The guy did some nice neck through stuff with different colored woods, but it's a bit out there shape and functionality wise.

Does anyone know when Dean merch' will be available to those outside the U.S.?

Cheers,
Ally.

I have a question that maybe some of you will have an answer to. Have you ever played a graphite neck? What are your thoughts around feel and tone? What was the fingerboard made of? I have an idea but don't want to spend a bunch of $$ to find out it sucks.

Anyone that caught our Panama on tape, could you somehow post it? Im dying to see it.

Anyone know?

My 7 year old boy is driving me crazy! He will not listen sometimes and just goes berserk! Sometimes I just want to knock his block off.... what do I do?

Dear Frustrated.... I feel your pain.

Much has been said about "tough love" for misbehaving children. Most of America's populace thinks it very improper to spank children, so a friend of mine has tried other methods to control her kids when they have one of "those moments".

One that she found very effective is to just take the child for a car ride and talk.

They usually calm down and stop misbehaving after the little car ride together.

I've included the photo below of one of the sessions, with her son, in case you would like to use the technique. Its very effective!

Best of luck!

(yes, I know it's old)

My wife and I just recently (last 2 months) purchased 3 guitars! I have the same comment about each of them.

All came out of the box fresh from the factory ---- and not one single piece of paper to been seen. No "Welcome to the Dean Guitar Family" - no "warranty info" no NOTHING... Not even web site. I mean NOTHING. I would expect SOMETHING!! How about the care and feeding of my new instrument? .. how about the care of the finish .. use steel wool every month?

Well, you get my drift. Maybe I'm the only person that thinks something is missing. Even a package of strings has SOME info on it!

(oh, I lost my Alvarez to my wife - sooo I needed a guitar and picked up the Washburn electric solid body)...

Would welcome thoughts...

Hey folks,
I was just wondering why (on average) the Tropical models are downed so often. I have a Tropical ML that's an awesome player and sounds awesome too. (after a nice pickup change that is ) I would definitely buy another one if/when I run across it. Just curious as to why they're not generally popular.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7304909069&fromMakeTrack=true

$535 with shipping.

Where did they get this one??? Looks like this person deals in scrapbooks, not guitars.

Anybody know what scale neck these took? I have a 24 3/4" scale neck I'm looking to attach to a project guitar, and haven't found a good body yet.

I came across a Superstrat body on ebay...wondering if it will work??

Where would I start with some Pat Travers. I don't believe I'm familiar with his stuff, so was looking for a good starting point.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Ally.

tiki anyone?

Hi.
I've just been recommended Pat Travers' Go for what you Know as a killer live album.

What's your other faves?

Mine (in no particular order):-

Motorhead - no sleep 'til Hammersmith
Iron Maiden - Live after death
Thin Lizzy - Live and Dangerous
Ac/dc - If you want blood...
Kiss - Alive
Accept - Kaizoku Ban
Ozzy - RR Tribute
Scorpions - World wide live

I'm sure there are many others, but it's start.

I had already heard a couple of tunes and went out and picked it up today. PRetty kicking reunion record, I'm not disappointed.
Make sure to pick up the digipak version (costs a few bucks more than the jewel case one.) It comes with an extra physical DVD (not a cd on one side and dvd on the other.) Contains a documentary and 7 live songs from last years tour.

sign on his back or something?

when that ad came out that said dime does dean, was that an ad for tropical made deans? That is around the time I bought my dean. I wanted a dean so bad because of the DFH. I thought I was buying a true dean guitar, turns out it is a tropical. Is there anyway to find out about my guitar by the serial# It is a dimebag lightning model. Is there any info about dimes endorsement with tropical? I want to know because I don't know how many were made. Kinda ticks me off though cuz I thought I was getting a dime approved dean. Sucks for me.

I heard on this forum that 81mls bodys were thinner than later models. Does anyone have the measurements for an 81ml? Thanks

PEOPLE ARE TALKIN OUT OF MY HALF STACK!! some frackin aliens snuck up inside the son of a bitch, it only does that when i have the guitar volume all the way down and the wah pedal is all the way back its crazy, maybe the ghost of dime tryin to contact me through my randall "get a krank n' dean ya ass ho"

http://snazel.com/snowblind.mp3

Can someone explain what they are - differences, features all that stuff. Looks like quite a few different flavors out there

The other dudes are gone...who wants some?

Does anyone know when these will be hitting the stores or where i can get one thanks

This is pretty funny. A translator for web pages... here's the Gizoogled Dean Forum Index!

http://sites.gizoogle.com/?url=http://www.deanguitars.com/forum/

So I listen to the metal channel on Yahoo radio all day at work. They play some excellent tunes. Pantera, Damageplan, Anthrax, Slayer, etc... and newer bands and new new songs from old faves like the new Priest tune. I really enjoy it because I get to hear a lot of different stuff.

One of my favorite bands.... Jag Panzer. They've played 2 songs every day for the last couple months. The Voyager and another which I like better but can't remember the name of! Excellent riffing going on there! I really like these guys.

How cool we happen to have a member of this band as a Dean brother!

DeanV

Is this for real ?

Dean made a USA ML Phantom with a bolt on neck ?

Any of you guys that loved the early 80's California thrash (GOOD Metallica, Exodus, Testament, Megadeth) check out our very own El Tib's MP3's. These songs are really good (IF you like metal that is!).

Gods Of Doom
Juggernaut
Saggerdance

Felice, I hope you don't mind if I posted these!

This site has been blocked from my place of work.

I hate it when that happens, now I'm gonna have to call in a favor from the guy that sits three cubes over.....dammit...I was holdin' onto that for something good!

hi..I just want an opinion about the Mighty Mite Motherbuckers or the Humbuckers....anybody ever tried these?..coz they seem to be pretty cheap..about 40CDN each.....I read some reviews @ harmony central...it seems to be pretty good....
and also because I don't think I want to upgrade my sucky squier with 'real' pickups..... don't think it'll be worth it...
thnx for any input

What do you guys think?Price is too high for me.Or is that how much there worth cuz I have no clue.Serial number is shown.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41435&item=7304536118&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

First I'm a newb to Deans but every one here as been very cool..thanks

I have found a an 82 ML Sunburst no binding not a baby model I am waiting on pics but described as a 8 out of 10. I am not a total knuckle head when comes to buying guitars but pricing deans seems a bit tricky.
So the advice I need is with the serial number checking and if the pics verify and they do have a 48 hour return policy is 1250 US to much for this guitar?

Thanks

I go bad new the other day that came in the mail. New York Music near my home in Boardman Ohio is going out of business. There a Dean dealer also so today I'll check out there selection of Deans. Now if I want Dean's I'll haveta buy off ebay or some else oh well.

Looking to buy a guitar?

A portion of the proceeds will go to the Dimebag Memorial Foundation.

Who do I send a pic of my Dean tat too so it can put in the tat page?

Was purpleburst (like DizzyDeans) ever a stock color?

My local dealer (at the time) High Country Music had a purpleburst V back in '84 or '85.

I saved for months, but they ended up selling it 3 days before I had all the money. I know.... I should have put it on layaway.

I always wondered if that guitar was a special order or if that was a stock color back then.

Mark

This may not be the place to post this, if not then please ignore it.
I didn't think the dealer section was right as it is nor a Dean product.

Anyway, finalizing the details with Framus and should have some stock in the next few weeks give or take. Starting with the amps for now. So if anyone is looking for a Cobra I'm your man

Thanks for listening

Hey anyone know where to get more pics of her or what her full name? Cuz damn shes fine.

Hey guys can anyone tell me if I can get a standard model Lefty ML with a Floyd?

Does anyone have the skills and know-how to be able to photoshop a Dean ML into the hands of the Devil Girl on this poster? Please let me know and I will e-mail you a large size image for you to work with. I would really love to have this on my wall with an ML....

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=45103&item=3879159097&rd=1

I will be forever grateful to you if you can help me with this! I think it would be killer!

I usually prefer the natural finsihes but I thought this one was kinda cool.

Looks much better than the traditional flame graphics IMO....

"Red Ghost flames"

http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/lyle_24/myhero.swf

Thought you guys might like this. Someone sent it to me..

Here is my Dean V79 guitar. It has a Schaller floyd rose tremolo and two Seymour Duncan pickups
('59 Model, neck and a Dimebucker, bridge)

Yup. Picked up this beauty at GC for a stupid low price. Has a custom solid (I think) flame maple body, Schaller tuners, and the best part, SD Antiquity pups. The pups alone cost more than I paid for the guitar. No idea what the body cost, but I'm sure it wasn't cheap. It has an Austin neck, but that's cool with me as I like Austin guitars and this one has a nice fret job. It's going to get hand rolled edges this weekend as well. The Antiquities are awesome! I'd heard of them, but never heard them. The bridge breaks up really nicely and gets downright nasty, while the neck has a good wide range of clean tones. I'm happy!

http://www.zakkwylde.com/fiddles/index.html

Been pretty lucky the past month. Picked up an Edge Q4 Archtop (tigers eye) and a Boca (Metalic Charcoal) both brand new, for a total of $545.00 . Not too Shabby I don't think. Those get added to the Dean family already consisting of an Evo, Icon SS and a Rhapsody HB 4 sting.
Plus, picked up a new Edge 1 4 string for my son for $200. Not a steal but a pretty good price.

Not bragging, just sharing .... income tax refund has been beddy beddy good to us

It's only a very rough demo, me singing (very badly) and an annoying metronome in the background HAHHAHA!

Oh well I kinda like the idea...still need a ripping lead...gonna add it soon!


It's called "Beer Bong"

http://webpages.charter.net/randallamps/walk.mp3


minor screw ups, dont really care, but it sounds pretty similar i think, anyone have any other cool tones to get out of the good ol' x2?

I played a guitar the other day that had one on there. It was sweet! Super stable tuning and a BREEZE to change strings. Every guitar with a vibrato bridge should have one!

This guys awesome. I've listen to mp3's of his on various sites. I wanted to get his stuff off ebay for awhile now it just so expensive. Heck even Dime had his "Plaid" album cover tat on his one leg. This guy is absolutely rippin check him out.

Have any of you guys tried the L500R? Im considering getting one to put in the neck with an L500XL in the bridge. The L500XLs are probably my favorite pickup but I havent used the 500Rs. Anyone used them before? Is it a good choice for the neck?

well its 1.26 am I just got back from a local 24/7 Target , i found 20 bucks under my couch and i jup on my car to get the new Priest CD, I havent listen to the whole thing but the ones I've heard are pretty cool......
i got the limited bocklet edition....$21.56

hi guys
long time dean owner, first time poster! just wondered if you could help me out? id like to know a bit more about my dean...i bought it second hand about 4 years back and the previous owner was pretty clueless. ive stuck a set of sd pearly gates in it but otherwise its stock i think. its a 24 fret, shrimpfork, set neck caddy. here it is...

http://www.deanguitars.com/userpics/lib4/caddy.jpg

can anyone help me out? i can give you the serial number if it helps?

thanks alot
sam

hi guys i need a bit of aesthetic help here!

im stuck in two minds whether to leave the hardware on my caddy gold as in the picture...to keep it unique

[url]http://www.deanguitars.com/userpics/lib4/caddy.jpg[/url]

or should i change it to silver? with black knobs? to make it more conventional...
whaddya think?
any other advice would also be appreciated!

thanks

IM FINALLY HOME FROM VACATION AND HAVE INTERNET ACCESS. DOA WAS AWESOME AS USUAL. MET SOME NEW FACES , SHARED TIME WITH OLD FRIENDS AND HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE ONCE AGAIN. I KNOW EVERYONE ELSE HAD AS MUCH FUN. I JUST THOUGHT WE NEEDED AN OFFICIAL POST. I KNOW OTHER COMPANIES OF VARIOUS OTHER ITEMS DO SOMETHING SIMILAR AS THE DOA MEETING, BUT NONE CAN DO IT AS WELL AS ELLIOT. DOA IS OVER THE TOP. I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS AGAIN. DOA RULES !!!

I'm off to see Nile next week, and this reminded me that last time I saw them they were using Dean Vs - and so I found this page:

http://www.deanguitars.com/nile.php

But haven't seen anything else anywhere.

So whats the score?

http://ibanez.com/guitars/guitar.asp?model=JEM77B

I think that finish would look great on a Hardtail or a Caddy... I'd definitely order one of those custom shop.

Hahaha im pacing!!! i cant wait til i get y rust razoerback!!!!!*paces more*

What is the most versatile/reliable amp out of all of these? I'm looking into them, you guys have me intrigued.

What have you guys been using? I'm interested in a free site like Kazaa but don't want ads or pop-ups (of course!)

Any advice would be appreciated...

Thanks!
Chuck

Here's my Transamber Del Sol (not even polished up for the picture or anything)...not quite sure what got reflected on the left hand side of these...but porn is porn!



And here is a pic of my Red Cadillac Select:



Dave at B&T says my DOA Caddy will be here this week....so more pics to follow.

anyone got any good settings for a Furman PQ-3? it`s an original and according to Furman one from the first run they made
I`m looking for the Dimebag Cowboys from Hell sound, all the others I can get what settings do you use for your sound? I just want some settings to work with, i spent all day today fiddling with it and trying to figure out if it was better infront of the amp or in the FX loop and I think i have settled on the FX loop.

My favourite (Odd spelling cuz it's an English mag, get it???) guitar mag has reviewed the USA Z and Hardtail in their March issue. They rated both 4.5 of 5 stars and really like both. Here's a couple quotes:

"....the Z Quilt and Hardtail are superb instruments that rate alongside anything made today."

"The Z...oozes class, brims with great tone and plays like a dream."

about the Hardtail: "You feel you can literally do anything on a neck this good."

"...the Z Quilt and Hardtail are as good as it gets...."

they gave the Hardtail a "Guitarist Choice" award.

Great review(s) from a great magazine. Yeah Dean!!!

OK, I know they are made of wood, metal, etc... The reason for my thread is that I am a little confused about the "Types" of wood and how different types of wood affect the cost and also the "Sound" of the guitar.

I am mainly confused about Les Paul models when I see terams such as "Flame Top" "Matched Top" etc...

This was all initiated when I asked the guitar tech at my local shop if my Epiphone LP Standard was a flame top. He replied that it was a "Simulated" flame top and that the top was a "Picture" and not actual wood grain.

My question is what are the best combinations or wood types for guitars? Are there any Epiphone LP copies that have really good craftmanship as far as the type of wood and "TOP"?

Is there a website somewhere that might explain all the diferrent types of woods ussed to make guitars?

Thx for any help.

Just curious, never heard the story.

anybody know if they make gold tailpeices and bridges for the '79 ML? If so, anybody know where to get them? Thanks in advance

Ok, I was looking for a pic tonight & found this one. I should know who this is, but don't. SO WHO IS THIS WITH P.T. & WHAT'S THE STORY?



VERY COOL. EVEN HAS A CHEAP TRICK TEE ON!!!!!

is the cavity for a floyd rose identical to that of a regular tremolo bridge (for example, a strat with a tremolo)? If so, could I rout a cavity for my '79 ML with templates for a strat with a tremolo bridge?

http://www.digitalsoundplanet.com/VirtualStudios/Listen/detail.php?eltid=26196



Sounds pretty cool for a 1987 amp don't ya think??? the lead tone is awesome......it's only too damn loud ARRGHHHH!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41435&item=7305957542&rd=1

well i have a fender jagstang
love how it plays but the bridge i hate
would it be possible to put a floyd rose in it without much trouble??

anybody know how to strip and paint a guitar. THe catch is, paint it with spray paint. I have seen pics that have been painted with spraypaint, and they look fine. Is there any kind that I shouldn't use?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41435&item=7305955602&rd=1

i found this on the JCF forum..

I'm just beginning to fully recover from our gig last night at "The Hook" in Fresno California. It was "Jaeger Night" (complete with Jaeger Girls).....and man it was a blast! Here's a pic of the Caddy and I with the Jaeger Girls, and one of the band with them as well.

~M~

tiki anyone?

Someone told me a few years ago someone made a pick guard for an AVALANCHE style (strat) that moved the volume knob away.

I like to play my sons Avalanche but really don't like where the volume knob is. This is the main reason I HATE STRAT STYLE GUITARS!!!

I'm a very sloppy player I guess.

SO, anyone know where I can find one?

Here is the guitar, DO NOT LIKE THE VOLUME LOCATION AT ALL!!!

Hi all ! I'd like to post a special announcement cuz i'm sure phantom has forgot but i'd like to take this chance to Salute his grandparents. WoW! Get this my parents, today celebrated their 51 st Wedding Anniversary wow if we all could only be as lucky i thought it is pretty cool and they have every right to be proud. Also i'd like to say Happy Birthday to Travis and his Dad as they are both celebrating their birthdays this month . thnx

Madre reminded me that I hadn't shared some news of my own. My wife and I have decided NOT to get divorced. 21 years of marriage was just too much to put aside. We've had some looooooong discussions lately, things that needed to be said for many years. It's been a good week!

I remember a while back Tom (and a few others I think) we're interested in the Fostex MR-8 digital recorder. I recall that memory card compatibility was a potential issue.

I wanted to report that I upgraded mine to the latest bios, which supports a wider variety of compact flash cards.

I then went to Sams Club and purchased a cheap ($70?) 1 gig compact flash card.

Works great in the MR-8!

Mark

Yup, Talked to Dave this morning and my Avalanche One will be
headed my way today or tomorrow. Hope UPS doesn't manage to screw this delivery up. They have botched the last couple and I don't want this to end up setting outside someplace til I can track it down.

I at this time am not a Dean owner yet, but from listening to Dime and all of you talk about how sweet they are, i will be getting one very soon. Maybe it's just me but i turn on the radio now and find myself wanting to stab my eye out and run over it. That way i don't have to see what i'm listening to. I'm tired of people whining, kind of funny because that's exactly what i'm doing now, but i was just wondering if anyone else had any thoughts on new music being complete crap.

Hey Guys!
Just wondering do any of the Dean Acoustic Guitars come with Solid tops? And/or Solid Wood Back and Sides?
Or do all Dean acoustics have a Wood Veneer back and sides?

If so which ones have what? It doesn't say in any of the product literature.


Thanks!

I've always loved synthesizers, even though they don't show up much in my music.

I've got 7 synths. Either rackmount or keys.

I haven't even turned them on in 6 months.

Software synths have become amazing! These $50 and $100 little virtual synths sound bigger, better and more interesting then my $$$$$ hardware.

What's next in music technology???

Mark

I was adjusting the intonation on my ML and every time I held the note on the 12th fret the pitch steadily dropped. Is this from the strings not being stretched enough? I eventually got it but the dropping note seemed kind of weird and never happened to me before. I tried to hold steady pressure on it and tested the notes all the way up the board. (same thing)

I am using a Korg DT-1 Rackmounted tuner.

I shipped a model car to a guy through Fed Ex Ground. The model got obliterated in shipping. I filed a claim with Fed ex and they had me fill out a whole big form which I had to fill out and send in. I received a check from them in the full amount before I mailed the info in.

Really: Eff UPS, Ship Fed EX.

anybody dealt with them? What do you think? As good as B&T? Is B&T worth a little bit more?

Every once and a while I go to the main page and have a look around. Well, tonight I went into the "Show us your tats" area and was BLOWN AWAY!! I mean - I've seen tats before - but never one like this. Talk about art!!!!!

I'm sure someone may have posted this before, but I never saw it before!!!

Holy Crap!!!

http://www.deanguitars.com/submityourtats.php

Just ordered it today from music123 for $1699.99. Now I can't wait too get it, my Razorback and Dime-o-flame.

I have a friend that works in a vintage guitar shop here in town. This guys been working on all my guitars for years. He's outstanding.

I called him up last week and said that I wanted to bring in my '79 V. I asked him to set it up and swap out any parts he feels need it. He mentioned that the '79's are very good guitars but maybe he'll look into pickups, tuners, nut and bridge.

I've got Duncan Distortions in my '79 so he didn't need to do anything with the pickups.

He called me last night and said the guitar was done. I asked him what I owe him. 'Nothing', he said.

He said that while I certainly could upgrade some of the hardware if I wanted to, he didn't think it was needed. His words 'This thing's got some decent hardware on it. Nothing like what I expected. These guitars are a bargain for what they sell 'em for'.

Mark

I've probably asked this question before, but I think we've got a lot of new people here.

Everytime I see a photo of that guitar it calls out 'Buy me......Buy me......Buy me......'.

Hey guys. Dime is on the cover of this month´s Guitar world and guitar player...just thought you´d all like to know that Dean is getting some recognition and Dime´s getting some much diserved farewells.

Well, not pointy the way you guys would think, but this could be a deadly serious weapon. Some of you older (I mean *real older* guys may remember this model from back in the day. It wasn't the best made git at the time (actually far from it) but this reissue is excellent in every way.

I got this a few weeks ago, did a complete setup (the one from the dealer was fine, but just not for me) and what I thought would be a very interesting P-90 guitar ended up being just outstanding.

I've never owned a black guitar for the simple reason I just don't like that color (technically not a *color*, I know) but this guitar in black really caught my eye so after over 40 years I have now gone over to the "dark" side.

Here's a link....the pics look no different than what I could do...

http://www.myrareguitars.com/tokaihummingbird.html

where your copy of the new BLS CD is? Mine is in my CD player in my car and it SMOKES!

IT WHALES AND IT RAWKS!!!!!!!!

Another decent score on Ebay. I'm not a big fan of Les Paul shaped guitars, but figured for the $159 bin, what the heck.
I need to restring her and play with the action a bit and will give a little more on how I feel about this axe. And maybe if it stops snowing I can get some light in here to take a picture with.

At the very top left it sez: 'We do not shop overseas.'

if you are not using planet wave trim loc tuners you have to try them they are so much better than anything out there even sperzels. i put a set on my belaire and on my les paul knock of and i can't believe the difference from my old sperzels.. one of the features that i like ( besides keeping perfect tune) is that they trim the strings for you when you tighten them... and on top of it all... they are cheaper than sperzels..

They aren't pictured under electrics anymore.

Please say it isn't so.....

I dont know if this was on a album cover or something, An Eagle holding a LesPaul and a pair of drumsticks in it's talons.
If anyone knows what I'm talking about Please let me know, post a link, pic or tell me wheres it from.
Thanks Chop

Meinefinker and myself had the pleasure of playing at our local Guitar Center's Guitarmageddon 2005. Neither of us knew the other was going to be there! Man, can he rip it up! Had a few people inquiring about my new Dean too. Most were surprised that Dean Guitars still existed. Meinefinker's guitar sounded awesome. He has a Frankenstein Tele from Hell complete with an 'F' hole. He sounded really good, and can he play!

The competition was pretty fierce, there were some really good guitarists playing. Suffice to say, neither of us go on to the next part of the competition. So it goes. Although one of the guys picked was one of my choices, so everything seemed pretty up and up.

The amps that they had sounded pretty weak. AVOID THE MARSHALL MODE FOUR - YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. For the price Marshall wants for that hamburger frier you can get yourself a really good Splawn Quickrod. They really should have had the sound set up before hand too. Some contestants had difficulty as they could not hear either themselves or the track playing.

I got home at about 9PM, had a bite to eat and then recorded what I played in a take - be kind, it is kind of sloppy. I wanted to capture what I played as I just came up with it this past Sunday and will probably use some of it for a song that we are writing.

Thor's Submission

The idea of the competition is that Guitar Center supplies contestants with a CD of 18 backing tracks and you are supposed to chose one and play something along with it. I thought I would do something a little different as I figured people were just going to shred all over the place (and in fact some did - but they were really cool d00ds!). I am glad that I did it as I had never done a guitar competition before and most likely won't ever again. Special Ed (our bassist) said I was probably going to lose to a six year old. The greatest thing was that Meinefinker and I traded phone numbers, so now I've have yet another local guitar buddy!

-- edit --
I recorded the piece on the Fostex MR-8 using my TC V through a V-Amp2 with no effects (to late to hook up the Powerball and mics!). I was tempted to double the part too, but I figured that I wanted to hear it as the crowd heard it.

Just wanted to say hey all ! The band is in Italy and thanks to a very nice girl named Zeta I can check in.

Spreading the word about Dean guitars and have met some great people. And a few Dean fans. Haven a blast and Rocken out in Europe. We also had a great time in Canada Poland and Germany.

Following ANTHRAX's example, both TESTAMENT and LAAZ ROCKIT have confirmed appearances at this year's Dynamo Open Air festival in their classic '80s lineups. TESTAMENT lead vocalist Chuck Billy and founding guitarist Eric Peterson will be joined by original guitar player Alex Skolnick and original bassist Greg Christian (HAVOCHATE), along with previous TESTAMENT drummer Johnny Tempesta (HELMET, ex-ROB ZOMBIE). Meanwhile, LAAZ ROCKIT will reportedly appear in their classic formation of Mike Coons (vocals), Aaron Jellum (guitar), Phil Kettner (guitar), Willy Lange (bass) and Victor Agnello (drums). The Dynamo Open Air festival billing is shaping up as follows:

ANTHRAX
TESTAMENT
LAAZ ROCKIT
OBITUARY
GOREFEST
JON OLIVA'S PAIN
MASTERPLAN
EVERGREY
3 INCHES OF BLOOD
TRIVIUM
MERCENARY

Dynamo Open Air 2005 is scheduled to take place on May 7 in Hellendoorn, the Netherlands.

hey, can any1 tell me where exactly are the standard X series deans made. im selling a Z on ebay and some1 wants to know but im not sure. cheers.

Does any one know what year the fake bill lawrence pickups started being manufactured? 80's or90's. What is a sure way to tell if theyare made by the man himself or a reproduction? I know the fake one's have bill lawrence usa stamped on them.

Just wanted to give a heads up, even thought I htink you're all smart enough to figure it out for yourself. Plus I wanted to give a thanks to WebGuy/Pete for changing it for me.

P.S. Why the ear man is from Fight Club. And my name that I use on most forums.

Sorry if this is known info. When will the DOA V's be produced? Is it still possible to order one? If so who do I contact? I have not been keeping up with the news on the guitar as I did not plan on buying one but you know how that goes! Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I caught this fish this morning in the Tigres River. I had to come down south for a few days and the house Im staying in overlooks the Tigres. We caught a bunch of carp this morning just messing around. I thought Id post a pic or two to prove that there are fish in the desert.

What dimarzio models are in the 3 pickup Caddy?

One is a superD, what are the other 2?

I just got done setting up the Evo I picked up on Ebay. Got the action set up where I like it, and seem to have 3 dead spots. 14th and 6th fret on the G string and one somewhere else on another string (don't have the guitar in front of me right now to check)
All the string ring nicely with no noise open or in any other spots (except if I bend a different string into the dead zone)
This mean I have a fret too high at the dead area? If so, could it mean it came loose and rose? or needs to be filed down a bit in this area?

A little while back I had posted a story of kids at a nearby High School wanting to have bands a talent show. After a bunch of crap, the school decided to let them. This is the cool part....... Dee Snider(Twisted Sister) got wind of this. He 's a Philadelphia DJ now. He was bitchin on the air about this school not letting, and the kids having to beg and plead their case to have live bands. So he's gonna show up at the talent show. Apparently one of the bands does "We're not Gonna Take it". He said he "might even join them on stage... if asked". How cool woud that be..

While this may well be a case of me showing my ignorance, I'm wondering what the concensus is on the subject of bypassing the tone controls on a guitar.

Ian at DOA mentioned that he felt a significant gain in tone quality was gained by getting rid of his tone pots from the signal chain in one of his guitars. Seemed interesting. Then I read in my current GUITARIST that, in 2 separate articles, both Slash ("electronics are bypassed...for a direct link from pickup to output") AND Glen Tipton ("Gibson SG's..have been re-wired to have both tone controls deactivated") have modified wirings.

So the question is, what gives? Are there specific cases where this is a good idea? Are most tone controls a generic "off the shelf" part that can get in the way of TONE?

Well, I have added the Roland Cube 60 to my collection of toys. It's a nice little practice amp, it does what I need it to. To top it off, it's LOUD. Loudest little 60W amp I have ever heard. Some of the amp models on here are bad like the 5150 model and the Marshall stack model. My personal favorite is the Mesa Rectifier model, although I don't think it sounds anything like a Mesa Rectifier. It's fun to mess around with and I have yet to hook it up to my Marshall cab and crank it up some, though. If any of you have some settings that are fun to mess with, let me know and I'll try them out.

Sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

Got a chance to catch Vai in Memphis Tuesday while traveling on business. As expected he was excellent. 2 hour set plus Eric Sardinas opened with his electric dobro. Sardinas even hung out in the lobby during inermission and was very cool sign autographs, talking and even chatting with my friend's son over the cell phone since the kid couldn't make it to the show. Billy Sheehan was amazing too. If you get a chance to see this show it is worth the trip.

OK. SO MY BAND IS SELLING OUT . WHO CARES BUT ANYWAYS MADE THIS SOLO ON THE DEMO FOR THE SONG TODAY. COMPLETE WITH DRUM MACHINE AHAHAH, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF THIS LEAD ? THIS IS JUST THE LEAD PART. ILL LET YOU HEAR THE SONG WHEN ITS FINISHED . THOUGHT ID SHARE THIS RIGHT NOW.

Did you know that the human body produces its own supply of alcohol naturally on a continous basis, 24 hours a day, seven days a week?

Did you know that the world's oldest known recipe is for beer?
The word "toast," meaning a wish of good health, started in ancient Rome, where a piece of toasted bread was dropped into wine.

Vikings used the skulls of their enemies as drinking vessels.

Anyone under the age of 21 who takes out household trash containing even a single empty alcohol beverage container can be charged with illegal possession of alcohol in Missouri.

While there wasn't any cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, or pumpkin pie to eat at the first Thanksgiving, there was beer, brandy, gin, and wine to drink.

Of Texas' 254 counties, 79 are still completely dry seven decades after the Repeal of Prohibition. Many of the remaining counties are "moist" or partially dry. Some permit one form of alcohol beverage but not another, some prohibit on-premise consumption (except for private clubs), some permit (believe it or not) on-premise but no off-premise consumption, and some have other strange variations, often directly across the street from each other.

Many high school cafeterias in Europe serve alcohol to their students who choose to drink.

McDonald's restaurants in some European countries serve alcohol because otherwise parents would be less willing to take their children to them.

Flying While Intoxicated - Some birds haven't learned when to say when. Thousands of Waxwing birds in Sweden became intoxicated by gourging on fermenting berries. About 50 lost their lives by flying into nearby windows.

The U.S. has the strictest youth drinking laws in Western civilization.

While in some countries the penalty for driving while intoxicated can be death (yes, death), in Uruguay intoxication is a legal excuse for having an accident while driving. "Please believe me officer, I really was drunk."

It's illegal in Utah to advertise drink prices, alcohol brands, to show a "drinking scene," to promote happy hour, to advertise free food, or for restaurants to furnish alcohol beverage lists unless a customer specifically requests one

The Aztec of Mexico used a "rabbit scale" to describe degrees of intoxication. It ranged from very mild intoxication (a few rabbits) to heavy drunkenness (400 rabbits).

The highest price ever paid for distilled spirits at auction was $79,552 for a 50-year-old bottle of Glenfiddich whisky in 1992.

Although the French wine, "Fat Bastard," is now distributed in 22 states in the US. both Texas and Ohio have b@nned its sale within their borders.

Don't plan on running a "tab" in Iowa; it's illegal.

The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is b@nned in Texas because it contains a recipe for making beer that can be used at home.

Texas state law prohibits taking more than three sips of beer at a time while standing.

In Houston, Texas, beer many not be purchased after midnight on Sunday, but can be purchased anytime on Monday...which happens to begin right after midnight on Sunday! So it's illegal to buy it when its legal to buy it?

Ohio state law prohibits getting a fish drunk.

In Fairbanks, Alaska, it's illegal to feed a moose any alcohol beverage.

It's illegal to sit on any street curb in St. Louis, Missouri, and drink beer from a bucket.

I think he would be a great addition for the next incarnation of G3. Would be some more great for Michael to get some more fans and would be excellent to go check out MAB live again, plus I'm sure the Batio, Satch and Vai would be unbelievable. Not to mention seeing some more Deans in the spotlight wouldn't hurt at all.

I know that many of you can help me out with this.

Today is the big day. I've been waiting for years for this day. It's the day where I get the ball rolling on a custom Dean.

Most of you have several of these, but I've always just bought Deans off the shelf. I've wanted a custom one since I was 17. I'm VERY excited!

Here's where I need help -

I don't know the different between the series headstocks.

I don't know about different binding.

There is probably a lot more that I don't even know that I should know about.

Here's what I like -

I LOVE the Water V. What specs does it have?

Thor's V is incredible. Whats specs on that one?

Any help on educating me on the finer points of high-end Deans is MUCH appreciated!

Hi.

Shameful as it is to admit, I don't own any BLS albums.
I've got a compilation of 25 or so songs a friend gave to me but I want to get my hands on his albums. I've got most of his stuff with Ozzy, but I would like a few starting points for BLS material.

Any pointers appreciated.

Hi...

Maybe it's just me...
I have both "Images and Words" and "Awake" and I have listened to a few of the other albums. I have really, really been trying to like Dream Theater, but I just can't stand it???
I mean, Petrucci can play, and he is a really huge talent, but come on... the music???
I just can't seem to get into it...

Am I the only one?????

Just curious who lives up this way? I am in MN and it is damn cold. bRRRRRRRRRR

I just ordered my DOA V from Dave at B & T, now the waiting begins

Hi there Dean Community, I just got my new Dean Performer Denim "faded black" in and the thing is paaaarrrdy and sounds great.

But the one thing is the set up on it is a little whacked. The strings in the upper octaves are almost a 1/2 and inch off the neck, the strings are fine by the nut. I didn't expect it to have the best set up on it, but is seems way out. IMO

I haven't had an acoustic in a very long time and never have worked on one. Will sanding the bridge down some solve this issue? I have done set-up's on electrics, just havent worked on a acoustic before.

BE CAREFUL, THIS IS VERY ADDICTING!
Now, don't spend all day with this game.
It's very addictive....This is a REDNECK VIDEO GAME

Inspired by Thor's thread and thank you meinefinker
for the link and Bloodroot for coming up with the idea of having a DOA competition.

DOCOZZ has volunteered to be a judge, looking for 2 more. Anyone that decides to be a judge can't submit a tune.
No prizes other than a big ATTABOY (or ATTAGIRL)
Just pick a backing track, record something over it and submit to DOAGuitarmageddon@yahoo.com (have 200 megs, pls keep things in MP3 format and file sizes to a few megs)
Name the file your username_catagory.mp3
I will then rename the files and send the judges (as to avoid bribes and whatnot)
Any ideas on 3 catagories we can use to judge the submissions on?
Best Shredfest Wankering (Satch, Vai, Malmsteen)
Best Emotional Feely Solo (David Gilmore, Gary Moore, etc)
Best Way Out There (Guitar affects are fun to use!)

Something along those lines. Looking for 2 more judges and some suggestions on better catagories, or someone to donate prize(s) if they'd like.

The Backing Tracks.

Here's a few pics, tell me what you think.

Hey,

Can anyone tell me where I can get some replacement parts for my ML? I need a new V shaped tail piece in black . Mine is pretty battered up. Also someone replaced the round plate for the jack with a chrome one. so I want a black one for that. I have looked on ebay and have not found much. I have read on here that the tail piece is a different size from standard on the Deans. Thanks for the help!

This is the stuff that made me like Buckethead.... I wish he would have played like this when I saw him live.

I don't how many of you have seen this before so I thought I'd post it up.
I've seen it before and I believe it's been flying around the interweb for some time now but the quality always been really poor. This version is quality though, and it looks like more of the same to come if I've read correctly from the website.

Try this link:

If it doesn't work go to :

then just select the downloads section and look for the Crazy train video.

It's great to see Randy, and one of Dimes biggest influences in glorious technicolour.

Cheers and enjoy,

For some reason, every time I check this website, I always find myself looking at this guitar.

I have a Razorback 2tone on order, & I can't wait to get it. I think I will save up & get this ML too, eventually.

Hey guy's,
Can some of you post your Dime wallpapers for me?

I need a favor !!
My neighbor has a puppy he's giving away (FREE!).
It's a Dachshund, it's house broken,
and it's great with kids.

He's giving it away because his wife
says the dog 'stares' at her, and
that gives her the 'Heebie Jeebies'.

If you're interested, or know someone who is, let me know.
Here's a picture of the dog.

Subject: The Ranch Hand




A successful rancher died and left everything to his devoted wife. She was a

very good-looking woman, and determined to keep the ranch, but knew

very little about ranching, so she decided to place an ad in the newspaper

for a ranch hand. Two men applied for the job. One was @#$%&$@ and the other a drunk.

She thought long and hard about it, and when no one else applied she decided

to hire the @#$%&$@ guy, figuring it would be safer to have him around the house than the drunk.

He proved to be a hard worker who put in long hours every day and knew a lot

about ranching. For weeks, the two of them worked, and the ranch was doing

very well.

Then one day, the rancher's widow said to the hired hand,

"You have done a really good job, and the ranch looks great. You should go

into town and kick up your heels."

The hired hand readily agreed and went into town one Saturday night.

One o'clock came, however, and he didn't return. Two o'clock, and no hired

hand.

He returned around two-thirty, and upon entering the room, he found the

rancher's widow sitting by the fireplace with a glass of wine, waiting for


him. She quietly called him over to her.

"Unbutton my blouse and take it off," she said. Trembling, he did as she

directed. "Now take off my boots." He did as she asked, ever so slowly.

"Now take off my socks." He removed each gently and placed them neatly by her

boots. "Now take off my skirt." He slowly unbuttoned it, constantly watching

her eyes in the fire light. "Now take off my bra." Again, with trembling

hands, he did as he was told and dropped it to the floor. "Now," she

said, "take off my panties." By the light of the fire, he slowly pulled them

down and off.

Then she looked at him and said, "If you ever wear my clothes into town

again, you're fired."

I have my first solo album coming out in June!

It´s called CODE OF PERFECTION!

Michael Angelo Batio plays guitar on it!

Check it out - it rocks!

Thank you!
TK

i'll just copy and paste what I've put on the dallasentertainment.com boards....

that was a great f'ing show!

Me and my friend were probably 15ft from the stage, about right inbetween Zakk and James...right on the edge of the pit.

Anyway, we didn't get there till about 15minutes before BLS took the stage. My friend who was driving got off work late, so we didnt leave Tucson till almost 7...and then there was absolutely NO parking at the venue, so we had to park quite a ways away, took us about 25 minutes to walk from the truck to the venue...that's a long walk after a long drive! But definitley worth all the effort.

As soon as we got there, we got in the beer line, double fisted some brews, and made our way onto the floor just as BLS was starting up.

This was my first time to see BLS and I was very excited..and when I left, I wasn't dissapointed at all. Seeing Zakk rip his guitar to shreads live was amazing. I got the same feeling watching him as I did every time I witnessed Dime do the exact same thing.... I have now seen the two guitarists that I have looked up to the most for years do what they do best.
setlist:

Stoned & Drunk
Destruction Overdrive
Been A Long Time
Funeral Bell
Suffering Overdue
In This River
Suicide Messiah
Demise Of Sanity
Spread Your Wings
Spoke In The Wheel (3/4ths of the way through it becomes a full band arrangement)
Fire It Up
Stillborn
Genocide Junkies

I thought the set list rocked...

If you want to see a bunch of big sweaty angry/pumped/drunk metal heads get emotional? Look around while Zakk is talking about Dime and how "In This River" will forever be Dime's song...add in 3 VERY emotional guitar solos (beginning, middle, end) and damn..I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a little choked up during that song, it seriously gave me the chills listening to it and watching Zakk play his heart out...I was wearing my Dime tribute shirt, and I was holding it in the air pretty much the whole time. He was definitley there with us last night...

Also before Spoke In The Wheel, everyone else left the stage and Zakk busted out a nice little acoustic classical guitar shredding for a few minutes, then proceeded to play Spoke In The Wheel...then, as noted in the setlist, the rest of the band came back onstage and finished out the song.

One last note about the show, it was VERY cool of NICK to be rockin the Dime guitars onstage...he did them justice, and it was really cool to see those guitars up on stage, where they belong.

All in all, the show rocked!! and it was sold out show, so if BLS is comin near you, do yourself a favor and get tickets *early* and go enjoy a GREAT show!

check out this b.s. About 3 or so years ago when my girlfriend(future wife) came up pregnant, I didn't have a job so I ended up pawning my dean, 2 amp heads, and a 4x12 cab for 200 bucks so we could pay the electric bill. Well, I got my dean and cab back recently, so I need a head. I went to the pawn shop where I had pawned the stuff at, and there was one of the heads I had pawned. originally, I got this head at a music go round and traded an ancient flanger and 15 bucks for it. The pawn shop has this Road brand head priced at 199.00! I pawned everything for 200! Crazy small town B.S. man. Anyway, still got no head

Here's my work in progress. This is the neck I picked up that you guys say is probably tropical, maybe from an Elite. It has no serial # and no markings whatsoever, not even on the tuners. Has a nice satin finish on the maple though and has a good feel.

Ive just had an idea! - where can i get a ML body blank set neck with truss rod and routing? if i can get one in the uk id be very pleased. -what kinda price would it be with it in that state? oh also with frets. Just so i can do my own paint and hardware.

Right on the front page is a link. Very Cool Tune from 2003's Special One.

Dean Guitars has added another endorser to there roster Ron Keel. Ron currently is fronting his own band Iron Horse and is formerly of 80's bands Steeler(w/Y.Malmsteen) and Keel (The Right To Rock). Iron Horse is a combination of country,southern rock and metal blended together(Lynryd Skynryd with a metal edge). If you get the chance check out their new album "Bring It On". Below is a link about the endorsment on Ron's site plus a link to the Iron Horse website.

I had already posted this in a thread about UPS... but here it is again in case you missed it. Very entertaining to see stuff get destroyed!

http://www.ssiworld.com/watch/watch-en.htm

Has anyone heard or seen this? I stumbled across this website while bored at work. Is this for real? How is it?

http://www.greatkat.com/

The Avalanche One has arrived. UPS managed to deliver it to the wrong location AGAIN, but my neighbor graciously took it in for me. I am suprised to say the least. This is the second Avalanche Ive owned, I bought the first one used and it was a piece of crap. After some research and talking to Dave at B&T I decided to try another one. No comparison at all like a totally different guitar. This thing came setup the way I like it and plays very nice. The body is heavier than the first one which is a big plus and the tone is killer. I have been playing some strats before I decided to buy this axe and I have to tell ya, I could not afford the Fender that it would take to beat this baby. THANKS DAVE!!!!! My son just gave me his old digital camera so I will be posting some guitar porn soon. After I figure the camera out of course If you are in the market for a Dean call Dave he's the best.

I have yet another foolish question. What is the format that CDs are created in? What would I have to do to convert MP3 files so that they would play on a standard CD player? I used to know stuff like this but after the accident I have trouble remembering it. On the plus side though I play better. I think, I really don't remember.

He's back, late April his new album will be release though Sharpnel Records. From the sounds of mp3'2 on his website its classic Jake E. Lee we all know and love from his Ozzy and Badlands days.
Granted the whole album is covers but at least hes out making albums again. Heres the set list for the album:
"WAY BACK TO THE BONE"(TRAPEZE GLENN HUGHES OLD BAND)
"I'LL BE CREEPIN"(FREE)
"LOVE IS WORTH BLUES"(LESLIE WEST)
"EVIL"(CACTUS)
"I'LL BE TUMBLIN(GRAND FUNK RAILROAD)
"HARD WAY TO GO"(SAVOY BROWN)
"WOMEN"(JAMES GANG)
"ROCK CANDY"(MONTROSE)
" GUESS I'LL GO AWAY"(JOHNNY WINTER)
"WISKEY TRAIN"(PROCOL HAREM)
"I CAN'T STAND IT"(ROBIN TROWER)
and finally Jakes band on this release:
Chris Logan(msg)vocals
Tim Bogart bass(vanilla fudge, jeff beck)
Ansely Dunbar drums(whitesnake,journey) etc.
I cant wait the mp3's on his site JakeELEE.COM sound awesome.

OK.. I can understand certain words getting blipped out.. but why do they censor the following words:

B.a.n.n.e.d

S.h.u.t.

D.u.m.b

I just picked up Frances the Mute,their new album. And it BLEW me away. Amazing band,amazing musicianship. I highly recomened picking this up if you haven't.

(ps. i may be able to supply a few tracks to those interested,but listen,you didnt hear me say that)

well my school jazz band went on a trip yesterday to Weatherford College of music and fine arts for a jazz seminar type thing were every band played and then had a private critique from one of the "profressional" jazz instructors. After that they broke off and every one went to master classes, it was cool because guitar bass and drums were all back in the aduitorium together.

After that was done we drove to a mall up the interstate aways and we got spend about an hour there, which in a way was kind of pointless beacuse the mall was huge, i though for sure i was going to get lost or something but it turned out good.

Then we went back to weatherford to listen to a selected high school band play, a 5 a school from Kileen made it (i think they were from kileen oh well) anyways by then i was really tired and had heard all the jazz i wanted to, but the evening concert started at 8:30 and didn't end till like 10:30.

That was probably the longest time i have ever spent in a bus in my life, 4 hours each way, we didn't home till 2 in the morning, . It was really cool though i learned a lot of stuff and i know that it will help with my overall guitar playing not just jazz.
And also i ended up with a girlfriend, that made things soo much better.

Well i though i would share my expericence and if you ever get a chance to see or hear real jazz stuff, it does help out with, wether you like the music or not.

What kind of pickups are in Caddys (the U.S. TC models). The specs aren't up on the site.

Also, for those that saw the 2-pup Exotic Redwood Caddy at Dean, I have a question for you -

I like the redwood tops I've seen on Hardtails, but they don't floor me. But the redwood top on the 3-pup Caddy shown here on the site is INCREDIBLE. The difference (to me) is that the redwood top on the Caddy looks like a figured maple pattern. It's not simply stripes in the wood. The redwood hardtail looks more like stripes.

Any help appreciated.

Back in '96 or so, I wrote that I draw alotta inspiration from watching this guy win motorcycle races in a record's liner notes. I beleive he'll get a mention in the new one, too! Another Daytona Trophy for the winningest A.M.A. Rider in it's history. Still a gas to watch!

Anyone have a decent website with some classical guitar scales that I can work on? Would like to try and get an old Randy Rhoades vibe in some of the material I'm writing so it'll come in handy. Thanks dudes. \m/

BTW, dropped a Dimebucker in my ML Select....Christ does this thing rip now!!

Is it just me or does modern day metal make you almost embarrased to watch it? Whats up with all the makeup and crappy vocals? I have been watching or at least trying to watch Headbangers Ball and I have to keep changing the channel. All the music sounds the same, and its just some douche screaming as hard as he can with no change of tone in his voice at all. Then you have these wankers in their leather and cool makeup. Please. Just watched a band called Behemoth. What a load of crap. Lets ride the double bass pedal for the whole song and "sing" like a really long burp. Man, time for a metal revolution. Metal is getting as predictable as pop and rap.

End of rant...

I stumbled across this guy on the internet... heard some of his MP3 samples on Guitar9.com and found his CD on ebay because it was out of stock at Guitar9. This guy is amazing. Reminds me of Allan Holdsworth.

Imagine Creed... playing 24-7 for weeks..

This is really cool. It reminds me a lot of the Moser guitars that Bloyd posted...



I love those Iron Cross inlays. I wonder if Dean would put those on an ML?

Hi.
Anyone have any thoughts on this amp?

They're hard as hell to get a hold of in the UK.

Cheers,
Ally.

Gonna go see Steve from 7th row in the Tampa Theater. It is at an old movie theater. Seating is very intimate. Hope I can get a couple shots. Take a few lessons while I'm at it too. Great players coming to town in the next few weeks. Pat Travers, Slash, Zack, and a few others. Steve kinda kicks it off.

I have an old vintage amp that I'm in the process of restoring (most likely not to original specs.. just trying to get it to work!) The original speaker is a single 10" 4 ohm and I was wondering if I can replace it with an 8 ohm? If so, will it affect anything or do you recommend trying to find a replacement 10" 4 ohm?

Another real pain has been finding vintage Mollard tubes. Man these things can get expensive!

Thanks!

My 7 year old son got in trouble in school the other day for stomping on ketchup packets and spraying it all over some girls. Including my daughter!!!! When I asked him why he did it he said it was "cool". hehe. Is that not just classic!!!!!!!

I was just wondering... I have been looking at what I should pick up for my rig next and I've decided a tube amplifier is next. I'm looking to spend just around $1000 and I have been looking at the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifiers, Peavey JSX, and the Marshall JCM 900. Are there any others I should try to make an effort to try out? Any personal experiences with these products? I play stuff like Filter, Tool, A Perfect Circle, and whatnot.

I have been gone a couple days so please excuse me if this has been covered already, but what's the story with this guitar?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41435&item=7307251617&rd=1

I have never heard of this model. I assume it is Korean made, but to me the picture looks like a TC. Anyone have any information to share?

Thanks.

Dana

P.S. The auction says $7 for shipping

I have been playing around with alternate tunings and wondered what others like...Got a favorite or an unusual one that's cool?

Gawdahmighty! I've just spent the weekend with a Line-6 Vetta II Head and my old AMPEG V-4 4X12 Stereo Cabinet! This amp must be MINE! I tell ya, I had given up on this digital hoopla, but this one is as wickid azza bastard! The last few years I've been a Strat and Tube amp kinda guy, using the selector switch and knobs for effects. I had forgotten whatta rush it iz to hear a well-processed guitar sound. Nice stereo effects with delay taps coming from left and right. My ears are ringing, and my wifes' and kids's prolly are too! I better sweet talk the checkbook outta her hands, cuz this amp is staying here!


PS: the eVos are perfect for this thing!

so how many are there?

hi all, was wondering if anyone knew of any dean dealers in australia (especially left handed deans), if not, anywhere in the world as i am planning on buying another dean guitar (YES I AM ADDICTED)

dasf

Ive been looking for pictures of the Dean 79 MLF

in ..

Brazilla Burst
Cherry Sunburst
and Black

But I cant seem to find any..can of you guys help me out.

Only one i found was the one on this site

Sucks!

I wired up and EVO with coil splitting switches and it was terrible. I was convinced that something must be wrong.... but I checked the operation of it and it was definitely splitting the humbuckers... but it sounded like total crap!

With the 500XL pickup in the bridge, the sound did not change much... just got a little weaker when "split", but it certainly did not sound like any good single coil pickup I own on a Strat or a Telecaster!.The Pearly Gates in the neck position was terrible split. the volume dropped out so far that it sounded weird when it was fighting my noise gate... even with the noise gate off it sounded weak and pathetic.

It makes sense though... since the Pearly Gates neck pickup measures at about 7.4K ohms with both coils in series.. one can expect an anemic pickup with less than 4K ohms on the windings of half of the pickup. A good "vintage" style single coil Strat pickup is wound to around 6.5K.

The 500 XL "worked" when split... but sounded like a weak 500XL. I could see no application for that tone either. A Telecaster or Strat bridge pickup has tons of "bite"... half of a 500XL had an acceptabe tone... but sounded like a dumbed-down version of a single coil. Not good enough for me.

After four hours of fadoodling with it, I cut the switching pots out with wire cutters and threw them into the trash where they belong. Tomorrow it will be wired with two volume knobs and no tone control.

I have never heard a coil splitter that I liked and this was definitely no exception. It seems like the switch robs tone from the circuit even when the coils are both on. This explains why I hated the sound of the 2500-3500 dollar PRS guitars that I tried at Guitar Center... they all had a 5 position rotary switch that sounded like crap no matter where I turned it.

Ok I know this is a lng post but I haven't had a digital camera before so I have some catching up to do.

When the kid gave me the camera he may have created a monster.

I've noticed, when looking at pictures of Dean's with floyd rose trems, that they don't have the string retainers. I was wondering if anybody else noticed this, or knew why they didnt have the string retainers.

my boss can just eat s#%t.. i hate him as a mater of fact he can eat the peanuts and raisins out of my s#%t. any one elst hate their s#%t bag of a boss.

Show me some of the weird concept guitars youve made - if you have, i would love to have an ML with four points.... thatd be well cool- but look at this- looks cool, http://www.deanguitars.com/userpics/lib4/weird french guitar.jpg

Here's a bunch to get started....

What is the difference between a Harley and a Hoover ?
The position of the dirt bag.

Why is air a lot like grox?
Because it's no big deal unless you're not getting any.

What do you call a smart blonde?
A golden retriever.

What's the difference between a girlfriend and wife?
45 lbs.

What's the difference between a boyfriend and husband?
45 minutes.

Why is it so hard for women to find men that are sensitive, caring, and good-looking?
Because those men already have boyfriends.

What did the blonde say when she found out she was pregnant?
"Are you sure it's mine?"

Why does Mike Tyson cry during grox?
Mace will do that to you .

Why did OJ Simpson want to move to West Virginia ?
Everyone has the same DNA.

Why do men find it difficult to make eye contact?
Breasts don't have eyes.

Did you hear about the Chinese couple that had a retarded baby?
They named him "Sum Ting Wong.

i was in the car going to the store earlier today and the station is WAAF and they have an indoor beach party and BLS is headlining it.
it gets better.
ive heard talk of damageplan being there with zakk on guitar and theyre gonna cover all pantera and damageplan songs
and i think im going with my dad!im psyched

the other bands playing are
Skindred
Nonpoint
Dropbox
Killswitch Engage

this sounds pretty killer about the damageplan thing plus killswitch is pretty good
its april 9th
ill post about it if i go

This might be a silly question....

Anyone know of a brand of pickguard that will fit without trouble on the 79 V? I'm in the middle of doing some upgrades and didn't know where to look. Thanks!

April 25th in Milwaukee at the WAMI Awards Show! (WAMI is Wisconsin Area Music Industry). The two will play together on stage.

http://wamimusic.com/events/award/

Now is the perfect opportunity to get a Dean into Jim's hands. Get 'em a Hardtail and finesse it through Michael. They are buds and have worked together before. Jim also owns a few vintage Deans as well. With all the artists he co-writes with it will give Dean tremendous publicity. Plus you won't have to give him a slew of 'em cause he doesn't really tour anymore as all the artists come to Chicago to work with him in his studios.

- Craig

Saw Buddy Guy last night here in Lancaster PA. He was great. Although I thought he would play a little more. Not longer, more. He didn't play his guitar all that much. His old fingers must not work as long anymore. What a band. Awesome musicians. He didn't play his signature polkadot Strat. I was looking forward to that. He played an old Tele with a strat neck. Definatley got my money's worth though. Oh.. got an autograph too. I was in the second row, center. At the end of the show he came to the front of the stage and started signing autographs while the band jammed on. How cool !

http://blkn-le.cce.clearchannel.com/bravewords.html

HI all....anyone going to this? it's at the Odeon in cleveland.

I never heard of the show before, but I think the list of bands are awesome. With Jag Panzer...I know we have a guy here whose name is Jag Panzer
sorry i dont know offhand who he is, but that's pretty awesome, I was reading on the Jag Panzer website, I never heard of Jag Panzer before either, but I am listening to their music I got from their site, I like it, great guitars and good vocals, so this will be an interesting show.

If anyone else is going, I think it would be cool to all meet up and have some beers or whatever. Hopefully me and a friend will be going, or it might be just myself, my friend doesn't really have any musical taste, he's pretty close minded....he's never heard of any of the bands so espically if I go by myself it will suck to drive the 2hrs to cleveland to be by myself.

so post back if you are going...i'll know for sure if i'm going in a few weeks and i'll post more details then.

I wanted to give an extra shout out to Dave for another great job...

Not only has he been awesome in taking care of my guitar needs...one of my new drum students recently got in the market for a kit. Dave made a great recommendation on a kit I had not seen before and put together a killer deal. The student (and parents) are thrilled, as am I. Great value, good quality, and an all-around win-win.

Thanks again, Dave!

I was thinking about getting a Dean from hell Paintjob (500$ at GMW) but I changed my mind and I want to try to get that Paint job done.

Any one have btter pics of that guitar

I haven't laughed this hard in years. This has to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen..

Hey all you guitarheads, I know at some point we all had toy guitars. I am looking for a toy guitar that I had when I was 6 or 7. It would have been in the early 80's. I remember it being red and it had four fat strings on it. Seems like it had a wammy bar thing. Since my daughter is starting to pickup guitar, I wanted to get her one like I used to have because it rocked. Any of you guys know what toy guitar I am talking about or what it is called?

There is a Dime guitar hanging up at the HRC louisville. It is covered in leopard skin fuzzy material, and is beside a pic of Dime, with a handwritten note about him creating this one as a tribute to Rev. Billy G. of ZZ Top. Anybody know the story on it? I'll try to get pictures tommorrow. it looks like a washburn, until you look under the edge of it, and can see the wood. Then it looks like it might be a Dean...the horns look more rounded than the Washburns....

Does anyone know if they can make a Mlf with block inlays and full binding.Kind of like DIME's shatterd mirror washburn? Thank you for any help guys.








Oh yeah I know it would have to be a custom just want to know if there is any reson they couldn't

Cool eh?
I'm so friggin' happy with this

Which DiMarzios are in the TC Caddys?

PAF or Super Distortion? I keep reading conflicting information.

Today is THE day to get the order in for the DOA V guitar and Z Bass. I got my deposit down on a Z Bass.

Of course, the proto pictured came with the gourgeous if not incorrect top. Cant wait to see what the Trans Blueburst Flametops look like. If they are anything like last years V it will be very cool. I'm picturing playing tropical songs on it's Carribiean(sic) Sea like top with cream binding.

Here is the Proto in it's Tiger Eye Quilt look. MMMM it was pretty cool too.

anybody know a place that will pu binding on a guitar for you?

Someone asked this already with regards to helping them out on the solo front, but I can't find the thread.

To cut a long story short, someone had offered to e-mail a number of scale patterns for this chap to practice with and I was wondering, if anyone recognises this, if they would mind doing the same for me. I've been to one or two websites, but they don't seem to be layed out very clearly, at least not for my easily confused brain.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers,
Ally.

I ordered a Caddy today.

Triple Pickup Tigereye

I'll be replacing the bridge pickup with a Bare Knuckle Miracle Man pickup.

I was certain that I was going to order the Redwood Caddy. Until I saw a picture of it. It's flame redwood, not redwood burl.

I have a giant (1200 sq ft) redwood deck on my house. It pretty much looks exactly like flame redwood. I stain that deck every year by hand rubbing it. It takes me 4 days of hard work to do this. I couldn't stand to play a guitar that reminds me of hard work. So no flame redwood guitars for me.

Mark

I was lookin though the current issue of Guitar World magazine. In the "Dear Guitar Hero"column featuring Billy F.Gibbons a fan ask him about these amp. I guess Billy and co bought the first 100 ever made of these amps. There made by a former amp tech at Fender(I've haven't caeught his name yet sorry). The tiny amps are contained in a little cigarette box. There site is smokeyamps.com. I personally are going to get 2 of them. I checked out ebay they go for $25.00 not bad at all.

Hey,

I've been working on this song this weekend, and it is still a work in progress (I actually hate the last part), but I was wondering if you guys could tell me what you think. Thanks

I've been in the middle of a VERY LONG inventory & baseball weekend. I have not had time to catch up on the news of the week. I read today that Danny Joe Brown of Molly Hatchet died on the 10th.

I was a Hatchet from "the day". On January 15th 1980 I saw them on the "Flirtin' With Disaster” Tour. I remember the night very well because it was 3 days before I turned 18. It was also the night that I almost wound up in a riot. Someone threw a bottle on stage, glanced off a symbol & it hit the drummer in the head. Danny Joe asked that no one throw stuff because someone could get hurt, and as he said that, someone lobbed a 5th of some bourbon onto the stage landing at his feet. Well Danny Joe threw his mike down & stormed off the stage. Couldn’t blame him, but all hell broke loose. To this day I don’t think I have ever seen that many bottles in one place. IT RAINED BOTTLES FOR 5 SOLID MINUTES!!!

Well Danny Joe came back out & made a statement & decided to play after all. When it settled down, I went to get a tee shirt only to run into over 150 riot equipped cops. After the stage was cleaned up from all the glass, the show went on. It was a most excellent show.

38-Special was the opening act, they were VERY UNKNOWN at the time, but I was blown away. They were VERY GOOD. Point blank played second (a TOTAL waist of time).

A few years later, I was at a Pat Travers show in North Central Arkansas and Hatchet was the headliner. WITH Danny Joe singing. I was in heaven. I was standing ON STAGE watching Pat play with Danny Joe Brown on one side of me & Riff West (Bassist) on the other. Riff said “I HATE these gigs where Pat opens for us.” I looked at Danny Joe then back at Riff & asked why? He said “LOOK AT THEM, WE CAN’T HANG WITH THEM!!! I can’t hang with MARS (PT Bass Player), THEY ARE AWESOME!!” I then looked at Danny Joe & he nodded his head in agreement. Later we were on the Hatchet bus………… All I can say is, what a great bunch of guys. Both Pats group & Hatchet. We partied that night with Pat…….. but that’s another story……..

Some of you younger guys don’t know much about Hatchet, Just know that “Flirtin’ With Disaster” was PLATINUM 2 weeks out of the chute. Most of you probably think they are just an old worn out red-neck southern rock band. To me, it was my teen age years & THEY ROCKED!!! I was fortunate to have seen them in their hay day, and even more fortunate to have hung out with them on & OFF stage.

Danny Joe LOVED his Jack….. Looks like it got the better of him.

SO………

RIP DANNY JOE!!! This ole Southern Boy will miss you.

My Dean ml Ultra has alot of little very very light scratches on its back.

Ive been looking around for a Polish/Scratch Remover and I came across...Ken Smith Pro Formula Guitar Polisher....

Anyone had any luck with it..

I have been looking everywhere for a story that tells the history of the ML and can't seem to find any info. Is DEAN the first to make this design? Where did he get the inspiration for it? Is there a link that might tell me more about it? Thx for any help:)

O crap today is the day of my

Lamb of God
Shadows Fall
Sworn Enemy
Slipknot

Not very big lineup but im so F.u.c.k.i.n.g excited abouth the first three
Ohhhh i cant wait

I just got this done... it is going to the loving home of a forum meber. I wired it with a Duncan Pearly Gates in the neck, a Bill Lawrence (Not BLUSA) 500XL in the bridge... two volume controls and no tone pots or capacitors. Sounds brilliant! Looks cool too. It turned out really great.

Whats the difference and what kind is a '79 MLF?

I just got an EVO 60 and love it and now I want to get the EVO special select.

I like a little wider fret than the EVO 60 has, and maybe a meatier neck. So i was wondering if the necks are the same on all EVOs (beside the inlays).
Thanks in advance!

ps - I love my Dean!

Here's a before and after shot of my mid 80s Japanese Strat. The goofy guy is me.

Can someone with a TC Caddy do me a HUGE favor???

I need the length/width/depth of the case.

I may be able to use a Pelican case for this guitar. I use Pelican cases for my camera gear and they are incredible. I've had a large case with 3 cameras fall down 3 flights of stairs. The cameras weren't damaged at all.

Pelican doesn't make guitar cases, but they told me that guys have used Pelican gun cases for electric guitars.

Wouldnt it be cool to have a Dean ML that looked the same as the Washburn Dimeslime, with matching headstock of course?

One of my local pawn shops has a hollywood z model with a Kahler and they want 199, i could get it for 150 if not a little less, my question is, it has the Kahler on it and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how much a Kahler in excellent shape would go for.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=41407&item=7307299810&rd=1

it says that one is american made, were the Kahlers on the hollywoods american made or were they liscensed like the floyds on import models.

Our band, Infensus, made a four track demo about two weeks ago. Download using BT from http://trackerwww.prq.to/download.php/3301812/Infensus_-_Damnation_Rewind.torrent or download the individual songs http://salves.net/Infensus_-_Damnation_Rewind/ there. NOTE: .ogg format, play in winamp or download OggDs for your WMP.
Update: mp3s can be found http://salves.net/Infensus_-_Damnation_Rewind/dirty_nasty_mp3s/ there.

I would say it's almost like heavy metal with a more evil vocal. If someone wants to determine a more precise genre, by all means, spill it out.
Feedback appreciated

Guitar1: Gibby LP Studio -> Warhead X2 -> Marshall 1960 w/greenbacks
Guitar2: Carvin DC127 w/Duncan LW metal pup -> ENGL Fireball -> same cab. Røde NT3 mics were used, into a Roland VS2480.
Sonor drums, zildjian something cymbals, LTD bass through DI.

Hey all,

Anyone ever heard of these B-52 amps? They're all tube, but why are they so cheap? Has anyone tried one?

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/search/detail/base_pid/481302/

There's a few questions I have on amps and their wattage, ohms, and how loud they get. My next investment is going to be a tube head. The Marshall I have now just isn't cutting it, it bores the hell out of me, sounds a little bit better than any other solid state POS, but still resembles the solid states. I have to be shnazzy and have all that awesome tube tone. I have been looking into the details and whatnot.

From what I hear 100W SS and 100W tube are two completely different worlds. Some people say that 50W tube will about blow a 100W solid state out of the water. I was wondering if this was true. Because I want a loud amp, but I don't want it turned down really low so I don't get the nice tube amp sound.

Ohms is another thing I'm concerned about. I have a 8ohm Marshall cab. I just have all around been confused with the whole concept of ohms, so I'm just really wanting a crash course on this.

Do adding speakers (like having a second cab) really produce a louder sound or does it just spread the sound out more?

I think I'm set on getting a Mesa Rectifier, but I'm just wondering if I should snag a dual rectifier or a single. Fill me in guys. Thanks.

If so, I am looking to buy one if anyone knows of one for sale. I have been checking Ebay daily but don't know if ML's were ever even made in white. Thx

Hey All,

I just downloaded BLS's new cd Mafia off of Itunes. It's really good. Good Hard Rock Metal album with both hard and soft music. I'm very happy with my purchase! Now I just have a little more than a week before I see them at Harpos!

My name is Golden Brown Joe Shmoove..

Hi all...

In all honesty, I haven't read the entire guitarmageddon-thread, but I found the backing-tracks, and I couldn't help it...

Well, I made this :
Dime1.mp3

Not much to say about it... The weird harmonics at the start was the only thing planned (sort of, anyway) the rest is improvisation.... There's a few flaws here and there...

Recording done with a Dean ML-XT with stock pups, into a PodXt, and nothing else... no post-processing of any kind done...

So, let me have it.... (ok, please, be gentle...)

I have been experiencing pain and problems with moving my fingers over the last few years. It does not feel like the joints are messed up, but rather the tendons and muscles are sore and fatiqued which makes it damn near impossible to play guitar or write using a pen. typing does not seem to be as bad because I don't have to hold anything for a long time... just pecking keys is OK overall... painful but do-able.

Does anyone else have problems with their hands? I do plan to seek medical attention... I just wanted to get a feel for what might be going on first.

Today when I went to Fedex to ship some stuff I had to have the girl behind the counter fill out my paperwork for me... I could not do it.

http://www.teuffelguitars.de/instrumente/birdfish/index_e.html

Well, I just got off the phone and the deal is done. The cobra and matching cab will be in around the 23rd and the Dragon and cab and the Ruby 2x12 should follow shortly there after.

They finally will have enough stock to supply their dealers instead of just their endorsers

Anyone looking for one of these now is your chance. I will treat you right. I'll even include a handful of these cool Framus lick and stick tattoos Now how can you pass up a deal like that?

Ok, my replacement MLF will arrive in April. My BL L500XL and SD '59 pickups are arriving soon as well. I need help though, please share your thoughts.

I could care less about using both humbuckers together at the same time. I do however, LOVE the '59 coil tapped. So i was wondering, if this idea i have is possible with a 3 way switch.

Position 1: Bridge Humbucker
Position 2: Neck Humbucker only 1 coil
Position 3: Neck Humbucker

If it requires picking up a new switch, so be it. But i think this is a MUCH more useful setup.

Hmmm... They look a lot a like, eh?

I didn't recognize him until after I got home. He lives im my city, and I was riding my bike near the beach here and he (I didn't know it was him, I thought it was some dirtbag) came up to me and offered to pay me $20 to use my cell phone. I said no because I didn't know who he was at first, and I was expecting him to try to steal my phone. But apparently he was at a bowling place around here and offered someone $500 or something to teach him how to bowl.

Talk about WEIRD!

Im asking anyone if anyone here owns or has tried out a Stylist Deluxe series here.If so can you get a good jazz tone out of those?And are they good enough or better than an Ibanez Artcore series or a Gibson archtop?I have been taking Jazz lessons from my friend since he is going to college learning that.He has a bad ass Gibson archtop but you know how expensive those are.About 3 to 5 thounsand bucks! Jesus man!Anyways just wanting to know because the stylist deluxe looks fantastic.

havent heard anything since blabbermouth.net couple months ago, just wondering if anyone else has heard anything about when they'll be coming out

thanks

Does anyone know if Albert King used his Gibson V to record "Born Under A Bad Sign"???? It has always been one of my favorite records but the tone just doesnt seem thick enough to be his Gibson V. It sounds more like a Tele to me. Anyone know?

I just put some money down on a XXL combo I liked it hope to hve it on stage in teh next 6 mouths but i would like to know if anyone has any bad storys to tell about there XXL combos?.

Does anyone own A Dean 79 ML and how do they like it?

ok...this ain't even close to guitar stuff

Anyone need a pilot?
I'm less than 6 months from the end of my time in the Navy and would like to continue flying out in the "real" world.
Any takers?

Bueller?

well, this may be good at least for a laugh?

p.s. BTW...I got my DOA V order in

IIRC, the other one of these listed and did not sell on Evilbay at $10,000 . This one is gonna get to rich for my blood but WOW!!!!...... I'll be surprised if it sells on the auction due to price or backdoor deal.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...=ADME:B:SS:US:1

I have it's single necked brother. It listed for $3800 but I got it on Evilbay from Musicians Exchange for a BIN of $600. Cant say this one will go for that kind of percent off the list but man isn't this cool?

Can anyone tell me what you think about the neck pitch on the auction listing. Does that compare to other double necks you have seen and why would he not make them the same? The pitch on mine is so off he had to grind the bridge bottom to lower the strings enough. Neck on mine is FAT!!! OH YEAH Chunky Korina!!!

KV says "Hey!"

Anyone have advice for removing gunk and grime on a maple fretboard?

Help.

Here it is! I set it up in my photo room and snapped this shot. I love the way it looks. It's got a classic old school look.

A 335 with a shrimpfork??? Looks cool. My guitar teacher played a ES-335 dot marker religiously.. at first I thought it was a weird guitar, but they have an appeal all their own.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47064&item=7309057118&rd=1

Now where is that SG with a shrimpfork that I want so badly...

More later haven;t been able to fire it up yet, one thing's for shure it looks much better in real than on any pic I seen from it!

More to follow!!

Today is the day 23 years ago that Randy was taken from us!
A moment of silence for one of the greats...........

Now put in your Blizard of Ozz cd, Diary and Tribute and enjoy the gifts Randy left us!

This guy really goes the extra distance in matching, quality etc. Plus... he doesn't rip you on shipping. I bought a couple sets and he was a pleasure to deal with...

Does anyone know what type of polish or oil is best used to clean dirt from a fretboard, and also to help maintain the quality of the wood?

someone told me to use linseed oil, and also violin polish? whats the best, i dont want an oily neck either.

thanks a lot! (sarcastically)

here i was...happy with my axe collection...really liked my EVO Premium....LP Cutsom...PRS Custom24....



then i bought a HardTail Pro....



after about 5 months....well beyond honeymoon period....




it has become my #1...




so....NOW...i can't stop thinking about the full blown USA HardTail....and mabye a nice Caddy....thereby selling the LP and/or PRS....

do you SEE the quandary i'm now faced with???

do you UNDERSTAND what you've done to me???

i'm trying to FORCE myself to take my time...keep playing my other guitars...not make any rash decisions...

you're making this tough to do...

yeah...sitting around there, making guitars that blow away the competition...

enticing us to give up our previously coveted instruments...

you're guitars are supposed to be aimed at the 'METAL' market....not blowing away the classic 'BLUES' and 'BLUES/ROCK' guitars....

i'm not the type to have several of the same type of guitar....i keep several guitars with different sounds and playability for different styles...

if i could only keep 1 of the nice collection i currently have...it'd be the HT Pro....do not EVER stop making this model....just upgrade the pots.....i've never touched a more awesome, versatile guitar...

my PRS Custom24 was the Holy Grail for years...NOW i believe the USA HardTail is better.....just who the hell do you think you are???
the BEST guitar company around??? do you REALLY think you're THAT good???..............

do you have the CAJONES to say that???........





well...i still have to try a few Dean models to be sure of the whole line...but if i were the CEO of Gibson, or Paul R Smith, i'd absolutely HATE you...

however....since i'm neither of the above....just another guy trying to reproduce what he feels in his soul and hears in his head....i can only think of ONE thing left to say....





thank you...

Hey All,

I'm looking for a realtively affordable half stack, and I have read some good things about the Peavey XXL. I used to have a Marshall Full Stack and didn't like it. I like solid state amps also. I was wondering if any of you have heard one of these, own one, or have tried it out.

Please let me know what you think:)

So I saw the Ring 2 last night and I thought it was good. I loved the first one, but the story line I feel compensated for what you knew Samarra was capable of. If you haven't seen the first one, go see it, but I really liked this show:)

Just had to share

So I was bored and trying to find good tab for DIO songs (yes I love 80's metal) and found out that DIO is touring this summer. If they comp that show at DTE (it will always be Pine Knob) in Detroit, I would see that!

What do the owners here think of them? I'm interested in the good, the bad and the ugly.

I've never personally played one so I'd be buying one online. I'm spying this one on ebay as it has no reserve on it
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7308845735&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

Thanks!

See ya there!

I realize it's a matter of personal preferance, but I haven't had the opportinity to scrutinize the differences in person.
I'm considering a set of Bill Lawrences (yes, the L-500/L-500XL)for my Dean V Select and a set of EMG's (Yes again, the active81/85) for my B.C. Rich S.E. Pro Warlock. (Of course I'm gonna drop a Dimebucker in my Dime Washburn.)
What do you guys think?

go!

Hi guys we`re forming a band and we have problem with the name, we play trashcore metal need your help any ideas are welcome!
thanx.

Just look at this!

I have finally gotten all my cabinets and amps reloaded with the Vintage 30 12" speakers I bought a month ago. Whatta pain. So, I plug all that $hit in and! oh yeah, it was worth it.
I actually have all my guitars put back together, with fresh strings and all, for the first time in years... I really have waaay tooo much $hit in here!

what is your input on them? I dont think i will buy one but i am curious to hear reviews.

Since I've been here. No one probably remembers me anyways. Anyway, just thought I'd ask a question. Anyone ever seen one of these? If so, what is it?

Hey guys,

Check this out, Zakk playing his RB live! HELL YEAH!!!







EDIT: Added one more pic

Mikko

i haven't played with a band in a long time.. i just got fed up with the attidudes and the drama.. so lately i have had the urge to ty again.. i figured that if i find someone my own age with kids and all that maybe we'd all have mellowed to a point thet it would be fun.. well i found a add at a local guitar shop .."Thirty's something band looking for a bass player and backing guitar and vocals for a metal band" well i think to my self ..self this sounds like a good time i like rythm and i can sing too..

so i call this guy and it turns out that he (drummer) and the lead guitarist have been jamming for about a year. so i show up last night at the drummers house with my little crate gt60 my guitar. my little epiphone tube amp and my Mic cuz i sing too..

I walk into this little laundry room i mean 12x10.. The lead guy has this full marshall stack and a rack of more effects and gadgets than most pro's have.. so i say my self ok.. well maybe it will be ok.. i get all plugged in go to tune up... he says " i play drop d only"... i should have seen it coming after that but i say fine.. so i try to drop to a d... well i have locking tuners and it wouldn't let me quite drop to a d.. so i decided i'll play bass and sing..

for the next two hours all i heard was fead back, rattling and the same tone (distorted and compressed to the max) ..for every song we did. the vocals were drowned out.. the drums where drowned out.. the bass was barely audible.. the sad thing is that this guy has some skills but why are all of you lead guitarists like that!! every one i have ever played with has been like that.. all i have to show is a headache, sore vocal chords, and a feeling that live music is dying a slow sorrowful death.

i was just wondering how long everybody here has been playing guitar, ive been playing for 3 years

Man.... I pulled out this CD and blew the dust off of it. It has been in my player for two days solid! I am so amazed with Zakk on this album! He sounds so friggin badass!

will an ML fit in a Z case or vice versa?

Elliott mentioned at DOA they where still in the process of painting Eddie Van Halen's Razorback...why?...because the first one got painted the wrong color scheme, I believe red/ white and black??? but it was supposed to be Black and with Yellow strips.

OK, so anyone know when it's gonna be done...and what happened to the one that was painted wrong? Was it stripped and re-painted...or is it sitting somewhere on the backburner...???

mmmmmmm... Dave, what gives? any info yet?

I just found out that my parents are getting mr the '79 ML in Brazilliaburst that I had planned on getting myself, so I am faced with a desicion. What should I get with my money now? ??

(either an ML or Z. I'm wondering what make of ML or Z to get.)

Hey guys!! I was wondering if anyone had a chance to play thru the Randall WARHEAD X2. I was going to buy a KRANK amp, but I decided not to. I am leaning towards the WARHEAD X2 but have not had the chance to play thru one. Your input would be appreciated.

Man...I'd like to swing this gig...Arc Angel for 2 dates (Mar 25/26 I believe) in Austin. Anyone going?

Edited cause I guess I should spel his name RIGHT!!!!

I had to take a short trip to another FOB yesterday and snapped a couple pics. I rode up in this Armored Chevy Tahoe. I though it would be cool to show you guys. The guy I rode up with works for KBR and as soon as we loaded up he popped in a CD and cranked it and all of a sudden I hear ALL ABOARD!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! So we jammed to Ozzy on the way up. It was a fun trip.
The outside looks pretty normal.

Here is what the inside doors look like. That steel plate is about 1/2 inch thick and the windows are about 2 inches thick. Pretty stout!! The front windsheild is also a couple inches thick.

This is the back seat. It also has the bulletproof glass and another steel plate behind the seat.

This was an SF Team we passed by. I guess they were stopped to take a leak or something. Thats the only Chevy Dually I have seen in Iraq. They usually drive around in Armored SUVs. The pic is blurry because we were going so fast but there is a 50 Cal mounted in the back. Its kinda hard to see but its there. They dress like the locals.

I took some better pics of my Czech Korina Z.

Heavy Metal Fan Was Responsible For Worst School Shooting In U.S. Since Columbine - Mar. 22, 2005

The 17-year-old student who shot his way through his family and a tribal school in northwest Minnesota Monday (March 21), leaving 10 people dead, including himself, was described by a fellow student as a quiet boy who was into goth culture, listened to heavy metal music, wore "a big old black trench coat" and "talked about death all the time."

The Minneapolis Star Tribune named the suspect as Jeff Weise, a student or former student at the local high school on the Red Lake Indian reservation in remote northern Minnesota. Pat Mills, director of Red Lake's public safety department, said officers were not looking for any other suspects.

It was the worst school shooting in the U.S. since 15 people died in the Columbine massacre in 1999.


Do you KNow how much S.H.I.T. Metal is gonna be in NOW

I have informally asked about the famous, 6 guitar run comment, in regards to having a run of Zz made with Clearcoated Mahogany bodys and necks, Clearcoated Maple Flametop, Chrome hardware, Cream colored binding on neck and headstock, made on '79 series specs, MOP Block inlays, rosewood fingerboard, Grover tuners, 2 Cream covered P-90s. Haven't heard back yet but I feel this could be a sweet guitar.
Anyone feeling that way?

Alright. I'm getting a '79 ML-F, and I've never played a floyd rose before. Are they easy to change the tuning on, or should I get another guitar for changing the tunings? I was thinking about a normal '79 ML or a '79 Z. What do you guys think??

Cool looking Z, no funds at the moment for me though. Wonder what the reserve is on this one?

hey this is for all hellraisers zakk wylde and B.L.S. is coming to dallas texas!

i've got some mp3 files uploaded, but i can't figure out how to link to them.

i tried just using the file location (i.e. www.digitalsoundplanet.com/members/000166881_000026580.mp3) but that's not working. if i click on the hyperlink, it says the page could not be loaded, and right click > save as just comes back with an access denied message.

anyone know what to do?

Does anyone have any experiences with these?
Im thinking about getting me one. But i need to know a few things first.

Which one is suitable for:

1) professional-life audio recording
2) great sound, great graphics
3) fast,not laggy or choppy

This amp started life as a Crate Vintage Club 20. A 15watt single end tube amp with 2 - 12AX7s, 2 - EL84s and a 10" speaker. It has lots of gain, but it has a hard edged, high end tone that was abrasive to my ear, but it's plenty loud. It's a good amp, but it wasn't living up to its potential so I fixed it up a little . Here's a before picture of a similar amp (a VC30).


Step 1: Separate the amp from the speaker with new Cabs. New cabs are constructed from 3/4" lumber core Luan (A light weight mahogany product made from glued up boards skinned over with veneers) that is stable as hell. A "detuned" cabinet has a closed back and an extra port in front so the bass that normally goes out the back comes out the front port instead. In this case a new Hellatone 30 watt "aged" Celestion G12H will be the speaker of choice.


This pic shows the head sitting on the "detuned" speaker cab. I put diffusers in both ports. The speaker will occupy the top port. the baffles are made from 1/2" luan. The speaker cab is 32" high x 18" wide x 16" deep.


The next three are the head covered and the front and back panels. One shows the patterns I had to make up for cutting the vinyl. (big pain if you've never done it FYI ) I made the head fairly compact and had to move a transformer - remember this came from a combo unit.




Here is the speaker cab covered - (really a two person job)


And lastly the head with a perforated steel grill I got from a local metal guy and the speaker baffle covered in a nice vintage cloth I found on fleebay. All it needs now are corners, straps, and feet - all on order. And it's getting retubed with JJ Tesla EL84s and either a pair of vintage Sylvania 12AU7s, or some Ei Gold 12AX7s depending on how it sounds after this "upgrade". (There's a kick ass tube OD pedal going in front of this so I may opt for the 12AU7s. )



All in all it was a very satisfying project, but there are several things I'll do different next time. There was a lot of fabrication of small parts, like the jack plates, internal support brackets, etc, etc. It also helps to have a well equipped shop like the one I put together at the college I work at :

Everyone here has an Ebay account and we probably have seen each other's names on Deans hundreds of times... whether winning or not.

My username is: bpfb

What's yours?

Not quite a guitar that was probably expected to be seen here. We close on August 10th. It can't get here quick enough. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms with a large bonus room(great place for me to play my guitars) upstairs between the kids rooms. Also has a downstairs living room with a gas fireplace.

My dad wants to know that Center stage Music is a reputable company before he lets me order from them. I already know that he has quita a following, and I trust him, but My dad is a bit skeptical (partially because of the price compared to the local music store ), so Heres the poll. Center stage music - Good or not.

(If you like Dave batter, please don't answer no)

OK guys. I'm looking for a high quality small tube 1x12 combo. Something between 40-60 watts would be perfect. Must be loud enough to gig clubs when I don't feel like lugging around my XXX head and cab. Oh yeah......it must be a gain monster, and have at least two channels. Three channels would be even better. Reverb not necessary, but an effects loop is. A 2x12 is out of the question.....so don't even bother recommending a 5150 combo.

Now the tricky part. I'd like to spend under $1000 if at all possible (used is fine).

Any suggestions??

~M~

is it possible to convert a bolot on neck joint to a set neck. im probably bugging all of you with all of the bolt on questions but please respond. im guessing no but its worth a shot.

Hi all, Thought I might post a question to all. Has anyone else seen the band "FIREHOUSE"? - they are a early 90's band. My daughter called me last night after going to one of their concerts back in Colorado, said they were awesome & are another what she calls " a Metal- GOTTA GO SEE BAND". Well, i checked out their website and they do have some pretty good stuff.

Hmmm ?

Hobbies out of control? not as long as there is still space for my fat drunken butt! This is my room... where the Deans live and the beers die!... I think I still have space for another 20 cases or so... muhuhahahahahaaa!

what the hell is a DEAN Z AUTOGRAPH.. music go round is sell ing a couple of them... real cheap i must add..

Hey guys, finally got my vintage L500 pickup in from ebay. I was putting it in and I snapped my B string. Always my b string man! Anyways the only kind of strings I can get in town are Ernie ball slinkys and I hate those breakin' bastards. Back in the day, I used to use Hard Rockin Steels becuase dime did and I never broke one, but they are extremly hard to find. Can anyone recommend a brand of strings that don't break and sound good?

Alright there chaps

I played a gig a couple of weeks ago with a Black Sabbath tribute band I play with from time to time, and ever since my amp has been sounding a bit dodgy.

It is a Marshall 9000 power amp through a "Marshall" (perhaps homemade I suspect) cab, featuring 3 inputs - all 4 speakers (4 ohms) or left 2 and right 2 (both 8 ohms)

So I was running two cabs - had the correct ohmage set for both, but ever since then when I palm mute there is a terrible fart after the note. So I have tried various combinations of left or right, swapping sides of the amp (it is stereo) and so on, but no luck. What have I done to it?!?!?!

Cheers in advance

I've noticed this on a couple of my Deans. When I turn the Bridge pickup volume knob to zero there is still sound coming out of the amp. The Neck pickup will #$%@ all the way off.

What up wit dat?

well today i woke up, after staying up 25 consecutive hours (doing my igh schools radio marathon) the UPS man came today, and dropped off a little present... thats, right, the long awaited Blem Vendetta, so, withhout further ado, onto the pictures...





there is a shot of the chip on the front of it, and as far as i remember, it looks a lot better now then it did in florida....


there she is! i still have yet to hear it through my amp, since i still have to hook my amp back up... but i am guessing it should sound pretty sweet nonetheless.... I do have one small issue with it... on the back, there are a few of these scratchy swirl marks in the clear coat, and i was wondering, what is a good buffing compound that i could use to get those out? anyone?

at any rate... 280.00 well spent in my opinion

I sent that dude an e mail telling him I wanted to join DOA but have not gotten a reply. Do I have to contact someone else or send money first? I would really like to be a member. I am not a memeber, I am assuming sine I have not gotten a relpy.

In several months I'll be headed to the University of Florida or Alfred State University in upstate new york. haven't heard back from UF yet...

any suggestions for taking some or all of my guitars w/ me?

what's the best place to hook up with other musicians? and how would i go about securing cheap or even better, free rehearsal space?

other suggestions for college life would be cool too!

Look what the nice man in the brown UPS truck dropped off today.

Joe has got me looking at JET guitars on the internet now... out of curiousity... and I ran into this one.... hard to believe it is for real!

Life's testing at times.

Tuesday - my car dies on me, resulting in large wads of cash I don't have. Worst of all it means I can no longer afford my Dean ML from Dave at B+T, the money just ain't there right now, especially with child #3 imminent.

Nevermind I thought, the clocks go forward this weekend, I'll get back out on my mountain bike and rip up the trails round my way.

Nope, some dirty m*therf*cker broke into my garage last night and stole all my bikes and my daughters bikes, along with bike parts and tools.

What's next I wonder

Ally.

Dean vs Washburn they both make Ml's which one better

It was said that the Schenker V would be ready for shipping in 60 days from october, thats around christmas.

Nothing happens, nothing happens, why the heck do DEAN give us a date and without any explanation delay it, and delay it?

If they had said June 2005 and it would arrive in may everyone would have been happy. But this behavior only irritates and make me VERY angry.

WHEN IS IT READY AND WHY IS IT DELAYED, PLEASE ANSWER!

There's some schmuck who keeps logging on the Tiki bar under different stupid names and slowing it down. Is there some way you could block his IP address or something? I'm afraid he'll log in under a real member's name and piss people off.

I dont know if anyone knows or even cares but I thought I would post this, the all female metal band Kittie has lost 2 members of thier band once again, guitarist Lisa Marx and bass player Jennifer Arroyo. Reasons for the departure are pretty much because of the record label (Artemis Records) not supporting them on any touring, ect. Therefore the founding members of Kittie, Morgan and Mercedes Lander are believed to be looking for a new guitarist and bass player. Sorry guys they are probably wanting females, you never know. For example on the label not supporting them and how dedicated these girls are to the fans, Morgan (singer/guitarist) told me that they funded thier entire tour themselves with not a dime coming from Artemis. Now unable to pay the other 2 members, Jennifer and Lisa jumped ship with no bad blood left behind. Sad that things like this have to happen to good bands. Given they dont play solos and arent Dimebag (which they were close friends of his and attended his funeral) but are extremely talented at what they do play. Just thought I would spread this sad news.

Hi where can i find a animated avatar off Dimebag,Zakk Wylde ??

I just upgraded my Caddy's ABR Bridge to Graph Tech Saddles. The problem is when I removed the screws I had to pop out the pressure fitted washer that holds the screw inside. I tried replacing them with retaining washers and a number of other things that just didn't fit inside of the channels. I finally found some O-rings that do the job, but they're made of rubber.

Rubber absorbs vibration, effects tone and all that jazz. How big of an effect do you think having rubber O-rings will have on my bridge?

First of all I'm thinking about buying an older ml (79-81) and I was wondering if they made them in Korea back then. If so how can I tell if it is an american made becauuse that is what I want. Also you can tell the year of the model by the serial number. Right?

Has anyone played through a Mesa triple rectifier, hows it sound? I know it has tube and solid state, hows the solid state compare to a Randall?

Forgive my ignorance, I play in a punk band. That's a cool song...

This is a 2 part post 1) The Lead guitarist in my band is in another band called Meliah Rage. There first 3 albums were on Sony/Epic in the late 80s early 90s and they saw quite a bit of success at that time and are now working on a strong return and their 7th international release. I thought alot of you guys that are on the forum and into classic melodic thrash metal would really be into them and should check it out. They have always been one of my favorite metal bands! 2 songs from the last CD and one from the one before it are listed below as well as the Web page for the band site. ENJOY also see question below.

2) Ok now that you have hopefully checked out the band. In preperation for some up comeing dates in New England and on the East Coast with OverKill The band has been rehearsing in my basement studio in NH and as with anybody who comes to my house and plays guitar they get one of my Deans shoved into their hands to fire up. anyway long story longer... They have been rehearsing using my Dean Caddies as well as my DOA ML and Frickin Lovin 'em.
They were endorsed by Jackson for about 5 years back in the day and Tony, one of the guitar players has been talking with ESP about geting a custom Z for the dates in support of the soon to be released CD. Now they are both pumped about getting Deans and said to me hey I was on the Dean web site the other day checking things out... (first clue there hooked) anyway they are way into the guitars and I had told them all about DOA etc. I said sorry to sound like a salesman but I just love these guitars. I got a call tonight from the Tony and he asked me to find out what was up with possible endosresment deals of some sorts and getting onto the Dean artist page if they started playing Deans on tour. These guys still sell a lot of albums and are making a big try at a comeback and I think it would be great if they would put Meliah Rage proudly plays Dean Guitars on the up coming CD in Exchange for what, I do not know. I don't think they are expecting money or free guitars or anything more than maybe some cross promotion as well as ???? I don't know how does this work? Who do they talk to? Would a USA black Z with block inlays and fully bound have to be Custom built. The more the kids see a Dean in the hands of there favorite guitar player the more deans that get sold. These guys are a lot bigger than 1/2 the people on the artist page and are a very well respected metal band. Read the reviews on the web page. I think it would be a good time for Dean to join forces with these guys. Strike while the Iron is hot. Their Diggin' the Deans right now. Who needs to talk to who?

Sorry for the Book Kevin...

I thought some of you guys might enjoy this.

Mrs Diz and I went and saw them last night and we were quite impressed. I really like thier CD and wanted to see if they could kick it live. I was expecting a "rough" sound to say the least. I've seen GnR 3 times and always less than impressed with thier live show. I have to say - these guys put on one of the tightest shows I've seen in a while.

I guess if you clean up your act and really work on the music, it shows. Couldn't help but think how they did a show the night before...and the night before that.....and the night before that...and so on - wicked World Tour sched. And yet - they can still come out and blow you away.

When they did "Fall To Pieces" - it was one of those R&R moments you'll always remember! Man did they sound great!!

If you get chance - go see em - you won't be disappointed. Slash and Wieland are worth the price of admision alone! Can't help but think they won't be around long before they burn out!

And one other thing - people are always looking for new band names. I gotta say that "Velvet Revolver" is one of the coolest I've ever heard!

Tuesday morning started out like any other. Im sitting watching TV and someone knocks on my door. Its a guy from my neighborhood and he informs me that my lizard must have escaped. I told him that I don't own anything like that anymore. He says that then there is someones "Komodo Dragon" running through the field behind my house. Needless to say I ran out my backdoor to see what it was. I was expecting to see an iguana or something since they are common around here. Well, much to my surprise sure as hell there was a large Nile Monitor walking through the brush against my fence. Didn't really realize how big he was being in the bushes. I chased him up and down the fence a couple times until he stopped to turn around and I grabbed him by the neck and pressed him to the dirt. I wasn't going to lose this battle. I took him down to my work and put him in a huge dog kennel and took him to a nearby wildlife sanctuary the next day. They told me he will most likely end up at the Miami Metro Zoo. Talk about fun. He was at least 6 feet long.

about tubes.

I just got back 2 of my Boogies from repair. I should have used Mesa tubes. Instead I hear all this raving about Svetlana. They are s#%t! Too microphonic. Now I have to go to Guitar Center and buy a whole new rack of 12AX7s for my simul-class before I use it in a live situation. Never again will I stray from using Boogie tubes.

OK FIRST OFF THE GUITAR IS DESCENT BUT NO WHERE NEAR THE QUALITY THE DOA GUITAR IS OR WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. I WAS KIND OF DISAPPOINTED. I'M NOT GOING TO SAY WHAT DEALER SENT THIS TO MLATTACK BECAUSE THEY MAY HAVE NEVER OPENED THE CASE AND KNOWN IT WAS BROKEN. IM NOT TRYING TO SLAM ANYONE. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERSON TO BUY IT FROM A DEALER THEN ID BE UPSET BUT I BOUGHT IT 2 DAYS OLD FROM MLATTACK.





NOTICE THE V TAILPIECE ....THE GUITAR IS 5 DAYS OLD AND THE HARDWARE IS TARNISHED, THE TAILPIECE IS LIKE FLAT BLACK INSTEAD OF SHINEY AND THE V TAILPIECE IS CROOKED ON THE BODY. IT MAKES THE CROTCH LOOK OFF CENTERED. IS WIERD TO LOOK AT. PLUS THE CROTCH IS STILL SEMIT SOGGY. IT IS NOT AS MUCH OF A V AS IT SHOULD BE. IT IS WAY OFF COMPARED TO MY DOA ML BUT BETTER THAN MY BLACK ML. ALSO ANOTHER THING. MLATTACK ORDER IT WITH BLACK HARDWARE...... THE HARDWARE WAS CHANGED OUT BUT THE SCREWS THAT HOLD THE PLASTIC IN ARE STILL CHROME WHICH IS STUPID AND THE STRING FERRILS AND BRIDGE COUNTERSINKS WERE LEFT CHROME. HALF ASSED HARDWARE CHANGE IF YOU ASK ME. NOT DONE BY DEAN GUITARS BTW. ANYONE HAVE A SUGGESTION HOW TO FIX THE CASE. I THOUGHT ABOUT GOING TO HOME DEPOT OR WALMART TO GET A GOLD 2 INCH PHILIPS HEAD SCREW TO SHOVE IN THE SIDE OF THE CASE TO HOLD THE COMPARTMENT LID STRAIGHT. ANYONE WITH A BETTER IDEA ?

I just logged in and there is are people there who aren't us and I think the word is out that this is a good chat to hang in for outsiders. Pete my man is there anything we can do to tighten security? I'd hate to see it invaded by punks. I think Kris knows what I'm talking about he was just there and after he left they said "good I wanted fore then to leav" - oh yeah and they spell worse than we do!!!!

The last time I checked, I was the high bidder on this USA Hardtail at $932.16. I forgot all about it, and when I go to check it out, he has it relisted. What's up with that?? Did I miss something??

Got both of these yesterday. Sold 3 guitars on ebay so it was time to shop! I was really close to getting a tiger eye Hardtail Select, but I'm waiting til summertime to order the color I want from B&T. The guitar is a Samick of some sort, haven't figured out what model yet, it's an older one. Setneck, Gotohs, Wilkinson trem, pretty blue quilt top, jumbo frets and the tightest grain rosewood board I've ever seen. I'm not a rosewood fan, but this one is very nice. Tone and sustain for days. The puppy I rescued from a white trash chick that used to work at Lowes with me (my part time job). I knew there was no way she could properly care for this dog and I finally talked her into giving her to me last night. Not sure of the breed, but she'll be 3 months tomorrow and is a cutie! Now my Samoyed has a playmate.

Hi fellow Dean lovers. I'm currently selling one of my USA Hardtails (to fund the purchase of a very vintage/expensive Les Paul) on feebay. Ran into some @#$%&$@ ebay linking problems with the first attempt and figured I'd post it up here hoping to screw ebay out of some fees!

If you're interested, you can reach me via the "ask a seller" link on my auction or email me directly at hello(at)5finger.com. Make sure you "check my feedback" as they say, you'll see I'm on the up-and-up and honest/legit.

If this is considered "spam" here, I apologize and understand if this gets deleted, just thought I'd post the offer up to see if there are any interested parties.

Thanks all and keep rocking!
