The strangest GAS I've ever had

Derek S · August 28th, 2008, 12:32 AM

I don't play metal, I don't usually listen to metal. I never gassed over a pointy monstrosity. But ever since I saw one in a catalog a few weeks ago, I'm gassing heavy....Ibanez Xiphos. Feeling kind of weird....

Rocks · August 28th, 2008, 12:50 AM

you'll poke your eye out....

bendecaster · August 28th, 2008, 12:54 AM

...or impale your bassist

Rombel · August 28th, 2008, 12:56 AM

Yeah, it's all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.

(although I've known a few bassists that deserved impaling).

PK · August 28th, 2008, 01:32 AM

I for one totally get it! Can you say "UFO" or Scorpions? Shred rock has it's place, and those guys have been breaking sonic ground the last few decades.... Go for it!! :) I've been lusting after a korina & flying V :)

You mean 1001 different 'distortion' tones right ?

Sorry, but thats almost the equivalent to the guitar version of 'cookie monster vocals' isn't it ? (IMHO of course).

Derek S, get a new catalouge !!

eddiewagner · August 28th, 2008, 05:37 AM

yes, this is a strange gas. ignore it and it will go away.

hondo76 · August 28th, 2008, 06:01 AM

Careful "pointy guitars" are a drug a VERY addictive drug!!!

Rocks · August 28th, 2008, 09:48 AM

I suggest trying some Bean-o

Tele Fan · August 28th, 2008, 09:54 AM

That usually happens to me after Indy's chicken.

Ptrallan01 · August 28th, 2008, 09:56 AM

been in an accident that effected your head, a concusion maybe?

RickG501 · August 28th, 2008, 09:58 AM

Don't run across the stage with one of those, you really could lose an eye, or even a bandmate....

Doug Ferguson · August 28th, 2008, 09:58 AM

It's not my type, but it's lines are better than most shred head guitars I've seen. The "X" body's kind of cool.

Rocks · August 28th, 2008, 10:05 AM

I can see one of those points going through a speaker cone with one wrong turn on stage. Thats said, being an Ibanez it probably plays like a dream. I don't remember ever picking up an Ibanez that didn't play great.

HoodieMcFoodie · August 28th, 2008, 10:59 AM

I can't see Buckocaster51 making a sparkle copy of one of those...

maestrovert · August 28th, 2008, 11:21 AM

i saw a couple of 'em in Troll Music in Venice Fl last year, both in a Chameleon metallic/fine sparkle finish that was very nicely done....but, nope, they're not for me !

Drunkinminer · August 28th, 2008, 01:45 PM

not my cup of tea either though I've bveen GASsin' for an "normal lookin Ibanez for awhile

mudbean · August 28th, 2008, 02:00 PM

Oh, you mean G.A.S. ...

I had this mental image of an actual visible green cloud emitting from your posterior, that (oddly enough) smelled of lilacs.

That is strange

You SHOULD feel wierd, and ashamed.
There's just no accounting for some folk's taste. Of course, I had a Gibson Corvus, that would rival that, so I understand completely.
