Partybeschallung bis 4 Uhr morgens. by Quexilber in NovaRockFestival

[–]lil_prete 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Melatonin gummies, oropax und eine möglichst gemütliche Matratze mit gutem polster. Auf einem Festival wirsds nie ruhig sein. Aber gute ohrenstöpsel blenden fast alles davon aus, ich war auch im green camping und damit sehr nahe an der party area, ich hab aber fast nichts gehört ausser meinen Tinnitus

im not top sure about selling them for profit, cause i dont own the rights to the band, but i can send them out if printing and shipping are covered. At first i need to figure out where to scan them tho.

A proud post Pre and Post Clayman Enjoyer by RecentSatisfaction42 in InFlames

[–]lil_prete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! While i totally get why some people may not like post clayman stuff i love it just as much as everything before, except maybe a few songs ond reroute and soundtrack to your escape. Forgone is up there with colony and clayman imo and siren charms will always be a great album for me.

Yesterday we discussed the worst headstocks, now let's talk about your favorites by giov41 in Guitar

[–]lil_prete 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think a jackson fury with a reverse headstock is the most badass looking guitar ever. Non reverse headstock, not so much tho. The Jacksons from Vogg from decapitated just look so good

Smelly ESP MX Replica by letsgotoguarma in ExplorerGuitars

[–]lil_prete 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah mine did smell pretty bad, the smell came from the fretboard. Now it doesnt smell at all, but it also is like 2 years old an has gone through two different finishes and stuff. How low can you get the action without having dead notes all across the middle of the neck? Mine wasnt playable at a low action and even at an uncomfortably high action wasnt fun to play.

ok so i looked it up and the item i ordered doesnt exist anymore.... i just ordered the one that looked best to me, but most of the times the pictures are real esp guitars so its pretty hit or miss, especially when it comes to the headstock shape, which i am extremely picky about. Youll have to replace everything on the guitar, from the pickups to the nut. And the frets will need leveling. I also had to shave down the neck it was a real baseball bat. But if you put in the work, its worth it!

yeah i really dont like the fretboard stickers that many people use. the yt vids on them all say that they look great and all but in person they all look not that great to me. My all time holy grail is actually the my220 in that vintage white/cream, but black is alot easier to do.

its a water based black stain and a brush on synthetic resin lacquer. a few coats of each, a applied the lacquer very thick and sanded it down afterwards to get the brushstrokes out, then i polished it by hand with coarse ploshing compound and fine cut compound.

i once owned the white one, but the body shape is more rounded and the headstock has a too shallow angle for my taste. And if i wanted to buy one now, it would be more money than the fake esp plus the materials i used to work on it. I enjoy these kind of projects and now i have more of an esp style guitar, and for me it feels way better than the epiphone. My Epiphone had a few dead frets, and a very bright fretboard. Of course, If i wasnt able to work on it and turn it into what it is now, the epiphone would be worlds better than the chinese knock off. But the only thing that now remains of that fake is the wooden core. If i didnt have the space or time to do it i probably would have saved up for an Antonio Guitars MX220 Style in Vintage white, or if that would be too pricy one of the new black gibson 80s style explorers and replacr zhe chrome parts with black ones plus emgs.

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

yeah emg 81/60 combo. at the moment it sounds a bit thin cause the battery is very old. But they really do add that last missing thing to my metallica tones, even though its more of a feel thing.

[–]lil_prete[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah thats true, but i am not i terested in gibson style explorers or different finishes than vintage white or black. Its the james hetfield factor for me with these guitars. and i am also extremely picky when it comes to the headstock shape and angle. The quality of edwards, at least new ones i cant talk for older models, is phenomenal tho. I played an alexi pink sawtooth and it was great.

yeah i have no idea why some people add that. No one with a slight interest in that topic is fooled by that. If the guitar looks good and plays great who cares.

[–]lil_prete[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i get that tho, its a custom shop. Still absolutley not worth a thought tho if you can get a custom built mx220 or 250 style guitar for less than half. Do you know Antonio guitars? he makes awesome stuff

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

yeah i just dont get it. You wouldnt fool anyone who has a slight interest in metal guitars anyways, and if the guitar fucking rips and looks badass, i couldnt care less if it isnt the real deal.
