    No problem! I did get to talk to Syn, fortunately. He was super nice and personable, like the rest of his family. Definitely a great experience!

    I bought the bass used on A7X's Self Titled album

    That’s awesome, I hope to play one sometime soon. Weirdly enough though, I noticed the 5 string version doesnt have the EMG. At least on Johnny’s webstore This was taken at a brewery in Huntington Beach for an event where Johnny released his special beer to tie in with his podcast. That’s just...

    I bought the bass used on A7X's Self Titled album

    I always love to share this kinda stuff on here, i know people are interested in it and we get to have a special look behind the scenes of our favorite albums and songs. I’m not too into exact specs either, but it could give some insight as to what makes it special or why they chose it. Maybe...

    If you look reallllllllllllly closely, you can still see some of JC’s tears on it. Legend has it, he was crying because he should’ve chose guitar instead Yeah dude this thing is nice. This is the nicest bass I own, my others are cheaper/midrange Ibanez and Schecters so it’s a big step up. Ernie...

    I bought the bass used on A7X's Self Titled album

    A slight continuation of my previous thread. I bought the bass that was used on Avenged Sevenfold's self titled "Avenged Sevenfold" album from none other than Fred Archambault who engineered the album and guided the band as they self produced it. It's an Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling 4 HH model...

    Gear used on early A7X albums: The vault of Fred Archambault

    I thought there was a custom with a hardtail, I literally googled "Synyster Gates Custom Hardtail" and the first link to come up was the standard with hardtail -_- If I find a used one for sale for the right price, I'd probably snag one with a hardtail just for the convenience and being able...

    No problem! Fred's place is great, lots of cool things there. Hopefully he'll be on here one way or another soon enough

    No problem! It is kinda weird. The model they have with a hardtail is actually the Syn Standard, not the custom. Here's a link to it: https://www.schecterguitars.com/guitars/synyster-standard-ht-detail The Scorpion is pretty cool. I tried to buy it, but it's not for sale (we'll see about that...

    Most definitely, he would be a great way to kick it off. I'll DM you right now

    Gear used on early A7X albums: The vault of Fred Archambault

    No problem! Fred is amazing, he's very open about everything and happy to share his "secrets". As I'm sure you know, the reality is that engineers and producers rarely get the love and appreciation they deserve so I'm sure he's grateful to have so many people interested in his work which is why...

    Agreed lol the hardtail is weird for a sec. But I kinda like the idea of it since the Floyd can be a real pain sometimes. And it is kinda ironic that the shape became known for Zacky's guitar, also interesting to see how many iterations of that shape there were

    As stated in the original post, there is one more piece of gear that was used that will have its own thread. This comment and the original post will be updated with a link to that thread when it's posted. Edit: Here it is

    This is a Schecter Synyster Gates model that was given to Fred by Brian. What makes this unique is that it has a hardtail bridge, not a Floyd Rose. They now make Syn models with Hardtail bridges, but this was before they were ever publicly released and this has a different bridge than you would...
