  • What the hell?

    What the hell are those on Gavin's guitar?
    I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

    Dude, you like Gavin.

      Could be either mini switches or pick holding tape. THe other guitarist has them on his Strat as well.

        Clarification?

        Looks like they taped off the bottom of the pickups to prevent strings from catching on them. Dime used to do the same to his neck pickups.

          Yeah, pretty sure that's what it is. I guess they have something like the older hotrails without the 'covers' so the strings could get caught underneath the bobbin because of their 'technique'....

          Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see anything redeeming about Bush...

            The dude's banging Gwen Stefani.

            Thank him for keeping her too busy to write more horrible songs.

              Well the reason why I didn't think it was tape was because I thought dime used it because his floyd would dip the strings too low and they would get caught, Gavin does not dive bomb nor does he have a floyd. But I guess I am unfamiliar with this kind of taping because on dimes, it doesnt like come off of the pickup.

                  At first I thought it might have been like some synth type of thing but thats usually that one little weird box, not attatched to the pups.

                    I didn't bother listening but I did look and it looks like they are taped to stop the strings from hanging up. They probably have one song with (a) big dive bombs that it's on there for. Or they thought it would make the guitars look more tortured and in pain.

                      The thing I noticed while watching the video were those things on his shirt.

                      Then I realized they were nipples.

                      The stuff on the guitar looks like gaffer tape to me. Black cloth tape. I have no idea why you would need that with a Strat bridge or Strat single coil (which has a cover) so I'm going to guess it's just for looks... Like Gwen Stefani's career.

                          I don't hate Gwen but her voice is kind of like cats fucking in a helium chamber.

                            WTF dood. I did not say I hate her. I just implied she's a talentless piece of eye-candy.
