  2. this is wierd . . . not sure i like it, i like the tagline, at the end 'true life experience' how the hell is that true life experience, why not actually go out and do something instead?
  3. nick and ash, i have sent you both pm's damn this is soo confusing, but we are no def riding portsmouth first??? (monday!!!) if we are, then nick please ignore your pm damn, i getting excited about this, and i have a new bar and stem!!! yay
  4. yeh i need a lift from southend/london/portsmouth, and happy to share costs etc then the rest of the way im in with ash though
  5. we need V brake mounts!!!!!! and definetly horizontal dropouts!!!! all tensioners suck! and like simpson said possibly some slightly shorter chainstays disk mounts dont really care, weight=not bothered
  6. i will most likley be training from southend to london and then to portsmouth, before i get in the car with ash. although i dont live in the uk, but whatever eh does anyone have a spare floor to sleep in southend/london??? also who was looking for a rear wheel? i have a spare, 24, rhyno lite, hope xc, needs some spring though. also got a few other bits if anyone needs them
  7. cool cool thanks for the lift Ash does anyone have any space in a car from southend to London to Portsmouth???? i dont really want to have to train . . . . .
  8. does anyone have any space in their car for the whole trip or at least most of it???? desperate to come, will chip in on all costs not a problem also sam, how you getting over??? you going by plane to London???
  9. i agree, lols step-plate scratchplate does look a little off, maybe on a different coloured guitar or somehting, just doesnt look quite right maybe like a mirrored (sp) plate like on tom morello's now thats nice
  10. have a look on ebay, usually those custom made guards on ebay can be made from any materials, just e-mail the seller and ask. thomann might have something, or just search on google?!?!
  11. guitar box!!! go to a guitar shop and ask for a box, then just use the usual bubble wrap around the guitar, then in the box, and then usually another bigger guitar box around that. also courier services would be better than using royal mail. something like DHL or city link.
  12. looks cool, looks like you have mega action on them strings, SRV anyone?? how much did it cost you to build? on the new guitar note, i just bought myself a 1992 ibanez PGM300!!! and at a great price, will get some pics when it turns up!
  13. this is my S series, with the old maple top. and it sound awesome, infact i just put a Dimarzio PAF pro in it yesterday and now it sounds even better than awesome. tele are also great, you cant deny it. personally i want this one (james trussart custom) made of folded steel, buried in garden for ages, painted, repainted, reburried, just damn lush! shame they are about $5000 you have any pics eof that effect in the guitar? sounds interesting, ive played guitars with on board effects and pre amps etc. but never really hard of putting a stompbox in a guitar!?!?! sounds interesting
  14. how about if you changed the word GOD for the word Control? or Fear? or replaced the word bible for lies? or any other word? the words we use and the languages we use only mean what they mean because we made them up. and over long periods of time it became what it is now- if you get me. so we now refer the colour which we believe to be red, as red. so what if the way we see red, was actually nothing, or something other than what we all collectively call red. is red actually green? or whoever named red red, what if they called it blurge? is a car actually a house? NO. we know what we think we know, but we still cant prove that an inch is an inch, because it is based on a made up measurment by humans. so the bible cannot be the bible because it was writtewn by humans, even if you believe that GOD told humans exactly what to write, it still cannot be correct because of the ways that words have changed their meanings over time, and through different languages. so what if EVERY human stood up and said God show me a sign. and nothing happened then we could say that god does not exist. and if every human did absolutly nothing untill god performed some kind of miracle that is in no way of a sign through a human. nothing would happen. untill that time i will keep my beliefs that God does not exist, but if that did happen then maybe i may consider changing m,y mind. also showing the wrath of god through an earthquake in that situation does not count. anything that is natural or that can be explained through science (even though everything is based on human measurements) also does not count. i mean waking from the dead, showing himself, buildings getting up and going else where kind of miracles. you get the idea? that milk prayer video=awesome
  15. what!!!! they definetly need to check thier QC. they are generally all well produced, but the finishing on most LP's are just shocking! ive have only played a few, mostly brand new ones and there are flaws with all the guitars. plus you will prodably have to set it up yourself. as again the factory setup is just not good enough. i really hate to say it but its absolutly true. the reason then being, to get a Gibson LP, is because it is a great guitar and they sound awesome. Tomm, i would definetly recomend to stay away from the LP studio, go for the standard, much much nicer. you get much better pickups (burstbuckers are real good) alot better quality, and the detail is also much nicer. then what kind of finish do you want? like the cutom black with gold hardware? or maybe like an iced tea flamed maple top? or even better the desert burts is lush as f**k!! for your £1000 your not going to be able to get a brand new standard, unless you find a bargain. but check out some ebay shops, check the item description if you can go and try it before buying. id say in your situation go second hand. a great great place to start if your willing to travel is denmark street in london, just of oxford street. theres about 15 guitar shops in the same road. all selling brand new and loads of used equip and at good prices. have a look through some of these denmark street hope that helps
  16. fo all those who doubt and want maybe a different light on the answer of jesus, and who he possibly was etc. watch this, it is very long, 29parts split into 11minutes each. some episodes are better than others. but it gives a different impression on how jesus probably did exist, not necessarily in the way the new testament says he did. gives different ideas about who jesus was, and a great story about moses, and the egyptians which seems alot more plausable. jesus was possibly the original creator of everything we know now in the way that shortly after his death a new religeon was formed, along with powers like the illuminati, masons, the vatican, london inner city, and america. its very interesting to watch. getting back to topic anyway, we will never know what is right or wrong, i have been on both sides of the argument as also being bought up in a roman catholic household, went to catholic school etc, chruch all that. and one of the biggest things in my life was being able to break away from all religion. with most of my family and there freinds all looking down on me and trying to convince me i was doing the wrong thing. and at first i just wanted to get away for the sake of it, but then i started to read a little more and looked at other alternatives and realised it was all bollocks to me. i dont need a religion to be happy, or it to guide my life through the ten comandments. with a little common sense you can figure out what is right and wrong. and what i fugured out, is we are all debt slaves. this is such a massive topic to talk about. because it is linked to everything that we know. and even looking back at history, we will never be able to say wether god exists or not, or that america actually blew up its own buildings to get its citizens to support a massive war. or that ultimatley we waste our lives in the created distortions to make us feel individual, to have to compete with one another. everything sucks really. the only thing in my eyes that we could possibly find out, is that god does not exist. and the one way to find that out, is have the vatican admit its all a hoax. we will never really be able to find out if the big bang theory is correct or not. unless one day we can travel back in time, into a space ship that impenitrable. but even thats impossible, because you would have to travel into some space that hasnt been created yet? through the 'big bang' or by 'god' all in all, very confusing post
  17. they are HS33 'D' they were from years back, ive still got an old set in raceline yellow. circa about '99
  18. maybe because its always been there?? or some other life force from trillions of years ago? maybe, we have had many human beings in different times in the earth's life, and the universes life, that everything that we go through has happened thousands of times before, in diffenerent realities etc we are now just (that we know of) the most evolved, most self aware beings that we know of. this does'nt mean that everything has not existed many many times before. and everything is a perception. because we use 'popular' types of measurement, we follow the mean. but how can it be accurate, when we never percieve things to be what they really are, and we can never tell if they actually are, or if they percieve to be what we think they are. and what about all the distorions? a sentence said by one person can have many meanings to others that hear it. but its still each individuals perception of what they think they hear. and untill we can communicate without any of our sences, sight, hearing, feeling, touch, smell and taste, we will not be able to perceieve things for what they really are. confusing, too much to answer and far too much to ask QUESTION EVERYTHING
