    What's your desert island effect?

    A controversial one here i'm sure - Behringer Limiter/Expander. It's the only pedal i use in EVERYTHING.

    THE OLP MEGATHREAD !!!

    Just bought one of the black and maple OLP MM2's on EBay for a silly low price. Looking forward to seeing how it sounds, and then modding the hell out of it :) So far i'm guessing a full overhaul on the electrics is due. Want to keep it passive though. No doubt a new bridge is in order...

    Goth vs Emo

    Pretty sure that todays "goths" aren't really what I remember goths being back in the day. I still remember goth as being an offshoot from punk, and you didn't f*ck with the goths, because they might have been skinny, but they were mental. These days they all seem to just be a little "wishy washy".

    So who has GOOD band chemistry? ( guitarist content)

    Excellent chemistry in my band. Which is odd as we're all from vastly differing musical backgrounds, and there's quite an agegap (guitarist and I are mid/late thirties, singer and drummer early twenties). I've never worked with such a mature feeling group of people before. No drama, no egos...

    Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinkys - stainless steel. On my MIM Jazz.

    When did you have your 'ah ha!' moment?

    I had a break of nearly ten years from playing guitar and bass. During that time I was producing electronic music. Came back to playing, and realised that the theory i'd learned over the last ten years had helped SO much.
