Mpache 672 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Asked for a refund on the interface. Amazon just took too long and continue to lie. So I found a store that could have the same product ready in less than 2 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can usually get around 15-25% off (on the more expensive stuff) if you pay in cash too. Imo it's always better to support good local stores than the big national/international stores. Especially with music stuff - because there's usually a benefit for the customer as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted February 10, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 10, 2021 I tell you what, as a person who enjoys Rick's videos this is stupid. It's just absurd how much the copyright law is broken in the name of money and how they think that a guy who is promoting a band, talking about music technicalities and actually educating audiences is doing something wrong to the point of a copyright strike. Most of these bands started out playing music from other bands. The next logical step is to take interviews from all kinds of musicians and say "oh but you said you listened to XYZ and loved playing their music. Okay, now cough up some $$$ because you used their music to get your first start" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,189 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Wasn’t sure where to post this but... looks like Dave Mustaine is joining Gibson. And it looks like there will be 3 possible models of this signature line: Gibson, Epiphone, and... Kramer. I thought Kramer was a dead brand. I remember seeing second hand models in the 90s. Gotta say... I’m intrigued. I’m usually not big on signature guitars, but I used to want his Jackson model & his ESP (never really played a Dean I liked, so I didn’t care when he went with them). But I think I’ll probably buy one of these. If the Kramer is the pointiest model, that’s probably the one I’ll get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The acoustic actually looks the coolest though. Now to convince my wife that I need one of these 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the middle of their “golden era” they make a sudden turn towards radio friendly rock. Metallica did the same around the same time tbh. His voice now is awful - the last time I saw them live it was so strange compared to the first time I saw them. Still a good live show mind you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Blue 1,901 Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 My new guitar arrived! first thing i did was chuck the stock strings in the bin and fit a nice beefy set of 10's and tuned it to D standard ..the stock Jackson highout pickups sounded a bit dull on my Peavey 6505mh but with my overdrive pedal in front of it they sound hot as fuck, comparable to my EMG 81 actives ..i was going to spend £200 on a new pickup set but this has made me realize that pickups don't really matter that much and the money would be better spent on pedals etc to give you the sound you want ..the Nazgul's do look gnarly though if i just wanted my guitar to look better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpache 672 Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 Today I recorded myself singing some Bossa Nova, and I remember why I stopped music. Or at least looking for a brand new style. It's not because I think I'm bad, but rather because the times I think I sound good, people don't agree, and the times I think I sound awful, people think I sound good. And I can't be dealing with that reverse psychology nonsense. My judgement in this industry hasn't been good, so I've lost all motivation to continue.

Dr. Gonzo 8,189 Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 I picked up my SG for the first time in far too long. The ESP & Jackson have me a bit spoiled, but I forgot how fucking good this guitar is. New strings and a bit of a setup adjustment and...I’m back in love with the fucking thing. The Gibson Dirty Fingers pickups are mental. I don’t know why more guitars don’t have them, I think it’s an absolutely brilliant pickup. Actually quite versatile for such a high output pickup.
