This is the beast at the moment

So, it's almost been a year since I updated this. I've been busy with bands, school, and other projects and left the esquire half painted in my corner to sit. It's back to an empty summer, so I'm going to resume work on the esquire. I'll get some more pics of it now, since the fretboard was...

Well, I'm technically too young to own a gun, but I often go shooting. I usually use a Baretta 92, a 12 or 20 ga., I often shoot my brothers black powder .50 cal or .243 Win. One of my good friends lets me take out his Mosin Nagant often too, or his 7x57 Mauser. Shootings been a pastime of mine...

Make sure you're wiring is correctly grounded and your cavities are all correctly shielded. Look for any loose/broken connections in your wiring too. Always do this first when you have a problem. I don't know of any good places in Atlanta (Mostly because I've never looked), but if its just a...

You can always take out a high grit sanding block or steel wool to make it matte. But, if you really want something nice you can probably find some good looking matte pup covers on eBay.

Most pickup covers will be the same at any price point, they're all a piece of plastic. And if you want them matte, juts take some steel wool to them and scuff them up nice and even. Most pickup covers are created equal, so as long as it fits I wouldn't really care, as the "chana cheapos" are...

In my band, we played in a non-insulated garage. The floor was concrete. When A car drove in we drowned it out. I estimate mine to be around 90 db, it was ridiculous loud in there.

I only replace sets after I break strings (I play 105's, and often break E's). I keep the unbroken strings in an old jewelry box, as often they are still pretty good sounding when I break them.

I started out on guitar (playing blues) so when I switched to bass the bending was just part of my technique. I use it from minor vibrato to screaming leads. Its understandable why a lot of people with a low radius don't bend, as it frets out ridiculously quick. I also don't understand why...

Thanks for the info! I've looked around a ridiculous amount about the rig he used, but the only info is on his pedals, never on his amps or cabs.

Anybody have an idea of what he usually used? I also would like to know what amp/cab is in this video: Any help is appreciated.

Ha, I found out why I was having too much distortion. I was running my TT into the Phono Preamp input on my Sony sytem, without realising that the AT-PL50 had an internal preamp. I ran it into the Aux. input on the same system, and it sounds FANTASTIC! I run the TT into my reciever (A vintage...

Yeah, I would definitely agree is has more W&F and unwanted Distortion than I would like, but Its a lot better than I expected. As long as its not destroying my records I'm fine.

Ok, I finally borrowed a turntable from one of my buddies, but don't know if its any good. The table is labaled Audio-Technica AT-PL50. Is this table any good?

I'm pretty sure this is technically a fight scene
