While I'm not a big fan of the style of music(err mostly because of the vocals), I dig your playing. I hope you have a lot of fun with that guitar, good sir.

csplayer089 · 06-29-2012, 02:36 PM

I like it. It's a little too saturated for my tastes. The low B sounds so sick though. THUD.

alligatorbling · 06-29-2012, 02:55 PM

metal muff, 10 band eq scooped, drop A..... holy sxhit.... so... much.... gain.......

captcoolaid · 06-29-2012, 02:59 PM

Hahahahahaha fun shite there brother Bling.

alligatorbling · 06-29-2012, 03:02 PM

i have rekindled my love for the chug a lug heavy sxhit!

i have some new accessories for my 7 string on the way, the pups are here, i will get installed this week hopefully =)

(the tone knob will be there only for cosmetics, i plan to bypass it and have a 3 way switch, and single volume knob)

alligatorbling · 07-02-2012, 03:37 PM

just ordered a yellow 6" brass knuckles vinyl decal

this should add to the broooootalness!

lol

I thought that I heard a delivery truck pull up.

I paused your clip to go look outside and the truck-sound went away.

Holy Low Frequencies, Batman!

alligatorbling · 07-03-2012, 07:48 AM

dimarzio d acitvators installed, along with 3 way switch, single volume, bypassed tone knob.... straight to the brain! well... almost, its a volume there, but i wanted to have that.

i also put a new set of strings on, dunlop heavy core 10-60

these help with drop tuning tremendously

i really like the pups.... they almost sound active, but not quite. a very unique tone =)

ill get clips up later on =)

alligatorbling · 07-03-2012, 08:31 AM

i got to thinking.... with the tone knob not functional, why not put a kill switch there?

=D

matthew bear · 07-03-2012, 08:43 AM

Yesssssssss!!!!!!!

cynic79 · 07-03-2012, 09:30 AM

Nice.

Nothing like chugging on some low string metal riffs. It may not be quite my style anymore, but it's still fun every once in a while.

dont forget sludge doom rock too =D

throw this into the mix with high gain....

i run the 7 string into the bass guitar input =)

csplayer089 · 07-03-2012, 10:53 AM

I said it before but D-Activators are amazing.

i am really digging them!

i had almost forgotten how good they sound, i sold my old 7 string with d activators about 2 years ago or so.

for anyone thinking about going active, i say try these instead! no batteries and awesome high gain tone! im amazed at how much clarity the low B has, drop A, even drop G still boast tons of clarity, even with tremendous amounts of gain... this is true both for bridge AND neck positions amazingly enough!

alligatorbling · 07-03-2012, 12:59 PM

playing in the bridge position with my new d activators, gain knob on the phaez is a little past 3 oclock, mxr 10 band eq scooped.

i play around with the kill switch a little in the video as well =)

OH DUDE!

For some reason, when we were chatting the other day, I assumed we were talking about your 2HB Strat.

I've been somewhat absent from the forum between the Philly show and my relocating of ReWind HQ. I guessed I missed some action!

Well, HNGD and I think the PUs/knobs look badass in it too! I've got a MetalZone you can have, if you want.

Now you need to learn some 7 string songs....

Lovin' it!

How about a clean demo? I like the way the D-Activators sound clean. Very chimey, almost like a single coil.

i had forgot to mention that.... they do have a unique chime do they not?! =)

i bet they would sound fantastic with a little reverb =)

Dang Bling, now you gotta me eyeballin' 7 Strings.

dude, if you can find one in your price range go for it, with your chops you would have a damn field day with it!

csplayer089 · 07-03-2012, 02:53 PM

I just did a demo of my D-Activator 6-string version in my Ibanez..I'll upload it and share it if the sound quality is good. My camera is a POS.

Malikon · 07-03-2012, 02:54 PM

I had an Ibby 7 string about,..oh...11 years ago?

The whole thing came apart on me after about a year, really spoiled me on Ibbys. (probably partly my fault, I was hard on gear and didn't take care of it.)

But still,...a 7 string LP would be kinda fun. I've been wanting a 'shredder/24 fret' guitar for a little while, mostly for teaching.

I really like the Ibanez S series guitars (those whammy systems they build are incredible)

A 7 string would be fun though,...an 8 string would be too actually (Schecter makes a decent one.)

I just know I wouldn't use them very much though. Kinda like my Strat. I love it, wont get rid of it,....but I still only play it like,...maybe one day a month?

LP's just feel right.

I think part of it is just the size of an LP. It's not a big guitar,...probably appeals to my violin fetish or something.
