What do you guys use to record songs to your computer? I have a mic but I hate the background noise that always ends up on the file.

I know there is software out there that can also help modify songs. I like doing experimental music so something like that could be fun to play with.

Also, I know some people on here have had bass/drums added to their songs, I forget who added bass to one of mine awhile back but can anybody do something like that here?

All I do is play guitar, my songs are instrumental. Any ideas are appreciated.

Ha Ha!

Which should I get, an Ml Noir XT or a VX?

hands on the neck and jamming out some cool tunes. (Yeah that tells a lot!) I think he had an ENGL Fireball combo amp and a Jem - could be wrong. Anyone remember this or have the links still?

Hi folks... it's me... the "milk carton" guy.

I said I would come back to the forum just as soon as hell froze over... and I am back. Man I have not had so much fun here for a long time and I wanted to take a brief moment to thank all of my fellow crazies for making this place the best guitar forum on the internet.

I have been laughing non-stop for the last two days!

This has been so much fun... that just had to take a moment to say....

*grabs handkerchief and blots tears from eyes....*

I love you Dizzy.... yes... I know it sounds strange, but it is a man-man kind of love.... like that Plato dude... not that funny tasting kids modeling clay that is sold in stores in the little yellow cans... but you get what I'm saying... it's a groovy kind of thing baby... you know... like a nice hot bacon shower with jumper cables on your nipples... as free a spring breeze....

*wipes away tears.....*

I forgive you man.

And to all the other great people that keep this circus rolling....

Brave Dave- If that whole Leprechaun deal is a practical joke, it's the funniest one I have ever seen in my life!... ... and if it isn't... it's still one of the funniest pieces of irony and situational humor I have ever experienced. My belly still hurts from laughing so much!....

I love you man...

And Kip is kinda cute too... so don't feel bad about idolizing the guy.

And Ricco...

You are a godsend dude... Since you showed up this place is better than the Seinfeld show. I think I love you man.... I haven't known you for very long.... but I am feeling the love.

And to all the other contributors who make this hands-down the greatest guitar forum in history... I just want to say....

I love you man!

So my Tarot cards tell me I am going to DOA... but the magic 8-ball said "Probably Not"... so I threw it out of the car as I was crossing the I-5 bridge... so it could find a happy home next to the Ouija board that kept telling me repeatedly that I would have breast implants before the end of the year....

I only have one question for you guys....

Silicone or Soy?

Keep the bacon on the fryer and the little bastard gnomes locked up in the attic with grandma where they belong!

Your humble panty-slave....

Ian

So, I picked up the new Family Guy DVD Movie thing and also picked up the Star Wars Clone Wars volume I cartoon DVD. I never had a chance to catch it when it was on TV.

In the time line of things, this appears to be between Episode II and Episode III. Now, are the Clone Wars just the time the Republic was using the Clone Army they received at the end of Episode II? Or, is it the war on the Jedi after the clones received their new orders to elimiate the Jedi. Is it both, or am I not even close here?

translated this from German for the thrash maniacs here!

Metalglory: Tom you are out on tour promoting your new DVD, 4 days, 4 gigs?

Tom: Well it’s not really a tour, the DVD should have been out by now. Unfortunately it has been delayed for the second time. It due now half October. At the gigs we can show a little bit of it though on a big screen with a beamer. All who have seen it seemed very positive about the trailer.

Metalglory: Has something funny been happened sofar so our readers will have something to laugh?

Tom: This tour? No nothing, yeah I had to take a half our s#%t before the gig because of the good food here!

Metalglory: In the hall or in the tourbus?

Tom: It’s prohibited in the tourbus, though……I did that too. Normally you can only piss in the tourbus but hell when I sat down it just came you know, what should I have done?

Metalglory: Is it still important for you guys to play live?

Tom: It’s still fun, but it’s also a job. Nobody likes to play for free, recording CD’s and playing live go hand in hand, the one is not possible without the other. Of course such long tours as in the past, Let me just say 8 weeks with Sepultura or something, are a thing of the past. It’s just not like that anymore, but we play as often as we can….

Metalglory: I read that in 2006 there will be a USA tour.

Tom: True, actually it’s the first time we can actually do a small tour over there. Six, seven shows on the East Coast, New York to Canada. We should have played there a long time ago but something always went wrong. Our first try to do a USA tour was actually in 1987. We already packed our bags when our manager called us and told us the tour would not take place for whatever reason. Now we tried to find a good promoter in the USA while there are many who don’t do a very good job. I don’t really feel like working with unprofessional promoters who only try to raise funds for themselves, the band should also make a little money from the gigs.

Metalglory: How does one find a good promoter overseas?

Tom: Just inquiring with other bands, I have spoken with the guys in DESTRUCTION and KREATOR and one hears with which promoters to work and not to work. Just look at our recent South America tour we did it with a guy named Eduardo, he was unknown without any references but he did a helluva job. Things like this go from mouth to mouth and other bands will now be inclined to work with a guy like that. If a promoter is unprofessional without a doubt you’ll hear it.

Metalglory: Please tell me something about the upcoming Lords of Depravity DVD, what can the fans expect?

Tom: First we have part 1, which has been divided over two discs which covers the complete history from 1982 to 1995 and also contains a recent concert film. Total playing time for this part is almost 5 hours. I don’t want to call names now but they way in which some bands deal with their history is not too stimulating to me. We on the other hand have something to say, we interviewed all ex-members, we have scanned thousands of old photo’s and digitalized tons of old videotapes. Every year in the history of SODOM now has 20 full minutes on the DVD.

Metalglory: That’s a evening filling program then? So you can get a case of beer, get a few friends and watch the movie?

Tom: Absolutely, though SODOM has to be of interest to you. The movie is set up so it is also interesting to non-SODOM fans so they can at leats say “wow, these guys did a good job”. One discovers the background how things started in the early eighties and stuff, or in general how the scene was back then simply because everybody tells their story. This is what makes the scene so great!

Metalglory: That must have been an insane job?

Tom: I think you can hardly imagine, we have shifted tons of old videotapes, catalogized and digitalized em all. Without Ronald (Matthes, Roax Films), who produced it all, it would never have happened. He did it for a relative small amount. With the money we got from the record company we would have been able to record just one show and a bonus interview. Initially the Wacken 2001 show and a small backstage interview were planned for the DVD, and that would have been basically it. But I said to them they should kiss my ass. When we have a medium like a DVD one should exploit all of it’s benefits. Ronald then said to me: “No worries Tom, we will make a SODOM DVD with everything attached, no matter what the record company pays!”. He believed in us and wanted to make it with us, now we have the final product, a DVD which other bands can just dream about, let me just say MOTORHEAD….

Metalglory: Have you seen the new MOTORHEAD DVD?

Tom: Yeah shure, but the history part is next to nothing, the concert is just like any other MOTORHEAD concert. Of course with better production and modern technology. I would love to see a history DVD from MOTORHEAD with rare material and outtakes for collectors, now that would be totally killer! I am glad we did take the DVD that far. Next year the part 2 DVD will come out it will focus on the history from 1995 to 2005 and will also include a tour documentary, which will show you all what it’s really like on tour.

Metalglory: Which tour?

Tom: We filmed the South America tour, but Ronald will also come with us on the North America tour in January. Of course we also want to film some backstage footage there. Everybody always say to us “Cool, you guys go on tour, that must be awesome” but let me tell you it’s NOT! I think it’s cool to give you a view of the real life on a tour. Touring is pretty demanding. Things happen you know, like in South America we had trouble with the crew one of them pulled out a gun and we had the police over and stuff like that. Of course we always hope nothing happens on tour, that would be the best for all of us haha!

Metalglory: “M-16” was a very strong album, it has been some time since though. Is the DVD the reason we haven’t heard anything new from you guys in a while?

Tom: NO man, we have been in the studio like 2 years ago but we were told to stop by the record company. I have no clue for what reason, but with record companies it’s most of the time a monetary reason.

Metalglory: So what’s up with the new material?

Tom: Everything is ready, like I told you we were in the studio but were told to stop, but last year we recorded the drums and guitar tracks. I am occupied now recording the vocals and the bass which is actually just done. I think the complete album will be mixed and mastered in the next 4 weeks, realease date is February or March next year.

Metalglory: SODOM is on SPV and the Onkel Tom stuff on Armageddon…..

Tom: No only the Onkel Tom DVD was on Armageddon. We recorded the Wacken show without any record deal. I don’t gave a %$#@! if only the material would be released. I would never do a Onkel Tom record with Armageddon but I am glad they took the DVD while the recording and editing was awesome it just had to come out. We also want to do a new Onkel Tom Album next year but we have no record deal at the moment. We have tons of killer new songs though and we will self produce the CD. Nowadays it’s better to have a completed product when going to the record companies, then it’s either “take it or leave it!”.

Metalglory: The SODOM line up has been stable now for 8 years, have you either found the perfect line up or does one just become milder with age?

Tom: Yeah true, one does become milder with age right… Well all line up changes in the past had pretty concrete grounds, nothing just happened randomly. You know when Chris Witchunter started cancelling shows we all had to cancel, it just doesn’t work without a drummer. But nowadays we get along togheter again, we don’t clash anymore. Between us everything has been cleared up.

Metalglory: Can you tell me what your favourite SODOM song is?

Tom: No I can’t, I can tell you what my favourite album is though, it has to be “Get What You Deserve”.

Metalglory: Since “Persecution Mania” you always had some german song on the records, but of late these have disappeared, any particular reason?

Tom: Not really, for a German song I have to have a killer idea otherwise I rather not do it. I find it more difficult to write German lyrics as opposed to English. I also think it’s more something for Onkel Tom. Of course I can do it with SODOM too, strange enough all out German songs have become classics. On the next album there will be no German songs BTW.

Metalglory: How do you see yourself, with Onkel Tom you focus on fun themes whereas with SODOM the focus is more on serious actual themes, is it hard to switch?

Tom: Oh well, actually SODOM is pretty funny too, I do all these stupid talking on stage don’t I? Of course our lyrics are more serious but don’t always take it for what it is, we are by far not as “evil” as we might appear. Many bands try to create an image but when you know them privately it’s only acting in the end. The music is very important though, it’s loud and brutal. It’s all Rock ‘n Roll, that is what we do and what we like of course this also goes for the other two members.

Metalglory: There used to be this trilogy SODOM, DESTRUCTION and KREATOR.

Tom: Yeah nowadays we’re the only ones left right?

Metalglory: Well something like that, but seriously do you still have contact with the other bands?

Tom: Shure, two weeks ago I was at the DESTRUCTION release party in the Zeche in Bochum. They invited me, we tru to see each other as much as possible. Same with KREATOR. We played a few shows with them this summer, no problems at all. If there will ever be a tour with all three bands again I don’t know, I’d be all in for it but it seems as Mille has a slightly different opinion.

Metalglory: Shame, that would certainly be the bomb for many thrash fans!

Tom: Yeah I know, but Mille is very succesfull on his own. He had Ektomorf and Hatesphere with him on the recent tour of course that attracts people too. But I would really like to do it again, because in the end we are the three German bands from way back.

Metalglory: Any recent CD’s that have your approval?

Tom: Not really, I did get a few promo’s, Hatesphere was one of them. That one was cool, but apart from that there’s very little new bands that can really excite me. At home I always play the old records again.

Metalglory: Are you more of a Bassplayer or a Vocalist?

Tom: More of a vocalist really, you know, I am not a classical bass player. I can play the bass of course, it has to be groovy. But a true bassist in the sense of the word? No I am not but that’s really no biggie. I am more of a singer/entertainer, in some cases the bass even obstructs me in that way. Many way that Tom without a bass is unthinkable but with Onkel Tom it just works.

Metalglory: You always have these killer looking basses, I used to have a poster in my room with you and your red Ibanez Destroyer bass posing in front of all these pyro’s.

Tom: I still have that one with me but only as a backup. I play a Fernandez now, that one is also pretty old though. I got it for a present in Japan back in 1992. back then it was usual that you got a guitar from some Japanese company after you had played. Nowadays I just play what sounds batter. I have 3 of these old Ibanez Destroyer basses, but of course they are all a little banged up. I should have them repaired and set up properly one of these days when I have some spare money. They were always a little special, Cronos played one, and RAVEN’s John Gallagher, both of them were a huge influence on me.

Metalglory: Ok this was it man, any last words?

Tom: Well, I hope you will all go out and buy the DVD, if you don’t like it I will personally refund your money!

I've found a few little reviews and mentions of people seeing it, but can't find any real information or where it's playing. Anyone have some information?

I have a bad boot of this on DVD and wondering if anyone has a good version or have had the chance to check this concert out? Rik plays his famous white V most of the gig. Great stuff for the Triumph fans out there. Anyone know where to get one of those classic Triumph T-Shirts?

I know i am quite new hear, and i dont know many peoples real names, i would apreciate it if u poted them hear

just to get to know everyone a little better, im Chris by the way

which one do you think i should get? which one has more of a metal crunch but can still be really heavy?

I think I want to try my hand at building a guitar. First off- I'm extremely unqualified for this, but fortunately I have a friend who's willing to help and he's qualified. So I want to start by reading as much info as possible while generating ideas for what I want this thing to look like. This'll help me decide if I want to go through with this.
Books, magazines etc- Any recommendations?
Parts, etc- Where to go? I know about Warmoth (and I know some people here really like their products). Any other places I can look?
Any other recommendations?
Thanks!

These ones are on there way!! I just had to buy them there is NO WHERE in saskatoon that sells these things at A fair price

And this is the one I want to get when I get some cash

I was looking through the Dimebag pics on the dean site, and i came across this.



the blue ML or Z, with a kahler. It looks sick, but i have no idea what it is. Anybody have any idea?

Hey, I'm looking for a good tab or regular sheet music of 5 Minutes Alone by Pantera. If anybody can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.

Does anyone here have one of these?


My friend is looking to buy one but has no information on it since we live here in Montreal Canada there are no stores that carry Deans. (they say they do but they don't)


Any information on it would be great, Thanks.

Just sittin listening to Jerry, makes me feel good.

Jerry is the man

Just wana pay homage

Anybody know how he got that wah in rotten apple with Alice?

LOL! Well, you should sort of get the idea of what I was trying to do.

Okay guys, I just found what appears to be a tropical ML on Ebay. It's neck through, the selector is by all the other knobs, and the headstock matches the body. Also the cuts twoard the neck are different than regular MLs. Is it lagit, would I ever find a 24 fret neck through ML? Is this a good price? Thanks in advance. *edit* would it go down in value if I repainted it? http://cgi.ebay.com/Dean-ML-Neck-Thru-Gibson-ESP-Ibanez-Jackson_W0QQitemZ7355139491QQcategoryZ38075QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Can a whammy pedal be used instead of a whammy bar? I have a stock "79" ML and would like to use this guitar but still get the divebombs and pull up effects.

I understand I could use an MLF but the idea of getting the sounds without the hassle and expense of replacing the guitar would be nice.

Dear fellow forum mebers and Dean devotees:

My conscience weighs heavily upon me for abandoning my brothers for several weeks while seeking out more abrasive forms of toiltet paper and tastier breakfast meats from around the world.... not to mention the community service I must now perform for stealing the human-waste gnomes from the White House lawn... it was a selfish endeavor for which I must pay my debt to society.

In order to make it up to you... I offer an advice column. Please feel free to post your questions... and I will answer them in a way that is as devoid of sensitivity as possible.

Post your questions concerning world events, job issues, relationship troubles and high-fat low-protein diets and I will answer them to the best of my ability.

I'm here for you.

Please post your questions in the form of: "Dear Faust...."

If anyone is looking, there is a U.S.A. Signed Michael Schenker Model sitting in Steve's Music store in Toronto.

Looked cool...

I didn't take it down to try, it was WAY up there

Anyone there at Dean know if you intend to put Floyds on the 79 Series V's & Z's? They currently only come on the ML's right? I would definately buy one.

I've been gone for 2 days and s#%t seems to have gone crazy. Can someone update me on what's going on in the forum...I figured it would be easier then trying to read through every thread...Sorry for the off topic post...

Ok Im wanting to pick up A cheep stack from behringer and Im not sure what head would be best for me! now I play heavy thick Black metal/death metal so I need A stroung heavy BRUTAL distortion

Hi jet ear liefhebbers
I dean have bought jet ear the epana classical CSCR and my bridge sits according to me not good he who me can tell how you must put that or send a blade how those must thank you, however, dre from the Netherlands
sorry for my poor engels

Not a custom Dean though,
I don't have that kind of money

I'm getting body and neck from Warmoth
and I'd like the neck to be as close as the one
on my Vendetta 2.0(except for the 24 frets) and since
I don't find the information I need in the guitarsection
on the mainpage I thought you guys could fill me in

What I need to know is...

The neck shape

I'm not good on judging wether it's a boatneck, a V neck or
some other neck.

edit.
Which fretwire is used ?

Please help.

Hey guys, just like the title says, i wanna put some Dunlop strap-loks on my '79 MLF, cuz i do it to all my guitars...im paranoid about dropping one. Anyways im too scared to just to it because the button on the back is right at the joint and i dont wanna screw that up especially if i have to drill a hole thats a little bigger... any success stories? failures? tips?

...this forum is truly under appreciated. Guys and girls, I don't think we understand what a valuable community we have here. I've read a few complaint threads over the last month and just shrugged it off, but it wasn't until recently that I realized how much better this forum is than ANY other forum out there. I posted a few comments on another board (no names mentioned) yesterday and the responses I got were extremely adolescent. The Dean forum, however, always manages to be helpful in a time of need. There is an overall sense of brotherhood here as well. Although I don't own any Deans, I still feel like I'm a part of the action. I've met a few guys here over the last year or so that I consider to be real friends. Although it's the internet, I know I could call one of these guys up for help if need be. In closing, I just want to say hats off to the Dean line of guitars, the Dean owners, and most of all, to you guys... my forum brothers and sisters.

Well this strat has been lying around for about 7 years in the family, my sister used to play guitar, its a yamaha pacifica, well not anymore, im painting this one my self! i have never painted a guitar before, so wish me luck

This is it so far, tell me what you think, it has a long way to go yet.

Its gonna look like the Dean From Hell when its done, it will be the most bad ass Strat alive

Look at the Pickguard, its a beast!!!!

it will have new pickups in it, and eventually a floyd rose installed into the beast, Muhahaha

Hell yes!!!!!!! its time for an update(4/4/06), and yes it has been a very very long time, sorry. Well here is the guitar with lightning and with the airbrushing around the lightning, it wasnt easy to do, and cut me some slack this is the first guitar i have ever painted and it was done with a really cheap airbrush, please leave me some comments, and tell me if there is anything you think i should change before the clear coats go on, and i know its not that great but tell me what you think?

New update (5/4/06), it was far too cloudy so i dimmed down the Airbrushing and painted some more bolts!!!!!, it looks amazing, tell me what you think. The clear coats are going on soon

Original lightning without airbrushing









Just look at those new bolts!!

Yes... while I was away from the dean forum... another guitar caught my eye.

It is an old flame for me. Back in '99 after the Leprechaun pissed me off and I turned to Jason at Drumcityguitarland in my quest for Custom Jackson and BC Rich guitars, I ended up buying my custom shop 7 string Mockingbird... but there was an Ironbird that I really wanted... but could not afford at the time. I went to look for the Ironbird a few paydays later... and it was gone. I never forgot about the Ironbird... it was always "the one that got away"... or one of the "many that got away"...

Then it appeared on Ebay! The very same one! It is a one-of-a-kind single pickup Ironbird which is hand signed by one of my ultimate guitar heroes... Bernie Rico Sr. (R.I.P.).

This is by far the pointiest guitar I have owned yet... (ha.. wait 'till a Razorback comes my way! )

After waiting six long years... she finally came home to me... my Ironbird.



Mahogany neck through construction with Ebony board, Abalone inlays, flame maple top... and matching headstock cap.











Seeing the signature really made me feel a strong sense of loss... I always wanted to meet Bernie Rico Sr... and he died early of a heart attack a few years ago... I was crushed.

well i got it today and threw a clip together real quick. I first put the bar to the bridge . It was very very chuncky , thick, not really muddy but it was a bit too bassy . So i switched it and it gets a more mid oriented type sound that is more harmonically active . It is also louder . The pickup is pretty powerful and if you are doing the metal thing this pickup kicks nuts (5 pounds of nuts(thats alot of nuts!))

it is a very full thick rich distorted sound . Between this and my fred and norton i can cover a lot of sonic ground .

I'd recommed it .

If you'd like a clip just pm me with your e-mail .

the clip was recorded with a peavey xxl and 2x12 cab loaded with eminence texas heats . The guitar is an ibanez rgt42 that is in dropped d. Yes it is dropped d, it is just real chuncky

http://www.jemsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40526

wow, this thing is hot .

I'm going to be the first person in South Africa to own a Dean and its going to be a Dime-o-flame then I'll show you all how it is to be played.
I'll put a pic on soon and a few links to my studio and my band.
Go to www.Intunerecords.co.za and to www.intunerecords.co.za/sycopedia.
Info will be added shortly to these sites.

Coolness

Any of you tried both of these?
MXR DD-11 - Dime Distortion
MXR M-151 - Double Shot

I'm looking for a nasty rhythm distortion with a lot of crunch.
I love Dime's sound so I looked in to these... I dont even have them here for sale so I would have to buy one from the 'bay.

My point is, soundwise, are they the same?
Are they any good?
Does anyone have a soundclip?

Thanks!

Was up in CT with my fiance this past weekend and got bored so I stopped in a Sam Ash store. Never been in one. (Around here, it's all Mom and Pop stores.) I was fairly impressed. Decent selectiion and their staff were great. I had gone in to browse, but while playing an Ibanez SZ720FM (been dying to play one...love this guitar) through a Peavey XXX, I noticed the head was a little jacked up. The faceplate was slightly off-center, and the tolex was ripped up a bit. I asked a sales guy if it was a used head, and he said no, that it was damaged in shipping. Discussion ensued, and after 20 minutes of haggleing, they offered me the head for $600, and a XXL 4x12 cab for $235. Well I'm thinking it's a good deal, but after considering tax, shipping back home, plus buying their own warranty (since Peavey may not honor fixing the head, since the store shouldn't have accepted it...shipper damaged it.), My gut just told me to hold off. Hopefully I didn't pass up something great, but such is life.

He came down 75 bucks on the axe too, and I really considered that, but I need to thin the herd a bit before I get another one.

So, anyone interested in a cheap XXX, check out Sam Ash in New Haven...95 Amity Rd I believe.

Ok, most everyone has seen Michael's new Dean Signature Models, and his Gibson Vs, with the inverted black/white (painted by Hamer) paint job, some with dots and some with blocks... what else is out there?

I've seen Burny models (cheap looking), Aria (real ugly), and ESP. The ESP is identical to the Gibsons (avail with and without blocks), but I don't know it they're Signature Models or Tributes...

Anyone know what's out there and what's "official?"

Seeing how the original one was pulled, I am puttinga new topic of what we had, we were having fun, and I am sad our work was pulled, But I understand why of course.

But, if all you great guys and gals can put your links back up so we can enjoy the work we were all doing, I know its a pain, but can ya do it for lil ol me????

Here is my original "The Mrs. JammerML Boogie" (with permission from Mr. JammerML)

http://vov.tentenland.net/mp3/mrsJammerMLboogie.mp3

Since Hurricane Ricco buried these, I figured I'd post them again.

The Missus Bass...a big Thanks to N-Turbo for stepping away from the auction on this one. This is an Edge Euro Custom Select. It is by far the nicest of the instruments in the house. The finish is beautiful, but difficult to catch on film. It plays perfectly, and is unique enough(I have never seen this model with the inlay, and finish of this one..) That the missus effectively has a one of a kind. The fretboard is Wenge, and gives a particular brightness and definition to the overall tone of this Bass. It is excellent for slap and pop.




This is my 79 MLF....no introduction needed I'm sure. The flame on this one is fairly nice, and it plays like it's frets are filed down to 1/10,000 of an inch of dead perfect...(sorry couldn't resist)





This is the MLX I own. It is loaded with EMG81/85's, I've done the voltage mod on this one, and I'm running those EMG's at 18 volts currently, debating about 27, we'll see about that first though. It is the low end offering, but I'd put it up against any guitar I've played for overall tonal characteristics. I loves my bolt on pointy!!!!!



And here we have a non-Dean, but a keeper none the less. This is an Aria LP knockoff from the "Lawsuit Era". It is effectively a bolt on Les Paul. It has been dated at 1968, and plays better than most Real Les Pauls I've had the pleasure of playing. Very bluesy tone, and I would suggest anyone looking for a Les Paul take a chance on one of these. they show up on eBay from time to time, and usually at exceptionally good prices. If you do go after one, make sure to look for the ones that have the identical Gibson headstock. they are the good ones comparatively.





And last, and prolly least, if judging by amount of playing time, the Jammer. My first Dean, and for that it will always have a place on my wall, but it is by far the least impressive of my collection.....A refresh is in order me thinks.



I may have nothing on Ian, but I am proud of my little collection.

You decide...

"Typhoon Longwang Washes Away 59 Chinese Soldiers"

Just out of curiosity I was wondering if my fellow Junkies can post pics of thier costumes/decorations/whatever!!

Store bought costumes need not apply

Anybody here bought it? I think it's incredible! one of the best live albums in years!

I just read this review from MSN music though I have not written it it perfectly reflects my thought on the album!

The first thing that hits you about Alive 2 is how terrific it sounds. Opening with "Among the Living," Charlie Benante's drums and the sludgy, churning guitars of Scott Ian and Dan Spitz peel out of the speakers at 4,000 decibels. It's like they're trying to make up for a decade lost. And maybe they are. Alive 2 chronicles a June 3, 2005 show at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ, and features Anthrax's classic lineup reunited for its 20th anniversary. Along with Spitz, Ian, and Benante, that includes Frank Bello on bass and vocalist Joey Belladonna. After "Among the Living" the quintet rumbles through incredibly tight versions of "Caught in a Mosh" and the double-bass-heavy "A.I.R." Anthrax goes all the way back to 1984's Fistful of Metal -- pre-Belladonna -- for "Deathrider," and the dude-heavy crowd greets Persistence of Time's "In My World" with chants of "Joey! Joey! Joey!" The set closes with "Be All End All" and the Judge Dredd tribute "I Am the Law." Fans will note that despite being a solid live album from start to finish -- it a better recording than 2004's Music of Mass Destruction, and the Belladonna-era lineup seems to be getting a thrill out of playing again -- Alive 2 only includes half of a commemorative Dredd drawing. The other half's in the Alive 2 DVD, which expands the song lineup to 13 songs and includes behind-the-scenes footage. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

I just wanted to share with you guys, the first show of doing some of my stuff from the CD coming out soon, at a Fest we did last weekend, so you guys can meet, in a way, my band and crew, and best friends. We hope to do better then a outside camp festival someday, but I gotta start small, and it was awesome.

Here is Nick, my drummer, who is on the album, and has helped put drum tracks out for some DOA members. I love this guy, awesome guy, and John his tech with him.



Next up is Don, our bassist, another awesome guy, very serious too, I dont mess with his ideas, they get all my attention! LOL!




Next is my tech and best friend, Cesar, without him, i would be more of a nutcase then usual. And John, who is a dear friend to the band and drum tech for Nick.




And last, the i d i o t himself! and us BS'ing around the small stage.




Like i said, no big deal, but this instrumental stuff is hard, and we will take any gig we can, LOL!

Thanks Bloyd for the tip. BTW Brian I'm up to 5 Korina guitars now. Life IS Good!

Alright, so I've been playing since about May, and my MLX will be in tomorrow (unless some cruel twist of fate occurs and the UPS truck gets a flat tire), and since I started playing, I have relied 100% on tabs. I need to start learning songs by ear, so what are some easy ones? Thanks!

Okay folks, here's the question of the day:

The house is on fire or the floodwaters are rising. You've got time to only grab one of your guitars and make it to safety.

Which one do you grab?

http://dirtjunior.com/exodus229.jpg

All right every one I have a few live shows coming up with one of my bands anyone got any tips for putting on a good live show?

Just got my ml back from Billy at guitar electronics.He just finished my refret and I have got to say its the best guitar I ever played I am not kidding!!the action is insanely low and the guitar plays like butter!!Plus the intonation is dead on and it holds tune perfectly!!He plained the fretboard true like an arrow!!I never expected it to be this good I am beyond happy im extatic!!!and this guitar has a floyd which i hardly ever see killer action and feel with)I love my ml more than ever better than any other!!man my other guitars r going to be lonely!!!If you want your guitarm to play like god Billy at guitarelectronics.com is the king of luthery!!!

Well, it was waiting for me when I got home from school today. Big thanks to Eddie at Carlino Guitars!!! It arrived in great condition, with only 2 noticable flaws from the factory...BUT WHO CARES? It plays great, sounds great, AWESOME action right out of the box, and it's frackin' beautiful. I've already played this thing at least 3 hours today, and looking forward to about 4 more tomorrow!

But before we get to the porn, a few questions:

1. What should I use to clean the fretboard/neck/body?
2. Does anyone know what strings it ships with from the factory?
3. Is it normal to be INSANELY attracted to an imanimate piece of wood?

Now, for the porn:


I love the grain on this neck!


The kitchen is the only room in my house with good enough lighting for this shot...




Huge friggin' box it came in- half of which was packed with giant bubble wrap- an added bonus!


Headstock...notice the right handed truss rod cover


One of the 2 flaws...but who looks the neck plate anyway?


Second flaw, minor finish crack between the pup and neck...OH WELL

It has a great warm sound on the neck pup, chords come through nice and clean as well. The bridge won't get much use till I get a distortion pedal, but for the 1 or 2 songs I played on it, it sounded great.

Has any one here ever seen or head of a guitar with brass frets before..?? wondering because i bought a custom neck with out reading the description too well ( i know... stupid) the neck is really... really niceit has the perfect preofile.. but it has these brass frets.. and i dont know what to think..

i started dressing them up last night and they seem to be pretty on par with the nickle ones as far as hardness goes...

the luthier who made this neck says tht brass is all he uses because it transmits tone very well... any thoughts..

anybody here use Sonar 2?

Hey my Dean Brothers!

Below is a link to an audio interview with Dean endorser Charlie Wayne that was recently done with Hardrock Haven webzine. They are also doing a cd review of Charlie's new album sometime soon. I have also put a link for you to hear a couple of the songs from his new album "The Best of Charlie Wayne-The Metal Years-1985-2005".

at least for now, I need something I can hook my amp up to the mic jack on my computer with, and get a decent recording...any suggestions?

Ok all you home recorders...time to offer Diz some advice. I want to get a decent set up so I can record some stuff in my basement. Cost isn't a huge factor, I'm willing to spend what's required, but I want something easy to use that produces very high quality results.

So, you guys like Kris that make those great sounding tracks - how about some advice on recording software, mics, mixers and anything else I would need record a full band. I want to be able to record everything - keys, guitars, bass, drums, vocals and eventually have a decent quality recording of a song come out.

Also, how do you usually do it? Do you have the band play as a whole or do you usually record each person one at a time and mix it after.

Is there something that can do this easily, or am I biting of more than I can chew here? The band always plays at my house and I thought it would be nice to record it sometime. Also, because I dabble on each instrument, I thought it would be cool to lay down a track where I play everything.

I need something to do once the boat and bikes get put away!!!!!

I do and i was just wondering if any of you have had high blood pressure and know if there's anything i can do to keep it down...

Good old North Dakota weather. Five days ago it was 91 degrees. Woke up yesterday morning and had 3 feet of snow in the back yard two feet on the level in the street. 4 wheel drives were getting stuck. The trees still had their leaves on so the wet snow stuck and broke off branches and entire trees. No electricity from 6:30 a.m. until 11 p.m. last night. (no problem as I have camp stoves and lanterns) The temp stayed at 32 degrees all day so it wasn't to bad to go out and work.

I thought it would be a good day to practice guitar but, after blowing snow and shoveling for three hours, I can't lift my arms.....getting old!

Good thing is, my second day off from work, still haven't cleared the streets so no way to get there.

No real purpose to this, just had to complain. (still had it better than the hurricane areas)

She showed up yesterday, just in case anyone was wondering where the "good home" was that Kevphol was talking about when he sold his V. I haven't had a chance to really sit down and get a good picture or play the guitar, but she is extremely beautiful and super light. I didn't realize how light until I grabbed my select and 79 to do this pic. You can also see just how much bigger the Series2 headstock is on the 79 vs the Series3 on the Czech and Select.
Lastly, is there a way to tell the year on the Czech models by serial number?

Free To Good Home

So I have this cat.
Actually it's my girlfriend's cat.
Actually we have two, a small gray tabby named T**** that is a blast to
have around, and the "other one".
It's corpulent, bright orange and has medium length hair, so of course to
me it's name has only ever been Fat Bastard.
(I'm not kidding, this cat is obese enough that it's gut leaves it's own
trail in the middle of it's footprints after I vacuum the carpet,
uniformly triangulating the food dish, the litter box, and the hammock it
has steamrollered for itself in my underwear hamper)
Fat Bastard has a problem.
Its very existence revolves solely around consuming anything organic.
I mean anything.

We can't have real plants anymore, not even cactus.
(My girlfriend didn't laugh when I, tired of the green vomit, suggested
Poinsettias)
We have all of the food stored in cupboards that have child locks on them.

Opening the fridge involves holding a broom.
(I'd love to teach the buddy a lesson by trapping it in there for a
little bit, but beyond the cessation of all sexual activity when my
girlfriend finds out, I'm pretty sure this thing is as well-insulated as a
walrus and I'd only open the door and discover carnage, not to mention
fuzzy rage propelling itself to freedom with one of it's signature
exertion farts)
We have a bungee cord holding the lid on the trash can, which also happens
to be attached to the wall to prevent, as my girlfriend calls it,
"accidental tipping".
Ordering pizza involves trapping it in a bedroom, then listening to it
scratch furiously at the door as soon as it gets a whiff of oregano.
It drinks pop.
We can't walk away from the stove while preparing a meal, as even scalding
hot pots and pans have proven no match for it's powerful, powerful lust.
I love bacon, yet it's become contraband since the "incident".
(Which my girlfriend still somehow regards as my fault, as if I encouraged
the frippin thing to snatch sizzling bacon right out of the pan,
headfirst, then tear-ass around the house alternating between muted
howling and ragged, gasping swallows.)
It has, on a number of occasions, snarfed an entire pack of cigarettes.
Christ, this cat has eaten soap that smelled like melon.
It was entertaining at first, playing the "Let's see what we can get in
there" game, but when this frippin beast blew right through wasabi,
jalapenos, mustard, lemons, live grasshoppers, Skittles, and an extra-shot
latte, I got the point.

I'm tired of having to treat simple food items like they're plutonium.
I miss having a bag of chips or a cold pizza on the coffee table while I'm
watching the game.
I'm fed up with having to wait to do laundry because a particularly rank dump has fouled the basement.

Enough is enough.

If you want her, she's yours.
The girlfriend or the cat, it's your call!
(If you choose the cat, you don't even have to get out of the car; I'll just unwrap a
Kraft single and throw it in the backseat.)

Is there any interest from anyone out there in getting a 7 string Cadillac made?I talked with Tony and he told me an order of 24 would have to be filled to do a limited import run since such a guitar has never been made.I know there are still some 7 string guys out there and this would be something really cool and unique to add to your coleection and for less than a grand.....but no excact price can be given until production is set up......PM me if interested so I can start compliling a list.......Thanks

Talk about a lot of description of nothing!

I know it's not about guitars but what the hell

So I felt like I needed to treat myself to something nice, and why not let it be a new guitar. After careful consideration, I opted for the FBD. Steve at BRG was awesome to work with. He helped me in the decision making between the MLF and the FBD by giving me all the info I needed, and I feel I totally made the right choice. 6 days was all it took and it is here. The case is great, the guitar is better. Awesome to look at, neck feels great, sticker is a great tribute. The traction knobs really need to get mentioned too, I can imagine sweating at a gig, and those things coming in pretty handy. The Dimebucker has tons of low end chunk, and the Dime trademark pierce. It's going to take some getting used to just how metal it really is. The neck pup is great for cleans and the higher ups for solos too. Clarity galore. I don't really know what else to say, I couldn't be happier. I need to borrow a camera for porn, but its really nothing you havent seen. Its just an awesome guitar. Thanks again to Steve at BRG for being super friendly and accomadating, and if you don't have a Dean, or just are in the mood to buy yourself something nice, give Steve a call and he will hook you up.

Ways To Annoy Your Public Bathroom Stallmate


1. Stick your open palm under the stall and ask your neighbor, "May I borrow a highlighter?"

2. Say, "Uh oh, I knew I shouldn't put my lips on that."

3. Cheer and clap loudly every time somebody breaks the silence with a bodily function noise.

4. Say, "Hmmm, I've never seen that color before."

5. Drop a marble and say, "Oh s#%t! My glass eye!"

6. Say, "Damn, this water is cold."

7. Grunt and strain real loud for 30 seconds and then drop a cantaloupe into the toilet bowl from a high place, then and sigh loudly.

8. Say, "Now how did that get there?"

9. Say, "Humus. Reminds me of humus."

10. Fill up a large flask with Mountain Dew. Squirt it erratically under the stall walls while yelling, "Whoa! Easy boy!"

11. Say, "Interesting, more sinkers than floaters."

12. Using a small squeeze tube, spread peaunt butter on a wad of toilet paper and drop it under the stall wall. Then say, "Whoops. Could you kick that back over here, please?"

13. Say, "C'mon Mr. Happy! Don't fall asleep on me!"

14. Say, "Boy, that sure looks like a maggot."

15. Say, "Damn, I knew that drain hole was a little too small. Now what am I gonna do?"

16. Play a well-known drum cadence over and over again on your butt cheeks.

17. Before you unroll toilet paper, conspicuously lay down your "Cross-Dressers Anonymous" newsletter on the floor, making it visible to the occupant of the adjacent stall.

18. Lower a small mirror underneath the stall wall and adjust it so you can see your neighbor and say, "Peek-a-boo!"

Went with my girlfriend to GC last night with $300 cash to see what I could see. Looked at the used gear first (naturally) and there wasn't much to pique my interest, so I cruised the store about 10 times looking at amps and guitars and whatnot. I had almost decided to get a keyboard for $199 but decided to sleep on it. On the way out I said "let's take one more look". I never look at the Gibson stuff because it's just too expensive. Well, there on the rack was an '04 Gibson SG Special in the faded brown finish. No marks other than some minor buckle rash, no headstock repairs, no fretwear, nothing. $379. They're $649 new! I see that it's been there since Jul and offer the guy $300 out the door and he takes it! This is not a pic of mine, but it's identical. I only got a few minutes on mine last night but it'll get the full "Lon" treatment tonight after work. Who's a happy camper? Me!

I just bought a lefty Time Capsule Z (Blue Burst) with Dean Z's signature on the back of the headstock. Does he sign all of the time capsules or just certain ones? Curious if this all anything to the exclusiveness of the guitar.

AFN (Armed Forces Network) is showing the Detroit/St Loius game from last night! My Hockey cherry is busted for the year!!! Im stoked!!! Useless post I know, but its a little slice of home and I miss it a BUNCH!!!!

My luthier/guitar tech is going to Florida on business and he wanted to check out the Dean home office, does anyone know the address off hand? I know I have seen it on here at one point but I can't find it. Thanks.

At the moment I have a set of EMG HZ pickups in my guitar (H4 in the neck, H4A in the bridge) and I've ordered a Dimebucker which should be coming next week.

The thing is, I don't have too good of a musical ear, and I was hoping you guys could help me out. Does anyone know what difference this pickup will make? My guitar's an Epiphone Gothic G-400 with a Zoom 505 II effects pedal into a Marshall MG15DFX (I know its pretty crappy, but it's all I have ).

It's just the Dimebucker is supposed to be pretty bad ass and I don't want to waste like 100 Euro on something that is going to sound no different.

I just got the EVO FT off of e-bay and it's nice!!

I want to put in some cream colored pups and was looking at the Bill Lawrence 500's. I was thinking of a 500C or 500R in the neck and a 500L in the bridge position. I don't need the 500XL as I don't do the heavy metal stuff.

Any comments or suggestions?

Here's my new Jagmaster redo - it's candy apple red - a great color for a guitar like this. I made the pickguard from cream/black/cream stock and milled it for only two pickups. It's stocked with DiMarzios - Norton in the bridge and Pro Track in the neck. I never liked the way these pluged straight in so I milled the PG for a regular Strat jack plate - much better IMHO. The single volume is push/pull and sends the neck pickup into parallel mode - (nicer than just cutting a coil ) The bridge is an after market PRS type with a massive brass plate and steel block that I cut 3/16" off of to fit the body. I took a one piece maple neck and shaved the back, rolled the edges and recut the headstock to match an early '60s Jazzmaster. I milled it for the roller nut and sprayed it a matching candy red. Then I leveled, crowned and polished the frets, installed the nut, roller string trees and Grover locking tuners. This has killer action and you can dive bomb all day and it returns to pitch every time. It's one of the slinkiest guitars I've ever built - Hell if I can find roller saddles for it I'll get some - then there'd no friction anywhere on the chain.






The last piece of the puzzle is on its way:



It's going on the pickguard between the pickups - we'll see when it gets here if it works fine and if not then I'll save it for another project.

found this on ebay a few days ago. 1st one i've seen besides the guitarist in cheap trick
tripple neck 12 7 and 6 string. i just wonder after people play it would it cause sever should neck pain

still a nice guitar just not my thing though

If not, check it out. It's a natural scale caused by the oscillation of the guitars strings as you play them. Not your every day double harmonic minor, ball crushing pentatonic scale, but still usefull. Use the scale maybe in a ballad or in the middle of a skull cracking lead for contrast.

Can anyone tell me about the signature USA Schenker V-Pros? Cons? I haven't read any reviews on it, so I'm curious if anyone on this forum has played it. I played the Korean version (Schenker custom v) and admittedly, I was not too impressed with it. The balance was off (too head heavy), thin sounding, and the fret dressing was less than spectacular. I'm hoping the US version is way better.

Is it done.....has anyone seen it.....pic links wanted.

Anyone seen one of these up close?

Please lend some prayers to the family of one of my college buddies.....he had been missing since Sept. 19...I got home last night to a message that his family had found his body not far from home.

I still don't know what happened...don't mind me if I drop out of the loop for a bit.

Finally got this one back together.
Naturally I didn't wait to clean it up again after fixing the hardware, much more important things to do like play it and take pics (Granted the pics could be better if it didn't have mung on it, but my arm is still killing me from the sanding/polishing )




Yes those are the Dean wings, and other than being roatated and squashed a bit, they are accurate to 1/10,000 of an inch!

I don't know if this was already posted... but it is brilliant! Try reading it to yourself with a John Cleese style voice!

Dear Cretins,

I have been an NTL customer since 9th July 2001, when I signed up for your 3-in-one deal for cable TV, cable modem, and telephone. During this three-month period I have encountered inadequacy of service which I had not previously considered possible, as well as ignorance and stupidity of monolithic proportions. Please allow me to provide specific details, so that you can either pursue your professional prerogative, and seek to rectify these difficulties - or more likely (I suspect) so that you can have some entertaining reading material as you while away the working day smoking B&H and drinking vendor-coffee on the bog in your office:

My initial installation was cancelled without warning, resulting in my spending an entire Saturday sitting on my fat arse waiting for your technician to arrive. When he did not arrive, I spent a further 57 minutes listening to your infuriating hold music, and the even more annoying Scottish robot woman telling me to look at your helpful website....HOW?

I alleviated the boredom by playing with my testicles for a few minutes - an activity at which you are no-doubt both familiar and highly adept. The rescheduled installation then took place some two weeks later, although the technician did forget to bring a number of vital tools - such as a drill-bit, and his cerebrum. Two weeks later, my cable modem had still not arrived. After 15 telephone calls over 4 weeks my modem arrived... six weeks after I had requested it, and begun to pay for it.

I estimate your internet server's downtime is roughly 35%... hours between about 6pm -midnight, Mon-Fri, and most of the weekend. I am still waiting for my telephone connection. I have made 9 calls on my mobile to your no-help line, and have been unhelpfully transferred to a variety of disinterested individuals, who are it seems also highly skilled bollock jugglers.

I have been informed that a telephone line is available (and someone
will call me back); that no telephone line is available (and someone will call me back); that I will be transferred to someone who knows whether or not a telephone line is available (and then been cut off); that I will be transferred to someone (and then been redirected to an answer machine informing me that your office is closed); that I will be transferred to someone and then been redirected to the irritating Scottish robot woman...and several other variations on this theme.

Doubtless you are no longer reading this letter, as you have at least a thousand other dissatisfied customers to ignore, and also another one of those crucially important testicle-moments to attend to. Frankly I don't care, it's far more satisfying as a customer to voice my frustrations in print than to shout them at your unending hold music. Forgive me, therefore, if I continue.

I thought BT were sh*t, that they had attained the holy piss-pot of god-awful customer relations, that no-one, anywhere, ever, could be more disinterested, less helpful or more obstructive to delivering service to their customers. That's why I chose NTL, and because, well, there isn't anyone else is there? How surprised I therefore was, when I discovered to my considerable dissatisfaction and disappointment what a useless shower of bastards you truly are. You are sputum-filled pieces of distended rectum incompetents of the highest order.

British Telecom - wankers though they are - shine like brilliant beacons of success, in the filthy puss-filled mire of your seemingly limitless inadequacy. Suffice to say that I have now given up on my futile and foolhardy quest to receive any kind of service from you. I suggest that you cease any potential future attempts to extort payment from me for the services which you have so pointedly and catastrophically failed to deliver - any such activity will be greeted initially with hilarity and disbelief quickly be replaced by derision, and even perhaps bemused rage. I enclose two small deposits, selected with great care from my cats litter tray, as an expression of my utter and complete contempt for both you and your pointless company. I sincerely hope that they have not become desiccated during transit - they were satisfyingly moist at the time of posting, and I would feel considerable disappointment if you did not experience both their rich aroma and delicate texture. Consider them the very embodiment of my feelings towards NTL, and its worthless employees.

Have a nice day - may it be the last in you miserable short life, you irritatingly incompetent and infuriatingly unhelpful bunch of twats.

With all the talk about Bill Lawrence pups on here ya got me, I am ready to try them. Seymour duncon is not consistent anymore due to volume of order's and I need 59 replacement's for my HardTail select. What would be a good choice for me? And could someone please post the correct web site for them.
Thank's!

I HAVE to know who plays this song, anybody know?

anybody have a good suggestion on virtual drum machines? as usual....cheaper to free is better....

the idea is to basically take a firewire PC interface and stick it in a guitar..

cool idea, but what a phenominally ugly headstock..


i might just take a cheap firewire interface, rip it apart and stick it in my Roland G-707 for fun.. i'd love to have Mark Lewno (lewnworx) make a entire RMC-based solution using firewire, but that would cost alot of money.. and i'm either real cheap, or just flat-assed broke..

anyone know of a really cheap.. and i mean REALLY cheap firewire interface for guitar??

Ok so I'm listening to Vulgar Display of Power and I'm curious on what the hell Dime is doing on the solo of Regular People from 4:26 - 4:35, that floating, wah sounding thing. I've heard Hendrix do something like that too.
Any ideas?

Get your asses up here and do some concerts already. We haven't had a metal/rock concert since Adema a few years ago(not counting all the smaller bands that have been here recently The Misfits, The Presidents Of The United States Of America, etc. These were in a tiny dirt lot 20 miles out of town.) Could somebody play a seriouse show up here PLEASE!!!

Just got word the P90 Zz are soon to be stateside and out to the new owners.







Life IS Good!

I got one of those African money scam emails the other day. It was your basic open an account and send us the info and we will deposit 30 million bucks in it and you can keep half scam. I emailed them back asking how they got my email. The response was that her late husband was a longtime fan of the Dean Guitars website and he liked me so he said he wanted the money to go to me. She even said through him she came to love rock music and wanted me to send her copies of all my CDs. Watch out!

Thought this was kinda cool.

MARTHA STEWART'S TIPS FOR REDNECKS

1.Never take a beer to a job interview.
2.Always identify people in your yard before shooting at them.
3.It's considered tacky to take a cooler to church.
4.If you have to vacuum the bed it's time to change sheets.
5.Even if you're CERTAIN that you are included in the will ... it is still considered tacky to drive a U-Haul to the funeral.

DINING OUT
1.When decanting wine, make sure that you tilt the paper cup and pour slowly so as not to "bruise" the fruit of the vine.
2.If drinking directly from the bottle, always hold it with your fingers covering the label.

ENTERTAINING IN YOUR HOME
1.A centerpiece for the table should NEVER be prepared by a taxidermist.
2.Do NOT allow the dog to eat at the table ... no matter how good his manners are.

PERSONAL HYGIENE
1.While ears need to be cleaned regularly, this is a job that should done in private using one's OWN truck keys.
2.Proper use of toiletries can forestall bathing for several days. However if you live alone, deodorant is a waste of money.
3.Dirt & grease under the fingernails is a social no-no, as it tends to detract from a woman's jewelry & alter the taste of finger foods.

DATING (OUTSIDE THE FAMILY)
1.Always offer to bait your date's hook, especially on the 1st date.
2.Be aggressive. Let her know you're interested: "I've been wantin' to go out with you since I read that stuff on the bathroom wall 2 years ago.
3.Establish with her parents what time she is expected back. Some will say 10:00 PM; others might say "Monday". If the latter is the answer it is the man's responsibility to get her to school on time.

THEATER ETIQUETTE
1.Crying babies should be taken to the lobby & picked up as soon as the movie has ended.
2.Refrain from talking to characters on the screen. Tests have proven they cannot hear you.

WEDDINGS
1.Livestock, usually, is a poor choice for a wedding gift.
2.Kissing the bride for more than 5 seconds may get you shot.
3.For the groom, at least, rent a tux. A leisure suit with a cummerbund & a clean bowling shirt can create a tacky appearance.
4.Though uncomfortable, say "yes" to socks & shoes for this special occasion.

DRIVING ETIQUETTE
1.Dim your headlights for approaching vehicles; even if the gun is loaded, and the deer is in sight.
2.When approaching a four-way stop, the vehicle with the largest tires ALWAYS has the right of way.
3.Never tow another car using panty hose and duct tape.
4.When sending your wife down the road with a gas can, it is not polite to ask her to bring back beer too.
5.Do NOT lay rubber while traveling in a funeral procession.

Former TRIUMPH singer/guitarist RIK EMMETT has updated fans on his new rock project with VON GROOVE vocalist/drummer Mike Shotton called AIRTIME, via a new newsletter sent out overnight. The update reads: "At this time, almost all of the overdubs have been completed (on the album Liberty Manifesto), with only a few lead guitar solos left to plug in, and then all the background vocals to be finished off then into the mixing stage it goes. There has been some talk about even getting some mixes done in 5.1 surround! The logo artwork is near the final stage, being handled by Rik's trusted friend in Pittsburgh at Double Play Designs, Jeanine Leech. Overall, the material moves from melodic rock towards a bit more of a progressive vibe, with some of the Rush / Led Zep influence. And as overdubs continue to grow, there is a trend towards stacking harmony guitars, like early WISHBONE ASH or THIN LIZZY or the approach of Tom Scholz (BOSTON) and Brian May (QUEEN). It's guaranteed that Mike and Rik will build some pretty thick background vocal harmonies, as they love the approach of bands like THE BEATLES, JOURNEY, YES and Queen. Once the mixing is done, there will be a 'shopping' period so that business contacts in the industry can get an opportunity to give it a listen. Additionally, Ric's new DVD Live At 10 Gigs has been in the top 10 best seller list at Maple Music for the last 6 weeks. Live At 10 Gigs is available from Maple Music: www.maplemusic.com. As previously reported, Emmett is confirmed for the 2006 edition of Germany's Bang Your Head Festival (www.bang-your-head.de) which is scheduled for June 23rd - 24th at Fairground Balingen in Balingen, Germany. He will be playing a full set of Triumph classics.

Heya folks - just got my beautiful Korina V from Kevphol (excellent transaction and a great person to deal with) and it is an amazing axe. Just a quick question - anyone know what the stock pups are? It sounded nice in practice the other night. Only issue was with feed back during any stop and start kinda riffs. Is this a matter of lowering the pups a bit? or something else? My other axes don't behave this way at the same volume / gain levels (actually have to turn the gain down a bit when using my TC Z due to the SuperDistortions)

THANKS FOR THE PAINT JEEP... still got some wiring to do... so i dont know how it will play... i know i need to clean it better too..i was just excited.. it has a vintage dean shrimpy too..

well? any love?

I need a new watch, do you guys know where I could get a cool one that has like studs or spikes or just look badass? Oh yeah, and what the hell does "A Tout Le Monde" mean? Thanks in advance.

Hey

I recorded some new stuff but I cant find a place to host my mp3 files! Digital Sound Planet isnt working for me anymore. Can someone post a link to a good place to upload my mp3's???

Thanks!

Hey everyone!! I was wondering if there is a Dean custom shop or if there will be one in the near future? maybe, we could start a petition to get it going. Anyone who can contact BIG DEAN Z or if he is in the forum anytime, let's get this ball rollin!!!!!

Have you recorded vocals with it? How does it sound? Any suggestions on making them sound good?

I had the pleasure of taking a nickel tour of the Warmoth factory today. I ordered a body from them and they forgot to drill the routing to run wires from the pickups to the control cavity, so I called them about it... explained to them that I live close by and would not mind driving the body to the shop to have it drilled to save shipping costs and hassles. They do not have a store front and the public is not welcome due to insurance issues etc.... so I was not offered a tour... but I did manage to get a ten minute nickel tour from the sales manager. I was very lucky.




The mailbox... this is the only place where the Warmoth name is displayed. I wonder how they fit all those necks and bodies in there when they are mailing them to people....



This is it.... this is where the magic happens... wood goes in.... bodies and necks come out.



The front door... I was expecting a sales counter... but when I walked in I was standing in the middle of the telephone call center with a bunch of guys looking at me with this "WTF" look on their faces... I had just invaded the nerve center of the warmoth sales dinasty... I quickly had to explain that I was there to see Gregg... who came to greet me.



Warmoth has a strict corporate policy that any visitors must make a face like the Pilsbury Dough Boy when having their pictures taken with Gregg. Gregg is a very nice guy as were all the folks at Warmoth. I was made to feel at home... and the place kind of reminds me of home except most of my guitars are at least partially built.



The Showcase rack... it was the first thing I saw when I burst in throught the front door before I turned my head to the left and saw all the surprised sales reps looking at me like I was a lost transient.... needless to say I had guitar body vertigo, so I probably looked like a starving junkie that was going to rob the place. Talk about a lot of guitar bodies in one place... wow!



The Showcase neck rack... one of them..



The other Showcase neck rack....



I have not seen so many great racks since my last trip to the Pink Poodle... but that's another story altogether.





Packing and shipping. This is where the stuff all gets packed and shipped... duh!



Custom neck tooling... these machines and tools were designed by Ken Warmoth and are superior to the ones used by Fender. They are capable of doing many neck shapes and cuts... Anyone who has tried a Warmoth neck can testify to the fact that the quality of shape, fit and finish is unbeatable.



This is the neck guru. Gregg told me that this guy has been making guitar necks for Warmoth for 18 years. I did not check to see if he was chained to that table or not.



Some necks ready to have truss rods and fretboards installed...



Some exotic wood fretboard blanks...



Chambered body blanks...



Laminate tops...



Some large wood blanks. The white archive racks on the left are where the laminate top blanks and some body blanks are stored.



Custom cutting and drilling... I think they were going to cut that boombox into an Explorer shape...



CNC Milling... one of three fully automated CNC mills I saw...



CNC mill busy making a body... they have programs to make a lot of shapes... they can probably even make one shaped like a fried egg... not that I'm into that sort of thing.










I kinda drifted off into dreamland while I was going up the stairs... it's a good thing I was holding onto the handrail... Gregg asked me if I always suck my thumb in public.










This is where the tops are laminated onto the bodies. These guys must use a hundred gallons of glue per day.... OK... I'm exaggerating.



Sanding and Finishing... these guys were actually goofing off until I pulled out the camera... then they started acting all busy.... Just kidding, they work their butts off in this place...



Neck finishing. This is where the necks are prepped for spraying. I was not allowed into the painting areas... Gregg said I looked like I had inhaled enough paint fumes already!



Here's a stack of bodies... look at some of those tops... wow!



More bodies... check out the spalted maple!


It was a great time. Many thanks again to Gregg for taking time out of his very busy schedule to show me around. These guys are a class act.

anybody want to buy one????pm me like new with footswitch

Is this what we've been reduced to?

Okay, I'll roll with it....

How ya like my non-Dean keychain? (I type that because, Dean, as far as I know, doesn't offer a keychain...(other than the ones provided with a certain uber-badass guitar, that is...)...but they'll sell ya some panties!! Or a barstool!! Or a set of friggin' earrings!! How 'bout a floormat, or a damn drinking glass???!!
What I'm really gettin' at (again) is why on God's green Earth, doesn't Dean Guitars offer picks and straps and other such useful sundries?????????????
[rant off]

[rant back on]
Well that's just great!! Can't seem to get the pic of my keychain up!! eff it!! ...gonna post it anyway!!

Whatever....
Anyway- Let's see yours!!



Okay---seriously, why in the hell will that picture not come up in my post???!!! Can copy and paste the link...why in the world would it not post????

i was thinking of some paintjobs i wouldnt mind for the ml shape but im not sure how they would look or if they would work out. i wouldnt mind either the biohazard symbol http://widenet.ru/images/works/graph/full/biohazard-ns.jpg or some sort of militaristic paintjob with chevrons http://www.army.mil/symbols/Enlisteddescriptions.html or the like. if anyone has pictures of guitars with these paintjobs or could easily do something with photoshop that would be sweet. if people have other kool ideas feel free to post.

Hey guys, I've got an MP3 of a friend of mine, Terry Lauderdale, doing a great rendition of Eruption. He's in a VH tribute band called Hot For Teacher and really tears it up. If I can get it hosted somewhere I think you shredder types would enjoy it.

I'm just bored at work and was wondering if anybody out there knows the history of Dean Guitars? Stuff like, The year it all started when they they closed shop, reopened. All that stuff. I figured if I'm gonna rally behind these guitars I should at least know the history

Ok, so here it is. The effects board went out on my amp and I rely on this thing. It was the only amp I had for practice (my other one is only 15 watts) So I took it in and they said, "Oh, it should be like a 2 week wait" so I wait the two weeks and call them and they are like "It should be here next week sometime". so I wait the week and call again and he is like "well we have a lot of amps to be fixed right now so we will call you when its done" so I wait another motherfukking week, not being able to do much with my band and then I call and the guy says "I will call the amp guy and then call you back tomorrow" so I wait and he calls the next day and he tells me "the amp guy is still waiting for the part to fix it" and I am starting to get frustrated but I keep cool about it and Im like "ok" and then I wait a week and not calls (this is week four) and so I call them and ask if its in yet and he is like "nope not yet" so I wait another goddam week and No amp so I call and he tells me "well the amp guy just got the part he needed to fix it, It should be ready by middle of next week" so I am like ok, thinking that It will be here like he said. I went in today to see if it was done and he called the amp guy while I was in there and when he gets off the phone he says "Well the part is on back order and wont be shipped for another 10 days, and then we will have to wait for 2 days for it to ship" I am so Fracking pissed at these lying Fracking bastards what the hell would you guys do in a Fracking situation like this? If I have to wait the 10 days that will make it 8 motherfukking weeks that its in there and My band is getting royaly screwed.

And today is one of them - I get a call on my cell and a friend has a student who's hot for my Agile Les Pal that I redid so . . . he buys it and pays cash - WooHoo.

Then I get home and a package is there with this pair of Duncans I took a chance on the other night on eBay - I open them up and there they are - double cream bobbins Hmmm strange for Duncans . . . not wax potted and the stickers only have "B" and "N" on them, there is solder where the covers have been removed and hey there's a wooden spacer in there. I look them up and they turn out to be a matched set of Seth Lovers - not too shabby

ok, ive seen on some guitars, theat behind the nut , on the headstock there is somthing like a piece of rubber or sponge, whats that do? also, what does putting duct tape on the outsides of pickups do?

kinda interesting to know what you guys have for favorite bands..you can post more than one..i know i couldnt choose just one

mine are...

pantera
lamb of god
slayer
chimaira
the red chord..and a lot of others thats just a section

posts pics and or lists of your set up..amps, guitars, effects pedals, whatever you want..do it for all instruments.bass..guitar..drums anything ill take some pics of mine and post them eventually..

First off. If anybody has had experiences with warmoth guitars good, bad?? secondly. I am thinking of a H-S-H setup for my guitar. My question is if I will have any problems if I have the following pickups: bridge:BL L-500XL middle: single coil lace sensor (red) neck:seymour duncan '59. I know that some brand pickups are only good when used with one another (ie EMG). will this be a plausible setup? thanks in advance.

finally made it to the big 1000..glad to still be a member of here. joined on whats coming up to a year ago in a couple months.
i hope all my posts arent too annoying!
oh yeah..and deans are the best!

I got really bored, and the teachers here are on strike so I haven't had school in almost a week, so I decided to EVH-ize my guitar.



I used yellow tape but it's kinda hard to tell. My webcam sucks. My sister took my digital camera to New York!

I have been playing guitar for about 20 years and I have always had a short attention span with my gear. I would say in those 20 years I have owned at least 200 guitars (not all at once). I own 4 '79 series guitars now and they are easily the highest quality,best sounding, and downright nicest guitars I have ever owned.

Keep up the good work guys.

look what i've found: a company called christopher dean classical

guitars. you can find them at: http://www.deanguitars.co.uk/

I caught the Anthrax, Judas Priest show at The Chance in Poughkeepsie tuesday night. I must say it rocked. Anthrax delivered a great performance and just when you thought it couldn't get any better Priest came on. I must say I have never seen better solos live except for Iron Maiden at ozzfest this year. Halford can still belt it out too. He screamed so loud and there was so much reverb I swear my eyes rolled into their sockets lol. Priest was on stage for about 2 and a half hours. Towards the end halford begin to tire but they still brought it for the finale. Good show and I am glad I made it.

I want something pretty versatile, since I have no idea what type of tone I want.

I was thinking of a modeling amp, possibly the Line6 Spider II 75 (maybe the 30 and spend the difference on pedals)

I currently just have a 10w Kustom and no pedals, etc

Volume isn't really a concern, since it's just me playing in my office at home.

Opinions?

Thanks!

Anyone own a similar one? What you all think of the price'?

peace.

I am asking this question because the Dimarzio SD's that come in the TC's seem different than the SD's I have bought off the shelf. I had a Gibson V and I put Dimarzio SD in the bridge, it gave a very bright crunchy sound (think High n Dry era Def Lep). I them bought a TC V with a SD in the bridge and it was not even close to the same, it was darker sounding with less highs. I know guitars sound different and all but the TC has a maple cap that should make the guitar brighter overall, the SD in my TC Z sounded darker as well. Now I have a TC Caddy and the sound is brighter than my V or Z, that may have to do with there being less mahogany than the Z. Does anyone here know if the TC's get a "custom wound" Dimarzio SD?

ok i know the Bel Aire's arent as popular as the Ml's ... But...

I got my Hollywood Bel Aire out last night and played it for about 2 hrs.. I still think they are one of the most beautifly guitar designs Dean ever made... thay are so balanced.. that droopy asss makes the weight distribution just right..... I wish they would make them again..

So in spirit of this.. all you closet Bel Aire guys post pics of your Bel Aire..

i've never played a washburn guitar but i was bored today and

decided to look at their forum. one guy made this way cool dime

tribute ML shape guitar.



p.s. i hope this doesn't turn out like the last time i looked at another forum if you guys remember the pantera forum thread.

I have always wanted one of the Holdsworth Carvins, and this just showed up in stock at Carvin.

http://www.carvin.com/products/gis.php?guitarType=SB&serial=90929

It is a Maple neck to Ash body, instead of the stock all Alder.

Has anyone tried these and.or have them, or dealt with Carvin guitars???

I put money down for it, but what do you guys think, I was gonna get the HT from B&T, but the necks on em kill me.

what do ya guyz think, I value your opinions very highly.

I found a couple of pictures of dimebag in the 80's and he was playing White Dean ML.

This ML was quite different then all the others I have ever seen can anybody help me out?






The main differences between this and a normal ML is that this one has 24 frets and there is a different switch location.

I know this may come as a shock to some of you, but my real job isn't rockin'....it's advertisin'.

That's why my band Crankdaddy gets to play once a year in the Battle of The Ad Bands in New York. Well, this year, as part of the deal, Panasonic offered us FREE use of an $80,000 high def camera, an operator, and a small shooting budget to make a music video. So naturally, we said yes.

Before you go check it out, here a couple things you should know:

* This is my real office.
* These are my real co-workers.
* The copy room dancer is really hot.
* The "One Show" I make a reference to at one point is a prestigious advertising competition that rewards only the most creative advertising. Not crap.

Thanks for letting me share, guys. Hope you enjoy it. And oh yeah, it's safe for work.

well i love my peavey and have had peavey in the past and know them to be quality so i like the idea of the valve king. I am not sure i want the hole classic hot rod thing so muc as i want a tube head to overdrive/distort the crap out of.

http://www.music123.com/Peavey-ValveKing-100-Head-i242807.music


That brings me to this. I have never considered randall much, most likly due to the fact that i have heard many bad things about quality issues . Has any one played on of these or can you comment on them

http://www.music123.com/Randall-RH50T-i160942.music


or a used crate blue voodoo or a used laney gh50l

http://www.music123.com/Laney-GH50L-i250009.music

i know that there are quite a few threads but these are amps i haven't seen any posts about with the exception of the blue voodoo.

Well I finally got my first Dean today. It's a '93-'94 Tropical ML with some weird cherry paint job. I need to take it in to get set up but after that there'll be plenty of porn .

Hey all! I'm basically looking to start over as far as stomp boxes go. Distortion,chorus....the whole setup. What would you guys advise? I have a Digitech DF-7 Distortion Factory,which I hate. 7 types to choose from,and I can't find one that I like. Right now I'm playing through a Randall RG200 amp,and my guitar is my Dime-O-Flame. Everything else(which ain't much)is getting scrapped. Where do I start? What do you guys suggest? Help!

Hey I've seen these Randall MTS heads around with interchangable modules and such, and I was just wondering if anyone had played through one, and had an opinion on it. Your thoughts are appreciated.

ok i know that dean made him a roazorback, but in GuitarWorld a fiew issues ago[with the edge from U2 on the cover] there is a small article about how after zakk played the razorback, he went to dean and had them make him a one-off guitar called teh muddy bullseye. and dean was considering making it a profudtion model. it kinda looks like a v with SG horns near the neck and his bullseye on it. now am i just dellusion and is that the razzorback[i dont tuink so becuase i havent seen a razorback with horns on it]any body have any info on this?

Hey, check out my old band. Pretty much sounds like it was recorded in mono, into a stereo that was in a trash can. We're planning on rewriting some of the songs for reuse in a new band. Let me know what yalls think.

And yes for the most part I know it sounds like ass, so don't be afraid to tell me. The drums and singer specifically.

Guys,
Does anyone have Elliiot's email......I'm having a problem that I hope he can help me on.Thanks.

Ken

Here's a forward from a friend of mine... I couldn't help but chuckle

A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.

"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."

Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.

Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.

The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.

Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.

She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."

She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"

(you're gonna love this)



(its a real treat)



(a masterpiece)


(wait for it)







The bank manager looks back at her and says...

"It's a knickknack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."



(You're singing it, aren't you? Yeah, I know you are........)

I have been meaning to post this for a while now but haven't had the time...

our own ja1010 sent me his bands demo CD a couple of weeks ago.. and i have to say i have had it in my cd player in my car since...

there are 5 tracks on it.. i will review each one of them

-Track 1 is on the DOA cd it is called Funk and Wagnals..
if you heard the version on the DOA cd you gotta hear it as it was meant to be mixed. This is no dig on you Brian but the production on this song is unbelievable on on this cd (as it is on the rest of the cd) ... it is a cool funky instrumental ala satriani on Meth.. it has some really neat timing things going on

-Track 2 is a little more straight forward beat wise but it has a really great hook and catchy rhythm part this really reminded me of satriani... JA's playing is over the top as usual this is a great tune..

- Track 3 is my favorite song on the cd.. the song it self has great structure.. the only nit pic i have on this whole cd is the production on this song.. the basss drum and the rhythm guitar are hitting in the same frequency and is over driving the speakers a good bit.. even in my high dollar system in my car.. this song is so good
though... you said you knew what happened i look forward to a version that i can crank...

- Track 4 noodling and shredding and whammy pedal fun... very cool and original this song s going to get me a ticket... it makes me want to drive fast...

- Track 5 a great take on what should be everyone's favorite song.. The Star Spangled Banner...if satch and eric johnson had grox and had a child that played the Star spangled banner... this is what i would have immagined it would have sounded like... clean and solid.. nice interpretation.....


If you havent checked out ja101's site.. http://vov.tentenland.net/ do your self a favor and do it.... his album comes out in december i believe... get it.. if the whole thing is as good as the ep then it will be in heavy rotation in my cd changer.. great stuff from one of the best players and all around guy on this board.. i hear if you are a DOA member you will get a .0001% discount... so you better sign up now!!!

of course these are just my opinions... i may be wrong..

I took my Marshall logos off of the front of my cabs...Does anyone know who could make custom logos of whatever I want?

What's the difference between a covered pickup and uncovered?
It is purely design or does a cover offer any functionality over uncovered ones?

And then - if you have covers can you just take them off?

this is one of the designs for my demo cd cover what do u think twisted enough??demos called DEVICE 17 "devil weaver"

Now there not sanded yet but you get the Idea
So what do ya think?

I have a chance to score a used Warhead for $400.00 or $450.00 without the cab. Would like to see if ya'll have any opionions about this amp. Have heard that they had alot of problems being in the shop. Anyone own one? How about the cabinets also....

Life is good! Here's to Dean and you guys!

i always wanted a a dean but the ones i liked diffrent have a floyd in it,and im to lazy to install one,anyways i noticed that after you click on the (mL)79 ser. there is an mlf, i never noticed it there ,anyways i would like to know the price of these guitars i thinking of buying one

thought i'd do some rough concepts of some paintjobs for the Ml shape. sorry for the bad quality, but i'm not a photoshop pro (i'm more of a paint pro) but u get the general idea of the paintjob. let me know wat u think, they are still in need of some work tho.

"Sergeant"


"Biohazard"


"Shockwave"

if you're like me and don't have 30 bucks to spend on straplocks...

do what i did. put safety pins between the strap button and the

strap. it hasn't come off yet

i'll post a pic when/if i find the camera

i'm thinking either 5150 or a yellow charvel style "tiger" design.

gimme imput/ideas/tips. thanx.

this will be my first painting project

Just looking for some insight into these amps from people who have tried them or own them.....

I found a cyclone in camouflage that I like but I've never played one....This is the one I'm leaning towards but not sure how it sounds.....figured I might as well get some opinions on other amps too.

Here's what I'm looking for:
1. Bone crushing distortion.
2. Good clean tones (may not get used too often).
3. Something that sounds brutal at low volumes too.

Thanks!!!!!!

Hi guys! It's been a long time since I've posted. Just wanted to let you know that Trev and I are alive and well. Neither of us are playing any guitar right now. Trev is into lacrosse (he's a goalie), and I'm frequently on a lacrosse forum.

Just wanted to let you know that I'm still trying to spread the word of Dean around. A topic came up on the forum about different guitars guys play, and I posted a link to the Dean forum and my guitars. Here's the link, (I'm toward the bottom of page 2):

It's only a matter of time before we're back into guitar again. Talk to you soon. --Joe

well..about a month and a half ago when i was restringing my ML F..the string popped out and i lost the block..and didnt find it until about 2 weeks ago, and i restrung the floyd..ive never had a problem doing it..but no matter how much i ajusted the springs the floyd wouldnt stay leveled..and 3 strings ended up snapping when i was playing, i restring it again today with the strings i usually use..and yes ive been using the same guage strings all along, and today..strings snap again..and the floyd never would stay level

The neck joint sucks but interesting concept.

From the Iommi.com forums, nope didn't get a chance to talk with Dio myself.


Ronnie James Dio is working with Iommi again! He told me last night. I told him that his son was a visitor on the board here and asked him if he would consider working with Tony again, and Ronnie said "what do you mean consider? I'm working with Tony now. There's no problem with me and Tony or with Sabbath. In fact we're doing two songs right now to go on a new record called Sabbath - The Ronnie James Dio years!"

"Wow!" I said "Can I report that on iommimessageboard or such like? Or is it a secret?" and Ronnie said "You can post it wherever you like. It's no secret, it's happening."

I was wary of posting it on here without permission from The Office or whatever but RJD is adamant he's talking about it and it's no secret.





1st Fused and a supporting tour (hope they hit North America) and then some new goodies with Ronnie and Tony.....

What is this worth? This is the Steve Vai Signature Cab, 4 Celestion Green Backs..................

C.

I am pretty sure that the Dean Hardtail Select may be the one! NOT The USA Hardtail, the normal one...anyway...I have none the pics of the website to be different than in person

Does anyone have a Hardtail in Braziliaburst, Trans Amber, Trans Red, and/or Tiger Eye?

I wanna see what they look like in person...so lemme see some pics!

That's all.

Hi.

Aright guys, I'm 14 and in ninth grade. I don't want to waste time in college studying music, so I would like to go to a music academy. Can you guys name some good ones, prffereably in english speaking countries, or the one Alexi Laiho and Janne Warmen went to? Do you guys know the qualifications I would need to get into one of these? Thanks in advance.

Jay, I was at an all day Jamfest today and spent a few hours
playing with these guys........what do ya think??





How about this shot?

Can someone explain to me how you coil tap a single coil pickup?

I purchased a music store recently and this was left over stock. Check it out on my store page if anyone is interested.

Thanks,

www.route1guitars.com

Call the store for pricing and more details.

Every once and a while, this board can get all up in arms about all sorts of things. It's nice to remember some times, that despite the rough spots, some great friendships are made and maintained through this forum. People from all around the world meet and hang out because we all share one thing in common - our love for Dean Guitars.

At DOA, Patty and I met Hans and Inge from the Netherlands. We hit it off from the get go and we really enjoyed their company. We also hooked up one more time on Florida's East Coast before they went back home. When we parted ways, we told them we would love to come see them in The Netherlands and they were quick to extend an invitation to their home. So, a year and a half or so later, we hopped on a plane and took them up on their offer of hospitality!

Here are some pics from the trip. There's a lot here, but I also know you DOA'ers are really going to enjoy seeing them.

All things aside, this little photo essay sums up why this is the greatest forum in the world!!!

Our trip began in Amsterdam. What a party city - never seen anything like it. Here's a typical street scene, the canal and the canal houses in the background.



The first night we saw Hans and Inge, they came to Amsterdam and we went out and hit the clubs! I have no recollection of this one being taken. To say we partied that night would be an understatement.



Of course, what visit to Amsterdam would be complete without a visit to the Redlight District! We saw some interesting shows and I found the window shopping much better than back home !! Patty and I did venture into a coffee shop one night, asked for the mildest "brew", then quickly realised that "mild" was all relative!! Holy smokies - they sure like their "coffee" strong!! And the strong stuff....YOWZA....never had anything like it.

We also visited the Hash and Marijuana Museum. Here's Patty checking out one of the exhibits.



And of course, what Marijuana museum would be complete without an interesting exhibit on how to grow your own!!!



Next, it was off for Hans and Inge's excellent Netherlands adventure!!

Here we are sampling some of the Netherlands native snacks by the Sea in Scheveningen. Bitterballen are bite sized versions of a snack called Croquettes. If you've never had these little devils - man - you haven't lived!!! By the way, notice that most, if not all the pics, have the bluest skies! The weather was phenomenal with no clouds and temps in the mid 70's!!!



Here's Hans and I walking back from getting our feet wet in the North Sea!



A shot of us enjoying a nice cool drink at the beach. The beaches are gorgeous in the Netherlands. They run as far as the eye can see with huge dune areas along the shoreline. It reminded me of Cape Cod.



We took a trip up to Lelystad to see a ship that the Dutch had built by hand. An authentic replica of a wooden merchant ship from the 1600's (think pirate ship), the Batavia. It really was amazing to see!





Here's a cool shot from a city called Delft. It was one of my favorate places - tons of history there.



Here's Patty and I in front of the World Court in The Hague. It was cool to be standing at such a historic site.



Next it was off to Maastricht and a tour of it's ancient ruins. Some great historic sites and a great place to spend the day exploring. Look carefully and you might even see some Dean wings in the pic.



A great shot of Inge on one of the Cannons that used to guard the city!



Here's the 4 of us in the Netherlands oldest pub!!! I forget how old it was, a couple of hundred years!!!



This was kinda cool! While sitting next to a canal enjoying a cold one, a barge came by! Check out the name on the back!!



Now, in case you haven't noticed, beer is featured prominently in this report. Well, we did try some other stuff too! One night after dinner, I felt like a Grand Marnier, so, I ordered a double. This is what they brought me. And the pic was taken after a sip or 2!! The cost.....about $12usd....for about 6 or 7 oz's as near as I could figure!!



Next we went to the Historic city of Valkenburg. Here we toured the ruins of a castle which was quite amazing. Here we are overlooking Valkenburg from the Castle.



Patty exploring the castle ruins.



After the castle, we toured some underground cave systems. Now, pictures can't describe what we saw or experienced. There were huge pictures drawn into the cave walls with charcoal. They were incredible to see and you simply can't capture the experience with a camera. Here we are in front of one of the pictures.



Then we were treated to a surprise. Hans had made arrangements with one of the Netherlands most famous breweries, Hertog Jan, to give us a tour. It was a small operation that produced some of the most amazing beer I have ever tasted. They also make regular Pilsner beer, but this particular brewery was devoted to their specialty line. Beers that had as much as 10% alcohol levels and tasted very rich! We brought some home with us and it's actually best to age it for a few years. One thing is for sure, when Hans and Inge come to visit us, we will crack a bottle of Hertog Jan Grand Prestige!!



Here's Patty with the Brew Master tour guide pouring some beer direct from the tanks. At this point in the tour, the beer was about 1/2 way through the brewing stage!



Hans trying the finished product....



"Hans - stand guard....I'm goin in!!!!!!!!"



After the tour it was time to visit the pub across the street. The pub actually has a pipeline that runs over the road. It goes directly from a brew tank to the pubs taps! Now that's fresh beer!!! Oh, by the way. The average cost of a beer in a pub was under $2. And, you could get a case at the grocery store for..............are you ready for this..............about $6usd. That's 24 bottles folks - 50 cents a pop!!! Yep - beer is cheaper than Coke or Pepsi in the Netherlands!!!



What trip to the Netherlands would be complete without some windmill pics?? I was actually surprised to see how common they were. Lots of them around the country side and some still in use and turning!



We have a mascot we take with us on our trips and photograph him with something unique to that country. Here's Gary in Holland!!! I think maybe Gary will come to DOA this year!



As a contrast, here's the new version used to make power. When we went to Lelystad, we passed though fields that had these monsters as far as the eye could see!



Of course, there was time for just relaxing too! On the nights we stayed home, Hans would cook us supper, then he and I would wash the dishes while the girls jammed!!!!




That's about it folks. Sorry for so many pics, but when you have 250 it's hard to narrow them down (and we'll keep the REALLY incriminating pics off!!). As I said, I know a lot of you will really enjoy them.

I must also say the Dutch eat like Kings. We have travelled all over the world and I have never had food as good as I did here. Their collection of restaurants is endless and so is the variety. I had the best Indian and Greek food I have ever had! We also had Indonesian, Chinese, and of course authentic Dutch food!!! I gotta tell ya - Hans can cook!!!!

Our hosts - well what can I say? They bent over backwards to show us one hell of a good time. They went so far above and beyond the call of hospitality. All of what you saw here was planned by Hans and Inge for us. Each day we got up, they had something else great to show us. We drove 100's of kilometers, overnighted in hotels, walked many many miles, and basically got a real feel of life in the Netherlands. What a great country! We will forever be indebted and gratefull to Hans and "Inke" for showing us their part of the Blue Marble we call earth.

People that met because of this forum. Friendships that will last a lifetime because of Dean Guitars!

One last thing....in the interest of exchanging culture, we explained to our hosts what we mean when we use the term "Dutch Oven"!!! They thought it was funny, but it did leave us wondering where that came from?????

Hi guys long time lurker new poster.. I have pretty much played strat styles and les pauls except for the occasional v until recently where I have acquired a bunch of deans and washburn dime v's and ml's. I used to use the rockstand multi stand for my guitar needs but the mls and v's do not fit. I generally have to bring several axes per show 4 hours of covers from the 70's thru modern. I need my seven string schecter, then I usually brought 2 pauls, and a floyded esp lynch strat style. Now that I have converted, what stands do you suggest to carry a few of the odd shaped guitars? Is there even a multi stand that accomodates these type of guitars? What do you use? Thanks in advance! Chris

I just got done painting our kitchen. Started at about noon yesterday.

Think twice before choosing red for a room color. Actually, it's "Awning Red" from the Behr Palate of Colors in a flat enamel finish.

Three solid coats of that stuff with several hours of drying time in-between coats. One and Two went on yesterday, with another round of cut-in and Coat Three today. Of course, it had to be the room with the most corners, doorways, windows and cabinetry.

It looks nice, but it was a major pain in my taint.

Does anyone have the actual pics of the thing from Winter NAMM last year? I've been looking for them all over this forum but I can't find them, and the crappy PS pic on the main page hurts me eyes .

South Side BABY!!! FINALLY!!!!!

i was lookin on"piantyourownguitar.com" and he says he made a wylde bullseye for 250$. he said he used a lotus les paul copy. just wanderin if anybody knows where i can find some cheap guitars to use for a project

I'm getting ready to get new plates for my car and want to do something to honor Dime.I can have 7 characters.I'm thinking "DIME 333" or" DIME RIP".Any other suggestions you guys might have would be appreciated.

Just got the Dec. issue of Guitar World a minute ago. It's the first issue I've recieved by mail. The one I got at the store came with a CD, why didn't this one? I bearly started reading it and this is a KICKASS issue!

think its possible to get dean to make me a custom ingraved trussrod cover? im really geeky, and named my guitar... would love to have it ingraved in a trussrod cover...

im not sure if anyone else is aware of this but follow these steps and you will be freaked out!

1. first, open microsoft word
2. type in Q33 NY (make sure its in CAPS)
3. Set the size to 48, and the font to Wingdings
4. Be freaked out!

explaination - Q33 is the first plane that went into the trade centres, and NY obviously stands for New York.

tell me something about "KORG Ax 30G?Thanks...

Alright...

Been doing some amp research and I think I have finally figured out my amp problem. What I am trying to accomplish is mix vintage and modern tones. My problem with vintage distortion (Marshall JCM-ish tone) is that it's more mud than tone and it doesn't have enough bottom end. A lot of people have pointed me towards Laney and Blue Voodos. Anyone have any suggestions or background information on these amps? Help a brudda out. Word up. Peace. [/wiggertalk]

I saw one on the web and was wondering if it was a limited edition? They look great! if so, are the gold pickups dimarzio's like the USAs? Or are they duncans with gold covers? and when are those p90 guitars coming out

I bought a dean hardtail select less than a year ago, and really like how it plays. Ive noticed recently that the bridge (which is silver) is turning a pinkish hue in certain spots. Has anyone ever had this problem before?

On a completely different topic, Im thinking of throwing a Seymour Duncan Jazz and JB in this guitar. What is your opinion on these pups in a guitar like this? I need versatile pups because I play lots of jazz, blues, funk and hard rock with the occasional dose of prog metal.

Thanks
Adam

I have just found out Kurt says we will be playing the gig going on at 9PM opening for Dreams of Damnation.

anyone?

I've been offered a very nice one for my SG. I'll say right now that the Hardtail is the only Dean I'd consider owning at the moment until they make a better strat copy. Just can't do the pointies, and Dean is pointy central these days. So tell me about these selects. They look really nice, but the only one I got my hands on had sharp fret ends that turned me off at $650.

Local news (Tampa) Overnight, Hurricane Wilma grew into a Category 5 monster. But it's not just any Category 5; it's the strongest ever recorded.

Great…just when I thought we would make it without any Hurricanes hitting Florida this year. 4 last year was enough to last me a while.

Right now the path shows it crossing the state just below Tampa, which is good for me but if the track moves North any, bad stuff. We’ll know by tomorrow just what part of Florida will get smacked…then we’ll have to go out and get supplies instead of Halloween candy.

They are having a great sale on scratch n dent and overstock speakers and cabs. www.avatarspeakers.com

Well Guys, like I posted before I have to deal with this throat thing and surgery is tomorrow. I don't like the idea very much but gotta know. Might be benign. I have adopted Tom's way, Im pissed. Whatever this is I will kick it's ass, but a few good thoughts won't hurt either...see ya later

okay, i dunno what the hell im doing wrong. I had to restring my FBD only whever I use my whammy bar the G string pops every GOLDARN' time. its so frippin annoying. not to mention i loosened one of the intonation allen holes, how the hell do I stop the G string from popping???!!! HELP

Thought some of you guys might be interested...

Ok, I need just a little bit of help from you guys. Sometime in the next 6 weeks, We hope to be launching a 1 hour Rockline type show on Vertigo Radio tentatively titled: Unsigned Live. The name basically tells you what We want to do with it. We want to do an hour long interview with a different unsigned band each week, to help them promote their music live on the air. Requirements for this are: Cd and Press Kit, or full length mp3 album and wordpad bio. It would also be nice to have some singles for us to give out as contest prizes, but I'll leave that up to the bands, to determine just how much promotion they want.

Being as I cannot call any foreign country on my cell phone, All bands must be within the continental united states for the time being. Perhaps sometime in the future we can expand to worldwide...but I cant afford to front that phone bill right now.

If you're in a band who is interested in appearing on this show, contact me at VertigoRadio@gmail.com. It will more than likely air on thursday nights, and will be a 1 hour live show. I'd like to start compiling a list of bands asap.

Thanks,

-jay.

Is that possible? Somehow make the frets removable and have a set of slot blanks that you could slide in their place to make it a fretless neck??? Would that compromise the integrity of the neck, tone, playablility, etc...?? I zoned otu earlier while studying for an exam and I came up with that Let me know your thoguths guys because if I can find a beat up neck at my local pawn shop Ima experiment with the concept.

-Mike

Not a dean but i have liked this guy guitars for some time.. havent played it too much..i have to do my routine neck stuff too it ...but first impressions it that it has a really cool funky low end vibe..







this headstock look familiar?


this case looks hjeavy but it is actually nice..its made of cedar i think

Im a lefty. I got one of the last left handed PRS's to be produced. now, this is a preference but PRS guitars fit me perfectly, its almost like they were made for the way I play. Not knocking dean and yes Im aware this is a dean forum but I cant help it. anyways, as you may or may not know, PRS stopped producing left handed models!!! the only ones you can get are custom private stock models. I applied for a private stock quote and will be waiting for the return. In the mean time, the guy who is sending my quote says that all private stock PRS's start at 6500 FUCKINGDOLLARS!!!! thats absolutely ridiculous IMO. especialy for us lefties who can only get a PRS through private stock. were they losing money on the left handed PRS's??? I mean, I dont know if ANY guitar is worth what they make you pay for a custom job. i dunno, just venting, questions, comments?

Hey guys,

I got Jim Durkin from Dark Angel / Dreams of Damnation to join. He has a old American Dean V that he keeps at home. Let's give Jim a big Welcome to the Dean Forum and DOA.

Alright, here goes:

My future in the Army seems to have a lot of beachfront property with NO OCEAN...very soon. TNVOL, if you're still over there I'll be doing some drill instruction for the Hajis in Baghdad, date to be announced but within the next 90 days.

My promotion to SSG is in jeopardy because PSB decided it would be nice to lose 40 of my promotion points two weeks before they go active and my promotion would be in effect if I had at least 38 of those points...gotta love these people!

I have pictures to share when I have time of Avarice, and me dressed up like a Haji...LMAO...something to think about.

While doing our field duty the rear detachment soldiers decided it would be fun to find visiting combat engineers, stab them in the chest and toss them off the third floor balcony to the pavement below, and the landings are completely vertical so the drop is straight down with no stops and no waiting before you become part of the scenery! So CID is investigating the drunken barracks murderer (he gets these engineers drunk first), but what sucks most is that these things are in MY UNIT'S BARRACKS...not just the division, nope...my COMPANY...go figure...

So yes I'm submerged completely to my eyeballs in red tape and haven't had a second to breathe and take in the lovely sights and smells of Texas lately...

Stay cool folks if the next time you hear from me I'm no longer stateside!

A friend sent me this, you just type in your favorite band or song and it will play other songs you might like. Free for 10 hours, I think it's pretty cool.

this is cool..

they should wear the old 70's/80's Astros "rainbow" uniforms in atleast one game..

Hi All,

I don't know if any of you would be interested but I promised a friend
of mine that I'd help out by asking around.

They are playing in an indoor social soccer team throughout the
fall/winter and are desperately in need of a coach. They need someone
to
help out with Training 1-2 nights a week and since I am not that
interested in soccer and am far too busy with other projects I said I
couldn't get involved.
If any of you are interested in helping out with coaching and attending
the occasional game on a weekend during the summer please let me know.

Any assistance would be appreciated; I've attached a team photo to this
email for you to decide whether you're interested:

Thanks.

someone is either ][)umb or crazy or both

good god!!!!!

I've got my Gibson SG up for sale or trade here and at the Fender site. I've been offered some good stuff for it. A Caddy Select, a Fender 72 Custom RI Tele, a Hardtail Select (with $$ from me), and now the kicker. My personal Holy Grail of Deans, a flame green EVO Premium. I've wanted an EVO Premium, especially a green one, since the day I found out they existed. I never was particularly an SG fan, but something about this one has taken hold of me. I think it's the ebony board, 1 11/16 nut, and 24 3/4 scale, all of which are identical to the Premium. So why am I still thinking about it??? Tell me to pull my head out and pull the trigger. Actually I think it's the 490R and 490T pups in the Gibby that I like so much. I've heard so many good things about the Peraly Gates that I'm sure I'd love them as well. GAAAAAAA I hate decisions like this!!!!

http://www.big-boys.com/articles/makingoutgirls.html

I know this isn't dean related, but it is too cool not to share! Thanks to our friends at Digitech, Dan Donegan of Disturbed will be in our store, Funky Munky Music, in the KC metro area for a fan meet and greet at 5:30 PM on November 7th (a Monday)

Disturbed will be in town playing the uptown theater for the "10,000 Fists" tour (no jokes IAN)

Anyway, we just wanted to invite all our friends in DEAN land to attend. WE are stoked! Dan has Awesome tone. He will be signing the "weapon" pedals in our store....stay tuned for these hand signed pedals after november 7th.

thanks for reading, and come out and join us for our birthday party with Dan Donegan.

thanks

Anyone know where you can get Czech replacement bridges?
NOT the tonepros version. Ideally like the $20 Gotoh or even the Korean version would be ok.

All I can seem to find online is Tonepros..

Thankya

What's this I heard about Dean losing a lawsuit to Gretsch over the design of their tremolo? Is this true?

I just came home from MUSICALIA, a mega music-related fair here in Lisbon.
I saw a lot of cool things. I just tested an ENGL Powerball... man... that thing is amazing! I took some minutes to play a bit with a BLACKBOX, pretty cool I must say!

But I completly fell in love with the PRS SE Billy Martin's signature series. Its gorgeous and plays great! Very cheap also! (BTW, I hate Good Charlotte).
(http://www.prsguitars.com/showcase/current/billymartin.html)

Have you guys tested it yet? That thing must roar with some EMG's on it...

Do any of our dealers carry this PRS model?

Well as you all know I bought a peavey xxx recently the thing is like brand new no dust or scratches or anything and i cant find a buyer to save my life!!I just want to sell it to get a marshall!!I put it on ebay 3 times as low as 665.00 still nothing!!I paid 700 for it. so its sitting in my living room all boxed up and ready to go.....and has no where to go.... ive never had so much trouble trying to sell an amp in my life!! this is so depressing!!

though i dont have one.. YET..all who have taken pics of theselves in the mirror and have them for an avatar..post them here.
then we can have the joy of seeing them all at the same time and laugh that much more
useless thread ..but i think itd be cool

little picture - when you click it to see large pic it degrades to a Gibby - neat trick

I liked the Dean they had made, this thing is a little on the goofy side

I'm gonna try and tackle yngwies Far Beyond the Sun
i think im up to it where i stand...but its gonna be a while for sure
anyone know this song? or have any tips for the super tricky parts in particular?
Thanks in advance!

has all the main features Ive been looking for, and the price is right, but has anyone played one?

I'd like to know if anyone, here, has ever learned how to play a 12 stringed, or more, guitar And, if so, what are the challenges in learning and accomplishing the task What songs require a guitarist to manuever those techniques and where/when are they mainly applied

The only time I've seen a 12-stringed guitar played/used is in a LED ZEPPELIN concert video: THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME "Dazed & Confused" is the track. It's one of my top ten favorites.

Thanks

I just got back from a bar,
these two girls were there, and started diking out like crazy. They kept tounging and fondling each other. Tonight i was at the right place at the right time... Finally! I never usually am. I loved it!!! Reply with a "Hell Yea!" if you support the cause!

p.s. it was a regular bar, no one expected it. it wasn't no strip joint.

Im back, I feel like crap, but Im back. Doc said that his thing looked better than she originally thought once she got in there. It had gotten to the vocal cords on the bottom but came off really easily, which is a good sign. So between looking better than expected and coming away easier than she tought I should be okay. If the biopsy comes back hot Ill need the radiation but she said she got it all and it was caught very early so I will recove fine and should keep my voice. For Christ's sake don't smoke. Even if this is benign it aint no friggen fun, and it hurts like hell.

This happened just down the road from me in St.Pete/Tampa...right by Dean HQ.

ive been spending my guitar money on this

I ordered a pair of the new Groove Tube 12ax7Ms the other day from Torres Engineering. I've read such good things about these that I had to try a set in my Crate vintage club 20. These are made to the exact specs of the vintage Mullard tubes (hence the "M" in the name). Now I have a pair of real vintage Mullards and I can't tell the difference. These are replacing a pair of Ei Elite Golds which are great tubes, but these GT's are the faschizzle, but without the sizzle. These are the quietest preamp tubes I've ever heard. The clean is glassy and the gain is killer fat & the transition is as smooth as young booty on prom night.

I can't recommend these enough - they cost me like $20 ea + shipping. If you want the best preamp tube out there today, but can't afford $100s of dollars for vintage these babys are the way to go. They deliver the Tone, the whole Tone and nuthin' but the Tone.

Well there is a hot chic pics thread... so i think there should be a more realistic one... anyways this is sian who else is gonna pimp their wife???

just thought i would post this demo of the boss dr-5 drum machine which has been discontinued, only place i know that has any is ebay.
these do make great little machines and the impressive part is you can plug your guitar into it and trigger just about any sound you want and has a built in 4 track sequencer and you can record parts and make them into songs.
cons of this unit is the machine cant keep up with your guitar playing and the buttons are small and it dont have alot of banks of memory to store songs.... but those can be deleted
anyway heres the link to the demo

My neice Raechel had a costume party tonight. I know it's not guitar related but i figured you guys would dig these pictures...

Here's pictures of my costume...

Me and my little one...She didn't quite know what to think when she first saw me...She got a smile out in this pic but five seconds later she was screaming for me to let her go...She eventualy warmed up and realized her dad's just a freak...



I added a hump



The costume started to evolve and i figured it wouldn't be complete without the Rawker wig...I didn't realize i looked this scary...

Okay, Ive seen some stuff on the forum about neck profiles, V and C to be exact, Ive only played one one Dean, that being my FBD and honestly I don't know which of these neck profiles it has, but I like it, im considering buying a HT Select, what profile do these guitars have?

Fender Strat


ESP Viper


BC Rich Warlock (I love the white ones)


BC Rich Bich


Gibson Les Paul (Can't go wrong with a finish like this)


Black Gibson SG


And Finally...

DBD Tribute!

Im getting a Line 6 Pod Pro but am unsure what to do as far as power amps go. The burning question of mine is if there is a huge difference in sound between ss and tube power amps? I know tubes would make it LOUDER but would they make it sound better/worse in any way? ANd also any suggestions for a power amp would be lovely, as long as they arent 1 grand + power amps thanks

It takes a minute to load. Remind you of anyone?

Sometimes my friends should not have Email.

I found this old version of speed lives. (Although its titled speed kills its practicly exactly the same as speed lives)
And is that a 29 fret guitar he's got there???
why am I not surprised?

Well on the advice of some forum members I dumped the Zoom 505 II and picked up this distortion pedal and it kicks ass. It has three modes: Metal (early Metallica sound, think Fade To Black), Pulverize (high gain ass kickery) and Insane (which is reeeallly high gain) and has a noise gate which is pretty damn good. It has bass, treble, scoop and mid controls (you select which mid frequency then choose how much you want to scoop it). It also has drive and level knobs.

My only problem with it is that it makes my amp shake from the bass. And you can hear it, it's a very loud shake. This is really frippin up my playing and if I turn the bass down it sounds thin as hell. So I've basically got a choice between noticable amp shaking sound or thin shitty non shaking sound...any clues on what I should do?

//westtexas.cox.net/cci/apvideo/1021roadrunner_700.wmv

i thought this was cool, it was on my cox.com home page .

Me! Much thanks to Jeff for involving me on this cut, waiting on me to get my parts to him and working his butt off to clean up my stuff and make it all work! Thanks to Brian as well for his work on it!

It should be easy to distinguish between the two of us at the transitions. (besides, his playing is the REALLY GOOD playing and mine is the, ummm, other playing.) Oh, and my parts were done on my Czech EVO Deluxe.

Check it out.

I still have my Bel Aire in a not finished state. I have had a Wilkenson Trem and roller nut installed. I have also bought the pups.
Next would be 3 new pots, selector switch and an input jack.
Are there a difference between the Fender style pots that would go on this pickguard and the ones on my Z? And the pup selector, guess it's only the typical 5 way switch, do they still have 3 way ones? Bridge, middle, neck - all I need. Any suggestions? thank you my fine Dean friends.

I have $15 in BestBuy bucks from the latest McDonald's Monopoly game and I was thinking of buying a new game. Well... not new, but something along the lines of Call of Duty or maybe Battlefield: Vietnam. I want something I can play online with other people... also thought of Halo: Combat Evolved. Any other suggestions?


EDIT: I should also add that I was a huge Diablo II: LOD fan, so I'm also looking at online RPGs like Sacred, Neverwinter Nights, and Dungeon Siege. (I don't think I can get DS on Best Buy's site though... and the closest Best Buy store is like an 1-1/2 hours away, so that defeats the purpose of using the $15 off, lol.)

http://www.moshpitculture.it/ just found this..click album on the menu..and you can save the songs

I'm watching the weekly metal show we get up here. I get to see metal videos once a week and they usually play stuff I can't get into.

Nile - Sarcophagus. WTF is he saying????????? Music's pretty decent but as soon as he starts with the bbbbbblllllllllllaaaaaaaarggggggg!!!!!! Click.

Then some other band who was really cool... Bllllaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrggggggggggg...........click.

Lamb of God is on now. I kinda lke this tune. Laid to Rest. But man... Blaaaaaaaaaaaaarggggggggggggg!!!!!! Not nearly as bad as the other 2 though.

In Flames up next. I kinda like them.

FINALLY something I like!

I just don't get it. I like vocalists who can actually sing or at least grunt. These "Blaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggg" guys do absolutely nothing for me. I enjoy it about as much as I enjoy rap.

Last video: Earth AD. I've heard garage bands better than this.

So, 5 vids of which I enjoyed 1.

*Sigh*
Rant over.

Yeah baby! My USA Hardtail adopted a sister -- a Softail.

Okay, so it's not MY DFH . I was wondering how the DFH was still playable after this...
While I'm at it remember this lol

was wondering wat are you favourite guitar riffs? it can be from any genre. mine are:

Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
Van Halen - Man on a Mission
Black Sabbath - Ironman
Pantera - Walk (had to put this in)

to be fear this guitar is bloody amazing just got a dime FBD and this one and the floyd rose is bloody amazing for doing the dime squeals and its also better than FBD one and it only costs a third of the price.

This just made me laugh uncontrollably.... OK... maybe I'm a little weird!
