Scroll down and guess what?

what's the size of the neck on a V79 ?

and is it worth changing the bridge for a schaller on this guitar?

Which ones am I missing ?

DOA Silverburst Caddy
DOA Tigereye ML
DOA Pimpburst V
Ed Roman Blueburst Series
Black Gold series
BTM Blonde P90 Z

No posts for almost a month!!!!!! So....

How about a DOA Acoustic? Like the new T-Wing model with gold Grovers, Brass bridge pins and a gold Dean logo to make it a little different for us.

Just a thought.

Where is the serial number on a USA Hardtail?

Hey guys, this is not Dean related but since I've been around here almost everyday I thought you people could help me out deciding this...
One of my guitars is an Arbor vintage Flying V (yes, plywood I know :\ ) with set neck, only one pickup (currently a Dimebucker) and a pretty nice blueburst colour.
I bought this at a pawn-shop for around $70 and I really like the neck on it so I thought it would make a cool project.
I will install a new fretboard abalone overlay but the thing I would like you to comment is their shape. Should I place square blocks or trapezoid blocks (I thought maybe inverted ones /_\ to match the V shape).
What do you make of this?

Why didn't somebody tell me Arch Enemy released a new one? Was scared at first because it was in the top 10 bestsellers at Best Buy. Went to pay my rent, someone told me about it, had to go by Best Buy to get home, and lo and behold, there it is in the top 10 bestsellers rack...under Alternative...

It's called Doomsday Machine

And it rocks

seeing as how i have recently been doing a lot of mods and buying new things i decided it would be a cool idea for everyone to share in on thier recent gear purchases, and give reviews on the items . I think this would be great for amps as wel seeing as how many amp threads there are .

So if you have bought anything guitar related please do share, you not only get to show off what you got but help other out by giving reviews over items they may be looking at purchasing them selfs.

First and again my dean evo.

It is a great guitar, with it having such a large neck it has really helped out getting faster on a 6 string and makes the 6 string neck feel like a pencil. I'd seriously in all honesty recommend a 7 string to anyone, it will help out with getting your fingers streached out, and make your speed improve greatly .
Now, they few minor things about the evo. One it is carved top, but a fore arm place would put the guitar over the top . I find that the binding really rubs my arm . A tummy cut-a-way would be cool but isn't totally needed. The pickups are not very high power but i dont expect any stock pickups to be except for the high end American made models but that's a different story .

All in all it is a great guitar, i'd recommend it, for under 200 used you can't get this kind of quality.

My next purchase.

The dimarzio super 3 .

I absolutly love this pickup . It is like a cross between a tone zone and super distortion. If you have ever played a breed i am told the super 3 is very simular only a lot hotter. It is is very middy and has good bass with a the highs cut a bit. It gives great full powerful chords and soloing the pickup's mids make it very smooth, while the highs shine when you throw a pinch harmonic out there. If you are looking for a more powerful tone zone with a bit less bass to make things a little clear but get more power this is an excellent choice.
The bad thing is the super 3 is no longer in normal production, they are only made new for special order but i have to say it was well worth the 3 1/2 week wait to get it .

The 1 meg mod again.

1 meg pots unlike 250 or 500 k bleed no signal to the ground, majority of times the part of the signal that is most noticable blead off is the treble. If you have a dark sounding guitar or are looking to boost teble a bit, you may give them a shot. At about half volume i belive it is roughly equaliant to a standar 500k so anything over about 7 is really more like overdrive. I haven't fully tested this yet. I placed a 1 meg volume pot in one of my guitars but it still has a 500 tone pot which means some higher frequencies are being let off . Though even without having both of the pots being 1 meg there still is a noticable difference in power and precived highs.

This will be tested shortly, i have my first guitar still and am going to install a single bridge humbucker with one 1 meg volume pot.Ther pickup is a stock V8 pickup out of my ibanez rg570, it was just replaced by the super 3.

I'll report back on how it sounds and if anyone would like a clip i may be able to get a few tomorrow.

Eminence Texas heat.

This is the same speaker that comes in dime's Krank cabs. They are rated at 150 watts with 300 watt max. They are fairly loud . They as described by eminence have top end bite with lots of clarity and good loud robust bass. This is an excellent description, they have a really soild sound and are extermly clear, the bass is excellent, and pinch harmonics jump out very well . They have very pertty sparkly cleans, it'd be great for like a 50 tube combo or even in a vintage lower wattage amp. If you need more than mud these speaker can help out a bit with that.

Coming shortly, my review on the eminence ram rod 10 inch speaker, line 6 riff tracker and magix studio deluxe.

it pwns me in many ways. it plays great, and i cant wait to swap pickups. The stock ones are great but im thinkin of getting EMG's. pics soon to come with the whole family:D

its funny..not haa haa funny but odd funny how when you are a kid you dad seems so invincible.. how nothing could hurt him... no monsters under the bed no closet boogie men... nothing....

i sit here tonight missing my dad who passed away on friday.. it wasn't cancer or heart attack or anything huge like that that took him from me and my family. it was shittly little cold that developed into pneumonia that ultimately got him... people get over this kind of stuff all the time.. but not this time..

My dad smoked lucky strikes since he was 15 years old he quit 2 years ago but not before he developed emphizema, COPD and congestive heart failure... that is what allowed this shitty little cold to take away the person who chased away all the monsters, who bought me my first guitar, who taught me how to fish and fight and how to be a man...

i am 34 years old and i still called him for advice.. i am going to miss him...it kills me that he wont be able to see my sons grow up to be men..

my dad was only 65 when he died... too young... He told me many times he wished he would have never smoked or that he woulld have stopped when he was younger.. if any of you who smoke read this take my dads advice ( i can vouch for the quality of his advice)... quit now.. dont wait... so your son or daughter wont have to sit heretrying to express how much they are going to miss you...

i.. am going to miss you dad....

Man... I have seen people profiting from the dead, but this guy has gone too far! Grasping at straws he shows that he is willing to print whatever it takes to make a buck off of the dead.

Now I am biased... everyone here knows that I love Hendrix, but this is blatantly libellous. The fact that he will not divulge his sources is proof that he is pushing BS!

Read on.... and if you get mad enough, try not to throw a beer bottle at the wall.. which is what I almost did! This writer is no better than the Paparazzi!

A friend in Oz sent this to me.

The Miracle of Toilet Paper

Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror complaining to my husband that my breasts are too small. Instead of characteristically telling me it's not so, he uncharacteristically comes up with a suggestion. "If
you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a piece of toilet paper and rub it between them for a few seconds."

Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts. "How long will this take?" I asked. "They will grow larger over a period of years," my husband replies. I stopped. " Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the years?" Without missing a beat he says "Worked
for your butt, didn't it?"

He's still alive, and with a great deal of therapy he may even walk
again. Stupid, stupid man.

Has any one here heard of these guys they rule!
the two main members are:
Hansi Kürsch - from Blind Guardian
Jon Schaffer - from Iced Earth

Metal fans should really give these guys a listen

other than the color

I have had several guitars (Gibson, Fender, Hamer, PRS, Ibanez, Jackson, etc..) and played many many in stores including most high end customs.

BUT - I have never had the opportunity to play a good Dean guitar.

The one that I saw that I liked the most was the one Michael Angelo played on his Speed Kills DVD in the "Revisited" section.

It looked like some kind of hardtail archtop with a Maple Top and had what appeared to be an upside down bass headstock.

It was a beauty and very articulate.

Does anyone know what Dean that was?
By the way, does Dean make combination radius necks?

Heck I think it looks really cool slap some new pickups in one and ya just may have a great axe?!

What in the world was goin' on?!?


I know....another useless thread, so sue me...

About 2 hours ago, an Air France Airbus A340 went off the end of the runway here at Pearson Airport where both my wife and I work as Air Traffic Controllers. I am at home, my wife however was working in the tower at the time. Shortly after, it burst into flames. I have been sick to my stomach ever since. But now, I get word of a miracle, they are reporting everyone got off the aircraft and survived.

This stuff is terribly tramatic to those of us who spend our work days ensuring airplanes stay safe. My hat goes off to the men and women of emergency services, and the crew of the aircraft that obviously did an amazing job of ensuring everyone got off safely. It was only moments, seconds before the flames erupted, and the fact that everyone escaped is a miracle.

An incredible miracle!

I will sleep a little better tonight!

Look in the middle of the page, near the bottom. It's a trans blue maple top Z.

What's unusual is that he isn't listing it with the Time Capsules on top. He has a '79 listed to the left and another below it.

By the position of it on the website, it would appear to be a lower end guitar compared to a TC.

Is it some kind of special '79???

What is it?

Hey all

I installed a newer version of Fruity Loops and I made this track. What do you guys think of the sound? I added the reverb in Fruity Loops, rather than adding the reverb in Adobe Audition, like what I normally do.

Sorry the clip is so short!

That I recieve my very first Dean.
Dimebag tribute ML will be mine!!!
AND have ordered a dimebucker to slot into it.

Only problem is what to play on it first. I have narrowed it down to...
A New Level
I'll Cast A Shadow
or
New Found Power

I have 24 hours to ponder

Atavism and Traveller.

This makes 4 CD's by these guys I have. Great band. A odd mix of Iron Maiden, drinking songs and straightforward hard rock. If anyone runs across a CD by these folks or gets a chance to check them out live - I highly recommend it.

that is all....carry on.



http://www.digitalsoundplanet.com/Members/000114566_000029998.mp3

if anyone is interested - I Will Kill You/You Will Die from Atavism (not the most original name, but is chock full of tastey riffs)

I got a Tribute ML factory second. The only flaw I can see is that they forgot to put the sticker on the body. I traded my boy straight up for his bolt-on Czech Z... which will now be my next paint job victim. He is totally stoked by the ML... loves the shape. It is lighter too.. I think it suits him just fine!

Leaving for Nebraska tomarrow night, but i don't think I'll be on the computer until I get back. I'm probably ordering my razorback when I get there(it just struck me that I haven't decided which one I want )I'm leaning towards the two tone. So see you guys in like two weeks.

I just put in my Livewire and i love!!! it.

I wanna take out my 59 cause I dont use it, but I dont want the hole to be here all ugly lookin.

Im thinking about putting a ticker over it, but do they make plastic pickup coverings?

Today I had to go over to one of our Infantry Battalions to load a software patch on a system. These two guys got in an argument over how to spell the word "jail". The first one said to the other "What the hell do you mean? Are you like "My cousin Chester is in jail again or, This morning I put some gel in my hair.". Mind you the both of them are pronouncing both words the same. The sentence the word was being used in called for "jail". The first guy REALLY though that "jail" shoud be spelled "gel". They even argued that it may be "jale". Finally a third guy jumps in and starts yelling at both of them "YOU @#$$%^ MORONS!!! WHY DO YOU THINK EVERYONE CALLS INFANTRYMEN IDIOTS??? ITS BECAUSE OF JERKOFFS LIKE YOU TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!" I was rolling. I guess you had to be there.

EDIT: Im not busting on grunts for any of you 11Bs out there. I know you all arent like that. These guys were in a league of thier own.

whoever recommended the lemon oil and steel wool for the fretboard. i did the lemon oil to 3 guitars, 2 acoustics and 1 eletric and the electric with steel wool, now it plays even better like butter now

just wanted to thank the ones who helped me with it.
you know who you are!!!

At there recent concert in Dallas Dream Theatre, Dave Mustaine of Megadeth, Burton C. Bell of Fear Factory and Russell Allen of Symphony X covererd Cememtry Gates by Pantera. I hope a mp3 over a vid pops up for this it would be great!

just wanted to ask if anyone has any good settings for the pq3
I bidded on one and got outbid and the buyer didnt pay so i got it from the seller for $54 bucks with shipping included.
its a blackface unit with red knobs. I cant wait to test drive it on my randall rg100es.

p.s. whats the difference in these and the green face models and the reissue units?
also does anyone have a picture of a reissue unit front and back?

thanks in advance

Hey all...

Finally decided to get back on the recording horse (after my last band split up I haven't tried much). Spent about 3 hours this past weekend futzing around with Guitarport and Rifftracker. The drum machine sucks (I only have the demo), but a DJ friend of mine is fixing that for me as I type this. Check out what I've got so far at www.myspace.com/thirsty1

Please be gentle when leaving comments.

Two things...the converting a Dimesime into a southern cross title in the Dime section has been changed to .... and all the pics are gone. As I noticed that, in my sig where it said Washbuurn has been changed to *********.
Seems like someone doesnt like washburns. I thought that they could be a part of the Dime section. wierd seems you cant even say the word "washburn" without it changing to *********

Just noticed JammerML's color changed to green

Congrats to the new Moderator. Now bring some kinda organization to this chaos will ya

i have pics from the car accident my sisters friends were in. the breaks only worked on one wheel when he went to stop, so he had to swerve to the right to keep straight, turned out he did it too much and the car rolled. everyone was fine for the most part except my sisters best friend had to be air lifted to the hospital, has a broken nose and also neededsurgery , they said she needs to have another one once this one heals.



















sorry if theyre big didnt have time to resize them.

anyone wanna chat?

Allright Im getting my first tube amp WHOOAAA right? Anyway I dont really understand the ohms part and what would work best for me. The head I ordered said it takes 1 x 8, 2 x 8, 1 x 16, 2 x 16 ohms. Now the cab Im ordering can take 8 ohm mono/stereo or 16 ohm m/s. So my question is whats the best one to go for? I'll basically be playing in my room and at eh 10-100 people shows I guess. What ohms would work best for that? Or even better could someone just explain what the difference is for each if any? Im sorta scatterbrained and confused so any input would be helpful, thanks

I went down to the US today for a shopping trip and I stopped by Mojo Music in Bellingham (it's kind of close to Seattle, I think). I tried a Hardtail, an ML XT, a Michael Schenker V, and a few others but I can't remember what they were. Man, Hardtails are incredible! I couldn't find anything wrong with the guitar. It felt so smooooooth, and the tone was really thick and clear. I'm not sure what kind of pickups were in the guitar, though. The ML-XT was pretty cool too, I really just wanted to play with the Floyd Rose. I'm thinking of getting a '79 ML-F now, but I'm scared of scared of the quality of the Floyds. Now, the Michael Schenker V. WOW. Probably the nicest Dean I've ever played! I'm not sure if it was a USA model, but it was set neck. I loved the neck! It wasn't fat at all like a Gibson neck, but it wasn't too thin like a Jackson or Ibanez neck. The quality was friggin amazing too, I thought the guitar was going to cost a bomb. I played that guitar for a good hour. The guy at the store let me plug into a Mesa Boogie Stilletto and then we cranked it when no one was in the store. I LOVE THAT GUITAR.

Anyway, it was a good day. I never get to try out any Dean guitars here since there is only 1 dealer who sells Deans, and they never have them in stock.

Mmmm... Michael Schenker V...

This was posted by THRIST1 over in the Tribute section. I figured I'd throw it up on here to see if there is an answer to be had on that.
I figure it's because they did buy the right to use that shape. Did they lose that when Dime left the company or did they keep it?
I figure more of you would see this in here since alot of you don't go over to the tribute section.

I'm just a cross poster so don't take it out on me....I'm all about Deans I promise!!!

I was just over on the Zakk Wylde forum (a place I troll occasionally looking for interesting stuff) and came upon a link to a *certain* Pittsburgh area guitar store that's been selling an awful lot of non-Dean Dime guitars on Ebay lately. Anyways, they're making NEW ones? How exactly is this possible? Any law buffs care to explain how they get away with this?


Edit: here's a link. Keep in mind this is me bringing this to the attention of this community, where it should be met with righteous outrage. I am NOT endorsing this brand, and fully agree with the future word-filter changing of it to "Firewood"... I just really wonder if there's going to be legal action. http://www.************.com/boogieboard/viewtopic.php?t=842

It is supposed to get up to 98 degrees in Portland Oregon today. That's nothing for you Southern folks.... but it is going to melt all the snowmen here!

How is it where you guys are? Getting hot yet?

I don't have air-conditioning where I stay here and have to try to sleep during the daytime! It's going to be a rough week!

Hi all of You!

Well, went to Peoria, IL to look for the perfect guitar and amp. What did I find? It was kind of hard do to the first store due to it had absolutely nothing. All the neat stuff they had was rental. I seriously walked in and waited for the southern whistle and a tumbleweed to roll by. Me and my buddy Andy were only there for 5-10 minutes before we left. Next was this place called Flores. It was a pretty cool place had a whole wall full of Mesa/Boogie full stacks and a whole wall of high end PRS's and Jackson among a ton of other guitars. I was thinking we were going to be spending a good amount of time in there. I was wrong. You couldn't play guitars with picks. So I picked up a used guitar and played it with a pick, because you could do that. I plugged it into some Mesas and I REALLY don't like Mesa very very brittle sounding, I toyed with it for awhile. Played a few other amps there, didn't really dig them. Played the VOX AC-30 it was pretty cool for cleans, almost acoustic sounding, but it was nice. So, we were there for about a half an hour. Next stop was Guitar Center. The place was really big compared to the stores we have here in Decatur. The guys didn't hound me like when I went to Corpus Christi's Guitar Center. Lots of cool guitars and they let me play with picks! Played a few Gibson Les Pauls (Standards and Classics) and they were pretty cool. But what I dug more than the Gibsons was a $600-$700 Schecter C-1 Classic. It was really nice, the finish was a black cherry and the neck was a lot similar to the Dean '79 Series. Not to mention, you probably wouldn't get scoliosis playing the Schecter. As for Amps at guitar center... They really didn't have anything. I played the TSL-40 from Marshall and it sounded almost exactly like my Marshall AVT-150. I was going to try out some Line6 Modeling amps, but that was short lived because none of them worked except the Spyder 2 Halfstack. It was pretty impressive for the head being about $300. It wouldn't replace my amp by any means, but it was pretty good for $300. So, out of all the junk I played here's the things not on my crap list:
Schecter C-1 Classic
Marshall AVT-150
Peavey XXX
Line6 Spyder (it was $300, gotta give it some credit)
VOX AC-30

Maybe I'm not a tube guy? The only tube amps I have played and liked are the Peaveys and the Fenders for the cleans (aside from the two I listed up there)

I was going to different forums earlier to tell people about Dean guitars... here's some of the stuff I ran into.

It's been a long stressful ride lately at work, but it looks like it's about to pay off. Next week I'll be back in the field again, doing AOC lane training for 4ID and 1CAV (training them to go back to the desert). All during this I'll be studying my ass off for the promotion board, as they've decided that since I've done the job of an E6 and E7 for so many years I finally deserve to be promoted to E6. Plus being a squad leader currently it allows me to finish out my time in a leadership position, which means early promotion to E7 if things pan out correctly. Yes I know I need to baby my NCOER but I care more about my soldiers than my damn NCOER, and quite frankly would prefer to keep things focussed on them rather than myself, honestly.

I hate the politics of the Army, I really do. After E6 I probably won't take any more promotions just because of the political shuffle from 7 up.

OK, have to run again, taking care of soldiers is a job that never ends!

PEACE

not only does it look awesome...it rocks!

Just got my guitar back from billy at guitar electronics here in phx!!Man billy did a great job on my frets guitar plays 10 times better than it did!!If u live in phx get your repair done by billy hes the best in phx!!I cant wait to get my ml refretted!!

Why do sellers on ebay think that after they wright ML, that they have to ad " dimebag" on there... this is very annoying and rude to use someones name where it shouldnt be just to get your guitar to sell for a lil more cash, i can understand dimebag tribute models, but stuff like ml xt's and ml f's, come on...

I think I might have to order one of their T shirts..

Well, went to see Maiden last night at the Molson (Named after a Beer Company, Doh!) Amphitheatre here in Toronto for the umpteenth time since 1982!!! Maiden were awesome as always, and that 3 Guitar attack they have now has been so cool since Adrian Smith returned. I was quickly reminded of who my Favorite Metal Guitarist really is upon seeing DAVE MURRAY playing again! His "Fluidity" in Soloing is awesome!!!

The guy is so laid back and always smiling, met him briefly here in 83 and was the nicest guy, as they all seem to be...................

Anyway, I digress. The Maiden Show was almost two hours and they are only performing songs from their Debut, Killers, Number of the Beast and Piece of Mind, AWESOME!!!

Now what is the deal with Mastodon??? They started off with a song that was mostly Instrumental, they remind me of Rush on Steroids musically, then this guy starts GROWLING in the freaking microphone!!! The MUSIC was awesome but those Vocals gotta go! There is only one place for Vocals like that and that is with Tom Araya of Slayer!

They did sort of redeem themselves with an AWESOME Cover of Thin Lizzy's "Emerald" at the end of their set!!!

All in all and awesome night!!!

...I've seen this on the' bay in the UK. Despite another ebay seller jumping on the 'dimewagon' I quite fancy the guitar, just wondering what you guys think?
What ML is it? It's not a 79 is it? What's with the position of the jack and toggle switch? In fact where is the jack?!
I was thinking it was one of the tropical mls that were slightly altered shapewise...but then I don't know anything!
Any help will be appreciated!
Cheers Sam

Getting ready to move into my new Studio/Guitar Room/Rehersal Area this weekend, having mixed emotions about it. I am happy to have the space and may even go commercial in this location, At the same time Im afraid the band will not recover from the fact that our drummer is going to be out of commision for a long time to come. So it looks like I move my equiptment in by myself. May just hafta get staggered this weekend. Gonna make the neighborhood dogs howl though. Ill try and get some pics if I can get my camera to work with this computer, its old and doesn't seem to work with XP.

First pics of my new Vendetta 2.0 TransRed. I should have it Monday or Tuesday. I'll get more pics up then.

How does it play? I can tell you right now that it plays 1000x better than I can. LOL

Thanks to Tim (harley) at Center Stage Music!

Or should I say Mustaine's Greatest Hits (and Solos). Anyone else watching this???

Megadeth is my #2 Fave Band, but Mr. Mustaine's EGO never ceases, and never ceases to piss me off as a Fan! The Sound Quality of the DVD is Carp! I took the first one I bought back to the store for exchange in hopes that the "Volume Level Changes" were a Fluke! No Such Luck! The Replacement SUCKS as well.
Ooooppps! Meant to post this here!!!

My BIGGEST complaint is that Mr. Mustaine has nicely "Mastered" out Marty Friedman's Guitar Parts!!! Oh, and of course his Guitar Parts are Loud & Clear! What is with that s#%t??? Marty is an AWESOME Guitarist, as is Dave..................Marty was a big part of "Deth" back in the day, he deserves more respect.

You can really tell that this Greatest Hits thing is a Contract Fullfilment Deal!!! I sure hope Dave wouldn't release something this Crappy on purpose!!!

I hope the Megadeth Arsenal DVD Kicks Arse! Starting to lose faith..............

Chris

Look in the Dean Store!!!1111

Coming soon

what was the reason? was it a cd you listened to that the guitarist just ripped.. just wanted to for fun, or something else?

i did cuz i love music and because of guitarists like dime and other people.

I just bought tickets to see Journey and the "convenience fee" and the "handling fee" added up to $25 for two tickets - so my $52.50 seats ended up being $127.50 WTF!!!! Can't wait to see what parking is gonna cost!!! Anyone else been "bent over" at the ticket window lately? . . . hope you had some lube

Shouldn't I at lest get a couple hits of "Mr Natural" Acid for that price . . . . . . oh I forgot - then I'd have to drive home stoned - you know after a rock concert . . . Bwahahahahahahahaha

I won a bid on this Iceman copy :
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7339116150&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

did it kinda quick - looked cool and was cheap - on the other hand Mazi Bee just got an awesome V Select for $300.
So he doesn't take paypal - and wants to use Bidpay - which I think means I eat the payment costs.

he has a long kind of weird story about a guy he sold to - cancelled the payment to Paypal - so they took his money back. and he'd sent the guitar. and about the buyer he says:

" the guy who ripped me off along time ago was canadian and did
not have a confirmed address so paypal would not help me. and the phone calls i made were to a guy who claimed the dude was a roomate and not him and he ran out with out paying rent and is no longer available. The guitar and shipping was 489 tplus 45.00 so it wasn't so serious the Mounted police are going to do anything. "

this was his response to me wondering why he didn't pursue the guy in some way .

So I suggested we both fax each other a xerox of our driver's license as proof of Id/residence - a a trust and comfort zone builder. First guy I go my first Dean EVO from did this and the guy I got my USA Caddy also suggested this himself.

so the guy says :

"Dude, i live on a boat! i don't have a fax machine and i have to drive
then pay for any faxing i do at a dollar a page. i have great feedback
and it isn't a diamond ring you're buying it is only 389.00 and
shipping...and you are taking a long time. Are you new to ebay/ i just got
dicked around by a guy who bid on my Les Paul then didn't pay. A newbie. I
don't need your lisence etc. I am registered with western union/bidpay
and they have my info.

Chris "

that sounded Preeety weird.
I'm thinkin
"He lives in a VAN ... DOWN by the RIVER"

So I emailed one ebayer who bought from him
and says he's OK and he got the guitar
(but his feedback says it had a broken toggle switch)

I mailed another few guys on the bay including the guy that supposedly ripped him.
We'll see.

Anyone ever hear of these guitars? or this guy Chris.
this was kind of a lazy compulsion buy - I didn't notice the NO PAYPAL part .. but it feels kinda weird.

Thanks for any input/insights.

Bob

Interesting concept. I like it. I don't know if anyone here remembers the Negativland vs. U2 controversy... but it was terrible to see a corporate music giant stomp a small-time band into the pavement for doing a parody of them... yes, "Bono" and "The Edge" have bazillions of dollars and no sense of humor.

These pictures are scary. It is almost hard to believe that this stuff is for real.

Yeah! Just got my '67 Fender Bassman Hot Rod amp back from the Tech!


A few caps and a new socket and tube for the reverb driver and she's screaming again!

The bass channel is voiced like a PLEXI, and the norm channel is like a Dumble/Boogie. It's a Bassman, but in a Bandmaster Reverb box, with the Badmaster Reverb! And it has a tube rectifier. Can you say SAG? I use an A B Y switch into both channels. Both at once iz way 2 cool. Rolling the guitar vol.knob back to around 5-6 cleans it up on both channels without ANY volume loss! Spin it back to the stop, and it's GROWL CITY! Thanks again to Jay, TNVOL, for the swap we did for this amp! It is absolutely PERFECT for me!

One day, when I'm a big rich rock star, I'm going to have my own Dean signature model. And the headstock is gonna look like this...

What is the difference between a 79 ml and a 81 ml? I have heard people say they sound better than the 79's and they seem more rare than them also. What am I missing here? They look the same to me.

Hey guys, the show went off without a hitch and we definately rocked the heck out of that place! The crowd loved us after every song. It was kinda weird playing with monitors and drum mics but it just added to wall of sound we had going Here's some of the better pics that were taken

















Left to right in most of them is:
Kyle (Gibson SG)
Mike (Pearl Drums/Saiban Cymbals)
Charles (Shure Mic)
Me (Dean Edge 1)
Matthias (Gibson Explorer '76 reissue)

I know I have been asking around and talking to people about prices on ML's because i am planning my next purchase, but I seriously still do not know what I am going to buy. It has to have some point aspect so I have nailed it down to ML,V,Caddy,Z in that order, but I am starting to look at the V, Caddy and Z and I have become curious. I don't have any large dean dealers in my area so I cannot play these guitars to see how comfortable with them so I am going to have to rely on you guys for this one. I would like your personal product reviews on all the fine products I have listed above. Thank you in advance.

P.S.-I already know about the ML because i have the 332 and have played ML's before but it would be nice to you see your reviews anyway. It can maybe even be helpful for other people who are undecided like me.

His site is great to browse through

I got this emailed to me about a week ago:

Dear Friend,

Here is yet another opportunity to make some money. Before you curse and send this message to the recycle bin along with the multitude of others that are dropped into your in box every day, please take a moment to glance at the opportunity that presents itself here. First and foremost, I want you to understand that I am not spamming you, at least by my own definition of the word. If you have received this offer, then one of four things have happened:

You have sent me your business opportunity, unsolicited;

I have seen your ad, but already participate in the program being offered;

I do not participate in your business opportunity, but have requested information about it; or

I have at least reviewed your business opportunity, but have chosen not to participate at this time (obviously, I cannot do everything at once).

So, that being said, I would like you to read the text below, all the while keeping an open mind. I can tell you that it has worked because it has worked for me. I have also been in contact with people who have sent me these offers in the past and they seem to have done well by this opportunity. Well, if you think that this program can benefit you, you be the sole judge, then by all means, participate. After all, you really have nothing to lose but Ł5 and 1 or 2 hours of your time.
Before we begin, here are some comments from people who have already participated in this venture:


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to share this with you. I am sure, like me, you have tried many different opportunities at home and most of them don't work, or they want money we don't have. I figured what's a fiver when we have spent so much more... Marie Swansea
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thought you might find this interesting...I decided to try this one also. I figure what do I have to lose but a few quid?... Cheryl Swansea
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are prepared to read on, BE PREPARED TO GET EXCITED... YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Read the following and you will agree this is a very exciting opportunity. Only invest a little bit of time and your reward could mean thousands of pounds! Good luck! "IT'S OUTRAGEOUS!!! With 2 hours of work I have made over Ł11,000.00 in the last 3 weeks... and my investment was just Ł5.00!!! I LOVE IT! THANK YOU! 11,000 X's!!!" -Julie M. Cardiff
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you need to make a few thousand dollars REALLY FAST, then please take a moment to read this simple program I am sharing with you. No, it is NOT what you think! YOU DO NOT have to send Ł5.00 to five people to five people to buy a report, buy a recipe, or any other product. Nor will you need to invest more money later to get things going. Complete it in ONE HOUR and you will never forget the day you first received it. If you are doing other programs, by all means stay with them, but do this program as well if you CAN'T WAIT two to three months while your other programs start to work for you.
This Is How It Works
Unlike many other programs, this three-level program is more realistic and much, much faster. Because it is so easy, the response rate for this program is VERY HIGH and VERY FAST, and you will see the results in two weeks or less! Just in time for next month's bills!
You only mail out 20 copies (not 200 or more as in other programs). You should also send them to PEOPLE WHO SEND YOU THEIR PROGRAMS because they know THESE PROGRAMS WORK and they are already believers in the system! Besides, this program is much, much FASTER and has a HIGHER RESPONSE RATE.

Even if you are already in a program, STAY WITH IT, but do yourself a favor and DO THIS ONE as well, START RIGHT NOW! It's simple and takes a very small investment. It will pay off long before other letters even begin to trickle in!

Just give ONE person a Ł5.00 gift. That's all!

Follow the simple instructions and in TWO WEEKS you will have Ł10,000 in your bank account!!! Because of the LOW INVESTMENT, SPEED and HIGH PROFIT POTENTIAL, this program has a VERY HIGH RESPONSE RATE. JUST ONE (1) Ł5.00 Note THAT'S YOUR INVESTMENT!

Follow These Simple Instructions
On a blank sheet of paper write "Please add me to your mailing list". Write your name and address clearly and include your Email address (if you have one) for future mailings and courtesy follow-ups. Fold it around a US $5.00 bill and send this to the FIRST name on the list (#1). Only the FIRST PERSON on the list gets YOUR NAME AND A FIVE DOLLAR GIFT.
Note: This is a service and is 100% legal (Refer to US Postal & Lottery Laws, Title 18, Sections 1302 aned 1341 or Title 18, Sections 3005 in the US Code, also in the Code of Federal Regulations, Volume 1, Sections 255 and 436, which state that "a product or service must be exchanged for money received"). This is also legal in Canada, by the way.


Retype the list ONLY. REMOVING the FIRST (#1) NAME FROM THE LIST. Move the other two names UP and ADD YOUR NAME to the list in the THIRD (#3) position.

Send out 20 copies of this letter. Note: By sending this letter via Email, the response time is much faster and you save the expense of envelopes, stamps, and copying services.

Consider this: MILLIONS of people "surf the Internet" everyday, all day, all over the World! FIFTY THOUSAND new people get on the Internet every month! An excellent source of names is the people who send you other programs, and the names listed on the letter they send you. Your contact source is UNLIMITED. It boggles my mind to think of all the possibilities!
Mail, or should I say Email, your letter TODAY! It's so easy, ONE HOUR of your time. THAT'S IT!

To send your newsletter by Email:

1. Go to "Edit" and "Select All"
Go to "Edit" and "Copy"
Start (compose) a new Email message
Address your Email and Subject Blocks
Go to "Edit" and "Paste"
After you have pasted this article in your new Email, delete the old header and footer (Subject, Date, To, From, Etc..). Now you can edit the names and addresses with ease. I recommend deleting the top name, adding your name and address to the bottom of the list, then simply changing the numbers.
THERE'S NOTHING MORE TO DO. When your name reaches the first position in a few days, it will be your turn to collect your gifts. The gifts will be sent to you by 1,500 to 2,000 people like yourself, who are willing to invest Ł5.00 and one hour to receive Ł10,000 in cash. That's all! There will be a total of Ł10,000 (or more) in Ł5.00 notes in your letterbox in two weeks.

Ł10,000 for an hour's work! I think it's WORTH IT, don't you?

GO AHEAD--TRY IT. IT'S Ł5.00! EVEN IF YOU JUST MAKE 3 OR 4 THOUSAND. WOULDN'T THAT BE NICE? IF YOU TRY IT, IT WILL PAY!!!

TRUE STORY
Cindy Allen writes: I ran this gift summation four times last year. The first time I received over Ł7,000 in cash in less than two weeks and over Ł10,000 in cash in the next three times I ran it. I can't begin to tell you how great it feels not to have to worry about money anymore! I thank GOD for the day I received this letter! It has truly changed my life! Don't be afraid to make gifts to strangers, they'll come back to you ten-fold. So, let's keep it going and help each other in these "tough and uncertain times".
Many of us just want to pay off our bills, buy a new car or buy a new home for our famly. Whatever your reasons or needs are, this program worked for Cindy and thousands of others (just like you and I) time and time again! THIS PROGRAM CAN AND WILL WORK FOR YOU!!!

Can I Do It Again?
OF COURSE YOU CAN...This plan is structured for everyone to send only twenty (20) letters each. However, you are certainly not limited to twenty. Mail out as many as you can. Every twenty letters you send has a return to you of Ł10,000 or more. If you can mail forty, sixty, eighty, or whatever. GO FOR IT! THE MORE YOU PUT INTO IT, THE MORE YOU GET OUT OF IT!
Each time you run through this program, just follow the steps (1) through (3) and everyone on your gift list benefits! Besides, there are no mailing list to buy (and wait for), no further trips to the printer or copiers, and you can do it again and again with your regular group of gifters, or start up a new group. Some people produce a mailing list of opportunity seekers and send out 200 or more.

Why not? It beats working! Each time you receive a MLM offer in the mail, respond with THIS letter! Your name will climb to the number one position at dizzying geometric rates.

Follow the simple instructions and above all, please "PLAY FAIR." That's the key to this program's success. Your name must run the "full gamut" on the list to produce the end results. "Sneaking" your name higher up on the list WILL NOT produce the results you think, and it only cheats the other people who have worked hard and earned the rights to be there. So please, play by the rules and the ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ will come to you!!! ---------------Mail Your Letters Out Today-----------

$$$ TOGETHER WE WILL PROSPER $$$
Mail your Ł5.00 "Gift" to the first name on the list ONLY. Remove the first name and move the other two up one place and put your name in the #3 position.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Wishing you the best in all you do! You probably don't believe this will work, but if you don't try it you will never know. That's the way I felt. Try it. You won't be sorry.

I also felt that way, but I am going to try it. If I can send $5 and get back $500, I'll be happy. Good luck!

So I buy a Dimebag tribute ML. It arrived last friday. Had fun playing it over the weekend.
But come Monday morning, at about 11am, what do I see, but another Dimebag tribute ML delivered to my door.

So it seems I have two Deans for the price of one,


I wont mention where I bought it from however, but I am going to do the honest thing and return it. It's only a matter of time before they ask for it back. So I thought I'd save myself the hassle.

But, I did however choose the better one. One of them was slightly rough on the back of the neck, one was smooth. Guess which one i chose

Hahaha... I know what you were thinking!

I installed my 16 space rack today. I still need to get the patch bay hooked up which is going to require a truckload of cables... but it will mean very quick changes to my setup without getting behind the bastard! Still four more spaces to fill.... hmmm... what to do... what to do....



Post up pics of your racks! Let's check out your rack!

Here are some pics of my gear. Nowhere near as nice as anyone else's on this site (I'm only 16:(), but I'm still trying.







Bought the Behringer this week... It's soooo freakin' cool! I'm having a blast with it. Can't wait til I can afford the 4x12 cab to go with it.

anyone wanna chat?

Don't know if it's permitted or not, so admins, feel free to pull this post....

For Sale:

Digitech 2120 Artist with updated processor. MINT condition. Control One foot pedal also included in asking price. Serious inquiries only.


PM me for more info if you are interested.


Wanted to run it by anyone before I set it up on Ebay.

I'm wondering, would I be wasting money using i guess, any type of overdrive pedal with a 5150? I can turn up the pre-gain to the point of lots of feedback. But here's what i'm wondering...

Doesn't the overdrive pedal saturate the power amp? The pedal forces the tubes to run a little hotter giving a more unique sound than just turning up the pre-gain?

Is it a waste or worth checking out?

I love The Smoking Gun because of stories (and mugshots) like this:
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/0721051gold1.html

The mugshot would make a hilarious avatar!

Just got my first Dean (FBD) 2 weeks ago and totally kicks A$$.
I've been meaning to post earlier but I can't seem to put the guitar down!
And after reading other posts here I know I'm gonna be nagged about posting pics. Well.. I've uploaded one but my below 70 IQ type a$$ can't figure out how to post it..

Yesterday I started having some problems with it, Nothing big tho, but I'm gonna put a post in the tech area if anyone would care to check it out.

cheers

Have you contacted the dealer yet? They should take it back and send you another one.

Just curious what age groups are here I'm 26; turn 27 on the 12th.

Funniest thing I've heard all day!

Guys, had to make some security updates. We are back up and good to go. Enjoy!

Quick, request for those of you who have proven to be the photoshop gods of the board. I'm looking for ideas for my Epiphone project. Just basic paint schemes. Also if youwanna set up a cool relic'd job, that'd be appreciated as well. Thank you in advance!!

Look... i love my Bel Aire's and most of the other vintages i have played...i like the new usa hard tails but that is about it... what is up with all the poor quality bolt on guitars that make up Deans lower cost import line..... for the same money i can buy a Jay Turser or and Agile and get a top quiality guitar... My turser looks the same as a set neck evo. But the quality and sound is hands down better..

These chinese and korean set necked guitars are getting better all the time.. a guy i Jammed with has an Agile Destroyer and it is much better than its Ibanez counterpart. I hate to say it but my next guitar will be An Agile..

There is no need to have a bolt on neck on any Dean guitar anymore. it is ok to have usa models that are superior to your cheaper line but i may be wrong in assuming that dean makes the bulk of its money from their cheaper line... Agile or dillon sells a set necked v for 139.00 If Dean had the manufacturer that makes these make the same for them with a v headstock they could sell it for at least 275 -300.00 and it would sell like hotcakes..

The Chinese and Korean guitar plants do private label work their customers.. they make basically the same guitar with some physical differnces for all their customers.. so on one side they be making their own brand (Agile) and on the other they may be making Jay Tursers or Fenders or what ever..

If US Guitar companies like Dean do not take advantage of this trend towards high quality affordable guitars. i think it is a big mistake..

Something happened last night as the chat board was down for a while!! Right after/during all that posting and everyone online!!

Man I fell for it. If you get an email that tells you your bid on an item has been cancelled, do not click on the item number in the e-mail! It takes you right to your login page to check the item... then you have to log in twice and the item is something really stupid like baby items....

I immediately closed all my windows and logged into a regular ebay window and changed my password.

Don't fall for this one... it is pretty clever.

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE
George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to
bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden
shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and he said "no". Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

"Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.

Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed. One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!" George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

(True Story) I'snt that messed up!?!?

I hear alot of people saying this forum is starting to suck??Well thats bs!!this forum is full of people that R really cool and its really a great place for information, good people ,and shredding guitar players!!yeah theres always going to be people whos opinions or intrestes are different but thats life anywhere you go!!!!And if you want to talk about Dime or whoever your hero is feel free!!I dont think we should exclude anybody because everone talks about them.Post about your fav I like new people to check out.this forum has turned me on to many bands and freinds.My 2 cents this is the best forum enjoy it!!

This is my son.....



This is my son on Crack....

I've been kind of thinking about getting one. I think the sound is really cool. I was hoping someone played these and could just mention how hard/easy they are to play compared to a guitar?

Thanks

Awesome album great lyrics, vocals and songs though out the album. What a voice this man has just awesome. Comes with a cd rom interview and all. A must for a true King's X fan.!

I was on the phone with a customer and she told me that she just wanted the basic line so to make sure i said "Just the bacon line?" Yeah the bacon has crept into my head. I realize i should be a little scared or confused but the bacon just feels so right.

Might be old news to some people but I just picked up the newest issue of Revolver. On the cover is pretty much the main acts of Ozzfest and Zakk is holding his bullseye razorback. Guitar is in the mag at least 2 or 3 more times. Nice shot of Zakk and Rita too. Overall a good mag.

i just bought a dean ml but the paint is completly nackered and i was to respray but dont have any ideas i was hopeing to do it like os dimes but i am not shore how does any have any pics to show how to do it.

Hey Brothers! Just got a chance to cycle through the "Razrback Flame Post from Hell". I can't believe it!!! I wish I was online for that !!!

Has there been any other word on this or is it a DEAD issue??? I imagine Elliott and Dean will be investigating though huh?

Hope everyone is well! Pouring Rain here, we NEED it!!!

C.

What do you guys do to entertain yourself from the mundane??

For instance: when I knock on a door to announce that I'll be roaming peoples property...I sometimes like to let fly with a rancid S.B.D. before they get to the door!!
Also: I used to work at a printing company. While at my current job, I made a very professional magnetic sign that read: "THE VILLIAGE IDIOTt" (minus the extra 't' of course) and put it on this real jackass of a dude's work trucks tailgate!! This sign was like,14"x22", big enough to read from the other lanes. This guy drove from North Richland Hills to Arlington during morning traffic!! (For those of you familiar with the D/FW area.) For those of you who are not--it's a long ways! Every morning after that for months- the guys would drive a few hundred feet from our meet site, walk around the truck, then get going to work!!

Another great one is: slap a big zip-tie around your "marks" driveshaft!! The incredible noise makes them think that the vehicle falling apart!!

O.K., so it's not a guitar, still looks like fun.....

hi folks, I'm thinking of throwing a couple of non-Deans on the 'Bay to clear house a bit. I don't play these guitars and they're just taking up space. I was wondering what the best practices on the 'Bay are? Besides good pics and whatnot. Is it best to start at a buck, set a reserve and let it fly? Or start at the amount you really want for it and see if it goes up? Or start low with a higher than wanted Buy It Now and see if you get lucky?

And then there is the matter of shipping. I've had guitars show up unscathed packed in everything from cased, double boxed with lots of goodies to cusion things (thank you Dave at BassandTreble)
To uncased, no gig bag in a homemade box with minimal packing and arrived in 1 piece unhurt.

Both axes do have decent hardshell cases as a starting point.

Thank you in advance.

finally made it 1,000 yaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeee for me, sorry for the pointless post.

Well it isn't entirly pointless, i do have a question . Is the evo selects neck simular to a hard tail select 's neck other then the sculpted set neck like the evos have ?

How many of you have played an older one... say from the 80's. I had the opportunity to play an 80's reborn and it was amazing! It was as good as my Custom Shop 68 LP Custom!

Has anyone tried any of the newer reissues from Tokai?

Anyone see the Roaming Gnome commercials yet? ROFL...

American appliances don't work in Europe hahahaha

Am I right?

I seem to remember a thread a long time ago about wireless systems but really don't remember the concenus. I have thinking about a wireless set up for a while now and have found a few that aren't too expensive, so what give any experiences with these things? Just in the practice studio for now. Don't know if we'll ever gig as the drummers future is unsure, but would be small club use anyway no big venues for us old guys.

I was always wondering, how they got that awesome look from the maple. Another thing, is the maple tops on the 79's and the FBD real solid wood?

Sorry, but no bacon pics... unfortunatly we don't "use" it that much over here as you guys!

Can anyone tell me what's the difference between these guitars?
I'm thinking sound, feel, wood, weight, neck, pups etc..

And also what music styles they are suitable for...

Any info highly apreciated!

Have you guys played through Behringer cabs at all? How do they sound? I want to get a cab that can handle a loud head, because I plan on buying a cab and running my combo amp through it untill I have enough money to buy the head. and Does anyone have any audio clips of the Ibanez weeping demon wah peddle, I am thinking of getting it but none of the stores around here have them.

I love my new Dean, but I have a little problem. The High E string
is sticking to the third fret bar on occasion, anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

anyone?

Hey guys, I was bored and browsing around the forumn. I found that topic of the guy who made all those razorbacks with Photoshop.. Pretty neat. Well I was bored and made a few razorbacks of my own:

Kerry King V Razorback:



Kerring King Wartribe 1 Razorback:



Tribal Razorback:




What do you guys think? If anyone posts their idea's, I'll try and make it into a razorback, or ML or whatever.

How do ya like them? To what would you compare them to?

Im lookin at a caddie, a v'detta, evo or an icon. Lookin for opinions on the icon, thanks............

Look in the Dime tribute area in "Dime style ML limited runs"
people just dont learn.

who would like to see a signature model come out of this pimpin' guitar???

i know i would buy it if i had a lot of money,

but i don't.

but it's a really awesome guitar

my fingers are really greasy from this fried chicken, but it was worth it



yea i know that's a bass. so don't tell me

Question on their Black Carpet/Metal Grill 4X12 cabs. Anyone deal with these folks and what kind of dealing were had? The prices seem rather low, or just sneakily shown.



Showing - This cab is available complete but speakerless for $269


Mix any Celestion Vintage 30s, Greenbacks , G12H30s, Classic Lead 80s, Eminence Swamp Thangs, Govenors, Private Jacks, Tonkers, Texas Heats $439.


Is the $439 the full price of the cab with any 4 of these in there? The Celestion V30's are approx $110 a pop from Musiciansfiend or 123. Looks like it would be the $269 plus the $439. If not, this seems to be one heck of a deal.

This is a statue on Saddams Palace Complex in Tikrit. His name was Saladim. He was a famous Kurd that fought Richard the Lionheart in the Third Crusade. The statue is really cool close up. What its doing on Saddams Complex is a mystery to me because Saddam used to kill Kurds any chance he had.


This is just a shot of one of the smaller palaces on the complex. Right now it is used to house troops in the new Iraqi Army. That whole area down there is where they train. All that training just to get shot by the insurgents.


This is the bridge to get over to the Iraqi side. Insurgents try to blow it up all the time. They love to blow bridges.


This is just some building with the 42nd ID Crest on it. Everyone calls it "The Fag Tag".

Dean V bass...IN YOUR FACE!

Bought a Dean exotica acoustic.Lovely guitar but the setup was awful. The nut was monstrously high which ive had to file down.Ive put in a bone saddle and the intonation(however much i compensate it)is driving me up the wall .Ive read that some electro acoustics prefer the plastic saddle(should i reinstall the pllastic one?)I thought i could deal with the setup problems myself but i am proved wrong.I bought this guitar new for £480 and i thought the least i could expect was a proper setup.Im now going to have to go to the expense of putting it in a repair shop.I know the potential this guitar has to offer but i am at my wits end as i almost reduced it to fire wood in a rage that was spawned from the pits of hell.Dean make great guitars but the person who set it up was probably meant to be working in the nuclear weapons factory down the road.Any advice would be welcome and any kind words to reduce my adrenalin levels.aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrghhhhhhhh

If this is/ has been discussed in another thread, someone please direct me there!
Just noticed that the big-name Stratocaster manufacturer is now coming up as a bunch of characters if typed on this site (you know, kind of like "oatmeal"?). I understand that this is the Dean Forum- just wondering if this practice is going to spread to all competition, or if there was a reason F-nd-r was singled out.

any DOA brethren in the greater NYC area? I will be making the Jammerml NYC tour between Sept. 19-23 (Training for work) wanted to see if anyone would like to meetup while I'm gonna be there....

Well, my first Dean just arrive via UPS today... a US Hardtail Pro in Walnut stain.

The guitar plays/sounds absolutely amazing... but one problem... it had a finish flaw on the headstock... its small but still, I dont expect that when I pay over 1k on an axe.

So I contacted the dealer I bought it from and will hopefully hear back from them to tomorrow and work out an exchange since I believe they had 2 of this model in stock.

Wish me luck.

Here is the picture.... think Im being overly picky?

Thanks... first post here.

Not a whole lot going on so here is a water color paintng I did last year in school...

excuse my ignorance...

i am going to buy a used dean v today it is a korean set neck brazilia burst.. i thought it was one of the 79 reissue ones but it doest have the big head stock like that ..i mean it is a regular dean v headstock but not huge likre the 79 reissues, zebra pickups yadda yadda ... so what is it?? always wanted a v and i am still going to buy it.. its in perfect, i mean perfect condition for 250 is that a good deal based on the model that it is?

Not too bad of a price, but it doesnt look like a regular ML. Does anyone know what this is? Ive seen it before but Im sure it didnt look like this.

Wow....show was great but way to farging LOUD. I was in the 8th row. Some songs were so loud that it took 30 seconds to figure out what it was. They played 1 brand new song and a ton of old ones. They played for 3 hours with a 10 minute break in the middle.

Silvertide, The Exies and Sum41 opened. I new I should have brought my earplugs........I'll be ringing for 2 days.


Lots of pyro and hot babes were part of the show. Even Pam was on the side of the stage watching with the 2 kids. Tommy did a sky show, hanging from a cable that hoisted him to 2 different risers that were high above on each side of the stage. Pretty cool!!

Just had a few shots, and a couple beers... and I'm feeling good. How bout you guys?

Well I wonder how Dime could pull it off.... I mean I feel great and all, but I doubt I could still play guitar as well as when I am sober... but then there he is.. drunk as hell in the mosh pit playing the Domination Solo.. I wish I coulda met the guy... my idol.. the legend...

OK so the summer is almost over and I have done nothing except poison my liver. I think I am coming to the conclusion that I can not moderate my drinking and will have to dry out for a while (this is about the fifth time I have reached this point of alcoholism!)

Anybody else feeling this? I know this is not A.A. ... but my DOA buddies opinion matters more to me.

EDIT: "Drying out" means "Quit drinking completely". Sorry about the slang... my head is so cloudy today I can hardly think straight.

Hey all

I'm doing some recordings on my computer, but my amp hums pretty loudly because all of my effects, and my overdrive is cranked too. Also, my computer monitor makes my amp hum even louder. Can you guys suggest some good noise gates/surpressors?

I scowered the main page for it but couldnt find it.

Hey guys,
Im a newbie to the Dean Community.I recently have switched to playing all Deans,even used them on our latest CD due out in a few weeks.We have one track on the upcoming DOA CD,but we just posted a track on our website...IT is a prog/power/thrash epic piece about 7 minutes long....Hope you all will check it out
www.alowerdeep.com Thanks...let me know what you think....

"She likes kissing Sam's hairless frame, littered with blackheads, brown warts and moles. Even his hindquarters have a large hernia lump.

Then there's his right eye, left a reddish-purple from cataracts, which stands out from the other, which is a milky white.

"I've never had a dog this much in love with me," Lockheed said. "I really baby Sam, and kiss him a lot. He's a toad [that's] going to turn into a prince."

1997 Parker Nitefly. Replaced the bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails double humbucker. Strap locks as well (no more dropping guitars)




This is my newest addition. A Takamine (not sure of the model right now) 12 string. I love the sound and it plays excellent. However I do need to take it into the shop to be set up. The high action from the 9th up makes it hard to bar and finger when in open tunings.








I've never owned a Dean guitar so I can't compare the Parker's feel vs Dean's feel. I can say that the Parker's Carbon fretboard and Titanium frets are amazing for sustain. It lacks a really good blues tone, but that could be corrected with enough effects. I find it to be very playable and responsive to minute vibratto.

PITTS VS. PREPS, the Louisiana-based band featuring former EXHORDER/FLOODGATE frontman Kyle Thomas, will be performing at the House of Shock Metal Fest on Saturday, August 20 at Twiropa in New Orleans, Louisiana. Also scheduled to appear at the festival are ATONE PAIN TRIBE, SHEDDING OLD SKIN, 11 REASONS, SINKHOLE, IN VAIN, SKINCRAWL, SOUTHERN WHISKEY REBELLION, LOWERLINE and MISLED. Doors at 5pm, show begins at 6pm. Tickets are $10 and available now at TwiRoPa Tickets.

Thomas had previously said about PITTS VS. PREPS' musical direction, "This is my only current project and it is centered around the truest sound of heavy metal in the realm of old JUDAS PRIEST and IRON MAIDEN. Check it out if you can, it's always a good party when we hit the stage."

Kyle is one of 57 artists contributing to Roadrunner Records' upcoming album to mark the label's 25th anniversary. The CD, entitled "The All-Star Sessions", will feature Thomas singing on a track called "Constitution Down", written by SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison. An October 11 release is expected. More information is available at this location.

I don't see the Boca among the Dean guitars anymore, I'm assuming it was discontinued. Does anyone know ?
A shame if so. I picked one up a few months ago and it was priced as low as a close-out so I thought they may be near the end of their run. This is a really nice playing, comfortable, small bodied semi-hb.
I'm not completely thrilled with the pick-ups but that's easily remedied. Maybe a nice set of chrome covered pups - PAF style or other vintage sounding would be a nice upgrade.
Well, if it is disco'd, maybe Dean will do another affordable HB in the near future.

Back to the point ... any verification that they discontinued this axe? Thanks

Dave Mustaine has moved up to #1 on my "Douchebag List"
I just talked to a guy I work with who was one of the Local opening bands for Dave Mustaines Gigantor tour, and he told me some pretty interesting things.

Mustaine himself billed this tour as "being a tour to help promote the local band scene." So, as it turns out Milwaukee was the only leg of the tour to feature Local Bands, and that was because the club brought them on. Also Mustaine decided to push up the start time 2 hours just to screw with the local bands so they couldn't catch any of the show. He also deciced that he was going to kick off one of the bands because they wrote him a letter thanking him for his support. Aaaand this comes from a while back, during the Countdown to Extintion tour after the show he basically told all the Local Bands to get the F out because the food/beer was for Megadeth only.

The guy may be able to play his A$$ off but I'll be damned if I'm ever even going to support a damn thing he puts out.

What's his beef with local bands??

Are you okay buddy

This is me playing a little bit of Walk by Pantera so people can see what the FBD and/or Dimebucker sound like. I'm running through a Jimi Hendrix Fuzz wah and a Zakk Wylde overdrive to my JCM 800 2205 (dual channel, 50 watts). I also have a Furman PQ-3 (black face) in the FX loop. For the solo, I have a Boss DD-5 delay on to add some breathing room. I have one speaker mic-ed up, which then ran to my computer and directly recorded...no after processing.

DISCLAIMER: First off, I have a broken finger on my left hand....the middle finger. That is the finger that supports my bending, so the bending on here kind of sucks, but I use the whammy bar to help compensate. The solo happens to be pretty hard with 3 fingers, but I'm getting used to it. I didn't spend a lot of time recording it (20 minutes maybe) so I could have gotten a better sound if I would have worked more. As you're probably aware, there is much more treble right next to the speaker than there is where you're standing, or should I say less bass and mids? So it's a bit harsh sounding, and the playing isn't dead on, but at least you'll get the idea. Enjoy!

Note: you're probably have to copy and paste the link to get it to work!

Is there any chance that Dean will manufacture any 24 fret/baritone Razorback or MLF style guitars in the not to distant future?

If not can I custom order from Dean USA?

Ozzy Osbourne is looking for a guitar player to write his next studio album with. All interested parties should send a package showcasing their guitar skills to:

Ozzy Osbourne Guitar Player
P.O. Box 5249
Beverly Hills, CA 90209

Osbourne announced on Friday (August 12) that this year's Ozzfest would be his last as a headliner, either with BLACK SABBATH or as a solo performer. In a statement, Osbourne revealed that Ozzfest would return in 2006, but that Osbourne would limit his performances to only a few selected cities.

Ozzy's last release as a solo artist was the "Prince of Darkness" box set, which was recently certified gold by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) for shipments in excess of 125,000 copies (multi-disc albums get counted once for each disc within the album; regular gold certification occurs at 500,000 copies).

Ozzy's "best of" collection, "The Essential Ozzy Osbourne", has sold 416,000 copies in the United States since its February 2003 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Early this morning, I started planning my 'Dean futures' (sounds like a stock broker comment).

I currently have

TC Caddy
'79 V
Vendetta 4

Future buys

DOA V (hopefully here today)
Black Gold V
Blonde P90 Z
'06 DOA Z

That makes 7 Dean electrics (which according to my wife, is 6 too many).

So I figure I need to get an acoustic.

Which model? I currently have a very old (early 80's) Adamas. It sounds fantastic, but a little but thin. I'd like something more robust and 'woody'.

Which Dean acoustic fits the bill? I've never actually seen a Dean acoustic in person.

Well ive been going back to my roots and seeing how much I can remember and im really surprized how many songs i can play still!!Been playing all kinds of sabbath,ozzy,van halen,kiss,maiden(almost every song on live after death)first 4 metallica albums,judas preiest,gary moore,sod, mod,motorhead,aerosmith,zz top and just about every 80s hairband songs you can imagine.I could proubly make a killing in some coverband can you imagine the amount of music there will be in 50 years or the quallitys of shredders???wonder what kinds of amps will be developed???It all seems kind of exciting to me whats coming the way technoligys r exploding right now!!

It clearly states in the auction it is a USA model when it is not. Its being totally misrepresented and its priced about 3 times what it is worth. Just a heads up if one of our members is the bidder...

I was reading an article with the guitarists from meshuggah. and they said by waxing their pickups, they completely negate feedback. I found out how to do it and will be doing it with my L-500XL. I was just wondering if anybody here can tell me there techniques on how they do it

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy a distortion stomp box and what I'm looking for is a really tight and heavy crunch.
Any sugestions or hints?
I play a Hamer with EMG's 81/85 and a Arbor V with Dimebucker through a Line6 combo.

I know, I know... no Deans... YET!
I'm waiting on Dave from B&T for my ML...

????

i know people have already did this but my little brother wants to see some "fancy" guitars and i couldnt find the other ones
post lots of pics

Does anyone know if dean has ever made a solid body guitar
with P-90 style pickups?
did any stars ever play a custom Gtr w p90's?
if anyone has any pics I would love to see this and maybe snag me one![b][/b]

If you'll be in Gainesville, FL this week, be sure to stop by a controversial museum exhibit of human corpses, preserved and stripped of their skin to reveal muscles, organs and even blood vessels

Sounds like a nice place to take the whole family.

I think everybody with a paper route should have one too!! $59 in the Dean Store! What a gag for $59!!

I'm all for new EVO models, but this one, umm, is different.

when you visit NY!!! Had a great time checkin out Tommy Z (local Blues player) at the Casino, then off for some cold beers, and back to the hotel to play some guitar, sing some songs, and catch up!!!

Would you believe 75 cent Rolling Rock Splits?????

For those of you who haven't met us - me on the left, and RedFlame_Jet_Caddy (Joe) from Japan on the right!



Mrs. Diz came along for the ride too! We took the bikes down. Here she is on her bike with Joe San!! Somehow, the outfit just doesn't work on a bike!!!



As always - a real pleasure to hang with Joe San!! A real class act!!

The LA Kings recently signed a Japanese goalie (first in NHL history). Check out his last name. That's going to cause a few snickers....

Okay, I'm back from Nebraska, while I was looking at guitars I saw the entire '79 seriese and I LOVE the MLF can somebody give me the specs on it I couldn't find any. Thanks in advance. One more thing, do you guys think the rust razor is more of a collecter peice or something to really use as a main axe?

He's got some real nice stuff, the pin-ups are real nice. Just scroll down the page for lots of cool pics. No Deans though
http://www.harleyguitars.com/



Great stuff.

Want to get ready for gigs, got all stage preps and stuff down, but just wondering if any of you guys with curly hair get pissed off when you headbang because of how your hair turns out.

As you can see in my pic, I have long curly hair, and when I headbang it gets huge, and poofy, and really annoying.. I hate it.

I know this is completely random, and this forumn is mostly about guitars and stuff, but a little fashion wont hurt

THE FORUM IS TOO BIG FOR MY SCREEN THE SCREEN BRO. TO SEE THE TITLES OF THE POSTS ON THE LEFT YOU CANT SEE THE NAMES OF THE LAST POSTERS ON THE RIGHT UNLESS YOU SCROLL OVER. IT IS REALLY ANNOYING. IT FIXXES IF I SET MY RESOLUTION REAL HIGH BUT WHO WANTS ICONS THE SIZE OF NATS ON YOUR MONITOR. CAN YOU PUT IT BACK THE OLD WAY BRO ?

<<<<<<<<Hot hot hot here in phx!!!Saw some good bands today!!!I showed around 2pm todayjust in time to catch as i lay dying.those kids rocked,next was killswitch engage not to impressive one guitarist came out in a little black cape and little shorts running around showing his muscles???weird!!!they sounded good ill give em that!!I was totally impressed by Rob zombies band!!they were fricken tight and had jhon 5 playing with them!!That dude played all the songs to a t even the old zombie songs!!The crowd went frickin crazy was jumpin unlike any of the other bands!!So after zombie started making my way to the main stage wich took an hour and finding water was really tough and expensive!!missed "in flames" in tranzit.Finally madse it to the stage bls came out,now i know im gonna catch flak for saying this but I was not impressed!!they came out with like 10 minutes of feedback wich was horrid.granted they did play a few tunes that sounded like the record somewhat.zakks guitar sound is nasty midrangy and not fat at all!!!I expected some soloing but a half hour at a time of zakk showing off is ridiculous!!Playing behind his head and all that and the same riffs over and over.his band i feel sorry for those guys man they looked bored,most of the bls set was the band playing a cord proggression while zakk wanked off on his guitar!!Sorry I love killer guitar soloing but it was ridiculous and non musical.just a wank session!!times like this i really long for watching dime shred!!anyways up next was shawdows fall they were good and i liked the guitarists their solos were inovative and interesting!!Next up was mudvayne that dude had fat crunchy tone for days and the crowd loved them.couldent see his amps but he had clear tone!!I left right before iron maiden cause i was sick from the heat!!Also i was surprized that all the bands had walls of dummy cabs.didnt relize till they were weeling them offstage and i saw the emty backs!!All in all it was a great time with tons of people and heavy metal shopping.again i appoligise for my comments on bls i guess i was expecting a guitar god and got a headache instead!!

some one on this forum must have this issue, i had it, but someone threw it away. towards the back of the book there is a couple stompbox reviews, the one on the right i wanted to try, but i cant remember the name of the effect unit... can someone help me out? the reviewer said it was better than a vintage muff...

I'm enjoying the last few days of it. I start a regular job next week. In a factory. Gotta go to orientation here in few minutes. It's only two blocks from my house, which is weird. It's surrounded by a golf course/country club. It's been there for years. They make gable-topped cartons for the dairy industry, milk and whipped cream cartons, stuff like that. So, with the price of gas I can walk, and that's cool. And, it's Union, so I can retire someday(like I'll last long enuff working there, hehhehe). I'm hoping for the best. But I know me... The shifts they will be changing to, will hopefully allow me to keep playing out a lot. This is gonna be real hard for me, but I gotta take some of the pressure away from my wife. Muh sweet babeeee!

I was just curious, because I never hear him mentioned when
we are talking about great guitarist.

One day in the future, Jesse Jackson has a heart-attack and dies.

He immediately goes to hell, where the devil is waiting for him

"I don't know what to do here," says the devil. "You are on my list, but I have no room for you.

You definitely have to stay here, so I'll tell you what I'm going to do.

I've got a couple of folks here who weren't quite as bad as you. I'll let one of them go, but you have to take their place. I'll even let YOU decide who leaves."

Jesse thought that sounded pretty good, so the devil opened the door to the first room. In it, was Ted Kennedy and a large pool of water. He kept diving in, and surfacing, empty handed. Over, and over, and over he dove in and surfaced with nothing. Such was his fate in hell.

"No," Jesse said. "I don't think so. I'm not a good swimmer, and I don't think I could do that all day long."

The devil led him to the door of the next room. In it was Al Gore with a sledgehammer and a room full of rocks. All he did was swing that hammer, time after time after time.

"No, I've got this problem with my shoulder. I would be in constant agony if all I could do was break rocks all day," commented Jesse.

The devil opened a third door. Through it, Jesse saw Bill Clinton, lying on the floor with his arms tied over his head, and his legs restrained in a spread-eagle pose. Bent over him was Monica Lewinsky, doing what she does best.

Jesse looked at this in shocked disbelief, and finally said, "Yeah, I can handle this."

The devil smiled and said . . . . . . . . .


(This is priceless)



"OK, Monica, you're free to go."

I've seen all kinds of nifty-looking guitar rack things, but where do I get THE rack?

Are they all one specific size? When I look at the furman PQ's, it looks alot smaller than the other rack things i've ever seen.

So what I need to know is -

1- Where can I get the rack?
2- Are they all the same size?

Well, all my new gear (guitar,amp) is ordered, paid for, and on the way.

Now I just need to hope the shipping Gods are smiling on my orders and all gear arrives in working minty fresh order.

Guitar - Dean US HardTail Pro Series

Amp - Randall RG100SCG2

As soon as they arrive, expect clips/pics galore.

Bad news. Finally last week we started working only 4 days a week. I got off Thursday and on my way home, I was so excited to get back to my home. I was anticipating what I would do. One thing that really excited me was that I could get to my computer and say hello to all my friends here! When I unlocked my door, almost everything was gone! My wonderful Sony computer, Strat, Sony surround sound system, studio monitors and all my studio stuff, my power tools, and various other valuables. I couldn't believe it! At first I just sat there, starring at the mess they left. Then I called my Sister to come over and of corse the Police. I'm still in shock! I feel so violated. Well I got a nice HP Laptop and now I can chat with you all again. I've missed you all. I'll tell you about the good news later.

I was discouraged from buying a FBD or razorback becuase of the Floyd rose. The guitar salesman said I would hate it becuase I am new at playing.

finally got my case last night

it's the nicest case i've ever seen.

it's sweet

i though 100 bucks for a case was a rip off

but now i see that i got the higher end of the deal

too funny. I'm glad to see other people with too much time on their hands as well.

well i found this, i find it actually passes the time better then the kitty cannon .

It will come in handy monday

http://www.lostvectors.com/bowmaster/

i got to level 26

I have seen it mentioned in other threads that a Razor was made for Kerry King. Is this true? Anyone know what it is supposed to look like. Has Dean put out anything about it or is it just speculation? Anyone know? What about the EVH Razor? Any word on that? I have seen people ask about it but there never seems to be an answer.

hey i'm planning on learning guitar, and i'm tossing up between buying an amp or the line 6 guitarport. apparently the guitarport can double as a music recorder and an amp (and allows you to add drumming and effects to your riffs) so i was wondering if this little device is any good or not. i think it would be good for me to record my early playing and then compare it as i get better to see how far i've come. also travelling to someone's house won't be a problem because all u need is some speakers, the guitarport and a guitar.
if you guys have any experience with it, i'd like to know whether its better than an amp or not.

memorial signatures book, and when is it being released?

We can't let this place go!

http://savecbgb.org/

where do u guys get 'em??

http://www.venomslegions.com/news/2005/05-news.htm

5 hours of music including tracks never before included on a cd






and hopefully the new Venom cd (featuring fellow Dean Forumite MYKVS on guitar) comes out soon after.

Thought you guys would be all over this in the previous Jeff Beck thread, but you may have just missed it so here it is again.

I actually taped the better part of the entire Crossroads broadcast on the radio. This is the one and only tune Beck did and it is not on the Crossroads dvd.

What do you guys think, not a Dean but I want to chop it up and paint it etc. Still not sure what guitar I'll get though.

I need to do my last swap of gear before the wifey and I have kids. I currently have a Crate GX-140D 2x12 that I've been using for the past 6 years. I bought it to play small clubs. I can only turn it up to 1 or 1 1/2 when I do play because the room is too small. So I'd like to switch down to a lower wattage amp. I also want to consolidate everything down to a smaller size as well.

I'm thinking of going all Line 6. Get a 1x12 Spider with the full pedalboard and either a Pod Pro rack mount board or Pod II for effects. That should give me all the sounds and control that I will ever need for tooling around and all the amp modeling to get good tones.

I've only owned Crate amps. So this will be a big switch for me. I'd like to hear some feedback from people that use either the amp or the Pod effects. What are the pro's and con's of this setup.

Their new release Robot Hive/Exodus is pretty good. Not as good as Blast Tyrant, but still a solid release. This isn't even my favorite tune on the record

well l just got back from my friends place, he got a new guitar that has a licensed floyd and i thought id share my first experience.

well my friend got the guitar and tuned it down to C and immediately had trouble tuning it up, as this was his first time he got pretty pissed off and just didnt worry about it. So the next day my friend and I went over to try it out. after figuring out how floyds work i started playing with it and i was determined to tune it up to E flat and have it flush to the body and be able to get those insane harmonic squeals. approx. one 1 hour later i had done it so after that i stuck my thumb over the top 3 strings and pinky over the bottom 2 and hovered right over that 5th harmonic on the G string. the suspense was building. i pushed the bar down quickly and pulled right back. wow. i defiately got my pull after hearing that blissful squeal.

so that was my first experience, it was well worth the wait of tuning it and i sure wouldnt mind a guitar with a floyd, maybe an FBD if i could afford it

sorry about that post i was bored and really tired and it shocked me. so i thought id say somehting here where you guys know what your talking about
sorry

ugh
a dean fan in need!

Hello all...

After acquiring my TCV, I immediately realized Dean created something very special. I sold my Jackson soloist, my Boris Dommenget, and a few others and have focused on customizing and buying more Deans. A recent attack of G.A.S. prompted wifey (Yes, my wife) to purchase me a new '79 MLF for my birthday. This will be my first Korean guitar (ever!) and have heard some real horror stories. (Korean quality control issues...) So much in fact my local dealer said "If I order it, it's yours..." in other words, it's a disclaimer. (Scary)

So...

Can anyone fill me in on the USA Professional Series? I would love a plain high-end Dean, the customization options would be endless!!!!!!! I know they retail for $1,999.00, but that's all. I have not seen one, found a single review, know anyone who plays one or has one for sale. How to wrap my hands around one? Anybody got one? Before DOA gets here and my wallet explodes!

One of my favorite guitarist Ty Tabor has used the amp. Hes used this amp on various King's X, solo and side projects. My question is does anyone have one for sale? Or knows anyone for sale?

OK. THE BOSS HAS OK'D ME TO DROP THE CHANGE ON A NEW AMP.
IVE NARROWED IT DOWN TO THREE

BOGNER UBERSCHALL



ANY COMMENTS ?

Ok, i picked up a Boss DD-20 delay pedal. Thing kicks ass.
Here's what i need to know...

1) Place it in the front of the amp or the effects loop? What's the difference in either case?


2) When used with an OD pedal in the front of the amp, which goes first? It doesn't seem practical to overdrive a digital device, so doesnt the od go after the delay?

3) if the od goes after the delay, then how can you noise suppress the OD without suppressing the delay and killing delay feedback?

4) I guess the ideal solution is to have OD in front, and delay in back. But can any of the other questions be answered first before resorting to this?

OK, I think many of the older memebers remember my band, well after a long and painfull year of far too little practise and cancelling most gigs we decided to call it a day.....

I am not shure what to think yet but I am missing my saturday afternoons already, one one hand I am relieved on the other I feel bad...

I am positive about starting something new, with better musicians and finally get to record something, the only track "we" ever recorded will be on the DOA CD, but it is actually a demo I just recorded all by myself.

I know Blabbermouth isn't the most reliable news source on the net, but did anyone read the stories they have on there about Maiden's last show?
Apparently they were egged, had various other things thrown at them, some jackass painted up like a U.S. flag ran out on stage, someone spit on Bruce, their power got cut something like 5 times, and as they were taking their bows, and thanking the crowd, some tool back stage with a mic starts up an 'Ozzy! Ozzy!' chant, that apparently got flipped right into a Maiden chant by the crowd.
Then the queen of class herself, Sharon comes out to say that she loves Maiden but Bruce is a prick...
That is some serious #$%&#@.

I dont know if any of you have already got it but this is a really cool program where you can zoom in on any part of the world. Unfortunately you cant see people very well...women...chihuahua! But oh well, there's other things to look at.

I am looking for clamping blocks for a JT580 licensed Floyd Tremolo. For some reason I can not get the Jackson Forum to display.... Otherwise I would just post a request there.

Can anyone help me out? I don't want to have to buy an entire trem just because of a lost clamping block.

Standard Floyd Rose blocks do not fit properly.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi.
Anyone know much about them, and do they have a website? I've searched but can't locate one (website that is).

My local music shop has lovely example of a (i think) a KY1 something or other model. Nice looking guitar. I'll try it out later this week.

Any help appreciated as always.

Cheers,
Ally.

How were the earliest Dean's sold? Direct from Dean Z? Or did he immediatley have a dealer network?

I believe that 1980 is when they showed up in my city (at Rocky Roller Music).

Anyone know?

It has just been confirmed to me that the Razorbacks will not be released until late December - early January.. They were not happy with the proto-types and are going to fix some things..

No Razorbacks for a few more months *goes on a riot*

Hey guys,

Me and my girlfriend are leaving for a trip to the USA in about a week and a half and we need some pointers to info on concerts and sports events. I can't really find a single website that shows a day by day of what band is playing where (we'll be in California mostly, with a week long trip through Nevada and Arizona). The same goes for sports events, we'd like to see some american football if at all possible.

Any of you guys got a few good links for me?

Thanks!

Corporate Lesson 1

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is
finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings.
The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs
downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands
Bob, the next door neighbor. Before she says a
word, Bob says, "I'll give you $800 to drop that
towel." After thinking for a moment, the woman
drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob.
After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 dollars
and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the
towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to
the bathroom, her husband asks, "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says,"Did he say anything
about the $800 he owes me?"

Moral of the story: If you share critical
information pertaining to credit and risk with your
shareholders in time, you may be in a position to
prevent avoidable exposure.


Corporate Lesson 2

A priest offered a lift to a Nun. She got in and
crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg.
The priest nearly had an accident. After controlling
the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg. The
nun said, Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest
removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his
hand slide up her leg again. The nun once again
said, Father, remember Psalm 129?" The priest
apologized "Sorry sister but the flesh is weak."
Arriving at the convent, the nun went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to
look up Psalm 129. It said, "Go forth and seek,
further up, you will find glory."

Moral of the story: If you are not well informed
in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.


Corporate Lesson 3

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the
manager are walking to lunch when they find an
antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.
The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish."
"Me first! Me first!" says the admin. clerk. "I want
to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without
a care in the world." Poof! She's gone. "Me next!
Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in
Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal
masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the
love of my life." Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up,"
the Genie says to the manager. The manager says,
"I want those two back in the office after lunch."

Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the
first say.


Corporate Lesson 4

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day. A
rabbit asked him, Can I also sit like you and do nothing
all day long?" The crow answered: Sure, why not." So,
the rabbit sat on the ground below the crow, and
rested. A fox jumped on the rabbit and ate it.

Moral of the story: To be sitting and doing nothing,
you must be sitting very high up.


Corporate Lesson 5

A turkey was chatting with a bull. "I would love
to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed
the turkey, but I haven't got the energy." "Well,
why don't you nibble on my droppings?" replied the
bull. "They're packed with nutrients." The turkey
pecked at a lump of dung and found that it gave him
enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the
tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he
reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth
night, there he was proudly perched at the top of
the tree. Soon he was spotted by a farmer, who shot
the turkey out of the tree.

Moral of the story: #$%&#@ might get you to
the top, but it won't keep you there.

Here is my new baby... im so glad I sent the one with the finish flaw back. I hit the jackpot with this one.

Props to Funky Munky Music... not only did they do the exchange with no hassles, the upgraded my case for free without telling me, thru in 2 tshirts for free, and thru in a real nice Dean HardTail keychain for free.

Amp arrives tomorrow... can not WAIT to plug this in!

Warning... big pics...

Here's shots of a couple of recent projects. The first is my Agile 2500 Swamp Ash Les Paul. I was only going to put new pickups in it, but got carried away I ended up scraping the neck clean and shaving it down - round at the nut to a flat at the neck joint - thin and comfy. Rubbed a few coats of lemon oil/vanish solution into it and it's slick as hot poonyaki. I did a complete fret job on it - level, crown and dress. I added locking tuners and did my tone pros mod to the bridge and tail piece. Last but not least I installed DiMarzio Zebras - Evolution in the bridge and Humbucker from Hell in the neck. I figured since this is a swamp ash body with a maple neck it should have some Straty qualities . . . and I was right. The action is a mere 1.5mm low E @ 17 and 1.1mm high E @ 17 with no buzz anywhere on the neck. I think I'll keep this one for a while.





Next up is a 1954 Gretch Savoy X150 that a friend of mine owns. I added another P-90, 3-way switch and all new electronics. Next I fixed a nasty bridge problem (tailpiece not original), dressed the frets gave it a good setup and last, but least added the pinup decal. Tell you what - this thing is FAT sounding!!! I wish I owned it. It's gold because when he bought it someone had painted it flat black with a brush!!!!




Tomorrow I get to work on a 1953 Gibby

OK BEEN LISTNING TO THIS CD FOR 2 DAYS NOW AND ITS REALLY GOOD STUFF!!WOULD NEVER HAVE GUESSED HE COULD SHRED LIKE THAT!!!ESPESSIALLY THE CHIICKEN PICKING!HOWS HE GO FROM MANSON TO CRAZY DOWN HOME HICK COUNTRY??TO STEVE VAI TYPE STUFF!!I HAD TO CHECK THE CD CAUSE HIS LOOKS DONT MATCH UP WITH HIS SONGS!!IF YOU HAVENT HEARD VERTIGO YOU REALLY SHOULD I LOVE IT ITS INSPIRATIONAL!!

Okay guys, I know this has been asked before and I should know by now so don't flame me. What type of Randalls did Dime play?

Got a 2nd hand FBD from ebay and it needs some work.

What are its common factory settings so I can tell the luther.

Thanks.

when i asked him to install a locking nut on my jackson V with a floating kahler, he declined and opted for locking tuners. Is it really that big of an operation to change the nut?


I cant even imagine what hed say if i asked him to route a floyd and do a locking nut

i have seen pictures of dave and Ian, and a few others but i was just wondering what all you others look like, so i can sort of put a name to a face.


here is a picture i had to take for school, you can tell i am real happy.

Also post photoshop moded guitars, or whatever.

hey guys.

i have a Fender strat that pretty old and beat up, which is cool.

question , CAN i get it customized with a Floyd Rose system on it. it seem like some wood will have to be cut to do it. can it be done or do i need to buy a custoim strat?

*EDIT* hmmm is f e n d e r a dirty word or something?

I was searching around on ebay and found someone was selling one of those lifesize standups of Dimebag you get from the Dean shop for a buy it now price of $149. I emailed the buddy telling him I know what his scam is and I think is is another one that is trying to make a buck off Dimes death. Heres what he wrote to me in response.

"gar YOU CUUNT! i'll do what i want when i want, and don't need some whiny little bitch telling me what to do. it's an over-protective fag like you that got him killed in the first place! if you write me again I will turn you over to ebay. DIE motherf@#$%"

Seems to me he got pissed because someone saw that hes trying to make a buck off of him and then has the nerve to say this to me. What a loser.

why is there no posts and why is it locked

Ok....I can see why we have it to censor curse words and the like but WTF is up with it censoring ANY other guitar brand besides Dean??? I think it makes us look a bit egotistical like we think Deans are the ONLY guitars worth anything and all others are crap.... Deans are friggin awesome, dun get me wrong, but other guitars are good too and the I think that censoring them just makes us look bad to other people.... Just my 2-cents....anyone else concur with me or am I alone on this one?????

I just listened to dragonforce on their website. Personally, I think their music is so bad its pathetic but they are the most incredible group of musicians I've ever heard.

Thought I'd share some killer art by Alessandro Baldasseroni

How many of you guys have this album?
The song Abduction wrecks me every time!

Bruces solo stuff was pretty mediocre as far as the guitar went on his first few albums, but this guy (Roy Z) is amazing

check out new Guitar One magazine, Its has a picture of Randy Rhoads playing a black Dean Flying V!!

i was pawnshopping earlier today and came across a beautiful used peavey 5150. I have always wanted one, and am in the market for a tube amp. Great thing is its at a price that I think is reasonable. What do you guys think of $695 CAD (around $580 USD)? I know a few of you in here are cheap guys and have experience in dealing with prices, so If I were to walk in with cash, how low do you think they'd go?

edit:

continuing on my pawnshop tour around Calgary, I have found a shop with a fender blues deluxe. any opinions? I'm gonna go try it soon

wow, i was just on the pantera forum, and there is a big diff between it and this one. i thought there were alot of guys that had a high numb. of posts, but on there theres people that joined in like feb. of this yr w/ 4 and 5 thousand posts.
o ya, that pictures section has alot of porn, and no filtering!!

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to tell you guys about a new job I have assumed. As well as my day job, I am now helping run Charlie Wayne Productions. Who's Charlie Wayne you might ask? Well Charlie is a Dean endorser and teams with Ron Keel as part of Keel & Wayne. Charlie was the front man for 80's band Hawk which also featured Doug Marks of Metal Method guitars lessons fame, was one time front man for the Bulletboys and played in various bands on the Sunset Strip during the 80's with members of Guns N Roses,Poison,Keel and King Kobra. While living in Nashville he has fronted his own bands, first The Charlie Wayne Band and then The Ticks. Currently Charlie and Ron are getting ready to hit the road on another leg of the Acoustic Outcasts Tour that also features Don Dokken,Kelly Keeling(Baton Rouge,MSG,George Lynch,King Kobra),Terry Ilous(XYZ) and JK Northrup(XYZ,King Kobra) in mid September. If they come to your town check it out as it is a great show. Charlie is getting ready to release a new complilation album featuring tracks from his old albums called "The Best of Charlie Wayne-The Metal Years 1985-2005". It features 18 tracks including 3 live tracks. We are doing a pre-sale of this album for $15 plus $3 shipping and handling. This album is really good! I spent a lot of time with Charlie helping pick the tracks and is very worth wild album to listen to. Charlie will be autographing all the pre-sales cds. Below is a link to PayPal if you would like to purchase one. We will be taking pre-sale orders through September 3rd and will have the cds ready to ship by September 15th. Charlie is also planning on coming to DOA this year if he is not on the road. I hope my fellow DOA brothers will check this album out!

its been a while since i been around a computer and i finally got time to write. i got my fbd in mid july. got home from work, walk in the house and saw a big as dean box in front of my door. i almost dumped my pants. i put it throught a rigourous test, and having not payed for it,, i can say (without byass) this is the best guitar i've ever played.

(now for the sweet part)

they sent the guitar and the case seperatly so the case arrived three weeks after the guitar. i didn't mind one bit. then, once again, i get home from work and theres another bigass dean box sittin there. i think "cool, my case is here." so i go and take a shower, get relaxed and all that. then i open the box and pull out the case. i think "well this sure is heafty for JUST a case". then i get this chill up my spine. i think "no way, they couldn't have. they didn't..." i set it down and open it very slowly with my eyes closed. its open all the way and i open my eyes and then...i schit my pants. i mean there is literally schit everywhere, its down my legs, all overe the floor, i mean, im literally sitting in my own feces, but i can't move because im paralized at the sight of the beautiful, unscathed fbd. thats right. im now the proud owner of two Far Beyond Driven tribute ml guitars. and at no cost to me. i however beleive it is a mistake and i even emailed web guy pete explaining my fortunate situation. that was july 20th. i've not yet had a response. i'm giving him one more month to reply before i do with it as i please. if i don't hear from him, i will either sell it, trade it, or keep it and use it for different tunings.

this whole contest has changed my life. as arogant as it my sound, i like to believe that i had some help from a higher being (cough dimebag cough cough) excuse me...dry throat . it has help me decide my future and next week i will begin working toward a degree in music at uaf. for the longest time music was the only thing that mattered to me and this contest solidified it.

thats it for now. i'll post a few pictures soon so you can see how lucky i am. peace.


i would like to make it claer that i did not schit my pant. i only threw that in there to spice things up. hell, i haven't even schit my pants since i was 8. ...ok 9 and a half. happy?

I'm starting to dig the yellow one...

I got a new Dean catalog yesterday in the mail. Wow! Much more information then the webpage here. More photos, finish examples, wood photos,etc. Very nice.

Back in the day, getting the new Dean catalog was something I looked forward to each year. With the advent of websites, I thought the days of nice catalogs were long gone.

Mark

I noticed in the latest Dean catalog that all Time Capsule V, Z or ML (except for the exotics) were all flame maple. After looking at the inventory page here I noticed the same thing.

Can you get a quilt maple TC with a trans finish????

I won a wireless on Ebay for less than 30.00 so I thought what the hell. It is a VHF audio technicia Brand X. I have to say that I was really impressed after all the scuttle I heard here. Now as a disclaimer my studio is in a rural setting so the is no interference so far. The trucks going by haven''t given me any problems with CB yet either. The is a high/low setting that I have been running on low so that may explain it in part. I mainly wanted it so when I need to make an adjustment on the board I don't have to put the guitar down and for that it works well. My Bud is going to be giging out in town this weekend and he is going to give it a test for "urban interference" . If we ever go out again I will probably buy UHF, one of our dealers offered to hook me up at a good price. But for now this is working better than I expected. I guess its one of those things you just have to try for yourself because it will vary so much from area to area.

I came across this on Slayer's site, maybe someone heres after new shoes?

I just got back from Beautiful Days festival near Exeter in England, where everyone takes their guitars, fiddles, drums (acoustic bngo types) and so on and so forth.

It was amazing! I looked a mess but my hair will grow soon, I hope...

I have had emails from the shop that are selling me my Dan. They do not have a photo of it and also could not find one of that model! So when I have finished paying for it, there WILL be a name that model thread from me...

I hope you have all had a good week, bet it was no way as amazing as mine though!

And come on - some of you, get msn messenger or yahoo im! I want to talk!

Every time someone posts y'all ask for pictures so ...

Here's the story. I picked up this Boca a few months back brand new for a bit of change under $200. I was looking for a HB so I figured the price was right and I really like the rest of my Deans so why not. It's a really nice playing, comfortable instrument definitely easily worth the original street price but a real steal at under 200 bucks. Anyway, I always thought this guit needed chrome covered buckers and it would look much classier. I wanted to change the pups on the Boca so I figured before I decided on new PUPs I would cover the stocks to check out the look. I haven't spent alot of time playing the boca since covering the pickups but in this case, it actually sounds better. More of a vintage tone with the stock pups covered than open. I still need to decide what pups I want to put on this guitar but I'm definitely leaning toward a vintage sound.

I hope the picture shows and you can see well enough with the flash off of the chrome covers. I think that most familiar with the Boca will agree that the covered pups improve the look of this cool little semi-hollow body.

Ron Keel and I also are getting ready to release the acoustic outcast dvd check it out ! Dean guitar's are the best and we don't leave home with out them ! iIwanted to say thanks to metalhead for helping me out with my new ( best of cd compilation ) he is the man and a great friend !!!!! keelandwayne.com acousticoutcast.com also go to dokken central for details on the tour !

Tiki Tiki ?

Ok, well i went to guitar center to pick up some high quality shielded cables yesterday. The one's i had were old, and were recieving hum from the amp in the effects loop. I ended up getting 4 18' Mogami cables. The guy at GC said they cost less than Monster Cables, and don't change the frequencies like MC's do. They cost about 40 bucks each, so yea, 160 bucks for 4 cables.

On the ride home i felt ripped off, but then I hooked my pedal board and amp up with them, i couldn't beleive how much better everything sounded. I usually use my 5150 at post gain 4 1/2. Now i keep it at 3, because the definition i guess of the higher frequencies aren't lost anymore, and the hum in the effects loop is gone. I just had to tell someone, hehe.

Hi all....

Well, today I was having a colleque (spelling?? "someone I work with") riding with me to work, and he pulled out a CD that he said I should hear... OK, I said, and he put it in the player... Well, to my VERY big surprise, I was listening to Disturbed's new album, called Ten Thousand Fists, and it is scheduled to hit the streets around 20th of September... Well, as much as I tried, I couldn't get him to tell where he had it from, so I decided to just listen... Since it's a little more than a 1 hour drive, I got to hear the entire album, and my honest oppinion is :
It's the best Disturbed album yet!!!!
Well, it has the agressiveness of Sickness, yet the more "trained" Draiman-vocals from Believe are there too... Oh, and Donegan is playing solos this time.... He can actually shred...
It's bound to be the album of the year in my book, I think...
I, for one, will be standing in line when the shops open on September 20th...

...just wanted to share...

Well, I had jsut boxed up and shipped back a new defective Randall RG100SCG2 so I thought I would take a look around the local shops after work tonight... and stumbled upon a great condition used Randall RG75!

Played it... remembered why I wanted to try the Randalls in the first place... real nice SS amp.

I talked them down to $160 out the door!!!

This should hold me over while I save for high end gear. God knows the price was right.

Clips to come this weekend.

ILL GIVE YOU THE ROCK REPORT WHEN IT GETS HERE.

Get your creative juices flowing. This is something I came up with a few weeks ago... it's been modded a couple times and I finally drew it on paper today.

Hahahahaha

I asked this before and never got a real answer, then one just like this popped up on Ebay, and I got even more confused. Someone said this was a Standard, but reading into other threads, I want to think it's a Select. It has the wrong neck joint from what I can tell (I'm still new at ID'ing Deans), a pretty flat neck (I'm not sure what that qualifies as as far as shape), and it's MIK. Please help me Dean masters!!!! I must know!!!

For some unknown reason I am not able to download any attachments from Yahoo mail anymore. When I click the "Download Attachment" button, nothing happens and I have "Done" at the bottom of the page. I have tried disabling the pop up stopper and still no luck.

Anyone else having problems with this?

Any hints on how to fix it?

Thanks in advance.




I know, I know..... Get to tha choppa!....

I thought someone might be interested. I know they're tropical but I like 'em, they play great and they're dirt cheap!

Ok, hello

Last or this year (i dont remember ) i made music video, for school project, (but not only) and i want to share it, get some opinions and stuff

Music is Carl Orff's "Carmina Burana" (classical music), i think you know it, its pretty well - known


This was supposed to be based on a Trytaios poetry, a Spartan poet, who wrot war-connected poems.
And this video shows this in some different light, and perspective

It was recorded by a simple analog camera, so no fireworks here

Technical stuff : Its not so big for a video, 20 MB file, in a rmvb format, or smth like that. Lasts for about 6 minutes. Quality is quite good...

You can download player here : 1,4 MB - Real Media Alternative
here you go : http://www.free-codecs.com/download/Real_Alternative.htm

I think i said it all. Ask, if you want

The first, opening quote says:

"Young men, fight shield to shield and never
succumb
to panic or miserable flight,
but steel the heart in your chests with
magnificence
and courage.

The ending one:

" Forget your own life
when you grapple with the enemy. Never run
and let an old soldier collapse
whose legs have lost their power. "

Ok, here's the video link:

Enjoy, and im waiting for comments!


Got some more, shorter stuff, if you want

I just got the CD "Situation Dangerous". It is a great recording of three of the best players out there... Terry Bozzio on drums, Tony Levin on bass and Steve Stevens on guitar. These guys are phenomenal and definitely worth checking out if you like rock influenced instrumental Jazz recordings.

I just thought that this was interesting as there was a television show on the other night about this sort of thing. An undercover cop who couldn't sing at all went into one of these places and of course, as long as the money was there, they said she was great and would be the next big thing...........until the money was gone....

Don't people understand that if you're good, they will pay, not you.

Just curious, I don't plan on buying one, as I don't care for the shape. But this ebay ad kinda shows one (upper left corner) - it could be a cut out like the one people are paynig $30 more for than they could here at the Dean Shop.

USA Trans-Black TC ML custom? Ideally I want a Trans-Black ML with block inlays and chrome hardware. I know this may be a long shot, but I figured it would be worth asking

Might take a swing at it...

It's been around for a long time, but we recently moved to a better server or something like that. Anyways, if you're a fan of music, video games, sports, and mainly horror movies, then you should check it out. I don't want to spam, so the link is in my signature.

Ok so i was browsing eBay and i came across a flying V bass by Dean! I have been looking at Epiphone V basses for awhile but i cam across this Dean which was cheaper and looked like it played well and (hopefully) sounded good.

Anyways, I was wondering why Dean no longer makes them and if anyone knows where i can find one?

thanks in advance!

Darwin Awards



Darwin Award Winners:

1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim
during a hold-up in Long Beach, California, would-be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked..... And now, the honorable mentions:

2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence, sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.

3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his Vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.

4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies.
The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.

5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.

6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the
clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer...$15. (If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?)

7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd ju st throw a cinder block through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinder block and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinder block bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.

8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."

9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 5 a.m., flashed a gun,demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.

10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into th e motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges, saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.
