Fleshed out my look for the Sunn, all black. Things always sound better in all black.
-
Yeh, the shrillest I will go metal wise is the Boss HM-2, that's mainly because I love Entombed and the chainsaw guitar tone.
-
I'm also looking at picking up a Mountainking Megalith. Monsterous. http://www.mountainkingelectronics.net/megalith.html

At the moment I've got a Hyper Fuzz, ProCo Rat and a Big Muff, I'd eventually like to pick up an original Super-Fuzz and maybe an Earthbound Supercollider, they are crushingly good. I'm running through an Sunn Studio Lead at the moment, eventually want to get hold of a Model-T but with my travelling it's not adequate to be lugging around. Plus this combo is pretty awesome as it is.
-
Here's my new toy. Not bad for 50 pounds including the hard case. Next up is to check the wiring and replace the pick ups. I'm torn between a Dimarzio Super Distortion for the bridge or going with a Seymour Duncan set, SH-6 Duncan Distortion for the Bridge with 2 JB Jr singles for the middle and neck. This bad boy is mainly gonna be for some stoner/doom work.
-
Yeh, they do have a slightly rounded body base but the back isn't as rounded as a standard Strat, it's pretty squarish, just a nicer 4 pickup setup with the 2 singles and a double on the bridge and as you say they're built well and also heavy as fuck for a Strat copy, they re-released it with a model made in china but they're even cheaper and not very good. Always a great bargain when you can get an original 88-91 model.

I've just picked up an original 89' Fender Sunn Mustang for 50 quid which I'm very happy with. Lovely piece of kit for playing straight up doom and drone music. Only downside is it's at my parents in UK and I can't get my hands on it until December.
-
I've only just realised I missed my EWB 10th Anniversary in May. Oh well.

What's more traumatising is that this time 10 years ago I was at University. My how time flies.
-
Mine was in June. That seems like a long long time.
-
Same here, since June I've travelled around the globe in one complete circle for the first time. Quite a journey.

Sons of Anarchy, The Final Season **SPOILERS**
fourstarfizzle replied to MalaCloudy Black's topic in Movies & TV
That end part reminded me of the torture/death scene from Gangster No.1 with Paul Bettany. Especially the bit where he takes his clothes of to not get blood on them. Very dark indeed. -
My American travels saw me see a fair few gigs, got to see Run Westy Run/BNLX in Minneapolis, and in LA I got to see Babymetal, The Hold Steady, Wolves in the Throne Room, Municipal Waste & The Shrine. Damn awesome holiday.
-
Boreman was awful. Great baker just no flair. I'm top 3 are Richard, Chetna and Martha. This also still tickles me:
-
True story, I was on a flight from Los Angeles to London about a month back and got sat next to Marilyn Manson in 1st class. Nice chap for the 5 minutes I spoke to him.
-
I've now also got Wolves In The Throne Room during LA stay. Very excited. Haven't seen them live since Hellfest 2010.
-
I've landed myself tickets for The Hold Steady at the El Rey in Los Angeles whilst I'm travelling, so I'm stocked for that. Hopefully find some other decent gigs as I'm in the country for 6 weeks.
-
Just invested in a new craft brewery in Mongolia. Exciting times.

What is it called?
-
It's not easy to sack every microbrewery from the Gobi Desert to the Levant... unless you are the Mongols.
-
We're still working on a name, beers are now in fermentation so we'll see how the first batches come out. "Scoperta Street Brewing Company" is a strong favourite though.
-
Just got hold of The Hold Steady's "Teeth Dreams" album. Been a few years since they released something and I have to say it's top notch. A real guitar driven album and probably one of their strongest albums to date.
-
If you stare close at it and move awaw, it's actually a magic eye picture of Adams snapping a player.

-
Watched "Snowpiercer" last night. Fantastic sci-fi film with such a Terry Gilliam vibe to it. Probaby the best acting role I've seen Chris Evans in. Definitely worth a watch.
-
Hellyeah should actually be called Hellno. They're fucking awful.
-
DC Thomson, the publisher of Bananaman, has confirmed a live action movie is in pre-production.
-
Looking at the companies involved, it's looking like a solid British production. I'm not sure the US would get Bananaman.
-
Also one of the greatest superhero themes that also sounded very sad.

I hope this isn't a hoax... http://www.bananamanmovie.com/

Been listening to these chaps again recently. I'd never heard of them, until they actually crashed as my mates house during their UK tour. Lovely chaps, and Devin took no offence when I drunkenly greeted him with "Holy fuck it's Ted Dansons son!". Good stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9ARqQxWh14
