The great Floyd Rose Big-Block Shootout.

[Thedarkone101]

It's also funny you keep harping on it. And ducking questions, and generally being an ass, but hey...you're on a mission.

Yeah, I lurked here long before I posted, and your friend's being a jackass (well beyond whatever original MINOR justification he had, he's gone/continues to go way past that - as do you) initially prompted me to chime in. Sue me. Get over it, and more importantly yourself. Quit fooling yourself into believing that helps your "case" in the slightest. Guess you're gonna start spam-yelling at me in a giant font again now? Oops, I accidentally gave away the other part of your weak shtick...my bad!

No one ever denied the incident happened, and it's well known all parties agree it could have been handled better and differently. The matter was settled, a replacement was sent (again). SHOULD have been the end of it. So why are you the only ones who continuously bring it up? Since you mention not hurting "your business", it's clear your aim is to hurt his - like it wasn't already abundantly clear. But you haven't, and you won't. What you WILL do is keep looking more bitter and sad. Like you just did with your last post, and no doubt will with your subsequent ones on the subject. Especially when you bring up THAT dead issue again. Face it, you've been bitchslapped on every other "con" you tried to come up with against the FU product itself, that's ALL YOU HAD left, and that is so old it's moldy. You're still on empty.
I asked you to momentarily put aside manufacturers, talk about your guitar, and what do you do -you duck the question, post another War & Peace length rant on Adam? Please. You're beyond transparent at this point. But go ahead and keep accusing me of spamming - meanwhile, I'm the guy talking about products I use and like, that work, you're the guy that keeps trying to derail the thread (and any other FU-related one you can google) talking "He sucks" smack. Yeah, run with that...

I really can't say anymore.. Jay has made it pretty clear and said enough. Repeating would , just well STATE THE OBVIOUS .. But Jay I do have to correct you, as he was right in stating I said something in the Original Whine Fest.. But we dealt with that before. Go back to that thread again if it is still hurting you deep inside. I didnt come here to fight with you, Jay invited me to come hear his clips, as he knows I am a huge fan of floydupgrades.. I have 8 different guitars set up with floydupgrades stuff.. So can we get back to tone?

Wouldn't it be easier to record your own "before" and "after" clips with your guitar to see whether you'd even (ever) want to put the old one back in?

Of course, if I was actually going to do any of that. The block is in there for good at this point, at least until I have to replace that edge trem again (they tend to wear out, being made of such terrible materials).

My biggest mistake was not recording BEFORE I installed the block. I was not happy with myself for that after I installed the block. I just assumed that I would notice a huge difference. Oh well!

I'll be switching pickups again on that guitar pretty soon, and when I do that I may try the block equipped Edge in one of my backup RGs. I'll be sure to record a clip then for my own peace of mind.

All the best.

Bottom of your barrel is silly picture spam now, OldSkoolNJ? Well ...cute, but you really don't want to go there with me...

I got a million of 'em! LOL

That would be preferable to continuing the whinefest!

Thanks for the correction, but I saw your posts in that thread, and don't think that "pressuring" comment is at all accurate, but not much that's been said about that re-hash IS. Shock there. But again, that is so OVER it's annoying it even got brought up in this thread. But enough of that.

Now it's "not a shoot-out" because both materials I used were made by the same company...gotta love troll logic- Swing, miss, cry, repeat!

Do tell about your experience with the Ti saddles, though!

And to Ethn Hayabusa, let us know how your next comparison works out!

Spam? It wasn't an Advertisement unlike this entire Spamfomercial thread..

 

[jhale667]

Blah, blah.. Spamfomercial thread..

 

[Thedarkone101]

Blah, blah.. Spamfomercial thread..

Haha! Maybe thats the way to deal with this guy.. Silly Pictures.. Arent there rules for guys like this? I wonder if we went and posted CRAP in every post he was trying to say something, would that be acceptable? Would he run and cry to a moderator like they do on the HRI bullshit forum? Nobody is doing anything wrong here.. Just trying to talk shop. Hopefully the pictures will help you understand..

 

[OldSkoolNJ]

That is the best thing this thread has been able to offer since you started it..

Reminds me of Uncle Paco for some reason

Nice try...lol
Based on the positive feedback the review and comparison clips have gotten (with you being one of the few dissenting opinions), we all know THAT's not true - but that COULD be said about your Tom & Jerry clip...gotta love them.

The Chuck Jones era is the best, though.

I'd have to agree with you on this. This is one of the longest living, self bumped threads I've seen. The more I look at the grand scheme of it, it looks like it's more a spam ad with a salesman trying to shove something up my ass and less of an informative thing. Judging by the way you treat everyone else who doesn't think your product is the best thing in the world, I figure you'll probably tell me I'm "the only one who's ever said that" or "in the minority" or tell me how stupid I am but I don't buy it, we're just not on the payroll . It would be different if you had up these great clips that were night and day but they're not. There's very little difference in any of them, if any. I'm not taking shots at you but even you have to see that this thread has been bumped, ad nauseum, with nothing helpful added since day 1

Clever...don't think that I didn't notice the Floyd Upgrades Ti bridge pins on that acoustic

I was wondering how long it would take for that before I even posted it
Seeing how Uncle Paco didn't have to buy strings, He should have had the extra money for that type of stuff..

Nah, that wasn't a shot at all...


I'm sure you'd love for me to rip into you right now (you HAVE talked smack previously) but you're certainly entitled to your opinion. Never said otherwise. But it's a misrepresentation to say I slam anyone who disagrees...just you guys.
I've repeatedly stated some won't get it, or might not hear a difference -wondering how my clips could have been any MORE "night and day", but again, it's your opinion. Others have indicated they can hear it.

But when you guys come in here calling me a "spammer" -while simultaneously promoting a competitive product, like you're the ones actually "on the payroll"? Sure, it's open season. I enjoy a game of whack-a-troll as much as the next guy...

I'd still like to see (and have invited) someone else take the time to create and contribute similar clips for the comparative competitor's blocks and materials, but not-so-shockingly NO ONE HAS (or likely will)...because it's too easy to stand around and bitch instead, isn't it?

Clever...don't think that I didn't notice the Floyd Upgrades Ti bridge pins on that acoustic

Hey, Paco appreciates good tone...

 

[Motorpud]

I didn't promote any other products and you are spamming. I googled floydupgrades brass block and your "shootout" came on multiple other forums you were spamming as well. Talk about a troll...

You know how to use da Google?
Troll? Not quite.
Being as it is - whether you like it or not - cool and useful info, yes - I posted it on several gear forums I frequent, and one I moderate. Never denied that, either. And I've received many thank you emails from people on those multiple forums, and reports of people not only enjoying it, but trying the blocks. So there goes the "spam" theory.

If I was posting sale flyers or something, or "Act now, these prices won't last!" crap, I could see where you'd have a valid point. Hell, I'd call for my own banning...LOL. But I'm not, and you don't. Those doing NOTHING save posting negative comments in here - what's THAT if not trolling?


So you've made it clear you're not into it, and that's fine - move along, and stop trying to ruin it for those who do, k?

Well first off, you're the guy who thinks he has to prove his point by talking down to people, which up to this point, no one else has done that to you, including me. Second, it's not everyone else's fault that you fancy yourself as Adams buttslave and you want to push his products for some reason, whatever it may be. Either way, Im not going to waste my time arguing with your dried up old ass about it, why don't you hurry up with your pickup magnet "project" so we can read about something else other than you obsession with your Floyd block? Maybe you're just as obsessed with an A4 magnet who knows? I'd like to see if you can form an opinion on gear that's not friend related.

So do these things really work?

Maybe you should try drinking your Vodka out of a Brass Goblet when you play

 

[jhale667]

First off, thanks for making my point FOR me. But... you're a little bitter, aren't you?

Well first off, you're the guy who thinks he has to prove his point by talking down to people, which up to this point, no one else has done that to you, including me.

The google joke was talking down to you? Lighten up, Francis. More like I talked down to those who went there with me first (except for the one dude that was just being a smartass, who I apologized to). And yes, you did also. Again. And here you've gone way past anything I've said...

you fancy yourself as Adams buttslave

Keep your homoerotic fantasy life out of this. Not that kind of party.

Either way, Im not going to waste my time arguing with..

Cool - then don't. STFU.

your dried up old ass

Leave my ass out of it too! Weirdo! It's neither dried up, nor that old, btw...

why don't you hurry up with your pickup magnet "project" so we can read about something else other than you obsession with your Floyd block? Maybe you're just as obsessed with an A4 magnet who knows?

If you don't like this thread, stay the F out of it, how about that?
Thinking it's going to be A8, but we'll see. Nice attempt at condescension with the quotes around "project", too. But you're not a hater....NO! Taking meds for your anger issues?

I'd like to see if you can form an opinion on gear that's not friend related.

Almost heard the dirt being kicked with that one, too...is him gonna cry?
My opinion on the blocks was formed before I'd even spoken to Adam. I'd like to see if you can post without being a jackass. You haven't yet...


So practice what you preach; stop arguing. Do us all a favor -go try a Tungsten block and post something useful in this thread instead of being a bitch.


But to answer Mailman1971's question - YES THEY DO!

I can dig that....

Psshh, yeah right, I bet every time you bend over a Brass big block falls out
