Souvenir Gamescom2017 t-shirt

 

ESP EC-1000

the EMG's are swapped for a pair of Seymor Duncan Vintage Blue's and it also has a micro boost fitted.

 

Boo.

Why u no buy extended range for extra chug

 

Stealth Vaping is soooo last year, in your face LED's is where the kool kats are now.

 

...

 

Oh god, you're not one those pretentious "look at me, I Vape!" hipsters, are you? I was literally close to breaking some heads in the bar of a theatre a few months back because a group of spanners who felt the need to blow clouds of various flavour smoke over the entire after show party we were at. I fully get (and support) people vaping to get off the smokes, but using it as fashion accessory or status symbol just drives me up the wall...

 

Kids' shoes, two pairs (one girly, one boyish).

 

6 strings good, 7 strings (or 8!) bad.

And



Oh yeah, and



The block and back plate I use are almost all paste, not thermal pads. Better I would imagine, but at least supply something. Ah well, it was only £4.99 but damn, the amount of times I've said "It's only £30" or "it's only a tenner" during this build has been nuts. Going to try and avoid full on water in the future. You start out with a budget and it just gets blown to smithereens very very quickly.

 

8 bad, becuase you end up only using 2 strings and about 4 frets.

7 is where its at. Cos chug. Not Djent.

 

Assuming you are referring to the fact its only a 6 string. I have never tried a 7, I might do one day but not for now. the current project im working on is fine with this beast.

It is the first 24 fret i have had so I am happy about that.

 

Anything more than 6 strings I personally consider a waste of time. Drop tuning is there for a reason people! Though I wish I still had my Schecter Omen 6 I'm stuck with a les paul stagg... granted still good for a cheap guitar brand!

 

That's why when I do water, even in this age of superfluous rotary/angle/compression fittings, I stick with good old 7/16" tubing on 1/2" barbs. What some people spend on fittings alone, I can cover the cost of a block and rad... It's all Bitspower's fault, they are the "FAST CAR" of watercooling.

 

The BP stuff was very cheap. £2.49 each. I got 12 for a total of £29.88 which is not bad. Even the 45 deg and so on were only like £3.99 each (OCUK look like they are clearing out). The hose is only 11mm OD too. 8/11 but the stuff I got is a bit crap lol. It's just all of these things that add up slowly. £1.99 for a pass through here, £3.99 for a rotary there. I have used a lot of fittings in this to try and make the hoses look nice instead of looking like turd. I like flexible hoses more. They look more organic, but if you are turning say 90 degrees they look crap or they kink.
