thing is, it'll be easier to sound the notes on 9s, but they have less volume and sustain than 10s anyway.....difference wont be that huge either way

i tap on 10s, think it works fine. if your having problems the answer is probably just more practise, unless you were already thinking about changing your strings

shit, nice deal man. 800s are the shit. fuck the dsl, sell it for drug money, the 800 is a real mans amp.

dude, dokken suck balls. they look like the cheap hookers you can pick up in leith.

lynch is a really good guitarist though. But he looked like a woman when he was in dokken. a cheap hooker, to be specific

Yeah, that wouldn't work at all..

The E-Bow relies on the interaction between the metal strings and the pickups on the guitar.

why do they work on acoustics then?

all the ebow does is vibrate the string i think.

i've seen people use them on acoustic guitars and mandolins etc. cant see why it wouldn't work on a piano.

Only good if your playing soul or blues

its only got one pickup and its a high output bridge humbucker, so it'd be useless for playing soul and most blues where you'd want a fat, cleaner sound. in fact not having a neck pickup means you're not going to be able to get the fat fusion lead tone that made 355's and those sort of guitars cool in the firist place.

my rig and settings are really simple.

PRS santana se (original model)

into a 100 watt JCM 900 (with 5881s)

Treble 6

Mid 6.5

Bass 7

Pres 6

Gain 18 (its out of 20 for some fucking stupid reason)

volume as high as it can go without hurting my ears or pissing owen off

clean gain 6

clean volume to taste

sounds good to me

power breaks are bad for you tubes, or so i heard.

to ge back to the topic, Dimebag uses solid state amps (randalls in fact) so you dont need to be looking at valves necessarily. 150 watts will be REALLY fucking loud, 100 or 50 watts will do you just fine. (although dime's amp is 300 watts or something- solid state though so that doesn't count really)

Hughes and kettner do that 'warp 7' beast, which is solid state and desigined for detuned metal. Dunno if it'd be much cop though. Carlsbro have a big solid state amp as well but they're stuff is usually rank. Saying that you get a 2x12, a 1x15 and a head for less than what you would normally pay for half stack.

The marshall avt 150 might be the way to go, but the avt series clip at high volumes (in my experience) and start to sound buzzy.

Best thing to do as always is to got check a bunch out in a shop. remember to turn them up loud.

You could also check out gear reviews at harmony central

where did you get that from?

also, did B.C. rich license the design or somehting? i find that pretty doubtful.. fuck knows......
