| _________________________________ [Dec 7,2003 4:48pm - Sinistas ""] I don't think that guitar had the King Kelly cutouts. Anyways, this guitar is way cooler: http://www.jcfonline.com/gallery/jack-others-pics/J6462.jpg http://www.jcfonline.com/gallery/jack-others-pics/J6462c.jpg |

| _______________________________ [Dec 8,2003 8:52am - George ""] the last one is nice, but i generally think that metal guitars without emg pickups are just a waste. that last one is real nice though, is that a bc rich? have you guys heard about the new speedtuner thing bc rich has now? its pretty nuts, that might be the next guitar i pick up. |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 8,2003 9:12am - 5 Minutes Hate ""] Those are all really nice guitars! Here's a pic of the one I'm currently using: [img] My cousin had both of these, he gave me the one on the right cause he's such a nice guy!! It's an '81 Destroyer II, the sound is amazing, it plays really well too. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 8,2003 9:29am - handinjury ""] those destroyers are nice:bow: |
| _________________________________ [Dec 8,2003 9:55am - litacore ""] holy crap dude if that's an original Kahler Pro system on a goddamn NECK-THRU of course you covet it! custom jobs are mucho buckos though! George said:it will be mine [img] someday...someday |
| __________________________________ [Dec 8,2003 12:40pm - Kalopsia ""] George said:have you guys heard about the new speedtuner thing bc rich has now? its pretty nuts, that might be the next guitar i pick up. my friends played on a couple of them, mostly the warlock versions. they were some of the best playing guitars they've ever tried. my only problem with them is because of those speed tuners. you're extremely limited with the types of strings you can use. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 8,2003 12:46pm - Kalopsia ""] This baby right here is a Fodera Emperor Elite 5 string. but i can't decide if i wanna go back to 5 string (i originally started playing 5 string) or stick to 4 strings. if i do stay with 4 string i'd probably get the Victor Wooten Monarch Style w/Bolt On Neck underneath: [img] [img] |
| _______________________________ [Dec 8,2003 3:15pm - George ""] THEY FUCKING SOLD IT!!!!!!!! im going to cry. 2800 shoot me:gun: |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 8,2003 3:53pm - A_Cold_Reality ""] I PERSONALLY THINK EMG'S ARE OVERRATED. THEY ARE GOOD PICKUPS, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS PEOPLE MAKE THEM OUT TO BE. I HAD A EMG-81 SET UP IN A JACKSON V AS THE KNECK PICKUP AND aND EMG-85 AS THE BRIDGE PICKUP. WHILE THE SOUND HAD A GOOD METAL VIBE. I FOUND THAT THE PICKUPS THEMSELVES WERE TOO DISTORTD FOR MY TASTE, I HATED THE CLEAR CHANNEL SOUND OF THE PICKUPS. |

The last one is a Ken Lawrence Explorer. Like Hetfield's got. They're all custom orders, cost like $6500 or something. The new system on the BC Rich is the Floyd Rose Speedloader...Seems pretty cool, but I don't know if it does alternate tunings. As for EMGs, my ideal set would be the 89 in the bridge and the H in the neck. \m/ Diversity \m/ |

| _________________________________________ [Dec 8,2003 6:55pm - thegreatspaldino ""] i just played the sexiest bass ever. its like my 5 string... but on a serious diet and a 4 string. active electronics, active pickups... its was an Ibanez SR1300 or something... all custom. it was amazing. i wanted to buy it as soon as i picked it up and went through the opening to "Jerry was a Racecar Driver". man... was that thing mint. |

| __________________________________ [Dec 8,2003 10:36pm - Kalopsia ""] Seriously, I never understood that. Why would someone drop range when they can get a 7-string? because they obviously don't need that extra high string. like right now i'm playing a 4 string bass, and i'm using .55-.110 gauge strings so that i can tune to a low C. now i could get a 5 string, get light strings, roughly .40-.120, and tune up to low C. but now i have a high G# string, which granted it now gives me more options when playing, but how often would i use it? and if i'm trying to play chords on the lower strings it'll just get in the way. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 8,2003 10:39pm - George ""] no that guitar is a standard because 7 strings are retarted and a trend. use a baritone like i do, the neck is longer so you get a bassier sound. and dont give me that, ohh you can use them right if you want to, cause im sure you can, i just dont care, i think they're lame. |
| _______________________________________ [Dec 8,2003 10:54pm - DeOdiumMortis ""] I meant get something like that. I know it's just a stock setup, if I could afford a custom I'd get one. Mine is a little longer scale than any 6-string I've owned and it intonates well and carries enough low end to keep me happy without getting too muddy. Just because they're usually used for evil doesn't mean they have to be. You won't hear me playing any retarded trendy crap on mine, I have it because I like the increased range that I wouldn't get with a detuned 6-string. If 7-strings are a trend then so are 5-string basses. Not trying to change your opinion, just justifying mine. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 12:02am - HiImPaul ""] 7 strings are trend??? Totally bullshit, I cant stand when kids say that shit. "derrr because korn usez dem" Fuck that. A ton of good DM bands utilize the 7 string. Tuning down a 6 string all the way to B kills the action and makes it so you cant get the sound out of a high E. Not to mention the 7 string stays in tune with no problem. A lot of downtuned 6 strings wont stay in tune, and if your playing a show and hitting a ton of notes you'll go out of tune. I used to down tune my 6 string to B then I got sick of the shitty action and got a 7 string. Before you knock the instrument fucking try it. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 12:17am - George ""] a: you can fix the inotation so that the action isnt so low and it doesnt go out of tune. b: i have a baritone, its basicly a 7 string without the high e. its got a longer neck and such. c: ive played 7 strings before. my friend in my guitar ensamble has one. he likes it, i dont. d: they're a trend. |
| __________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 12:49am - Kalopsia ""] hey george, you know what else is a trend? THE FUCKING GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| __________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 12:59am - Kalopsia ""] it's just to prove a point man. playing music has practically become a trend in itself. i work at guitar center, and i can't tell u how many 14-16 year old idiots i get coming in, looking for a Boss Metal Zone, or just a multi-effects pedal but for no more than $50. we have a damn near endless supply of cheap squier guitars because we know this month thousands of parents are going to buy one for their kid so they can start learning guitar because playing guitar is the "cool thing to do" nowadays. so george if you wanna avoid being part of a trend, stop playing guitar. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 1:02am - Terence ""] Kalopsia said:hey george, you know what else is a trend? THE FUCKING GUITAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now if you want to go into even deeper philosophy, everything is a trend. there, end of thread! |

| _______________________________ [Dec 9,2003 1:17am - George ""] Kalopsia said:so george if you wanna avoid being part of a trend, stop playing guitar. no thanks. i kind of like playing guitar. the real point is, i think 7 string guitars are useless. you dont need your high e string. if you were playing jazz or blues, than i would understand, but this is metal, and we're all using that low b string for the same thing. just tune your regular guitar down, if you have shitty action just go to broken neck guitar shop and have them fix it for 20 bucks instead of blowing 700 on an entirely new guitar. blahblahblahblah do whatever you want. |

| _______________________________ [Dec 9,2003 1:50am - George ""] cannibal corpse and opeth and morbid angel all use 6 string guitars. at least to my knoledge. do we have to keep on bickering about this? you dont need another high string to solo. i dont fucking care anymore. go play your 7 string guitar. thats fanstastic. im closeminded, im immature, thats nice, go cry about it. |
| _________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 1:57am - Kalopsia ""] cannibal corpse uses a 7 string dingus, and i'm a bassist.:middlefinger: |
| ________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 1:59am - Terence ""] Trey used to use a 7 string back in 1992 for the recording of Covenant. He even uses it in the "God of Emptiness" video. THAT WAS BEFORE KORN. :D |
| _________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 3:02am - Kalopsia ""] he still uses a 7 string |
| _________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 7:09am - Sinistas ""] Jeff Loomis from Nevermore uses a 7 to great effect. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 11:25am - handinjury ""] cannibal has been using 7 strings since the VILE album. If your going to tune your 6 string down you got to have it set up(neck/intonation/bridge adjustment) by a tech. best $50 spent.:point: |
| ________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 11:33am - George ""] my point was, if you have a six string guitar, it makes alot more sense to spend 50 bucks and get your guitar adjusted to you can drop it down, instead of blowing another 700 or whatever on a new guitar. but the real point is, they sold my deicide guitar, and its gone forever, and im going to die a cold sad lonely old man. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 9,2003 12:33pm - handinjury ""] I tune my 7 string to b flat ( a la cannibal) :satancross: |

Dude, that wasn't the point. 6 strings (standard ones anyway) and 7 strings alike have high e strings. Some guitarists like yourself, prefer to have a baritone. That is fine. If you are going to be playing lots of lower pitch stuff then great! Get a baritone! But some guitarists like the lower stuff without losing the versatility of a whole fucking string. Think about it. A standard guitar has 22 frets. (Assuming that you are in standard tuning) a guitar with no high e string, despite gaining lower range, loses 2 and a half steps of range (not including bending). This may not sound like a big deal, but in metal, a lot of the stuff is in e minor, or a type of e minor. This means that during a solo, if you want to hit that high e (22nd fret on e sting bent up a step) you can't. You would have to bend the 22nd fret of the high b string up 3 and a half steps. I dare you to do this. Anyhow, my point is, whatever floats your boat. No need to critisize other peoples guitars or choice of guitar. Plus I just want to point out that I don't have a 7-string or a baritone, nor have I ever played either, so I am not picking sides. |
