    Yes, the neck heel is like a stop block indeed. But it's not a show stopper unless you need to run double octave arpeggios involving all seven strings. You do have that kind of access until 22nd fret though. My main gripe with it is not that the heel join is big. It's actually very comfortable...

    Recommend me a 7-string extended scale with soapbar pickups

    Looking for recommendations that fit specifications below. Must have: 1. 7-string 2. Fixed bridge 3. Soapbar pickup(s) 4. Scale longer than 25,5" Options: Does not have to be a major brand. Can be multiscale, but without triangles of shame (slanted nut, square fretboard). Evertune could be ok...

    Fluence Set Advice

    From what I have read and listened, Tosin set should solve your problem. According to the video below, they have a tasteful scoop that works with gain and yields better cleans. Javier models supposed to be rather bubbly dark sounding, which works for crunch and tap, but sucks for aggressive...

    NPD: Seymour Duncan Retribution

    Alright, it took me a while to get these installed and tested. Bridge pickup is better than I remembered and the set plays together really well. I also swapped the bridge and neck pickups around to check what kind of sonic and feel difference there is. Dino told be that despite his signature...

    Christian Olde Wolbers new music/FF?

    Which AI did you use to get these lyrics? I tried Gemini and got very similar lyrics with similar placing of words like "seed", "steel", "decay" and "synthetic".

    Christian Olde Wolbers new music/FF?

    Well, if I got the history right, then it was BCB that set off a chain of events that eventually tanked 3th gen FF. By design, bankruptcy is an every man for himself type of deal. I don't see why Dino would had to do the rights acquisition any other way. Plus, Dino actually offered BCB to return...

    Christian Olde Wolbers new music/FF?

    If COW's project will feature Bell and Hoglan, then that band could be called Machine Shop and their album Scrap Metal :D I actually found Arkea songs that were meant for Fear Factory (instantly recognizeable) quite entertaining, although a tad repetitive. COW certainly can come up with catchy...

    Christian Olde Wolbers new music/FF?

    Christian's songwriting style is rather simplified, but it has it's definite merit. His bread and butter is pummeling syncopation (like Dino) and saturated barre chords (instead of Dino's pedal notes) which work together very well. Not sure how tight his playing will be live. From his posts it...

    Random Pics of Your Sevens

    Great to see so many non-trem Ibanez guitars. Always nice to see an AX7 and Apex2 :)

    Anyone watching the big game tonight?

    Far removed is when you keep funding a country to fight a war they cannot win, sending people to die when your ass is safe overseas. No, Godwin's Law has nothing to do with your statement that if not for Ukriane, Russia will colonize Europe. Occupation is extremely expensive, Pentagon...

    Anyone watching the big game tonight?

    It's actually even more strict within public official domain. My exact point was that the game went already too far behind the closed doors, so it was hard for parties to hold back even in front of cameras. Jeff Bezos and Joe the plummer are both CEO's, but equals in no other way. So Trump's MO...

    Anyone watching the big game tonight?

    Reading all these comments makes me wonder what the hell are most of ya'll doing for living... this shit right here is turning into a sad echo chamber. I watched the seven minute spat and, of course, was very disturbed how that went down. But then watched also the entire conference on C-SPAN and...

    Ibanez - Iron Label RGRB720 vs. Prestige RGR752AHBF?

    I bet Prestige neck will be the main attraction and guitars these days are all about the neck and fretwork. You can carve a double cut out of epoxy filled trash, put quality pickups in it and it will sound just as good through your headphones as exquisite "tonewood" guitars. That said, if you...
