Got an audition tonight
« on: April 06, 2009, 02:42:20 PM »

As I have some spare time and I am really interested to do some heavy stuff, I answered to an ad in the local paper. It's a band that does some in between Rammstein, Opeth and SOAD or sth. They sent me 2 mp3s and asked to prepare for tonight. It's not the lead guitar job, but I am keen on getting a bit into heavy riffing and improve my rhythm tightness, and hispeed shredding is anyway not my thing.

So keep fingers crossed for me please at around 20.30 (19.30 UK time).

McCarty and The Axe-Rig (Axe-FX and 2502). I asked and they have cabs in place, so I'm not gonna bring my Bogner 4x12, I considered it, but thought it's too much for 2 songs, really.

Good luck!  Not sure how the McCarty pickups will take really high gain though??

also surprised by your choice of the mcarthy (just because of the non-metal look), though when i tried twinfan's prs, the workmanlike feel of the neck was very nice for chugging stuff out (rosewood \o/)

Well, I was thinking about the SG (also the predecessor played an SG). But I just like the Mc so much now, plus it does actually quite well on chugga, these pickups are not as mellow as some say, mine have quite some fizz too and though being rather low output, they make a nice crunch. If they don't like it ... so be it.

the rosewood neck really inspired me. i'd like one on a V, with a natural swamp ash body, ebony board and explorer headstock, maybe even with 25" scale length

most important thing is to be comfortable - PRS rosewood very comfy - go for it tonight br00tal hunta!  :evil: :twisted: :evil:

Yeah, my MusicMan Axis has got a natural neck too, it is comfy as well. But there's something wrong, because the FR goes out of tune. Maybe sth wrong with the blades or ancer screws. Gotta have it fixed by someone who knows this stuff.

I got here a bit late but I hope it is going well and that you are knocking them bandy ( that is a good thing).
