Tuna Ghost: Pratt knot hero

Tell me that's not the most badass sea-foam green American Strat Plus you've ever seen. You can't. Note the lace sensors, set against the white pickguard. The maple neck is a nice touch as well. You may notice a very heavy gauge bottom E string, perfect for stoner/sludge/drone metal.

If anyone tells you sea-foam green can't rock out, you tell them I said to go fuck themselves.

This is the monster I play through. It's not very large, but it will eff you up. Kind of like a badger or the smaller apes. Right now it needs some work done, but after it's repaired it will shake down my entire apartment building and make all my neighbors pray for my death, which is certainly metal enough for me. Also, being a fifties Ampeg reissue, there's an accordian jack in case I met an accordian player. Good to be prepared, I guess.

Wadda ya got, Barbelith. I'm calling you out.

And the Sunn amp is there for what? Decoration?

That ain't no amp is it? Looks like speakers to me.

Dude, I've played through a Sunn amp. Trust me: decoration was about all it was good for.

The Sunns (we've got two of them) are for our PA system... a long time ago, I tried using one of them with a Marshall head, and, well, no.

Dude, I've played through a Sunn amp. Trust me: decoration was about all it was good for.

I've heard this before--unless you're measuring quality in terms of decibel level, Sunn isn't the way to go.

At any rate, having sold half my equipment to fund a trip overseas, I'm left with only a couple guitars and one decent amp. Thankfully, that strat is very lovely. I still miss my Casino though. Very dark, moody sound.

(not me in the picture) I could never find a way to get rid of the feedback without messing up the tone, but I still miss it.

Back when I was in highschool, buying guitars was basically the only thing that motivated me to get a job. Later on in college, I switched my interest to drugs and running around. I should've stuck with guitars, to be honest.

I own this:

... in black, tuned to a Persian scale. Had it for maybe six years now, don't touch it at all because I'm a ridiculous perfectionist and can't not do something to the best of my ability. Still sounds nice.

From left to right; two-and-a-half-tone industrial bell; 18" china; 13" hi-hats; 14" snare and 14" clatterhats; crotales (low octave); 20" bass drum; 18" crash ride; 12" and 14" toms; two unsized gongs (the gongs can be lowered on the stand and laid flat on the toms either way up, giving three different playing positions).

I've never noticed that chain before. For some reason, I think it's that that scares me the most.

Well, that and The Man, obv.

I didn't play it in the flat, only tested out whether the hardware was sufficient to mount it all! Besides, EHO rarely do jack without an investigation and noise monitoring equipment.

I know, I know. A black SG? Hardly original, Tuna. But I've always wanted one, and now I have one, and I'm happy about that.

Going back through the thought process involved, Eldir, it never really occured to me that you'd actually play them. I thought they were playing themselves.

It is, honestly, some freaky shit. When are you going to do the indecent thing and force them on the public? When when when when when when when?

In around ten days/two weeks time at the Joiners. I forget the exact date, I'll let you know...
