Basically I want a guitar for drop tuning with a thick neck.

Can't really find anything that meets my desired specs that isn't a 24.75" scale length. Even for standard tuning I hate the short scale feel so an answer like "use thicker strings" isn't what I'm after.

I thought Schecter would be ideal as I keep hearing they have thicker necks but after looking at the specs on their site, the thickest I can find at the 1st fret is 20mm or .787” which isn't all that chunky. I assume the LTD H/M/MH aren't particularly thick either as they're listed as "Thin U".

Some possible options but not sure on the necks: Fender Chris Shiflett, Squier (or used Fender) Jim Root, Hagstrom Super Swede.

Any

As said in title, uBlockOrigin is not working anymore on YT, eBay and outlook.com. Was working fine yesterday. This is the Chrome version, Windows 8.1. I also have it on Firefox but it seems to work fine there.

Anyone else here a musician?

As a bassist that plays drums and guitar and also dabbles in recording, I have a huge problem with clutter. So much stuff! - guitars (~10 including basses, electrics and acoustics), multiple amps, pedals, drum gear (2 kits, a bunch of heads, too many cymbals to list and a bunch of hardware) and random mics, headphones, tools, strings and whatever else.

Honestly it's way too much. Really wish I could just burn down my house rather than deal with sorting and selling all this stuff (joking, I think? lol). If I lived in a major city I would have an easier time getting rid of the gear I don't need but my town has a pretty bare used market and to sell the guitars I

Any cheap-ish kits with a kick this size? All I've found is the Pearl Decade Maple. The Mapex Mars has a 24x16 and I'm not a fan of the finish. The next cheapest I've seen is either a Pearl Masters or Mapex Saturn which are double the price.

I would go used but I've honestly never seen a kit show up with a 24" within my price range that wasn't 18" deep.

Needs to cover pretty much all genres from rock, jazz, funk, pop, songwriter (don't need it to play metal or super loud gigs with no PA).

Any ideas?

I'm looking for a coated 1 ply for my bop kit that's a bit more controlled than an Ambassador but not as fat as an Emperor (currently have coated G2's on atm). Thinking about getting a coated C.S for the toms but I've never seen these used on toms, only snares. There's plenty of examples of clear black dots on toms but basically none for the coated version. Why?

Was looking at some videos of jazz rides and came across T-Cymbals' La Pasion Turca series. Here's a vid, this particular one sounds great and seems to hold it's own against Agop and Bosphorus but am wondering if anyone here has played one in person.

Will there be a new crate to replace the gamescom crate anytime soon?

I found a used Spaun 13" vented snare (wood, probably maple) for a decent price.

Not sure what to expect, from YT vids they seem to be dryer than a normal snare but most of the vids are acrylic so I'm not exactly sure how much of the sound is attributed to the material or the vents (and eq/heads/etc).

Anyone have experience with them in person?
