    Friedman Modifications Experience

    Yes. Not only did I have a good experience with sending my amp to him for 2016 updates during a very busy period for him, but I would also call it probably the best customer service experience I have ever had.

    NGD '87 Custom Shop ESP

    The band got me another guitar. Custom Shop Kamakazi. Color says Coffee Green, but it's basically a black stain with aged poly. It's a touch heavier than I like, but it's not insane. My Candy Tangerine Charvel is about the same weight, so i'm used to it. The neck is a very Fendery C shape...

    New PreAmp Day... ahh the 80's

    I traded a wah i wasn't using and an old small pedal train board i haven't used in like 5 years for this. I think i won. I used to have an ADA MP2 in the late 90's and it was cool (lots of stuff packed in that box), but always preferred the original MP-1 (not the classic. those suck balls)...

    Impending Charvel Day

    My one band, Contrarian is a paid gig for me. It's essentially a studio project with some shows sprinkled in when it's possible to do so. Also, some of you are aware that i'm obsessed with Charvel. This will make 5 total. I typically get paid with gear over money, since any extra money i get in...

    Playthrough of one of my bands songs

    I don't like recording myself doing shit, but record companies want weird shit these days... This is music along the lines of Death, Cynic & Atheist I had the studio remove all my tracks, so all of my parts are live here. Helix Native. Placater model. My Mason Xeno (built from scratch...

    New ProMod Day

    They said 3 weeks for a special order. Got it in one week. Anyway... this thing is hard to put down. I wanted a streakier board, but they couldn't do it without it being a custom order. Don't care. This guitar kinda rules right out of the box. Wasted no time and installed the Nazgul/Sentient...

    My band has a new premier vid up

    OK. I know this style may not be a lot you guy's thing. I'm OK with that of course. My band Contrarian is about to release a new record on March 15th. We are a metal band... kinda like the band Death as far as style goes. We feature George Kollias from the band Nile on drums and vocals. I...

    New Amp: No stupid birds here

    OK. I actually got this like 1.5 weeks ago, but have only recently gotten a chance to crank it. I figured i'd hold on my impressions till then. 2016 Archon 100 I love my Friedman for most things, but with my one band tuned to C with 12 gauge strings, it had a frequency that i know...

    $1,050 + Shipping The guitar is in very good shape (Only very very minor wear. Never gigged. No major chips or scratches that i have detected) and the frets were Plek'ed by Sweetwater providing very low action. The only missing thing is an ethernet cord for hooking up to a Helix or POD. I can...

    Shredding a solo for the new Contrarian... All Helix

    Quickie... I went in cold the other day to get off some off the cuff solos. I purposely didn't go in with a single written solo. I did not keep this take FWIW, but it was a decent take. I used Helix for my rhythms and solos Contrarian in a world-wide recording project featuring George Kollias...

    NPBD - Friedman

    Ok. I'm now officially done with my Friedman sponsored mid-life crisis This thing is quiet! My old Pedaltrain setup with the Voodoo Labs power supply had issues with ground loops using the 4CM that forced me to use an Ebtech hum eliminator for the loop. Even then, i had weird noise. Most likely...

    Pulled the trigger on a 'Slax

    I recently rejoined my metal band, which tunes to straight C. I freaking adore, love and gush over my BE-100, but it sounds amazing when tuned to E or even D, but starts to loose it's focus with anything below that. I figure the Slax will give me the versatility i need for all my projects...

    Question about MusiKraft Charvel replacement necks

    I know these are all the rage and people love them, but i'm having an issue. This headstock they show as the Charvel replacement is unacceptable. The flattened out spot before the rounded end. Ugly. It seems their Strat replacement headstocks are normal though. Anyone know what the deal is...
