YOUCOULDBEMINE. Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 ''Hey look at me, I'm Ron Thal and I just took 3 shots of Jäger look how cool I am!''If I say that people would bash me.But if I say ''Hey look at me, I'm DJ Ashba and I just took 3 shots of Jäger look how cool I am!'' people would agree with me and say that DJ is a poser.You know I'm right.Oh, and Ron is awesome. The guy is nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Just noticed he's got a wounded G string. Way to go, Bumble! Heavy gauges is da shit. What gauge is that, I wonder... 13's, 12's, maybe? That doesn't look like 14's, 15's, 16's or 17's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What gauge is that, I wonder... 13's, 12's, maybe? That doesn't look like 14's, 15's, 16's or 17's.Probably .013's. Great thing about fretless guitars are you don't 'bend' the strings, so having a VERY heavy gauge is not really an issue. On a fretted guitar, the heavier the gauge, the hard it is to bend. Soooo tempted to order a Vigier fretless now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wicked Hand Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Or just have it set up from the gitgo to serve heavy strings at whatever tension you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lower you tune down, the muddier the sounds gets.Or just have it set up from the gitgo to serve heavy strings at whatever tension you want.Aka lower the action. 'Cept fret buzz ain't cool, bro. ; )Fret buzz does suck indeed. Edited January 21, 2012 by Young_Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NewGNRnOldGNR Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 You can only keep touring the same songs over and over and over again for so long. Theatres have the option off presenting new songs to a more gratifying audience. The last US run was to steal a few mill & achieve whatever promotion for Chinese possible; GN'R at a theatre near U part deux starts now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a little much to fuck around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 He's really looking more and more like Rasputin, close enough to get acting work. NAMM sounded like fun - they roasted Zakk Wylde. I know they run the Museum of Making Music in San Diego (Carlsbad) and worth checking out if you're in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
