Goat, I already said I agreed with parker so wtf are you talking about? If the car behind is too close to you then there's only one option which is to speed up and get out the way. Most of the time however if you stay calm all you have to do is beep your horn. Anyone who hears a horn on the freeway will stop and double check what they are doing (most of the time).
Try doing this, and without a V8 or Turbo (the things you suggest should be outlawed) you'll get no where fast enough to move out of the way.
Best thing I ever did was fit a loud speaker and mic to tell these clowns exactly what they are. Yes, I own the roads

« on: July 15, 2010, 01:52:47 AM »Also, here's an example of (imo, what is) justified speeding... and it happens all the time. You're on a two lane road, all cars traveling close to the speed limit. One car directly behind you, one right next to you in the other lane. The car right next to you starts drifting or changing in to your lane, somehow unaware of your presence. What do you do?
1. Do nothing, the car next to you slams in to you, and all three of you are in an accident.
2. Slam your brakes in hope that the car next to you wont hit you... the car behind you fucks you up.
3. Speed up quickly (break the law, omgz) to get ahead of the car next to you, so you can avoid a collision altogether.
I agree. I tried to find some legislation relating to this but couldn't. You'd think any police witnessing this event would use common sense but I donno.
How about just using the fucking horn, on the steering wheel you should be holding onto for grim death.

Im gunna miss gunning it through these lights on amber. Makes a big difference if your car actually can accelerate though 
We got pulled up for "drag racing" when we were in LA recently. 140 kmph when the lights came on. Didnt even bother with a warning or a fine, just told us to keep spending tourist dollars, and have a fantastic trip. Two days before, a couple guys on motorbikes were next to us on the freeway pulling wheelies and egging us on. They sped off in a huge hurry, so we did too. Caught up with them about a km down the freeway. Once again, they egged us on, and then did a massive wheelie and took off. We looked across, and there is a black cop car with no headlights on at all (about two in the morning, and the freeways have no street lights either). He gives us the 'do a burnout' signal, and points off into the distance at the bikes, waves us on to say 'go for it', then they take the next exit. Awesome!

« on: May 28, 2010, 03:42:52 PM »
Want to make a custom guitar from scratch? For some people, this is a dream they always consider, but never get the opportunity to follow.
We are scheduling some final guitar making classes for the end of the year. Everything is supplied, and you'll walk away with your own guitar, made by you! You'll shape the neck by hand the traditional way, carve the pickup routs, rout the neck joint, install and level the frets, including assembly, wiring and learn to set it all up. You'll do everything!
2 x week long courses (sept + nov) SOLD OUT
1 x part time course (2 spots available)
We either need to fill the part time course (saturdays) or add another full time course (mon-sat) in either October, or some time around Jan/Feb/March.
Some options are available, including pickup winding, and inlay courses.
If anyone is interested, head over to this link, and then shoot us an email:

Ask Ormsby / Re: Single coil neck pickup for Jackson
« on: May 28, 2010, 03:35:24 PM »
What is high output? Why do you think you need it to have high output? How do you even know if something is high output? What does "350+" refer to?
You wont get clarity with output unless you also want it to sound sterile.
You wont get bass with oputput, without treble, without muddiness.
Warmth and clarity comes from low output (which does not mean low volume)
Winding a hotter pickup adds mids, removes bass and treble, to the point you have to use a different magnet to artificially boost the bass and treble (ceramic mags). Ceramic mags would never ever be described as warm. They are brittle and harsh.
Essentually, you are asking for the impossible, in a normal pickup.
Maybe a three coil version of one of these we recently made, might work. That way we can select three different windings (and magnets) for each pair of strings. Could even add an adjustable tone and volume control to each coil.

Equipment for sale / For Sale: Gibson LP Custom, 2x Jacksons, ESP, Quicksilver and Washburn N4
« on: May 21, 2010, 04:16:35 PM »All original. Nothing replaced or modified. Best of 18 customs I tried out over nearly two years of searching. Small paint chips on end of headstock, which have been recoloured so they arent too noticable. Slight scuffing on back, but nothing through to the wood. Lacquer has started aging nicely, so it has the somewhat vintage look, without being worn out. Frets show no wear. No arm wear. Some gold plating has started it corrode (as they all do) but it is minor. In ten years I might have played this one twice at a rehearsal, and very little "bedroom use". It's a 1990 build, which was when they got their shit together again, before the current bad run that they have been having for years.
2. Jackson Randy Rhoads Custom
Refinish in green to red sunburst. Built in Jan 1985, back when you had to order them custom, as they werent stocked in stores. Kahler trem, Duncan pickups. New pots. New jack. Sharkfin inlays in Ebony board. Poplar wings on maple neck through. Old style neck construction. Binding around neck and f/board. Some small chips on wing tips, but no buckle rash or playing wear. $2750 (ono) with original case (trashed), setup to suit your preferred string guage and style of playing. More pics available...
3. Jackson Warrior Custom
All original, practically mint condition. Warbird graphic was custom ordered with naked pinup mascot. Of the 200 Warriors build in the original run, only 19 had a naked mascot. This one is a red head! Built in 92, Sharkfin inlays in Ebony board. Poplar wings on maple neck through. Floyd Rose trem. Binding around neck and f/board. No buckle rash or playing wear. $1850 (ono) with original case, setup to suit your preferred string guage and style of playing. (pics pending)
4. ESP Eclipse
Has a couple chips, but otherwise in good condition. Its got the Seymour Duncans (JB and 59) and the original case.
From the first run of these back in 1993. Mahogany body, maple neck, ebony fretboard (scallopped 12-24th). Dimarzio pickups. Floyd Rose. Great guitar!! If you are familiar with these guitars, you'll know what they are all about. Bare bones, just tone. This one sings. Of all the guitars, i'll regret selling this one the most. Stephen's Extended Cutaway neck joint. $1500 (ono)
6. Roman Quicksilver Hollow
Taken on as part of a possible distribution deal for this brand of guitars in Australia. We got three guitars in. Two remain. We've decided to consentrate on our own production of Standard Series guitars, which these Roman's would have filled in for (more as a time saving option with a six week turn around rather than the 2 year wait of our full 'anything goes' customs). We can still take custom orders for these, but have chosen not to stock them as originally planned.
Hollow Body Roman Quicksilver. Alder body with premium Quilted Maple top. Laminated Maple bolt-on neck joint, with Ebony fretboard. Tone Pros bridge and stop tail, with Grover locking tuners. Bone nut. Ormsby Old School neck pickup, and Nunchucker bridge pickup, both hard mounted. Volume and Tone control with push/pull for coil splitting. VERY LIGHT WEIGHT. Nice smooth oiled neck, thin profile. Jumbo frets. Retail was listed as $6290 with a suggested street price of around $4190 in Australia. HOWEVER, we are offering this one at the proposed trade/wholesale price of $2490 with full warranty. BRAND NEW
Can do cash, credit card, paypal, direct deposit, laybuy, whatever.
All gear located in PERTH, but will happilly post ANYWHERE, safely boxed, wrapped, and protected and insured.

Personally, even if it costs a couple bucks a shirt more (it wasn't, they were cheaper) I'd still rather see my money go to someone in the local scene.
We will be speaking with them but it doesn't hurt to get other quotes - seems like bad business to just blindly throw your money at the first person that comes along.
Would have thought after all these years, Brad (and Dyson) have well and truely proven to have the local metal scene's best interest at heart. But, do what you gotta do.
