    what neck pickup are you guys using on your les pauls?

    I have 3 LP's and my favorite are the Duncan Antiquities I have in a R7 Goldtop, both bridge and neck just kill it in that guitar. I have a BB in the neck of my BB7 3 PU LPC RI that I was slightly surprised that I like it enough to keep it..swapped out the bridge with a Duncan Custom Custom. I...

    Early Yngwie ear orgasms...

    Rising Force and Marching Out albums with Jeff Scott Soto are my favorite Yngwie albums although he's really good on the Live Sentence w/ Alcatrazz. I saw him just before the release of Marching out (they played a couple tracks from it) in Detroit and it was jaw dropping experience to see him...

    The ultimate bedroom practice head for metal?

    I have a wall of 50-100w amps and cabs. I use a Marshall Code 100 2x12 (modeller) for practice, it sounds good at low volumes and you can control it with a smartphone or tablet. The BOSS Katana is also great. Both are pretty cheap. The CODE is also a killer Bluetooth speaker ;)

    Bogner Shiva 20th 6L6 vs other tubes

    The regular Shiva (not the 20th ani) with 6L6 kicks ass. A buddy has the combo version...excellent amp. Sort of what lead me to getting an Ecstasy 101B way back (still have it)

    Pickups for that big full les Paul sound

    I have 3 LP's and and all of them sound killer. I'm a mid to low output pickup guy. I have a set of 36 anniversary DiMarzios in a Trad +. A Custom-Custom in the bridge of 3 PU 57 RI BB7, BB's in mid and neck. I have s set of Duncan Antiquities in my R7 Gold top...all 3 guitars are tough to put...

    Reverb Amp Buy Gone Bad

    I'm glad you outt'd the guy. I've shipped empty head shell packed 10x better than that. I hate seeing this happen...sorry Wizard...hope you can get it resolved.

    4x12 speaker cabs... The WORST gear investment ever. *RANT*

    I have five 4x12 I bought them all used and only 2 local over the years. I bought all of them used. Best deal was a Bogner slant 4x12 w/v30's for $500...good as new and still had the tag on it ;)

    Friedman Smallbox vs Bogner 20th Shiva - Clips

    Both sound really nice to me. The Friedman sounds a tad bit more modern with softer edges to me. I liked the Shiva a bit better as I like the rawness for a lack of a better word I suppose. Both of these would remain keepers or me in my amp stable. Both of these produce a very pleasant, usable...

    Katana 100 Head clip

    Sounds good! I'm pretty impressed with the Boss Katana stuff as well as the Marshall Code 100. They're fairly cheap and sound great at lower levels. I picked up Code 100 2x12...it sounds better with an external cab, cab sim turned off. I like that I can edit, control it with my iPhone and use it...

    SLO vs. Hot Rod 25?

    Get the SLO. It seems like every product from Soldano is based off of the legendary SLO design...even their paper clips they us in their office :)

    Rush cover YYZ

    Great job. One of my favorite Rush tracks too. I saw them on the Moving Pictures tour in Detroit they were excellent!

    What Happened to Floyd?

    It still rules for me. I prefer the older German made units. They started making them in Korea and they were cheaper metals and it suffered but looks almost identical to the older OFR's. I personally don't see a that much of an advantage with the Gotoh units that seem to be in favor over ORF...

    My Crappy Experience with Kiesel Guitars

    I've never been a fan of their guitars other than being reasonably priced. There is just something that seems "off" for lack of a better word, almost cool but fail to my eye anyway. One thing on "special runs" is typically specs are rigid without any changes accepted. If say Wildwest is doing a...

    Shameless gear flippers

    I'm pretty much opposite as I hoard gear that I truly love :) If something was the "best guitar I ever played" why dafuq would I want to sell unless I was in dire financial situation? I guess I can understand it from a hobby perspective to buy, sell and trade. Hell its cheaper than booze...

    NGD - Jackson custom

    Thats awesome! Congratulations! I'd love it more if it was a full size strat body since you went with a 22 fret neck. Reminds me of those sparkle Duncan Yo-yo's from when I was a kid :)

    Good Eminence combo for 4x12?

    I have a Splawn bottom 4x12 cab that has Governors and Man o Wars in an X pattern that work out well with an older QR that I pair it with. It seemed to take a while to get them broken in but they sound really good for what I do which is 80's melodic metal/rock and neo classical.

    Alder or Mahogany?

    Mahogany is my favorite body wood. I'm a mid to low output in the pickup department and play melodic mental and neo-classical stuff. Keep in mind there are various flavors, types of Mahogany so not all of it is awesome :) I'm not a huge fan of Alder but it can sound really good too. Good wood is...
