Post by: fps_dean on May 29, 2006, 06:33:22 AM: I'd go with two nickel covers. I had open coils on my LP originally and put in pickups with nickel covers and it looks so much better now!!! :)

Post by: snipesace on May 29, 2006, 04:31:46 PM: blue burst is a nice change, but thats an epi isn't it? I would rather stick with my gibson instead. well whatever I get, worst case scenario is I send em back and get them fixed up :P

I know I've posted it before, but hey, special circumstances... ;)

The Blue rev. zebra is my main guitar, but the tobacco 'burst with chrome covered Emerald's just looks the dog's danglies. Should have gone with nickel covered for them after all... :(

correction i think MY digital modeller is better than MY amps.... no generalisation there sonny jim....

zebras may be the coolest form of uncovered... but uncovered are just shite in general... so being the coolest of the group is no big achievement....

and saying slash is cooler than ill ever be is bollocks.. cause none of you have ever seen or heard e.t.c me...SO NERRR maybe i AM SLASH
Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: Jp. on May 30, 2006, 10:15:25 AM: I dont believe I've ever seen or heard of Slash using "SO NERRR" is his vanacular.

SO NERR

I think thats how it goes... Is my pronounciation correct sambo err... slash
Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: sambo on May 31, 2006, 12:23:43 PM: hmm... yes... you could perhaps emphasis the 'NERR' by leaving the 'SO' in lower case lettering... adds some nice variation i find.

but yes, very good young padowan... we'll have you in a band with a very annoying singer in no time...
Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: Jp. on May 31, 2006, 12:28:21 PM: Dont tease....

Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: sambo on May 31, 2006, 01:17:31 PM: ah yes... well actually getting into drummer mode is quite easy...

you see what you do is, locate your head, then hammer several nails in to it...
Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: CaffeineJunkie on May 31, 2006, 01:18:00 PM: you see, it's not that i can't, it's more that i like money too much to let myself

Title: should I stay classy?

Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: sambo on May 31, 2006, 01:21:53 PM: well in that case just put all your money in a box saying "Do Not Open" on it... (no need for any security just any old box will do)... then get into drummer mode... theres no way you'll go near the money then

EDIT: the box should say

"do not open or a plump pink thing will appear in your skull cavity"
Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: CaffeineJunkie on May 31, 2006, 01:22:44 PM: but then no more guitars, no more BKPs and no more mental health (or physical health) for me...and you know thas bad for the ruler of the universe
Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: sambo on May 31, 2006, 01:23:58 PM: true... although that wouldnt bother you...

alternatively as the ruler of the universe could you not make Tim bow down to your wishes and give you all the BKPs you want?
Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: CaffeineJunkie on May 31, 2006, 01:25:41 PM: i could, but then what would i do all day instead of sitting in front of my computer typing away making a variety of treats for the internet and other applications, i can only play guitar with two of my 83 hands
Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: sambo on May 31, 2006, 01:28:14 PM: ah of course, didnt think of that...

well you could have a shred-off with Michael Angelo, and become better than him by playing a total of 41 guitars simultaneously... of course i dunno what you would do with the spare hand...

you could perhaps develop the skill of uber-fast one-hand typing?
Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: CaffeineJunkie on May 31, 2006, 01:29:02 PM: already done that - the typing that is... except ... i get paid by the hour, why would i want to type fast????
Title: should I stay classy?
Post by: sambo on May 31, 2006, 01:30:21 PM: hmm good point...

in that case... develop the skill of making it look like your typing very fast when really your typing very slow...
