    highest gain ever?

    Either. The amps are identical. The 5150 II has a little less gain than the original and it's a bit smoother sounding.

    who likes redwood? (wood porn content)

    That's fair enough, what you said before just sounded like a bunch of PR nonsense for logging. :lol: :LOL:

    Blackstar Amps

    Have you considered the DSL? They're pretty good and at a similar price. The Jet City is a really good hard rock amp, it's not super tight like some amps, which is either a really good thing or a really bad thing. I found with my 5150 II that I only liked its tightness if I was playing metal for...

    Blackstar Amps

    In the same price bracket? If so, I'm intrigued.

    Blackstar Amps

    They are very different amps, that's certainly true but the JCA has much more of an organic feel. That's not to say the HT sounds SS, it doesn't but it does lack a bit of 'realness', to my ears anyway. I did actually really like both of them, and in a way I wish I went for the Blackstar beacuse...

    Blackstar Amps

    I think if you're going the Blackstar route, go with a Series One, they're awesome. I came pretty close to buying an HT-100, but ended up getting a Jet City because it felt a lot more 'real' than the HT, and I didn't find the HT to be as versetile as it was advertised to be, one of the OD...

    Stoner/Doom Etc Fans?

    The term "Stoner rock" apparently comes from this album. http://getoffmyelevator.blogspot.com/2010/02/burn-one-up-music-for-stoners-1997.html

    Stoner/Doom Etc Fans?

    Not your typical stoner/doom stuff, but it's in the same vein. ISIS are one of my favourite bands. Check out Cult Of Luna and Neurosis, too. L0LBJGHr7pE xS3NkhjsBf0

    Any Andy McKee fans?

    I'm a massive fan of his. I've learned All Laid Back And Stuff, which was my first acoustic song (yup) and For My Father, which I can't play all the way through yet. Antoine Dufour is brilliant, too.

    I can't seem to find the perfect strat.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys but I'm looking for a non-floyded guitar.

    Hey man, thanks for the offer. It looks beautiful. I'm in the UK though. =/

    I can't seem to find the perfect strat.

    They all seem to. The neck is definitely my biggest worry, the most flat I've seen any strats on the website were 12". I wouldn't mind a compound radius actually, I saw one strat with a compound radius. Unfortunately, all the ones with ideal necks AFAIK are US signature models and out of budget.

    I can't seem to find the perfect strat.

    I'm in the UK man. =/ AFAIK Warmoth doesn't have a UK branch.

    I can't seem to find the perfect strat.

    Ooh.. This looks right up my street. Seems really good value. How flat is the fretboard? I like to set my action quite low, especially since I use 11's in E. I'd use 10s on a normal strat if I wanted to play fast licks a lot.

    I can't seem to find the perfect strat.

    Thanks! Forgive my ignorance, I was under the impression Charvel currently only build SoCals, San Dimas' and those gross Schecter/LTD ripoffs. It looks like what I'd be after playability wise, I'm not too keen on the aesthetics, but that's not the biggest issue. if only I could find a nice...

    I can't seem to find the perfect strat.

    Thanks for the responses guys. :) Annoyingly, for both you and myself I'm sure, I forgot to mention that Suhr/TAG/Vigier are waaayy out of budget for me. I'm looking for something in the range of Fender Strats, Charvel SoCals, etc.

    I can't seem to find the perfect strat.

    [Skip the first few paragraphs if you want to get straight to the point.] I've been gassing for a strat lately, and since I've both started working more and given up an expensive habbit of mine (in place of an even more expensive habit; gear.) I thought I'd save up and buy a guitar. I have a...

    Bassists here on rig talk

    I've played bass on and off for a few years, I temped on bass for a classic rock band last year but it didn't last. I think it's more "fun" than guitar. I'd rather play a really nice bassline under something than strum chords for the majority of a song.

    .010 gauge strings.. just not digging the damn G !

    Check out the D'addario balanced 10's set, when the original 10-46 set was made, the technology was not as advanced so they had to round up or round down string gauges, the balanced 10's set has much more equal tension.
