Thanks! I've been meaning to change my username for a long time - I started using this in 99 when I got my first Warwick, but it's almost two years since I sold my last one. I just can't think of anything else.

i love birthday presents

a friend gave me this (or one of these to be accurate) to mark my quarter of a century crisis.

I actually play on it more than my other guitars because it plays so much differently. I would suggest that anyone stepping into the intermediate level of playing guitar that doesnt want to spend more than a few hundred on a guitar to get one of these because its great fun.

Still wont compare to my previous post itt..

Since I purchased my own home and no longer live in an apartment this morning I'm finally ditching the world of electronic drumming and buying my first acoustic kit. I absolutely can not wait. Electronics are cool and all but man, I've just wanted the volume and sound of acoustic for years.

Edit: Considering I have a good amount of money right now I almost considered buying the Tama Warlord Exotix series from Guitar Center. Only $6499! Unfortunately the finacee saw things differently and I'm buying something a bit more cost efficient.

But how can you compare to this? Oh god, all that bubinga...Maybe I still will buy it. She'll never realize the difference ;)

ZVEX Fuzz Probe, basically a fuzz factory with a theramin-type plate that you can tweak with your foot while playing.



It's bigger than I thought it would be, so here's a comparison shot next to my trusty old MT-2.



I've managed to create some awesome sounds with a little feedback or a harmonic, but I can't make it do anything interesting while I'm actually playing. Maybe I need a little more time with it.

Overall I'd say it's probably not worth the extra cash over a Fuzz Factory, but I'm not going to trade it now I've got it.

Since money seems to be of little object to you, you should try and buy a set with floortoms and rack toms that just attach to a stand, as opposed to having the 3 legs for them. If you gig a lot, the legs get so loving annoying!

I just aquired a Casio(!) MG 510 from the 80's. It doubles as a MIDI controller, although the tracking is a little inaccurate. The guitar plays very well, apparently assembled in the Ibanez factory in Japan. I was skeptical until I pulled some elite google research and found a picture of Eric Johnson holding one. SOLD!

Man that is a sweet firebird.

I got an EMG 81/85 set today that I plan on getting put on my jackson rhoads tomorrow and im looking for a new disto/overdrive pedal because mine sucks. Any suggestions would be appreciated, I was looking at the Zakk Wylde overdrive but anything else would be cool (I play a range of music from ac/dc to megadeth etc, I play in a thrash metal band atm so something with a lot of bite while keeping the tone is what i'm after).

As a person who has two floor toms on one stand with no option for legs (they're suspension mounts) and plays a lot of shows OH GOD do I wish I had individual legs for both toms. It's so much easier and quicker to move. If you try to load up on stage with the two floor toms already mounted you're eventually going to gently caress up the stand. It's just going to happen when you have to hurry... legs get twisted around, collars will strip out the rolled pin that holds them in place, the screw that holds the legs in place will eventually strip... it just happens eventually. Next set I buy will be individually-legged floor toms for sure!

that's all my professional oppinion of course... :D

You're mostly paying for those ridiculous double-sided lugs&tuning rods they put on now. Tama kind of pissed me off and went the way of Pearl within the last year or two... See also: gimmicky. :( I'm seriously contemplating selling off my starclassic and ordering a smaller, fully custom set. That being said, it is a really pretty loving set and I'm glad Tama finally changed their ugly-rear end suspension mounts.

Electro Harmonix Metal Muff w/ Top Boots distortion pedal. Reallly good tone and sound and i fell in love with it after about 10 minutes of playing and testing other pedals.
I think this will be my new perma-disto pedal from now on.

This little box is worth many times the two hundred it retails for. Coupled with an FMR RNLA (next on the shopping list) and an NCC-1701 rack tray, it makes up a 1U-sized compressor-expander combo. (picture has two RNCs mounted)


T.Mix TX1002


In the price range of similar Behringer mixers but the sound isn't as wonky. I needed something to go between a pedal chain or synth and my audio interface, since the FA-66 is in my opinion way too oversensitive.

the wiring on the bridge pickup is damaged, but using both the piezo and remaining mag pickups make for a very unique sound.

the neck is something else, though. very fast, and all the frets are perfectly crowned even after approx. 10 years of use.

I love the "really nice" button but can't help wonder what it does. Where did you get it and where can I find one? The compressor on my Eureka is good and all but I am looking for something a little tighter.
