Thread: An exceptionally vain request.

  1. #11
    Yes, Gav's right, if we only get 6 entries, I think it will be fine if some people want to enter two guitars. However, if we get more than 8, then I would encourage people to consider entering just the one. SO, pick one to enter and, if we are short, chuck the other one into the mix.

    Also, you might want to wait to hear who the judge is. For instance, this month we're hoping for a big name from mid 90's US Rock/Metal, so you might want to tailor your entry to suit that style.
    Cheers,

    Hmmm... That bodes well for the 7string...

    And I think I can guess the judge too...

    One vote here for the IB-7!

    Mainly because it's right up my alley and I also own an Ibanez RG 7 string, but the finish is looking great in the build thread too.

    It's very close to call, four for the IB-7 and five for the PGB-2....

    Coin toss in order, methinks...

    Hi Bass Guy,
    since I sat on the fence before I knew the judge may be a 90's US rock/metal guitarist I would favour the IB7, so that evens up the votes 5 each if you counted my vote as a no vote.
    So up to you, sure he would still dig the PBG2, so a coin toss could be in order

    how do both these axes play, they are both floating trems ? do they keep tune ?

    Righto, I didn't toss a coin but have plumped for the IB-7 purely on the basis that I think it's the first one of its type to be completed. Plus the woodgrain is lovely on it.

    As far as playability goes, they're VERY low action (befitting the genre) and the hardware on the trems are a little stiff. However these are not insurmountable issues. The neck on the IB-7 is noticeably wider than the PBG-2, and it does take some adjustment.

    Sonically, WOW!! Djent Central! Djentral!!
