It's been out in Australia since Friday but most of the world is just now waking up to the new Rush album, Clockwork Angels. What do you think? I love it! Such a great mix of, well, everything I ever liked about Rush. Neil is in career-topping form on this thing, Geddy's bass is way out front...

Hey guys!!! Check out Alex Lifeson's new amp cabs from Hughes & Kettner!!! Freekin WOW!!!!! Looks like something from the set of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea!!! haha!! Enjoy!!! :cool: !

c'mon Epiphone,make it happen! I think it would be a kick-ass axe,lifeson is a legend. Mahogony body and thick maple top,Seymour duncan '59 neck PAF bridge,Etc..whatever combination suits it ...and the PLUS,an original floyd. Sadly,I don't think EPI would make such a guitar with a quality...

I thought this would be cool, but besides choosing from anyone out there, i'v listed some of the best and most popular slingers :)

I am hell bent on getting me an Ibanez with a neck that has a profile true to the wizard/super wizard dimensions. In one of the other threads i have been informed that J-customs no longer really come with the dimensions that Ibanez advertises on their website. The neck should be 17mm at the...

Thought this would be a good thread, usually works pretty well on the other forum i post at. here are a couple to get the ball rolling:

There's a thread I made about my original Ed's Baby (#1) - the original of which is commonly known as Frankenstein/Franky etc. Here's a link, for reference: Click here to review the thread on my original take on Ed's old monster, reassembled last year Though still a work in progress, as I'm...

I have always wanted a VWH and/or VSBL, and a EBJPM. But, is it a deterrent? Can one be taken seriously if they play a signature series guitar? The reason why it is such a tough debate for myself, is I have rarely ever found guitars that play with such ease as a JEM/JPM. The feel of the neck...

So I want to preface this by saying FOR THE price and in my opinion. Last night I went to practice with my band; and in Japan, since amps are rediculously expensive and also hard to carry for the average train taking person, I played through a JC-120. I use a VOX Bulldog Distortion as my only...

I suspect a bunch of us know, met, was in a room with, did work for, gave a lesson to, or jammed with someone notable/famous. I thought it would be fun to have a thread dedicated to the purpose of 'bragging' about it. ;) This could be fun to watch. I'll go first. I know the Fuel guys...

Anyone else watching other companies for what they might have coming out this week? Just curious. We're all very Ibanez-intensive around here. ;) Not sure if this is in the right section, either....

Well I got bored and my pal at the local store got a switchblade. So I thought I run over with my JEM and try it for a bit, since during the holidays the store is dead anyways ;) Features: Ok this baby is packed with features. 4 Channels and built in effects (Reverb, Delay, Modulation - Flanger...

Now that Xmas is over, I thought I'd put this baby back up for sale. Bought in February 2007, so it's a little less than a year old. Barely been played, just sat in its case. The previous owner also barely touched it. White with gold hardware a la Alex Lifeson. 9.5/10 condition. Pics...

They seem to be really banging out the new models, huh? Check this new one out! It's the semi-hollow SH-550, sort of like the Howard Roberts Fusion that Alex Lifeson used to play, and it looks pretty damned good! EDIT: Whoops, There's 2 new Carvins :) There's SH-575 as well, shown here with...

in 2008 I will almost certainly be getting a Musicman JP6, probably in mystic dream, with piezo but definitely not with the inlays. I would also like a mahogany bodied RG type so hopefully will pick up a J custom as well. This will depend on what the winter NAMM throws up though I am 90% sure...

If you missed Rush on their Snakes & Arrows tour, here's another chance to see them! Rush is re-touring in 2008 with a revamped set list. I was thinking last week how I wish I could see Rush again. SWEET!!! :cool: RUSH EXTEND WORLD TOUR INTO 2008 TORONTO, ON - December 12, 2007: After a...

I was watching some vids and this question came to me.. Do rhythm guitarists crave gear / tone like lead guitarists do??? For me, most of the sound I am 'looking' for has to do with lead.. If I only played rhythm, I would never have parted with my genz benz ( heavy sounding like a mesa...

Lately I've been paying alot of attention to tone, and mostly in Rock guitar. I would really like to see some players you guys enjoy tone wise. I'm gonna list some, and I gotta say, the guy I HATE the most is Brad Gillis, worst guitar player ever, but anyway, here is my List of best tone in...
