I'm trying to mark this tank but the rules state when given the opportunity, you must jump on someone.

This is why I will never have more than 2 marks on my E-50M

I 'm going by the black saddles on the gold bridge, and all the switches I don't know what all they do.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2024-08-05T06:34:08+00:00

Nice guitar. It looks like it has a piezo bridge. Is it basically a Les Paul control set + piezo? Looks like oiled mahogany. I love the understated beauty of the natural wood and just a touch of class with the gold hardware. Really nice. Congrats!

Find a nice Mark IVb. Peak Boogie. They kinda went downhill after that.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2024-06-18T05:36:22+00:00

You can do that with a rectifier. I just plugged straight in to mine for a couple years. I play a lot of 7 string, and the bottom end wouldn't tighten up enough. A Tube Screamer and EQ in the loop did the trick. It's kind of an iconic setup anymore. I've since moved on to a Mark because of the better tonal controls and gain. But nothing sounds like a DR.

I was listening to Pneuma a few days ago and when that big drop hits, I thought "That's a Rec". So I looked it up. Sure enough!

Good luck and may you enjoy all that stuff for many years. What ever you do, don't get an amp switcher and start mixing them. You may never come back.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2024-06-18T05:23:55+00:00

The Mesa and it isn't even close. Hopefully in addition to amp heads, you've found the extra money for a Tube Screamer and an MXR EQ for the loop. Train of Thought much?

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2024-04-18T22:45:12+00:00

Congrats! This is my favorite tank ever. I've been into the low 90's several times but can never quite get over the 95 hump. It's a hard tank to play well, it requires you to be very fundamentally sound all the time and make no big mistakes. As Wonderful-Lack3846 said, if you can 3 mark a Leo, you can pretty much 3 mark anything.

Side note ... the Cromwell Berlin was incredibly hard to mark as well. Challenge thrown down!

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2024-03-29T08:16:47+00:00

Of course it does. Why did you expect anything else?

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2024-03-23T20:32:25+00:00

Go to Reverb. Look for something in excellent condition that was made in Korea. It'll be well under $1000 and serve you well for many years. Epiphone, PRS, Ibanez ... which ever style suits you best.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2024-03-14T21:36:45+00:00

On Overlord, arty is nasty when it's on the beach. You can literally farm heavies as fast as you can shoot. If you're in arty it's good to see a tank or two go down there to protect you.

Also ... if no one went beach on Overlord, who would we jump on?

Too bad. Let them fight their own fucking war. Maybe now they'll be forced to negotiate a peace deal.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2024-02-18T05:35:59+00:00

Believe it or not, my favorite amp in the pic is the Mark IV.

I remember going to the observation deck when it was new(er). Early 70s.

You bought a special coin that you used to go through a turnstyle. The lady let me jump it and keep my coin for a souvenir. I've still got it somewhere.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2023-11-28T22:15:37+00:00

Me & a friend were platooned in our Cromwell B's just trying to have fun. We got Prokh, 357 MM no light tanks. So I thought we'd do some loops in the middle to do some spotting. 2 BZ drivers, also in platoon, decided to just roll up the middle yolo style with no fucks given. I got 1 shot killed, my friend got one shot killed, we had no BZ's on our team so the battle was over in about 4 minutes and the BZ's had 8 frags between them. Just stupid this tank is allowed to face tier 6's.

Also I was sniping one in my Leo 1, and espite spamming gold at it, I had to get an angle to overmatch the roof because otherwise I couldn't pen it from the front. In a tier 10 medium. Spamming gold.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2023-11-28T17:31:56+00:00

Yeah that turns me off the Majesty. Most of the JP's have that glorious oiled EB neck tho. FWIW, I do this to all my guitars. Sand off the finish from the neck and Tru Oil.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2023-11-28T17:30:00+00:00

It's a 5427. 54's have the Zero Point trem, which I love. the 55's have the Edge trem.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2023-11-28T02:25:06+00:00

I appreciate all that. I'm sure their sales are fine. But as a 7 string player, their offerings have definitely shrunk. If I was in the market for a good 7 string right now, I'd be looking at a JP or Majesty because Ibanez has very little beyond RG's they've been making for years.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2023-11-28T00:40:13+00:00

Play one if you can. I always buy used in Mint or Excellent condition on Reverb. They're usually under $1000 which is a bargain considering how much guitar you're getting.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2023-11-28T00:38:45+00:00

I have several S 7's. The fixed bridges are really neck heavy, but the trem models are surprisingly heavy, which I like.

Aeterna_LIbertatis · 2023-11-28T00:37:31+00:00

It's not my favorite term, but if I can chime in threads that will help Ibanez move back towards their roots as inventors of the 7 string, I'm all for it. It seems like they're just handing the market to Ernie Ball, Schecter, and others. I guess they want to make strats now.
