Disturber

I got a mail from Mitch way over a month ago that he had sent me a package. I even forgot about it, as nothing showed up. Then he sent me an inquiry about the package and I was a bit worried, as nothing had arrived. Turns out he found my old address somewhere and sent it there, so of it went - back to the sender. He was gracious enough to post it a second time, and it turned up today. Ain't HFC the best place! I've been really low since February due to family reasons. Anything that can shear me up is something I value dearly. This package that arrived today put a smile on my face. Such a nice thing to do. It's already been mounted on the MIII, now officially named "The Disturber". Cool, ain't it! I even feel better for playing like absolute shit yesterday when we tried to record some new material. I might be a hack, but I'm now a hack with style! Can't touch that.

I watched it without turning the sound on. Looks like she was knitting or something. Bet there was a lot of medely medely mees in there. As Coolfeel said, she looked boored.

Ha, ha. I thought this was dead funny. "Limits". Well not if you are in the zone where is sounds sweet and great. Who thinks Dimebag had good tone? It's a damn chainsaw. Use all the pedals you want for that. Cheez, want more gain than a JCM800 can deliver and you'r in Korn country, or pantera for that matter. Who wants to go there? It's just as bad as wearing shorts on stage. Oh, wait he did. Lolz. Just kidding.... Modern metal music sucks! edit: what I mean is that a great sounding amp that has the power tubes distorting usually sounds way sweet. More gain and it, to my ears, becomes kinda over the top, and most of the time has to rely on pre amp gain (which I usually don't like) or a pedal of some kind. But you can use a tube screamer to goose the preamp section in to distorting the power tubes. That can be really sweet. Or a treble booster type of pedal. For singlecoil guitars a tube screamer, or vintage RAT, can be great to boost things up. Just not to much of the hot sauce. A strat has the tendency to sound a little thin through a Marshall anyways, so a pedal often makes sense. But what the hell do I know. Use all the pedals you want. Personally I use my old Fulldrive when I play my Newport or T62. And the great Fulltone Catalyst pedal for gnarly fuzz tones. Mighty close to cork sniffery, there, Disturber. That, and a "Get off my lawn" kind of elderly perspective But you underscore a valid point- that it's all in the ear of the beholder, i.e. very subjective. Yeah, I was just takin' the piss. As I wrote, what do I know...? The Swedish band ENTOMBED used the dreadfull BOSS HM2 for their classic guitarsound on their first albums, perhaps still does. Bands in this genre pay big bucks for this (stinkin') pedal. Although I think they are a cool band, when it comes to guitar tone.... ...it kinda sucks. It fits the music though: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsdWLtPAVqM And the Swedish band Meshuggah used Line 6 modules for their sound 10 years ago. I think they use them FX modellers now. For that kinda sound, who needs tubes. Its just buzzing anyways, lolz.

Nice!

I think they should let these clowns perform instead. No one will know the difference anyway.

I'll do even better, I'll post something that is funky. It's Friday after all. Chilipeppers in 1990, with Frusciante; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79I3tYxBuOg&list=WLBUu6pXVbHdDfGjvjo44t9Q07z-pRMKEO

Was she dressed or un-dressed?

Love that Daytona Bubs. I really like my T-62, but I can't help thinking - everytime I see a nice Daytona - that it will have more bottom and oomph to it. Maybe I need to trade for one some of these days.... Congrats! Edit: thanks for mentioning this one: http://www.voodoolab.com/sparkledrive_mod.htm That is some good tone. What I am looking for when playing the T-62. That is the big problem with strats with me. It seems to get a good tone out of them you always need some kind of dirt pedal.

Why not the Rim Dim Ramalama Sing?? Heard it's supposed to be great!

Wow. Foggedabout giving him first dibs on buying them back, I want that P90 Sunburst. Congrats. You scored two MILF's in one shot.

I thought he only played cheap crap Chinese guitars these days. But when Satan grows old, as we say here in Sweden....

A new cool stage outfit. I mean ABBA style platform boots, a cape, the whole enchilada.

Pics and full tone report will come in 2014. Consider this a cliff hanger until the next season of... ...Hamer owners gone awry.

Nothing much....

Nice. I've heard all these have bigger necks than Lou Ferringos upper arms. So unfortunately I think they are not for me... Good luck to who ever buys it.

U using Explorer 11? Note my post earlier this week (or so). E11 won't do quotes or paste links (or paste anything) into posts. It sucks. I have to start Chrome just to write this.

Tom Pettersson on a HAMER 12 string bass again!!!!! Is he okay with that now, that the company is in limbo?? Way coool. Thanks for sharing brother. Good things always comes back to you, like a psychic Batarang! !!

There seems to be a lot of that going on now. A product of the computer age? Yes, definately. You sit there infront of the monitor and move stuff around. It's too easy. Usually not for the better. Ahh, that snare hit is 0.00002% off, let move it. Lets quantisise the whole track. I listened again and it sounds like its done with Guitar Hero in mind. I like it more organic most of the time.

Hey, when times are scarse you can soak it in water and eat it. It's nutritious. So don't slam it.

No, its is actually "Dragins", they just spelled it wrong to mess with our minds. It sounds like Cheap Trick jamming with Ozzy Osbournes backing band. I'm not a big fan of when the whole mix is compressed to death like this - it gives me ear fatigue - the loudness wars thing - but it gets a popier feeling when Robin's signing. And the vocals are mixed very loud on top of everything, not drowned down in the mix. So sounds pretty okay to me. Doubt that I will buy the album though, not my thing.

I'd give Deep Purple anything just to get them to give up and call it a day.

Those are killer guitars. Congrats. I was not super happy with the 59's in mine. Good pickups, but not great. A pair of Antiquities in that one would be killer I'd think.

Is it a Switchcraft jack. Hamer used them in the 90's in to the 00's. I don't know when the changed brands. But the switchcraft is part number 151. It went bad on my Korina Standard and I mailed Kim Keller, Hamers customer rep. He said: "The jack is considered a 'wear' item and is not covered under the warranty." I just bought a new jack for like 20 bucks and swapped it for the one with bad connection. Edit: This is the Switchcraft jack Hamer used: http://www.switchcraft.com/productsummary.aspx?Parent=884
