  1. There has to be a pre-Meshuggah and post-Meshuggah era.
  2. Happy birthday! Damn your strong currency! Black DuoTone?! Redwood?! Beer?!
  3. You are partially right, but the real answer is a result of the dedication to excellence of this company and, interestingly enough, a bit of a history lesson. I got this information from an inside source high up in the design salon. One day when Glen Danzig was doing his final checkout of one of the guitars coming off the line, he was strumming it acoustically, as he always does - it's part of his 14-step program to decide which pickups to put in which guitar (a policy he's had there since 1947 when he founded the company). He noticed a couple of interesting aural tidbits. First there was a subtle but apparent wolf tone; second, a bit of muddy crosstalk at a frequency range equally above and below's the guitar's tonality pattern.* To make a long story short, by delicately removing two sections of each crown inlay, the guitar blossomed into a boutique wunderkind. This signaled the beginning of the end for the crowns... Now that you understand the real reasoning behind this decision, the death of Boomerangs should be easily deduced. * ©2007, FMIC.
  4. I won't argue the roundness of the dots. However, the crowns, their taper pointing toward the body, serve to finely focus the tonality pattern®. This effectively channels more mojo into the pickups.
  5. It's much more fun to assign blame. Who needs facts? I blame Fender. I bet all those crown inlay offerings I have so far all just shot up in price.
  6. I was sort of hoping a victory inlay SC would pop up on my WTB thread. Maybe I should switch to crowns. Pre-Fender, indeed.
  7. I was thinking about this thread today and got a chuckle. Upon rereading I found it even more humorous than I remembered.
  8. Heard this on the radio while stuck in traffic today. They sound pretty good live, too... Great White - Rock Me - Ritz '88 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwplXLNbeX0 Kizanski-approved footwear, too. ------- EDIT - I just ran through a quick 80s scan - I miss the big hair virtuosos. What's not to love? Crue & Strippers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJrSyFpK3iQ The reason I bought a Les Paul http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2vc3mP9XKY A fine concert with a willing young new high school friend http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB8HudfbaTE My current teacher was this guy's coach. Lynch was a hero of mine. Too bad his sig guitars are ugly. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BX8_cc7Q6zM Tesla - Electricity!
  9. Yeah - "Man Notes" doesn't have the same ring to it.
  10. I want to be 'Officiando!'
  11. Man, the subject line of this thread is some blatantly false advertising.
  12. Otanjoubi Omedetou Gozaimasu!
  13. Crap - does pussified classical guitar count?
  14. 1) Partita #2 BWV1004 played by Manuel Barrueco 2) Scherzo-vals played by Stefano Grondona 3) The Way to Heaven, Buckethead 4) Poison was the Cure, Megadeth 5) Sonata romantica (Homage to F. Schubert): III. Allegretto Vivo played by Ana Vidovic (<-- hot cg chick, btw) 6) Mouth for War, Pantera 7) c** sancto spiritu de la missa de la fuga de Josquin [tercero libro] played by Hopkinson Smith (on Vihuela!) 8) Which Way Del Vecchio, Chet Atkins 9) Crawling from the Wreckage, Dave Edmunds 10) Where are you tonight? Cowboy Junkies Cool thread! Fun listening, too. I must do this more often. I don't have an iPod, but I use iTunes - close enough. Edited to add my props at our profanity filter for blocking out that horrid Latin word in the Narvaez piece.
  15. Wait! Hold on! What the heck is this quote in mathman's post?! "QUOTE(Eagleye1 @ Jul 6 2007, 12:06 PM) Well, of course, this is just the sort of blinkered philistine pig-ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker's cuss for the struggling artist. You excrement, you whining hypocritical toadies with your colour TV sets and your USA only Hamer Guitars (USA Parts on Hamer imports DON'T COUNT) and your bleeding HFC secret handshakes. You wouldn't let me join, would you, you blackballing bastards. Well I wouldn't become a Hamerfanclub forum member now if you went down on your lousy stinking knees and begged me....................Eagleye" I just want to make sure this important commentary is not glossed over here.
  16. Wow - he went straight from "Validating" to "Banned." That's got to be some kind of record.
  17. I blame myself.
  18. It's hard to get any studying done in there. The few times I've gone those waitresses in their skimpy schoolgirl outfits have hopped up on the bar and started dancing. Really distracting. All of Mill Ave is pretty cool if you're into the drunken college girl thing. The main drag in Scottsdale is good for the drunken rich chick silicone/collagen scene. You like flamenco at all? A decent restaurant with an amateur flamenco show every weekend is Pepin in Scottsdale. Depending on the night, there is another pseudo-flamenco troupe that plays the Hyatt Gainey Ranch resort, which is very nice. You may know it as the launching pad of my classical guitar hero, Esteban. We'll dig up some real rock for you...
  19. Last night at 9:20 p.m. we enjoyed the fireworks at Tempe Town Lake. 111°F. It's rough, but you kinda get used to it after that human temperature comfort module in your brain is finally killed (takes about one summer). What kind of music do you like? Gear, not so much to see in the city, but I can probably dig up an entertainment calendar and list of ok clubs if you provide the dates. More later. ~mitch
  20. What you don't seem to understand is that is a special bike, custom built to his own specifications by the greatest, yet unknown, builders on the planet. He's probably disgusted by all the idiots who drive the crap that the big overpriced respectable companies put out. He's also not selling out to corporate haircut man either.
  21. MezzhüggaH , don't forget umlauts. It just occured to me that we are on page four with no mention of His Royal Highness Dave Matthews.
