when I used to use dual & triple recto's I never had a problem cutting through. The guys that did have trouble cutting through the mix heavily scooped the mids. Recording with a recto was a bit of a challenge if you were working with someone that didn't know how to record them. Also, I found...

I'm not much of a forum user, and honestly i joined this one and TGP for the classifieds. But i've been interacting here a little more lately and it seems way more chill than TGP. Also seems this forum has more metal/heavy rock oriented players, and I'm all about that. I'm a member of another...

I discovered long ago that I like doing a combination a close dynamic with a condenser about 6 feet back aimed directly at a speaker. Not so much for the room, more for the cabinet itself. To me it's a truer representation of the sound of my amp and cabinet. Just using a close condenser doesn't...

This makes sense. I pulled a JB out of my King V that was my main guitar for years because I didn't like how it sounded in there anymore, and ended up dropping it in my HSS strat because I wanted something hotter in it and that was the only pickup i had laying around that was 53mm. That pickup...

Ah, for some reason i thought Jeff was still out here. I know he was playing locally here at some smaller clubs with an acoustic duo thing pre-covid. I'm unaware of him doing anything with Jeff, but then again i hadn't talked to Nick in a few years before he passed.

What studio? I found out after he passed that he was getting something going with another old friend of mine that I had fallen out of touch on bass. He wanted to get me in on guitar but they didn't know how to get ahold of me. Not sure why they didn't reach out to any of our mutual friends...

I was. We fell out of touch in the early 2000's, we'd run into each other on occasion but that was about it.

I tend to think all pickups are subjective to the guitar you put them in but the JB is an extreme example of that. I had one Les Paul that it just loved it in, and another Les Paul that I couldn't get it out of there quick enough. And it sounds GREAT in my strat.

He did. Countdown to Extinction and Youthanasia. I met him over at Nick Menza's house once, he was helping Nick set up is home recording studio. Didn't stay very long because I was just dropping something off but he seemed very cool.

Damnit, it sold. I would have absolutely bought that for 2K. That's my kind of old Les Paul. Beat up, lots of use and it probably sounds great.

I'm pretty simple, I only have an Engl Powerball II with an Engl slanted 4x12 and a Kemper Power Rack. The Kemper is just for fly-in gigs, plug & play gigs and home demos. I profiled all 4 channels of my Engl and that's all i use on it. I've already got a mild guitar hoarding problem. Don't need...

I liked In The Shadows too, good record. Might have to listen to that one today, been awhie

Those first two Mercyful Fate albums are absolute classics! Especially Melissa. And that looks like a my 2007. It came stock with 500T/496R but the dude i bought it from also added a roland guitar synth to it. I gutted it and put EMG's in it, but i'm not sure i like em in that guitar. I have a...

Randall is a solid dude. Been a member of the facebook group since he formed it.

Unless he was able to buy one off of someone years later (it's quite possible), he's only got one. Him and Bob Rock both got theirs around the same time and Kirk had one getting worked on but Jose died before he finished it. He told that story in one of their documentaries.

I had a full thickness E-ii, My ESP Eclipse is not a full thickness, but to me it's apples & oranges comparing the Eclipse and Les Paul. Two different animals. To me the advantage of the ESP is that I can get one right off the rack and all I would want to change is the string gauge and strap...

I got one in the 90's because the other guitarist in my band had one in his main guitar, an Ibanez Jem with a Kramer neck. Sounded cool in that guitar so I put one in my Dean and I hated it. At the time we were both using Marshall JCM 800's but his guitar sounded better than mine. I got rid of...

Nice score on the Arrow! Those are fantastic guitars.

Gotcha. If they look like these, they will drop right on without any modifications and you won't have the extra hole on the top that will happen if you get Grovers. Kluson Revolution locking tuners. My favorite locking tuners. I have these on my Gibsons that have this type of mount. The others...

are the tuners Grovers or the Kluson-looking ones? Can you post a pic of the back of the headstock?
