/g/ New Guitar Appresh[views:10724][posts:74]__________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 7:05am - corpus_colostomy ""] [img] neck through. mahogs body. 81/85 combo. pearl binding. reverse head stock. let the decimation begin. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 26,2008 7:35am - timma ""] Wow....now THAT is a rock-n-roll machine right there. Well done, sir. :nod: |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 7:43am - corpus_colostomy ""] thanks man. im psyched to get it so i can start chipping away at the new dysentery shit. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 26,2008 7:48am - timma ""] From a purely cosmetic standpoint, I really like how the white binding on the body goes up the neck and around the headstock...haven't seen that style on a b/w guitar. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 7:59am - corpus_colostomy ""] only other one i know off the top of muh head, would be the ltd m-1000. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 26,2008 8:47am - timma ""] Troof...doesn't go around the body like yours does, and well...you've got a B.C. fucking Rich. You're automatically more metal and better than most people. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 8:49am - largefreakatzero ""] Now that is a very metal axe -- me thinks you'll enjoy that. I just bought Hoser's M-320 -- I haven't had a chance to set it up though. |

| __________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 9:06am - corpus_colostomy ""] B what kind? pics? |
| __________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 9:11am - brian_dc ""] It's an NJ Neck-Thru Series Mockingbird. Translucent Red. They don't appear to make them anymore and I haven't had a picture of the thing for awhile. I'm thinking of getting it fixed up since I think Pires and I are starting some sort of death metal project. http://www.bcrich.com/Mockingbird_calibre.asp it's close to looking like that. Same color and fretboard inlays. Different headstock, black hardware, and floyd rose instead of stoptail, though. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 9:11am - brian_dc ""] I replaced the stock pickups with Dimarzio Evolution's. |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 10:34am - archaeon ""] Pertyyyy I've never played a B.C. Rich that was over $300. Really curious to how the high end of B.C. stuff plays. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 10:38am - corpus_colostomy ""] this is just below 'high end' imo. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 10:39am - brian_dc ""] yeah, mine was in the $800 range. Good guitar...some of the hardware and electronics were shoddy though. I had better luck with the LTD (with more strenuous use, as well) when it came to it holding together. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 10:45am - GoatCatalyst ""] Congrats on your lovely acquisition, Nick. As the proud father of two neck-thru USA Warlocks, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the club. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 10:46am - GoatCatalyst ""] And yes, they do make us better than most people. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 1:21pm - NoodleFace ""] Pretty sweet for sure, is that an OFR or licensed? Looks damn nice Here's my new one: [img] Purple is totally metal and James from Arsis uses the same exact guitar. In fact, I haven't seen him with the purple RG in awhile so maybe I have his. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 1:25pm - corpus_colostomy ""] thats hot as fuck. its Licenced btw. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 1:28pm - Martins ""] Get rid of the EMGs guy. Otherwise, solid looking and probably sounding guitar. |

| _________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 1:38pm - Martins ""] EMGs are bland and boring sounding. If you really want to go active there are other choices out there. There are other EMGs and then there's the SD Blackout and I'm sure there are more out there. Even then, passive is the way to go for real tone. |

(a robot with a heart of weed possibly but he is still not to be trusted.) |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 1:51pm - largefreakatzero ""] I disagree completely -- I have 2 guitars with 81s and 1 guitar with a 60 and I like both. I'll let you tone-whores fight it out. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 2:00pm - corpus_colostomy ""] only emg's for me. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 2:00pm - Martins ""] I have a dick in one guitar and a cawk in my other. Best pickups I've ever heard. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 2:36pm - brian_dc ""] hate EMGs. Hate, hate, hatem. |

(a robot with a heart of weed possibly but he is still not to be trusted.) I usually work 40 hours, sometimes much more, manual labor, don't consume beer and have a heart of tacos. You can trust me though, because I am all about EMG 81 in the neck position for a tone sweeter than a Cheesy Gordita Crunch. Speaking of which, I finally get to replace the 60 in my LTD with an 81 as soon as Grant wants to drop it off in Woburn (hint hint). That guitar is my soulmate, but the 60 does no justice for its tone; it's been out of commission for quite some time now. Maybe I'll get a CGC to accompany the 81. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 3:40pm - archaeon ""] tell eliot to jam with me and ill leave it there baybay |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 3:43pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Tell yourself to drive to Woburn tonight and drop it off. And you can witness Composted create the slammiest song in history. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 3:55pm - archaeon ""] what time are you guys jamming? |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 4:01pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] We'll be getting down to business at approximately 7 pm. |
| __________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 4:17pm - archaeon ""] I'll text you when im leaving. are you getting food in wooooburn before because i may want to tag along. |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 4:17pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] You are the man! I'm getting food on the way. I need a CGC, and Woburn just doesn't have that. |
| __________________________________________ [Aug 26,2008 7:10pm - corpus_colostomy ""] 60 is normally a neck pick up. (james hetfieldgayfagqueer.) i use it for the bridge. (disgorge does to) NOTE: if your in dysentery or any other slammy death metal band.... you dont need a neck pick up...BECAUSE YOU DONT PLAY LEADS. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 27,2008 1:11am - NoodleFace ""] I used to hate emgs when I played my Blackmore, Fireball, and Powerball.. however now that I use a 5150 I love the EMGs. I love them so much that I just sold my ESP M-II with passives because the RG550 is my new main guitar. To each his own, really. I won't replace the pickups in this guitar for sure. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 27,2008 10:11am - immortal13 ""] In my opinion, active pickups sound better. But that's all for bass. Guitars don't really matter to me as much because all I really do is play in my room. |

| _____________________________________ [Aug 27,2008 2:54pm - corpus nli ""] the 60 is easily the best emg out there. SUPER underrated and easily the most versatile. of course this is nothing but semantics to you anti-emg doods. an 81 is was way to harsh imo for a bridge pu. if it wasnt 'cutting the mustard' its because your axe is prob made of super young, and probobly mank ass wood (swamp ass / basswood.)... |

| __________________________________________ [Aug 27,2008 3:05pm - largefreakatzero ""] I like the EMG 60 -- I have one in the bridge position in my Ibanhad. It's warmer and not as brash sounding as the 81 -- though I like the nastiness of the 81 as well. |

| _____________________________________________ [Aug 27,2008 3:24pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] The 60, at least in my LTD, paled in comparison to the 81 in terms of tone. When I played the LTD with the 60 in it, notes sounded like they were missing or too subtle all over the place and sounded a bit too dry; it also did not pick up the attack I was giving the strings, essential for proper slamming. As soon as I started playing Eliot's Schecter (which is now my Schecter) with an 81 I realized how much of a difference there is. Now that there's an 81 in the LTD, the sound is nearly identical to the Schecter. If you want I'll still measure my dick for you. :* |

What's the point in having two guitars then? |
| _____________________________________________ [Aug 27,2008 6:58pm - markfuckingrichards ""] Well, they're not completely identical, plus they both feel different. The main reason to have both though is that I need a back up, since I break tons of strings. And, eventually I'm going to need 2 guitars both tuned differently (1 for Composted and 1 for The Body Farm). |
| _________________________________ [Aug 27,2008 8:16pm - Martins ""] Backup guitars are for pussies. |
