I drive past the Marshall head office a couple of times a month and always think I should break in one day :D Although I think it's more of a head office and they only do their paperwork in there. I've never owned a Marshall, I have an Engl Blackmore that I never managed to get to sound right...

Hi, I'm an old fart now in my 40's and have lived in the UK for almost half my live. I was born in Hungary, grew up in Germany and started playing in a band in Hungary around 1997. I've always been an Yngwie fanboy. A fellow guitarist borrowed me his Hatebreeder casette and I was instantly...

They are different things. I own two ESP Horizons and there are differences even between those two. I also own an Ibanez Prestige and I love them all but they are different. The Ibanez is like a precision engineers tool, the Horizon is like a weapon of mass destruction :D The thinner neck and...

Esp Horizon for the win!

You can think of the volume pot as a "switch" (it's not a switch of course) with infinite states, that gradually passes the signal off to ground/nowhere. Whereas a switch only has two states, on/off, which would be equivalent to the start position of a volume pot (no resistance), and the end...

Luckily plenty of switches/pots have the same or similar diameter so can be swapped out easily. Depending on where you live, shopping for and finding the correct switch is going to be your biggest problem I think. I just spent almost a day trying to find 22 awg single core shielded hookup wire...

Electronically speaking, any two way switch would do. You could also use a three way switch, and simply not use the 3'rd position so it would be off on 1,2 and on on 3 or something like that. I personally never used the tone knob for anything sensible ever, so have disconnected it in some of my...

Count me in too.

My humble way to remember the Legend

So cool. The guy in the background has probably no idea he was standing right next to Alexi f#*ing Laiho! Imagine that, you're commuting to work and Children of Bodom are just casually waiting around for the tram with you lol

^ Fuck, I almost cried seeing those pictures.

Even though this is Jackson vs ESP thread but I'm kinda interested now in herbal cosmetics. You know, I think I'm going to click that link :D Stupid bots lol

Thanks, and welcome to the forum! The problem is that everything beyond 10's on the higher strings is way too stiff for me. 10's work great for the higher 5 strings, it's only that low G that was causing trouble. I think a 14-80 string gauge would be harakiri my fingers too :D I agree that...

I gave it a spin at work today and it doesn't sound bad at all! It sounds polished and ready if you know what I mean. Perfectly enjoyable. The music also reminded me on Sympony X in places. Well done! There's only one problem though: I didn't get a guest lead this time :D

Glad you clarified that :D Just in case it wasn't obvious enough from your name/avatar/signature. Sabbath was the first "heavy" band I listened to as a kid. I think TYR or Dehumanizer was the one that got me hooked. Strangely, back then I never really appreciated any of the earlier records...
