[QUOTE=Franke_R!?;28112537]My point is complete, or should I say arrow?[/QUOTE] Now that you mention it, the Explorer body looks suspiciously similar to a halberd head...

What EQ pedal would you guys recommend

MXR 10 band

[QUOTE=eventual0;28112463]How does the Epiphone Thunderbird go up against the Gibson Thunderbird? Here is two pics: First the Epiphone version [img_thumb]http://www.mamut.net/riff/lu101261.jpg[/img_thumb] Here is the Gibson version [img_thumb]http://images.gibson.com/Files/d2c1fd3c-983b-4fd5-88e6-f00acd5f9947.jpg[/img_thumb] Whats the diffrence specvise?[/QUOTE] From what I've heard, the five-string Epi Thunder outclasses the four-string in every way, while not being much more expensive.

[QUOTE=Xenocidebot;28100971]I don't know think the Rage is terribly hot, and without knowing what the effects pedal is I can't comment, but if the ESP is like new, you're getting a $400 guitar at less than and with some extra crap. You can see on Google that some $400 LTD models go for about $300 used. So if the other crap ends up being worth $50, it's at least fair market value.[/QUOTE] I knew I should have put it. It's a KORG AXG5.

It is GLORIOUS! [img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Photo_Feb_17_3_46_38_PM1.jpg[/img_thumb] $200 for it. It's used, has a few scratches but plays fucking awesome.

[QUOTE=Robot Jesus;28117804]I knew I should have put it. It's a KORG AXG5.[/QUOTE] Never heard of it and can't find it online. I guess it's an okay deal? I mean, at least the guitar is worth that if it's in good shape and you probably wouldn't get much in the way of a pedal and amp for $50 anyway. If that's just your budget maybe look at what you can find online and compare what you could get for that. Like, you can find decent Schecters, Ibbys and other LTDs around that price range on clearance or used online, same for amps. You could get an Omen or ART100 and a Roland Cube for about that. And I feel kinda stupid now but if list for that guitar was $400, $300's still a common sale price in stores new (most stuff at retailers is marked down but in actuality the "list" price is inflated.)

Aughghg :argh: I lost the only thick pick I have and the only ones here are flimsy thin ones I hate flimsy picks Gotta get more thick ones.

[QUOTE=PwnNoobsFtw;28116197]Do they make six string Thunderbirds [editline]17th February 2011[/editline] That'd be pretty sweet[/QUOTE] I've seen an 8-string Thunderbird but that was a custom job. And with 8-string I mean single-course.

[QUOTE=Shibbey;28128695]Thunderbird-styled chapman stick. :pcgaming:[/QUOTE] One half was fretless and one half was fretted but it was one neck instead of two.

[QUOTE=Franke_R!?;28128909]One half was fretless and one half was fretted but it was one neck instead of two.[/QUOTE] That. Sounds really cool, I'd actually use one of those, but I'd prefer two necks for the sake of simplicity.

I like Ash bodies myself more but from those two I would go with the elite.

I second that, go with the Elite.

[QUOTE=Dopey Trout;28130877]Considering that a 4 string Thunderbird doesn't balance for shit a 6 string may as well not have a strap considering how often it'll end up on the floor[/QUOTE] I've heard the balance problems can be nullified by moving the strap thingy to somewhere else.

I couldn't balance a Firebird when I sat with it, considering a Thunderbird has another 6 inches on a Firebird I can't see how, but I'll take your word for it

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HeT9w5DWAE&feature=related[/media] Fucking awesome song! [quote=Lyrics]Taste the bile down in my throat Be the flea I'll be your goat Raining down from stars above Endless streams of plastic love Feel the core that's melting down See the fools are wearing crowns Twist the blade you sank in me Sleep again with the enemy You mess me up and shoot me down But I'll go fighting The dirty heads roll in the ground But keep on biting The cloud is closing in my shade The one that follows you just won't go away Fear is in your eyes to stay Who's to blame in the end of the day Time to rise up in the sky Time to bridge those walls too high Time to bring down the evil king Time to feel this hovering You mess me up and shoot me down But I'll go fighting The dirty heads roll in the ground But keep on biting[/quote]

[QUOTE=Dopey Trout;28131110]I couldn't balance a Firebird when I sat with it, considering a Thunderbird has another 6 inches on a Firebird I can't see how, but I'll take your word for it[/QUOTE] Thunderbirds are fine when sitting down, I don't see where you found the problem.

Just got my first Fender. Fender Tornado Deluxe series, the rare blonde finish with red turtuoise pickguard. I can only say one thing about the sound, excellent. What did i trade? Some old crap i had laying around and 10 bux

My Jazz IIIs finally came in. I can see the appeal, but I kinda like my ultex sharps more. Probably just my bigass hands. The tips on the IIIs are nicer, I just feel like I barely have control of it.

I use these because they're quite nice. [img]http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/7280/tortex1mm.png[/img] But I'm not a fan of plectrums to be honest because I can play faster with my fingers and my hand-eye coördination is better when I use my fingers.

I can't play with picks that aren't cactus, I always sweat my hands when I play so I drop them

[QUOTE=Nonikai;28108369]RobChappers is a god[/QUOTE] yeah, i might get the ml-2 guitar he makes and mod the fuck out of it. its only £200

Is Behringer GM108 V-Tone a good amp?

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbKwD9J4tmg[/media] Sounds okay for a practice/beginner amp. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjJVvpRF86o&feature=related[/media]

The 81/85 combo is the most definitive and well-known EMG combo. Though personally I think the X-series 81 and 85 sound even better.
