    Oh dear, new Alex Skolnick, and Andy Larocque sigs revealed!

    It's not just the companies thinking they're sitting on gold. Same on the used market for pickups. I could buy Duncans and DiMarzios used all day long for €50-60, save some more upscale models. Now, most of the folks selling them, are asking €90-100... I dunno about you, but my salary hasn't...

    Oh dear, new Alex Skolnick, and Andy Larocque sigs revealed!

    Yep agreed. I was looking at the LTD '87 Custom Horizon too, to get my H-S axe added... but $1500 USD (and most European stores have it for €1600-1700), I guess I'm old enough when cheap Samicks were a thing, to be paying $1500 for a Korean made guitar feels wrong. $1000, fine. $1200? you guys...

    Small Music Gear Purge For Friedman Guitar Amp

    I agree with that, when it comes to the amps! The BE-OD Deluxe pedal however can go from polished to pretty gnarly, since you have a full EQ + presence and tight controls per channel. Also, by bringing down the internal gain trimpots, it covers so much ground! Having owned the Bogner XTC red and...

    NGD: 87 ESP Mirage - 48th Street

    Yup, that thing looks like it would be shaving itself in a chopper and muttering "I'm gonna have me some fun" over and over....back in '87 too! :whistle: Congrats @vultures ! I'm looking to add an H-S super strat like this to my stable as well. Already settled that the neck pickup is gonna be a...

    Acoustic recommendations?

    If I recall correctly, the Yamaha APX series sounded better than CPX series, that is, their semi acoustic lines. @Beyond Black are you looking for full acoustic or a semi (with piezo and/or internal mic maybe)? I'll second the point that on the used market, Yamaha usually is a good deal, since...

    Well All My Gear May Be Destroyed...

    Good point @MadAsAHatter. One thing that perhaps wasn't clear from my point, this is also an and/and thing for me, meaning it's perfectly possible to accept that climate change is a thing, while also not falling for some pushed agenda from governments that want to influence your personal life...

    Well All My Gear May Be Destroyed...

    What source is this from? Just curious. I don't mind discussions with actual sensible nuanced adults, but these "you can't believe in climate change if you ever flew a plane or drive a car" moronic arguments without any sources whatsoever that would support THEIR arguments, no sirrey. I don't...

    Reading is difficult. I told you twice now. Welcome to my ignore list.

    Well All My Gear May Be Destroyed...

    1) I don't owe you shit 2) already told you. If only you did the same. So you can just dismiss anything because you don't feel like believing science, but I should defend myself against such low blows? Fuck off man.

    Well All My Gear May Be Destroyed...

    Of course you're not. Because, why would you, right? It doesn't fit your narrative. o_O I still don't see any credible links/sources from you, supporting your 'not being convinced' by the way... OMFG. So everyone who does believe the scientists' concensus about climate change should never board...

    Acoustic recommendations?

    Are you looking for nylon stringed (Spanish/cassical) acoustics or steel-stringed (Western) ones? For steel string, I'd look at Martin, Taylor, Takamine, LAG maybe.

    Well All My Gear May Be Destroyed...

    I see that you didn't check my links. Your stubbornness and lack of sources aren't debate enhancers either by the way. :cheers: Like I said, I trust Nasa a 'liiiiiittle' bit more than someone on a guitar forum claiming climate change isn't real and can't be proven. :censored: If 800.000 years...

    Well All My Gear May Be Destroyed...

    I wouldn't call "No it ain't true, but I have no evidence to back up my opinion/stance/feelings on this" a sign of intelligence. ? FWIW I'm not saying 'let's accept everything at face value because the authorities said so' either, but to fully dismiss something this way...nah, that ain't...

    Well All My Gear May Be Destroyed...

    Fine dude, if actual scientists who studied for this shit, did tests, present evidence etc. cannot convince you, you're obviously smarter than all them folks at Nasa. :LOL: But your use of "" suggests that you're more on the religious side of things...Earth being only 5000 years old and...

    Well All My Gear May Be Destroyed...

    Rrrright...so it's purely coincidental that the general rise in average temperatures over the last 100-150 years just happens to be in the exact same time since we had an industrial revolution, a world population that has grew exponentially, CO2 emissions , etc... Dude, even if this is an...

    Well All My Gear May Be Destroyed...

    Guys, I think what some people fail to grasp is that a lot of the reasons brought forth can co-exist. Meaning, that both mismanagement AND climate change can be attributed to the cause. It seems that certain political leanings want to fully place the blame on one thing and ignoring any other...

    NCD Peavey 412MS- Speakers recommendation

    I was under the impression that these Peavey MS cabs came stock with K85's? That's a good starting point anyway, especially paired with V30's.

    DOD 50th "Limited Edition" 250

    That thing has a 10 times smaller input cap (0.001uF) than the original grey box and yellow box (0.01uF) DOD 250. I had one for a while and hated how thin it sounded. Sold it quickly. Maybe it would work with overly thick sounding humbuckers as a boost, but for boosting a Strat with low output...

    DOD 50th "Limited Edition" 250

    Since I was a kid, I was heavily into fighter jets, especially ones that could outmanouveur a lot of others, whilst being built in a way that it could be repaired in a car garage basically and land on rough grass... -->Soviet jets. Lots of MiGs and Sukhois. But, one of my all time favourite...
