I have and use a large variety of picks. My go to for the longest time though and still the dominant species is the Dunlop 500 2.0 mm. I started using these back when I was also using daddario 8s . You'd be surprised how much control you have with a stiff pick and little slinkmeister strings...

Looks like a reasonable SS workhorse. Just ad a chorus pedal now.

Dustball turned 26 this past March. Cancer free for 6 1/2 years. He is living in VA and doing ok. I'll mention that this board is up and that some of ya'll remember him. Peace

Thanks folks! :) Projects are far between. Well, completed projects. I have a bunch of projects in varying stages of completion. Some have been sitting for years (embarrassing) since last progress was made. I got the Greenbacks from a NYC studio player who is actually the touring/recording...

Update my status? To what?

Yes, The bamboo is a maybe. My buddy says it looks like macaroni art from a kindergarten kid. Lol,. I may just leave it on there because he said that. The Utopia is cool. I amazingly found it at Sam Ash a couple months back. NOS with box and literature and got it for $35. Shoot, just went for...

I built myself a 2x12 cab last month and since I am now a newly semi-active forumite I figured I would share. I am no master builder. I employ butt joints. All material I scavenge from the evil laboratory or Home Pedot. Box= 11" wide x 3/4" pine. Baffle= floating 1/4" birch ply. Drivers=...

Ha! For what it's worth I got the vinyl at AutoZone 15"x 30" sheet rolled up in a blister pack. I will be doing the truss rod cover as well as the tuner buttons to continue that carbon look up the neck onto the headstock. I could do the whole head stock but I don't want to lose the logo. That's...

As a matter of fact I did go over the fretboard. I use black leather dye. The kind in the bottle with the sponge tip for application to shoes. Lol. 3-4 coats and now its ebony! I saw guys online using sharpies for that. That's alot of sharpie coloring and stinky. I did hit some oxidized pick...

It sounds exactly like it did before I wrapped it in plastic. Go figure! Tone wood my hind end... Sounds great, the stock pups are kind of unremarkable but I mod guitars for fun so that works out. I have a dream of installing a P-Rail in the bridge position because they sound great and they...

I still visit guitar centers frequently as well as Sam Ash and I buy from GC and SA too. My local mom and pop is not as convenient to get to but I still buy my consumables there as well as some mod parts. I like the M&P because the folks who work there aren't dorks. I could never get a $50...

First, I haven't been here on Mark's forum in quite some time. It's a cool place that I will log into more frequently. I recently picked up a Jackson PS-1 which is the low end of their low end Performer series from back in the 90s. I like it. It was black on black and I was able to set it up to...

Not much on the down-stroke heavy style for me, seems less efficient but she pulls it off well.

I tried the "old school" pepsi and mountain dew soda side by side with the currant variants. I prefer the HFCS versions. New coke was about as lame as Pepsi Clear (Right now).
