Sunday GAS Party (secret santees.....be stalked here)

[Chankgeez]

I was gonna say "you should make an offer", but I just looked and he's not accepting offers. Definitely needs a little work to get it playin' nicely. It'll probably be a little more than $25 shipping to Aus as well.

Ouch… gonna needs some new frets too:

[Iommic Pope]

Yeah I just saw a YouTube vid with a museum quality purple one, so now I know that they're out there I don't mind digging.
To be honest I couldn't be bothered paying most of the cost of the guit again to ship a beater.
That Violet must be Royal and Virginal.

Also, ibanez reps happening across this thread, reissue that colour, and consider more retro styled guitars in your line up. Thank you.

[D.o.S.]

Careful. Last time they read that we got the Jet King.

[Iommic Pope]

I didn't play one but I heard they weren't the worst thing ever?
Half of what Ibanez do is fucking amazeballs and then the other half could be lit on fire and never spoken of again.
They need to get into doing Japan made "master built" series of shit like Fender Japan do.
Just like superb build quality and finish with options that are not run of the mill.
And cool paint options.

I love my Korean built Iceman but I can't help but think if they made the same thing in Japizzle and turned it up a notch I'd never even think about buying another guitar again.

So in short, revive the roadstar & other lost treasures, weird pickup options (jap p90s, lipsticks and gold foils anyone), Japanese built, funky retro paint, quality woods.

Hehe, quality woods.

[Iommic Pope]

In other words, Ibanez could fucking own the doomgaze/post-hesh market if they just followed my simple plan.
I expect a cheque and the appropriate paperwork lining out the legalities of royalties and my ongoing position as a design consultant in the mail.
Ibanez reps PM me for deets.

I want a version of the old Omar Rodriguez Lopez Signature in that color.

...Or the new Tosin Abasi Signature, I don't know why I find that model so interesting.

[psychic vampire.]

Iommic, I love your idea almost solely because i just want more doomgaze to exist in general. It could almost convince me to continue being a bass player. Anyone on the west coast into doomgaze and gay stuff need a bassist? Or a Synth-Bassist?

[Inconuucl]

The world needs more gay doomgaze.

[D.o.S.]

The OG Jet King looked cool but it was basswood and sounded like it (in a bad way).

[D.o.S.]

TONEWOODS

Basswood doesn't have to suck but usually it does.

That would be hot.
And yeah that sig is pretty cool.

We should find someone to play drums and Internet collab it.

The world needs more gay doomgaze.

Could totally bridge the gap between the trans community and the white male hetero idocracy through the power of slowness and reverbed fvzz.

Hell, if we found someone more interested in playing bass i could do Doomgaze drum machine and samplers?
Or even try singing.
I'm not sure they're two worlds meant to be bridged, but if they ever did come close, it's probably already in the world of coding. I only recently figured out why it's a trope that trans women are coders (work from home, independent contracting, high demand job market).

The world needs more gay doomgaze.

Firmly agreed. There's some queer blackened sludge in the bands Vile Creature and Ragana. I saw Divide and Dissolve this summer and they were fun. And loud. And noisy. Haven't given their recordings a fair listen yet. Vastum is something like a queer death metal band, i gather. More gay/queer/trans/whatever metal, though, please and thank you.

[goroth]

Vastum fucking rules.

So filthy.

[psychic vampire.]

Vastum is fucking amazing.

[Disarm D'arcy]

How do you distinguish "gay" metal from "straight" metal? Is the sexual / gender orientation of participating musicians any relevant when defining musical genres?
