    Somebody stole DVM's idea!

    Don't forget Boss. (yes, I know it's an overdrive and not a distortion. But it's close enough.)

    Site is Very Slow Lately

    I can remember the days of dialup when every page took that long to load... :thwap Still, if the adverts bother you that much, get an adblocker plugin for your browser (I run one, although I have got a paid subscription here to make up for it...:AOK).

    Anybody know which Ibanez this is?

    It looks like an AXS32: http://ibanez.wikia.com/wiki/AXS32 At least, that's what the file names of all of the photos in the ad would suggest.

    PC went bust...

    I've been doing a lot of research into PCs recently (building another one myself at the end of the year, hopefully) and I agree with Eric - get a Z68 motherboard. IIRC the CPU can't be overclocked properly unless you're using a Z68 or one of the others...can't remember which one though.

    Oh no Ibanez

    Thinner as in Strat style or thinner as in Ibanez Wizard? If it's the latter I'll pass, I really can't stand them. I'm still waiting for them to make a mass-produced 7-string Darkstone like Isaac Delahaye's (Epica).

    i sure miss...

    It's already there, just renamed. Top right, "View First Unread". :)

    Fretboard Radius!

    Compound 12-16 (just to be awkward). ;) Nah, I really prefer 16" radius fretboards. I find them easier to play lead parts on.

    Evaluating guitars etc.

    I think one of things people seem to forget with professional guitar reviews is it's a review of the product, not the style. As such, you can't really complain about the lack of a second cutaway on a Les Paul style guitar, for example. Every kind of guitar has certain characteristics, and unless...

    Your favorite female vocalists?

    There's another that, truth be told, is my favourite singer. Ryann Donnelly, formerly of the band Schoolyard Heroes. She's got an incredible voice and probably the largest range I've heard from any non-operatic singer. However, their songs are in a genre of music that is definitely not to most...

    Your favorite female vocalists?

    I saw Delain live at the first show of their current tour (also their first show ever with their new guitarist) and they were just as good live. They used very little in the way of backing tracks as well, for 99% of the gig it was just what they were playing/singing. It's from "If then else"...

    Your favorite female vocalists?

    I'll have to skip a couple since Spud's already posted Floor and Simone... :) Charlotte Wessells: g-X-9UNu3Nw Marcela Bovio: FW9UALTrtoo (sorry for the bad audio quality, it's the only one I could find...) Anneke van Giersbergen: P8JzHsfJzow Vibeke Stene: WgRGAkchn84

    What String Gauge Do You Use?

    For Standard tuning I use 10s on electric and 12s on acoustic. I use heavier strings most of the time though as I drop-tune a lot; I'm currently using 12-60s in C Standard although I'm swapping to 11-54s in Drop-C next time I change strings.

    Liking that...looking forward to seeing a full photo of the red one! :socool Am I right in assuming that the Bender's a 24.75" scale length?

    *sigh*...Opeth

    I personally like the whole double-kick-drum/growled vocals thing, especially the sudden changes to it that Opeth use. But I know what you mean, it's not to everyone's taste and it can definitely get boring after a while. They're not strictly the same genre as Opeth, but you might want to check...

    Where do you keep your right hand?

    Depends what I'm playing. If it's going to involve palm-muting I tend to keep my hand as close to the bridge as possible, and use my thumb and one finger to hold the pick. I do the same for lead playing as I find I can play faster that way. If it doesn't involve palm muting then I tend to hold...

    The Now Playing Thread

    I have a feeling I've posted these before, but they're too good not to post again: 8ybH2M0Z3ew n_xHLEPufzA I'm going to have to get that. I've only got Still Life so far but it is definitely awesome. I'm disappointed they didn't play Burden though, but I suppose they're sick of it by now...

    The "This guitar makes me a better player" thread ;-)

    For my it's my Schecter Tempest. My first pro-quality guitar, and it just suits my playing style perfectly. It plays much easier than my previous guitars so I've played it more. It stays in tune better, sounds better, and it was the first guitar I got which actually intonated properly. :AOK...
