I didn`t see a "solo" per se. Are you talking about the lick around 2:10 or so? I`ve found that experimenting with different guitars can make a pretty big difference. Neck shape is the biggest factor for me. After learning it on heavy strings or whatever, try playing it on a different guitar...

Very nice. My Gryphon does that, but the more expensive Hellraiser doesn`t. One more point for passives

you see! everything was going great til you guys got all technical on me:p I'll just play around with what sounds good, and keep em matched. I'm guessing the volume difference I was 'hearing' was all in my head...it wasn't much, and it's all about the tone anyway

had to look it up, but that's a nice lookin guitar. does it have the coil tap?

what's the deal with active pups? are they hotter, or smoother, or <insert adjective>er? I haven't messed with them much. the only guitar I have access to with active pups(Schecter Hellraiser) doesn't sound as good as my guitar(Schecter Gryphon) with passives IMO. side note; back in the day...

In a perfect world, I would have him raise the hats about 2-3 inches, but he`s super anal about his positioning, and won`t even consider it. Doesn`t matter anymore, cuz these new hats are awesome! On the real, they sound really good. Its actually kind of a good thing that the hats bleed into the...

Thanks guys. I`ve heard something weird about the wattage to volume ratio, tho I don`t really get it. Anyhoo, the BV is a 4X12, and its got this little red 3way switch for ohms, and also has 3 jacks, one of which may be an output to run the bottom cab(mines the angled top cab), but the other 2...

what's the deal with matching(or mismatching) ohms? it's never come up for me until recently. I have an Epiphone ValveJunior amp(5 watts) and a Crate Blue Voodoo cab(200 watts, I believe). the amp has 3 outputs on the back at 16, 8, and 4 ohms, 16 being the one run into the amp itself by...

this would be the ideal way to pull it off, cuz you can really 'sell it' during the video. unless you're a mega-super-rock star, it's generally kinda boring just watching a dude play and sing.

what's your budget? $500 is still considered budget to guys who play $1500-2000 LPs. can't tell you what to buy, but in this biz, you (almost) ALWAYS get what you pay for. some things to consider, tho -if you buy new, ALWAYS spring the extra $$$ for the warranty. even Parkers can get warped in...

are the 81s/85s active? I've never had a good experience with active pups. seems like it makes the volume knob do some weird stuff, like when trying to roll back and let feedback or a sustained note slowly disappear, it's like nothing, nothing, nothing, BIG volume drop, silence. I get a smoother...

a pack of lies!!!:D they're actually a pretty well rounded guitar, if you don't play any hard-ish rock music

I sure hope some one has an aswer to this. I just spent forever typing up the same question

hindsight is 20/20, I guess:) helluva read anyway. should be required reading

wow! bookmarked, thanks. search function sucks, or I suck at using it

after playing that guitar, I promptly went out and bought a guitar with the 3 piece bridge(or stop-tail, or something, I get 'em all confused)

85 pages?! WTF?! :laughings:

I played that guitar....once. hated it. every palm mute would make the strings go waaaaaay sharp, almost to the point of having to play things a half-step down. that has got to be the most sensitive Floyd Rose on the planet. it turned me off to them forever. on the bright side, I realized why I...

:mad: I want some good monitors SOO BAD!!! like, really good $2k monitors. then, maybe I could mix something that doesn't suck

that's pretty awesome! I can almost see my SG or Schecter wearing that
