Oops. Looks like the one I found is gone. Sorry about that.

“It looks like that piece of gear is gone.”

That was actually a C-5 GT and a great price. That would have been a no-brainer lol, and it would have only taken like a day to get to me, too.
Edit:

I can still use it to send an offer to mister $950 :eyes:

The Carvin guy now knows I own a Carvins. There’s a community around Carvin owners. Maybe he’ll hook me up, too :eyes:

Or it’ll f me as he’ll think he’s got me hooked :upside_down_face:

I may have just wishlisted a ton of red and red/black guitar straps on Amazon…

Edit Checking back, not nearly as many as I thought. I wishlisted others, too, for the GWB35, N8FP, etc…

These are tougher to find than one would think. Check out Right On! straps. They’ve got some cool velvet ones.

I require only the most metal of guitar straps, sir. :metal:t2:

Ignore the flowers on the straps of The Beast and my SC-607 :eyes:

I like the monte carlo red and the breathe red :slight_smile: thanks!

Red Monkey designs

Where Kerry King gets his, hard to be more metal.

Now to hang chain links from your belt

You’re ahead of me, you have the board, I only have the tuner! :laughing:

So…what overdrive|distortion|fuzz pedal?

I think i got 2 overdrive pedals. I was looking at my Amazon purchases and both say overdrive on them but the Boss ODB3 says its overdrive and distortion. The other is a MXR Bass Overdrive

if you know how to use a soldering iron, this mod makes the ODB-3 really great :

You would think Boss would make a better pedal…I do know how to solder.

yeah, this happens with pedals … sometimes it’s kinda strange that a small and easy mod makes the thing so much better !

Perfect candidate for a mod for them to make a WazaCraft version

turns out Carvin/Kiesel KRH radiused pickup is Bartolini P2 sized, and their P is thankfully standard Ps (they have a rep on older instruments to use pickups not the same size and making it a pain to replace with non-Carvin pickups).

The Xcellerator electronics are great-sounding but just don’t go where I want for a crisp metal sound. Could be the strings, too, but they are Dunlop Superbrights, not exactly dull strings. I predominantly play The Beast with fingers so it barely matters, but a pick it just isn’t there. If I get the red one I’ll probably swap out the pickups, but Fishman only makes Fluences in EMG 35 and 40 sizes :sob: EMG doesn’t make P2 size, so a P6/DC combo like the GT is out. Tucking a Tone Capsule into it will be sketchy due to only 4 holes :eyes:

Fuck my life.

EditObviously strings will be a factor but down the Bartolini rabbit hole I go…

Naturally Bartolini doesn’t make a 6-string P… sigh.
