  1. Sad to hear, sorry for your loss.
  2. Who's that? My band deadhorse recently gt back together and might use the help... And I love Kev's band.
  3. Yea, I told the guy no, ended up selling it on the Gear Page. Thanks for all the advice.
  4. I like the SG a lot. Best SG I've ever owned, the only SG that I've played that felt better in my hands was a 61 re-issue, I really like the slim neck on those. But I really need a new amp, or a used new amp. I've got a one in one out gear policy with my wife.
  5. Thanks guys, I thought as much, I do like oddball shaped guitars though, but the lack of a hardshell case is an absolute deal breaker for me. Gig bags suck.
  6. As you may know I'm trying to sell my 2005 SG standard, well I got a trade offer for a 2011 Gibson RD re-issue, it's black, but here's the possible deal breaker for me, it comes with a gig bag. I still need an amp, and even if I like this RD and keep it, my band plays a lot of out of town gigs and where the hell would I find an affordable RD case? Anyway here's the craigslist ad and it states that it comes with a hard case....http://austin.craigslist.org/msg/2702229766.html I kind of dig the shape...
  7. I also have Manlius and they are awesome, but I couldn't resist to the temptation of trying the Tyrant. Pickups are the only thing I don't have gas for!
  8. I'll just stick to my Manlius Customs. I had the EMG's, Rio Grandes, Gibsons, Duncans, Dimarzio's,WCR's, Bare Knuckles, MPC's, Adder Plus' WB's, and my Manlius is better than them all. But, Kev, that's great that you found a new pickup, it's always cool when they sound good.
  9. Well stock, with a lot of amp gain, the Invader sounds like a low-end-mid, butt plug.
  10. I'd really like to know the sonic difference if any between the Tyrant and the Invader ( which I think is a horrible pickup)
  11. Well that's pretty sweet then.
  12. Sounds great Bill. Is playing your actual day job?
  13. It's nice to see a guy like Vai giving a kid a shot. Like Zappa gave him.
  14. Welcome TattCarrot, nice guitar. Put one of those first WCR Iron Man pickups in the bridge and you like it more!
  15. Nope.
  16. 1916 was the tour we opened for them. The Austin Sneakers sound system was not loud enough for Lemmy. So Sneakers had to go to the San Antonio Sneakers to get reinforcements. So there was a lot of downtime from the time their backline was setup. Then ours was setup. MH's road crew plugged our amps in, and took our drums and amps off the stage when we were done. Everyone on the crew was super to us, a bunch of young early 20 year olds. The club was locked to everyone except us and Motorhead, Mickey was at a live modeling place a few doors down, Phil/Wizzo, Wurzel and Lemmy all hung out in the club. My Brother (singer for Force Fed) played pool with Lemmy and Lemmy seemed to like him cause he shared his bottle of Jim Beam with him, straight from the bottle, no glasses. Phil was wearing a baseball cap that had a long hair ponytail attached to it...Strange. All 3 were very hard to understand when I talked to them. Was the LOUDEST show I've ever been to. And because of that show my band gained a lot of new fans, people kept coming up and asking how it was touring with Motorhead, I kept saying We're from Austin, we've been around for 3 years!
  17. My band Force Fed opened for Motorhead at Sneakers in Austin back in 93 or 94, we were the direct support (also the only band playing the show with them). I had a mutual friend, Paul Raven from Killing Joke and Prong, I told him we were opening for Motorhead, and told me to talk to Wurzel, to tell him Raven said "Hi". So at soundcheck I did talk to him, told him Raven said hi, and he lit up, I asked him how he knew Raven, he said "we served in the army together!". Anyhow, I thought he was cool and it's sad that they're both dead now especially since they were relatively young. Here's the link to his story. http://www.guitarworld.com/former-motorhea...burston-dead-61
  18. Looks like the re-finished lefty that was on here a while back with that chrome thing on the upper wing removed.
  19. For the life of me I can't figure out why Manlius isn't that popular. Guess people like spending more for their pickups. Fine with me, I can still get them on the cheap and know that any model or custom model I buy will be kick ass or I send it back and he makes it kick ass.
  20. I'm telling you Austin, call Mick, tell him what you're looking for, I'm positive he can get you something you'll love.
  21. +1000 on Manlius. Call him, tell him what you want, his price is $85.00 for his stock pickups, but will make you whatever you want. for around $95-100.00 Micks stuff is on par with Bare Knuckles and WCR, I'ver had both and sold all my Bare Knuckles, WCR, and Motor City Pickups and all my guitars have Manlius stock and custom models. (except my Stratt, which has EMG David Gilmour set)....
  22. Umm.....I'm pretty sure I'd lock up the whole forum due to bandwidth shortage... But seriously...yeah...I've had/have a few amps.. A few thousand!
  23. Still waiting on Kurtstuff's list!
