    I just noticed that someone thought Leo was his first name:

    Tygers will be touring later this year: https://www.tygersofpantang.com/official/gigs.html

    That PCB is the crossover. You'd probably get better responses in the Amps sub-forum

    Some string manufacturers include that in the instructions, it's especially helpful with round-core strings, because hex-core seem to grip the windings better. E.B. even tells us to wrap through the machine-head capstan more than once, which almost no one actually does:

    I can't think of any quick tips but one, write in the nut-slots with a pencil, the graphite is a great lube, & will help keep the strings from sticking when you're tuning.

    Yeah, metal basses are not cheap: The EGC 500B is aluminum & $3,300 USD! https://www.electricalguitarcompany.com/models

    hmm, maybe, Ibanez boast about Teflon washers on the EHB, I just assumed it was the same on the GOTOH machine-heads: https://www.ibanez.com/eu/products/detail/ehb1005ms_1p_01.html "Teflon washers are used on each tuner for a smooth tuning action."

    Writing on those Teflon O-rings won't stick, it'll rub off with the brush of a finger. It's Teflon, the stame stuff that's on non-stick fry-pans. The quickest way to make 'mods' that don't affect playability or sound is to just forego them 😀

    Asking if it has a Maple neck, when you really mean fretboard.

    Squire by Fendré ESP LTD (no, you have a LTD, NOT an ESP!)

    re: influences Dave Mustaine has touted his influence from Sabbath so much that Ozzy sent him their latest box set. Dave posted about it on FB. I saw them with D.R.I. in a small venue, same venue where I saw Testament, Overkill, Metallica, & Vio-Lence.

    I lived in San-Pedro, moved to L.A. the same year as Lemmy, so bumped into him in various locations, like Riki Rachtman's clubs & of course the Rainbow. I spent about 4 nights/week in Hollyweird, but also hit Helter Skelter (not in HW at the time), every weekend that I could.

    I just thought about the fact that it's a 5-string, DiMarzio doesn't appear to make the Model J for a 5-string, which I find odd, but the Ultra-Jazz are DEEP: https://www.dimarzio.com/pickups/5-string-bass/ultra-jazz-5-pair They're also high-output, so you probably wouldn't even need to wire them in Series, but people have.

    They don't make something so Heavy I don't enjoy it, except perhaps the guttural vocals. There is one band with that style that I enjoy, Arch Enemy, but I won't post a video, because I have no idea what the lyrics are.
  16. Killed_by_Death
    It's a matter of opinion I suppose, but MH weren't included in NWOBHM because they were heavier than that. I asked Lemmy in 1991 if MH were Heavy Metal or Punk & he said the statement above, loudly, LOL!
  17. Killed_by_Death
    Lemmy would never say MH were Thrash, he hated labels & started their shows with "We are Motörhead, & we play Rock & Roll!"
  18. Killed_by_Death
    J.P. have a few one-offs that could be Thrash, but Motörhead were doing entre albums.
  19. Killed_by_Death
    Lars Ulrich would disagree & from there more Thrash was influenced by Metallica. Motörhead weren't the only influence to Thrash, that would be a daft statement, but they were the primary influence.
  20. Killed_by_Death
    Sounds like Punk to me, with no Heavy Metal. The answer is Queen on Stone Cold Crazy, Black Sabbath on Symptom of the Universe, & probably early Tygers of Pan Tang.
  21. Killed_by_Death
    Lemmy was really heartbroken with Philthy died, just a month before him.
  22. Killed_by_Death
    Who was doing a sound like this (Thrash) before 1979?
  23. Killed_by_Death
    How can anyone even argue against the fact that all those Trash bands took Motörhead as an influence? Motörhead were the godfathers of Thrash, Thrash before there was a name for it, by the merging of Punk & Heavy Metal.
  24. Killed_by_Death
    Save some money & try that Series wiring scheme first.
  25. Killed_by_Death
    Venom were SO obviously Black Metal. All the early Thrash bands would cite MH as an influence & Metallica most of all. Lars was the President of the MH fanclub in the U.S..
