JTG, I can't believe I remember it right... But the Infinity guitars have very little online press, which means when I can scan, I better SCAN some pix for the Net here, everyone wants to see these at some point, and access is key
Here's a guy who YT his Infinity guitar;
In the band video from Molly Hatchet's Satisfied Man, you can see one of the better versions, dual humbuckers and a nice wood veneer it looks like;
Good pics here, but not the best version. I owned a Washburn HM 20V, many shots show off the cheaper 10V, which is really a step down and I'd prefer the better DELUXE model, in the Infinity case, that would be one with humbucker over single coil, and I suspect, set neck or neck through
Lately I've been trying to learn some shredding-type techniques (or whatever you want to call it), something like this or this. However, whenever I try to tap at the fretboard (at all, really), it doesn't seem to come out that loud. Does anyone have any tips?
There's 2 schools of tap bro, Rhoads style and EVH style. Both get the job done but different approach. Rhoads style u use the pick to tap the string at a certain note, make sure yur hittin the pick on the fret or yur outta tune. EVH style u use yur finger to tap the string this time above the fret like when u regularly fret notes but what u then do with yur pick hand finger yur tappin with u quickly push the string down and let it snap back on its own. There's also usin yur finger nail to emulate the Rhoads style but they all get the job done and some sound slightly different than the rest. Experiment and see what yea dig, there's a assload of vids on YouTube about it. Check out Reb Beach he's a 80's guy that never got cred but slams it hard.

Nothing against Rhoads, but I definitely think I'm looking for more of an EVH style.

I've got an itch for a Fiesta Red Stratocaster with Maple Fretboard. Probably because I've been listening to (and playing) a lot of Hank Marvin material. I must say that picking whilst holding the Tremolo arm is quite tricky... but you can get a nice dreamy sound.
Only around £280, which is cracking good value. Then again, it is a Squier Classic Vibe. As some may know, I'm very much a fan of that range.
I don't think I posted this before but if I did apologies.
Ibanez RG7321 played through a Boss micro BR. It's an affordable setup to say the least but I'll be damned if the Ibanez hasn't become my go to guitar recently. Lovely smooth flat fast neck and not at all fat for a 7 string. Needs some Bareknuckle Aftermath pick ups though and I'll be content.

Both are equally cool I use both, it depends on what to song/solo calls for. Try out everythin and find what yea like and stick with it bro.

Classic vibe and vintage modified Squiers are brilliant value for money, especially the basses. I had a VM Jazz Bass for a short while, it's just 100% maple bass porn.

Amen to that. They are class acts for not a lot of money. Way, way better than the regular squire range. I would recommend then to anyone, beginner or experienced. In fact I have gone on about them before in this very topic a few times before.
In other news, I picked up a new Ashdown FiveFifteen Mini-stack today. 2x10 cab, 100w head. Sounds very good. Its a bass amp (obviously) but I plan to play both bass and guitar though it. Great fat jazz and blues sounds with the LesP and cranks nicely with a pedal for more rockin sounds. I'm totally stoked with it. Heres pics....

Like I said; I'm a big fan. See a few pages back, where I talk about my CV 50's Tele and how much I like it, before I go on to recommend it to others!

As would I.
And I ended up buying that Fiesta Red Classic Vibe Strat. Wonderful, although I need to adjust the Trem on it. I like mine to "float" a bit, so I don't have to press too hard on the whammy bar to use the system.

Yeah, my Fender Classic Player 60s Strat, in Sonic Blue. Still love that thing, but I wanted a Strat with a Maple fretboard to even the balance; as nearly all of my guitars have Rosewood fretboards. There's a little inkling of tonal difference between the two I really like.
I love the classic vibe series too, I'm thinking of getting a 50's classic vibe Precision bass. This beauty is only £319, it looks and sounds stunning!
can you guys give me some tips or advice for dialling in please? i'll be mainly playing in Drop D and Standard, a mix of Punk and Pop-punk and shinedown like stuff.

Depends what kind of tone you're after. Want a thin, cutting tone? Bass and mids set low and treble up high. Something akin to Greenday? Whack the bass up, everything else about half way. Best thing to do is experiment.

thanks, i wanted a sound similar to early greenday, so i'll try the bass high and everything else midrange.
@Kingmystery the SG is a decent punk guitar, i used to use one, but i switched to stratocaster.

Well, I'm kind of looking for that fine line between hardcore and pop-punk. Sort of Green Day-ish, I suppose, but closer to their earlier stuff.
