I'm dead smack in the middle at 5'10"... Borked and Dased I guess. :dunno: But I got a good 4 inches over lil' ol' Kerry, hyuk hyuk. \:D/ Although he's one of the few on that list that would be all "Why don't you say that to mah face, tall guy?!" when Marty Friedman would be way chiller about...

Well, I was considering The Great Kat in lieu of Tom Scholz, but being a (sound)engineer myself, ol' Tom got the nod. :p And it did help he singlehandedly wrote and played one of the best albums from the 70's.

Kerry King's 5'6" explains a lot of his demeanour... :unsure:😜

Kevin Heybourne from Angelwitch apparently approves this too.

I see yours has the larger diamond inlay on the headstock. I wonder if smaller vs larger was random for Burny or if there's some other distinction associated with it. Is yours quite a chonker in terms of weight as well? I believe mine is well over 11lbs.

I have its older brothers in RR style and black, and the RR I kept the frets original; it's an '83 RLC70, so it also has the fret end nibs. The black '87 one also had those, but the refret (with Dunlop jumbos) got rid of them unfortunately. My 'RR' is Duncan loaded; after many swaps I settled...

In no particular order except #1, #2 and #3: Jimi Hendrix EVH Paco de Lucía David Gilmour Tom Scholz Randy Rhoads Adrian Smith George Lynch Warren DeMartini Andy LaRocque See, I actually kept it to 10. :cool:

Agreed. Not a fan of ceramics in most cases myself. And the one time I had a above decent guitar with actives (EMG81/85) I tried to improve it with 24V power, but it lacked any of the musicality and character that a good Alnico magnet brings. Agreed. I never claimed such thing. I actually...

Come on dude, it kinda is.... a Super Distortion, especially with a treble bleed circuit does WAAAAY better cleans than any JB (way darker and murky when played clean), Invader, X2N or whatever insane high output ceramic pickup you have. Now...if you ask me for versatility, this inherently...

Mixed with a thinner, even older Michael Ironside. :unsure:

+1! So I really don't get the 'he has the same range as Halford' comment... I'm like, does he now? Really? :unsure: With the same power, finesse, etc.? 🤨 And look, I'm not here to compare apples to oranges, but Bonnet in his *prime* sounded strained typically in his higher register, yet...

Yep, one less mechanical transfer-point to a PCB if you're twisting knobs or inserting tubes.

12 In my 1st (death/thrash) band, our bassplayer would play/mock Gene and I would play Paul, pouting and all. While our buddies were only interested in Boltthrower, Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, etc., he and I would go nuts on classic Kiss. I did stay away from the toys on purpose... Oh, and...

"Yer no Wizard, 'Arry!"

I got another song for ya then: Ratt - Givin' Yourself Away. When I first heard it, I didn't know Desmond Child was involved, but when that pre-chorus dropped (at 0m37s), that's some signature material for him! I immediately looked it up afterwards and lo and behold, he was the (co-)songwriter...

From that same album; Spillways...basically if you do a mash-up of Abba's "Money Money", some early Bon Jovi + the Pokemon theme song... :ROFLMAO: By the way, I really like Ghost. They had to grow on me, because when I first heard Opus when it was released, I always felt this lack of gain...

'85 vented or '86 non-vented T75's + V30's or a mix of V30/G12-65 or V30+G12K85.

Why is that? Also, how would you describe the base tone of the Mini Nightmare? More 'american' or 'british'? I heard some folks describe it as SLO-ish, but I'm not sure if that's accurate...Is it reasonably tight without a boost in high gain mode or so-so?

Nice score! And cheers from his older ('83) brother. ;-) That one is rocking a pair of Duncans; Custom/59 Hybrid bridge and Pearly Gates neck. I also put on a Tusq nut, Grover 18:1 tuners and Graphtech bridge saddles.

Had the Uber Metal for a while...like others said, pretty fun at home, but never used it live. I already tried that in my late teens with a Metalzone and a Peavey Bandit. :ROFLMAO: Likewise I had good fun with a Zoom Driver 5000. One of the settings...I forgot Stack 2 or combo 112, was ultra...
