Karl Hungus

Sorry about the blurry pics, my hands were shaking with excitement...

OMG A BOX HAS COME:



What's in it I wonder!?



Lets see:



OMG, oldschool Ibanez case!



This is going to be good, lets open her up!



ACCESS DENIED!!!!! :eek:

She's locked Jim, and I don't have the code. :mad:




Tune in next week for the thrilling conclusion, same bat time, same bat channel.

Ok, that seems slightly obsessive... Even moreso than me.

There's another K7 in the Ubox at the moment...

Do me a favour and edit your original reply, we can still wait for people to see the pics.

Damnit, now Fey's gone and ruined the surprise! Ah well...

Voodu Child

Good luck with her though anyway. Im sure youve found the articles on how to pick one of those locks.

It's got to be 6 6 6, is this not a Metal guitar?

Mmmm... let me guess, a flying V perhaps? With a nice flame finish!

Karl Hungus

Ok, it's open.

Pics to follow, sharpish!

Doctor J

Sharpish, eh? Unlike your bleedin pictures!

She's an absolute beauty! Plays magnificently too. I'm a happy Ken, I am.

How many guitars have you got Karl, just out of interest.

This makes number 7! Yay!

Does nothing for me. I'm sure you need another 7 string Floyd wearing, double humbucking guitar

Nice. Post up an updated family photo sometime.

edit : if it was a family, it's probably be the Munsters right?

Doctor J

Wouldn't be my cup of tea but if you have a need for it, fair play.

I might do at some stage.

Ah yeah, had a severe burning need for it alright.

!_Brian_!

Man thats a sweet guitar. Was actuly looking at one of em ages ago when i was buying something new, decided against going for a 7 string in the end when my band changed tunings tho, too much hassle

Do you have something to say? Seriously - I heard all is tunes on myspace - they're out of time, he finger picks lazy minor chord progressions for a crappy "demented" clichéd 80's metal sound. And his soloing sounds sloppy and handicapped - like he just learnt his first melodic minor scale and is practicing it over some textbook dorian progression. Just my opinion.

Hey, ease up there - i dont see Karl claiming to be a brilliant guitar player anywhere. Everyone goes through a beginners period, lighten up...

I agree - he's not a brilliant guitar player - he's more of a guitar collector at this stage.

Karl Hungus

Thanks for your criticisms Larry, but you failed to mention that I hit some pretty sour notes aswell and was totally out of key at times.

Can't really think of a good reason to bother offering that opinion tbh. It just comes across like you're jealous that he owns more guitars than you.

Yeah - you're good. A bit 'early Greg Howe' sounding (progression-wise, but nowhere near the same musical knowledge or versatility) - but it rocks, and is tight enough.

Nah, the initial moment of despair when I realised I couldn't open the case was the worst.

Nice one, KH! Congrats...:)

(I lost count how many times I said congrats to all you bastards this year...:( )

Edit: By the way, Larry David, you do not sh1t all over someone's "new baby" thread, it's all about respecting your fellow patients around here.

lol, I've been there. Congrats mate, looks good. Many years of happy chords ahead

Jesus, If I had a long awaited guitar arrive in a case I couldn't open I'd go mad! Probably try to break it open with my teeth.

Voodu Child

I love those cases btw. That plush burgundy velvet stuff...very swanky.

Well, I had been waiting so long for I was starting to freak out, wondering whether or not it got lost. It was such a relief to have it here, I just didn't really care.

Rustar

Most excellent 7-stringer! Might buy one myself someday if I can stop buying basses. Not much into solid black though....although having said that, my next git will probably be black, as I have too many amber-reddish-naturals already. I'm thinking jet black Rickie bass.

Larry David, we are all, every last one of us, at different stages in our learning and experience. Your assessment of KH's playing leads me to believe that you must be a top-level professional guitarist to write such a scathing review of his playing. Or maybe not....would a real professional be backbiting an amateur player like that?

The really important thing is that KH has fun and is excited about the whole music universe, no matter what level he's at.

Be interesting to find out if YOU can actually play. Put up or shut up.

Quattroste

Nice one Karl (again)

Larry, can I call you Larry? Personally I don't care if your a top class guitarist or not. Your an asshole! Your post just proves this, and the fact that you're a very jealous individual.

If you want to criticise someones playing then make it constructive, give tips, encourage or **** OFF!

I'm not a boarder for too long now but that is the first time I have seen such boll0cks from any 1 person.

Karl Hungus

Most of the stuff on my Myspace page is admittedly terrible. If you've read my blog entries on there, you'd see that I state that the music on offer is pretty awful, and I believe there's words to the effect of "I know it's crap, I know it's out of time, but I needed to put some samples up there" so I'd like to think that the few 20 second or so clips I've up there aren't all that representative of my playing. They're months old clips anyway.

Hopefully if I get around to recording something more serious, you may critique away.

Anyway, thanks Rustar. The finish of the K-7 looks very different in person than it does in pictures. It's called "Firespark Blue" but it's almost purple. I really love the colour, looks dead swish.

Doctor J

Wait a minute, I thought we were slagging his photography skills, some people on this forum actually play guitar too?

Mach schnell mit der good pics man... sharpish

feylya

There is to be no playing! Guitars are for looking at only!

Doctor J

And hanging on walls, maybe in a den or a snooker room, yah?

magpie

I'm thinking jet black Rickie bass.

You know it makes sense

feylya

Perhaps. A dedicated guitar viewing room would be best

Used for teh winnars!

The guy I got mine from took ridiculously good care of it, I can't find a scratch anywhere, so she's as good as newly purchased, but at a fraction of the cost!
