Yeah, at some point in my life I just decided I was sick of cold weather. Although now that I’ve been touring in bands again it’s a bit unavoidable. Did a full Canada run in late Sep/to mid November and the weather was miserable. I’m good, don’t need that ever :ROFLMAO:
It was a chilly morning (for south Florida, anyway) which is a solid time to go spot some manatees in the lagoon so, did that, saw some manatees, barracuda, and some nurse sharks, snapped this photo, then got some killer sandwiches. Solid morning.
Now I’m watching college football for the...
This is a 1979 LPC with the stock T-Tops. Roughly 7.5k output. I like the sludgier feel of lower output pups though I generally sit in the middle with like 13k output type pickups.
Updated shot now that I’ve got the temple board put together. Temple sent me the LED’s so I put them in for the social medias but prolly won’t use them in general. A little too much pizazz for me.
So after I posted this I realized Cioks has “hex extenders” for the bottom of temple boards so that it leaves space for pedals to go, haha. Got those on the way to fix my issue. I’m running the DC7 with the Temple/Cioks HI5 MOD for more power.
Tentative underside set up:
Yeah, I just got it today and went ahead and put together the mods and mounted the DC 7 where I think it’s okay, but won’t really know until I get the pedals ready to mount to see where I can fit them. Luckily I really don’t swap out my board too much so once it’s set I should be good. They also...
Current set up fresh off two months of tour and uncleaned since then, haha. Although I got hooked up with Temple and Cioks recently and coincidentally my new Temple board should arrive sometime today so I’ll be migrating over and upgrading my power supplies. I have lots of pedals I fuck with at...
I feel you on the finish, I actually had black ones and white ones and swapped the pickguard on them and it looked a lot better.
And Yeah, I’ve got one of the vintage white LTD’s as well. The current LTD’s and the old Standard Series are also a little different sound-wise, as the standards...
Yeah, I used to have a few of the standard series phoenixes, this one is a custom they made for me (was an esp artist at the time) when they weren’t producing phoenixes in 2017, although I didn’t actually get it until early 2019 and they ended up bringing back those LTD’s you’re speaking of...
Filling in on a tour with my old band here soon and been running through the set on both of these every day relearning and learning a bit that I wasn’t on. Gotta get the muscle memory going again, it’s been a while haha.
While it’s a good take, I kinda disagree. The age of the “rock star” is prettt much over, and the guys who buy signature guitars because they are HUGE fans of certain guitarists are still guys at the tail end of all that. Tool, Metallica, etc etc. And those guys buy everything, too. So it’s an...
Watched Slayer side stage one time in Europe somewhere (2016 maybe? When did they quit? I don’t remember) on a fest my previous band also played and I got yelled at for sitting my beer on Kerry King’s head case. Was awesome. Set was pretty cool too.
