:D Johnny glad to see you got them back !!! :D

Sorry about the pigeon ! Did it squark when you hit it ! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Your right London is a F***ing shitee hole madhouse !!! Hope the decorating go`s well.

Why did you go through LOndon to get to Feline ? I just went round the M25 it was easier.

:D 8)

Hi jt,

Yes the pigeon Squawked and might of squarked a bit too! It's a sound that will stay with me all my life

It's a madhous, or so they say. It's a madhouse, am I insane? (Anthrax) You must like that one jt! Yes it is unfortunatly and it just gets worse and worse. What can you do eh?! I wouldn't want to retire to the blue rinse south coast just yet!

I go throught the middle because the M25 on a weekend, near Dartford is a nightmare, Lakeside and Bluewater are too a big a magnet for shopaholics in their motors. I only hit a bit of traffic coming over blackfriars bridge on the way back cos of roadworks.
I used to be a despatch rider see, know all the back routes and it's fun, I mean you can't slay a pidgeon on the motorway! :lol: :lol:

I have a riff that I've been sitting on that would fit - If someone wants to write the lyrics, maybe we could record it for the BKP album :P

I had a good go on the new pups tonight for an hour through my Koch Powertone II

Epi LP.The Rebel Yells sound amazing, really defined with lovely mids, in a good crunch setting, on my amp (around 7 on the gain). They have a nice bass too. On the ultra gain channel they sound good for leads too. Clean the neck is superb! The work on the frets is great. It's got Gotoh tuners and 10's strings which are a 1st as I've always played 9's. Stiff bar-stewards aren't they! For a cheap guitar it really does sound and play well. :D

Cold Sweats sound mental! Clean they really surprised me, the neck is lovely. Same settings on the gain channel and you can feel the bass, i love that in a guitar tone. Ultra gain is great on leads too. With this much bass and as there in a LP copy, I for the first time I might add (as I've always played in concert pitch due to having a Floyd rose trem and not wanting to faff around with springs), dropped tuned it to C# and then dropped the 6th string down another tone like a drop D. Woah! :twisted:
What a nasty bar-steward! I think I'll have to learn some System riffs now! Switch to ultra low speaker damping, gain channel on 10 (not ultra gain as you can really hear the difference like this) neck pup it's gruesome and sick in a :twisted: good way! Bridge is evil! That's all I can say to describe them really, they have that BKP defined sound and clarity too. All in all a F*cking brilliant pickup as they all are. The work feline did on the neck is amazing. 6000 fret wire and a sanded neck. Great stuff!!

The Strat an 1979 25th anniversary with Irish Tours is now just a gorgeous guitar! The tone is just godly! The bridge on this thing with a metal amp setting just floored me! It just screams!! The cleans are really nice and it crunches well on lower gain settings in all pup positions. The frets are really nice after the work on them too.

PDT_003 Man am I happy i got them all done at last!

Couple more to go and......... :lol:

When I bought my 7 string (off ebay 8) ) the guy before had it strung with 12s and I couldn't get down the shops for a while after it was delivered...It now has 10s (and a .60 bass string as the 7th), but playing 12s for a week makes you appreciate how light 10s are - I used to play 9s before I got the 7 string, but now I find them horribly light

9's have there uses. You can cane your hand with heavy strings. Remember you have to make it last a life time! My strat and Charvel have 9's and they still sound great and are a hell of a lot easier to play.

Yeah, 9s have their uses - but they just feel so uncomfortable after using 10s for so long (and 12s for a week :lol: )

But then I don't do a lot of "that widdly stuff" as my dad would say, so the fact that they're not as light makes no difference to me...And that may also be why I can't stand Jumbo frets :P

Ahh you have to get used to it you see! 9's with my stainless steel jumbos and its all widdles like a widdly widdler! I love playing fast (ish) it horses for courses. Does you Dad play too?

deg0ey · « **Reply #43 on:** July 11, 2006, 10:57:06 PM »

Nah he just listens to music - he has a cr@p ear though, thinks the riffs to Nirvana's Rape Me is the same as the riff for Teen Spirit, which they're really not

But yeah, I think it's 'cause the only times I've played jumbo's are in shops when trying stuff out, like amps etc.

Johnny Mac · « **Reply #44 on:** July 11, 2006, 11:03:22 PM »

lol! :lol:

It's a good idea to get used to both types really. You can go ballistic with the vibrato on jumbos, and those double stop bends with harmonics screaming out of them is cool too! Smaller frets to me make you work a bit harder and when you go back to jumbos it seems a breeze. A bit like your point on strings. If you play on an unforgiving acoustic, now that can really be good for 'training'!
