Yeah, I would jump on that but I am just going for trade. Thanks though!

no i never did. are you selling? PM me if you are.

Ah man, about 5 months ago, yeah I most likely would have been your buyer haha, but 7s just aint for me anymore bud. :/

For $600 though, I can't see it sticking around for long haha.

That's a bummer, he said he would let me know if he ever went to sell it. Ah well, I'm in the middle of selling off gear to pay for two surgeries I just had so I can't really buy anything anyway.

Hey brother, do you have any photo's of the Ibby XL ?

Should be a great combo! I went with both blazes just because I always go Evo 7 with Ibby swaps and figured the Blaze bridge is a little less hot and compressed so it sounds a bit more musical as a result. The Evo is awesome for the tight ass metal rhythm stuff though so it was a tough decision.

Noice man, congrats! As far as the stock pickup sounding like a specific real DiMarzio, no idea honestly. It sounds pretty good for a stock pickup (and being a generic "designed by ____" pickup at that) although like I mentioned in my NGD post the bobbins they used appear to be the same for both the neck and bridge pickups so the pole pieces don't line up 100% with the strings on the neck pickup. As far as it affecting the tone it doesn't seem to be hurting much, but it was something I noticed once I had mine in-hand. That being said, $150 for a set of real DiMarzios is an easy fix since I know the neck and bridge pickups are designed to land where they should on the real deal. I'm still enjoying it stock for the time being, I won't be sitting down to do the pickup swap until March anyways so it's not a biggie as far as I'm concerned right now.

I have a Rogue lx205b 5 string bass, not the best..but it's a 34 in. scale and not sure what strings to get that sound good in A tuning without sounding bad.

Not bad man. I am a full time student too, but I also work full time so I can spend some on gear.

My wish list at this time-

Various PRSi
ESP Horizon FR-7
ESP M-II Camo
Jackson RR1
Suhr Modern Silver Drip
Music Man JPXI
Vigier Excalibur Original

As for a stratty guitar, a Suhr, Anderson or Thorn would do you just fine man.

So, new best friend....

What guitars do you have? Just curious as you seem to have good taste with ESP, PRS, Music Man, Suhr ect

ROCK ON!!!
