  1. Thanks guys. I'm planning on playing in a new band with this...style is going to be experimental mixed with post-hardcore and some ambient elements. My EC-1000 has been my workhorse for a long time, but I don't think it can do exactly what I want for this band. I'll be using the 6505+'s rhythm and crunch channels a lot, and only really going to the lead channel for solo/lead work here and there. The sound I'm looking for is big and jangly with a good amount of grind when I need it. So that brings me to the next question...which model of Tele would be the best? There's a lot to choose from. I would like to keep it under $1000 if possible.

  2. The only metal I really like is Scandanavian style melodic death bands like Insomnium and old In Flames. I like them more for their strong sense of melody though. I like a couple djent musicians, but they get old quick unless they are really outstanding like Cloudkicker, for example. When I listen to music to enjoy it, I'm usually listening to something other than metal though.

  3. I'm going to guess that 75% of the people on this forum who jump on the Bash Peavey speaker band wagon, never have even played through a Peavey speaker loaded cab.

     

    Right. :facepalm: I've owned a 5150 4x12 slant that I ran over $10,000 worth of amps through over a span of around 7 years. The consensus that they suck is absolutely right IMO. In fact, that might be the single worst sounding piece of gear I've owned in my 11 years of playing.

  4. What speakers are good? The 5150 speakers are known for being horrible, the XXX speakers are thin sounding and aren't all that wonderful, and no one really ever talks about the JSX cab or plays it but the few clips I heard weren't inspiring.

     

    This. The Sheffield 1200's (5150 cab stock speakers) are usually considered their best, and those are horrible. Peavey definitely does not make good sounding speakers IMO.

  5. ever have sex on your amp?.........don't askkkkk

     

    I like to lay the cab on it's back, crank the amp and have the GF squat over it. Then I play some tasty metal riffs and it drives her crazy. If you can imagine me headbanging in slow motion with one foot up on the edge of the cab and the guitar protruding from my crotch while a naked chick is writhing around on my cab...it's pretty much like a Motley Crue video. Sometimes I even tease her pooper with the headstock of my guitar during this process.

  6. To the OP...haven't tried strobes, but that does sound like fun. I'm not sure what the neighbors will think when they see strobes in the window and a flashing silhouette of me riding the lady friend projected on the blinds though.

     

    I have done it with a bunch of those flexible glow stick bracelet/necklace things all over both of us though like a bunch of rave kids. Looks pretty cool in the dark :love:

    Umm,that sucked.His slow playing had no feel and his vibrato is weak,not to mention much of his bending is out of tune.The fast playing is sloppy and inaccurate (you can hear open strings sounding all over the place).Wasn't impressed at all,though I will say he is a lot better than I was at 15.



    Please STFU.

    I'm not defending Saddams actions on any of his past history, however compare this scenario to one where the US president is in his shoes.


    We illegally (as far as world court of oppinion is concerned) invaded Iraq and over threw the government. If that happened here, I would hope that my president had enough balls and dignity to go down with the ship. In his mind (and in the mind of the majority of the world) Saddam is on the right side of the fence in claiming that the court is a fallacy.


    Again, I'm not saying he isn't/wasn't a horrible person.



    Give me a break man. We did not illegally invade the country. They did not comply with inspections which is what set this off in the very beginning. He killed thousands upon thousands of innocent people. Whens the last time that Bush lobbed nerve gas at civilians in his own counrty? And where did you get your info about most of the world believing that Saddam is on the right side of the fence?
