  1. Thats not Izzy.. His name is Richard Fortus.
  2. For such a big band with such a history and it being so long since they released anything, I was expecting better. Even Slash's own band have better riffs and solos than this. Just not that rocking for a hard rock band.. Didnt hate it mind you. Just a bit nothingy.
  3. The only one I know is the Big Muff Pi... Also theres the guitars controls.. Turn the tone knob down, add some fuzz and that will get you most of the way there. This is worth a watch.
  4. There is no specific guitar for that.. Most of that is going to come more down to the amp and effects you use.. For the guitar, playability has to be the highest consideration... Any Gibson will get you there...
  5. Oh yeah.. Forgot about this thread.. What happened @duane v or did I miss a NGD thread?

    Yeah the Gibson is stunning. But those Epis are a LOT of guitar for the money.

    What.... Like this? https://reverb.com/uk/item/40217124-epiphone-les-paul-custom-koa-natural 😁 Or even this one with Slash pickups in it https://reverb.com/uk/item/68871901-modified-epiphone-les-paul-custom-pro-koa-seymour-duncan-slash-alnico-2-pickups-with-upgraded-electronics
  8. Could be a low cut nut maybe? If the strings are all the way in to the nut slots or even lower it can cause buzzing.
  9. Yes. I also think we are on the verge of a huge leap in technology... Power is one thing I see videos about.. Solid state batteries, nuclear batteries, nuclear fusion at room based temperatures.. Theres also as said AI and robotics that have taken small leaps forward. Also quantum computing.. Flying cars. Man can you imagine.. They have been working on those for ages, but how that would ever be safe I dont know.. Its bad enough with loads of fast moving vehicles on the ground. Just, not ready for that yet I dont think. But yeah, the future is almost here 🙂
  10. Aww.. Very cute... I wish I were in a position to have a pet.. But living alone and in a small flat next to a busy road its just not right... One day maybe.
  11. I also remember trying one out, might have even been the Midtown.. Cant remember now. But when I did I had that black residue o my fingers that some people talked about.. Which put me right off but it may just have been left over from sanding and not being cleaned properly.. Donno.. Either way we have various other real wood substitutes now.. Like this https://www.rocklite.co.uk/ Also from what I know Bob Taylor is the only place to get real legal Ebony now... Yes.. After the government raids and confiscation of all their Rosewood Gibson had to resort to using laminated two pieces boards while it was all being sorted out.
  12. Its no longer listed.. And its just gone, no sold sign... Some are saying Joe B is gonna buy it as he apparently borrows it whenever he is in the country... Either that or it was just there to help advertise the listing maybe?????

    Solstice

    Not all the time but A LOT... And when its not raining its usually dull and grey... So yeah, the rare bit of summer we get each year is precious. Also depends where you are.. Apparently it rains even more in Scotland.

    Solstice

    Well thankfully the weather is awesome over here at the moment.. Quite rare.. Lovely blue skies, temps of about 27 degrees C (about 80F) and a nice cool breeze.. Just doesnt get better.. Perfect summer weather.. Last year it went up to 40 degrees. Hopefully it just stays like it is, that was way too much.
  15. Or one artist signature LP Custom 😄
  16. Including The Beast https://www.atbguitars.com/bernie-marsden-collection?all=1
  17. Ive never tried an acoustic build because I know how hard they are compared to building an electric. Id need a bunch of tools or to make some and a whole loads of templates and jigs and id just rather buy one 🙂 A bolt on kit is easy... Not much for you to do but put it all together.
  18. Hello.. No it wont make any difference to the sound and we have had a thread about pickup spacing here... Hope that helps.
  19. Most SG players already know how to stop neck dive.. A wide leather strap which provides enough grip to stop the neck dive.. Much easier.....
  20. Yeah, as I say I wouldnt either but hey, you never know.. We will find out soon I guess.. Good luck Duane
  21. Agreed... I wouldnt.. But I did buy my 336 P90 online.. The seller had an ok rating its just I dont do that generally, it was my first and only purchase where I hadnt played it first... It was also a bargain at £2600 which is why I took the risk. As it goes I have found an issue recently with it but nothing I cant fix.. I dont know if it came that way from the factory but it has a worse cut nut on it than any Gibson I have ever owned even my comparatively cheap 60s Studio.
