bridge Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 Yeah might be worth going to the one near you then. Last time I saw them I lifted Ben into the crowd, and also managed to get a drum stick he dropped. Definitely worth being up front, although I can't say I was expecting it! But yeah, always be prepared in case MB throws another guitar into the crowd I'd probably do some things I'm not proud of in trying to get that guitar I was up front at a small 100ish person Dead Sara show a few months back. Emily was real interactive with the crowd, so that made it a cool show. Was up front at a Buckethead gig too. Got some of his toys and touched his killswitch, so that was cool too.

Witz Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 So you haven't broken the headstock off with your whammy yet? Why would you say something like that? Talk about tempting fate No I haven't the neck is pretty substantial on this particular les paul so I'm not too worried really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nerd herd Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 You have a good memory I think it's over a year since I posted on k&t! Yes I did, I'll have to fish out a picture at some point I remember you posted a photo of a cardboard cutout of the FRX on the guitar ages ago and it looked pretty cool, so the finished thing must look amazing. Going to concerts alone sucks Only been to a concert myself once, wasn't too bad (getting high fived by Matt, Dom & Chris was an improvement) but it's a bit more fun going with other people. Going to see Radiohead myself in a few months since all my friends think they're too depressing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidious911 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 If you are having trouble with the registration, remove all the junk after the .com in the link as that solved the issues for me. Before that it kept just booting me back to the login page every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emily was real interactive with the crowd, so that made it a cool show. Was up front at a Buckethead gig too. Got some of his toys and touched his killswitch, so that was cool too. I think you just won the K&T I think the smallest noteworthy gig I've been to is when royal blood first toured here. 250 people and I was right against the stage. Of course, I did show up at 4pm... which isn't a big deal, until you realize the next person arrives at 7. It was sort of worth it. Got to hear them soundcheck better strangers (this was long before anyone heard it) and they walked past me twice. You know, because I was the only one there. I say noteworthy because the smaller gigs I've been to haven't really had a proper crowd. These were just really for my friend's bands, and people weren't there specifically to see them. Or the crossdressing act that opened for them. I get that they want to put on an act with the whole cross dressing and bondage gear, but it really doesn't work if you can't play. Why would you say something like that? Talk about tempting fate No I haven't the neck is pretty substantial on this particular les paul so I'm not too worried really Because only a gibson is good enough. But yeah, I recall the studios usually have a thicker 50s style neck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hmm... some interesting features, but based on the demos, I like the original version better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN-xrbkAFxQ Also, for some reason I now have "what's my age again?" stuck in my head because of the first few seconds of that video.

james90 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Not sure if I'm gonna go to the Wantagh show. I'm just... too exhausted to plan things It's several months from now. I'll probably be getting the VIP deal, as I have no clue what time I'll end up with that pre sale code (if I do at all.) I'm hoping they'll have MB's old guitar and kemper setup on display for me to butcher the psycho riff on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james90 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I don't think I've ever paid for a meet and greet. Not counting the one for Weezer that I couldn't go to... and even then, that was just as additional $80 on top of the standard ticket.

Stocking Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 NGD, sorta. Got this in a trade for my Orange Micro Terror that just doesn't see any play anymore its used and has scuffs but I still love it despite its pretty extreme shape. Gonna probably slap some 12s on it and play Sleep/Kyuss stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james90 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Nice. What is it? And if it's gibson scale, I'd probably put 13's on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stocking Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Nice. What is it? And if it's gibson scale, I'd probably put 13's on. It IS gibson scale, 24.75 scale. 13s? Seems SUPER thick for that but I think I'll try it. the guitar is an LTD EX50, so I traded up and while it's not a super high end thing it feels great right now, cant wait to get strings on it.

I recall Troy from QOTSA said their guitars have either 12s or 13s, and there was something about a wound 3rd string as well, so I'm guessing they prefer that. I will say that I use roto greys (13 gauge with a wound 3rd string) on one guitar for C tuning, and I replace the 3rd string with a plain 22 for easier bending. I recall it's a wound 24 (or 26?) as standard in that set. 12's on a 24.75 scale are definitely a bit loose feeling to me. Maybe try the EB not even slinky set - I've had good results with those.

I just need to keep checking my phone, and also need to be right next to a computer the entire day... I have an office job, so the computer part isn't the problem. I can't imagine getting the code should be the problem either. I've been registered on muse.mu since the last absolution period, so I doubt there's a ton more legacy members looking specifically for the date I'm interested in.
