heres my story. i went to a mates place to have a few drinks, then we would catch a taxi to the beach where the fireworks were. everything was going pretty good, until it came to the taxi ride. one of my friends had had an entire bottle of black label vodka, and a few 100 meters until we got to the beach, he vomitted in the taxi...we got fined $70 and the taxi ride costed $30...that has to be the most expensive taxi ride i've ever caught. to top it off we got let off right in front of cops and we were all tryng to walk straight and speak without sounding like we were drunk.

the fireworks were pretty sh!t, and we couldnt catch a bus or taxi cos they were busy most of the night. so in the end we walked about 10kms, carrying our friend all the way.

not a great way to enter the new year....

Who's everyone's favorite guitar duos.

For me, it's gotta be
Max and Andres from Sepultura
and sadly James and Kirk from Metallica

and just because of the stuff that they did as far as layers and stuff, the 2 dudes from Napalm Death.


And while we're on it and saving it from being another thread....who's your favorite singer/guitarist. They have to do both to count

Max Cavalera Sep/Soulfly and Rob Flynn from Machine Head do it for me

Oahkay, one word each, I'll start.

I didn't know where else to put this so I hope this is o.k. I am looking for a new amp, I am using a small 10 watt Marshall and it just isn't going to cut it. I have been looking at the Behringer GMX 212 or the Line 6 Spider 212. Does anyone have any recommendations other than these two. I do have a budget of about $300, so used is o.k. Thanks for the help.

Hope you all had a good one!

I've been buried under a mountain of Transformers and MegaMan toys.

Man, I actually found a band that I like that doesn't play guitar solos. They are called Non Point, You have probably heard of them. Heres a link to their myspace. You might not like them but I enjoy them.

http://www.myspace.com/nonpoint

Their guitar player does some pretty sweet stuff if you listen to the background.

I like to play blues, and I was test driving a fender blues junior amp at a shop the other day. I was playing my 78' standard V through it and this guy walks in and says "man, I never heard such deep blues tones out of a V. I didn't think you could get a V to sound like that." I just smiled and said thanks. Can't beat a vintage tone. Just thought I'd share. Happy new year.

INNOVATIONS: PREMIUM GUITARS

Guitar start-up composes new look
Futuristic design takes on Fender and Gibson's dominance

By David Colker
Tribune Newspapers: Los Angeles Times
Published January 2, 2006


For decades, nearly all of rock's famed guitarists play models made by Fender Musical Instruments Corp. or Gibson Musical Instruments, making those guitars the dominant choices for players who can afford $1,000 and up for a premium ax.

Challengers regularly try, but usually fail to break in the guitar world's top tier. But that doesn't stop them from trying.

"Every year there are a bunch of guys who try," said Ken Daniels, owner of Truetone Music in Santa Monica, which specializes in high-end guitars. "And every year most of them drop like flies."

The latest contender is California-based RKS Guitars, which is optimistic after landing one of its futuristic lime-green guitars on the cover of BusinessWeek's annual design issue this summer.

RKS founder Ravi K. Sawhney said he wasn't thinking about the long odds when he decided to get into the guitar business--he was simply excited about the chance to break the mold.

A prominent product designer, Sawhney's RKS Design in Thousand Oaks, Calif., has created the look of photo printers for Hewlett-Packard Co., cell phones for Nokia and vacuum cleaners for Sears.

About five years ago, one of his designers started working up a new pattern for an electric guitar. Sawhney was taking guitar lessons at the time and decided to approve the project.

"I can't say we sat down and studied and analyzed the failures of the past," said Sawhney, 49.

Rocker Dave Mason, whom Sawhney met through mutual acquaintances, came on board early to help with the design and tone. More recently, software entrepreneur Dale Jensen, the majority owner of the Arizona Diamondbacks and a rock 'n' roll enthusiast, provided additional funding.

Last year, the company opened a factory in North Carolina and shipped 300 guitars, Sawhney said. But he was making continuing changes in the design and wanted the plant closer to his design studio. In June, RKS opened its factory in Oxnard, Calif., getting a boost soon thereafter from the BusinessWeek cover.

The guitar was the second-place winner in the Disruptive Design category, with the judges pointing to the instrument's unusual "open architecture" look, in which the electric pickups appear to float in the middle of a high-tech body.

Despite the acclaim, however, the company is in its infancy. Its 15-worker factory turns out just eight guitars a day, and RKS has sold only 27 instruments made in Oxnard to music stores. The instruments retail for $2,200 and up.

In addition to the innovative design, Sawhney thinks that his fledgling company has several factors in his favor.

One is a surge in sales of electric guitars. Although most of the growth has been in cheaper imports from China selling for less than $150, the premium market is also booming. Sales of models retailing for $1,000 and up rose 27.5 percent last year, according to Music Trades magazine.

That's partly from Baby Boomers who now have the means to buy instruments they have wanted since high school. Many of these players already have Fenders and Gibsons, giving RKS--at least in theory--a shot at customers looking for something new and different.

"A golfer might have one set of clubs; a person into fishing might have a couple different rods," said Paul Majeski, publisher of Music Trades. "But you never find a serious guitar player with just one or two guitars. They have a trading card mentality."

"RKS already has something going," he added. "They are already ahead of where most companies are at this point. The odds are not insurmountable."

But they are daunting.

Fender has $380 million in annual sales of guitars, amplifiers and related equipment and Gibson has $210 million, Music Trades estimates. From there, it's a wide chasm to the next company that specializes in electric guitars: Paul Reed Smith, or PRS, Guitars, with $28.1 million.

Fender, with its famed Stratocaster and Telecaster guitars, and Gibson, best known for its Les Paul line, have largely defined the electric guitar sound in rock and pop.

At studio recording sessions, professional guitarists typically show up with at least one Fender and one Gibson, Grammy-winning record producer Jimmy Jam noted.

"I know in my mind what a Tele and a Strat and Les Paul sound like," said Jam, who has worked with pop stars including Usher, Mariah Carey and Gwen Stefani. "There is a comfort level for me, personally, when someone pulls the guitar I'm thinking of out of a case."

Paul Ash, president of the Sam Ash Music Corp. retail chain, believes RKS may have a shot if it can get rising stars to play its products.

"You have to make it a point to visit clubs," said Ash, whose father founded the company. "Show the guitar to musicians, let them handle them, try them for a few days."

Sawhney said it had cost about $7 million to get RKS to this point. Sawhney put up $3.5 million of his own money, he said, with Jensen and a partner kicking in $2 million and $200,000 from Mason.

The venture isn't a do-or-die proposition for any of the partners. Sawhney's primary business remains RKS Design, while Mason still plays about 150 concerts a year.

Jensen who has a minority stake in the NBA's Phoenix Suns and sits on the board of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, said he joined RKS Guitars because it was "fun to be a part of it."

I never had a pedal boad. I just use whatever my amp can give me.
In 2005 I bought a Digitech RPx400 just for fun and mainly for the USB recording capabilities.

Yesterday I bought from a friend who was selling his guitar gear a bunch of pedals and a small Squier 15w amp.

I paid less than $120 (USD) for it all:
Boss MT2 Metal Zone
Behringer Noise Reduce
Behringer Compression Sustainer
Behringer Graphic Equalizer
Fender PT-100 stompbox tuner
Boss power adapter
Daisy cable
Squier 15w amp w/ 8" and 8ohm fender speaker (dated 1991)

Now these are for sure some newb questions, but:
Can someone help me out how (in what order) should I rig all of this togeter including Digitech RPx400?
What exactly is a FX-loop?

I am using a behringer v amp into my pc. I want to get a mixer and start using a mic for all my guitars. What are you guys using? Any advice?

That's right a buddy and I were at GC today and I saw these Martin acoustics for $500 - and they have laminate necks and Formica back, sides and in some cases tops!!!!! and the sales kid says with a straight face . . . "But it's a Martin"

Hey I'm going to "gold top" a doggy loaf and when they tell me it's sh!t I can say - "But it's a Gibson"

anyone on this forum play {unreal tournament 2004} other than me?

Guys, check out the band Quo Vadis. They are a local band from around my area (Montreal, Quebec) , but they are really really good. You can tell since you can find their albums in any HMV around here.

I just picked up their DVD for cheap ($20 Canadian) and its amazing for the cost. You get 3 disks, one of them is completely drum footage though (you'll see why once you hear a couple of their songs)

Check them out, you wont regret it..

I recommend you check out:

Silence calls the storm, Legions of the betrayed, Point of no return: Mute Requiem, Dead man's diary..

Those are a few of their best songs (IMO) to get you started.

I was wandering, is it bad to hang your guitar from a wall? From the neck? You know, like they are at pretty much any music store.
Because I've heard it is bad to pickup your guitar from the neck. So wouldnt it be bad to have it hang from the neck?
I have 4 hanging right now, and 1 of them has a crack near the neck joint. I dont know if its from hanging, me being rough, or just crappy guitar.
I want to know, so I can prolong the life of my beloved FBD. And my future Ibanez RG1570.

Thanks guys.

god i think im getting divorced my wife spun out somewhere.....

Hi guys, i've been offline for too long

I tell you that i can't buy the dean i dreamed with, but i hope noone gets mad or angry with me, I'M going to buy an Ibanez....

Im 14 years old, and my mom doesnt want to buy through the net, she doesnt trust in it, and is too expensive for her......

SORRY GUYS, IF I COULD BUY A DEAN, I WOULD BUY IT.....

Hey guys. I did a search for completed auctions on eBay and the prices seem to widly vary. What is a reasonable price for used Bill Lawrence USA L-500XL's?

Thanks.

I took my car into the local Ford dealership today.

My master cylinder head had cracked and all the brake fluid leaked out. No brakes!!! A fun thrill ride on the highway!!!!

I'm wearing my DOA shirt. I own 5 Dean shirts, so I wear one several days a week.

One of the Ford service reps Dad works for Dean! He works in sales along with Tony (I think his last name is Gillespie). He was telling me about going to DOA a few years ago and that Elliott is totally cool.

Also, someone else that works there is a Dean player.

Well my 5150's pre-amp tubes died or at least two of them went. Do you have to change the fuse if pre-amp tubes die? Kind of sucks but things sort of worked out. I just spent my money on the super 40 xxx so i'll have an amp to play while i get up enough to buy me a new set of jjs . I'll still be ampless for about 4 days though.

my next amp will be all-tube, probably a 5150 2x12

i'm sure there are things i need to know, pointers, tips, tricks advice, please help. i don't know anything.

thanx

I am looking to join and I have a few questions. What are the odds of going to Iraq, or any foreign country for that matter? What are the odds of dying over there. Ive heard that you have a better chance of dying from a car accident than you do in the military. For my MOS im lookin to go for electrician or hvac. Ive heard from people in the army that there isnt that much action over in Iraq anymore. Theres not very many soldiers dying. These are the main things that are swaying my joining.

I've been speaking vaguely with a friend about jamming some
good'ol rock tunes together, and maybe play some local bars.

So I bought a wah pedal and learned Hendrixs Voodoo Chile
and just yesterday Van Halens Panama made it's way in my head.

After dinner today, I think I'll start with ... Cat Scratch Fever
and then we have Rolling Stones Paint it black as well

So, do you guys have any other suggestions on some good rocksongs to jam.
I'm all ears, but I have to get to the kitchen so I don't burn my food.

Later.

wahburn dimebolts 333 have been on the bay for quite some time and their around like 400 bucks,IMO,they look really nice and everything,anyone know what the orignal price was when these guitars came out

I've got several guitar stands (probably 20 or so).

I really like the Genesis stands from Ultimate Support. I own both the 100 and the 200 series.

But none of my stands seem to fit a Z really well.

Suggestions?

anyone?

ive been looking for the perfect technique to take on dimes solos, but now matter where i go and how hard i try i cant seem to get it, so does anyone know what i could possibly do?

Yeah dred, I'm hear today to preach the kick-assery of my island homes (Trinidad) very own ORANGE SKY !!!

Up to last month they have been touring the states with Malmsteen who is so sold on the band he asked them to finish the tour with him before they head off to Europe to tour with Thin Lizzy.

Before that they toured with Adema (Who I feel verrry sorry for)

So what exactly does Orange Sky sound like? Take Judas Preist, GnR, AC/DC and Black Sabbath with some of that Pantera groove thrown in and mesh it together with Bob Marley, Steel Pulse and Peter Tosh. Add some Lizzy for flavor and spice it up with ganja on the side and you have a brief idea on what Orange Sky sounds like.

I imagen some have already beared witness to Sky however i thought I would add that little intro for those who havent.

Would everyone be up for having a CGI on the Dean home page?

Here's an example of one

First off BIG ups to ijenkch to for the killer job on this thing. It's beautiful! Thanks bro!
Now onto the porn!!!
(please keep in mind that I'm the Lars Ulrich of photography)
SO here's the truss rod cover...very pretty. Well crafted too. The pictures do it NO justice at all. It's got a shimmery pearl quality to it.





And here are some full pics of the guitar. MIK ML Standard. Trans red finish...I switched all the hardware to black. I painted some of the screws, but whatever, it looks killer. This guitar is dangerous. I just had a set up done on it, and while I don't like the lighter strings I accidentally picked out, the thing plays amazing. (If I switched to a higher would it affect the setup? OR take out the little bit of fret buzz there is? So yeah, big thanks to Steve at BRG for hookin me up with the tuners, pup rings, string plate, and all that. I'll #$%@ up now.. BONUS PORN!!!

Okay, it's a little late, but I finally made one or two .



I think that's pretty damn close. Too many bands to choose from, so I made a couple.

Does such guitars exist ?

Hello together

I was just wondering if there are any experiences with the Dean Exotica Andes Acoustic Guitar. I'ts the only acoustic I've ever seen that's made of Rosewood. The look of this guitar is just awesome but how about the sound? Are there any differences to other acoustics? And the most important - how is the quality? Dean isn't always the best company for quality and/or right setup (I made this experience with my USA Dean Hardtail spalted maple).

It would be great to have some voices over here - thanks in advance.

This video late in their career really captures what the Beatles had live. It's raw sound is awesome. enjoy!

Thanks!

Any pedal gurus out there?

I know many of you guys have heard of the infamous JRC4558 chip that comes in many Ibanez Tube Screamers... as well as many other pedals.

Well, I've been bitten by the pedal bug. I have an early-mid 80's Studio Series FL-01 Flanger here and I decided to open it up earlier today to check out the guts. Upon inspection, I noticed it has a chip labled TL4558P along with the little Texas Instrument symbol. I remember reading something about the Texas Instrument chips a year or so ago, so I Google'd the chip model number and was surprised to find out that it is actually the rarest chip they ever put in the original Ibanez TS-808 pedals. I was thinking of tossing this pedal on eBay, but the chip is probably worth more than the pedal to someone that mods.

Anyways, I guess what I'm wanting to know is more about these 4558 chips... not just the JRC, TL, or RC, but any of the ones you guys can shed some light on. I know the pedal game can be tricky and a lot of people get hung up on what components are in the pedal. I just want to know what all of the fuss is about.

Hey thought you guys might want to see me playing my sons new Dean at our show on New Years!!!

Im in a stage right now were I have to buy a million pedals cause my style changes every other month, Right now im look for that Slash sound..Whcih I need a Marshall... I dont have a job yet so I was looking at the Behringer V-Amp 2 and the X V-AMP.

How good are the Modelings on the Amps, I dont care about the Delay effects a BS.
on the site it says...

BRIT HI GAIN Marshall JCM800 (13) 4 x 12" STANDARD '78
SAVAGE BEAST Engl Savage 120 (13) 4 x 12" STANDARD '78
NUMETAL GAIN Mesa Dual Rectifier (15) 4 x 12" V-AMP CUSTOM
MODERN GAIN Soldano SLO (15) 4 x 12" V-AMP CUSTOM
BLACK TWIN Fender Twin Reverb ( 2 x 12" TWIN COMBO


Do the Amp sims sound anything close to what they say?

Man, this thing is sick.

Neck: Slim and fast as hell.

Body: Light weight and fits me perfect.

Sound: This Dimebucker is kick A$$! it's squeals like a banchy!
and the stock Dean pup can push it's own weight too!

All in all this guitar is frippin sweet! I'm never putting this thing down!

* Gonna post porn as soon as my sis gets here with he digital cam*

Pisses me off that the Avalanches get dumped on regularly here. I happen to think the pointy guitars, and especially all the Dime models, are ridiculous looking, but I keep my mouth #$%@. So having said that, lets see some Avalanche pics and stories. C'mon out Avalanche fans, I know you're out there. I'll start, although my Avalanche is now in the hands of the BRG guitars guy. I did a mild relic on it and the knobs are from an old 60s clock radio. BTW BRG guy, if you want those knobs lemme know and I'll send them to you. Flame away!!

If you could tell me what pedal you use and why you like it I'd appreciate the insight. Thanks.

Post some pics people.......






Don't have this one anymore....

So I'm playing with a band at my school battle of the bands in February. I've played one, two song, gig in my entire life, and havent been playing for much more than a year. I'm very new to the band environment, and it is taking a lot of getting used to. Anyway, now with that preface, actual studio practice time.

We went to "The Studio" in NYC to practice today. The place is cheap, for 3 hours the 4 of us had to pay like $8 each. The major downside is that the place is like, 20 years out of date I have never seen so many terrible amps in one room. There was a mesa head with a marshall cab that I finally decided on, that not only took me 10 minutes to get sounding decent, but even then sounded like major poo. I was amazed at how terrible every amp was. My cheap 10W Ibanez starter practice amp sounds like the perfect tone compared to those things. I was just surprised at the quality of everything in the room. Are all studios this bad? If there are better, is the price difference that large?

Another thing I noticed, even simple songs can be butchered when everyone is playing at a totally different tempo The main drummer wanted to cover Master of Puppets and after having us laugh at him last time, he said he re-learned it and proceeded to make an ass out of himself again. He knows most of the parts, but it is ridiculously sloppy, he has problems picking to make the notes actually sound the right way, and when it came to the easiest part of the song, that clean part and then the harmony, I was playing it much better than him, and I suck I think I prefer being the bad guitarist who doesn't know the songs over the arrogant guitarist who thinks he can play a song like Master.

Just thought I would rant a little about my day at band practice, maybe get some responses or advice from you guys.

P.S. I was, and will be using my FBD for the battle of the bands, and I will definitely be getting atleast second place in cool factor (my friend has a ZW Gibson and a Dime southern cross, so he might beat me)

The songs we will be playing, as of right now are

Nirvana - Breed or possibly Lounge Act
Sabbath - NIB
Sabbath - Children of the Grave
Rage Against the Machine - Guerilla Radio
Andrew WK - She is Beautiful
Led Zeppelin - Black Dog

Its more of a crowd pleaser set than anything else, we went for songs that the crowd would recognize and enjoy more than for ourselves, but the two Sabbath songs had to make the cut.

I for one don't but have played a few and love the feel and sound of them.

I would have one but I usually don't have money for one that is higher qulity than my guitars IMO (not trying to start anything)

I was just listening to a few old albums that I completely forgot that I had the other day...

Long story short: "Solar Fire" by Manfred Manns earth band is a GREAT album!

It's a great thing to "rediscover" good albums and listen to them again!

Recognize the feeling?

This one I wanted to shelve. I was not happy with it at all at one point. Which was strange, It just wasnt flowing out. I created something I thought I was not good enough to do properly, and I still dont. This one was on the verge of being shelved, but Brian and I slugged it out and this is what came out. Also it was the hardest one to get out. It uses modes and key changes throughout (A theory play) and follows the chords to each modulation, and also counterpoint. Trying to keep it a song and melodic and not some joke shred fest is what pissed me off a lot and was frustrating the hell out of me, plus all the personal crap I was going through (which btw, I am very happy now).

What was really fun is that, friends of mine from the forum here, were the ones who heard it in its raw mix state, were given the opportunity to tell me to can it or keep it and finish it, and it made it onto the album by their decision! So, it is all yours really, The Dean Forum!.

One more mix has to be done by Brian, and I am sure it will be perfect, but this is the final pre-master by my studio, so we will play them back-to-back this Saturday. His usually wins all the time!

Oh, almost forgot, its called "Ultra Modal Super Stomp"


Enjoy! http://vov.tentenland.net/mp3/umss1.mp3

Well I've come to a conclusion. Since I broke my leg on November 4th, all my friends have aided me in one way or another. But one has kinda stood out from the rest. The guy has gotten groceries for me 6 times, taken me to 8 doctors appointments, took me guitar looking once and brought a bunch of stuff to keep me entertained in my hours of solitude, ie Guitar world, Guitar one and Mustangs and Fast Fords, also got me a calender for my birthday with half unclad lasses. I liked that last one alot.

Anyway he is an old blues guy, has a nice Telecaster and a nice Epiphone Dot and I have decided that I should give him my Dean EVO 60. As all the older members will remember I got the guitar for a song because the store went out of Dean business, but it is a very nice guitar and I think he could use the P90's better than I could.

So that is my decision, just thought that I would share it with you all.

Dug

Just curious for any feed back if any one out there in Dean land has tried either of these 2 pedals. Im curious if theyre smash or trash.
Any feedback would be kewl.

I don't need to say it but I have a feeling this year is Cower's Year

[/img]

Just got off the phone with a Furman Rep. I was asking about the pq-3. Although they do not make it right now he said to keep a eye out that it may be reissued in the near future. So everyone if you want one of these great units e-mail them and ask them to reissue the pq-3. The more the better.

Don't kiss a guy before the fight.

how the hell do you do band in a box???

Hey all

would you buy a Dean FBD ML from a non-official dealer??

I've got serious GAS for one and have been offered £699.99 (non official dealer) and £725.00(official dealer)

has anyone had any dealings with a non-official dealer of a fine instrument like a FBD? wondered if they dont includ certain things like certificate and DIME PICTURE!!

thanx for your help guys

He says he's looking for a guitar deal,why not Dean?He says Dime was a major influence on his playing ,so why not weild the axe of his idol?I know alot of folks here hate Trivium,but I think they are a good couple of players.He could do worse than switching to Dean.Just a thought...

I'm embarrased to ask but ...

what differs a ML-x from a regular '79 ML, besides bodywood ?

Anyone tried these? They're metal-tastic!

They're plectrums that come in brass, stainless steel and copper.

S.Steel - light
Brass - medium
Copper - Heavy

I've just got one of each for my bruv-inlaw and tried 'em out. The med/heavy are great for electric, haven't tried, but I'd think the steel would be good for serious acoustic mayhem!

Cheers y'all!
Ally.

Thanks for making me AWARE that Helloween had a New Disc! and Thanks for making me step up my search for the New Gamma Ray (Which was on my list already). They are both AMAZING CD's!!! No disappointment!!! I also finally got Iron Savior - Interlude as well at the same time!

Just thought I'd let you know that your Post about the Top Ten Metal Albums for 2005 helped out

Chris

This is a wicked video of chris adler(Lam of God) and his brother willie adler(Lam of God) just jamming out blood on the scribe. Its sweet. I originally played drums in a band but took up guitar as a side project and ended up buying a dean thats why I am on here but anyway Enjoy!

Can anyone tell me what comes in the case with a new Dean ML 79. I got mine in today and it had keys, wrench and warranty card. Thats it. I thought it had a kit with goodies and some tags on the guitar tied up on the headstock. Please someone let me know. I am wondering if the dealer didn't leave something out.

Headed out about 7am for Jacksonville. I'm taking my P90 Z and my Hamer Artist Korina too. Most of all I'm head up there to sit 2nd row at Aerosmith and Lenny Kravitz tomorrow night. Life IS Good.
Man, I love being a fan club geek. Only reason I keep up the membership is the seats. Really couldn't care less about the guy's favorite color but I dont mind knowing their favorite guitars.
So, check ya'll out soon enough.

By popular demand here's 3000 words. I can guarantee that 7 of the 3000 words were "Oh God that hurts!" and "God we're retarded" I'm the one with the gas can, and that's my brother being engulfed in flames.

These are how I spent my New Year Evil! In chronological order:

http://weirdal.com/lostrhapsody/lostrhapsody.htm

Al is one of my all time musical heros and inspirations.

I received my DOD YJM308 pedal from Musician's Friend. I placed the order on the 3rd and received it today... 3 days later. Thats good in my book. The pedal was well packed and in flawless condition... as expected since it was brand new.

I also received my Epi Valve Jr. amp and GTECC83 tube from Music123. This order was placed on the 28th of December. I understand that this order was placed in the midst of the holiday season, but I believe they could have shipped it earlier. I tracked it and it too was shipped on January 3rd. The amp I ordered was c-stock, but I've yet to find any blemishes. It was actually in a factory-sealed box, so perhaps they shipped me the wrong one. This is the only reason I am not raising total hell in the next paragraph...

The tube is another story. An extremely large outer box was used to hold the amp box and tube. (I could actually fit three of these amps on their side in this outer box) The tube was just in a protective sleeve... if you can call it that. The "sleeve" is paper thin and provides zero support. You can probably tell where this is going... the tube was shattered. I called customer service as soon as I discovered the shattered tube. I was put on hold for over 20 minutes. I decided to try back later. This was around 1:00pm. I tried back around 3:30pm and was put on hold once again. I decided to wait it out this time. 45 minutes later, I was connected with a real person and the elevator music stopped. I explained the situation to the customer service lady and she gave me the return shipment number and all of that good stuff. She assured me that I would receive a pre-paid UPS shipping label through email in 3-4 business days. (I found this to be absurd... she had the capability to send me one while I was on the phone with her.) She told me to send the tube back to them ASAP when I receive the label because it is only good for 10 days. She then explained to me that it would take another 3-4 business days for Music123 to examine the tube and send out a replacement. WHAT IS THERE TO EXAMINE? Your Music123 below 70 IQ type-dumbs tossed a tube in the bottom of a box with a 25lb amp on top of it and handed it off to the FedEx oafs to finish the job.

Now don't get me wrong here guys, I know that $13.99 (price of tube) isn't going to make me or break me, but between the time I spent today on hold and the time/gas it will take me to go to the nearest UPS drop location (35 miles away), this is getting frustrating. Surely if a large company like Music123 can absorb the cost of the new tube, they can trust that I am not lying to them about it and send me another one without having to go through all of this hassle. If not for the principle of this matter, I would toss it and order from somewhere else.

I've never encountered any problems with Musicians Friend. This is my first (and last) time ordereing from Music123. I'll pay MF an extra $20 next time because they do the job right.


On to the review... At this time, I'm just going to say that I believe the money for the amp and pedal were VERY well spent. I played the amp all evening and I haven't found an unusable sound yet. Its great for blues and classic rock and with the pedal, I can venture off into what I deem an acceptable hard rock tone. I will completely review this amp and pedal in a couple weeks after the "honeymoon" phase has left. Until then, I urge you guys to drop a bill on one of these Epi Valve Jr. amps... For less than $100, you get a single-ended all-tube 5-watt class A amp with an 8" Weber Ceramic Signature speaker and a niftly little control panel with a single volume knob. Another plus is that there is actually a 4 ohm jack on the back, so if you wish to run an extension cab, you just have to plug it in.

how do you test a pickup using a volt/ohm meter, and what are you checking for? thanks and sorry for the stupid question.

Does anyone here use Photobucket? If so, does it resize your pics when you upload them? Because it is making all my pictures tiny for no reason, and I can't figure out how to fix it. Can anyone help?

I just checked out Blabbermouth.net it appears former Megadeth members Jimmy Degrasso drums and David Ellefson bass are bands mates again. They are joining one of my favorite guitarist Ronnie Montrose. Awesome news hes also got a new album coming out featuring a great fleet of vocalist Sammy Hagar(hes on the first two Montrose albums. Must haves for any classic rock lover) Joe Elliot of Def Leppard, Edgar Winter. I know late last year Paul Stanley of Kiss as also been said to appear on the album. Hopefully he'll tour around the USA.

Its cool news! But isnt Michael not comin back to the USA because of some legal trouble. Anyways I hope it happens. Rudolph and Michael Schenker WoW! Two of the very best guitarist in Hard Rock/Heavy Metal history. The riffs those two have came up with. Yes Mikes a better soloist but when Rudolph solo in Scorpions slow ballad songs its very memorable. It'd be real cool to see Ruldolph strap on a Schenker Dean V guitar. I've read Rudolp owns a Gibson Flying V guitar for early since the "V" was introduced. In 1958 thats a ton of V's.

Young-bloods.....

From Blabbermouth:

"Former PANTERA/DAMAGEPLAN drummer Vinnie Paul is currently looking for "different and out-there talent" for his new record label, Big Vin Records. Bands can send submissions to:

BVR
420 E. Lamar, No. 212
Arlington, Texas 76011

As previously reported, Big Vin Records has secured a distribution deal via Fontana. The label's first release will be an album from REBEL MEETS REBEL, a unique crossover of country, metal and rock. It features three of the founding members of PANTERA (Vinnie Paul, Dimebag and bassist Rex Brown) together with legendary country singer/outlaw David Allan Coe. REBEL MEETS REBEL's CD was recorded over a four-year period and is set to contain a total of 12 tracks, including "Nothin' To Lose", "Rebel Meets Rebel", "Cowboys", "Panfillo", "Heartworn Highway", "One Night Stand", "Arizona Rivers", "A Man With Nothin' Ain't Got Nothin' to Lose", "New York City Streets" and "Get Outta My Life". The title track, "Rebel Meets Rebel", was previously said to be a duet with PANTERA singer Philip Anselmo, although it is not presently clear if Anselmo's contributions will make it to the final product. "Rebel Meets Rebel" is tentatively scheduled for release in March 2006.

The second project to be released via Big Vin will be a DVD, "Dimevision", as a tribute to Dimebag, one of metal's all-time guitar greats who is credited by some for creating the original concept which eventually became the MTV hit series "Jackass". "Dimevision" features Dime's stellar guitar playing and offbeat brand of humor, and is sure to be a title every serious PANTERA fan will have to own.

PANTERA's career overview CD, "The Best of Pantera: Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys' Vulgar Hits!", has sold 476,000 in the United States since its September 2003 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The 16-song "Vulgar Hits!" CD was packaged with a bonus DVD boasting 12 videos, including two live performances. The bulk of the material was culled from the band's six major-label releases, but also included are non-album cuts "Cat Scratch Fever" (a cover of the TED NUGENT song that originally appeared on the Polygram soundtrack to "Detroit Rock City") and the BLACK SABBATH cover "Hole in the Sky", previously available only on import."

Could you guys give me the lowdown on the 79V? I started working afterschool and I'm actually going to be able to afford some decent gear, and I was previously thinking about getting a Jackson RR3 or KVX10 (I REALLY like the shape of the guitars, and they're supposed to be good) but I've been looking at the price of the 79 V and it's really affordable, and looks to be a damn nice guitar.

So guys, convert me from Jackson to Dean

This guitar appears to be an exact copy of a baby ML.
Shouldn't it be some sort of copyright violation?

Thanks.
Noah.

i know that it has been upgraded from the old damageplan song but what are song are they playin now?? what band?

UPI is reporting that fourth-term National Rifle Association director and Motor City Madman Ted Nugent says a Michigan gubernatorial run is in the cards for 2010.

"I could have won in '06," the politically conservative rocker said in Saturday's New York Daily News.

Nugent said Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm "is not doing an ugly job, but as the perfect woman, she is scrotumless."

Nugent said he had too much going on with his TV shows and civic duties to mount a serious run.

"I figured the last thing I need ... was the governor responsibility in a scrambling cleanup, damage-control situation as Michigan is," he told The News.

The star of the OLN network's "Wanted: Ted or Alive" reiterated his criticism of the welfare system, railing against "the pimps and whores and welfare brats" who think they've "got the right to my (money) because Jesse Jackson represents (them)."

He also had some advice for the hungry.

"A topless grandmother in a sofa surrounded by dog feces? If you're poor, you can't have a dog! You start by eating the (expletive) pets! Am I out of my mind?"

Best music video with Deans in it?

I'm going with an old school choice -

ZZ Top - Legs

That video was a fantasy for me in the 80's. Hot women, cars and guitars all in one video. Cool song too.

Well it has been a few days since i got my super 40. I thought i'd wait till i got use to the sound , feel and controls of the amp before posting my review about it.

1. The amp is heavier , weighing in at about 53 pounds for a 2x12 . that is heavey to me but it may not be compared to other amps in it's class.

2. I am confident in it's reliablity, after all it survived FEDEX shipping .

3. I took a small chance on thinking that although the crunch doesn't have it's own eqs that it would be very simular to that of the xxx head. IT isn't . The gain is a bit more vintage voiced, and there isn't as much . The gain can be a little rough when set low but it compresses up nicely .

4. The ultra channle is pretty much the same as the head . It has an active eq and is pretty moldable. The clean/crunch has standard passive eq

5. The amp is 40 watts and the speaker is 30 . i have turned it up to about 3 and it is loud as hell , but i am not sold that the speaker could handle all the power that the amp can push out . I'll have a chance to find out soon enough and i will of couse report back on it.

6. The power tubes are well protected , but heat travels up and located on the back panel of the amp directly above the the power tubes is the insert for the footswitch . The cable got warm in about 30 minuets of play . I am not sure how warm it could get , but the insert could have been located to one side or the other.

7. The effects are actually kind of good. They can be a bit hard to control due to some limitations on editing the intensity and speeds . Overall a nice touch though.

8. footswitchable volume boost option . This is a great feature that i think should be on all amps in one form or another .

9. If you enjoy the sound of the xxx head and dont care much about the amber channle this combo is an excellent choice. The cleans are great , the amp can put out some massive sound but still sound equally as great at lower volumes. The effects are an added little bonus plus the volume boost is great for solos . The amp really is an all in one package .

Just did some for fun yesterday, still need a bassplayer though. But that is not really neccesary til we start playing live.

SOoooo What's everyone's guilty pleasures? Bands you'll make fun of with your friends, but when they leave you'll pull out the CDs.

I've got Tori Amos, Sheryl Crow, Meatloaf (though I admit that one freely) Heather Nova, Foo Fighters, and Garbage (again...freely admit...I like Shirley Manson..a lot! )

Guys!

I am on the hunt for an upgrade from my Marshall MG10 that I have been using and I have a few questions I was hoping some people could answer for me.

Has anyone used a Line 6 Flextone II or the Duoverb 212? How do they sound and are the amp models true to life?

Has anyone ever used a Johnson Marquis, either the JM 60 or 120?

Roland Cube 60.....

Behringer Vamp 210

Vox AD 50 VT.

All can be had for about the same price but no one in my area seems to carry anything but Crate, Fender, or Marshall. Any help would be appreciated.

Hey, I'm new to the forum. Just like to say hello to everyone and sort of introduce myself.

I dont have a dean yet but im considering a Dime-o-Flame or a ML 79F + Dime from hell baby
what do you think i should buy?

This is a band some friends of mine are in there guitarist is playing a Dean check them out http://server5.hxcmp3.com/bands/36040/index.php

Well I got a 1988 randall rg100es, and they say you should change the filter caps every 15 years or so, and this amp is about 18 years old. It's got some hum to it, but that seems like a common problem with these amps, especially with high gain settings. If I do change them, do I just look for any capacitor with the right voltage or whatever?

I've finally reached 1,000 posts here. At last!

WARNING-This video contains excerpts of the 911 calls from the Alrosa Villa club.If hearing this would upset you please don't watch.The guy who made the video was obviously very upset when he made it,judging by some of the images,but it is by far the most emotional tribute video I've seen.
http://www.youtube.com/w/My-Dimebag-Tribute?v=o7LRJtrdo6c&search=Pantera

Just got the new Guitar Player and guess who is on page 70? Yep, an article titled "Speed King...Michael Angelo Batio Brings Shred Out Of The Shadows". Cool shot of him playing the Mach we've all come to know and love.

I read it and not one mention of the band "The Editors"

I have to say, it was a good time. There were 2 local acts that opened the gig (I didn't catch their names.) There were quite a few people at this gig (many more than I expected) and ran into some old friends - so that's always a good thing.

The 1st band was easily the WORST band I have ever seen live. They played little music. Most of their set was 2 guys in Ray Mysterio masks calling each other posers and doing bad fake wrestling moves on stage. Then when they did attempt to play - it didn;t seem like they were really doing the same thing, and they had some chick on stage beating a trash can lid with a license plate and doing ballerena moves. The most entertaining part of this band was listening to people in the crowd jeering them.

The 2nd band was MUCH better. 5 piece (2guitar [1 guy also sang]/bass/drums, keys) that were kind of a melodic death metal kinda thing. The singer/guitarist was good and had some pretty killer leads. The keys also added nicely to the mix. No real complaints, other than their songs were reeeeaaaallllly long. 4 or 5 tunes in a 30+ minute set if I remmeber correctly.

Finntroll was on next. I only have that Nattfodd cd and wasn't very impressed with it. They did put on a decent enough show, but it sounded like the same corny circus song with bad death metal vocals over and over again. I remember someone on here explaining the purpose of corpse paint and what not as being an attempt to show super human like qualities and to scare the crowd into thinking the band is of an unnatural evilness. I thought the Braveheart face/body paitings and black kilts to add to the clown like atmosphere. The crowd really seemed to dig it though, and I must say - quite a few people left when Finntroll was finished.

On to the headling act - SODOM. They played for just under an hour and a half (Fintroll also had the same length set.) Sodom seemed very happy to be in North America doing some shows. Also, it seemed that they were having a great time. The sound was better than I had hoped after reading another review of the band from the previous night's show. The crowd was also Very happy to see them. A great deal of folks having an excellent metal evening.

The only down part of the evening was a group of guys from Poland that came to the states to follow Finntroll during this mini tour had a run in with security. There was 1 rather large fellow that had quite a few beers in him that grabbed his 2 friends and started moshing it up a bit up by the bar (club is set up with an upper bar with a standing area and railing/down a step some tables/down a step and the pit area.) They ran into some folks and everything seemed ok. Security came up to check things out.....one thing led to another and the large man is being carried out with a bouncer on each limb and into the cold he went. When I left the gig he was still outsdie talking with 2 policemen. I hope he didn;t get arrested and can catch the rest of the show with his buddies (almost seemed like a foriegn prisoner exchange for Will in Mortician.)

All in all, it was a good night and fun show.

Who else is tired of hearing about Dimebag?

He's a great guitarist and all, and I like him, but it's all I ever really hear about when i'm on here, and it kind of bores me.

Just curious. I believe Charvel and Jackson were kinda the same thing at one time. I saw Sodom last night. The guitarist had a kelly shaped axe, but had the Charvel logo on the headstock (the one that looks like a guitar) 24 fret, dot inlays, bolt on, floyd.
I guess it could just be an oddball neck on an oddball body.

It's been a while since I've posted anything on the Forum. Been busy with work and just trying to squeeze in some quality time in between. I was just on Harmony Central looking up a piece if gear that I just bought and a usual no matter what it is you have there is always this one cross-section of users who think what you just bought totaly sucks. You know what I'm saying. So far, everything that I have purchased I have been very pleased with. I won't say what those items are since this is not a review. I have come to the realization that your personal satisfaction and opinion is all that really matters. I believe that some people will try to have us believe that their opinion is the last word simply by knocking everyong else. Sort of like movie critics. Did you like the movie? If so, that's all that matters.
No, I don't really have a point here. I simply felt like making this comentary regarding product reviews. I love this site because I can ask for advice and get a wide varity of responses from which I can make my own assesment but I have made the decision to stop reading product reviews made by users like myself. If I need the performance stats. on a car I will log on to Road and Track where assesments are made by experts.
Look, all I am saying to you folks out there is to not get cought up in product review sites.
Listen to yourself. If you like it, great. If not, well try something else. Sound is very subjective and not all ears are created equal.
Anyway, that's all I really have to say simply because I felt I needed to.

What would a world be like without tribute bands???

they carry on the legacy (sometimes not a good idea) and offer an experience you'd otherwise not encounter

anyway, id like to hear your thoughts and stuff on your favourite tribute bands (if any)

(i was a van halen nut and theres a few good musicians out there who have studied everything there is to know about eddies 'chops' - heres an example)

Thanks for the recomendations.

Not couch related...but just a really cool pic I like!!

Maybe I'll do somethin' similar with my Dean.




Hope you've enjoyed checkin' out my new ghetto couch!

just got my evo pr back from tech plays great intonation is great but wondering ?should the screws face the headstock or tailpeice? or is either way ok?

Saw the re-formed original line up ,well not the original but the one that the definitive one of the 80s thrash.
They were really good but I also like the John bush era Anthrax also.I think a little better because Bush can do the old classics but Belladonna wasnt doing stomp 442 and the Bush era stuff .Just my opinion, all in all still enjoyable.

No kids, bought the Mesa .50cal+. got it from music go round, cant wait, gets here wends.

Thankfully amps are one thing where beauty is on the inside actually means something

in 6 months I (if the Active Army doesn't move on my paper work) will be in Iraq. I don't know more but that is al I can say.

I'm looking for a general rule-of-thumb for connecting pedal effect boxes. Each time I add one to my chain of effects I have to move them around like a shell game to find the best sound. The four I am currently running are (from my guitar) Whammy Pedal, Digital Delay, Compressor/Sustain, Distortion. The Delay was the last one purchased so I put it on the end. Then, after moving it next to the Whammy I found it sounded much better. What is the rule for running a "chain"? Is there a rule?

I know... its not what you guys expected. Here is the newest member of my family... 6 1/2 week old Boxer named Kojak.

(also pictured are my cats... Kit and Kat)

anybody else here a fan? or heard of them, as over here in the u.k everybody looks at me real weird when i say there name lol.

sorry faust for taking the pic out of your sig, but i was really bored and had to whip something up in paint

why not post your own crappy paint adventures?

i got my 18th party coming up, thought i'd make it a dress up booze party. only problem is, i can't think of wat to go as. just wondering what you guys might dress up as, and yes i've already thought of buckethead - but that mask just makes it too hard to eat and drink. appricate and looking forward to the responses!

Hello bruthas and sistas!

I need a bit of advice on amplification. The usual trip to light-up GC and try out some amps has been stepped up due to my Chinchilla eating the cord to my Marshall practice amp. I live in an apartment so space is obviously an issue, as well as lugging equipment around so...

Is there a combo amp out there that can provide the sounds I am looking for? (too bad because I still have my Marshall 4x10 cab layin'around.) I haven't played live in some years, but I am playing more now than I did then, and am looking to do some serious recording. Now I have the ultimate guitars, the sound needs to be developed.

Here is some basic criteria...
1. Preferably under a grand! (100 watts is NOT necessary)
2. Killer metal tone with GOOD clean tones
3. Reliable

That's it, I would really appreciate some suggestions 'cause there are WAY too many damn choices!

Thanx!
Evil Mr. Bubbakins...

I need some advice on recording some clips, I have a Shure SM-57 but no matter where I put it in front of my cab it never seems to sound anything like what I hear.
I am running the mic straight in to my soundcard (sound blaster audigy) and I`m thinking it may be the software I`m using and/or the soundcard.
any recomendations?

Hey People while since I posted!!
Have a question looking for advice! I have been a long time Marshall / tube amp guy and I am in the middle of recording a new Blacksmith cd, I came across someone with a Randall Warhead X2
plugged in , thought it sounded good! Could get this at a really good price / trade! Being that I am a Marshall guy, do you think its a mistake to go to a solid state amp like that!
Anybody have opinions/ info on the Warhead X2? thought it sounded really chunky. Any downfalls or negatives on this amp ?
solid state scares me, but this sounded good!

D.S.

I have an old kramer proaxe and was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for some new pups. I have emgs in one guitar and love them and have the dfh with dimes pups and love those,but I would be interested in trying something else. I'm looking for something that screams in the bridge and warm in the neck.

Alright, so come payday this Friday, I'm gonna be gettin' a wah pedal. I just have no idea which one. I've looked at a bunch online but have yet to try any out, so I'm really just looking for a lot of opinions. Sound clips would be AWESOME. Bascially, I'm looking for versatility, and smooth sounding tone.

And I forgot to hit add option for the last one, so if you know of any other good wah pedals, just post 'em.

check it out http://www.zakkwylde.com/nwwd/mafia2.htm

Check it out guys! I'm finally in a badass band! We just finished cutting our demo (4 songs) and it's picking up pretty fast with offers to play out of state and way out of town and we're only on our 4th gig with our 1st gig being an out of state one in Oklahoma. Maybe one day soon I'll be on the Dean Artist page Anyway check out our songs! Look Away is our singing more mainstreamish I guess song and my personal favorite of these 4 tracks is The Path (really proud of that guitar solo too). Hopefully you guys will share your opinions with me positive or negative. It never hurts to hear the pros or cons. Thanks guys!

As I mentioned yesterday today is Michael Schenker's birthday. He was born January 10th 1955. Have a good one.

Any of you guys tried one. I seen a local bands guitarist had one it sounded great. I know two of my favorite guitarist use the amp. Billy Gibbons of ZZ TOP and Vernon Reid of Living Colour. The amps same very verstile any suggestions or opinions on the amp?

I posted a clip a while back of Bill sheehan and Paulgilbert. I thought it was awesome......., check this out!!!!!

My god, they're both amazing, but thatbass player is unlike anyone I've ever seen.

I got the triamp mk2 for christmas, and let me say, this thing owns. I can get jazz clean to uberschall gain on this bad boy. 6 Channels, FX loop, midi capable, half power cut, this thing rocks the house. I got the celestion vintage 30 equipped cab for it to. The only problem is it is the loudest mofo on the planet. By far the best thing about this amp though is that the distortion is crushing at extremely low volumes. Amazing. ALL TUBE POWER!

Amp 1= Jazz clean
Amp 2= No breakup, but a little more oomph than amp 1.
Amp 3= Malcolm Young
Amp 4= Angus to Eddie Van Halen Sound
Amp 5= Later EVH, early Zakk Wylde
AMp 6= CRUSHING, eric johnson drive mixed with rusty cooley, just dial it in

Did Rik Emmit use a Dean on 'Fight the Good Fight'?

I just heard that song for the first time in years. What a great track.

I know that Rik Emmet used Deans for awhile. Did he play a Dean on this track?

Mark

Heres some guy I found. He's pretty good. But check this out....heres a video of him playing a a lefthanded les paul....
http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=wurBTSD-rQg
He says that he is righthanded in the video summary,......but check out this video looks like the same guitar to me.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=TR5DEF_fKuM

I think he just mirrored the video. Heres more proof.
Lefthanded..... http://www.youtube.com/watch.php?v=fBJpD1Uwte0 note it doesnt show the headstock to see a possible backwards logo. And the logo on his shirt looks kinda like a backwards addidas logo(cant tell kinda blurry.) Even if it wasnt an addidas logo, how many shirts have the logo on the rightside?
And heres the same guitar righthanded.... http://www.youtube.com/w/Me-playing-Dream-Theater%27s-Erotomania-main-solo?v=U7lYzYTJCu0&search=dream%20theater%20guitar%20rock%20metal%20shred%20prog
So is this guy trying to look better than he is, or does he actually have left and right handed matching guitars, or am I an idiot and misinterpreted the summary in the first video?

Sorry for the long post. I was just wandering what you guys thought. (and yes, I am a loser with nothing better to do than watch guitar videos and try to disprove ones skills. )

What's up fellow DOA's? My college classes don't start for about another week and I'm thinking about hopping in my car and driving down to the area just for shits and grins. I'm only 20 so I can't go out to the bars unfortunately, but I think I'll want to go to Dime's grave and see some s#%t, so if anyone wants to volunteer their number or something shoot me a PM. I'm thinking about bring another friend if she's game, but this is all just an idea at the moment. We're not looking to spend a ton of cash so we'll probably just sleep in the car, or she knows one broad in the area somewhere. Any good concerts happening down there in the next few days?

Sorry if this is a repost, haven't been around much lately.

Has anyone heard any rumours to what Dime guitar is going to be unveiled at the winter NAMM? .....is it gonna be a razor or another ML design?

Ok A friend of mine has really got me thinking and I think that I need A less pointy but still very agresive guitar and we have been talking abot building An 8-string guitar for him and he likes this design BUT me I think it needs updateing to fit my style but yet still be the same basic design so im going to mod it and fix the upper horn

this is the plan!! bring down the upper horn and level it out to flow better
maybe add length to the whole thing and do A crisper edge maybe A bevel only if it fits the style and the guitar will be sold in 6,7,8 string with an alder body and finished in Flat Black!!

These are most hilarious.

If your looking for Bill Lawrence L-500XL's I found a place that has them in stock and for the same price as if you order them from the Bill Lawrence website. just though I would share this with anybody who wants one.

http://www.adirondackguitar.com/pickups/bill_l/500xl.htm

Is that Eric Peterson sporting a Dean ,
The new Cd kixs Booty , Alex skolnick awsum

Which ones I have?

Just took a PRS Santana SE in on trade and the customer said he bought it used with X2Ns already installed.

Well, I knew they were not X2Ns right away. He left and I opened it up to find "Bill Lawrence USA" on the back of each pup and absolutely nothing on the front. Grey lead for the neck and red for the bridge. I'm gonna assume these are not Bill/Becky version but are they L500XL, L or R?

I was planning to just dump the whole guitar on ebay starting pretty low and let 'er rip, but now I'm thinking of splitting this up and selling the guitar in one auction and the pups seperately.

Don't want to start a flame war with this question just wanting to know which pups I have. That's all.

If this goes down hill I'll just delete my original post or ask Pete to delete the whole thread.

Hey guys, I'm takin a class @ my school and i need a classical guitar. I've already got a dean mlf, and i thought i'd give dean's classical line a shot. Does anyone know the model name of the guitar in the "Dean Classical Espana Pack"? I've been trying to figure out if the model is on the Dean site at all, and from what i can tell it seems like it's an Espana CSR. Any help would be great..thanks

I Finally got a dean!!!! It came in today, its a 2004 White ML with black binding, I got off Ebay. Let me just say, it is easily the best guitar I have ever played. It rips!!!! The humbuckers are the best stockies I've ever heard .The inlays are beautiful, and the overall quality is awsome. Belive me when i say it makes my other guitars feel like toys (my washburn used to do that) I've had alot of trouble putting it down. Anyway what made this guitar 10 times cooler than it already was, is that the previous owner routed it out for a original floyd rose. I fell a little bad though, cause I was gonna buy a tbz MLF from Tim at center stage, but both me and my brother decided that this was just to cool to pass up.


Me and my brothers collection.


THere she is!!! I was so nervous all day in school, cause it was Friday the 13th, and UPS was delivering it, but luckily it got delivered fine.


Original Floyd kicks ass, and the route isn't the best but its sits straight and stays in tune too. lol after using the Original floyd, i dont think i can settle for less.


As i said the route isnt the best but it works.


I finally got my WINGS!!!


The Humbuckers are amazing for stock ones. And the black binding is insane....Its got it up the neck too.


A little EVH touch i added.


Another full body shot. At first when i got it and figured out it was saggy, i was a little disapointed, but it looks so much better in person. All my friends say its to big for me (im only 5'4/5'5) but i don't care cause its badass!! And ass for future guitars, i only see deans.

Well thats all i got for now, hopefully next week ill get some in action pictures at band practice. As of now i gotta play it.

Clerks 2!!! Smith says it'll be out Aug.-ish. I loved the first (pretty much all the movies with Jay and Silent Bob are gold). They got a bunch of vid. diaries, funny s#%t with Mewes and Smith, and they also got the teaser up (features Anthrax in the teaser too )

So why are Deans not imported in the uk?

i thought that it would boost there sales up and make them a bit more well known?

plus i really want a dean

anyone on myspace??

i was looking for info on my 5150 and found this

http://www.mindspring.com/~atlantatubeamp/id15.html

it has a ton of great things about amps espically if your a beginner to the amp world .

My 4 year old daughter, who is the worst person in world for keeping secrets, told me this early this morning -

'Daddy for your birthday we got you some pants in the mail from an Armadillo!'

I have no clue what this is. Something from Dean, I'm sure. But what?

Well you don't get to see them, I just needed your attention. As some of you know I put down a deposit on a two tone, because I'm a dumbass and couldn't wait untill NAMM to see if there will be new paintjobs. The thing I was wondering is, if there are new paintjobs(I'm hopping for diamond plating) how long would it take them to get on the shelves? I know the main thing delaying the razorbacks so far was getting the shapes into the computers or whatever. Now that they have that solved, how long will it take to get the new paintjobs into production? Thanks in advance.

BTW, Harley you've got a PM.

For any of you cats that use gmail, how do you forward messages without having to cut and paste addresses?

It's quite possible that my *nimrodia is flarin' up on me again...but I can't figure it out!!
Thanks for any help you can offer!

I just got it in today and I fucken love it

Any of you guys know of good places to find powermetal tabs? All of the bands I like are extremely hard to find.

I'm currently looking for "Sacrifice" by Last Tribe.



EDIT: I'm also looking for "Wolf and Raven" by Sonata Arctica. And if Mark would be so kind, I would love if he would PM with a tab for "Frozen in Fear". I love that song...

Anybody think jimmy page's signature guitar is ridiculously overpriced? http://www.music123.com/Gibson-Custom-Custom-Authentic-Jimmy-Page-Les-Paul-i130994.music someone could just buy a standard and tweak it to his specs and save a shitload of money. I dunno, maybe its got something that people cant just bring to a shop and tweak. whatever, as long as people are willing to pay that much I guess it doesnt really matter

Anyone who wants in, come on. We're discussing the finer points of gangsta slang at the moment.

does anyone have the link to that funny artical about Thor and the over use of hand gestures? I need to show it to a friend of mine.

JIMI HENDRIX Psychedelic Flying V Guitar Unveiled At CES - Jan. 15, 2006

The Gibson Custom Shop wowed crowds at CES 2006 with the launch of the new "Inspired By" guitar series and its debut guitar, the stunning Jimi Hendrix Psychedelic Flying V (see photo at this location). A meticulous recreation of the mysterious Flying V that Hendrix used on tour in Europe in 1967 and 1968, the guitar features exacting reproductions of Jimi's own hand-painted designs that graced the original. Originally done in what appears to be nail polish, the swirling, psychedelic designs have been painstakingly rendered by artist Bruce Kunkel in close conjunction with the Custom Shop.

"I would never have come up with the images that Jimi painted," Kunkel said. "They were totally personal and came directly from his spirit."

In addition to the care taken with the artwork, the genius luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop have built the guitar with the exacting standards and attention to detail that have earned them the reputation of building the finest guitars in the world. The result, an instrument of unsurpassed playability and tone, is an original work of art that can be beautifully displayed or proudly played. The Custom Shop will soon debut other guitars in the "Inspired By" series, including the Peter Frampton Les Paul Special.

For more information, check out www.gibsoncustom.com/inspiredby.

Boss MT-2 Metal Zone, Digitech Metal Master, or a Digitech DF-7 Distortion Factory?

I know it's a frequently asked question, but you know. I need opinions!

Or the Ibanez:

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/product/reviews/base_pid=480295/rpp=10/

well i got some new fuses ealier today and after selling some stuff got enough cash to get me a set of electro harmoincs 6l6 tubes and some EH 12ax7 so I'll know if it was tubes and fuses that was the combination for my problem or if there is somthing more serious .

i have been thinking about this for awhile and thought I’d see what I’d from all of you.

Our existence is only defined by what we can see, test, or go by on a leap of faith . All these have some root in a prior action that is defined by one another . Have you ever thought about what things could really be like beyond the above listed definitions that we hold for our "Reality" . What if life (reality) isn't a smoke screen . To think that as i type this , there are any number of possible thing occurring that i know nothing of . Almost a Matrix scenario .

Another disturbing detail to this is that our memory lies to us. I was watching a show about memory on the science channel, and it made the simple statement that our memory isn't always trustable. It is true or otherwise we'd never forget anything . Memory can fashion its self in such a way that we may remember one thing but in reality the actual thing we are remembering happened very differently. My point is that if we can't remember our past what assures us that we have ever really existed.

I found out how time travel is "theoretically" possible .

am example .

you have a beam of light traveling at the normal speed that light would. Next to the beam of light you have a person on a motorcycle. now lets say that somehow the motorcycle could travel as fast as the speed light . So assume they both take off at the exact same time starting at the speed of light . From an observer standing on the side lines the beam of light and motorcycle would be at dead even but from the guy on the motorcycles perspective the beam of light would race on ahead of him as though he where stationary. Not possible you say . Yes it is . Light originates from every point of the beam into the eye therefore it is originating at the very end of the beam seeming to shot forward . I can't get into Einstein’s theory of relativity and too much into the notion that space is curved but i told you that to tell you this. Time travel has already occurred .
There was a group of researchers that borrowed 4 atomic clocks from the navy . 2 where sent on a plane trip round the world and the other 2 remained at a fixed location. The two that where on the plane showed up a few billionths of a second behind the ones that where stationary. Meaning that they had jumped forward in time very slightly. Using the mathematics behind the theory of relativity the mathematical time and actual time the clocks where of was the same.
So if time is able to be manipulated what else is out there that is left un-touched by a human’s perspective on reality?

this looks stunning but i hate the nicks on the neck

OK, I just bought a KORG D3200 recorder, and tonight I made my first clip with the built in session drums. I think it doesn't sound bad for a first attempt. It's nothing really special but it's far better than the video I posted a while back!

The guitar is a DEAN USA V with DiMarzio Super Distortion.

man this guy is good .

I just read that it may happen. Yngwie Malmsteen may reunited with Graham Bonnet(ex- Rainbow, MSG a ton of others) vocals and the rest of Alcatrazz. If you havent heard the "No Parole For Rock and Roll" album it is a must. Awesome riffs and the solos (though not that out of control even for Yngwie) and great songs. I hope it happens.

ok, so I have a few invitations, so who wants one? either post your e-mail here, or shoot me a PM

I recently bought an Ibanez RG1570(L) and I got it in today.
I know its not a dean but this thing plays incredibly well!
It has probably the lowest action I have ever felt. The neck is really thin. It has surprisingly great sustain for a bolt-on. The pickups arn't the best for metal, the bridge is a little bit bassy, but all three of em sound great for shredding(thats what I bought it for anyways)
The only thing I was disapointed with was the fact that the guy I ordered it from didnt send a trem arm. WTF! I e-mailed him to ask why not, but I havnt got a reply yet. So I'm not sure how well it stays in tune, or how good the edge pro trem is at all. I tried the arm from my FBD but it was smaller so I didnt want to mess up the threads inside. (I'm not sure but, is there threads inside there? My first edge trem)
Also the box was damaged when I got it(Fedex) So I checked it out, and the High E string was broken. (arnt you supposed to de0tune it before shipping?)So I had to stick a new one on before I could test it for-real.
Anyways It plays awesomely! Here are some crappy photos. I cleaned it before I snapped them, but it still looks dirty. (lint)

Posted: 1 hour ago



PITTSBURGH (AP) - Talk about a heart-stopping game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts.

Fifty-year-old Terry O'Neill of Pittsburgh says he was watching the game at a bar when he had a heart attack just seconds after Steelers player Jerome Bettis' fumble at the two-yard line late in the fourth quarter.
The play allowed the Colts to have a renewed chance at winning the game.

O'Neill says Bettis is his hero, and he was upset with the idea the player might have ended his career with an error.

"I wasn't upset that the Steelers might lose," O'Neill told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. "I was upset because I didn't want to see him end his career like that. A guy like that deserves better. I guess it was a little too much for me to handle."

Doctors are planning to implant a pacemaker in O'Neill to help control an irregular heartbeat along with prescribing him medication to deal with hypertension.

When asked how he was feeling, O'Neill told the Tribune-Review: "The Steelers won the game and I'm still alive, so I guess I'm doing pretty good."

From now on, O'Neill says he will probably just take it easy and watch future games at home.

The mailman finally brought the package I've been waiting for thelast 2 weeks for. I have a friend inthe Netherlands that picked these up for me and shot them across the pond. They are in PAL format and play blackand white and fuzzy on my TV DVD player, but play fine on my PC and laptop. I added the menus to give you the set lists. The Sodom DVD has a ton of songs on it.

Tankard - Fat, Ugly and Still (A)live

This is a full show from a club. Audio and video are very good.













Sodom - Lord of Depravity - Part I

This DVD has a ton of songs on it . It is very similar to the Destruction - Live Discharge DVD where the songs are from a bunch of different shows and videos as opposed to 1 concert. The audio is very good and the viedo is as well. Some venues look better than others though.

I want opinions about my new song, its kind of punkish, but I'm quite pleased with the overall sound . It was recorded on a zoom 1608 so bare that in mind - no millon dollar production here.

the songs called 'DO IT' - its about ending a crap relationship. it has vocals. Not many people have heard it - so give it a spin!!!

55,000 Customer IDs Stolen from Bahamas Hotel

Travellers who stayed at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas should keep a close eye on their bank statements in the months ahead. The hotel has admitted to an apparent database break-in in which personal information for 55,000 guests may have been stolen, including credit card and bank account numbers.

The resort said it was notifying affected customers in writing so that they can "take steps to protect themselves from possible identity fraud."

Kerzner International Ltd., which operates the 2,000-room "ocean-themed" resort on Paradise Island, reported the theft last week in a U.S. regulatory filing. An internal investigation revealed that the information had been stolen from a database of Atlantis customers.

The company said it couldn't discuss the matter further because the break-in is the subject of a criminal investigation.

The information stolen included names, addresses, credit card numbers, social security numbers and driver's license numbers and bank account numbers. Approximately 55,000 customers may have been affected, the resort company said.

Kerzner is offering affected customers a free credit monitoring service for one year. It hired an outside security company to help resolve the incident and has notified law enforcement officials in the Bahamas and the U.S., who are helping investigate.

As of Wednesday, the resort had no evidence that the stolen information has been used for fraud or identity theft, said Kerzner spokeswoman Lauren Snyder.

The authorities investigating the matter include the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Department of Justice, she said. As of Jan. 6, the resort had no evidence that the stolen information had been used for fraud or identity theft, it said.

Could I put a pice of plywood over the back of my amp to increase the bass and keep it sounding a bit thicker at high volumes or would it mess with the acusstics too much?

Hmm, actually I'd think any of them would be great

Hi guys. I was actually looking for some site or something that would help teach people some neat stage tricks. Like I know a few stage tricks, but you cant really learn how to do them without seriously destroying your guitar the first time if you dont know what your doing.

I LOVE Unearth, and some things they do are insane.

I want to learn how to do that trick where you flip your guitar and it goes around you and comes back pretty badly. Also I've seen guitarists just jump into the front of the crowd, and kinda half crowd surf/get rebounded back, its insane. You'd have to see the video's to know what I mean.

I have a Fender Squier that is really crappy, worth maybe $300 at most, and no one wants to buy it, I've tried endlessly to sell it but have had no luck. I was thinking of hooking up my metal strap locks to it and using it as a stage props practice guitar or to just screw around on.

What is your take on this guys? and does anyone know where/how to learn neat guitar tricks?

discuss

Thanks,

I found this today, it funny as hell:

I see you received the Stomp. How was the packing job? Hope everything got to you in one piece. Let me know how you like it.

can anyine identify this?

Ok so I just checked out Billy from Biohazard's new band, Suicide City.
The name alone should be a big giant red flag. GOD AWFUL. I guess he got tired of being a broke bastard and wanted to write some stuff that may get popluar real quick. Their look reminds me of Bleeding Through and all that garbage. The music, is just crap.

Suicidecity.com is their site, and their myspace link is on there for the music. Very big let down on this. I figure it'll make a lot of old school Bio fans pretty mad...
I'm not oldschool, but I'm pretty upset with it. Meh...

Hey all.

Im looking to get a quality Classical Guitar to replace my dying one. Ive been playing classical since I was 5 so I want something a fair bit better than begginer level. I was wondering if anyone hear owns/has played any of the dean Classicals. Id like to hear your opinions on them, and any other classicals if you like.

\m/

hi from spain....
i d like to know....what marc of pickup has this model ??( Dean ML Noir-XT, CBK )

has someone this guitar???... thanks

sorry for my english....

Howdy-

I'm looking to replace the pickups in my FBD ML... just grown a little tired of the scooped sound the Dimebucker seems to automatically give me. I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions for a high-output passive pickup with a better midrange. Active suggestions are welcome too, though it would mean more work on my part, which I hate!

Thanks in advance!

Well I just can't leave anything alone in my quest for tone so I took my new Epi Galaxy 10 amp apart and turned into a tone beast

I built a new cab 20" x 20" x 11-1/2" from 3/4" lumber core luan ply. I splined mitered corners for strength, made the speaker baffle and back plate from 1/2" luan plywood and covered the case and back in a buttery tolex. The front trim panel is 3/8" Baltic birch ply with an expanded metal grill over regular window screen sandwiched in between. Sort of a nice classic Vox look. I had retubed earlier with vintage Mullard 12ax7 and CBS 6L6GC with silicone dampers to keep things quiet. I scored an Eminence Legend 122 12" Alnico speaker and installed it with "T" nuts and machine screws. Man this thing has some sweet sweet tone now. The extra room in the cab and the lumber core construction make it very resonant as opposed to the dead sounding particle board in the old one. It weighs about the same as the old one too and it's at one and a half times the area: 1 cu.ft / 2.6 cu.ft.

I'm seriously considering ordering a L500 pickup but have heard it can take awhile to receive them. Can you tell me how long it takes?

P.S. They're probably on backorder cause dean is buying em up for the new dfh's

Check it out:

So, are we not getting a Black Gold Caddy afterall? No BG Caddy in the new pics, no BG Caddy listed on the electrics page (says V, ML & Z). Is the 1980 supposed to be the replacement?

Of course, I don't know why I'm asking...I won't be getting one anyway, unfortunately.

Yep, pickin' up my SlimeBumblebee at DOA!!!

nothing special, just wanted to see it in black

don't have PS, so i had to use paint, thus the rather shitty job, but still kinda gets the point across

sorry about size

We leave at 7:30 in the morning for our 4th Winter Namm show. This year looks to be one of the best considering all of the new models. I had no idea there were this many new models to choose from. There seem to be a lot of questions about the new models and I will do my best to get all of the info I can. We are staying at a different hotel this year and hopefully they will have internet connections. If so, I will post pics as soon as possible.

Well, I'm sure Brave Dave is going to put up some better pics in a few days but I wanted to throw what I have on here so far. There's a bunch of killer new stuff and man, do I wish I had more $$$. Today I only got a couple pics of some of the new stuff(pointies pretty much), but I'll have more tomorrow night! I apologize for the quality of a few of the pics; I'm no professional.

That said, here we go!

You have to see this in person! I don't even know how to describe it; it looks like the shape was cut out of a 140 year old rebel flag and glued to the face! It kicks arse!



This is even crazier than the Rebel. One day *sigh*



I think I just threw up in my mouth:




Dime's guitars were here again in force with the DOF, DFH, FBD, Camo, and proto Rust Razorback. Man, until you see them in person, you have no idea just how trashed they were. The routes for the Floyds are absolutely horrible (the FBD made me queezy) and while both have had the headstocks broken off, it looks like the FBDs led a much easier life than the DFH! I tried to get a pic of the DFH's homemade volute, but the angle was wrong and the camera focused on the background. I guess I just moved photographing the body. That bare patch above the strings isn't just bare, it's actually missing wood. It's deeeeeeeeeep. Lotsa miles on that one.





Cool inlays! I never noticed the production models were different:











Here's the story on these guitars. http://www.deanguitars.com/sixstringmp/ I think that's really cool, and some of those guys are amazingly artistically inclined!









This one's going to give me nightmares:







Wicked awesome. That Razorback up there behind the bike matches the paint and is flawless, like glass. Awesome.



And of course, the obligatory people pics! The Dean girls:



The man:



And the still super - hot Nancy Wilson, who seems to have gotten lost far, far away from the Epiphone booth. She can dream, right?

Sunday, 1am: Well, I'm alive. That's about all I can say! It's been fun and I wish I could hang around for Sunday but the Navy says I gotta go, so I gotta go. Probably a good idea that I came home though; I'm wearing the same clothes as yesterday and I smell like a rock star. After hitting up, oh let's see, Dean, Elliott, Buddy Blaze, Kerry King, and Vinnie (and that's all I can really remember), Randy (Bucketass) was kind enough to give me a fold out couch to sleep on! He, I, and John from Cheva were chillin all night. It was a freakin crazy time. Anyhow, on with the pics!

The nicest guy in the world and an even bigger guitar geek than me (and that's saying something)!



These things are amazingly playable and beyond freakin' loud. I really dig them. For the price, they're phenomenal.



I've heard some of you don't dig it, but in person, the V headstock really looks good on this thing! I personally think pretty much every frickin Dean ought to have one; I mean wasn't that the defining feature when they were new?



This is a super cool guitar. It don't get much simpler than this:



What a pimp suit, huh?



I'm a midget:



Not even Dean - related, but this is the Kent Armstrong and he's a silly bastard! Cool dude!



The Chopper's matching Razorback:



...and who's this sexy beast showing us the back of the neck?



These 2 aren't new but man, are they frackin beautiful up close:





"Wrote a song about it wanna hea it hea it go"



The only acoustic you can look mean while playing:



Yep, he's still kickin and I met him smoking. To think some people say cigarettes shorten your lifespan. Pshaw.



I feel bad for this dude because he was a 'featured artist' at this booth, but in actuality the thing was pretty cool and he tore it up. I had to go get a picture with a Keytar, though I'll regret it in the morning:



Of course we have a hotel pic of Randy:



The Dean party on Friday night:

If you don't know who this is I'll slap you:



Rudy Farking Schenker



THE infamous Buddy Blaze:



Fearless Leader:



From me to him: "AB rocks but Creed sucked ass." "I know."



What a lineup, huh?



And the Piece de Resistance:



Absolutely postively tore the fark up!!! Elmo wouldn't hold a beer in the picture. I tried.

After reading countless posts here and reading several different things on the two different companies websites that are selling bill lawrence pickups, I can't trust sending my money to either of them so i'm going to just purchase a seymour duncan dimebucker to replace my stock dean pickups. I have one in my dime stealth and am quite pleased with it. Although it will cost me more money, i already know it sounds badass.

Sorry to start another bill lawrence related topic.

P.S. Seriously i'm sorry about starting another one of these topics

I'm not sure I like this at all. As a matter of fact, I hate it! WTF is that big ass headstock doing on an EVO?

This is sooo funny but kinda gross the way he tells it

Steelers play Broncos in Denver at 3:00pm or 15:00hrs.

I'm picking Carolina and Pittsburgh.Being a Saints fan,I refuse to pull for the Panthers,so GO Pittsburgh!!!

My opinion is that its a stupid and childish but im not an expert on the subject so say more and give your opinion

I was just looking at the specs for the Explosion and it says Original Floyd. That's different from the rest of the Razorback's for the same price.

Errrm should I really have put these on my guitar?

Gauge 11-70

I noticed on the pics from namm that were posted ther was a dixie rebel that had a floyd,

But on the dean site its specs dont say anything about a floyd, and in the pic there isnt one



Am I the only one who noticed? Or is there a limited USA Dixies?

Seymour did the Dimebucker thing last year and the success has been phenomenal. Now, Megadeath's Dave Mustaine, a long time SH-4 JB model user, has collaborated with Seymour and the gang to create his new, upcoming signature series pickup set. Check this out: it's their first 9V active preamp, pickup system!!! Based on the SH-2 Jazz and SH-4 JB model pickups (Seymour's favorites), the Dave Mustaine Livewire set keeps all the tonal response and dynamic feel from these classics, but adds 25db worth of extra gain and extremely high headroom. In addition, these pickups are quiet due to all class A discrete circuitry. They look cool, too. Featuring unique black nickel plated tops comprised of nickel silver substrate material to minimize tonal colorization; the Mustaine’s really are striking. (We’ll have pictures coming soon.) So, all you Metal Heads out there, these are the pickups you’ve been waiting for!!! Available mid-February. Set includes two Mustaine humbuckers with all the necessary mounting hardware, including pots, jack and battery clip.

I am quickly getting the idea that a few upgrades will take my 2004 Korean Hardtail over the top.

1) Does anyone know what pickups are in this? Are the Dean pickups?

2) What have others replaced them with, I want to retain the warmth but clear it up. A tad more spakle. It has a unique tone that is different from my SD's and I want to exploit that.

3) I am thinking of upgrading the nut and it appears there are two choices here: graphite or bone. I have no idea what the tone consequeces are

4) A Tonepros bridge, has anyone found this to make a difference?


Thanks!

It's not a Dean, but best I could do on short notice. Blame those pesky folks at HardRadio - not me!

im trying to decide whether to buy a 79 V and fit a floyd rose and have it custom painted, or buy a floyded time capsule, the problem is im in university and so im always broke, so even tho the changes to the 79 will cost a lot to do, they will still work out cheaper than the time capsule, plus theres no way im going near the paint job on a time capsule. im hoping someone can give me details regarding how big a difference in quality there is between the 2, as the only usa models ive played, i havent had a good enough play with them to gather any opinion on them.
thanks in advance.

FIRST OFF..... KATE BECKINSALE IS SO HOT


ALOT BETTER THAN THE FIRST ONE

if it is a high gain amp i'd imagin it is going to be simular to a mesa or rivera .

(happy 1666 to me)

Found these and don't think they were posted yet.



Anybody have pics of the Explosion razor?

Does anybody have pics. of the explosion razor or even know if there was one at NAMM? Thanks in advance.

with the new razorbacks revealed, i was wondering which one out of the current and newly released ones you want the most. for me its either the Explosion or the Confed.

(i know most of us haven't seen real-life pics of the rebel, explosion and shards but just going off looks and specs)

anyone checked out a VOX Valvetronix amp?

it was a good night all up, the chicks were hot and the booze was plentiful. best part of the night was getting everyone to sing along to the chorus of pantera - walk....im sure we nearly blew the roof of my house.

but the fun didnt end when the party did (and this is where the story gets really good). there was about 6 of us left at about 4am so we went into a real estate that is in the process of been built. well one of my friends had bought along some stuff and made a bomb. he climbed up to the top of some concrete pillar and lit the fuse and we ran back a bit to observe it. well when it blew it was f**king massive, so big that a paddy-wagon that was patrolling the area saw it and sped up to our location. at this stage i was pretty out of it so i didnt bother running, but my other friends did and got busted...while trying to climb a fence.

when we all gathered the cops saw a brown patch on the ground and said "is that where the explosive was", we all said no and the cop responded "oh bullsh!t, i'm not an idiot"...so he made us all walk over to this patch and one of my friends (who was also pretty drunk) said "umm, its a soil patch dude".

after that we showed him where we really let the bomb off, then the cops proceeded to take our information. when the cop asked for my name i said it (which is Greg Norman - same as the golfer), and he looked at me and said "oi don't f**k with me, i've had to deal with people's sh!t all night long"....well after much argueing he finally accepted my name was greg norman, and then one of my other friends (who is black) walked over and the cop said "your name better not be tiger woods"

they said they could arrest us under some explosives act...but decided to let us off with a warning - and our names are in the suspect list so if anyone blows something up, the cops call us up and we have to have an alibi for where we were.

so all in all, i got more tanked than the polish calvary and nearly got arrested...a bloody good way to celebrate an 18th.

thanks for reading, cheers.

Once again I ask for your wisdom on this.
I need a really warm and clean humbucker pickup for a bluesy sound.
I know that this is very hard to achieve but I'm going for a Gilmour-ish sound.
What are your sugestions?

Hey all you lefties, I really want a lefty DFH CFH, and I was wandering if any of you guys would be interested in going in on a limited run.
We need 12 people....come on guys you know its awesome!
Post here if you're interested.

So my VISA-card has finally arrived
and I'm about to setup a PayPal account
for guitarpurchasing on eBay

the problem is, PayPal doesn't seem to verify my VISA
which is kinda strange since I activated the card 2 days ago.

They're also talking about some expanded use.

Help an eBay/PayPal newbie to set the account up and score some Deans
