I absolutely sucked at Guitar Hero at first... until I stopped trying to play it like a guitar. It got a lot easier after that.

Speaking of which... GW, what gear do you have?

Right now, I have a BC Rich, V , one of middle quality ( NOT the 1,000 dollar one but the 600 dollar one), a few 15 W amps and a Marshall half stack that i took with me when i got booted from the band. I got a few footpedals but I detest using them. My small amps are Line 6 Spiders 3 and 4. I use thicker strings than most on my V.

Good stuff.

I got a Jackson Dinky that I swapped the pickups out of for the same ones Mustaine was using around Countdown to Extinction (SH2B and SH4N). No guitar amp right now.

Got a Warwick Corvette 5, a Schecter Studio 5 Fretless, and a Schecter Elite 5 with active pickups for my basses. A GK MB115 practice amp, Markbass SD800 Head with an Ampeg 4x10 and 1x15 underneath.

Also have a Yamaha classical, Yamaha digital piano, and a King Morton upright bass.

And I wish I had more. :)

We should jam together! Although you're probably much better than I am. :laugh: I was looking at some different pickups, as I've been using the stock ones. But I've been thinking about experimenting.

If you don't have a lot of experience with soldering, get ready for some trial and error. :laugh: I was horrible the first couple of times I tried something like that.

As for jamming, it would be awesome, but would be kinda hard with me living in NC, no?

:laugh: It'd be extremely difficult!:laugh:

And yeah, I figured I should make sure I'm 100000% sure I know what I'd be doing before I switch em out. I'd be going for a Machine Head sort of style once they're in.

Look into EMG 81 pickups. I believe that's what Flynn uses. If you wanna mix it up a little bit and get something a little smoother as well, you could think about putting an 81 in the neck and an 85 in the bridge. If you have two pickups that is. I actually think EMG does their stuff solderless now too. Could be cool. At least you won't have to do what I did, since I was using active electronics and had to have batteries involved. :)

Hmmm. I've always been a rough around the edges sorta player, like those big rough chunky riffs.

And then I have my guilty pleasures that are really 80's like Billy Idol, who is aweosme. :handclap:

Well, you may think about getting the 85 in there. It isn't like an 81/85 setup is uncommon. In fact, it's kinda classic.

Alright, I gotta head to sleep. Work in the AM. Good convos tonight. Always enjoy discussing music.

Twenty days until I have full jurisdiction over my body. Then another four months until I can reasonably take vacation time.

I guess you're interpreting things the way you wish they were written because there was no veiled intent behind that post at all. :laugh:

No way. You're going to be in the WSOP? You better wear a Ranger jersey on TV.

Edit - I believe this was my 15,000th post.

15K :clap:

WSOP has like 60 tournaments a year. Very little receives attention outside the poker world. The best most events will get is an article for the eventual winner or someone famous who final tabled, interview, sound bite etc.

Within the poker world though, a bracelet is worth as much as a year's earnings.
