Nice vids CoCOB.
Yeah, this is a bit random but... My guitar is actually confusing meThe fretboard is supposed to be Rosewood, but hell it's the darkest/smoothest Rosewood I've ever seen. Looks nothing like my Ibanez fretboard.
Looks like ebony, unless my eyes are truly fucked.

yea looks like ebony to me too, or the lighting is just making it look that way, If it is rosewood they must have dyed it
No MM-04 yet
I'm hoping it didn't get lost or something, but then again I donut know the exact date it was shipped so its a surprise!

I made another vid of me playing through the GP-1000, this time playing COB and Sienrgy riffs. It's not perfect because I haven't practised in over a year and haven't played any of these riffs in months so I was making mistakes all over the place, trying to remember this stuff.

Thank you Ben, Muffin and Phoenix. I changed string set up, retuned the strings and and did this 12th/24th fret thing (I dont know the english word). Now the saddles from the E and A string are so much in the direction away from the neck. So when I want to make a divebomb the string lock screws hit the body a the floyd wont go further into the body. Any advices (shorter screws?).

did you remember to screw the floyd parallel to the body prior to tuning/intonating (that's the word you were looking for btw
)?

Thanks for the comments guys!
And Zakk, I seriously have not practised technique with a metronome in about 13 months. I still play everyday of course but that's the only way I keep my technique at the same level. I'm "advancing" the Jason Becker way...playing always at the right speed while slowly increasing accuracy, instead of always playing accurate and slowly increasing speed (which is how I used to do it)
I know alot of people will think the tone is thin but Alexi's tone wasn't that thick on the Sinergy albums, the bass was coming from the bass guitar and drums. Plus, I wasn't using a booster at all, he has a gain/mid boost ontop of having preamp, poweramp, speaker cabs and insane volume.
I have a preamp into a 10W practise amp recorded with my mum's digital camera. It's not going to sound the same...

Here is my cover of Paul Gilbert's "The Gargoyle". Some parts are edited choppy and I didn't want to bother perfecting it (like some of the main riffs slightly out of time). Fairly good tone methinks...
