I hope so too!
Also:
It still has a SHITLOAD of scratches
I used the Dunlop Caranuba wax on the picture. I'm gonna try to use it again, but this time I will warm the wax, so it gets thinner so it can go down the scratches and fill em upAt least that was what my uncle suggested

When playing with your pinky, do you fret the notes with the tip or with the pad? I'm asking this because I'm analyzing my play (I've discovered a lot of things today) and when fretting a note with my pinky, I always fret with the pad.

Can't see shit bro.
In the right light/angle, you can see it all
And I tried heating the wax up, it didn't work that great. But anyways I got amazehn resuslts.

I kinda got the same "I WANT THIS" feeling too but i think i will try to get my hands on a nice White Flying V...preferably Edwards since the Gibsons i've tried really has not shined with their "amazing USA quality" as much as people say they do

A former bandmate has Gibson Faded LP and i thought it was just so mediocre for the price that it was awful! I've tried some Studio Gibsons and such but nothing has really pleased me.

It took me a min to realize that was a reflection in the second picture, I was like "what the fuck am I looking at a computer screen for?" hahaha
Shit looks good!

bass solo, take one
Yup, the pad. I don't think the tone would be the same if you fretted with the tip, not to mention it would be quite uncomfortable.
Speaking of discovering things, I just noticed how much the pick you use can really effect your tone. I tend to like the carbon nylon material over the plastic-y picks like the jazz III. the tone is somewhat smoother. the plastic ones give off a muddy feel.
(oh and I got your pm, you are now added
)

I use the Jazz (III?) shaped tortex picks. I like them way more than the normal jazz III's. The tone is just great with them (like Lowberg said).

I don't really know what are 16th notes, so if you could post a sample GP screenshot for me it'd be great
(yes, I'm a nerd when it comes to terms )Go go! I tried that one some time ago, it drove me nuts
I think it's one of the new 2009 models, so I don't think anyone in here has tried it.

16th notes are 4 notes per beat, or 16 notes per bar in 4/4.
To get a picture of it, most of alexi's solos when he's doing fast alternate picking are around the 180-185 bpm area.
