Not because of what he writes but because the chapters are 1-3 pages SHORT, it's like it was written or told by a teenager. I hope the guy who wrote it for him is at fault.

I saw KWC last night, it was the first time I had heard of them, and they were awesome. What genre are they considered to fall under? Any recommendations for other bands like them? I tend to lurk in these doom threads, and I always like the videos that get posted and stuff. Lead me, dudes.

When I plan build for someone/myself I automatically use locking tuners, BKP pups and hipshot gear, high gradepots/caps and the like so down the road nothing will need to be "swapped out" Yeah it costs more upfront, but its already finished! Good wood is key too, the one im working on right now had a 500 dollar top that was harvested from a bog after 30,000 years of sludgy solitude. Doom creds if ive ever seen em hahhaa

also, thought of you yesterday when we were changing out our latest batch of mead. it's only a month old and it was the first carboy change, but it's already sooo good and it measures at over 16% alcohol already! woohoo! it's a crazy concoction. it has orange, ginger, rosemary, clove, cinnamon, and juniper berries. it was a risky undertaking with all that stuff, but it's turning out great. some of the flavors need to mellow out, but they will over the next six months. our last batch was the best i've ever made, or been involved with making. it was wild huckleberries that me and the lady harvested camping late last summer, supplemented with some blueberries. it's very boozy, pretty dry and fucking delicious. i have high hopes for this batch.

You are going to be in my band or I will stab you in the neck with a pencil." I took it home and listened to it and fell in love with Bill Ward's drumming. Huge impact on me and as much as I love Iommi and Geezer's riffing, fuck them. It ain't Sabbath without Bill Ward holding it down.

I have a question: For personal amusement more than anything else, I was considering whether it was possible to grab a 4x12 and convert it into a 2x15 by building a new front panel and changing the wiring.

Anyone done anything similar?

I think these electric cabs are the same size as a 4x12.

The Wood Wizard wrote:Oh yeah, and aout the whole gear defining your sound thing:

It does.

BUT if you are a good player/good at turning knobs you can really make stuff work for you in ways you wouldnt think. I say this because right now im using a ENGL Fireball 100 which is the nastiest metal amp around right now, im boosting it with a maxon od808. AM I playing djent or death metal?

NOPE,

sickest surf rock sound going right now, playing a don grosh anniverserary strat with a ton of strymon blue sky on spring setting reverb. I AM DICK DALE RIGHT NOW.

If it sounds good use it.

I can hear it working...and i can definitely hear the extra noise too...but, not sure if i like what i hear compared to when its off...i know Matt Pike had this on his board for a while and there other bands that i really like who use comps too (YOB)...wondering how they use it...does anyone here use one?
