    PEDAL FOR METAL

    True enough. I forgot to add the "in general" and in my experience disclaimers.

    PEDAL FOR METAL

    I would recommend adding a 4x10 or 2x10 cab rather than upgrading your current amp at this time. I believe the tnt puts out 300w into 4 ohms (correct me if I'm wrong) and I believe your are only getting around 200w into the 15 at 8 ohms. 300w should be lots for jamming and any relatively local...

    Recording advice

    Thanks for all the advice! I get really good vibes from the engineer (knows what sounds good while still giving us some flexibility) I think I'll probably be going with the 5 just because the the b-c# are a lot cleaner sounding. Edit: we are planning on recording di and then re-amping...

    Recording advice

    Hey, I'm going into the studio for the second time (first that I really care about it). What recommendations do you have for someone inexperienced? Also, I've started using half rounds due to my distaste for the "poppy-ness" of roundwounds. However, I've noticed that in general roundwound...

    Best half round sets

    Yes it is. I most recently bought single d'addario rounds somewhere around 130, 90, 70, 50. (Based on circle k drop tune gauges)

    Best half round sets

    D'addario long scales are about 1/4" too short

    Best half round sets

    I need extra long scale string though because my bass has through body stringing.

    Sounded like a pretty good game. I only saw the third. Apparently both teams were upset with the refs. Kessel and bozak both had big games and looked like the best players on the ice, skating hard and winning races. Montreal scored to make it 5 4 and then couldn't get the puck into the leafs...

    Best half round sets

    I'm looking for a set of 5 string extra long scale for my standard tuned peavey grind and a 4 string set for my drop B tuned ibanez srx590 bass. I'd like both sets to be half round although I would be okay with a roundwound B string. I looked on circle k's website and didn't see anything half...

    Reasons for and against short scale

    What bass do you play? This is most likely how I would tune if I ever bought one

    Reasons for and against short scale

    Hey just looking for opinions each way and why you like/dislike short scale basses. I don't really have money for another bass at the moment but I could see a short scale being useful at some point in my future.

    If I was philly I would dump zherdev. I'd much rather have low skill hard working winger than a highly skilled under performer. Especially considering how deep the flyers are offensively. Zherdev doesn't seem to fit the flyers team model. I was surprised when they picked him up.
