Killed_by_Death

The man who destroyed the Cult & ZZ-Top, made them both into new versions of AC/DC. I'm sure he'll fit right in with RHCP. I bought Blood Sugar Sex Magik & you know what happened? I gave it away, gave it away, Gave it AWAY now! because I hated it, & RHCP were the worst performers at Lollapalooza II, even on their home turf in L.A.

Tell those folks to get their practice at home, so that they're prepared for rehearsal.

Well, to be fair, HZ still responds to people like this currently, & they have enraged me more than enough times on here. That is all, I've commented what others were thinking.

Agreed! Yes, enough with not respecting other people's opinions about any & everything. It's some huge irony that folks who are extremely rude like to point out how much experience they have! Are you a vampire?

My hearing isn't the greatest, I'm about as tone-deaf as a person can get who still enjoys Music, but lately I'm being reminded that my spatial awareness is just gone. If one of our smoke-alarms starts beeping, I can stand directly between them & still have no clue which one it is. Last weekend a cricket snuck in here & at dusk it started chirping & driving me mad. I couldn't determine where it was! I have a Dolby 5.1.2 Surround-Sound setup, but it's kind of lost on me, a left/right sound needs to be quite louder than the fronts or center to get my attention. Related directly to that is my perception of Stereo Music. It's very rare that I can hear that it's Stereo. Recently I've been listening to Music with headphones while I read & it's obviously more apparent then, but when driving my automobile, I can almost never hear a separation.

I'm glad you're allowing me to enjoy it 😄

The locking jack is a great feature carried over from the BTB series, I love it!

Get a UV flashlight for charging the dots, it works better than natural light or even neon or LED lights.

That's what I hate about Ibanez's 'luminescent' inlays, they're damn near invisible in the light of day, about the same shade as the neck itself.

The Big Splits are superior, almost as good as the Big Singles, but w/o noise.

The job of replacing them with real LuminLay isn't that difficult or time-consuming. The local luthier quoted me $120 USD to replace them, material included. I'm not sure why Ibanez refuse to use the real LuminLays that are made in Japan, maybe a dispute between them or a licensing issue with another manufacturer.

Steve should fire two of them & hire another bass player. 😀

Wrathchild remains their greatest song, to me. I can't believe they're carrying on with THREE guitar-players for this long, but The Traveling Wilburys already defined how many guitar-players is too many.

Just measure it, IIRC a 0.16" would fit through the clamp, but the trouble was at the bridge end, you need a taper end at the ball-end.

I've used Saap-Lai a lot, meaning extra spicy & tasty. A guy at work once asked me what is it called when it's tasty but not spicy (in Lao), & I told him I didn't think there was such a term.

This past weekend I got accustomed with a new 5.1.2 Dolby Atmos setup for my TV & luckily it hasn't aggravated my tinnitus. Unfortunately I only have one title in my whole collection that's both Dolby Vision & Dolby Atmos. So I watched Total Recall in the best way that I ever have: Here's a wee bit of irony for you, it seems the more speakers I have, the lower I have the volume. When you're immersed in sounds, it doesn't need to be loud. another tangent In Laos folks like to say DER a lot. It's kind of like saying Totally if you were in California. That's chicken is tasty, DER (the chicken is totally tasty) and Thai folks will joke if someone seem rural they might say that person is Lao-Der, which sounds like Louder to continue on that, a friend of mine used to sing "Let's Get Lao!" to J-Ho's song:

I used to enjoy Music loudly, then I achieved "can't fall asleep" level tinnitus. Last weekend I was futzing around with my soundbar & TV, so that I could keep the TV's built-in ATMOS surround-sound AND the soundbars 3D surround, & it sounded fantastic, but alas that night I couldn't sleep thanks to the ringing in my ears.

R.I.P. C.W. At least there's only one thread here, on other forums there are half a dozen already.

they really have their fingers in the pulse over there: I think Carly Simon wrote a song about it.

He was one of a few who actually appreciated my help. R.I.P. big guy!

I know at least one person in a developing country with this problem. One guy had it so bad that he opened a shop to sell gear, do setups, & mods. I've never had the issue, in a developing country or at home, but I just don't develop sentimental relationships with inanimate objects. They're tools to make Music. Would a mechanic lament over selling a tool?

I wasn't sure, because it's true, SMF are not all Heavy Metal, like Deep Purple or Rocka-Rolla, LOL!

You might already be aware, but balisongs are everywhere in the PI, & they know how to use them. I bought mine there, it's a beauty: I see the prices people are paying for them now & I'm a little gobsmacked.

a split-coil P-style pickup is also a humbucker 😀
