    Kalium alternatives

    This isn't another bash Kalium thread - it is what it is. Looking for alternatives. What I like most about Kalium - First and foremost, I like the way they feel. I use lighter gauge, in general, and they feel less "sticky" than other roundwounds, while being very flexible, IMO. Second, I like...

    Do some of you embrace fret sizzle?

    I'll go against the grain of purists here, since I was one for so long. Then I learned that I like what I like and I don't give a crap what others like.

    First rack system and I have a question...

    Not sure if there's a "right" answer, but I always put amps and heavier gear in the bottom of the rack. Seems to put less stress on the rack rails that way.

    Have you ever stopped playing in the middle of a song?

    When my narcissism kicks in during a gig, what I usually do is remove one article of clothing after each song. By the 6th song, most of the place is cleared out. Funny chit!!

    Not one ounce of musical talent and this gets 57 Million You Tube views

    It's a common misconception that "musical talent" is directly correlated to "entertainment value". One can learn the difference, accept it, and use it to your benefit...or one can bitch that the masses have horrible taste in music. I play in a popular local band because it is an entertaining...
