So Ernie, how does this thing sound?

Balls On Parade

is this thing finished yet? I want to see it, asshat or not, JJ builds nice guitars...

at least he not taking that Las Vegas plagiarizer's route of taking other manufacturer's guitars and customizing them to put his own name on them...

Balls On Parade

Flame maple is just a veneer, not thick enough to affect tone at all. The plunky sound is due to the basswood or mahogany body it is made with. That is true, but a set of strings really did make a difference. I think the ones on it were the original and were dead as hell. It's a mahogany body. I'm ...

Keep this honkey in mind, but leave the hardware in it, those Kahlers are expensive as hell to replace! you can keep all of the electronics, though...

BTW, ZZ Top had buckle mounts, didn't strap them...

no, headstocks like the one in AoD's pics above...

Eminence gets a bad rap but IMO they work great for tube amps, are cheaper than Chinese celestions, and are made in America. If you are playing just brutal stuff, I suggest the governors. You should contact emperor cabs about getting one empty because I would not recommend building a cab unless you...

what year is the Vibrochamp? a few years ago one guy had actually put one out for trash a couple of streets over, it was a 1966 that I eventually got $700 for, even with a scratchy volume pot...

Can a Marshall MG15 be modded of higher gain? this thing is only about 60% of where I want it to be...so i hardly ever use it...

Fuck, I've been thinking of assembling a single humbucker Tele with a reverse headstock and FR...looking at the one above makes me want to fucking go apeshit and get started now!

I always liked those tapered Dean headstocks, a buddy of mine had a full sized metallic pearl white (w/ black binding) Dean ML with Dimarzios, set neck, and a Kahler about 20 years ago I wish I had bought from him with this style of headstock...that guitar SMOKED...

not sure, I thought I had read recently that Peavey started reissuing them again (models 1203-4 or 1203-8, for instrument applications)...Eminence speakers, to my experience, sound better with solid state amps, while Celestions and Peaveys usually are engineered for tube heads...the good thing about...

Balls On Parade

get Peavey Black Widows, if you can find them, really punchy, with a lot of presence, no sludge at all, but don't oversize the cabinets, I think the larger Mesa cabinets don't sound all that great...porous frame (sides, top, back) woods absorb too much of the lower frequencies, so if you can build t...

I used to have an original Dean '79 Z USA made...like butter...I was a fool to trade it in, but Explorer-style guitars aren't comfortable to me...

ask CFH Eternal, I believe he bought an Edwards Les Paul some time back and was extremely happy with it...

Balls On Parade

I love Guitar Rig, it sounds way more organic (i.e. turn the gains and overdrives up and you'll actually hear amp hiss and interference noise like the real thing) than Amplitube to me, plus I like the fact that you can choose Mesa, Fender, and Marshall-rendered amps, combine them, run single heads i...

I think it's funny to be a "purist" about a type of guitar.

None of you can really tell the difference, come on now. I can, I have an older Charvel Model 6 and an early Japanese made Jackson Soloist, both with 81's in the bridge...totally different tones, the Charvel has better mids and less lows, while the Soloist scoops the mids a bit more and cranks up t...

If you decide to get another guitar and do not opt for a 7 string, you could always try a longer scale guitar (aka baritone guitar), they seem to have a tighter, more focused tone than putting thicker strings on a normal scaled guitar...

I'm going to recommend giving modeling amps a chance in this thread again. Don't be snobby when looking at musical equipment. :tup: Most of them are still shit/cheap sounding, but like I said, my Valvetronix is amazing, it's about 7 years old though, so I don't know if they're still making them lik...

Now that it's in (or should be, judging by your absence in here), how does it feel and sound?

i was playing one just like that today. in the market for a new guitar and plan to spend around $1500. i'm thinking a real nice used PRS. only gripe is the extremely big chunk of wood towards the end of the neck. You gotta spend at least 2k on a really nice used PRS. The ones at 1500 have a bunch o...

Muscle memory. I generally need a few drinks to really get into playing a show or my mind wanders and I'm overanalyzing everything I'm doing. My coordination and shit doesn't really suffer when I drink, though. I never get stumbly, slurred-speech, or clumsy when I drink. All drinking has *ever* rea...

My amp is so oldschool that it doesn't have a gain control. If you want overdrive you just have to turn it up :lol: I thought you had one of those new Vox amps, unless I'm thinking of someone entirely different. :?

I was going to say here that the stealth came out way before the warrior, but now that I think about it I'm not 100% sure if that's true. Perhaps I'm the fucking moron!!!

How would you compare it to say, the Epiphone LP's or the 70' "pre-lawsui" era Ibanex LP copies? I had an Ibanez SG copy about 15 years ago I wish I would have never gotten rid of (although someone did try to fake it into a Gibson)...

P.S. I use a Metal Zone on bass because it sounds like hippo farts when coupled with my Q-Tron+ but the only thing that's useful for on guitar is disappearing in the mix or that really shrill "nu-metal" sound that needs to die. I dunno, man, I owned a Metal Zone for a long ass time, and i...
