There is also too much angle on the HS

Never tried the "W", but for Lead stuff "M" is fantastic on my IV

RCA 12ax7's

Congrats How much does that thing weigh? All that acrylic's probably heavy as a mofo

For Thrash I'd recommend a..... Dimarzio Super2- It's a Super Distortion that's pushing more mids and a little less lows. IMO it's like Dimarzio's version of the Duncan JB Dimarzio X2N- Not for those who need a clean sound though

That's why I recommended a 2205/2210, and not a 2203/2204. I don't know if you've played with a 2205, but they're real different than a 2203. They have more pre-amp gain and IMO respond much better at lower volumes than a 2203 Having owned both and using them both as bed room amps, IMO a...

Those are F'n AWESOME!!!! And I hate traditional strats

The only real reason for bow is to hide bad fret work Low E on my 84 BCR Mockingbird is a .052, tuning to Eb, 24 3/4 scale, action is about .050 (LOW), no bow, Zero buzzes Either way, I hope we can agree that 1mm is ridiculous

What?.... No! There should be ZERO gap. The neck shouldn't be bowed back, but there should be no forward bow. The neck should be absolutely straight

"Should I get a Mark?" The answer to that question is always YES!!!!

Because 4 12L's is already too **** heavy

IMO the Peterson is the way to go. I've found that Korg's normally run a few cents sharp, but they're all equally off so if everyone uses that tuner it's not problem
