Titanium: the perfect material for instrument fittings? | Focus | 0209-11205

There’s no tone control on the Horus-M3 CC, but—while having one would increase the guitar’s versatility—the instrument’s signature sound is very balanced, in general. The highs are not shrill or grating, and there’s a lot of tonal variation available just from manipulating the volume control. Knocking the guitar volume down to 8 tames high-gain tones noticeably. Down at 6, you can go from clean to dirty by varying your pick attack.

Playing in the upper stratosphere of the CC reminded me that while extreme upper-fret ranges are sometimes considered a novelty by the uninitiated, they are ripe with musical potential when used judiciously. Of course, to make extra-high fretting work, playability is a must, and I was amazed that the absolute highest note on the guitar rang true and sustained easily. I was even more surprised that I could bend up a step-and-a-half on that note without fretting out. Impressive.

ROUND TWO: They touch gloves for the second round. Holloway coming forward, lands a bit of a jab. Leg kick from Holloway, that was a hard one. Combination from Holloway lands. They trade punches but Holloway lands to the body as well. Holloway lands another leg kick then a double jab to a right hand. Ortega swings a right to the body, Holloway lands a right to the face. Another right from Holloway, Ortega is trying to shoulder roll but he’s not doing it properly and Holloway is landing on him. Ortega is bleeding form the nose rather badly. More punches from Holloway, Ortega lands a right then a right hook but he’s slowly drowning under this offense from Holloway. Holloway lands a glancing head kick, Ortega is still here and throwing back but he’s out of his depth in a pure striking battle. another leg kick from Holloway then a right hand. Ortega lands a couple of jabs of his own but Holloway is still coming after him. Holloway slips a right and lands an elbow strike. More jabs to the nose from Holloway then a right and he avoids the counters. More rights from Holloway then a left to the body but he ate a right. Ortega lands another right, he’s not going away if nothing else. They clinch and Ortega lands a right as they break. right from Ortega is the last blow of the round.

21 Dec Network Rail has handed out three contracts for the south of England worth up to £7bn over the next five years.

Povich, now 79, sat in his Manhattan office recently and chuckled as he thought back on the game. “It was not really memorable in terms of great plays,” he said. “There were fumbles, it was kind of sloppy. It was never as big as it got to be.”

Roy even feels something like affection when he sees CorruptUSAll yelling about an obscure conspiracy theory involving the Secret Quadrilateral Congress. These are Roy’s coworkers now.

As one of the most experienced in Rumble matches, Perfect held his own against Austin & Triple H. Angle entered to an extremely loud “You Suck!” chant .. even after his music stopped. It turned in to more of a tag team contest as Angle worked Triple H, and Perfect worked Austin without acknowledging each other. Big Show out next, looking as heavy as ever.

Pickup height setting is a little tricky but not a black art. Fender-y single coils have a stronger magnetic pull so need to be backed off, but most humbuckers share one bar magnet and aren’t so strong. So, set the bridge to about 3.5mm and see how it sounds. Just set the neck to match in volume when plugged in, and experiment!

“The sensitive mode was a plus when handling the barriers,” said Howard. “It’s an application where you really need smooth hydraulic response and ample hydraulic power. That mode would be helpful as well on sewer jobs, where you might be spreading stone or handling trench boxes. The machine has a lot of breakout force.”

“Some buckets have a more protruding heel and a large capacity, but can hit the material while digging, and thus cause drag on the machine and excessive wear on the bucket,” says Horton. “The best buckets are those that have the heel that does not stick outside of the tip radius.”

The guitar’s Schaller floating tremolo is a nice piece of hardware, too. It has a FU-Tone brass block for added mass, FU-Tone Titanium string lock insert blocks, and stainless steel saddle-mounting screws. It’s a light-yet-solid-feeling tremolo, with easy-to-maneuver fine tuners that have great sensitivity and range. You get all the dive-bombing ability you’d expect, but the tremolo is set from the factory for extreme pitch-up maneuvers, too. On the 3rd string, I was able to pull up a perfect fourth to C, and could almost make it to C#!
