    So you get $200 spending money for this contest, and total value of winning is $900 Canadian. Subtract the $200 and you are left with $700 for the two peoples expenses, Flights, Hotel for two nights (and possible face value of tickets?). $700 between two people is $350 each, which means there is no way in hell you are flying to LA and getting a hotel for $350 a person from Toronto. Makes it sound like NYC is the closest 'big city' that I would expect it to be in. FINGERS CROSSED

    Yea I would think the same... but kind of odd how this is going on so far. All we know is a Toronto Radio station is doing a contest to attend this gig, but it includes air fair which means the gig obviously isn't in Toronto, but it is some other big city. You'd think they would do a contest for the local Toronto show if there was going to be one. No word of any other stations doing a contest for any small club shows either.

    So James... NA small club Muse show in a 'Big City' probably may 9th. I'm hoping it is NYC...

    Dead Inside totally caught me off guard, after Psycho, but once I got passed what I expected, fantastic 80s vibe jam.

    Can only play songs that are all Major chords, or all minor... Sneaky though, for someone who doesn't play guitar, they think wow this is a great cheat system. Then they buy it and realize fuck, all these songs I love, I Can't learn cause they don't use all one chord type. Edit: Guess you could jump up and down the neck using 5th string roots for minor, and 6th string roots for majors, but damn thats a pain... overall dumb invention

    This is a crucial factor for some. There is no global On/Off signal for the 5/DT. Each program has a different code to be sent for on and off, making it harder to interface with a touch pad. If you aren't doing MIDI in that sense, it wont be an issue for you.

    I purchased from JAParts, they don't carry anything, but instead they deal directly with Gotoh. So you can order anything from their catalogue, any style, with any button, in any color with any features (locking, HAP, etc).

    I wouldn't be surprised if the actual head sitting on top of the stack is a prop, along with the cabs partially. Generally Muse has always had fake amps on stage, sometimes they have been turned on/off as a monitor or for feedback, but not as the main source of his sound.

    I noticed that too... some questionable little black box where a XY pad would usually go... It appears to stick up above face of guitar... Did anyone ever figure out what the box on the back of the headstock of the glitter 7 string was?

    It is fucking glorious

    They've sold out until June/July I believe is what it said on the Manson website.

    UK Psycho Tour, tickets already went on sale. Album June 8th, first single 'Dead Inside' March 23rd.

    We now know this!

    I had an Epiphone one at some point.. I hated the thing and got rid of it. I ordered this one on impulse due to the price, figured if I still didn't like it I could flip it and make a few bucks on it. Turned out just loving the thing, can't put it down now. And James, yea I want those kind of tuners. I have a set of Grover vintage tulip tuners on my les paul, they work great. I could drop in another pair of those, or possibly the Gotoh ones, since so far I've had great tuners from them.
  16. sidious911
    Nope was an actual run of 50s SG tributes that Gibson did. They stamp the back with prototype to be able to explain why there is a 50s tribute to something that didn't exist in the 50s ha. It was released alongside the 50s tribute LPs which also had P90s. Need to find myself some Ivory tulip tuners for it, hate grover kidney beans.
  17. sidious911
    Its a 50s Tribute, funny enough, SGs didn't even come out until 62 iirc. It has a 'prototype' stamp on the back of the headstock since it wasn't a real thing yet. Beautiful 50s neck, and the P90s are great. I couldn't say no to that price! It's a 2013 too, I cannot stand anything in the 2014/2015 lines.

    Picked up this guy earlier this week. Got it for $399, couldn't resist, and plays like a dream.

    I just watched this yesterday, pretty solid. The thing I love about Royal Blood doing a cover, is that they completely make the song their own, because they have no other option with just the two of them. It is cool when other bands cover a song, but doesn't do much for me when they just sound like a general bar band cover. Takes it to a whole new level when someone takes a piece of music, and makes it their own.

    I'd expect them to be stable, at least reasonably. It takes a pretty terrible tuner to be that unstable. Often some tuning stability issues also comes from a poor quality bridge/nut. The HAP tuners will resolve your need for string trees. Strats/Teles all have string trees for a reason, because without then, there isn't enough of a break angle over the nut. Gibson gets away with it because they have the tilted headstock. When I was building my MB-1 Replica, I didn't even know the HAPs existed, so I bought just a standard pair of Gotoh tuners. High E sounded terrible, ordered the HAPs and it resolved everything.
  21. sidious911
    Looks like they use stock tuners, and you might end up needing to replace them with HAP ones or get string trees. When I did my build, I tried with standard tuners and my high E was an unbearable sitar sound. B string sometimes too but not as much.
  22. sidious911
    Yea, for $100 I felt they would be good entry level. I don't use speakers a ton anyways, I generally use headphones, especially since I upgraded to the HD 598s and the D1. Just need some new speakers to plug into the D1 so I have the option when needed.
  23. sidious911
    James, those some maudio AV30s you got sitting there? What do you think of them? I was planning on picking a pair up just for the price point.
  24. sidious911
    MBK 2 is a hot rockin pickup, I have them in the bridge of two guitars, they really rip, and clean up quite nice. I also have a Mississippi Queen P90 in the neck of my one Les Paul, thing is fat and creamy. Never used one in the bridge though.
  25. sidious911
    You'd be surprised about that. I expect a lot of these guitars will end up in the hands of fan boys who don't really play guitar or know anything of tone.
