Hand Choke Neck now endorsed by Halo Guitars.[views:10991][posts:43]___________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 12:23am - powerkok ""] Hand Choke Neck has joined the ranks of Insatanity, Leukorhea, and many others, as Halo guitars of California, has signed HCN to a B contract! Basically, we get a discount on guitars and basses. A pretty big discount. Ive never played or even heard of them before, but they look like decent backup guitars, and possibly a custom would be a good main axe. I will update this post when I actually get my guitar, and let ya know. :NEWHORNS: |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 12:25am - RustedAngel ""] I think every band on earth has been offered this artist deal, I wouldn't even call it an endorsement. If you are endorsed you should be getting FREE shit. |
| _____________________________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 12:29am - Spaldino on a fucking mac... lame ""] i want to be endorsed by ANY bass company... maybe when the Powerglove full length comes out... i will take any free bass as long as its good enough to play and doesnt sound flat as shit. |

| __________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 2:54am - powerkok ""] ya, Ive read good and bad reviews on harmony central....we shall see I guess. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 12,2005 3:43am - blue ""] the good ones are definetly put there by the company. |

| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 4:17am - RichHorror ""] Yeah, I got contacted by Halo two months ago. My initial reaction was "Woah, cool." and then after reading into it my reactonw as "What a bunch of scumbags". |

| ___________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 7:36am - SUBJUGATE ""] i need an endorsment on strings hahahaha i have enough guitars |
| __________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 7:40am - Kalopsia ""] if i recall checking out their site, the dude didn't even have the full specs on his own instruments!!!! i remember seeing "neck width: ?" like, you gotta be kidding me. i didn't even think about talking to these guys for an endorsement |
| ______________________________ [Aug 12,2005 8:34am - nate ""] The 7 string neck though that Ron got plays awesome, has a nice heavy sound to it... and what the fuck, he got the thing dirt cheap, they promote the band at no cost to us so fuck it, we went for it. The only way to get a good endorsement is to start small and than start talking to the bigger companies once you've been dealing with the smaller one's for a while. It was no skin off our backs and like I said the thing sounds awesome. edit: to HCN congrats on doing it and hope you like the sound of the guitar as much as we do. |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 9:43am - anonymous ""] haha you mean the spam message everyone gets? congrats on just emailing them back to get "endorsed" sweet thread. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 10:40am - powerkok ""] thx Nate, me 2. Im lookin foward to it. I dont know why anybody wouldnt go for it, seeing how cheap you can get the guitars. Like Nate said, they promote you for free also, which is better than nothing. So, basically any ppl on here with all the destructive negative crapola to say, arent getting a discount on their Halo. I usually dont even acknowledge anonymous posters, but what spam message are you talking about? Sweet thread? you clicked it, didnt you? |
| _______________________________ [Aug 12,2005 10:50am - nate ""] the spam messages he mentioned is because Halo pretty much sent out something to every band out there... while some considered it spam others, like ourselves, took the info and ran with it. Like I said, fuck it, anything is better than nothing and we've already got people mentioning that that heard about us from them and in turn bought some of our merch...:middlefinger: |
| ________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 10:53am - tyag ""] we conscidered it spam haha... |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 10:58am - Sinislazy ""] nate, could you drop me a line at sgreen @ crosbybenefits . com? I have a questions for you on this. thx |

I just thought it was cool for a company to offer us ANYTHING, seeing how were just an unsigned death metal band from NH. That is all. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 11:36am - largefreakatzero ""] *to be read in an annoying, taunting voice* Ohhhhh, so you guys think you're so greeeaaat now. Big staaaarrrrs with Halo guitaaaaaars. |

I just thought it was cool for a company to offer us ANYTHING, seeing how were just an unsigned death metal band from NH. That is all. good way to put it man, I've toyed with the idea of doing the "B Endorsement" not for the guitars, but to push Shroud to a wider audience. You'll have to let me know how the guitars are, I'm still considering one. |

| ___________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 12:12pm - largefreakatzero ""] Haha, hey we attempted to record last night, but we need fancier drum mics which we will be acquiring shortly. Intially the drums sound wicked pissah. I'll let you know how it turns out. |
| ___________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 12:23pm - powerkok ""] ya sweet, I saw Jeff and Nick last night as they were leaving, they said the brain is poop and they were gonna get new heads and mics...which I think will be better anyway. I think a good mix of mic'd and triggered bass drum will also be cool. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 12:37pm - largefreakatzero ""] I think we're going to trigger the kick (using Joe/Jeff's brain, which doesn't skip) and mic everything else. Yeah. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 12,2005 2:16pm - hoser ""] Well, this is looking better. ESP just contacted me and offered us an endorsement.....I just deleted it....Fucking spammers!!!! |
| ______________________________ [Aug 12,2005 2:55pm - blue ""] i hate to sound like an ass, but halo does spam bands. probably 3/4 of the bands on this board probably got mails from them like 4 or so months ago, i know we did. but there is nothing wrong with cheap guitars though. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 12,2005 2:57pm - nate ""] I'll admit they spammed everyone too... but like you said the guitar was cheap, well made, but cheap in price and it sounds fuckin awesome... |
| ______________________________ [Aug 12,2005 3:01pm - nate ""] ...oops double post... |
| ____________________________________ [Aug 12,2005 6:30pm - anonymous ""] yeah I think they really need the money some of the shittest bands are sponsered by them. |

| ______________________________ [Aug 12,2005 9:30pm - nate ""] I know the shit isn't that high end either but it was something to do for the fuck of it to get the name out farther and it's helped even if it's only been a minute amount... Ron normally plays various Beasts (one of which he bought from Eric Hoffman that was used on Legion I believe) he uses the Kery King V, some other shit too, I have no real idea what I'm talking about anyway, I just bark into the mic and everythings fine with me... hehe |
