Title: Improved technique
Post by: fatbob on December 04, 2005, 10:01:22 PM

I've just been listening to some (bad) recordings of myself, and I'm, pretty sure my playing has improved since installing Black Dogs las week! .....
Anyone else guilty of this?

I would agree with that,the better the tone the more confident and inspired you are to play your best.

Dunno about more confident, but tone is making my left hand muting more active, pickups are too good for me. lol.

"too much practice, not enough drinking makes me a dull boy (but better player)"

Totally agree with steve, a better tone (simply cos you can HEAR what you're playing) does lead to better playing.

Plus, you have to justify spending more money on your gear to your partner... ;)

I agree with you both fellas! BKP's probably the best 'guitar investment' I've made. Value can only be quantified on a personal basis, and im well chuffed with my playing at the moment, which i ain't been in 12 years. So thats £170 well spent!

Hehe - I'm really looking forward to getting mine in a few days!!! I'd really like to hear an improvement in my playing for a change!  :roll:
I also agree with everyone here, sometimes when i go to friends houses and they demand to hear me play (their) guitar, i can't play it at all, even if it feels alright, just because it sounds cr@p thru their 10watt solid-state marshall.
I also think you feel more inspired to play if you know that its gonna sound nice! when i first started playing obviously i was rubbish, and i really didnt enjoy it nearly as much as i do now - i only picked up a guitar like once a month!

Hey, Indismth. you will not be dissapointed. I put my 'Dogs into a £300 mahogany Ibanez, which sounds better than my 1995 Gibbo LP, handmade EMG loaded BC Rich (unique Bernie (rip) built). Eggle, Parker Fly,PRS..... They are something special. Wish I had the funds to BKP all my guitars.
