Title: New Blackmachine B7 Day - Xmas time!
Post by: Frak on December 25, 2011, 03:58:02 AM
First of all, Merry Xmas everybody!

Since I don't have any words for this instrument, I'll let the video and photos speak for themselves. This thing is out of this world, that's the only thing that comes to my mind...

But I should at least tell you the Cold Sweat in the bridge and Painkiller in the neck are the absolute perfect fit for this guitar. As always, unbelievably clear and juicy stuff from Tim!

Enjoy!

Finally the two of them together! The B6 has a wonderful sounding ceramic Nailbomb in the bridge and Painkiller in the neck.

Hope you liked the photos!

PS: something else's coming too...with Bareknuckle Cold Sweat and VHII, my absolute favourite!

AWESOME axes, and really, really nice pictures, too! What camera/lens are you using? That's clearly a pretty wide aperture!

Very nice axes  8), apart from the 'raised heads' of the hex cap screws holding the name plate to the back.
Don't they tend to 'catch' in your clothes ?

I'm using a Canon EOS 550D, lens is a Canon EF 24mm 1.4L II, that's a very pricey lens I borrowed from a friend. Color correction done inside Aperture 3.

For the video I'm using the same camera with the stock 18-55 IS lens. I've used a custom color profile for this video called CineStyle by Technicolor CineStyle, Digital Printer Lights, Visual Post Production - Technicolor (http://www.technicolor.com/en/hi/cinema/filmmaking/digital-printer-lights/cinestyle)

This permits me to have the best possible source when I need to do some color correction/enhancing inside Final Cut Pro X (that's what I use at least).

Really nice photos - the wide aperture results in some nice shallow depth of field effects (shallow range of in-focus for those non-photographers)
Really nice setting – the wood of the floor contrasts nicely with the woods of the Blackmachines

Yay for using a Mac too! (I love Aperture 3 – couldn't live without it)

My god, that B7 is beautiful. I imagine playing it naked could be complicated though with it being pushed away from you all the time...if catch my drift.

The colours of all those woods...amazing.
It is so refined and raw at the same time.

The more I see of Blackmachines the more I want one...and by now I´d sell a kidney for one.

Someone asked if I could send some high resolution pics of the guitars, so I've decided to let everyone download them, here they are http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5864881/Blackmachine%20B7.zip

Feel free to use them as you wish :)
