I've had my mark V for about a month now and I love it. I had 2 mark IV, a triaxis, a stiletto and a recto. Out of them all, this is the one I really bonded with. I've wanted one since they came out and I've bought everything but a V. I loved the sound of the iv but the thing never sounded the...
They're pretty hit or miss. Only a handful I songs of theirs I like. I heard Five finger death punch this morning and thought they just sound like a really diluted form of Pantera. Pantera is one of those bands whose music never sounded dated and to this day still stomps all over anything current.
I have a Jp100d and a Jp6 fully loaded. I actually play the Sterling more than the ebmm. It plays every bit as good in my opinion as the $2000 model. The trem is very stable and holds tune well. It takes some setting up but once it's there, it's very reliable. The neck is very similar to an...
My wife listens to all the pop country music. I can appreciate the artists trying to make a living but it just seems like they are a dime a dozen and nothing seems to have much longevity. I honestly can't think of the last current artist that really struck me and I just had to buy their entire...
Nope. I'm old enough to have grown up listening to all th hair metal bands and I still listen to them all the time. I like the fancy showmanship the players had and the great shred licks. I think music has gotten very stale in the last 10 years. Guitar solos seem to be a thing of the past. The...
Seems they all have a formula that they follow, seems to work for them. Unfortunately all these bands and songs sound the same and there's nothing that stands out to differentiate them from each other. They all sound the same to me.
I lose the urge once in while. I'm not the greatest player in the world and it's just a hobby for me. Occasionally I get stuck in a rut and want to sell everything and find somewhere else to put the money. But I just give it a break for a few days and it's all fresh and new again. Back when my...
I go back and forth on rack gear. My first attempt was with a Rocktron Voodu valve, which was cool, but a little overwhelming for a starter rack piece. Got rid of that and jumped into Mesa heads, Recto, Stiletto, Mark IV. Jumped ship from there and tried a ADA MP-1. Didn't keep that one very...
New user here. I'm rocking a Triaxis with a VHT 2/50 power amp. Pretty much been a Mesa fan boy for the last 7 years and this set up is my favorite. Still gasing for a 5150 III 50 watt though
