Found this on Ultimate-Guitar.com, just thought that i would share. and lets keep all the negativity out of this thread, please.

What is it about the Dean guitars that you couldn’t find in a Fender or a Schecter?

Growing up, I never played a Dean. They were gone for a while because Dean wasn’t around. I had never played a Dean or really seen one because from where I lived, I never really got to see it. I had an Ibanez and B.C. Rich. Then I really liked Jackson and when we first started out, I was playing Jackson and stuff. I liked those guitars because I really liked the V and I loved Mustaine, and that was like his main guitar for a long time, the Jackson KV. I was all into that. Then Dime’s wife, Rita, who is a friend of ours, we did a Dime tribute on the anniversary and she let us borrow some of his old Washburn guitars. We played them and they sounded great and they played awesome. We were like, “Wow, these things play amazing!” She’s like, “Well, if you like the way the Washburns play, you should try out the Deans. They’re awesome.” So she got us each a Razorback, and we played them and really liked the necks.

As far as being like a metal guy and playing fast leads, the way the guitars are built, they’re just so easy to play. They’re really easy on your hands. The way the neck is bowed, like the semi-V kind of cut, it’s round on the neck but it’s got that kind of groove in it where it fits in your palm really nice. And the way the frets are, it’s just a really nice, high-quality guitar. They play great, they sound awesome, and I love the way they play. So it’s like ever since we tried them out, regardless that Dime played them and they’re his signature guitars, they’re just great guitars. It doesn’t have to be a Dime guitar, it could be just like a regular Dean guitar. Just the quality of their guitars and how much quality control they put into their product, I can see it and I can feel it when I play the guitar. I had never played one before and the first time I played them, I was sold. I was like, “These things play great.

well another music shop opened up in town and my guitar teacher is working there , so anways long story short they are going to be a genz benz dealer along with hamer , breedlove, ovation, and two other acoustic lines i forgot .

the genz benz el diablo 100 head and 2x12 g-flex combo .

the clean channle .

the clean was nice , i dont know exactly how to describe it . Just a very nice warm clean tone .

next there is sort of a crunch option. i forget the exact name of the option but it added a nice vintage sort of smooth overdrive . it wasn't vintage marshall style crunch but a nice useable tone .

the lead channle

it had a vintage and modern setting. the vintage setting leaves off from the "crunch" of the clean to fairly distored . this was more of a typical british marshall tone. I dont like crunch so this setting would be fairly useless to me .

the modern setting was more compressed and had much more gain . It was pretty cool , overall the amp has some simularities to other amps but is uniquly voiced on its own and i think this setting lets you know that . again i can't compare it totally to anything eles i have played . Even though compressed the amp seemed fairly dry . I could see how it would suit a metal player's needs very well and although the in between channles weren't of use to me i can apperciate thier practicality to other players needing a tone of versitlity .

overall i wasn't overly impressed with the genz benz head but i didn't go through the settings fully and comprehensivly so i dont think it is nessicarly fair to say it was bad or that there isn't a setting i dont like.


I was impressed with the 2x12 cab . It could produce a huge thick bass. The mids and highs were nice , the highs weren't shrill and the mids had a nice rich nature. This cab probably wouldn't sound good with a vintage amp but for you metal or rock guys i think the cab would shine with a high gain amp .



Anyways i am going to go back and talk to my teacher and the owner so see if they wont do some sound clips or a video demoing the amp because at one point before i got my mesa i was looking at the el diablo but i cound't find any sound clips or a whole lot of info on what they sounded like . So i'll get back to you guys on maybe getting some sound clips posted.

if you are looking for a genz benz el diablo 100 head , the 2x12 g-flex cab , or the tribal 60 head or cab let me know and i'll certainly get you in touch with thier shop .

Anyone has one or tried one?
Can someone review it please?

Could November be the month? Only the Shadow knows.......

Definitely different!

I was looking for a Floyd equiped guitar and I had the chance to buy this fiddle, a Washburn USA Custom Shop Stealth, great stuff

















and some more...











Now I can compare a USA Washburn to my USA Deans... and I must say, I like 'em both

One of the last ones before Dime's contract ran out (made March 2005).

Does the Cabinet change the sound of the head much?

thx

I know alot are planning to get the Dixie Rebel when it comes out, myself included. But alot of people get pretty uppity when they see that Confederate flag.
Just the other day, I was in the grocery store, wearing a Skynyrd baseball cap that has the Rebel flag superimposed in the letters, and people were looking at me like I was a Klansman or something. And this is in Orlando, which is geographically a Southern town, but not culturally. Here, you'll find 50 people with a Brooklyn accent before you find one with a Southern accent.
It's not my intention to turn turn this into a debate about the Civil War or s#%t like that, but people are are gonna think whatever they choose. I was just wondering what your thoughts were concerning this. Thanks.

Hey fellas! Just wondering if anyone here knows of a splitter box like the Morley AB box. I'm lookin' to split into two amps. Does the Morley use power supply? Anyway, I'm just lookin' if there is one that doesn't color/affect tone, or doesn't have footswitches, I just need jacks !

I have a USA Hardtail and my neck joint/heal is different from most USA Hardtails that i see. Is mine a custom order/option or what?

A friend of mine came down to my house on halloween and we jammed out a song and we're going to his uncle's recording studio to record it tomorrow. I'm so frippin psyched lol. It was amazing we both play guitar (both have the same name lol) and we just clicked.

It was my first time jamming with someone of my ability and damn it was cool. I love harmony now, we couldn't get enough of harmonising parts, it was so awesome.

I'll post the song when it's done...I'm kinda intimidated though cause all of ya'll are amazing players and in comparison I'm pretty s#%t but ah sure I'll give it a shot!

F#$% these guys kick so much a$$

I just started this new job, right. Being 18 and living at home means that I have a lot of money to throw around. I currently own a Washburn Dime V with the pickups I want... basically a sick guitar that doesn't really need any improving other than the name on the headstock. I play through a Behringer LX1200H head into a Laney 4x12 cab. I love both the amp and the cab, but I'm sure the amp could be EASILY upgraded.

Here's my predicament. I want many new toys... I would like to get a few new amps, some guitars, and some effects & rack gear (noise gate). I'm making really decent money for a kid fresh out of high school so the waiting game isn't really that bad for me.

I have set up these purchases:

Dean Razorback Explosion - roughly 1000$
Blacked out 79 MLF w/ Dimebucker - roughly 800$
ENGL Savage - roughly 1500$
Randall Warhead - roughly 500$

I don't know which I need first... I WAS thinking Razorback, then ENGL or Warhead and then the MLF but I'm not really sure anymore. I could really use a guitar with a floyd and I already own a V... Not too partial to the Z shape so I'm stuck with ML/Razorback. I like those a lot, though.

What do you guys think? I'll eventually be buying them all, I just need to know what order would work best.

Thanks

This should be fun =p

What gear do you hope to have a year from now guitar wise?


Me?

1 CFH
1 Line6 HD147 Head
1 4x12 Line6 cabinet
1 Line6 Floor pedal

Oh ya, finally! i moved to Kansas city 2 months ago, and i found some great players here, and today we had our first practice, were actually missing a singer for now, but we have 2 choices for one,
we dont have a name yet, but the leading idea is Iternity of Noting,
wat do u guys think of that name? any suggestions for another?

Nick Catanese aka the Evil Twin from Black Label Society.

I saw BLS last nite.

During In this River, Zakk was on keys and Nick was playing guitar and doing all the solos, on none other than a DEAN REBEL RAZORBACK !!!!!


BADASS !!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone going this Saturday?

forgive me if im way off base w/ this one but i was lookin at the dimebag wiki and I came across the following passage.

Quote:

Dimebag Wiki Several months before his death, Darrell ended his long relationship with Washburn guitars, and again became a Dean endorsee as Dean Guitars was bought and reopened by Dean Zelinsky.

Like I said, forgive me if im just in the dark on this one, but I thought Dean Z. was just officially a consultant and someone else actually owned the company?

edit:

whoops forgot to stick the link to the wiki I was lookin at in. My bad.

What's up with true bypass FX pedals, can anyone here tell a difference. I have yet to notice a difference, I always see the Wahs with true bypass and stuff. Any first hand experience here?

The guys are playing at The Meridian tonight. Dean has us hooked with on the guest list. Should be a great show. The Meridian is a nice room with a killer sound system. Look for pics in the next DOA newsletter on Sunday night.

I don't know if its just me, but kicking a friend out of your band is so hard. I feel like I betrayed them or something.

Is there any easy way to do this?

I really doubt it... but how do you guys handle this problem?

Ok. I know, really lame thread. But what do you expect from a guy whos home, bored on a Friday night???

Whats your guys myspaces'???? Here's mine...

This might be a stupid question but..

With a stereo rackmount unit, would it be possible to plug it both in front of the amp and in the loop?

Sorry for the noob-ness

OK guys, first one: FAKE or FIX.

This is an auction for what APPEARS to be a USA Rust Razorback. Paint looks real, but the guy says Rosewood fingerboard. Anyway, it was MAULED in shipping. 2.5" gash in tolex, and neck cracks both sides, top AND bottom. A break looks imminent, but that's just my opinion. IF it's real, someone possibly got this one for the price of a shipping claim, and perhaps he could be reasoned with and told that $2500.00 is absurd for something as BROKEN as thing is. Here's the link, I would really like to hear everyone's thoughts on it.

Also, I did a search for Dean Guitars USA and was BLOWN AWAY by the deals. Tons of colors, natural, red, green, in all shapes, HT, V, Z, ML, from 550 up, (Don't even think about it, that ML is MINE!!! ) a few nice ones for a grand or LESS! That green HT was just reduced to 1K as well. I don't think I have ever seen this many USA Deans on Ebay; perhaps a market for TC's is evolving. Some killer prices though, and Jody's got some nice inventory too. Has anyone ever tried an Exotiglass????

I found this site trying to find out what the $#%& EMO was.http://members.aol.com/Valdes379/EmoGame.html

I just love this band. Something for everyone here. If you like melody here it is, if you like singing here it is, if you like prog rock here it is, if you like death metal here it is, if you like folk music here it is. Ok that was enough.. Watch this and become a believer.

I know that you're supposed to be in a certain vibe or mood when you write original songs, but I haven't been able to write ANYTHING since I wrote my first 2 pieces for a band at this time last year. A ballad and a speed metal song, and they both just poured right out of me. I hardly needed to even put thought into it that's how they came out. But it's been so long, and I've gotten a lot better at playing but... nothin' comes out. Y'kno? Have any of you ever had this problem? How'd you deal with it?

just got back from music live, where i picked up a cd from one of the guys doing demos for hughes and kettnar. he was an awsome player! had so much feel and uniqueness to him, nice change from all the others doing demos (im sure the same guy just ran round to each stand and got there just before me changed his clothes and kept playing the same solo!) anyway this guy is called Thomas Blug, has anyone heard of him? he plays a white 61 start and gets some awsome sounds out of it! Micheal angelo was also there tearing it up as usual, so impressive to watch!

Just arrived from Ian, 1996 USA Z. Seymour Duncan PUPS, and Ebony fretboard. I don't have a scale but I'll bet this thing weights 12-13LBS which is fine by me because I prefer a heavy guitar. This must be normal for this model because I spoke to Jeepster about buying his 1996 Z and he commented about it weighing 13.5 Lbs. The finish on this thing is really cool. It color changes. It is Blue or green depending on which angle you look at it from. Enjoy the pics and let me know what you think.









LOOK AT ALL THIS frippin BUBBLE WRAP USED TO PACK THIS GUITAR



Seriously, thanks for all your efforts to assure that the guitar arrived safely.

Just bought one today and its shitting amazing!

The distortion is seriously heavy and gives an amazing recording sound.

Shitting piss its good!



Comes with a built in Eruption effect!

Sorry the ending is a bit s#%t, I don't really know how to play it, but you get the idea that it gives a pretty sexy recording sound.

What is your preference?

Mine is a 24 fret maple

what is the Difference between the Solo Head and the Roadster

i've been doing some shopping around and i was in a store recently that had...

Mesa double RectalFire Solo head ..... $1600
Mesa double RectalFire Roadster ....... $2400
Mesa Triple RectalFire Solo head ....... $1700

what is the diff? besides the triple has 3 channels and the double has 2.

Muchos Grass n ass

i didn't have time to try them at the time tho. i'm gonna go back latter for that...

tho the Roaster is worrying me with its row of 18 switches on the back...

Couple pics.....Look at that top row. Pardon the finger prints

i started a group for luthiers, and those interested in becoming one on myspace a while back, and has now got 200 members. if anyone on here would like to join here is the link. it will allow you to upload photos of your worksmanship, and post topics with other luthiers.

my dream is to have Dean Z join someday. here is the link

http://groups.myspace.com/GuitarCraft

ok who here has done this and is it actually worth looking into.....any descriptions of the difference of sound is also appreciated....Randy im looking in your direction

I'm pretty sure I know what the end result will look like, but I'm just wondering.

what is that? its looking good, so im thinking why not get a dean superstrat!

is it any good? or is it a bit of a POS?

So like I said in an earlier thread, Friday night we headlined the worst possible scenario. 3 EMO bands opened for us. All the little makup clad PU$$IES were there talking about love and wasted time. How the club owner thought about putting us with them is a question that will baffle me forever. We had to share a dressing room with one of the bands. I walked out 3 different times to laugh at the faggy chatter. Anyway here is a pictoral of the EMOs and us.

Here are the EMO's setting up after we put our backline up. We even let them use our drum set. They are already complaining that our stuff is in the way.

Brian, our bassist is happily sitting backstage drinking his non european mountainous mineral water. He was trying not to laugh at the post hippy love fest going on.

Here is an EMO guy I tried to get along with. He tried to be cool with us and although he was nice his attemps were for not.

Here are, Steve our singer left, and Matt our drummer right, standing in the hallway to the dressingroom trying to understand what the hell the guys in the next photo are talking about.

They were looking at a photo album of horses and talking about creating life or something.

Here is PJ. He is my friend who does my tattoos. He is ready to kill the little bastids, but the free beer and my White Gold are keeping him at bay.

The little EMOtional guy on the top of the screen is the singer of the band who went on before us. I think he might have been into DOODS.
This is John aka Miskimmin here on the Dean forum. He is flashing his badge to let everyone know he is with SILVERTUNG and not one of the EMOists.

Here John trys to come to grips with the EMO talk going on in the background.

Lastly there is ME. I am drowning my laughter and general EMO hating fellings in cold cold beer.

I would have posted live pics, but it would have been worthless. The little "Crying Game" babies didn't appreciate raw hard rock originals. That and I think when we started to play Walk they all left because the 30 or so folks who like us were ready to start linching EMO kids. Anyway that is all for now. I hope this next week is better for us.

Ok after a while of being on this board I FINALLY have some pics of my guitars. My Dean is currently at a friend's house but you all know what a DBD Tribute ML looks like anyways.

It was the Rocker 30 combo. I begged the wife, but she said NO. That amp will haunt my dreams till I buy it. I WILL OWN ONE OR I WILL FADE AWAY!!!! I can't say enough about it. I will go nuts thinking of it.

Picked up a set of Elitist pickups and pots a while back . Finally swapped them out in ny Red Quilt MIK Caddy. These are the real deal. USA made. Sound like a set of classic 57's with a little more bite. Gibson Customer service desribed them as a 490R and 490T set. No wonder the Elitist series are somewhat sought after in a cult sense.

I cannot stand the Gibson marketing strategy of Megalow Mart ala King of the Hill, but they do make some nice guitars and electronics here in the USA. Too bad they are A holes about controlling the market.

In light of the ERG fiasco, I did make some killer deals on the Trans green Z run, a czech korina V and a BBV. Probably wouldn't have picked them up if the deals were not so sweet. Thanks Gibson, for pushing me into buying more Deans.

Floatpimp

On the specs for the vox AD15VT and DA15 it says that the amp has a line/phone jack on the back. What does that mean?? Is it an input jack or an output jack? It sounds like it would be an output jack for headphones.

If so that sucks! I am wanting to get a small little amp I can move around but I want one with a input for guitar and input for other stuff. The kustom arrow 16 has two input jacks and that is what I am thinking but the Vox amps sound better and they have digital effects. I have a drum machine that would need to be clean while the guitar is distorted. And I also have a jamman wich would require Loop send and Loop return jacks.

So I guess the smaller vox amps don't have that. What is another good amp that has efx loop in/out jacks? Something around 15-30 watts.

Or is it possible to install a input jack that passes the distortion part and just goes clean? Because then I could use the Line jack on the vox to jamman and then from jamman to that clean input.

Why can't they just make amps with fracken EFX Loop in and out jacks!!!

So i have a problem with how to continue on an idea or riff . I'll get an idea or play a cool little riff but i dont know how to add to it and what i use rythem wise . Like i'll be playing something in A minor pentatonic or one of it's modes or some combination of both so how would i put chords to what i am doing and then how do i move to the next position? Is all that relavent to the certain note combination or riff i am playing ?

oh and one other thing , how do the shred teams harmonize ? Like AX7 or trivium do sometimes ? Is it just playing everything rised by the Fifth or the fourth or what ?

anyways that stuff is pissing me off because i'll try to record something and it either sounds empty or like crap . It feels like i am missing a true harmonic underpinning and majority of the time a lack of logical direction. I can listen to people and generally tell how they will continue on a theme or motive but i can't apply that to me personally, and also i am trying to become more expressive but in the end it all just sounds like crap shred .

hi guys,

if seen lots of people talking about OFR 's on guitars.
Could someone please explain to me what this is?
Also, are there any other variations of this part of the guitar?

Thanks, -L.J.

I no longer have a GNX3000, however I have the "Supermodels" programs on my laptop that I ripped off the disk that costs $60.00. If any of you want it I will send it to you as an attachment in an e-mail if you PM me. It has everything you need to get massive tone out of your GNX. The programs in this set make the original GNX sounds seem anorexic. It also has may different new amps to include Marshall Mode 4, Diezel amps and tons of stuff not on the GNX when you get it from the factory.

Hey guys, i am on the lookout for a smaller combo amp, i have decided to sell my peavey valveking 112 as its too big and the 50 watts are too much. so i am basically on the lookout for a combo amp that is about 30 watts and is ideal for playing the heaviest of metal!!

I would appreciate any of your ideas as i am scouring the internet at the minute and harmony central has lost my trust, but the people around here have ALL my trust!

So cheers guys!!

Hey does anyone know were i can get hold of the wavy rebel the Dixie's nice but ild prefer a wavy look. I cant seem to find one anyone online except the Standard dixie and Razorback

A good story on the game and the bands that like it is featured on the front page of today's WSJ.

Name all of the true guitar virtuosos, dead or alive, and name the band they are in. I like doing things like this.

For us old timers who remember good ole' Bruce Bolliet of Racer X and The Scream, here is a live solo during a Saint or Sinners (soon to be called The Scream) concert in 1990. Feast your brain on this!

Well I bought my FBD about a year ago as a collection piece
from Jon @ FunkyMunky (awesome service BTW!!). My 1ST intentions for this guitar was to hang it and admire it and
later on get another one to beat up and jam up. I stated
using this axe more and more these last couple of months
so tonight I changed the strings on it... what I've seen going through and setting her up is making me wonder if what I
bought is actually the quality I was actually hoping for... or
did I get a lemon?

For one, look at the pic below. Where the Floyds two post are theres a small metal plate there... is that normal ? the only other time I've seen this was when another Floyd unit needed to be installed for more support or to reinforce the existing post. Does any of your FBD's have this plate going accross it???




Two, when I flipped her over to remove the springs I notice something else that I really didn't like.... and gain, this is the 1st time I see something like this... Does your FBD have these two holes in it?? notice inside the holes you can see the screw that holds the pickup and the Floyd post.




I just want to know if anyone else has noticed this the FBD... are they all made like this? was mine a botched up guitar that just got put together and moved out??

I'd like to get some of your input on this... might be nothing, but it kinda bothers me.

I'm just wondering what tunings are preferred amongst the Dean brethren.

Personally, I like standard & 1/2 step down for playing classic rock & surf guitar & C# for playing heavy metal.

I'm not a fan of dropped tuning though.

What about you guys?

MAN.............Was just on ebay checkin out some deans,USA V WITH FLOYD ONE OF 5...............DROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!

Fu*kin ignorant Aussies?

No, fu*king The Village Voice, October 2006

If I were to write a review on a band, at least get the description a bit closer to home...all the guitars have the same name on the headstock, you fu*king twit, don't prim the quim if you've ne'er been laid...

Gibby, bow down....hands bound, head down, eyes closed, mouth wide open...

So I was thinking about blacking out my Caddy and dropping in some EMG 81's. Would it be a problem being that it's a 3 pickup? thanks d00d's.

HAHAHAHHAHA check out this bad boy!

Hey, help us decide on a new name:

this are some of the options for now, ill update as we get new ones//
thx!

Randy shipped my guitar FED-EX!!!

Lets hope it doesn't show up like this!

I got asked to give a guitar clinic at a primary school [grade 7, I believe in your terms] tomorrow.

Very looking forward to it, and got some stuff prepared, but anyone got any tips on what I should talk about?

I got guitars, amps and stompboxes covered, and yeah, I am bringing the Dean VX since we are gonna melt some faces given the fact that I bring along my co-guitarist.

So we play a little, explain a lot, let them play a bit, answer questions, typical stuff I reckon, but anyone got any more tips/hints on what to do/explain?

Too bad I have no Street Team package

For all you lovers of GREEN guitars. Apparently, this guy is ditching all his gear. $1100 for a USA HardTail....

Okay then, as I said before I wasn't really going ape about the performance of my Gibson Nighthawk, the overall feel of the guitar and the lacklustre sound made it clear that this wasn't what I am looking for.

So I have been checking out several options on what I could replace it with. For a while I was going for the Les Paul Junior but just a few days ago, somebody came up and went "Yo, I heard you're selling your Gibson, wanna trade?"

This is what he offered.





A well loved 1981 Ibanez Artist with killer mojo and 100% original. Needless to say it didn't take long to persuade me.

I'll be picking it up Saturday. (God let the days please go a little faster...)

Hey guys and gals, I have read in a few places on here that the Randall Cyclone is the same as the Warhead just minus the digital effects. Is this true?

Hello,

I'd like to try a 7 string, but I don't really want to get a super expensive one, yet at the same time, not a piece of s#%t. This would be my first exposure to 7 strings, so I don't know if it'll be just a novelty, or what. Your input on brands or particular models is appreciated.

Hey all,
Pretty soon I will be getting my first Dean...a DFH, and I was wondering what gauge strings come on the beast? The strings I generally use are Ernie Ball Super Slinky (pink) but if it will be easier I am willing to change. If not I'll just get my local guitar guy to do me a setup.

Thanks in advance.

i just realized that my acoustic(an ovation celebrity deluxe) has a v neck! i gues i just realized it cuz i played my first v neck (dfh) a few weeks ago. i was playing my acoustic today and it feels a lot like the neck on the dfh. its pretty cool. now i realize why i like the neck so much.

The other day I was walking through town and I saw a poster saying that MAB himself was coming to my little town in the south east corner of england. Tickets were ony £5 so I snapped one up.

Ive just got back and I can hardly beleive it, it was totally amazing. I mean, ive seen setev vai live before and this guy was right in that league.

I know some people will tell me reasons why one is better than the other but this show had no fancy planning or production, no light show. Just MAB, a guitar and an amp, not even any effects and no one was bored even for a second. His inbetween song stories and even Dean plugs kept everyone captivated.

I almost walked away with a new guitar but changed my mind at the last minute after remembering my credit card balance.

All in all a great show and was great to meet some guys from Bill Lewington, they confirmed for me that the Razor V with string thru I want so badly would indeed take an eternity to materialise.

What a great advert for Dean this night was.

THREE CHEERS!

So I really started practicing my sweeping and I have this problem that I can only sweep upwards and then end up alternate picking my way back to the high E.

Is there any real problem with this? I know the arpeggio's are supposed to be sweeped up and down, but I just can't do it. Is there anything too wrong with what I'm doing?

OH yaa! finally!
Its mine
Got it last saturday, and man, fuc* it awsome! i cant stop playing it!
Little review:
Channel 1 (classic gain): Great for rythem playing, nice crunch!
Channel 2 (Modern Gain): Amazing! super crunch, great for metal leads and other lead sh*t!
Clean: Just as the others, very nice..

Total: Very loud, great for metal/hard rock playing, amazing crunch!
The one bad thing is that its fuc*ing heavy! 30 kg!

I just downloaded the lates windows media player and it REFUSES to play any of the Metallica albums I have on there....interesting...

Got some more work today. The outline of the crossed V's on the bottom, one is my USA Pro and the other is my soon to come Single pup USA TC. I didn't have any of the shading on that done tonight because the elbow and the inside of the elbow are a real experience in pain. The two humbucker one is going to be cherry and the TC are going to be purple flame maple just like my actual guitars. I will get the rest of the shading done next in there next week. The eagle in the middle was touched up. The lightning bolts on the top were highlighted with white. The front and rear of the arm were shaded in with grey washed smoke. He also put "CFH" in smoke on the rear for me. There are some faces coming out of there too. Lots more to come, but I had to go out to dinner tonight so I have to finish later on in the month. Here are some photos of the progress.

I just ordered myself a Two-Tone from my guitar store! I can't wait! They say its going to take untill January though do to some sorta delay in shipping from the factory! I can't wait that long, I'm going to go insane!

Did Joe Satriani use for Hill of the Skull?

A little pron...86 Hamer Blitz, 'THE' RDZF, and "The Punisher" Hamer Standard, complete with licensing agreement from Marvel Comics









The Punisher has the ONLY top I've ever seen that can match the RDZF('cept maybe for Randy's old TCML), but unfortunately it seems that taking pictures at 130am in the dark with a flash doesn't go so well. I think the slight purple tint in the black on the Dean makes it show up better for some reason. Whatever!

Is anyone on the forum a patent attorney/agent, or know one that might be able to spare a few minutes to answer a couple of questions? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Much as the title says really.
This months total guitar has about 6 pages devoted to the razorback guitar, how it came about etc..
nothing nobody on here already doesnt know really, but still kinda nice to see

people have told me that marshalls aren't coming out very good this new era. that's why a lot of people want to get an old marshalls...

i hope this is not true because i'm planning on getting a new marshall because old ones are pretty expensive...

any opinions on today's marshalls?

OMG this picture is awesome. He never told me he had an ML, much less a pinkburst nor did he ever tell me he used to have bangs like that either.

i made a thread about this a while back, i went to the shop and took some pics and asked some questions. apparently it's a reissue of some sort, it has the shrimp stock, 24 frets, and seymour duncans. where can i find an msrp or some way to gauge the value? what is the actual model name/number of this guitar.

Hello, I am wondering if I will be able to replace the neck pickup ton epot for the EMG After Burner. I have EMG 81 and 85 in my guitar right now.

If I remove the tone pot for the neck pickup will it sound as if the knob was turned up all the way?? Or if I remove the tone pot will it sound like the tone is turned all the way down?

Is the EMG AB the same size of the tone pot? Will it fit in the same hole? Will it be able to use the knobs that I have on the other pots??

Also, will it work with the 18v mod?

just curious the kind of condition blems actually are having not seen one in person. ive heard people talk about buyin em here and there so if you got a pic.....

This band logo is beyond badass.

Thanks!!!!

Went down to hang with my buds in Alice in Chains and catch the show in Chicago last night. What an amazing show it was, just over 2 hours long and they played what seemed to be just about every song you could think of. Started with an electric set, then accoustic and finshed up with another electric set.
Mike and Jerry were playing Dean accoustic's during that portion of the show, thought you guys would like to see some pics.
Great show followed by a great aftershow party, Dean Z was as well as Charlie Benante.
enjoy a few pics, I'll post soe more on my site in a few days and will post a link when they are up. I will be photographing the entire show on Saturday night again.
Enjoy

Thanks.

Any one ever heard of the Architects? Formerly known as the Gadgets? I have been approached about doing a show or two with them in the new year. Some cds are coming to me to check out. Sposed to be a cult-like following for them in the midwest, especially. Clubs they've played are high on 'em. Two guitars, bass and drums. Three of them are brothers, I guess. From KC, I think?

I am a expierenced player but I never got in to spacifics with the wood. I know mahogony seems to be the most desired. I prefer it just because i like a heavier guitar rather than something light. And I know basswood makes the guitar have deeper lows and less highs. I'm sure I sound like a complete noob but would someone please break down the tone differences in wood. What's cheaper.. What's going to have stress cracks the easiest and what not. I am just curious. Thanks - Justin

Sustaining a memory
Guitarist slain onstage joins walk of fame
By JOHN AUSTIN
STAR-TELEGRAM STAFF WRITER


The Dallas Hard Rock Cafe added a star honoring slain guitar player "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott to its walk of fame in a ceremony Thursday night.

Abbott, along with his brother, drummer Vinnie Paul Abbott, were part of Pantera, one of the most acclaimed metal bands of the 1990s.

The brothers were performing with Damageplan, a band they formed after leaving Pantera, when Darrell Abbott was fatally shot onstage in Columbus, Ohio, on Dec. 8, 2004. He was 38.

The guitarist lived in Dalworthington Gardens at the time of his death and is buried in Arlington.

After the star unveiling, Vinnie Paul Abbott and Darrell's longtime companion, Rita Haney, presented the Dean guitar Darrell Abbott used on Pantera's "101 Proof" tour.

Last year the pair presented another guitar "Dime" had owned to the Hard Rock cafe in San Antonio, according to a report in the San Antonio Express-News.

Other musicians with stars in the Dallas walk of fame include Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Texas trio ZZ Top.

Anybody know?

An absolutely beautiful 79 transbraziliaburst MLF. The hottest thing I've ever laid eyes on. I've never posted pictures before though so if they dont' turn out.. well bear with me.

Even though it's not a Dean, I'm gonna post a pic of my '84 gibby explorer anyway!

Anyhoo, the Dean's floyd was pretty NOT parallel to the body. I decided I wanted to do everything myself with this baby, so I popped the back of the guitar and tightened the springs. Now, while I was doing this, I neglected to loosen the strings so I spent a good hour and a half adjusting both the spring and string tension. It's so simple to adjust that stuff I actually feel bad for the guys that go to techs for this.

And finally, this guitar will be blacked out very soon. A black original floyd, a dimarzio X2N, duncan full shred and black grover tuners will be on this baby as soon as they come in from ebay. I'll gladly post before/after pics for anyone that wants'em.

At last! I feel like I belong on the DEAN forum!

i searched and found notihing and it doesn't say on the site.

what pickups come in the Pro ML?

i've heard Dimarzios, i've heard Seymour Duncins...

can anyone help?

Muchos Grabass

So Im in the market this christmas for a new amp, its probably gonna be one of those, can anyone here compare? Ive never played either and I have no local shops that have them. Also im open to suggestions for amps $599 and under!

i just bought a used dean acoustic, the model number is pose nb, the o could possibly be a q. it has a spruce top, curly maple sides and back and not fretboard markers. i couldnt find any info on the guitar! anyone with any info on this one would be greatly appreciated![img][/img]

So. I want an EQ. I don't want to spend over 60 bucks, but I want a good eq pedal that sounds good. I can't decide between the DOD EQ or the Danelectro Fish & Chips EQ. I'll be running it with a Boss DS-1 Distortion, a Boss Super Chorus, and a Morley Bad Horsie 2.

So heres the deal, I moved to a new city a few months ago and at the new house we had a tree that was rediculously (dangerously) close to the house. So my folks had it cut down, and I later found out that it was an ash tree. So I was thinking of (trying) to make a guitar out of some of it, just for fun kinda thing. I was looking for some pointers on how start off. So far, my peices of wood (I have sections of wood about each 1 foot tall and 18 inches to two feet in diamter) so far look somewhat like tree trunks. So any pointers on getting started and choosing the right peice of wood would be awesome.

I hear more and more good stuff about those GLX pedals.
Are they any good, who has some actual experience with those??

And I am interested in a compression sustainer pedal and noisegate pedal [those GLX ones]. But what exactly do they do? And what is my gain if I get those?

I've seen these pickups on several of the Deans. The white gold cadi, Hardtails with gold hardware, like the purple flames. I think they are also on the white gold V with the single pup. I'm talking about the Gold covered buckers with the smooth covers, no holes for the pole adjustment screws. Does anyone know if all of these pups are the same brand/model between the different guitars that they come on? I assume these are import pups but if anyone knows otherwise, please clue me in on what they are exactly.
I have a white gold cadillac that has these pups and they actually sound quite good, me thinks anyway. Just looking for any info anyone in the know may have on them.

Thanks.

Its here... It the most beautiful thing I've ever held in my hands!

Jeepster is a god among mortal guitar players!

Ok... After about 5 - 10 minutes of trying to figure out how vintage HSC's even open ...There she was. I plugged her in to give her a go... The vintage super distortions sound bad ass!!! She sounds like Randy shipped her tuned to dropped Z, but they still sound awesome!

The guitar REALLY needs a pro set up. So I'm not gonna go much into how she plays and all (though she plays great as is.)

Once I get a hold of my sisters camera, porn WILL be posted. (And NOT the stuff from the "terrible night" thread. This will be STRICKLY vintage Dean porn! )

Randy, your the man for sticking with this through the lost money and all that #$%&#@.

i've seen this term used - i've seen pics of guitars with 'it's nice except for the saggy crotch...' etc

i've looked at the pictures and see no difference to any other ML - could someone please explain? thanks

Got one of these pedals at GC today. God Damn fellas. I am blown away by the sound out of this little box. I plugged it to a Crate Power Block and B-52 4X12 to test it out. Solid crunch and Doom in this pedal. If you havn't tried one you should. It comes with a power adapter and a nylon gig bag too.

Im buying a digital recorder off the bay...... yadda yadda

My JCM 900 Slx has a direct out, can I plug it directly into any digital recorder, if at all?

Is Brent Hinds of Mastodon playing in the Colony of Birchmen video?

I like it and wish I could have one.

has any body tryed an marshall avt half stack?

ok my local guitar shop got 3 new amps in and im goin there in few weeks but ive only got 1 hour in there so i need too know wich amp too try.

engl powerball
krank revolution
Rivera Knucklehead TRE 120 TOP

im only going there twice once too try it out another time too buy it

i what a heavy tone

The Soltero is such a beauty, I ws looking at the Dean webpage pics and started to notice similarities with my EVO body shape. So I put a pic of the Soltero right next to one of my EVO. The major differences were: (1) body shape where bass bout meets the neck; and (2) multiple body contours on the Soltero. Beyond that, there is an amazing similarity to the EVO body shape. Sorry, I am not quite adept enough to post side-by-side pics, but I am sure someone here on the BB can help. Just an observation, but an understandable one, I still view my EVO Premiums as top eschelon guitars regardles of price.

I don't know if anybody remember me getting a vintage MXR 10-band EQ ...
well, I did and it's been lying next to my other pedals to
gather dust because I didn't wanna fry the pedal with 230V (it's 110V only)

anyway ...

tonight I got the 230-110V transformer, hooked the pedal
up with my wah and my noisegate, plugged everything
into the RH100 and off I went.

It sounds good, but not great, but on the other hand
I only tried it to see if it worked .. I guess I've
got some dialing to do

any suggestions ?

Dunno if anyone gets into Dream Theater but someone posted the entirety of Live at Budokan on Google Video.

hey can anyone webcam me the fretboard fingering for B Deminished from the 2nd position?

Part of my homework for this week is to learn it (among many other chords this week) and my wrist is frackin killin me lol. Heres what im doin....




Am I doin it right?

Hey guys can any of you tell me what interval is used to get those weird kinda dissonant harmonies ála Slayer or Children Of Bodom? I know how to get sweet say major third harmonies or those egyptian kinda harmonies like Death but I'm really interested in coming up with some riffs using the Slayer kinda thing.

HELL YEA!!!! i just got a new a new had for my bday!! now it wont be much for ll u guys with mesas and stuff...but i have always had lil combo amps.....like the best combo amp i have had is a roland 15 cube. yea so this is a upgrade! its a crate blue voodoo 60. i bought it for 150. it sounds amazing compared to all the other lil amps i have had. i get my cab friday. its a marshall 1960 lead. so yea umm comments.....thanks

Played a show Friday and Saturday night. It was a decent weekend so I decided to use my earnings and finally get a practice amp. I went to GC with the intention on picking up a Marshall MG15 combo. I found one and was playing it and loving it, but out of the corner of my eye I spotted this little amp....



My friend who works there encouraged me to try it out. I couldn't believe that a little 5 watt amp was as loud as this. It is 5 watts Class A with one 12ax7 and an EL34 power tube. It has a 10" Celestion speaker. Controls are simple. Volume, Tone and Gain. Before I made my decision I compared it to the Epiphone Valve Junior because the Epi is less money, but after playing them both I see why it is cheaper. Not as nice sounding for sure. It was twice the price of the Marshall MG I tried but sounded much better in my opinion so I got the Crate. It isn't a real high gain amp, but when I got it home I ran a dist pedal into it and it crunched up real nice. It is great for the house which is what I wanted it for anyway. It does have a line out, so I am gonna take it to rehersal this week and run it into the PA for fun. The guys are gonna laugh for sure. Here are two more pics.

Nick Catenese of Black Label Society playing a Razorback live, he's still a Washburn guy all the way, but its cool seeing him ripping on the razorback up on stage

I KNEW it!

And finally, just me looking stupid.


So who's a bastard now!?!

Hi guys, was thinking on buying this Randall head but no randall dealer here in Estonia, Europe. so any of you have them? if anybody has so sound clips of this head please post`em
thanx

Here is a theoretical ... two different pup manufacturers both independently make a nickel covered pickup, with alnico 5 mags both wound to 12 K for example . Will the pups sound exactly or very close to the same? ... what variables could make them different? Clearly the magnet wire they both use would have to be nearly the same. So what is different? Maybe the bobbin material, but how different could that be? Baseplates? ...

how much different could two different humbuckers from two different manufactueres sound assuming they are both covered (or both uncovered) and wound to the same electrical resistance?

I know it's a strange question, but please indulge me if you have any ideas.

Thanx.

So I always buy DR's Dimebag 9-50 strings (I know the deal with string gauge and a floyd) and everything is always fine.
This time I change strings, my floyd is all messed up and needs adjusting. Isnt this not supposed to happen with the same gauge strings. It hadnt moved with the strings I replaced, so it was quite vexing.

I sorted it out no problems, just want to know if anyone else has had this happen. Bad batch of strings maybe?

I never get tired of people posting pics of their Deans in action, so I decided to return the favor again

Some 3 something years ago I played my first gig with dOMi at a place in Oslo called Gamla. Last saturday we once again had a show set up there, along with our friends in Supermonkey and MoccaCellar.

By the time we went on to finish off in a brutal manner, the place was packed with a very happy, enthusiastic and generous crowd who straight off the bat gave as much of themselves as we poured out on stage. A great show, thanks to all who showed up and made it an epic evening - see you next time, ROCK ON!

Hey guys. Does anyone here have any experience with Graph tech's saddles, nuts, string trees, or piezo system? I'm looking to upgrade my Strat due to some tuning issues. I'm also considering the Ghost piezo system since I'm sick of switching to acoustic guitars all the time at gigs. What are your opinions on the company and their products? Thanks

Since there is not a place anywhere near here to try out amps and such, i'm going to order from the internet.

USA Gibson SG standard in very good condition with original P90's in it usually go for.

I know that some of you own some Gibsons and would like your input on what I could possibly get out of one. I have a friend thats going to sell me one for very cheap, just curious about the turnover.

I looked at the Gibson forums and they suck at information. I figured someone here might know.

Sorry I have no pics at the moment, I dont have it in my possesion just yet, but Ill tell you that it is in very good condition, no cracks or repairs. Original everything.

I will get pics when i get it.

They are probably pretty cheap but if they do what they are suposed to do then that would be cool to get one.

I am gonna be in Tampa from tomorrow night till wednesday afternoon. Are there tours at Dean?

So yeah. Here's what I picked up today. Needless to say, this thing is bad to the bone. Huge low end on it, the "deep" control acts like a bass boost. It shakes your organs, the house, and is a seriously awesome feature. Its got tons of gain and a really menacing tone. The Rust razorback really sounds quite scary, with some great midrange bite.




Just the Dean kids huddled around....


The whole family....


Evil looking?...I think so!

Heres a fun one. Name the song with the worst vocals you can think of.....

Off the top of my head, the worst vocals in a song belong to Joe Satriani, and the song in question is "The phone call" on Flying in a blue dream. Whew...they are bad....

I need help from someone who has knowledge from both of these guitars.

Do they have the same neck profile and thickness? I've had a change to play the DOF only once and the neck felt extremely thick (probably because the action was so damn high). Didn't like it... Then I got my DBD less than a week ago and the neck feels great, thin and fast.

So the guestion is, is the DOF neck thicker or not... because if it is similiar to the DBD I might have to get the DOF...

what do you guys think about the Dimarzio Evo and Evo 2 pups ?

1.) Digital Music Corp GCX Audio Switcher
2.) Soundsculpture Switchblade 8
3.) Axess GRX-4

I want to ask anyone who has any experience with any of these units to please post some pros and cons!! I'm in the midst of changing my rig into a Midi system and I would like some input on these units so I can choose one!! The Switchblade I hear is very good, yet very $$$. The Axess GRX-4's are easy to link together and take up little space and are also affordable.

I'm thinking about the dmc GCX but I've heard rumors that it's not very transparent. I do however like the Ground control Pro alot more than the Axess floor units...

Anyone on here have one? I have one on the way and wanted to see/hear some examples of different settings.

This is Ben. He's made it through miles of convoys in Iraq and Kuwait with my bud Wes, and now he's gonna make the trip to Okinawa, Japan for 6 months. He's a little nervous about the flight, but I think its going to be alright, he's a tough kid.

Question for the Hamer buffs here

Is my Vector V around? I'm just curious if it's made it's way into some Hamer buffs collection. It was a nice guitar, just not for me (I'm a total Dean guy).

Here's the story behind it. Granted, this could be all B.S. invented to buy the dealer when I bought it.

It was evidently the first (or at least one of the very first) Vector V guitars ever made.

It was called 'red' but it was more like an opaque orange. I've never really seen a guitar that color. I would call it 'rich candy orange'. It had creme binding on the body but not on the headstock. It had 2 pups and a stop tailpiece.

Is it around?

Since we are all Dean players and a family here, I wanted to share this information to ya.

Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 18 or 19-year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your brand new Dean Guitar into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead ask you for a ride to another Dean Guitar Dealer. You agree and they get in the back seat.

On the way, they start having grox with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral grox on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen August 4th , 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, three times just yesterday, and very likely again this upcoming weekend as soon as I can buy some more wallets.


Dean Guitars, an addiction you can't afford to miss!

Yep, I got the “Moser Bastard V #3” and ran her through a trial run…killer! This guitar has enough Mojo to stop a charging Elephant
I’m still wood shedding with her but so far its unreal. The Booster on this thing is great. It really captures and exadurates the characteristics of each pickup…and that’s good, especially if you have THREE!

Specs: Wood - Black Limba (Korina)…Fretboard and headstock face - Ebony…Inlays - Large Abalone Diamonds…Pickups DiMarzio -Neck:Evolution, Middle: MoJo, Bridge:X2.



Two way switches Right to Left (from picture view):
1) Booster 2)Neck S/P 3)Middle S/P 4) Bridge S/P 5) Phase
Knobs:
1) Volume 2) Tone
Five way selector: Varitone
Six Way Rotary (Chicken Head knob) - Position:

Just recently has my noise gate crapped out on me. It was a boss NS-2. It was okay because of the mute feature but I'm looking to get a new noise gate but in rack form. I was wondering what would be a good rack noise gate that would clean out my wallet. I was looking at a ISP but I don't have 400 something bucks to be spending on a noise gate. Anyone have any suggestions?

acoustic guitars intonate perfectly, and electrics are a battle? I was playing my Taylors today and I got to thinking about how perfectly intonated they are. Of course, they have a fixed bridge and saddle. So why is it so hard to intonate an electric guitar?

Strum an A on an acoustic and it will usually sound great. Strum it on an electric and that G string will drive you nuts.

I have definitely found different brands of strings easier to intonate than others, so is that the answer? Is it the acoustic strings?

It's always puzzled me.

would it kill dean to give away a TC every now and then? or hell, give away a handful of those cheap baby dime from hell packages or something.


i think contests would be a great and inexpensive(compared to buying bigname artists) way to promote the company.

Hey I am getting a 30GB iPod, and I am wanting to get some new tunes to put on it.

My favorite band is Pantera. I don't like the bands that just completely scream thru out the whole song, although I do listen to Chidlren of Bodom and enjoy their music.

Got any suggestions?

Could you name a band then name a few of their best songs so I can listen to them and see if I like em.

I am also goning to put every episode of Trailer Park Boys on it

Hey dudes, I am deanless and trying to get my hands on a caddy. Now just flat out, Long story short, I have the chance to get my hands on a Time Capsule caddy (brand new) in the colours of Transparent Black, and Metalic Black. Here are 3 things I would like help on:


1. If someone could show me a metalic and transparent black guitar (so i can compare colours)

2. I would appreciate it if those caddy lovers out there to lemme know how the caddys play are they playable, do they play fast, all that shizznit.. So then I can decide if I really want one because I know they cost couple nickles .

3. Is it okay on this guitar to change the pickups? If I dont like the stock ones I will probably get some seymours on there.



Ps - These time caps are dual not triple humbuckers. And i have never played a caddy.. SO I really really need to knwo what kind of sound and playability I would be getting. So please make detailed answers.



- Thanks!

Not sure what any of these sound like, but i'm looking for good cleans and some high gain metal/hard rock tones.

Help.

i'm definatly going with my ears on this of course but i'm curious what yall might suggest.

as of now i play in a "Southern Rock" band. were gonna do 2 covers most likely...

"Saturday night Special" - Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Stone the Crow" - Down

the Lead Guitarist/Singer (and i agree) wants to spread our range to go everywhere from Cuntry, to Metal (Corrosion of Conformity and Down style Metal, not Pantera (damn) or Metallica style if that explains at all) s'all good so long as the music sounds/feels good.

anyways. i am wondering what kind of amps would really get me a good sound anywhere in this range. i don't care if its only good for some of what ive talked about i am open to suggestions.

if the amp can also be pushed into full blown Heavy Metal that would be a good plus IMO, cus i dont care what im playing every now and then i'm gonna push that Gain way up adn let it out!

what do yall think?

I stumbled on to the Guitar World website and noticed they had a forum. Someone had asked a question about the DFH/CFH and there was a reaction as if someone said 'washburn' on this forum. This and the Dodge forum are the only forums I've been on so I decided to check out ultimate-guitar's forum as well and there is the same general consensus there..........everyone seems to hate Deans. They say they're cheaply made with cheap parts, look like toys, dimebucker sucks (not made by dean, I know) but every post was littered with extremeley uneducated information that I didn't even want to begin to combat.

I was turned onto playing guitar by taking my daughter to DOA last year and was blown away by the hospitality that I started playing and now own 2 Deans. I love them but by no means claim to be educated on their quality versus other makers. I have noticed that alot of people that actually pick up a Dean get hooked and end up buying several. Please feel free to comment on anything I've said but my main questions to all of the more seasoned guitarists are......

were you ever a dean hater?
what drew you to deans and when?
do you play deans exclusevly?

I appreciate all comments.

It's a USA Baby V with the shrimpfork stock and a crazy paint job. Looks a little beat but not too bad. The tuners were removed in an attempt to read the serial number, which the seller isn't quite able to do. So....whatcha think? Looks like a lotta mojo to me.

Is there any better amp? Class A. Built like a Tank. THREE fricking knobs. Volume Gain and one tone.

They sound like great british amps and around here 15 watts is all anyone needs. I play clubs all of the time with my 50 watt Mesa and sound guys are screaming at me to turn down and the 2X12 50W Mesa is on 1.5 tops. I can't morally go lower than that. Please someone just totally cut my balls off. What is even funnier is that our guitar player Johnny has a 100W Marshall JCM800. The thing sound great at any volume, but man is that overkill for all the clubs we play.

Here is a picture of the beautiful little thing! GAAAAWWWWD I want one bad!!! It is so fricking cute!!

Hey guys, just restrung my 79 Dean MLF. It was buzzing a little before and now it's more persistant. The action DOES seem pretty low, which I like, but my B string is almost unplayable lol. Any help would be appreciated. It doesn't look like I can adjust the height of the strings from the floyd so is this a truss rod issue? if so plz explain the process cause I wanna do everything myself instead of shelling out dough for techs

not likely to be done but everynow and then a few things run thru my mind...

1) could a sand my neck into a V-neck profile?

2) would i be able to sand down the area at the neck join that my hand always runs into and prevents efficient use of the 21st and 22nd fret?

3) could i fix up the heel much?

the ideas run thru but im not likely to do any of it... well #2 may happen cus it is annoying... and #1 may happen if after i get my slime the C-neck of my current Guitar starts to bother me to much(which it already has ever since i tried the CFHDFH)

if anything i probably wont do it out of fear of messing it up... or at least not untill i have plenty of other guitars incase i mess up, or for while im in the process of messing the epiphone up...

pictures...


between the neck and the upper spike i just want to shave off a bit maybe a half inch in toward teh pickguard at top, not all the way to the back of the guitar.


see what i mean about the heel? i wonder if that would be worth smooting out a tad, mostly toward the top adn bottom not near teh middle... also notice the new Strap placement! MUCH Improved balance!!!!

what do yall think?

worked at guitar center...and a person came in there and said i will give u this gibson sg and $210 dolla for that angeled marshall 1960 lead cab which is $649.....what would u say??

Now I'm a pointy guy ALL the way. But I would love a USA Cantrell Sig. Soltero like THIS! I'd prolly black out the hardware to make it a little special, but this is one slick looking axe.

There pretty cheap. I wouldn't expect much from them, but does anyone know if there any good for the price??? Kinda want one as a toy.

Bought a Hardtail, used, a couple months back. Haven't had much time lately to play it as I've been working on another geet and also been busy with other things. When I got it, I didn't have to mess with the set-up much at all. Action was just a tad low and a very small tweek at the bridge took care of any fret buzz. I replaced the pups with SD's and cleaned it up within the first 3 or 4 days of getting it. Played it a little bit and it's been sitting for probably 6 - 8 weeks since as I've been busy with too many other things. So, 2 days ago I finally get it out to play and it's buzzing pretty good. Check the relief and it has changed like I have never seen before in my life. They always seem to do some changing when I get them from a different climate than down here in florida but I dont remember ever seeing a necks relief change this much, ever. I'm in Florida and I think the seller was up north in Wisconsin or Michigan. Anyway, the neck DEFINITELY needs a truss rod adjustment, more relief, as it has shifted to almost no relief since it has been sitting and I'm working on that patience requiring task right now.. Has anyone ever seen as signifigant a change as I am describing, that is, if you can get a sense of the situation from my poorly written description skills.

I guess what I'm asking is if any of you has had a guitar shipped from a different climate and seen a change in the neck relief that has been signifigant enough to actually surprise you?

i was wondering if you could just play guitar just using the head? i saw someone on you tube doing it?

I went to get my KORG AX1500G fixed (it kept cutting out when i was playing)

I digressed, and ended up trying a laney LV200 with a dean BG-V.

ok, the guitar was pretty nice! i liked the action, very low and no buzzing. felt the pickups were a bit weak, but what do you expect fo the price? It was strange playin a V after being so used to an ML, but it was kool none the less. The neck was nice n thin up the neck and got rounder and thicker as you went down. The inlays were great, i love the "BLACK GOLD" at the 12th fret

Oh yeah, it was GORGEOUS


The Laney! This is a great little amp! Well, not little but you know what i mean. 65 Watts and it was still decent at lowish volumes. It responded much better to dynnamis than i thought it would and cleaned up nicely when i turned the volume down. Clean was nice and fat, and the reverb was strangely good for a combo as im sure we are all pretty used to shitty reverb thrown in as a side thought but the amp designers. The bright swtich is a God send, i left it on. It just made the amp so much brighter and the highs were so much more pronounced.

Drive 1 was nice and crunchy, but i was more interested in drive 2. I was impressed, it had plenty of gain, but it was noisy and i didnt like that. It can do metal, but id kick in a OD pedal for solos. Did have a fairly nifty tone shaping switch on the distortion channels, made for a good solid metal tone. There was also an overall tone shaping switch, they call it VTS, whatever that is. There is a difference in the tone when engaged, but i found it to be quite subtle.

Having said that this is a hybrid amp, will it react in the same way to an overdrive in the same way that a normal tube amp does?

Best thing about the amp was the price, it was £190, which is about $350. For that kind of money, you are getting plenty of tone, and a footswitch!

Just to let you all know. We were officialy offered a recording contract this week. I can't go over the specifics of it for confidentiality reasons. There is still a whole lot to go over with this deal, but everything is working smoothly so far. Our lawyer has given us the thumbs up, so things are moving in the right direction for sure. I thank those of you who have supported our band up to this point. I will keep you posted as things come together.

I know it has been coverd a few times but this 1 is one of the best tbh

Just a quick question. What type of scales did Dime usually use in his solos?

The guitar store I work at is going out of business, so I took the opportunity to snap this up. Boss didn't cancel the order, came in last week, and it hit the sales floor for all of 5 minutes before I took it at his cost. Fender Aerodyne classic strat, soon to have a white Duncan JB in the bridge... Sorry for the poor pic quality, I used the built in webcam on my laptop!

Probably a retarded question, but I have an old sub box with two 12" kickers speakers inside. Would I be able to convert this to use these as cab speakers???

just finshed assembling it.plays like butter!!and an duncan to boot!!jackson kerry king v

USA Deans are Series 3 headstocks only?

Pro, TC, Exotic... all of em are #3

no Series 2?

except the lost 100s with their Series 1 BFH?

so there is NO way to get a USA with a Series 2 headstock.

(except the USA DFH Limited run they did was series 2 weren't they?)

Joe Perry's blog on the http://www.aeroforceone.com site says Ol' Mick has been jamming a lil with JOe and Joe has found out Mick is a Blues player. Hope they jam in Tampa Wednesday night. I have a real nice fan club seat

I'm used to just playing in standard and drop d every now and then but here lately i've been wanting to mess around with some different tunings. I was wondering if i were to put my guitar in C,G,C,F,A,D.. And I use 10g strings. Do I need 11's or are 10's fine for this tuning? And I'm pretty sure i'll have to change the intonation on my neck. If someone could give me some advice on this I would appriciate it. - Justin

are there any easy to find models with block inlays and 24 frets?

Had a blast this weekend at my lil' bro's annual birthday Jam in Austin.
One of my bro's friend's new band, LEGOWOOKIE, started the jam. They're pretty cool! Check 'em out on MySpace.




Then "deSoto" hit the stage! That's me, my lovely lady on bass, lil' bro on drums and his guitarist joining us for a few songs.






My Chafin Ember is my new number one! Hey, it is ROJO! And it cuts through the mix like nuttin' else!








Then I joined my bro's band, SMF, on the Demonator!










Everybody wanted to play the Demonator!






The open jam at the end was a true blast!!!







Now I can't wait for the callouses to go away on my bass playing fingers so I can feel my geet picks again!

It's cheap and local. I might pick it up if it's not a piece of garbage.

Has a floyd and what looks like a dimebucker... can anyone tell year/model?

Why does this have a gain boost?? And why does it have decibel levels and sweep/flat labels on the mid knobs??
I've never seen one like this, I am so confused!

Anyone have any suggestions for a good book for teaching beginers guitar ? I have a 8 year old niece who is looking to take up guitar and I wanted to find a decent book for her. Thanks in advance.

HERE THEY ARE!!! PICS!!! PLEASE COMMENT COZ IT TOOK ME ETERNITY TO GET THEM UPLOADED!!!

I've been looking for a cheap cab for my rhythm guitarist lately. I recently purchased a Peavey 5150 and I only have one cabinet to use. My rhythm guitarist is stuck using a combo amp, so I figured I wouild let her use my old head and find a cab for her to use it with.

Would this cab be any good for a Peavey 5150? Or should I stick with my 4x12 and find her something else, or even buy this one for her to use.

http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-CABINET-PEAVEY-W0QQAdIdZ7617630

If none of the above, can you help me find a cab? This one sparks my interest because it's local.

Thanks

Man, I'm really liking the shape of the Soltero. Wonder if Dean will come out with an import version of this guitar. I would love to get one sometime in the future.

Does anyone know if one can be put in an Avalanche?

I have been thinking about the USA/Custom shop guitar market lately. It seems like (for Dean) the custom options have been cut almost to nil, and their USA pricing has gone up dramatically. I know that Jackson, and a few other pointy manufacturers are raising prices as of Jan 1, (quite significantly) making the USA guitar market (IMHO) pretty nauseating and more difficult to afford.

I wish I understood it, but I don't. Its no wonder products are outsourced to save money and imports are becoming the "standard" here in the U.S. It's like buying Orange juice in Florida or Milk in Vermont... BUT WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!? With 1 call to Warmoth I can put together my own "Made in USA" for a FRACTION of a USA production model. Moser is already making imports that rival USA's, and I am not talking about cheaply made ones either... they have laminate neck-thru construction, as does BCR. How long before imports really are every bit as good as USA's for a cheaper price???

It's a shame, Made in USA USED to mean quality... Now we have sold our own Country out from underneath us in the name of profit. We may be the best Country in the World, but we aren't doing anything to keep it that way. Soon there will be a gold, rectangular sticker on the map United States saying...

"Made in China."

MEH!

Sorry.. couldn't resist. LOL

We've just created a myspace profile of the band I'm in. The band is only like 3 or 4 months old, so don't expect too much.

We've uploaded 2 demo takes (all Dean guitars ofcourse!!), which aren't the final takes, since we haven't have any vocals yet.. but just to give an impression of what we're about.

So check it out and add us if you have a myspace.. or leave a link right here and we'll add you!

www.myspace.com/asap1on1

thnx anyway!

Is this any good? I was thinking of getting it. Is there a dvd and a book, or just a dvd?

How much difference does a solid wood cab make???

I ask because I just got this idea while I was on the john.

I'm pretty satisfyed with my cab. Its a birch ply Randall cab with Celston custom 80 speakers. Its got pretty nice tone, but I got this idea to take out the guts and build a new housing for them out of solid birch, or maybe some other type of wood that would be good to use. Would the affect be worth the trouble??? Just wondering. Thanks.

I don't know if anybody here is familiar with death metal, Morbid Angel, or particularly Hate Eternal, but I think this guy just smokes. His rhythm guitar in HE is just unbelievable and I think his lead style is very tasteful and enjoyable. And the TONE! His leads are sooo smooth.

*EDIT* From an auction... "Check out the pictures and ask any questions you want. If you are not completely satisfied with the guitar, you can send it back to me and I will give you a full refund on the final auction price. Thank you for looking and good luck!"

They are awesome, it's good to see them recognized!

Do you guys know what era/ model of dean this is

Could someone explain to me exactly what separates a AA top from being a AAA or AAAA top? I dont really understand how they are rated because I've seen AA tops that smoke supposed AAAA tops. Thanks.

Alright guys, I'm a Tube-Noob and I wanna know EVERY thing there is to know. Just yesterday I dropped another $400 bucks on my Randall RM100 and under $400 remains to be paid. I'll prolly be getting it for Christmas!

Well this is my first tube amp and I'm looking for any/all tips to keep this thing sounding at its best. I also wanna know what kind of tubes are good for different tones, how tube amps work, ect. I just want to have a good basic knowledge on the $1300 piece or gear I'm gonna own.

So please, all you tube guys shed some light on anything and everything tube amp related.

-Iain

Hey guys, my amp is going to be here in a few days and I'm going to start getting some equipment to improve my tone. I've talked to a few people and these are some of the ideas I have got.

Jimmy says to get a Maxon OD 808, to tighten the tone on the 5150 and make it more crushing. I have not yet played the 5150, but if it's anything like the 6505 I played; the overdrive would really boost it that much. The tone is sick, but it could be tightened. Go or no go?

I have placed an order on a Boss NS-2. I'm paying more than I would from any of the dealers here and pretty damn close to what an ISP Decimator pedal would cost me, but the guys at the store always help me out when I'm there to purchase something so I got them to order me one. Should be here soon. Where does the noise gate go, in the loop?

My wah, an original crybaby, is finished. I got it for free from a friend from school because the activate switch was worn down or something... nothing a little wood glue at the top couldn't fix, but the range is really horrible, in my opinion. I was thinking of either getting the CFH wah or the Zakk Wylde, but I'm pretty sure I just want the one with the most range. I'd rather something that didn't color my tone. Which one should I check out, if not both?

I want to pick up a Digitech whammy, eventually. I know they're really not that practical, but I think some of the stuff they can do is pretty neat. (Can't wait to try those 2-octave jumps!) The only problem with those suckers is that they're extremely expensive... maybe I'll snag one if I can find one at the right price.

Jimmy was also pushing me in the direction of Celestion Vintage 30's. I know these are pretty much the most popular speakers for metal/rock/whatev, but the price tag kicks my ass. Is it really worth it to get the speakers up front, or should I save them for last? The cab currently has 4x Celestion GH12M, or something like that.

I was also thinking of getting an EQ box... maybe an MXR or something. Will the 5150 need it after the Maxon overdrive or will I be ok with just the EQ of the amp?

I recently made the purchase of speaker cable, so I will make sure not to use a guitar cable to connect my tube head with my cab. I heard this was bad and could destroy my equipment, so I made sure I had a speaker cable on hand when my grail comes in. Was it below 70 IQ type to use a guitar cable to connect my solid state head to my cab for almost a year?

I think that's about it for my newbie questions... I'll post more as they come up.

Thanks in advance.

I have a Dimebucker in my Two-Tone Razorback and I like the tone for the most part, but it seems too harsh. I don't know how to describe it other that than, almost sounds like a solid state amp that is cranked and is breaking up, but at low volumes. My amp is a tube, so I know that is not the case....any others have this problem? Any suggestions?

Got a Dean Palomino month ago. The guitar is very pretty, everything is fine (but for P90s ). But the guitar doesn't have any serial numbers, or marks about the manufacturer. So does anyone know, where Palominos are made: China or Korea. I was told, that they are Korean ones.
Thanks.

First off let me say I am new here. Yea I know I need to be in the newbies forum.

I was looking into getting a dean ML Noir Xt and was wondering about a couple things.

Does the neck feel chunky like a les paul or does it feel like a strat?
Is the floyd rose worth the trouble I hear that they are?
Also is the basswood any good or do I need to save up a little more for a better wood?


Thanks in advance

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone !!!!

I was just doing my weekly ebay browsing. It really amazes me how many sellers don't know the difference between a quilted top and a flame top. All you have to do is browse a single page worth on electric guitar listings and there is bound to be atleast one or two quilt top guitars listed as flame tops or flame tops listed as quilt tops. It's usually quilts listed as flames, though. That's a hell of alot of confused sellers when you add it all up.

How is this relevant? ... it's not I guess. Just really amazes me because the flame or quilt thing is just not all that difficult a concept.

Rant over.

I just picked up a Dean Chrome G resonator guitar at a used shop and love the sound and playability. The guitar is a little dusty and I wanted to know what anyone recommends to polish these guitars.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

Got your attention huh? Dirty minded individuals you are...

Anyway, the Blonde bombshell has just made it to california. All I can say is wow. This thing is sick. KILLER tone thanks to Randy and his sorcerer's ways with EMGs and propper wiring. The fit and finnish on it is amazing. Truly first class. Seems to me like there is larger fretwire on it than on my other USA's which is awesome if you ask me. The whole guitar is awesome and I think its my new main squeeze. I love floyds alot, but havin a USA Dean with the setup ease and versatility of a hardtail is extremely pleasing.

And now for the PORN!!!








Lastly, an "updated" family photo. Dont they all look happy together?

I'm done buying gear for a while I swear.......

Hello all im new here and i just bought my first dean on e-bay, actually wife got it for me and thats why i love her, please tell me what you think of her, thanks.

Which pup do you prefer? I have seen good and bad for both, just curious. I have a DFH coming with the B&B L-500XL and then a guitar being build that is going to have the BLUSA so I can compare them. But until then....

I'm in the mood for a guitar to pimp out,and I'm really interested in a black '79 and blacking it out\m/\m/
I've fallen in love with the sexiness of the V neck on my Razorback,and I was wondering if the '79 had a C or a V neck model.I love both,but I'm pretty much sold on the V,but I wouldn't mind having a C as well.Any info would be much appreciated.Thanks........-Dave

I was at a guitar shop the other day, and I pulled out a dean ML, the tag said "Platinum Series" yet I looked it up, and cant find anything on google or any search engines.

Its a seroisly nice dean, really easy to play,sounds great and looks amazing , and itd be my first dean, but I wanna find some background info on it first.

Anyone got some deets?
Thanks.

Won this on ebay and got it Monday. 2002 first run (thanks Chuck) TCML. The top on this one is amazing. My crappy camera and photography skills are no where good enough to capture its beauty. This thing is in near mint condition. I can't find a mark on it anywhere. The only difference between this one and a New one is.....about $1500 Enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think.


Near mint 2002 USA TCML with case and shipping $1,000

Guitar stand to hold new guitar $10.00

Buying a USA TC Dean for less than an import Razorback?

FVCKING PRICELESS!!!

it was sold

I don't know if you guys give a **** about it but I bought a new guitar yesterday: an Epiphone SG G-400 ... I like it a lot
I'll mainly use it downtuned to play some Sabbath and keep my MLF for the standard tuning
I'm planing on changing the bridge pup for a Gibson Iommi too - maybe for Xmas

anyway here's the pron

While I live in Canada, I have a USA shipping address and a recent change on eBay has stopped me from bidding on may items. eBay has made it so that no one can bid unless the seller has included the country in "Ships to." While I usually send the seller a note asking if it's OK to bid, I've never had anyone turn down the opportunity of another bidder raising the bid.

It seems many people just put down USA because it just doesn't occur to them to include Canadian bidders. The last guitar I got off eBay went from one other bidder at $400 to a sale of $1200 simply because I bid against him.

Grrr...

So think about it when putting things up on eBay.
30,000,000 other people may want to bid on your item.

Hi everyone, since there seem to be many knowledgeble people here thought I could ask a few questions:

1. Can anyone tell me what year the L-500 and later L-500XL came out?

ah, we'll start with that. I hope to post the info on my site to help others identify "bill lawrence" pickups and/or decide which one to purchase. Any help is appreciated. Cheers.

Oh, and please, don't give me the history of the world, lol, lets keep it simple

maybe this should be in a new thread? Sorry if there is already a thread for this, maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

(I posted this at the end of an OLD thread, so I'm not sure anyone will answer there, sorry for the re-post)

I didn't know that these were made, sounds interesting, anyone here try these? They would look cool on the "V-Wing"

The "Zebra" Takes You to a World of New Tones
ZEBRA strings came about from DR's efforts to create strings that would improve acoustic sounds as well as electric sounds of all acoustic/electric guitars. Many players agree that DR has successfully achieved this by winding phospher-bronze plated steel wire side-by-side with 8% nickel plated steel wire. Phospher-bronze brings out the acoustic tones of your guitar. Eight percent nickel plated steel is designed to increase the response of a piezo pickup in the bridge, or a magnetic pickup mounted in the soundhole, as well as the pickups in the archtop guitars.
The gauges are: 11, 15, 22, 30, 40, 50 medium/lite.

First off, I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of you and your families. Enjoy!

Has anyone ever tried the Golden Age humbuckers that Stew-Mac sells. They have a standard version around 9K and a "hot" version spec'd at 12K? I think they are all alnico V's and another take on the PAF's . I'm sure they are probably asian imports but I was just wondering if anyone has ever given them a try and what they thought?

Thanks

A couple of pics from our latest gig.
Contrary to what you might think, there WAS a crowd there, and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

What the title says : some pre-production tracks for the new album which we'll record in March 07.
All basic tracks recorded live, vocals overdubbed.

Or is the SH-13 pickup on this guitar not where it typically should be..?

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let you know that my band ENFORCER has finshed the recordings of our first demo. It will contain 5 songs and an intro:

1. Intro
2. Slam Circus
3. Killer On The Loose
4. Into The Ovens Of Hell
5. Stage Dive (Whiplash cover)
6. Beer Belly

The demo is called \"into the ovens of hell\" and is about 20 minutes long. I have not yet got the coverart, but when it's done it'll be professionally pressed and will be for sale for a small fee. For now you can listen to two songs at:

I've heard talk of this tour a few times on Sirius 27 Hard Attack. The tour is supposed to be early next year starting out I believe in February or March, but haven't heard any solid details. Talk about some sick ass guitar work in one show. I've only seen LOG at Ozzfest so I'm hoping for a House of Blues type venue, nothing too big.

If I hear anything else I'll let ya know or if anyone knows any more about this hook it up.

Just dropped a set of Bareknuckles Cold Sweats in my Exotic TC Z. I had to clear some wood in the neck pickup cavity (Not deep enough for pickup) but everything is fine now! They sound great and look great too. Replaced the creme pickuprings as well! Sorry for the crappy pic!



This is what it looked before with creme pickup rings and zebra duncans. (Didn't look that well, the Z has white binding and multiply, didn't go well with the creme.

I don't have any action shots. My parents came down from CT to hang for the holliday. Sorry about the quality of the photos. It was a hell of a show though.

I NEED MORE COWBELL IN THERE

Ey , so i've ordered a Razorback Explosion (my dealer called me today telling me i have to wait untill end of januari instead of the 2-3 days he said grr)

anyways , well i don't own a car , my bandmates go to the pracise place with a bike (so do I) .. so the case doesn't really help me for getting it around.

So are there any gigbags for the razorback? need extra padding to protect those spikes? ..or any gigbags you guys could recommend. thanks =)

Hi there. If anyone could help, it would be very apreciated.



Does anyone in here know which era guitar is this? It says USA in the headstock, but in the front, not back. The serial number is written down next to the 22nd fret like the Jacksons do, and it is 10027.
It has an original Floyd Rose, a Bill Lawrence pickup in the bridge and a Seymour in the neck. Look that the jack input isn´t on the top.
I was thinking of that 90ies era when the Dean owners changed.
Thank you in advance
Cheers!!

does anybody have tabs for cherokee cry by rebel meets rebel?? could anyone post them!?!?!? thanks

I've decided on either the Washburn ET Idol or the Razorback. I really want both but I dont have the money. Any input from those of you have have played either?

All these were taken while my wife beat my arse at Guitar Hero. Damn her. Damn her all to hell!!!!!!!!!

Well this is my first Dean guitar from my roommate(FORMULA73). He gave it to me for being a buddy and not a DOUCHEBAG.


Dean Korean Standard

Dag nammit...

Right now i'm in the process of saving up for a new amp...which will more than likely be either a B-52 combo or a Peavey Valveking 212. It will take a long time for me to save this money, because I don't have job.

Sooooooooo...i'm going to ask the most boring question that is asked time and time again...what is a decent distortion pedal? I'm looking for something very versatile and I hate the Metal Zone, so don't go there. Actually, don't even suggest Boss or Digitech...because i'm not very fond of their distortion boxes. Well actually, I do like the DS-1. But anyways, I was sort of looking at the Silver Dragon tube distortion, but I need to know how good it is. And, I want other suggestions. Hell, I might even get a DS-1 and then maybe a Maxon OD808 or an Ibanez Tube Screamer reissue, who knows what i'll end up with.

I'm not sure what to make of this one, I'm not digging it - but will give it some wacky wtf mojo action.

Hi guys,

Thinking about getting a V 79, cause I can't afford the Time Capsule. Is there really a huge difference? If so, what is it? The 79 I'm looking at is Korean made.

Also, does anyone know if the 79 is mahogany for both body and neck? That's a must for me.

Thanks a ton!!

w00t w00t!!!

I have an HK 30, and I love it. Somewhere close to me is a Hughes & Kettner Vortex Halfstack for VERY CHEAP. (Don't even think about it!)

Can anyone out there tell me how these sound? Are they worth their salt? There's no dealer near me for many-a-mile...

well im lookin at buying a 79 series origanllly i wanted the custom blueburst v,but im not so shure now with all the shipping and so on,to much hassel.but i was wondering is there any difference between the standard 79 series compared to the blackgold and sliverburst,as there is quite a bit of price difference.i do realise it has different hardware but anything else??

what make and model was dimes dean from hell guitar before it was painted??

Now, before I start yes I have checked www.guitarbt.com and no it's not that.

I'm after a backing track for A Tout Le Monde - awesome Megadeth track, which I've nailed today.

Only thing is, is that the song is played roughly half a step down - not exactly half a step down.

So not only is it a pain in the ass to get the tuning right, it's a pain in the ass to tune my Razor down for the right tuning and set it up right (I get the better sound out of this than my other geet). Also a pain in the ass is changing the pitch by a semitone, cos it's not quite standard E, it's a bit off.

So if anyone knows of a backing track they could link me to, I'd love them long time.

Or...just, like, thank them or something else that's not @#$%&$@.

how the Frikin hell do you save them

Not digging the wahs at all in this thing, but I got my Buddha-wah for that. So far I've got some great EVH-type stuff, poundcake, runaround, standing on top of the world and some early ones like somebody get me a doctor. Oh, and a pink floyd young lust that I nailed down. The effects and routing options are where the magic lives with this. I have two Marshall cabs but they don't seem to be the optimum set up with this head. What speakers do they put in the line 6 cabs?

I was wondering if it was Buddy Blaze in the pic and I also wanted to know what model his kramer is

the guys from down hosted a workshop at Tipitina's in NOLA

wish I could have been there

The Death of Metalcore
As funny as the video is,this scene IS dying.Even Howard Jones from Killswitch Engage admited that the metalcore genre is dying out.I admit,I really got hooked on the catchyness of hardcore and metalcore for a while,but it lost my interest.I am thankful that true metal and talent is prevailing stronger than it did 10 years ago when I first got into heavy rock.

Anyways,just thought you all would like the video.

i did this last night and just wanted to know what you dudes thought . the editing sucks on the line 6 rifftracker program so there are a couple of rough transitions . This is lighter so you metal guys may not dig it .

anyways any advise or harsh criticism is more then welcome.

Help me out here... What am I missing?
So I'm in my local G.C. where I had a chance to play the new/old reissue of the Clapton Blackie. I have a couple of friends of mine who work there and was thus able to sit down with it in their back office. This one will be sold for $22K. Now, if this was the actual Blackie that Clapton owned then I can see how it would fetch nearly $100K at auction. Although the reissue is an exact duplicate it is still only a carefully engineered clone of the original. I found it didn't play any better than my '73 Strat (which I have kept looking new) and it looked like something I dragged behind my car and left out to rust. I own two Gibson Custom Shop Historic reissues which were made to look like they just came off the line in 1957. I just don't see the value other than the limited production run of these beat-up look-a-likes. Am I missing something here?

Anyone using Boss pedals, and if so which ones?

anybody know what kind of guitar this is:


strange...

Anyone try the dod death metal pedal OR the second version
the DOD Death Metal FX86B

Hey, thought you guys might want to check this one out. I bought
this 79MLF new a couple of weeks ago for $499 cause some
guy on ebay had them priced wrong. Couldn't pass up the deal. I
was going through my big box of guitar and trem parts earlier and
I found a black floyd and a black Dean pickup I had bought a long
time ago just because they were dirt cheap.
Anyway, two hours and a new set of 10's later I made this. The trem
fit perfectly after changing the block, and after swaping the springs
and setting her up, she plays as good or better than my DFH.
I think I've got a new favorite Dean!

so i bought a mighty mite motherbucker and the diagram on their website is wrong so any help would be cool!!

I don't even care if this is a re-post. I don't care if you don't like Zakk.

Interesting looking guitar, some nice inlay and features. Never heard of them before.

http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/2006/Rees-Electric-Guitars-F7S-Studio-Guitar.html

Hi,
I have done a little research on this guitar and think it is a 1984 or 1985 Dean Baby ML. It is a blue burst in color, set neck, and in decent shape. I've heard that it is inconclusive whether it is USA made or not. Anyway, I'm sure you guys are familiar with these things and I was wondering how much it is worth, or how much they generally go for. I'm considering selling this guitar and didn't have any idea what I could get out of it. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry for my REALLY extended absense... But i'm back...

I have a budget of $420... And I'm thinking of getting an ML...


Here's one I like the look of...

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Dean-ML-Phantom-XT-Electric-Guitar?sku=519815


Any experience with it?

LP copy...














some guy named Jonn Boze from richmond virgina made it about 10 years ago.. it is one solid hunk of nice mahogony with flat top like a special but is bound like a custom. it has old school (from the 70's) double cremes.. great electronics shielded cavitys and, no s#%t.. it weighs almost 14 lbs


it was his first lp style guitar that he ever did... and it shows.. i hope to god he kept his day job

the guitar has some serious cosmetic issues..

-the bridge is off by a few millimeters so the groves for the bridge have been "compensated" LOL

-the MOP inlays look like he used a meat cleaver to install them..(pics)

-the inlays were are all differnt size and shapes like a three year old cut them out.. see pics..

needless to say this frankenstein looking mother foooker is a tone beast.. it intonates perfectly. has a really nice neck profile, crowned and polished frets and the action is low with no buzzes.. i was sick the next day when i saw i bought it but i am happily surprized i lucked out it wasn't unplayable.. i paid around 300 for it shipped (over all worth it)... it fits my personallity

Not much to look at but i have a big nub so so %$#@! off!!.. lol...

i might sent it to M ike to see if he can do anything with it..

i also grabbed this the same night..(i was hammered drankin grey goose)... I think its a Tokai from the 80's








havent got it yet but snagged it for $175 shipped.. i think i grabbed it for the kahler.. but it looks pretty cool i f it plays good i might keep it..

moral to the story: dont drunk n' ebay lol

this looks like a pretty good deal if ur looking at these geets.

Well guys I just secured a deal for an 79' MLF with Eddie..
Can't wait until I get my hands on this baby, my first Dean
ill get some pron up when it arrives, 'if i can put it down'...

on the back of my randall it has a switch "Gnd lift", Ground lift...
what does it do?
thx!

Hey dudes, the more I look at my 83' ML, the more I think it needs a refret when I finnish getting the parts for it.

Does anyone know how a refret is done? Not like I'm gonna try and do it myself, I just wanna know how they get the bastards out n stuff.

Also, about how much will it cost me???

He's leaving ESP? Is he clearing his stuff out of his ESP locker room?

A friend of a friend knows the tour manager for MEGADETH, he secretly told him that Dave was going to Dean Guitars..

No Clue if it's true...




Anyway, it makes since to me. Dean is top player in the Metal industry, and Dave is a pointy type of guy for sure!! He's already done the Jackson/ESP thing. Maybe a new revamped V or ML is in the works.....

I just can't see him going to Schecter or Gibson, they don't have pointy guitars.



I say, DO IT DEAN!

I'm building my version of the Fender 60th Anniversary Mexican Strat. They came with white guards and Tex Mex pickups, neither of which I care for. Mine has a chrome metal (heavy!) guard and standard Mexican Strat electronics. The body and neck are genuine Fender 60th Ann pieces from ebay (different sellers). I ended up parting out my Splattercaster and the body and neck paid for the pieces for this guitar, plus I kept the Fender tuners, bridge, neckplate and electronics. Basically I got this version of the 60th Ann for $200, which is what I paid for the Splattercaster.

Anyone else notice what they're giving away today?

Anyone else here like the BnB L-500XL more than the Dimebucker? If so, why? I want to see if there are others that feel the same way I do!

I was thinking of asking a Zakk OD MXR pedal and a noise supressor pedal
the only two pedals I can get easily here are the Rocktron Hush and the Boss NS2 (both for 80€) and NOT the decimator

so I just wanted to know which one dyou think does the job best between those two

PS: I know this has been discussed before but the winner always seemed to be the decimator and since I can't get my hands on one I thought I could ask once again

I thought I would start a thread so we can all see what your practice areas are like. Mine pics aren't the greatest quality, but here goes. We are still auditioning new drummers so no drum pics. Here is where Silvertung holds it down.

The system that keeps us all together at practice


Brian's practice rig


Steve's stuff

yep....pretty much what the subject says....

I needed a new 2X12 cab for practice and smaller stages, so I picked this up. Anyone here have one, or can tell me if it is any good? I only know from reviews.

Ever thought of putting a list together of the guitars/basses you've owned? I was just talking to The Lord Conqurer and it gave me the idea. Here is mine

I hate to ask this here, but I am getting an ulcer here lately. As some of you know, our drummer of 4 years has hung up his sticks. He said he has no intentions on becoming a "Rock Star", whatever the hell that is. We are not friggin' rock stars. Anyway, we have been looking for 6 weeks now, and everyone who has auditioned can't hang except for one guy who only wants to be part of our family when we sign our deal. Now don't get me wrong. We are past the "is this really going to happen?" stage so we aren't thinking about that, but we don't want some a$$hole out there with us. We may not have a choice though. The other option? There are a few really good drummers in the area with other groups. Would we be total A$$holes offering them a job? We would be screwing some other band over doing that. There are 2 bands in the area with amazing drummers and they are only doing the weekend gig thing, like we have for so many years. So the question is, under the circumstances is it wrong for us to poach a drummer from another group? I mean they are walking into a career by doing this.

Is there any word on the DR"s coming out anytime soon??????

We had this conversation here almost 2 years ago (I think). But the technology is moving along nicely so I think we'll see one of these at some time in the future.

Last night a read a whitepaper on flexible polymar display. Paper thin, rugged image display units that bend and curve. They do exist now, but the resolution is low and the contrast sucks. Give it time though.

Imagine what this technology could do for a guitar top. You want a curly maple top? Just load the image. Confederate top? No problem, load it up. Sunburst is too dark? Just adjust the color on it.

But would people imbrace this?? I would, but under 2 conditions. #1 It most NOT compromise the tone of the guitar in any way. #2 the resolution and image quality must be incredible (far beyond what's available today).

If those conditions are satisified, I'd love to have one.

Would this open up some new markets? I imagine so. There'd be designers specializing in guitar tops. Maybe you could buy the exotic wood collection of 20 tops for $50.

Along the same lines, I read about the digital Les Paul last night (it's been around for awhile). Do Gibson designers drink, then design products??? I was shocked, yes literally shocked that thier fancy ethernet Les Paul is NOT midi. Every PC in the world has a built in wavetable synth, MIDI guitar technology is readily available. Yet Gibson doesn't put MIDI on thier 'high tech' guitar. Incredible..

I've recently begun to jam again with an old
pal from work, and we've been talking about
getting more serious into it and start playing clubs
and so on.

The thing is ... we're playing rock,
and while I love my RH100, I feel that
it's more of a metal-amp. I don't wanna
get rid of it though, so I was thinking
about buying a JMP-1 preamp and use
the RH100 as a poweramp.

What do ya think about that ?

Thanks.

After many weeks of waiting and returning the first MLF that I recieved, I now have my first dean.

Here are some pics as it sit right now. But I will be swapping out the pickups for a set of 59/500XL, black pickup rings, the switch for a black one and black speed knobs right away. Then after the holidays I'll swap out the Floyd for an OFR and then replace the tuners for black ones.

Check it out.



















I can't wait to start shredding on this thing!!!

... simply a modern day, import (China or Korea) Cadillac X ? ...

Just got my Splawn Pro Stock in today. For those of you that don't know about these amps they are built by Scott Splawn by hand and they are basically a hotrodded Marshall capable of achieving tones from a Plexi all the way up to a hotrodded JCM-800. Mine is the one channel version and has 3 levels (gears) of gain. It is a master volume head and is rated at 100 watts. It also has a switch to run at half power. After I unboxed it I could tell right away that Scott builds top-notch amps with high end components. Transformers are Heyboer, he uses JJ caps, JJ preamp tubes, and mine came loaded with a quad of Sovtek KT88's. You can choose from various colors of tolex and enclosures but I opted for basic black with white piping and a clear lexan window. After I loaded the power tubes it fired right up and it stays true to it's claims on the tone. Gear 1 reminds you of a Plexi tone, gear 2 hits JCM-800 territory, & gear 3 is like a hotrodded JCM-800. It also has a solo boost that is triggered on the footswitch which is also of high quality. The amp is very responsive and clean even with the gain all the way up in gear 3 and has that typical Marshall mid-range grunt to it. By the time I got to plug in it was getting late so I didn't have a chance to crank it loud but I can tell that it wants to be run at higher volume. Since I could only play at low volumes I slammed the front end of it with an overdrive pedal from B.Y.O.C. which is a 808 knockoff and it sounded great. More to come once I get a chance to push it a little bit and get the volume cranked up but in the meantime here are some pics:
