haha! Thought you might say that. The clinic is handy though for getting ideas on how things could be improved on something you already consider pretty good. I've posted two "complete" songs in there (aside from fucking about the blues or Ukuleles) and while not every comment was helpful, some...

Sounds like you've totally fallen out of love with it. Saying that, I did too for a couple of years, then I sorted my swede out, started playing more, started posting here to learn about recording, started re-doing a few old songs that I knocking about... then wrote a bunch of new songs. I...

Cheers, jimi. Guys, apologies for using the Tone Thread as a kind of preliminary mixing clinic, I was quite pleased with how that old Washburn was sounding though. When I've had the time to fuck this track up with dodgy vocals and crap lyrics I'll post it over there instead!

Yeah, I know which bits you mean :D I hated them at first but couldn't be arsed to change them, then I got used to them. I'll do a bit of work tweaking drums when I've had a few days off this one.

Ah, I like the temporary. It's cool.

I wasn't aware Epiphone had a Korean factory (until now). I assumed they were all in China. My experience of Korean guitars - owning one myself and having played a few is good - if that's a Korean guitar it could still be a decent deal. Even though owning it won't feel like you own a Gibson...

Greg, that sounds pretty good and there's definitely a good song in there. You could easily remove that wah guitar and replace it with something more punky and come up with a more punky bassline and it would sound similar to your usual stuff. If I had that drum track I'd just work with it and...

Cheers guys, this one is probably 2nd or 3rd on the "too finish" list at the moment. I'm having a productive few weeks with lyrics at the moment too so I should get a bit done when I next have time to do vox. Greg, the chords at the start are the same sequence as Motorbreath of Kill'em All...

Yeah, I was disappointed with you p0rn collection so I decided to rob one of your songs! Sounds like the same chord sequence exactly!

Here's the riff and tone I was working on last weekend - finsihed writing the music and re-tracked the whole thing this today after re-stringing my washburn and sticking it on the left. The Washburn is a much thicker tone than the pointy Ibanez.

haha, excellent! GLC were massive around my way. This one is probably more relevant to our conversation about rap though! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICG0MuzEYzw Although full comedy UK rap/dance mode! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7nJzF6qqUQM

LOL - you've aced it! Here's some UK Rap that sounds a fair bit like US stuff: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7Y5Y1AM88k

I don't really know how its perceived generally. It might be different in the UK to the US too. I agree with you that its generally pretty disgusting though. But then that could be more to do with US rap and hip hop though, I think the UK stuff tend to be a fair bit less materialistic and...

Actually, I think a lot of rap is fucking terrible for similar reasons too. But there you go.

To be fair, I think the allegations of racism, misogyny and homophobia were mainly directed at Axl Rose rather than GnR as a whole. I obviously didn't get into GnR until the early 90s - certainly in the UK music press Axl already had a pretty bad reputation, mainly due to the lyrics of One In A...

Ray, I do agree with your on your opinion of GnR, but they did have some good rock songs. The Birthday Party were fucking great though!

Ah, I'm sure it will turn up in crap shop that sells 2nd hand gear next to a studio that I've used a few times... maybe not. I did listen to a little bit of Dokken - it was almost unlistenable!

Yeah, they talk about his actually guitar a bit in that video - some Chinese knock off with a pair of Duncans in it apparently. Still, I think they have the AFD tone pretty well done there - 7 grand seems a lot to spend on a guitar tone though! Had to check out that guitar while I was just...

Greg, you might like this. Scroll forwards to 16 minutes in, its a 6000 grand Les Paul Custom into a Marshall AFD 100 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9hebxod540

I didn't think a luthier would be able to do anything about the amount the neck flexes and how much I need to constantly adjust the trust rod - I thought that was just a feature! EDIT: Just checked out that BDI21 - crazy cheep for what it is.
