That was in the fall of ‘99; Drain STH & Godsmack were openers for that show. I did get to see Sabbath again at Ozzfest ‘01. Then I caught Ozzy with Zakk, Borden & Rob at Ozzfest ‘02. I could have the two years of those mixed up, that’s been a while, and those long shows in the summer heat were...

My first real concert was Black Sabbath in ‘99. We didn’t really get rock or metal tours coming to SC back then, so it was a huge deal. Set me down a path in life, I can’t imagine where I’d be otherwise. RIP

Most days I feel like it’s going to waste on my board. I use it just for home practice sessions a lot. I’ll find a simple bucket delay preset, tweak it a little & leave it there for weeks. Then there are days when I use it for recording, that the array of sounds & ease of navigating them makes...

The area does attract some great talent, there’s no denying that. It’s just a stupid expensive state to run a manufacturing business in. Real estate & taxes are astronomical compared to almost anywhere else in the US. Then the wages you have to pay just to meet basic cost of living...

To be honest, I don’t know how any guitar or amp builder survives in CA anymore.

He’s one of the rare ones with such a long career, who still goes out and plays like he’s got something to prove.

To be fair, I’m also in a southern “right to work” state. The laws kinda screw us on things like break times etc. so I don’t expect what’s common here to be the norm across the US.

That’s been the case everywhere I’ve worked, mostly restaurants & manufacturing jobs. You can claim you need to step outside to smoke a few times a day, and no one will question it. Sitting in the same spot, doing anything else, you’ll get chewed out immediately. Anywhere you work nights, it’s...

Because it’s a subject that’s fun to talk about & hear people’s experience or perception… Until it becomes a debate about who’s correct, then the conversation gets boring & goes nowhere.

I might give that a try with my super comp. I usually run treble & presence around 10:00

Over the years I’ve become a believer that how much wood affects guitar tone is highly dependent on how you amplify the signal. If you’re running a super hot pickup, then boosting it into a dual rec with the gain cranked; you’re not going to hear a huge difference based on wood. You’ll get some...

Yes, to be honest that shop deserves its own thread. Every room packed wall to wall with cool gear for any playing style, and a lot of nice used & consignment deals. I should have taken a few more pics while I was pacing around & debating this purchase.

I prefer the lower end of medium.

Did Mesa or Friedman pay him off to make an exceptionally bad Marshall demo?

I grabbed a used Strymon Timeline for $300 & never looked back.

Fryette Sig X for me. I have a deliverance and it’s one of the most versatile & user friendly amps one could hope for. For quite a few years, that & my mark iii were the only things I ever played through, and I was perfectly happy with that setup.

Had one of these for a few years & loved it.

TLDR; pics are down below. I've been wanting some type of nice 330 for a few years now. I like the idea of growly p90's in a full hollow, that's wild & hard to tame at full volume. Played a handful over the years that I liked, but never found one that really screamed at me when I had the cash...

Always wanted a blacked out lpc. Looks great.

I just got watched that Jeff Beck video last night…. Then scolded my LP for not sounding as good.
