Yeah I can't imagine blasting ,3500 on a whim

Good income, zero debt, low impulse control, and keeping myself busy during a year+ break from video games.

Oh I don't blame you. Just not at a point in my life where I can do that without serious consideration

This wound up being the one. Sustaniac is cool, not sure how practical, but something fun to mess with for the time being.

Is that a hellraiser? I had trouble with neck thickness. Welcome to the schecter club. Got fishmans in mine but no Floyd

Being single helps.

Yep, it's a hellraiser. This is my second Schecter, I have a Super Shredder as well and it's been awesome.

I know nothing about rocksmith. Just out of curiousity I looked on steam. Kind of suprised at some of the DLC they have. Some Hank Williams.

Well it's kind of for everyone, so they include basically every genre

Honestly man if you want to play blues, learn the minor pentatonic scale then YouTube "blues back track" and just play notes from the scale. Not even joking, do that. That's what blues is all about

I know a few blues scales from harmonica. Just struck me as odd that the RS catalog is missing what is the backbone of all rock n roll.

They've got a decent enough blues selection. I don't know how well blues lends to Rocksmithing anyway. It's more about improvisation than anything.

Tried out some amps this weekend. Anyone checked out the PRS Mark tremonti amps? I thought it sounded sick as hell for a $650. Think I might go back and buy one...

At that price 5150

I like the 5150, it has a naturally better distortion I think, but the PRS matches it easily with a tube screamer and the clean on PRS kicks the dick off of the EVH.

I boost my 6505 with an airis savage drive. I don't fuck around

And fishmans Keith merrow set

I think I know the direction I'm going amp wise. Monoprice 15w. They are only 250 and sound absolutely awesome. For anyone who wants a killer tube amp for a transistor price, check these out.

So last week I finally got my Axe-FX III Fractal in the mail. Holy....Fucking....Shit....I've had just a few hours of sleep over the past few days while I've dialed in tones. King's X - Out of the Silent Plant - Check. Rush - Moving Pictures - Check. Big Wreck - In Loving Memory Of - Check. Porcupine Tree - Deadwing - Check. U2 - Unforgettable Fire - Check. Alice in Chains - Dirt - Check.

The list goes on. My room of amps are about to collect an unhealthy amount of dust.
