  1. Yes sir! I used 11s for awhile in the 90s ("SRV dick measuring" haha). Eventually went to 10s, then I hurt my left hand in a bike crash in 2010 and switched to 9s on 25.5" guitars and 10s on 24.75". I had an epiphany when I got my 1980 Ibby semi hollow; it sounded great we 9s clean, even with no compression thru a SS amp, it just has the jazz tone I've been looking for. The right guitar will sound good no matter what you string it with. YMMV
  2. The White Album? There was nothing on that fookin cover...
  3. The pickup shape is problematic if you decide to replace them, kinda like those weird G&L Pbass looking pups.
  4. I remember going to Arnold & Morgan Music in Garland TX in the late 70s, they had this poster and one of the employees had scrawled across it BARBARA STRIESAND PLAYS IBANEZ!!!
  5. RIP John
  6. I wish he'd go back to the Tokyo Tapes era white Strat with the rebar sized trem arm, it sounded better. Check out 9 min in, and 24 min, killer...
  7. I never got a good tone out of that thing!
  8. I've told this before, here it comes again; Growing up a huge Sabs fan, I played 2 SGs thru high school & Jr college. 1st was a strange 1972 model w/ bigsby, LP type raised pickguard, and semi circle top mounted controls. 2nd was a 70s white SG that I spraypainted, added a Kahler & DiMarzios. Played that one until the head stock snapped off (didn't realize that it could be fixed, junked it). About 20 years ago I briefly had an Epi Tony Iommi SG that I couldn't bond with (you can't go home again). SGs and LPs are so damn iconic and cool, but I'm not a fan of their feel.
  9. Controversial artist. He Wrote some classics, but had some cringe racist tunes, and did that bizarre album with Pantera.
  10. Jason toured w/ Nirvana on guitar, and w/ Soundgarden on bass (he didn't record w/ either, even though his picture is on Nirvana's Bleach). He played guitar on Mind Funk's 2nd album Dropped, which is a great grungy 90s album. Shortly after That album & tour he started his military career. I think he eventually went to school and got a masters in philosophy. Interesting dude, there a short doc somewhere on YT
