I cannot wait for the new album. This song renewed my hope for them. Love the riffs love the harmonized parts, overall much more impressed with this than hardwired. Everybody rags on Kirk, and yeah he's gotten a little sloppy over the years and he ain't gonna win any guitar player of the year...

One thing to remember, if you didn't like the Mark v, you may not like the 2c+ they're from the same gene pool, and the marks are a very unique voicing and require some patience to find the voice you like.

I don't know what a real Mark IIC+ sounds or feel like. I do know that I have just discovered how cool the 2C mode is on my Mark V. I like the Mark IV a lot and have had 2 mark IV's in the past. Up until just the last 2 weeks I was ready to sell my Mark V because I wasn't not happy with anything...

Back to my Mark V. Threw in the BE-OD pedal and I'm happy with my rig.

Got to agree on some points here. This music was great back in the 80's. And for most of us, it's probably the stuff we grew up on. Key words, GREW UP. At 41 years old, I listen to way more aggressive music now then I ever have. The 80's hair metal music does absolutely nothing for me nowadays...

You can dial the gain up or down with the internal pot. Have to unscrew the pedal to get it. I think it comes set 1/2 from the factory. I don't even have gain knob, the external one, set to halfway and it's plenty of gain. It still stays articulate at those settings. The bass can be a little...

It's pretty agresive and more modern voiced. I haven't tweaked the internal trim pot so I'm sure you can get any tone out of it.

Friedman BE-OD. Ran mine thru my Mark V clean channel and I had to call my doctor because I still had an erection 4 hours later. It's seriously every bit as good as the reviews it's been getting. Doesn't seem to work great going as just an OD, YMMV. But for a different flavor, it's killer. I've...

This pedal is so bad ass. I tried one out a few days ago thru my line 6 Flextone III which is just my at home mess around amp. I didn't have very high expectations with that setup. Holy hell, as soon as I kicked the pedal on, instantly chubbed up. This pedal is outstanding. Normally I can't get...

That sounded super tight and aggressive. I haven't been much of a fan of this amp up until seeing that clip. Very cool.

All very good points. With all the fan boys out there I think it would still have a lot of appeal. However, as closely guarded and secretive as Hetfield seems to be about achieving his tones, would he really want to give up the secret sauce that makes it what it is?

I have a KH2 NTB, which other than the inlays and the extra volume pot, is the same guitar as yours, that I recently pulled the EMG's out of it and replaced with SD JB and 59. I know it's pretty clichéd but it's a tried and true comni nation that actually seemed to work well for this. If I do...

I can't stand those tire kicking, information seeking time wasting mother fuckers. Goddamm I've had more cock suckers ask for more pics, different prices, this that and the other thing and then disappear like a fart in the wind. Won't reply to pm's or emails. If you lose interest or whatever, at...

I'd go Mark IV. I've had 2 of them, now use a Mark V. The clean tones are great and the lead channel is awesome once you get it dialed in. Plus Mesa customer serice is top notch if you have issues with the amp. Plus $900 is a great price for that amp. If you don't like it, you can probably flip...

John, you're buying all of the killer gear in town, glad it's going to a good home, although mine would give it just as much love. I gave your chup a whirl the other day and I really liked the sound of that one. Was quite similar to the Smallbox at least I thought so. But again, being only 1...

Those are both cool setups. I'd rock the hell out of either of those.

Duncan JB/59 combo. May also change to 50's wiring before swapping out pickups if you haven't done it already. Cheap and easy to do.

Yep, the blue and red channel are cool but definitely wont get you into the Fender cleans. But if you're looking for Fender cleans, the Mark is the way to go, just wish it wasn't priced so high, but it is a lot of bang for the buck. You can probably find them used at pretty reasonable prices...

Mesa Mark V 25. Has a great clean to it, although it's more than twice the price of the 5150 lbx

I had an SE 245. I hated that mother fucker. It would not stay in tune for any length of time. I'm sure the components in the cu24 are the same. It may help to swap the nut, it's a cheap enough part to do. If it has tuning problems that would be the place to start before spending more money on...
