Re: Moving to a chunkier neck

yeah it happens to me but I've got stubby little fingers, and I'm sure part of it is down to fretboard radius too... I've got really small + skinny hands/fingers so that might be a factor. Seems like most players have big meaty sausage fingers next to mine. Maybe I just need to pump some string to ...

Moving to a chunkier neck

Ok, so I'm really enjoying my new tremonti se but I've been finding that the chunkier neck (when compared to my ibanez) is taking some getting used to. I find that after playing for a short period of time I start getting a cramp across the palm of my fretting hand (along the mound of my thumb)- this...

Re: Anyone know about this pedal?

It was a toss up between the HT-dual and the Jekyll and Hyde when I bought my J&H. I really liked the sound of the dual and it was a close thing but it came down to price and to the fact that the J&H seems to be better if you want to use both channels at the same time (both side of the dual ...

Re: show us your home made pedals

NPD!!! Just got back from Wellington last night and they were waiting for me. Unfortunately my wife and kids are all sick and I'd been away for 3 days so I've been so busy running around after them I hadn't had a chance to try the pedals out until a couple of hours ago. Stoked as!!! They sound wicke...

Says that it's isolated there. I'm looking at getting one once the heat from my latest GAS purchases has died down! Just need to check to see if it can be mounted on a Pedaltrain.

Re: Strange 80s/90s model gibson

It just occurred to me that me saying "I like my Iceman but would never play one of those pointy BC Rich things" is a bit like the customer I used to have at my old varsity dayz job at Mark One Comics. He used to come in to pick up these extremely dodgy magazines that he special ordered fr...
