Can I join the Korn now?

Been wanting one to screw around and try with high A 7th string like originally intended (I know, I know!)

Got a customer return for less than the lowest Reverb price by a pizza or two, and return policy.

I figured I owed myself a gift after giving the BC Rich back to the kid for Christmas (through his mother) with the admonition it is to never be sold again!

Yes, you can join Korn, but only if lordgalvar says it's OK. :idk:

I can be a crippled Munky or Head (Cheese).

I don't know and won't learn any of their songs and can ONLY improve the show by flat out playing for the moment instead of the nostalgias!

Fun fact, I used to have a Korn Christmas single on red vinyl. Not sure what happened to it. I wonder if it's worth money.

I was looking for shitty christmas music today on spotify and found a korn song called jingle balls. It was not good.

That may have been on my vinyl.

Ha yup. Had an hour drive to the in-laws so I decided to treat my special lady to a holiday playlist of magic and wonder. We laughed, we cried, we ate taco bell.

That sounds like my day.

Except I'm by myself, laughing and crying in the Taco Bell parking lot

I thought eating a double decker taco while listening to koRn was grim but you win. What're your favorite taco bell menu items?

Spicy potato soft taco and cheesy gordita crunch with black beans instead of beef. :cool:

What I miss is a time-limited one they've never done again from the mid-90s, the "Cheeseburger Taco".

It was awful, but uniquely awful.

Much like the band korn haha. You get that seven string setup in your perverse tuning yet?

I haven't yet, I've been knocked on my ass by recurring health issues the last couple days - only way to get ahead was to spend most of them in bed and doing any sort of delicate work was beyond what the pain would let me do.

After my couple days of rest, I tacked the hell - somewhat.

I did a full setup of the thing for the standard low B, then figured I'd see how fast I broke the E going to A. It held without complaint.

An hour of abusing both ends, and I'm not sure whether I need to keep the low B or the A when compared on the same damn guitar.

The answer sadly may be buying a second one, but I am not that insane yet.
