Hey,
Just wanted to introduce myself here.
I am 17 years old and live in Horsens, Denmark. I am a aspiring guitar player and I also have a big interest in the 2nd World War and of course Music.
My influences are mainly Yngwie Malmsteen, Eddie Van Halen, Ken Hammer and Kirk Hammett (dont slap me :lol: ), but I also have many other bands that I like, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Quiet Riot, Whitesnake, Skid Row, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and some other stuff. I practice everyday to reach my goal which is to play Trilogy Suite and Rising Force on guitar flawless, a goal which will take practice and dedication but should be alot of fun too.
I am currently learning with the Doug Marks Metal Method Course, and have made a project of (once done) to learn Smoke On The Water, Here I Go Again On My Own and Quiet Riots version of Cum On Feel The Noize. I will record them, and upload them here, so you can evaluate my playing if you would be so kind.
I have spent alot of money on gear, and currently own 2 guitars.
The first is a 1989 Charvel 375 Deluxe. I found it in a guitar store, where no one had bought it for a year. Tried it, and bought it. The frets barely have any wear, and havent even been changed yet. The pickups have been changed to DiMarzios, a Evo2 in the bridge and a HS-3 in the neck, with the middle position empty. It also has a Schaller floyd. My strap is a DiMarzio Camo cliplock.
The second is a 2004 Fender Stratocaster Classic 50s series, MIM, in Surf Green. Vintage 6screw trem and stock cr@p pickups. It sounds great, and is made of Alder with a one piece maple neck.
My amp is a ENGL Screamer with a Z-5 foot controller, its a awesome amp. Kinda combines Mesa/Boogie smooth and tight bottom with a Marshalls dirty midrange. But its really a beast with its own character.
I also have loads of FXs and stompers and a Marshall JCM800 4x12" cab model 1982.
And a little pic to round off with.

Anyways, thanks alot for checking out this thread,
I really hope to have a good time here, and learn alot about BKP's pickups.
All best from yours truly,
-Alex.

Thanks mate.
I think I have seen you on Duncans forum before. You have a kamikaze ESP right? If yes, thats a SWEET guitar.
-
Yes, guilty on both counts. Don't inhabit the SDF any longer. Yeah, it's a Kamikaze 4. Thanx!
-
No prob :)
How come you arent there anymore? Sure there are a few nuts but I dont mind them :)
-
welcome!
i too have a Screamer- nice one!
and loving the look of that charvel as well.
looking forward to the clips you mentioned also.
cheers,
sam.
p.s. how useful is the Z-5 to you? worth the extra cost?
-
Thanks bro :)
The Z-5 is very cool.
I can control all 4 channels, and I can turn reverb on and off and I have a built in master volume, so I can boost it about 10-15DB (you can adjust it, but thats about the stock setting) and it has a 10 metre cable, so you can have the amp all out back, and still control it.
I think its worth it.
-
ahhh yer i did start to wonder about the in-built master volume feature- very interesting.
hmmmmm its tempting...
and 10 metres.. sheesh.
think im gonna have to start looking into getting myself one!
anyway- enjoy the forum, theres some great guys on here- always willing to help/chat.
and now im off to bed,
cheers,
sam.
