

and huuu... i used to listen to MC Hammer, Public Ennemy and a lot of terrible rap music... it was in the early nineties and everything back then was totally OLD SKOOL. I have no idea why I was listening to that, I was a very shy and "classic" nerd... Sepultura and Nirvana were my first steps into rock music, that was in 95 I think. Limp Bizkit, that was in 2000/2001, and mostly in my car, full blast.

Yup it's Chocolate Starfish...

Pix listening to Limp Bizkit.

i was mostly listening to wes borland !!
GRRRR... and so WHAT ?? can't pix be hiphop and nu-metal too ??

Not with a Peavey Classic amp he can't

need help,i've got an ibanez distortion pedal but its not working already.last time i unscrew it and 1 small metal piece thats attached to the screwdriver fell off and i couldn find it.i couldn use it with batteries anymore.i can only run it with an adapter,any solutions?

Hey, Public Enemy was cool . . . esp when they did 'Bring the Noise' with Anthrax.

And yea, I have to own up about MC Hammer too . . .

Really true? I'm not a Fender nor Gibson freak so I never really knew things were this bad. I just know some basic facts that there was some slump in the 70's and 80's in the quality of guitars put out by these two companies. as well as pre-CBS fender's was the golden era afterwhich it went downhill. I know Fender's QC is a bit of a random thing, but are Gibson's really that bad nowadays?

just to let u all know, the crate powerblock will be in a few months time.

Then again you look at the pre-CBS Fender... the pickups were inconsistent and the bodies & neck were made with whatever they had in the factory etc...

I've never played a modern Gibson guitar, but for the price you pay, you would expect something flawless. Apparently that doesn't exist in Gibson anymore. How sad...

available where?
thats an amp right?

Blah. waiting for either a proper Mesa/Boogie dealer or a Randall dealer.....
TUBES BABY!!!!!!!!

the way that article is written sounds like the guy is pissed off at the ppl who run trade shows, most probably cos he cant afford his dream guitar at the shows.
afterall, why go to a trade show if you're not gonna trade/buy?

some of the new gibsons are crap tho.
as for vintage fenders, well obviously again cant expect perfect condition.
what draws ppl to vintage are the necks and the pickups.
the feel of a nicely played neck, the pickups that have lost abit of that magnetism making them sound sweeter etc etc.
thats why there are relic series.
also my friend has both a '62 and '64 strats, both are in very playable condition.

as for that 'frets nail filing' thing on the gibson, that i wont believe.
the owner of that shop has a right to return the item back to gibson if they chose to do so, but obviously they did not.
which makes you wonder if they're talking crap or not, cos that guy seems to be a prs lover.
would you keep a expensive instrument if theres a defect in it? or return it right away to the manufacturer?

The Guitar Store is a Randall dealer according to their website. As for Mesa Boogie, last I heard, Bentley is seriously considering it.
