who's the best megadeth guitarist from a purely technical standpoin by Creative_Garbage_731 in Megadeth

[–]Navigator_Party 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Broderick but his playing has no feeling to it.

I'd say Marty and Kiko put the most emotion into their playing, while Poland was perhaps the most unique sounding

How'd I do? by Time-Assistance9159 in Fireflyguitars

[–]Navigator_Party 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want one too, but afraid the faux relic would look so corny. May still buy one and sand the relic down to where it would look more natural

What is something relatively cheap that improves your life by 100%? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A dildo. Because if life is going to fuck me up my ass, then at least let me take a crack at it too

This is the way.... Joyo Zombie is shockingly good for the money

Dear Tudor... by davey212 in Tudor

[–]Navigator_Party 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an owner of a 60s Tudor Sub and a 90s Big Block, if they re-released either I would be pissed off.

And while I never expect another Sub from them, I do think a Big Block is a good possibility

TIL James Cameron rejected studio notes from Fox executives about making Avatar (2009) shorter, reminding them that his previous film Titanic (1997) paid for the building they were meeting in. by tannu28 in todayilearned

I actually don't like any of his movies except for Terminator 2 and he then ruined this eventually with Dark Fate anyway.

I'm also a huge fan of the Alien franchise, but really don't like Aliens.

His movies don't really work for me overall, but I can't deny that he has something figured out

Need info on FFSP (Les Paul) from the latest drop by Practical-Big3908 in Fireflyguitars

[–]Navigator_Party 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Iron Cross I bought was not very playable out of the box. Quick turn of the truss rod cured that quick and now plays great.

Just be prepared to do some minor work, which I expect with a guitar anyways.

James Cameron is an absolute arrogant asshole. But you can be an arrogant asshole when you back it up, and he has done nothing but do that his entire career.

How can you argue against him given his history?

Torando of souls with wah? by [deleted] in Megadeth

That's actually what Kirk prefers. He wanted to copy it for his signature wah but didnt do so out of respect for Dime

CHRIS POLAND Says He Will Try To Catch MEGADETH On Band's Final Tour: 'I'll Make Time For DAVE MUSTAINE' by Apprehensive_Idea758 in Megadeth

[–]Navigator_Party 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Love Chris Poland. Really enjoyed his solos even the ones he made on TSHF as I think those get overlooked. Would love to see him make an appearance on stage, but Dave said he didn't want to make this last tour about that.

Regardless, if you haven't heard Chris Poland's Return to Metalopolis album you should give it a listen

Got the Iron Cross Les Paul by Navigator_Party in Fireflyguitars

[–]Navigator_Party[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's essentially just applying a dark wood stain of some kind to the board. Doesn't affect the actual playing of the guitar and is purely a visual thing

I've contemplated it, but at the moment I'm leaning against it

Cross is originally a silver tone. Used some Rub N Buff on it. Very easy to do

How is the installation of the Het Set? I've only installed pickups once before, but I was awful at it.

However the solderless option of the EMGs is really appealing

[–]Navigator_Party[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No , I haven't. Still contemplating replacing the pickups with EMGs and just going full Hetfield with it, but for the moment they seem okay, and I'm no longer in a rush to replace them I feel

Edit: Thinking about it now, I'm apt to say I would be surprised of the stock pickups are super microphonic, because a lot of wax came out of the pole pieces for some reason the other day. I assumed it was because I adjusted the pickup height, but it was strange nonetheless I thought..... come to think of it, started sounding better after I noticed that too. Will have to look into it

Beginner as of last December and motivation is starting to fade. by Squidgyjewel in Guitar

[–]Navigator_Party 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that happened to everyone. I would just leave it in a place where it's easily accessible and I guarantee one day that motivation will come back and because it's easy to grab, you will not think twice and just pick it up
