well i decided to try and write out the drums for one of my bands songs so i could get a better recording of the damn thing. this is an original called Into a Void..it's your typical thrash song...but i kind of quot;remasteredquot; the song and it came out fairly decent. the solo needs A LOT of work, but i jsut never got around to changing it...it's easily one of my worst and most underdeveloped solo's for my originals..but thats alright for right now. PLEASE tell me what you guys thinks

I heard that this is a legendary pedal that Boss isn't producing anymore, but it should be good at creating some cool metal tones if you tweak it right. Can anyone in here tell me if it's true that it's so good, and if possible, does anyone have any sound clips with it?

there's a few up on ebay....couple original quick rods and two new ones with third gear..

Do you guys know what EC was playing on the Cream bootleg from the Ricky Tick Club? I believe the gig was in '66 or '67.

I've decided to take a break from the strict ascending/descending scalar type patterns for Part 3 of Warm Up Tips, since several forum bros have asked me about finger strengthening and hammer on/pull off exercises.

Hey guys I've been looking for new pickups for my Ibanez SA160QM and I really need your guys help because I haven't had the opportunity to try the variety of pickups out. I own a guitar with a mahagony body and maple neck. However, the body is really thin so the tone won't be nearly as fat as say....a Les Paul. I'm looking for a bridge pickup that will give me a nice fat tone without muddiness. In addition, I'm gonna be using the guitar for a variety of stuff including metalish songs (megadeth) and punkish songs (weezer/sum41). So far...i've been leaning more towards Dimarzio pickups such as the Tone Zone, Air Zone, and Breed. But feel free to recommend SD pickups. Oh yea, since this is a mahagony bodied guitar...I dont want too much low end becuase I'm afraid the mahagony will make it muddy.

The tape on a humbucker doesn't make any difference to tone right? So why does SD use that cloth tape and not just normal black electrical tape?

I've never had pickups installed before so I need your advice as to what wiring would be best. I've got a JB for the bridge, Vintage Rails for the middle, and Cool Rails for the neck. It's a 5-way switch. How would YOU wire this (I gotta explain this to the music store guy so please don't make it extremely complicated)?

Alright, on my mandolin, the bass strings are quot;thuddyquot;. They dont resonate well. I'm thinking of doing something I saw a slide guitarist do in Dan E's guitar player repair guide. Should I make grooves in the saddle where the D and G strings are and replace the grooves that I cut out with deer antler? I know it'll brighten up the sound and make the bass strings stand out more than they are now, but I'm not so sure it'll be worth the effort.
