Epic cover Daniel! I love Norther, probably their best cover - how long it take you to get that down? (learn the song)

Thanks man

Yes I agree, I also dig Youth Gone Wild alot!

Well.. Some minutes? It's only basic tapping and some basic melodies with one sweep.

Ensi why were you jacking off with your whammy bar?

Why not?

oh look, I destroyed BOTH e-strings on my guitar!

How the fuck did you manage to do that?

 

[Corny]

I finally uploaded the two Michael Romeo videos.

[inhe]

Thanks alot for those videos!

I always wondered how he did at the end of Eve of Seduction.

 

[Corny]

You're welcome! And am I the only one who thinks that MR gets a bit pissed off because of the interviewer?

 

[Swabs]

Thanks a lot... That guy is seriously my favourite guitarist at the moment. He needs to do another solo album sometime.

 

[eveningninja]

Such a kickass guitarist. He seems really down to earth as well.

 

[The Emptier]

hell yeah he is! i talked to him for 30 minutes before the show when i saw them, he's suuuuch a great guy! i got some pictures of me and him to

 

[JonWormwood]

Anyone ever hear of relocating the top strap button on an RR to make it more balanced?

 

[the phenom]

^No...? When i let go of my guitar and it's hanging it's not dropping or moving anywhere? It's perfectly balanced.

@Corny: Thanks alot for those interviews. MJR is great!

I also just noticed how his white guitar is really hot. That's probably why i like the Jackson DK2M because it has alot of the same look.

I've heard things like this and may need to undergo something similar myself, but don't have any personal experience with it as of yet. What guitar in specific are you talking about?

 

[the phenom]

I will come out and say this, I think the fucking wiring on my Jackson RR24 must be done by some damn peanutboys who don't know jack. It has caused me trouble twice now. Last night i was playing and i heard it "cutting" the volume sometimes and i knew instantly its those cables that go to the damned battery clip. So i am probably going to throw all electronics to hell from it and replace the pickup with a Seymour duncan TB-4 or something.


What the hell is the difference between TB-4 and SH-4 simply said? What the fuck is F-Spacing?

Oh and this means i will need a new volumepot too. Going to get one of those Göldö ones so it will not crap out.

Too bad that these don't exist:

Yes we know... You've already said this... ABOUT TEN MILLION FUCKING TIMES.

 

[SteveMCsteve]

fucking droooooool................................

they're beautiful.

 

[arvoitus]

Too bad that these don't exist:

Damn, if i EVER wanted a 7 string it would be one of those ...

 

[the phenom]

^They look good but if it isn't fixed bridge it's a nay.

If i ever get a 7 string it will be the Schecter c-7 hellraiser black, what a hottie!
...or even a Loomis w/o FR. Those are damn cheap and good looking too.

....drewl.

Considering these aren't real, you should re-think about your guitar building plans. So do I, haha. I hope I can purchase the first parts in November or December.

What kind of guitar are you going to build? Warmoth Parts?
What pickups and bridge,etcetc?

 

[Corny]

No, not one of Warmoth's kits.

I want to build an Explorer (Gibson styled body) with 24 frets, no floyd, no Potis, only Killswitch for on/off, only bridge PU (I'm crazy for bareknuckle at the moment, but a shop in Cologne currently sells Duncans for 50 Euro), Sperzel locking tuners, matt black finish, no inlays or only at the 12th fret, bolt-on construction. I want to do everything but the fretboard (I'll send it to someone with a CNC machine) by myself.

I haven't decided on the rest so far, I'm still reading a lot of stuff.

I will probably post my progress in a building forum because it may be interesting for other beginners that someone like me dares to do such a difficult thing like guitar building: I have two left hands, I never worked with wood, I know shit about electrics, I never put a pickup in a guitar etc...

So this will be rather exciting

And I don't know yet what wood I should buy: First I wanted to avoid using woods from the CITES list, so alder would have been my choice. But because mahogany seems to be so easy to work with, I probably end up using FSC certificated mahogany for the body and rosewood for the fretboard.



=> A straight-in-your-face-guitar because I always wanted to have a simple guitar and because there are less possibilities to mess everything up.
