Jarrett Forza 2007 is an American made guitar and was influenced by a number of classic models, not only for its contemporary good looks but also for its range of tonal capacities. 4A ONE-PIECE quilt solid maple top. A 335-like center block construction and neck carve are paired with a 25.5" scale and 24 frets for a bright, crisp tone. Body is constructed of prima vera, or "white mahogany," with a maple cap. The foundation is rounded out with a fast, trim 3 piece laminated maple neck for strength (no scarfe joint) and a macassar ebony fingerboard for brightness. Seymour Duncan Custom Shop Jarrettbuckers (their own proprietary wind) String through the body offers a fuller sustain. ABR-1 style bridge. Graph Tech piezo system. Ghost pre amp, individual piezo saddles, 3 way mini toggle, stereo jack. Plenty of horsepower, minimal string quack and best of all, NO FEEDBACK. Play the acoustic alone or meld it with the Seymours for a fuller, richer tone. Schaller 5 way Superswitch, humbucker / single coil /in-out of phase. Graph-Tech Tusq nut. Original Jarrett harshell case. Next to dead mint!

My friend came over the other day said he had found some trashed

guitars on the industrial yard he lives at.He said "well thought I

might be able to use them for parts."So I stroll out to his truck in

the rain and pull out 2 trashed guitar cases soaking wet.well the

first case contained a completely trashed classical with the

fretboard coming off.It was a cheapie so in the dumpster it

went.But in the second case was this 12 string completly nasty

with dirt all over it but everything was intact.I looked down the

neck and it was majorly bowed back.So for the hell of it I took the

guitar in the house to see if some idiot had cranked the truss rod

down.I loosened the it quite a bit and set it in the corner to give it

time to destress.the next morning i couldent believe it the neck

was strait I cleaned it up gave it a minor ajustment and

new strings.under all that dirt was a decent finish 2.So ya never know what could be under all the dirt!!



Im amazed it plays pretty good.anyone know about these?

after all the crap talking dave cumstain had to say bout him all these years now junior is back.

dood from white lion must have gotten fired like everyone else does in that band.

So I might get my first string through guitar and I want to know something: is there anything you would need to adjust on the guitar to change the tuning? I play guitars with floyds and I know you have to set it up different to tune different which is a pain in my @ss.

Soo, I'm gonna tell you guys a little story of my experience at Sam Ash in NYC.


First off, I want to say that the stock there is INCREDIBLE. Ibanez Prestiges, a couple USA Deans, USA Jacksons, Charvel San Dimas in almost all the colors they already discontinued, limited edition Gibsons, etc. the list goes on and on.

So I told myself that I'd play my dream guitar which was on the floor... a trans-brazilia Lost 100 Dean ML.

So I asked some guy passing by who had an I.D. on, to unlock it from the stand for me. Doesn't act too friendly, just asks if I want an amp. He then proceeds to take me to a Fender tube amp, where of course he switches both switches on right away without giving it at LEAST a few seconds to warm up, but I keep my mouth #$%@. Then I grab my pick from my pocket, and start playing Cemetery Gates. The cleans were amazing, and the feel of the neck on the Lost 100 was AWESOME. Very soft V neck. While I was playing I was looking at the back of the headstock and saw it read 77 00010 or something to that effect. It was however, #10.

So then, I decide to switch it into distortion. Not knowing much about Fender amps, I get up to look at the amp to see how to switch the channel, only to have the same guy who unlocked the guitar for me, come up and #$%@ the amp off. He then goes "Pfft" and walks away.

I was really tempted to say something, but I didn't for the risk of getting straight up thrown out of the store. The dude dressed like a fag with one of those hats that old men wear, and a scarf on top of a frippin turtle neck sweater.

I swear, they might have some nice stuff there, but the employees are dicks!


So that's my story.

The end.

Same scale, but one guitar with jumbo - and the other guitar with x-jumbo frets.
Is there any difference?

i found a used 5150 212 combo local. i havent went to look at it yet but the guy said he just put new tubes in it. im not familiar with tube amps but ive been looking to purchase one and for a 212 60 watt amp its fairly affordable for me. what is a good price for these or what do they usually go for? and how is the reliability of em? he is asking 475 for it. thanks

Okay, help a recovering bassist out

At 01:48 and 02:02 (2nd verse) you can hear him hit a harmonic..., while in rings for about a second, it sounds like he strikes it again making it kinda "gurgle".

IMHO, it's too subtle an effect to done by flicking a floyd bar:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oiLT7ke3o4



Oh yeah, if anyone knows what effect is on the bass when it comes in at 00:16..., I've never used many effects on my bass save for some chorus and OD.

What do people think of these?? we have just become a main uk dealer for them and would love to hear some feedback about them

i want a jr so i have enough balls for a small gig if needed and its plenty loud for practice with the band however i dont know which one to get. im for sure getting a 50 watt but should i get the rev jr pro or the krankenstein jr. both are sick and i just cant decide. it will be run through a 2x12(probably mesa rectifier 2x12). im looking for a great death metal tone(similar to arch enemy). which one? im leaning towards the rev cause in the days before randall michael used a rev+. Thoughts?

Massive ML Pron Thread. We all like solteros, dont get me wrong but i LOVE ML's! Post any pics of any ML you want, yours or not.

Hey guys just thot i might share with yall that i just won an auction for .01 more than the startin bid price. The guitar is about 1300 ish new so i feel pretty lucky considerin the seller claims its in mint condition. I wont say what it is but i will say its got an amazin quiltop and its red....

Edit: forgot to state the startin bid price which was 799.00

How the %$#@! does one pull off a windmill like him?

by far the weirdest band i've ever heard! yet, in a very very weird and awesome way!!! imagine 1930's swing music with hoot nanny hollers, with some jazz influence, mixed in with some boogie, with some latin folk and flamenco and then throw that all with a back bone of metal. weird huh? well...just listen to it and you decided if its cool or weird. kinda like apocalyptica, but weird...

the weirdness of stg. pepper is all over here.

Agile 3000 wide neck profile with case.

It was ordered or the 3rd and it was at my door on the 5th . The shipping box had no sort of protection in it but the guitar was in a case. No damage was done so that's fine.
Came all set up with nice action and in tune.
It plays really really nice and sounds pissa (really good)
Its a small guitar body for me but its nice and heavy at 10lbs and the wide neck is so F-ing sweeet. My HUGE hand hasn't cramped up once all weekend.
I make the guitar look even smaller standing in at 6'4".
The pics didn't pick up the top very well. I should have used a real cam and not the cell phone. I'll take some real shots sometime this week. If I can put this sweet geet down.
Killer guitar at a killer price.

Pronz soon

Hm, I private messaged him around late December, curious about a few models that I'm somewhat interested in. But he never got back to me, and actually never read the PM. It still has the message under "outbox", which means he hasn't read it yet. His last post was on December 15th.

I'm actually interested in ordering a Dean but don't know who to contact since Steve appears to be out of commission. Anyone know what's going on with him, or if he's okay?

I just recently discovered this great band, they are awesome and definately different. Anyone else heard of em?

Well, here she is. Been very busy the last 2 months workin extra and selling 4 guitars.I have found the ultimate guitar......

Hello people, it's beena while since I have been on here, about 6 months or so.So how goes it?

so, yes, i'm stupid, and i've been living under a rock

but i just finished listening to the dark side of the moon for the first time...

and i dont get it. it was an interesting album and all...but to be called the greatest album of all time?

no, i'm not comparing pink floyd, or dark side to albums of today. on its own, i really dont see the mind blowing orgasm that everyone else claims they see and feel.

songs that stuck out as interesting were:
time
great gig in the sky
any color you like

maybe if i listened to it with no expectations what so ever? maybe i over hyped this album..? idk...

I'm just curious.

Washburn Southern Cross

Just thought I should let you guys know, in case you haven't seen, that their is a USA Southern Cross on the Bay.


I've been trying to find a Dimeslime(I miss my old one) and stumbled upon this. It's pretty cool.

I don't know the difference between the BSG Cross and the USA Washburn visual wise, so I dunno if this is legit a USA Washburn

My brother's interested in learning bass guitar. I can borrow a bass guitar from a friend but I don't know of anyone that can loan me a bass amp.

But I do have a Roland Micro Cube laying around my room somewhere. I was wondering if a bass guitar would function properly if I hooked it up to the Micro Cube.

Thanks guys.

I could get a Crate BV120 without the headshell for $100. Good deal? Anyone have one or used one? Thanks for the info guys!

Way over my budget but this speaks well for the charity

Hi all,

I've won this DFH on ebay. NOT paid yet.

Please take a look and tell me the possible reason why this axe doesn't have the circled R on the Dean logo on the headstock.

Worried that it might be a fake.

Certainly doesn't look fake. Got the licensed floyd and the BL pickup.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220550317079#ht_500wt_1182


Thanks

ok quick question. I see classical guitars with nylon strings, but if I put nylon strings on my normal acoustic guitar, would it have the same sound quality? If not, what will it do? Thanks for your answers.

Type O is one of my favorite bands. I've been listening to them a lot lately, and reminding myself how much i love them. I think "Life Is Killing Me" is their best album, followed closely by "Bloody Kisses". And Kenny Hickey is a really underrated guitarist. Great riffs and songwriting.

So howbout you guys? Love em or hate em?

I finished the bias mod today on the 6505+ and wow does it make a huge difference. Especially when played at louder volumes. The camera does not do this tone justice at all. It's as if the sound disperses throughout the room in 5.1 surround. Its clearer, cleaner but with more gain and warmth. The low end thump is out of this world. I may not mod the channel to 5150 specs now. I really love this sound.

This clip sounds muddy but trust me its clear as hell in the room.

So I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with the X2N in my ml. It just doesn't seem to be as high output as it's supposed to. The humbucker from hell I have in the neck is way louder on the clean channel and it has supposedly about half the output. I wired the bridge pickup to the neck pickup's volume pot and vice versa and there was no change so I know it's not a bad pot or solder joint somewhere along the signal chain. I vaguely remember something about measuring the resistance and comparing it to the given specs. Is that it?

My friend was born missing half of his left arm, right below the elbow. He has decided he wants to learn to play Guitar. We need some ideas of how to make this happen! He will play left handed and strum, somehow, with his left arm. I'm thinking about a thin body acoustic, with some type of ??sock/glove?? apparatus on his elbow that will allow him to strum the strings. Any positive input is mucho appreciated! Heck, maybe one of you guys have run across this sorta thing before, or know of somebody in a similar situation. Let's hear ya!

Anyone ever installed one?
I'm thinking of putting one in my Epi, but I may get a new strat style and put one in there. I just don't know much about the install, couldn't find much on youtube. Just some guy with before and afters going that was a bitch but not showing you anything he did.

It was brought to my attention that, like the Buddy Blaze ML, the original Dime From Hell had a top mounted Floyd. Can someone explain why even the USA model DFH's have a recessed Floyd? That can't be an accident, so why the change when people paid for an accurate copy of the original?

So i got my vixen last night.....its amazing!! Sounds awesome looks awesome!! The Paint is sick it very dark red in person and has a lot of flake in it very sparkly!!

HERES PRON!!

Well, I've been talking about them for the last month, sold my 5150 last weekend, and I finally got my first MARSHALL!

I'll post pics in a second, I'm too happy to take pics and upload them right now LOL. I want to mess around with the amp a little bit.


I scored the ENTIRE amp, a DSL 100 + a 1960B cab, in good condition for $850! The head is a 2004, and the original owner told me that the head only had 20 hours of play time on it, so the tubes are still good. For the price though, I can always get new tubes and rebias it, so who knows.

Then, the cabinet is a 1960B, a 2007. It's kind of dirty, with what looks like... candlewax, on the grille clothe. I'm pretty sure in can get it out though, which is good. Minor rip in the tolex on one of the corners, barely noticable. It has caster too!


Now, to mess with the settings. It took me 1 and a half hours to go through NYC from NJ to Long Island, but it was worth the drive. I got home late last night, and had to sit through school knowing that my amp was at home just waiting to be played.


EDIT: Sooo, you've waited long enough! Pron!

Sorry, bad quality pics, I hate using flash and the camera is about 6 years old.














Video coming soon.

I got the Dunlop KH-95 Kirk Hammett Signature CryBaby into today. I've been playing it for about an hour now, and it's great, the best wah that Dunlop has out right now imo. Has a really smooth sound to it, and stomps all over the Orginal CryBaby. Enjoy the pron below.

For my next Vixen.
Think I'll do it in a poll.
Tell me the ones you think would look killer.

A lot of low end was lost in the recordings, other than that this is pretty much what my rig sounds like right now.

Mesa Studio Preamp
Furman PQ4
TC G-Major (just some chorus on the clean sample)
Mesa 50/50
JCM 800 cab with Celestion G12l-35's
212 with Eminence Governors

Recorded with a Shure SM57 into Guitar Rig Session I/O into Cubase LE4.

Any questions, comments, suggestions?

Edit: the sad but true clip is an old one where I used the X2 I had...

I got this yesterday and actually deleted the thread pretty quick, because I figured this guitar would be on its way out w/ the Vixen. but, since that no longer needs to happen - on w/ the NGD thread!

this is not my first LTD, but it is my first LTD V. I really like it so far - it plays amazingly well. its a little beat up, but nothing too terrible. I traded some misc pedals, etc for this w/ a Coffin Case. totally worth it! I plan to replace the pickups and the Floyd Rose as well - both have seen better days. not a fan of the EMG-HZ but they do not sound terrible, just not my bag. never owned a pair of passive EMGs before. all in all I am very satisfied! most of the guitars I have owned have been set or neck-thru construction, but I am liking the bolt-on just fine. happy new guitar day to me!










Pointy Family:

since it's mah birthday i decided to treat myself to a new set of pickups for my Ibanez S7420. i got the Dimarzio Crunch Lab/Liquifire 7 set!!!!! i can't wait to get these bad ass boys in!!!!!

HOLY CRAP!
the new Overkill album is really frippin good! best thing they've done since Horrorscope.
it's got a classic old school vibe. almost more NWOBHM than thrash.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsOwIXgHLwU

All I can think of is Tool or some Rush.

i have a solid state randall amp and im messing around with the gain/treb/bass/mid settings what is a good setting to use for metal. i tried the scoping the mids out but its just not my thing. any suggestions?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktQfK3Jo-zk

Check this out! I really dig it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7bAuzNTIBs&feature=player_embedded

Since this isnt a tribute, i didnt post it in the tribute area beacuse i really dont wanna get b*tched at. So, does anyone have pictures of this guitar? I have never really seen one and I cant find any pictures of it online.

were can i find them besides the dean site?

I've got two guitars that I want to replace the pickups in:

Alder Strat - Can either go.. 3 SC, 1hum 2 single or 2 hum...

All Mahogany Neck through - 2 humbucker...

I want each of this to have a really fluid yet clear neo-classical tone.. Kind of like a "Cleaner" distorted tone.

I dont want anything muddy.. but nothing harsh either.
Just a sound that will cut through the mix.

I'm a big fan of Jason Becker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Tony MacAlpine, Vinnie Moore, Joe Stump,...

I've been considering...

X2n, Tone Zone, Double Whammy... Bridge Humbuckers.

Air norton, Tone Zone, Paf Pro Neck Buckers...

Hs-3/Hs-4 Neck Position singles?
