What's wrong with me?!?

[toejam]

It seems I've no longer got any guitars with Floyds, and a Floyded guitar is all I would ever use! I've still got my old Kramer with Floyd, but that thing's beat and the old wood post screws are tilted forward and won't be played any more. I'll still eventually get another guitar with a Floyd, but it really doesn't matter like it did before.

Of the 20 or so guitars I've owned through the years, now I've got six left in my stable, only one import, a Jackson Dinky HX that's string-thru with TOM bridge. The rest are USA models, a Jackson JJP with TOM/stoptail, a Carvin SC90 with TOM/stoptail, Fender Double Fat Strat with hardtail, Hamer Special FM with TOM/stoptail and Gibson LP Studio TOM/stoptail. Also, I usually always preferred 24-fretters, but only the Dinky and Carvin have 24 frets, the others have 22.
Am I getting old?!? [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img] Well, I will be 32 soon. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] This ever happen to anyone else?

It's happening to me as we speak and I'm not even 20 yet! Don't worry you're not getting old...just more mature [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

LOL Me, more mature? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] I thought I was actually getting more immature. [img]graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Does this mean the older we get the less interested we are in whether our "wiggle sticks" see any action or not? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

I'm a prog./death metal wanker. I play fast, innovative solos and other "musical masturbation", as some like to call it [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] . I'm already done with floyds, and I'm only 19 (almost 20). It's because I hate the compromise you have to make with floyds, and I hate how they feel. I'll find other ways to get those sounds.

Re: What\'s wrong with me?!?

I dont use a whammy, but I try to get one on every guitar. I would love to be able to use it like Satch. He knows how to actually use it..........Unlike most people out there.........Especially the ones that ***** about whammies..........

Didn't you make a topic called "Where have my Floyds gone" semi-recently? [img]graemlins/poke.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

Re: What\'s wrong with me?!?

I've always been a ToM guy. When I finally got a guitar with a Floyd it was cool, but... you know... Vai did it all 15 years ago. What's the point of doing it now except to impress the guys with mullets at the local bar? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: What\'s wrong with me?!?

Joe I did you one better ...I went from total bassaholic (for years) to full time Guitar with floyds ..

now I'm gettin' the "itch" again to play bass ...because after I literally threw the bass track on my Demo w / a borrowed bass the day before ...I realized I'm too good to threw that gift away...

But for now I have something to say on guitar..

If and when I pick up the bass again ..me and Ty(singer) would probably like to hook back up with John ...and do some killer covers to make a little coin and maybe a couple of old originals in the mix to have some fun.. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Cool! Gotta get those demos up soon. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img] My dad's friend used to play bass in an old wedding/jazz-type band years ago and I borrowed his bass for a little bit and messed around. It was pretty cool, and I may eventually get another. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: What\'s wrong with me?!?

I've got 5 guitars, 3 of which have Floyds (or licensed), one has a WIlkinson, and one is string-through. I actually prefer the string though and Wilkinson to the Floyd models. Most of the guitars I want are non-trem pieces. I'll be 26 in July so I'm not that old. It's just that I don't use the trem that much.

Re: What\'s wrong with me?!?

I breifly wrote to John ...he can post them..

I'm reluctant to show the demos actualy ...why ...first impressions is everything.

If you take it for what it is worth (basement tape) then yeah ...i'll post them

just to get an "idea" of what I do ..but the sound is horrible ...IMO

should I , or not post this crap... [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img]

The songs are cool (I think) but the tape sounds like shit.. [img]graemlins/eyes.gif[/img]

it was just to give a local Metal DJ an idea what we do...basement tape.
