Was it ever made in bolt on? because i saw it on the bay http://cgi.ebay.com/Washburn-model-Dime-332-Dimebag-Darrel_W0QQitemZ150177143545QQihZ005QQcategoryZ41435QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem and it didnt look real. I saw a knock off version of this on some chinese website, so is this an actual washy, or is someon getting ripped off? I also notice this one is paler.

what would look best in this guitar?

i start at the sawmill on monday..its wednesday now..

$23hr.


i dont know what im getting..could be a new long awaited bass amp, could be another long awaited bass as well, or even a new guitar.


i always thought an electric drum set and some headphones would be rad to fuck around on too...
i used to play when i was like 12 or something so maybe this is an option as well...hmmmmmmm


i dont know what im buying yet....but you'll have pron in about 1 to 2 months time..



i might be straying away from Dean..but i dont know yet, im keeping my options wide open...

anyone got any cool 4-6 string bass ideas?
preferably Rickenbacker, Peavey, Dean, Gibson....

im realllllly set on a Rickenbacker 4003, but if i see a five or six string that i like more...then my mind could be changed...

or guitar ideas?
ie. Dean, ESP, Gibson, Jackson, Ibanez, BC Rich...



at $23hr. and paying little for rent...the price of the guitar/bass/amp isnt really an issue...

Couple of upgrades from the Krank guys.

There's no real decent spec lists yet, but the site says they have 'bigger transformers', 6550 power tubes, and are now both rated at 120w, up from 100w.

On top of that, the Rev1 also has an active effects loop and a clean channel boost.

Cosmetically, they look the same... I presume these models will outright replace the existing ones.



Discuss...

Sadly the audience was really suckass at this gig, very bad promotion and not very much people atending....shame the footage is pretty cool if you like old school thrash metal!

Hey..
i really want a krank rev half stack but they just too expensive here cause they tax the sh*@ out of us here,
so i was just wondering if anyone can give me a link to a site that
sell these and can ship to south africa.

Hey, does anybody know what companys make a Left handed V w/ a setneck? i know there is one dean, but its bolt-on, which isnt my cup-o-tea. any ideas?

anyone know andthing about them? they look pretty sweet, but dont know anything about quality...

Anybody have the MXR Dime Distortion? Is it true they stopped production of them? Plus what are they like?
Thanks guys

Well, I don't know a whole lot about amps, but a I do know a little bit(differences between tube and solid state, more or less what brands are better than others, etc) but I'm having difficulties picking out a good amp.

Currently, I have a Line6 Spider III 30 watt amp. It can get some pretty cool tones but its just impractical, being digital. Now a friend recommended trying out a randall rg100g3, and I did so yesterday. I dont know if it was the guitar i was playing thru it or what but it didnt sound as extreme as the distortion on my crappy little spider III.

I've tried marshalls, randalls, fenders, and a bunch of other things, but I've yet to find something I really like. This weekend, I'm gonna bring my guitar to all the music places in the area, trying out amps.

Can anybody recommend something for me? I usually play metal, stuff like metallica and pantera, sometimes slayer. The one thing i hated the most about the randall was how weak palm muted strums sounded. liek theres no balls, not chuggy at all, if that helps
Thanks for the people who've taken time to read this as it's kinda long.

I'm doing a little project for Graphic Arts class, and I am wondering if anyone knows the year that the King V was officially released. The closest thing I could find was that it was originally designed for Robin Crosby in the 80's, but no specific year.

Any help would be appreciated.

What's the value of this guitar in decent condition say 8/10 ish ? Has 1 humbucker and a floyd rose.

I'm just looking for a ballpark figure, thanks!

I just got the Tremol-no for my RG3120FANT today. I am not a big trem fan, but for some reason the guitars I always want have trems. Go figure. Anyway, it only took me about 25 minutes to put it on and have everything back in tune. Now I can run hardtail, full float or dive only with the twist of a few knobs. It is totaly worth it for those of you who are sick of your Floyds. Best part is it is easily reversable if you get rid of the guitar and want to keep the unit. Here is a link to the web site
www.tremol-no.com

did those ever come in?

and anyone have the specs i know its 2 grand and its a USA

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EN7YHbQjwjo
Pat Metheny covering Norah Jones' hit "don't know why" and he does so using a baritone guitar that is tuned with a little twist. The whole guitar is tuned in a low A but his G string is tuned up a full octave and his B string is tuned down a full octave. and what kind of result does that yield?

Listen for yourself...

I've had my USA HardTail for two years now and it seems like the neck just won't stabilize and every 4 or so months I have to get it adjusted. It usually needs relief added. I had the frets leveled and polished and it was perfect for about 5 months then buzzzzz go the strings again. Pisses me off. I'ts in a humidity controlled room with the rest of the gang but this one just likes to change with the seasons where the others stay fairly stable year round. I know set necks are more prone to this than bolt on's but come on. I would just like to know if any others out there have experienced the same frustruation. My tech says that there is nothing wrong with it and that some are just more sensitive that others. Thanks -

Trying to decide. I'm going to be bidding on one of these VERY soon. Looking for a great sounding, bright chorus. I've narrowed it down to these 2 because I am a big fan of David Gilmour and Eric Johnson.

I can't believe this. This is one of the first bands that got me into death metal. I was lucky enough to meet vitek and talk to him for a bit when I saw them in portland. Such a huge loss of an amazingly talented drummer.....

RIP metal brother

-------------------------------------------------
Drummer Witold "Vitek" Kieltyka of the Polish extreme metal band DECAPITATED passed away in a Russian hospital from injuries sustained in a recent road collision. He was 23 years old.

Vitek and DECAPITATED singer Covan (real name: Adrian Kowanek) were hurt in an accident earlier in the week involving DECAPITATED's tour bus and a truck carrying wood in Gomel, on the Russia/Belarus border. Both musicians reportedly sustained serious head injuries in the collision, which is believed to have been the fault of the band's driver (although this has not yet been officially confirmed).

According to the Polish Internet portal Onet.pl, Vitek underwent trepanation, a form of surgery in which a hole is drilled or scraped into the skull, and was due to be transported to a hospital in Krakow, Poland for further treatment.

Covan's family released a statement yesterday (Thursday, November 1) that the vocalist's condition had improved. At the time, the vocalist was still said to be at a hospital in Novozybkov, Russia, where he and Vitek were taken following the accident.

Sitting here listening to The Impossibility of Reason. Forgot just how kick@ss this CD is. Powertrip.....Dehumanizing Process.....all the songs are killer on this disc. I like it a little better than the new one.

Wonder what this thing sounds/plays like

Anyone have experience with using them on stage? i heard they are really handy because you can change tunings with out changing guitar (Floyded Guitar)

Hey, i really need some help!! When my RB is tuned to D standard, The Strings feel fine!! But when i Tune to drop C there is a big difference!! But when im in E standard the strings feel fine and Drop D!!

I use 10's But i feel 11's are way too thick!! is there any brands that have 10.5's?? could someone help me find them or is there anything else i could do to solve the problem

Can i have your opionions and which is the best to Buy??

hey guys. For some reason I have gotten to bug to play the guitar again.

http://www.thedailyrock.com/2007/11/02/uncle-zakk-wylde-makes-a-kids-day/


yeaaah boyy!

I Know its a great group...
but is there any concrete reason to join the DOA if you're not in N. America?
Cause it would be a bitch to fly there every DOA meeting...
If there are any European DOA members I'd love to hear your tales.

so ive finnaly decided on getting the vmnt1 now comes the hard part what color? gears of war, metallic silver, or classic black

ahh what to do

I'm gonna buy something to subdue my G.A.S. until the Cadzilla and custom Caddy get here (next year ). I've got it narrowed down to these two-



http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Special-Edition-Spalted-Custom-Telecaster-Electric-Guitar?sku=513879

or



http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Les-Paul-Studio-Electric-Guitar-with-BFG-Electronics?sku=514556


I'm leaning towards the gibby- P90 & Burstbucker 3, big solid mahogany body, USA, case.... but I do love the spalted look on the tele(MIK), the duncans w/coil tap, and I've never owned a fender(guitar). I'm looking for something a little different sound wise... not so "heavy" like my other geets, but I don't want to go full on strat/tele twang.


Anyone have any input/advice/experience with these models?

anyone have a guitar with an onboard overdrive circuit replacing your tone knob's capacitor?

i'm thinking of getting the "black ice" passive overdrive.

http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_pickups/Components:_Black_Ice_overdrive.html

Anybody know where I could get one of these? There are none on Ebay......

I think I have reached the point where I can begin learning some of Dimebag's solos, but... I don't know where to start. Any ideas?

Sheeeee's hoooooome! And she's perfect! Everything I hoped for and more. Thanks Ben!

The Lollar Vintage Blonde Strat pups are really very niiiiice! And the Tone Pros Trem is sweet!

And it was great. The band played very well.

This isn't really related to dean guitars but hey,

are right handed pickups the same as left handed - basically can you use normal pickups on a left handed guitar if i were to upgrade?


Thanks

I remeber a long time ago you guys saying that there is only one place to get bill lawrence xl500l's from. where abouts would that be?

ok so today i was working on some "acoustic style" stuff on my FBD, now, and for some reason now when i let anything ring the bridge hums. and i dont know whats causing it, anybody know? it didnt do it untill about an hour ago

how is it?
has anyone used it?
does anyone own it?

go to ebay. type in "esp angel wing".

I'm used to playing metal riffs all down strokes, but recently I’ve bought an acoustic in the vain attempt to learn some old Scottish Irish folk songs. I live in Scotland and if you turn up to a party and someone mentions that you play guitar no-one give's a flying f~ck if you can play 230bpm sweep arpeggios or play Master of puppets start to finish, those bastards want to hear good old time drunken sing-along traditional folk tunes, I’m working on a few oldies along with a few Johnny cash tunes and I must admit it's great, my fingerpick skills have basically improved insanely overnight and my rhythm sounds way tighter than before. I never knew all this open chord stuff was so great to play before; I think I’ll stick with it.

I just got back from my local Luthier today who gave my USA HardTail its seasonal neck adjustment. You may have read my previous post regarding continual "normal" neck adjustments on my HT. At any rate, the truss rod is now at its most relaxed point without completly taking all tension out of it. The past few adjustments have addressed a constnat gradual back-bow problem. The neck is perfect now but if this back-bow trend continues then I'm screwed. I have e-mailed Dean just to give them a "heads up" as I may be sending this in should it continue. I still have three years left on the warranty so I guess I'm covered. However, I really don't know what you can do with a set neck with a back-bow problem which is beyond the truss limits. Has anyone out there had this problem? I'm hoping that this will stableize and any future adjustments would only involve a periodic tightening of the truss. That would be a nice change.

Sup guys, finally got the confimation of registration. I just go my Dean Dixie Rebel 3 weeks and it kicks f'in ass. And now im looking to upgrade my amp. I am looking for stage quality and at the same time not wanting to go over 700$. (I know that might be iffy) but from what i heard the Line6 Spider III 150HD is a great guitar and good for stage settings. I was wondering ya'll think about it if you have one or have played one before.

Thanks a bunch and getcha pull

Hey all you dean heads?
Wanted to voice my thanks to jon at funky for all the great deals..buying and trading! Cant wait for my #150 usa dfh!

Rock on
Synn

Had this thing for 2 years, needed serious repairs and so it's been locked away in my closet. A neck joint repair, new knobs, new pickups and a setup later... voila! Oh, and the local music store only had 1 black mounting ring, but I think I actually dig the cream now. Without further ado...

My Rig!

This time of year with the holidays slowly approaching, most people have something stuck in their mind as something nice they'd love to receive on the holidays. Whether it be a Guitar, or a new pickup, maybe a new amp something such as that.

I've really had my mind set on getting some decent pedals, but of course, since i've never had much experience with pedals before i could really use some help.

I have about 3 different pedals in mind i'd like to check out, and maybe get some info, and some soundclips of.

First of all i'd really like to own a EQ pedal, the one i've heard a lot of talk about is the Boss GE-7 EQ, which i believe is a 6 band EQ. if somebody could fill me in on this pedal, or possibly point me in another direction if this pedal isn't worthwhile.

Second one thats been bugging me is a Wah pedal. Theres two main ones i have in mind, they are the Zakk Wylde Wah, or The CFH Wah. If any owners of them could fill me in on how they sound or which one is better, it'd really help me out there.

Third would be an overdrive pedal which is basically where i get lost, i have no references, or a good idea of a good overdrive pedal out there.

if somebody could help me out here with all this pedal stuff, i'd really appreciate it.

I really recommend ordering from musicians friend. A couple of months ago, i ordered a red baby z. it was back ordered a couple of months, so iswitched to black. Well, black arrived in august, and the red one showed up on my doorstep last week. apparently, the person i talked to forgot to cancell the order until it had been shipped. since there had been no record of the guitar, they let me keep them both!

on the laaast page of the new stuff, page 130, the Carlino Identity is there!

Congrats Eddie!!

Ozzy and Zakk FTW!!!

So most of you know about Dethklok, and how they're on tour. So they came to UC Berkleley on friday, and it was the only show on the tour where you didn't have to be a student at the university the show was a to get in. So I show up an hour early to stand in line to get in (it was first come, first serve). Problem is, the venue holds about 600 people, and the line was about 200 yards long. So After an hour and a half of barely moving (due to UC police requiring everyone to go through a metal detector, and only bringing one) a lady comes outand says they've reached capacity. Now theres probably around 1000 angry metalheads. Not a pretty sight. So we start heading back to the car, and this lady from adultswim comes out, and walks up to me, my friend and ,my brother, and asks if we want to get in. Of course we say yes, and she tells us to wait. So she comes back out about 2 minutes later with VIP passes for us!!! It was so great, we skipped security and everything and were escorted right up to the front! Dethklok SLAYED, it was brutal and friggin hilarious. Their roadies and techs were dressed up with the black masks just like in the show. it was so cool. BUT, adult swim really messed up on this one. Dethklok needs to be playing bigger venues so people don't get denied entry. Still, I gotta say, great show, very creative, and one i'll never forget...

Today I had the pleasure of playing a Fender Yngwie Malmsteen signature model, an older early nineties model with the small headstock and I really liked how good those Dimarzio pickups sounded, I never heard a strat that could do high gain tones so well.


A 1991 Fender Malmsteen strat, similar to the one I played today.

I love to take my strats out for gigs but with my battle metal outfit they seem ill suited for the gig and I hate the way Strats look with a Humbucker put in. That Malmsteen I played looked every bit a Strat but it roared like a Gibson, unfortunately i don't have the money to buy it and I don't like the scalloped fingerboard.

So I'm planning to fit all three of my strats with HS3 pickups in the bridge position so I can rock out with the best of them and still maintaining the classic Strat look.


My question is do any of you have experience with this pickup and can you tell me to look out for?

What current hard rock/metal radio band is doing a Zeppelin cover???? What is the band and which song is it???

A buddy of mine heard it and can't remember and it's driving him crazy.

Yesterday this guy came in to trade his Randall XL cab wich is like 879 brand new before tax for some pedals or something. Luckily my manager didnt want to take the cab because it had his bands name spray painted on the back of it. I told him I was interested personally and if he wanted to sell it to keep me in mind. He gave me his number and said to give him a call the next day.

I called him today and he told me he would let it go for 200 bucks! Went to pick it up and everything went smoothly! This cab is amazing with the vintage 30s, just screams and has some great bottom end. The sound is extremely tight and doesnt have any rattle at all, doesnt fart out either. It does have some battle scars but nothing too bad. Ill try and get some pron tomorrow.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHq0i2Dwujg

someone asked for this a couple weeks back and i couldnt find a link..


found one tonight... enjoy

I was talking to one of my more tech-oriented buddies and was wondering why I got feedback at other people's houses but not in my own apartment. He basically told me that a lot of places, particularly the venues we normally play at, have 'dirty power' and that I should get a power conditioner for all my gear. Does anybody else use them? Or does everybody here just use surge protectors for all their s#%t?

Let's be honest here. All of us love to get our sound coming from Instruments with a pedigree. But are you guys actually ashamed about some of the instruments you own?

Do you find it hard for example to tell somebody that you get your sound because of a cheap pedal or a solid state amp?

In my own case no I am not ashamed of any of my instruments, yes I do own three Squier guitars, yes I do own an ESP LTD Horizon from their cheap line and I'm playing a lot on frankenstein instruments that I made myself. They work for me, so why should I be ashamed of them?

When I visit a guitar shop, my focus goes to the cheaper models because I know that even among them there might be one with a destinctive voice that I can employ. Even if the instrument in question has a plywood body that could still mean that the sum of its parts might harbor an interresting tone.

I used to be a guy who modified his guitars a lot but recently that has subsided and I try to coax tones I like from stock guitars making it a challenge to play them.

My backline is equally simple, I use a Boss Me30 processor because it gives my tones I can't get from a more modern unit. And my amp is a London City Bulldog head through a cheap Chinese made Marshall MG series 4x12 cabinet. The Bulldog basically is a copy of a Mesa Boogie Rectifyer head all tube and it rocks.

To others I may appear to be playing crappy guitars through a cheap tube amp but the fact is that I get the tone I want from that set up. Sure I'd love to own first rate stuff but the fact is that I can get what I want from what I own and why should I be ashamed of that?

is it any good?
im trying to decide between this and the zakk wylde

Recently got a randall v2,let me start out by saying its godly,it shakes my whole house and i love it,but there are a few things id like to fix or change.Im looking for more sustain,less feedback,and for some reason i can barely get pinch harmonics out of it...anyone have any idea what pedals i could get besides a noise reducer that could possibly enhance the sustain and or the pinch harmonics...or any equalizer suggestions to change? Or if any other suggestions are thought of they are also welcome,Thanks guys.

Ok, what i'm wondering is: what units are used to split the guitar signal?

The idea is: I'd like to split the guitar signal while recording so that one goes into the mic that mics the amp and the other signal would go D.I.

what would you reccomend?

O.K. so when did these go up on the acoustic page?

You guys still kicking or have you gone the way of the charvells?

just seen a pic of matt heafys black blacked out time capsule ml and imo it looks amazing, i cant afford a time capsule so has anyone got any decent pics of a black blacked out import 79 series ml? i really hope they look similar to heafys time capsule because im gassing for one really bad atm

Does anyone have one they would like to sell or does anyone know where i can get one?

Title says it all. Lookin for some feedback for now.

It's not finished and won't be for a while but here is a rough draft of it. The guitars were recorded from a Line6 toneport GX. The drums are really bad quality(recorded from a laptop from the 90's with a headset mic) and there is no bass or vocals yet. But it's still worth the listen.

Razorback dimeslime on the bay...seems funny that one is being sold but nobody on here knows what it looks like yet!!!

and just our luck, the guy selling didn't post a pic.

which of these is the better amp, and why?

i really dig how the Splawn goes from hot plexi, to hot Jcm, to super hot jcm. it's like 3 amps in 1. the SLO seems really sweet too though. since they're both in the vein of "hot rodded marshall" i was wondering which is considered the best, and for what reasons?

its almost time...well a few months away....but still....
i have a strange feeling that a few things will be announced....

1. an import version of the splittail
2. a razorback v db
3. some crazy cadillac models maybe a full blown run of the cadzilla
4. this is a snowballs chance in hell but i would be bouncing off the walls if they made a razorback z.



what would you wish they announce?

im trying to adjust the truss rod on my washburn dimeslime but it seems really stiff. im trying to loosen it (turn it counter-clockwise) but it gets so far then wont budge. it will turn clockwise but it sticks when i try and turn it the way i need it to go. I dont want to risk breaking it, so can anyone advise me on what do to? maybe its sticky because its never been altered before?

...but what am i looking at for quality concerns?
its a pro series and i dont know if thats good or bad..because price doesnt really matter..



anyone?

I walked into this music shop down where I'm going to school to pick up a slide and I notice there's a couple Orange combos sitting on the floor. I just figured it was one of those Crushes, the solid state stuff. I walk over and it's two Rocker 30'a. I was ultra excited, because I've been wanting to to try these and the AD series really bad.

I pick up an American strat with a humbucker in the bridge because I figured it was the closest thing they had that was close to my own guitars. I plug it in and try out the cleans first. Eh, they were pretty generic but that's not really the reason I was looking at this amp. It was just your usual Marshally clean. I hardly use cleans, so this wasn't an issue.

I switch it over to the dirty channel and start turning up the distortion little by little. There was almost nothing at first... I keep going, I check to see if I actually put it in the drive channel. Yeah, it was in the drive channel. Normally I wouldn't make a big deal out of this because it is a British amp you're supposed to crank to get that sound, but this amp is actually supposed to be known for it's preamp gain. I get it about 3/4 of the way up and there it is, it got heavy real quick.

This through me off a lot... I play with the gain knob a bit more and it goes from pretty much no gain to a lot real quick, no inbetween. It's either a mild crunch or saturated preamp gain. This isn't a good thing, at least I don't see. It comes off as not very versatile. But anyways, I leave it up and mess with the knobs a bit.

I got a tone that was pretty decent. I play a bit more. This amp is pretty familiar sounding actually. I notice it's not as high gain as Orange leads on. It's not like metal high gain, which is what it came across to me with Jim Root in all the Orange ads as of late. I play with it a bit more, really familiar sounding. I play a bit of ZZ Top, a couple of Van Halen riffs, stuff that is typically known with the British sound. I do a bit heavier stuff, it was enough gain for me and the hard rock stuff, but nothing real metallic. I think it was just barely hitting that typical high gain sound you hear now days. Kind of like a DSL level of gain.

It sounds pretty good. I like it. I don't like the price. But I like the amp. The thing that really bugs me is that the gain knob is pointless, there should be a switch that says "Barely Any Gain" and "Oh, Here's the Gain". But I will say this amp kicked ass at was the fact that you could roll the volume up and down with the volume control and it cleaned up really nice, more so than most amps.

Now... Here's the deal. I don't know how much the dude was originally wanting for the amps. He said he was phasing Orange out of his store because no one could buy them being a college town with a bunch of broke students. He was only wanting around $1,100 which is a good price for these amps used, let alone new. I told him I was interested and he let me take it into the back room and crank it. It sounded better, naturally as tubes tend to do that . Then I was curious about the gain knob on the other Rocker... So I take it in the back room and play both of them back to back, mess with the gain knobs. Same thing. I just figured it varied from amp to amp. Not the case, sadly. Oh well.

Like I said before, this amp sounded very familiar. It sounded very very similar to my Peavey Classic 30. I REALLY hate saying that as Orange is so reputable and I've wanted to love an Orange for the longest time. It was a fun amp, it was a good amp. But I didn't think it was anything too special, especially for the loot they want for it considering I got my Classic 30 for around $500ish. And I also hate saying that because I sound like another one of those people looking for cheap alternatives to high end gear.

I'd still love to try the AD and see if it's worth the money, though.

Hello out there in Dean country ,I've got an Ml Dime-O-Flame which i love,is there any specific breakdown to the Korean serial numbers?

Well after a 3 year search I finally got the Blue Dean Select Z to match the ML & V that I already own....won it tonight on eBay...I am pretty excited to be getting the missing guitar...porn to follow once I get the guitar.....here is the auction listing below!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120177993612

Thoughts? They have a 2x12 that looks mighty nice.

man what a good show. really intimate. myles broke out his dean resonator to play some robert johnson during the encore. sadly, he doesnt play z's anymore, hes moved to purely prs for electric guitar work.

another animal opened for them, for those of you that arent familiar with them, its basically godsmack minus sully, add another singer. fun little band. first time id ever seen someone playing a mcnaught in person. now i know what a 7 thousand dollar guitar looks like =p.

they had another band open very beginning. daughters of mara. these guys RIPPED s#%t UP.

http://www.myspace.com/daughtersofmara

theyve been playing together for only a year. they have submirsed's old guitarist and man, you metalheads will LOVE their stuff.

anyway, yeah if i could see alter bridge again i totally would. this new sound they have is great. i was REALLY surprised to see how many of the solos on the new album were myles' work.

OK my randall tube head is supposed to have 2 power amp tubes and 4 preamp tubes. Well it certainly has 2 power amp tubes but I can only see 3 preamp tubes in mine, what gives?

Same news flash that was on Blabbermouth last month...but whatever...still cool props

Anyone know who might want to sell their Warhead Combo Amp? I'm out of CA and can pay all cash 11-07-07

dead serious, honest to god, there is nothing more i want in the whole world right now than this guitar right here.

dude makes me want to go out and buy a pedal steel...

enjoy..

After trying many different amps searching for that raunchy tone that I need, I came to find the amp I was looking for. Man there were soooo many over the last few years that I have been through. I ended up choosing the Marshall 2266 Vintage Modern 50 watt head. I love metal as much as the next guy, and high gain amps really help achieve the sound in one box, but I have not been totally happy with any platform I have found yet. This amp seemd to pack the exact tone I was looking for. Now I do know that it doesn't have as much gain as I would like, but the tone platform is just what I needed. I plan on getting an OD pedal Sunday too. Probably a ZW-44 or a TS-9 I just love this amp. I put it on layaway today. After my show on Saturday night I'll have enough money to pick it up. I am really excited. I am going to be running it into my 6505 cab. I'll post some pron once I have it in my hands.

Worth it?

Does anyone know if Matt and Corey's new signature Dean guitars ever gonna be available??

This guitar, ever since I've ever owned it, has always had abnormally high string tension no matter what gauge or tuning I put on it. It just came back from a setup, so I know that's not it.

If it helps, the guitar is a Gibson Explorer and the trem is a Kahler 2330. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

OK here it is, for about 2 years I have been obsessed with Rob Barrets older Caddy (before his new ones)

Tiger eye with black hardware.

Can someone photoshop me a tiger eye v ( the 79 V style not RB or anything, the old school) with all black hardware.

I just want to see how sweet Rob Barrets old caddy would look in V format.

Id say it would be mu custom one day, if I can afford a USA seeing as how dean wont make this unless we got a limited run on the go.

And hell for fun, anyone down with V-Zilla too???

What would be a good tube amp (under $1000 preferably) For like slash, kiss, iron maiden, randy rhoads, van halen.... zz top type tones? I really dont have any idea as ive been really keen on solid state amps but have decided to take the plunge into tube territory as my tastes are changing.... ideas... suggestions and tips are all greatly helpful... thanks alot

anyone here running an extension cab with a warhead combo? if so what are you running?

GAS mean?

i got my rg75 combo and i play really loud in my basement
9 as loud as it will go)...id like to be able to do whatever i can to make the sound bigger and louder without maxing the volume on the amp and pedals and wrecking the speaker...

i have a little 15w behringer amp hooked up to it that makes it a very small bit loud and gives it a wider sound...

i can plug cabs into it to make a bigger louder sound without sacrificing my amp's existing speaker right?

ie. i can use the combo as a head instead right?

Badass!

does ML stand for anything?!?!

been thinking of getting one just because its tiny and cheap
i remeber seeing them when they first came out and they were like 300 bucks but there 99 on mf now, any had/have one? id prolly be running with with a 2x12 and my boss gt-8 just to have a portable rig when i go to jam with someone, what do you guys think about em?

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Crate-CPB150-PowerBlock-Stereo-Guitar-Amp?sku=487829V

this one caught my eye, for the price it might be worth a try, the body looks cool but the heastock is kinda off i think

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Switch-InnovoV-Signature-Limited-Edition-Electric-Guitar?sku=515684

Who's done it recently?

I have to make a trip next week and have been asked to play as well. I'm thinking of taking a Hardtail but haven't put a guitar on a plane in eons.

So what do you do? Gig bag? No case? Stuff it in the overhead? The Closet?

The Airline is American if that's of any help. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

So I'm thinking of getting an EQ to help shape my tones and generally make my amp sound a little better live

So I just want opinions, do you think I should go for the 10-band or the 6-band?

Just curious what you guys think about the Spider Line 6 3 150w Combo Amp and or if it is even worth getting. Looking for a metal sound / (dime,zakk)...etc

It's a gold/mahogany V!

I used to be the biggest EMG freak ever since I got my Gibson Explorer with'em 2 years ago. The problems of a 20 year old guitar forced me to lay it to rest in my closet for a very long while, and now... after all this time playing a '79 MLF with Dimarzios... I can't go back to it. Like, they sound nice and all, but damn... I actually wish I had bought an X2N/Super Distortion 2 now instead of the Zakk Wylde pickup set.

Anyone else here used to be a total active/EMG whore that went passive?

hi everyone, i just loaded some 11- 54 size strings on my Dime from hell guitar. i have it tuned in c#, my floyd was flaoting upwards a little so i tightend the claw at the back now making the floyd horizon with the body. i had to screw it in quite abit leaving about a 1 cm 1/2 space left between the spring claw and the body. is this ok? the neck is slightly bowed forward but it was like that when i took the old strings off, with no pressure. overall is this ok? it plays fine, my action is sweet as

Is Bill playing in this video? It's got a Gibson stlye headstock with cloud inlays.

I got this completely stripped Dean Custom 450 in a trade deal. I decided to make a project out of it and see how inexpensively I could put the thing together...

This is how I got it:



The finish is metallic grey, and is in pretty good shape. The neck on this guitar is pretty nice, and the set neck joint is pretty sweet.



The floyd route was a bit messed up. Someone drilled out the original post holes, and put in some odd-ball threaded inserts. They were totally the wrong inserts for a floyd, they were drilled too deep, and they were not in there straight. They were a bear to get out without hosing up the guitar completely... Check out the crappy epoxy around the post inserts... ugh!



First order of business was to carefully pull out the old inserts. Since I did not have the posts that fit the inserts, and they were epoxied in there too deeply, it required a bit of carefull surgery to remove the old posts. The we had to epoxy dowel pieces into the holes to get them to the correct depth for the proper floyd inserts. Then we had to expoxy the new inserts in place... I also needed to route out the floyd cavity a bit...



Next I added some nifty purple tuners I had laying around. They actually look pretty cool on this headstock.



Then I cleaned up the floyd route a bit more, and touched up the black paint inside the cavity. I added a new licensed floyd rose speedloader I got from guitar fetish. Pretty nice. cost $65.



There is what I have so far. A couple of pickups off the surplus shelf from my shop... some chrome rings... they will do for now. If this guitar turns out killer, I will put in black rings and change the neck pup to a black one...



This weekend I will install the pots, selector switch, and wire it up. So far so good...

I just got the new guitar world, and on the disk there is the Betcha cant play this section, this month its Karl Sanders.... well i know hes a good guitarist and i like nile and everything.. but the lick he played sounded like COMPLETE s#%t. granted its a LITTLE tricky. the overall tone was HORRIBLE!!

OK just got back from GC land. Here is the newest edition to my rig! Yes it is that purple tolex, but my camera sucks... The sound is to die for. It's everything I have been looking for and nothing that I don't need. Also, this amp is SOOOOOOO quiet, even with the gain maxed out!

Well...

After realizing that i couldnt really play that valve junior easilly in the apartment im in. i decided to return it. glad i did... i LOVE what i exchanged it for..

a vox ad30vt-xl combo. this is the high gain version of the valvetronics series and it sounds amazing to my ears. it also has power brake integrated on the back of the combo. EXACTLY what i needed for my apartment.

What METAL bands use Orange amps? Any? Surely there are some Doom/Stoner bands that play/played them.

2003 model. Had it for a couple of months but put off taking any pics until today. Dig the top on this thing
It is a mile deep and moves with the guitar. Absolutely beautiful!!My camera and photography skills are no where good enough for her

The back is nearly as beautiful as the front.

The guitar was customized by our very own Bucketass.

I believe in big pictures....and lots of them.

I'm new here but I'm not, I've came and looked at this place for a bout two years, just looked and laughed, and whatever, but I've decided to join.So, hello.

The specs here sure are different than those on the home page.Dimarzio in the neck and Dimebucker in the bridge?Maybe it's a screw up on GC's end.If it isn't, it's a good deal.

I'm playing a new marshall combo amp 250 DFX and have added my Boss Metal Zone through the clean channel. Would a MXR 10 Band Eq make a difference in my sound or is that just a waste of equipment because of the Metal zone? Anyone?

Hey Guys,

Take care, and have a good weekend, Everybody!

RAZOR777

I just went and picked up a Furman M-8D Power Conditioner, and a Road Runner case. I put the Conditioner in, and I won't be able to put the amp in until later (it's at our practice place), but the slot looks awfully skinny.. maybe it'll fit and it's just my eyes.

The only thing I really have to hook up to my conditioner is my amp head. But I can put anything in it right?? Like.. the power adapter for my pedal board etc?? I dont know crap about this thing, other than I needed to get one to keep clean power through my head.

I've been working it out for a couple O hours and I'm diggin it.

im going to setp up my TLT its in C standard now and it has 12-56 guage on it, do you think that guage will be fine for D standard as well since i have an extra pack of those strings

xxl500 BL usa pickup, anyone heard or know anything about an xxl500 i only know of the xl500l

Alright so I have a razorback import.

Well I have watched the Tom Maxwell from HELLYEAH 'interview' a couple times. And he mentions the un-finished neck on his Soltero and how it allows him to keep moving up and down then neck without getting 'stuck'. Question is, my hands tend to sweat more then usual so I find myself getting 'stuck' I guess you could say.

Would you recommend getting a "professional" sand job.....lol...seriously though. Or is there like a polish that will aid in the sticky ness?

anyone know the deal with how dean sets up the deals with there artists


do they get so many guitars a year or do they get them on request

What can i use to stain a fretboard to make it darker

If I am looking to buy an acoustic which I will primarily be using to do fingerstyle playing, is there anything different I should be looking for? Or are all acoustics in a specific price range just as good for fingerstyle as another?

So ive been contemplating selling my warhead for a small tube amp that can really do the saturated tube thing they do best... u know classic sabbath and rhoads? Whats a good amp for this Peavey XXX? Carvin amps? Laney amps? Im open to suggestions

My first LP... one of those "Guitar of the Week" deals... LP Studio w/ P90 neck. I'm really diggin' the P90...

On with the pron









Look at that neck/body angle... looks weird everytime I see it...



It's a great guitar, sounds different than anything else I have. The P90 is awesome, but noisy. It's not as heavy as I thought it would be, but it's got killer sustain. Will be better after I get it set up properly.

Also, bought an Explorer a few months back, but never posted it (I know, I'm a slacker). Got it for $899 w/HSC from GC because there's a big scratch on the back. Here it is after a few mods... SD Blackouts, black tonepros, black tuners, blacker than the blackest bl... oh, wait. It's cherry

Anybody tried this thing? I'm seriously lookin' to replace my DSL 401. Hearing good things about it. Any experience/comments?

Yeah you guessed it, we're voting

So ... both players are actually very similar
and played the same scene in the 80's.

But who do you prefer ?

there are only 24 being made so get your name down before its too late!

Here are picture of the famous "JeepFlag" ML that was painted by Jeepster and I was lucky enough to acquire! I love this guitar and will post more pictures once the Hardware and Pup conversion is completed.



















This truly shows what a talent that Jeepster really is!!! Thanks again Ron!!!!

I have an FBD tribute guitar and my band was practicing yesterday and just out of nowhere my treble pickup went half volume with like half distortion. I switch to mid it sounds fine i switch to bass it sounds fine.

Also when i play on the clean, switching to bass pickup has been messed up for me for a while now but it wasn't a big deal to me. Now using the treble, that is also screwed up on the clean channel as well.

I don't know what to do in a situation like this so i came here first. Just in case theres any little fixes that i could do on my own or if i would have to straight up get new pickups installed.

I hope I'm using the guitar terms right, heh.

I feel like I have outgrown my Boss Metal Zone. Anyone play through the Digitech XMM Metal Master? Just curious of the Metal quality / sound?

I'm planning on selling a Jackson Soloist SL3 and might need to ship it to the lucky bidder. I would rather not ship it at all; would hate for anything to happen to her. Any suggestions for shipping, yes there is a custom case she would be traveling in. Thanks guys.

So Friday I was at the local GC because I had to go to the doctor that was close to the GC. So I get there, look at some effects, check out some Deans, mess with a Jackson RR3, then I get to a certain B.C. Rich neck-thru V that I liked. It had an OFR, 81/85 pups, an ebony fretboard, abalone binding, and black hardware for $749. It also said "Deluxe" on the TRC. I don't think this model was listed on the website. I am confused, so I decided to ask the friendliest guitar forum ever.

Thanks,

I took the 1980 Reissue Dean Caddy and upgraded it a bit.

Added all black hardware including Grover tuners, and tossed a Bill Lawrence USA L500XL pickup in the bridge position and a GFS Crunchy Rails in the neck position. Swapped out all the pots as well and put black speed knobs on to match: Big thanks to Steve at BRG for hooking me up with some of the parts.

And here's a little EXODUS for ya.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjTrr7wiVeI

Had BRG check into it today and the Custom Shop isn't set up for it. I'm still pretty bummed. Still pondering a Custom ML though. I guess I'll have to go to Hamer to get myself a single cut type guitar. I refuse to buy a Gibson.

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/msg/476772602.html

Nice geet, nice price!

I hope I don't get flammed for this one? I have an Ibanez RG320 with two Dimebuckers in her and was thinking of adding the EMG 81 & 85 pickups. 1.) Is this terribly difficult other than the cutting?
2.) Should I expect a completely different sound? 3.) Just bought a Dean DBH lightning bolt, and would like to have two different sounding axes. Thanks in advance guys!!

Well needless to say the show was awesome... Everyone in the band was tight. And yes, Gene Hoglan is actually that big in real life. Brendon had the power stance down. I was mostly impressed with Mike Keneally. He was a monster! Everyone first saw him come out and kind of chuckled until he went into his first solo. The crowd went absolutely quiet every time he went into a solo then roared in applause when he was done. Brendon has some killer chops and is very fluid as well. Bryan Beller was killer, too. I was afraid the bass was going to be really low in the mix, as most metal bands do that anymore. He had some killer fills you can tell he was really working with Gene as he would glance back and smile every once in awhile.

Unfortunately, the venue was meant for classical performance so the acoustics were horrid and took forever for your ears to get used to. This REALLY showed when Trail of Dead were on stage as they had echo and reverb on EVERYTHING. Using that much reverb live is a bad thing in general, but you couldn't tell ANYTHING that was being played because of all the mud.

A couple of my favorite things about the show...
1. No EMGs in sight (in any guitar...)
2. No Floyds
3. The guitar techs were dressed up like the minions from the show and one of them had a 'birthday.' It was pretty funny.

And before I get into pron... Here's a brief gear list of stuff I noticed.

Mike:
-Jackson Randy Rhoades V (Black) for entire show with the exception of Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle.
-Gibson Les Paul (Black... I think it was a standard) for Duncan Hills
-Krank Halfstack... Couldn't tell if the head was a Rev1 or Krankenstein
-Krank Krankenstein Cabinet
-Pedals unknown

Brendon:
-Gibson Explorer (Black w/ Black Chrome looking Treadplate Pickguard) for everything with the exception of Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle.
-Gibson SG '61 Reissue (Cherry) for Duncan Hills
-Krank Halfstack... Couldn't tell if the head was a Rev1 or Krankenstein
-Krank Krankenstein Cabinet
-Only audibly noticeable pedal was the Digitech Whammy for the Detheme, other than that I didn't get a look

Bryan:
To be honest, I couldn't tell anything he was using. I was to say his amp was SWR, but I'm not positive. Everything looked very boutique. He used a red bass with a maple board for the entire show.

Gene: Tons of Pearl s#%t

Now on with the Pron. I forgot my actual camera so here's crappy phone pictures. Most were taken during the closing song when the entire band was lit up.

yeah this custom guitar, it was actully designed off a ywnegay prototype, this this is loaded with chrome emg 69's and a invisble floyd rose for ultimate "donut hole dive bombs"

hope u guys enjoy the pron


gotta <3 being bored at work and playing in paint....do i smell limited run? (after the gold fish guitar run is done of course)

does anyone know when the Dave Mustaine VMNT1 with the Gears of War paint is gonna be coming out?

I got a supeona (sp)? via email about a week ago to stop by and say whats up. So Im here. All I do is work. Its been an up and down year, mostly down.... Anyways, you can always PM me and I still get emails saying I have a new message, so go for it.

any of you guys know of anything that can be done to make the yellow inlays less yellow and more standard?

Apparently Epiphone makes active pickups too now.

Now remember, this is not for gigging....just jam sessions with my bro who plays drums. So all I really need it for is to get my sound above his drums. I have different pedals...so effects are no issue.. I want pure power for the price.

Feedback is much welcome,
Thanks

a picture of Matt Heafy's "star" prototype, and the 7 string if they are different guitars? I'm tired of searching for it.

what do you guys think about this dude?

I know he plays in rob halfords solo group and that he aslo had a stint with testament I think replacing skolnick.

anyway i have the chance to go to a clinic/ metal guitar jam sesh held by him and like 8 other dudes. only prob is that it costs 50$

is it worth it??

im realling gasing bad for a Les Paul and have almost enough for a blem Gibson LP Studio but ive heard the epiphones are much better... why is this? and if i were to get an epiphone LP which one should i get? thanx.

All i know about these is that they are gonna be on the DOA V and corey B is getting a signature model. Does anyone know anything else? I'm kinda interested in these, they seem to be getting some artist support already.

<img src=http://www.gibson.com/products/gibson/xfactor/images/dsxv.jpg>

thats what i had in mind, think this should do?

remmember im playing through a high gain amp

I'm tuned C standard and i never bothered to ask but is it normal that my Floyd Rose is like i guess you'd say bent way back that my Whammy Bar when moved to the back touches my volume knobs. Take note I'm not using the whammy when it already touches the volume knobs. I have an FBD dime trib guitar. The tuning down did that to the floyd and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to fix that.

Anyone know where I can find a super distortion(s) with a gold cover? I've been lookin' everywhere, no luck. I want to change the pickups in this-







definitely want to stick with gold if I can. If not, zebras I guess, or black, although I'm not sure how it'll look

Any help? Suggestions? Dealers?.... Anybody?


Pleeze?


d

Look what showed up in the post this morning

Roland Microcube! and its red!









what a cool little amp! the amp models on this thing sound fantastic, i dont understand how line 6 seem to dominate the digital market yet their amp models sound really digital, whilst roland models sound really realistic. I love the acoustic setting! and of course you cant beat the rectifier model.

I do have a few questions though...

#1 how do you record using the line out? (maybe a stupid question?)

#2 can you use the boss footswitch with these (to switch effects on/off etc) because the amp doesnt have a footswitch jack

EDIT:

#3 can you use the line out to connect larger speakers? e.g my randall warhead speakers?

Hey everyone,

I've got my new studio setup to the point where I'm ready to record some demos just for practice.

So I figured I'd ask - Is there anything anyone would like to hear???

No, not playing-wise!!!!!!!!! There are way better players here.

More gear-wise -

Do you want to hear what the Heil mic sounds like on guitar??

An Avatar 1x12?

Convolution reverb?

Groove Monkey drum parts?

Rebel Yells vs Miracle Mans?

Software synths?

Anything else???

I know I should be doing this on the exodus forum but I am having trouble getting an account

Anyone have any pics of Gary Holts white Jackson V used on the III tour n the objection overruled video?

thanks

guy selling his service on eBay, but very cool work!!

I remember when these LP paint designs came out. I tried one and it played so good I almost bought it on the spot. Ofcourse the paintjob doesn't make it play any better than any other LP but this listing just made me remember that guitar...

http://cgi.ebay.com/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130173203313


Speaking of paint jobs check out this custom painted Moser BVi (import). Made in Korea but painted and setup in the USA....so it looks/feels and plays like a USA
EVIL KNIEVEL would be proud!

does anyone know if there is a production lefty 79 V? i know theres a ML, but is there a V?

here's some of our newer songs. Some of the high screams turned out weird.....but anyways let me know what you think

http://www.myspace.com/wearesand

P.S. I know when i first posted my band you guys said "no cookie monster" but um, we play death metal and its got to be brutal and unpleasant.....

Any else ever seen these? I think they're absolutely hilarious! I've been trying to find myself one for a few months now. Perfect little travel guitar to bring around with me wherever I go (lugging around that massive case for my ML just doesn't cut it). They've been discontinued, but I'm still trying to find a used one around.

I guess you guys can remember the bodies I worked on which resulted in both my double neck and the "Goblin"

Well I have been working on third body which will be a bass.


Today I made the neck.

The headstock

The front of the bass.

The back

as you guys can see I am a long way from being finished with this bass.

i want to get into recording, but i am a complete n00b. i literally know nothing besides the research that i've done online on protools and the different packages and such.

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Digidesign-Pro-Tools-Mbox-2-Pro-Package?sku=702528

this seems to be the best value that i could find. i'm sure a lot of you guys know a ton about this stuff and are really experienced so any advice at all would be much appreciated. thanks in advance.

does anyone know what omage the stock speaker in the microcube is rated at? im thinking about hooking up my warhead speakers to the cube using the line out but i need to know what ohms the cube is rated at

The guitarist uses a Krank, but the drummer needs more than a practice kit....

http://youtube.com/watch?v=fg1M3QSqeCQ

i noticed a few months ago a small crack on my White MLF, thought it was nothing more than a finish crack... i looked yesterday..and its gotten bigger, the crack now goes into the neck binding...ive had the guitar not even a year yet, should i be worried? the crack is now little over a inch long.


heres the best i could do to get the crack to show up in a picture.

Just wanted to post a thank you to a great guy and new friend Gene

Big Bird arrived today though I could not get to enjoy her as of yet other then to admire it. I hurt my back pretty bad at work and can hardly move

As soon as I got home, I went to my neighbors to see if it was delivered. it was so he helped me carry the box over (brutal pain like lightning bolts going through my back)


Opened her up and was surprised and elated as it was not quite as yellow as I feared. Good looking guitar and I am sure it sounds great

Then I went to bed immediately for several hours. I got up to post this and have something for dinner

When I feel a little better and it's not raining, I will post a little pron, everybody know's what the Bird looks like but more images to show off are a requisite. Can't wait to plug her in, will just have to wait until I feel better

Again, thank you Gene for the trade, I see you were not home to get yours, FedEx attempted delivery at 2:18pm so make sure your ass is home tomorrow to get a new pair of amber legs & wings for the Korina Kollection

Now that is one smokin hot Dean ML

Is it possible to remove a rosewood fretboard and have it replaced with ebony ?

if it is, what kind price could one be looking at ?

4x12

Well, new to me. Used SP resonator I just had delivered.







I need to string it and dress a couple frets but overall it's in great shape.

hey, if i connect a 4*12 cabinet to my 2*4 combo (randall rg100g3) will there be sound coming out of both the amp speakers and the cabinet speakers? if not, than is there a way to make it like that?

thx!

Just got together with these guys for the first time today for practice. It went pretty well. They've been around for some time, and I've seen them when I could. I'm looking forward to rocking out with these dudes-they're a blast!!!!!!!!! I picked up most of the songs they went through today, no problem, and have a couple cds to get me up to speed on the rest.

Needless to say, I'm not exactly what you'd call much above a living room rocker, and my rig reflects this: JCM 800, Metaltronix 4x12, power conditioner, 5 band eq, BBE 482i. I don't have anything else but a wah, delay, a couple random OD pedals, and a chorus, none of which I ever use anymore. I get great rock tones out of it, but there are some of their songs I have to play with some pretty sparkly clean tones, namely Liquor Store.

What's a good way to get a decent (not awe-inspiring) clean tone out of my rig without spending a bunch of money? Line out the microcube into the pa? Carry my Randall combo with me and use it for cleans with an A/B switch? That seems like a lot of crap to carry...but I'm new to this. Should I just run it a little dirty, use the overdrive pedal, then use my Tele for clean songs with the volume rolled back a bit?

I have no idea. I haven't been in a band that didn't run balls-out rock all the time, so this is a bit new to me.

http://www.addictinggames.com/supercrazy2.html

the dime tribute area is usually pretty slow so im putting this here.

what do the silver letters on the neck spell out?
and whats with the black tape at the nut of it?

i got a dean from hell import. they are beautiful like all deans. just want say i'm proud

Just found out that Corey is no longer releasing the Rico Jr. looking guitar anymore,and that he will have a new shape coming out.Corey is also releasing his own line of pickups through Dean,which will be featured on his model.He won't be playing the Blackouts anymore.

Both his and Matt's models WILL be out at January NAMM,according to Matt as of 2 days ago.

Never seen one before (pictures on the website.) I think its kinda ugly. The black looks pretty sweet though.

Check em out.

I've never seen oen of these before, they made him guitars back when he was stil lreferred to a Diamond? Just kinda curious. Seems like a fairly good deal too, seems in nice shape, with a good bolton joint (not a brick)

Got The Atrocity Exibition today.......pretty damn good album. Has that old school thrash vibe going on. Guitar tone is killer and Andy Sneap did a good job producing the album. If ya ain't got it already you might want to pick it up.

just wondering if anyone can tell me a rough estimation at how much an ml in a hardcase would weight?

Damn how I wish I was rich.

this band wants me to be there lead guitar player and ive learned all 3 of the songs on there myspace minus the solo because the ex lead player forbids it so i put my own solo in it which is better anyway


just want to see what you guys think of this band


www.myspace.com/noneshallbespared

where'd that post go!?

ok some guitar shops, sadly, use old school price tags and stick em on the body of a guitar.

whats good to use to get that gunk off?

Hey Guys,

I hope y'all enjoy this cover of "The Flight of the Bumblebee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov.

Thanks for watching, and have an excellent weekend!


RAZOR777

I am anxiously awaiting the day I receive the MAB-1 I pre-ordered months ago. Dean first said they'd be out a couple of months ago.

Is there any news on the shipment date of the MAB-1?

i hate khaler's don't no much about edge pro from ibanez i love floyds

Let's talk about the best and most memorable guitarists from the animated world.

First up Edd AKA Double D from "Ed, Edd N Eddy".

"Double D is the local nerd from the series, a neat freak who excells in school and is the voice of reason. "Double D" is a virtuoso on Pedal Steel being able to play the most amazing lines on the instrument and even play them with his feet. Despite his mastery of that instrument Double D states that he loathes the pedal Steel. Sorry for the crappy pic, the only episode I found where he was playing the pedal steel was of very questionable quality.

Then there's Trent Lane of "Daria"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3O0Lm_Pey3Y
Trent was the main male character of the series and for a long time the object of lead character Daria's affections. Trent is the stereo typical Gen-X musician, clean on being an original and writing all the songs for his band "Mystic Spiral" himself. Trent is both leadsinger and lead guitarist, his solos however are nothing special nor are his songwriting skills anything to write home about. The clip from the episode "Pierce me" is a good example of the kind of music Trent wrote.

Alvin from The Chipmunks
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EkmnlmtNLo
Although each member of the Chipmunks was a multi instrumentalist and Alvin was also frequently seen playing keyboards, in most of the episodes he played guitar. The Chipmunks however only played covers (aside from the opening tune in the clip) so we cannot really judge his playing. Although being able to actually play every song that was covered by the Chipmunks must mean that he was a pretty skilled player.

Noodle from The Gorillaz

Noodle is a Japanese girl who shipped herself to England where she joined the band "The Gorillaz" She got her name from the food she ate during the trip. According to the Band's website the only english word she knows is "Noodle" but lead vocals on songs like "19-2000" and "Dare" show otherwise.

Blossom from The powerpuff girls
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06b8bd2f2pA
Although the Powerpuff girls only did one performance as a band (In the episode "Mime for a change") Blossom stole the show playing her Flying V using her stumps. How is it possible to play a solo like that when you got no fingers? The clip comes from the Japanese dub of the Powerpuff Girls, the only USA versions I found were so bad in quality that I just couldn't show those.

Finally from Tom and Jerry there's Uncle Pecos
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIyxHJlQFgA
Uncle Pecos is a country and Western guitar slinger with a considerable technique and a thick stuttering southren brawl. He also has a peculiar taste for strings using Tom's whiskers instead of packing some spare sets. Listen to the solo he plays at 4:50. I wouldn't be surprised if a certain player called Les Paul has played that one in.

We've just got the approval from Elliott that the Trans-Red ML run can go ahead... IF we get enough people. We need 20+ to make it happen, here is the current list:

1. slaytanic
2. blade.1966
3. GuitarFreak_333
4. Serbusfish
5. '87 Sherwood
6.
7. Beholdirise
8.
9.
10. Trusty Bucket
11.
12.
13. Detonation_333
14.
15.
16.
17.
18.
19.
20.
21.XvXBigPappaXvX
22.
23. Nickelbag Noah (If my band get a show next month)
24. Meisterjäger

Current specs:

Body: ML
Finish: Trans-red top sides and back
Headstock: Matching
Pickups: Stock (black?)
Hardware: Black
Inlays: Block
Bridge: String Thru
Neck: Set
Fingerboard: Rosewood

we arent currently decided on whether the logo will be abalone, black or white. we were going with abalone but decided it would knock up the price too much ($75 for an abalone logo) so im pretty sure its either black or white, I dont think we actually decided which, if we are going with the polls it will be white) im not sure about the inlays either, again the abalone could knock up the price so they will most likely be white. if you have any question please post it in the official thread in the dealers section (link in my sig) im just posting this here for the guys who dont visit the dealers section regularly and may want in on this run

here is are some examples of how the run finish will (hopefully) turn out:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=xAvFTGVJuAo



Not sure if its been posted before, took a little search to check but found nothing. Anyways awesome video and a good choice for the single. I love the overall style of the video with the black and white with few grays.

http://ricojrguitars.com/e107_plugins/autogallery/autogallery.php?show=Alias

a few examples:

since there is a black vmnt and a silver one. and dave mustaine's fav team is the raiders. why not put out a black with silver bevels raider colors edition. or something? i think that is a killer color combo.

to the best of my knowledge, this model was never released lefty, this site looks as though they have one, but i don't fully trust it. what to do? i've always wanted one of these LTD explorer shapes.

SO i went to the HOG today and came back with this!!


Wait a sec, i don't remember getting a dean!!


IF i got a dean why did i get this shirt?


I'm confused... *scraches head*


The hang tags say jackson and so does the headstock.....



Wait a sec it is a jackson!!! KV2 in blue ghost flames yay!!





. they didn't have a jackson case so hes gonna order me one. the things a lil dirty and the strings are really idk not smooth so i have some spare ernie balls 10's imma put on. expect a full review later this week

also dean cases are friggin huge!

Hmmmmmmmmmmm,

What will they think of next???

http://www.gibson.com/robotguitar/RobotGuitarVideoVoting.aspx

dean dime shadow vs. dean vmnt
What do I get?

Ok...
so until just recently I've fallen in love with the band "The Misfits," that legendary Horror Punk Band that practically everyone has seen their emblem at least once...

so...
does anyone have a format for Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein's Annihilator guitar?
if I ever find someone who knows how to build guitars that guitar is the one I'd have them build...

Looking for a new bridge pup for my XM and was really turned on to the Iommis, so does anyone have them, they sound good (i would hope for 160) they good heavy distortion but not to muddy, or they muddy, would you recommend them for the bridge, seeing how I don't got much money this will be my Xmas present to my self, and I would really like to know peoples expierence with them.

Anybody know Pepper Keenan and Kirk's rig and guitar setups from Down and not there older bands, mainly from NOLA and II? Guitar Geek dosnt have either those or up to date setups, most are from 2000.

did anyone else get that 20% off guitar center postcard good on friday morning after thanksgiving?
am i the only one disturbed by the fact that they're sending out pictures of severed fingers to musicians--people who are dependent on their fingers for their beloved hobbies/careers?
(i grasp the graphical representation of 20% off, but that just ain't right)


anyway, i went to GC today to do some more A/B comparison of the dynaudio BM5A's and mackie HR624mkII's and came to the same decision as before--that the mackies are slightly harsher in the treble (i think due to the modified mkII enclosure--because my friend's original HR824's have the same tweeter but don't have that touch of harshness).
so i made my decision for the BM5A's.

in typical GC salesguy fashion, the guy descends on me like a hawk and starts getting pushy, trying to close the sale (i used to work retail and was wildly successful at it, so i know all the tactics inside and out).

so i tell him, "i'm just looking right now--i'll be back on friday morning to actually buy with the 20% off postcard."

so, again in typical GC desperate-for-a-sale salesguy fashion, he tells me he'll give me 20% off *both* speakers today (the postcard is only good for a single item)!

sweet!

so i just came home with my new dynaudio BM5A monitors.
about 892 billion times better than the headphones and 10 year old computer speakers i've been using for mixing.
i'm really excited to start recording/mixing with these beasties.

So I happen to have come across a site selling these GFS pickups for what seems like dirt cheap... http://store.guitarfetish.com/bibrpiwivito.html

Are they anygood, because st that price It seems like a steal and a half?

What is the best chorus? I asked about 3 weeks ago but didn't get a good response. Out of those in the poll, which is the best?

http://cgi.ebay.com/Bill-Lawrence-Original-L-500XL-Pickup_W0QQitemZ120184598129QQihZ002QQcategoryZ22670QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting

Can anyone tell me?

If so id like dibs lol but really... feel free to bid ..

I've heard samples of Furman but no other rack parametric EQ. Does some of you use different rack eq? I play thrash-death metal and i would interested in one...not only furman...i don't want to prevent myself from the choie of different one.

Sample? Experiences?

what's everyone think of this scheme for a Limited Run? honest feedback here. would you buy this guitar, why or why not? would you prefer it an ML or V?

Title say it all. Preferably under $1000 but if you have a recommendation for something thats not on the list or is more than $1000 feel free to post please!!!!

not too big on the Epiphone SG's...

but id love to get my hands on that Angus Young Signature Gretsch though..

Well then let's all show our ugly mugs and share pictures where we're busy doing what we do best: rocking out.


Here I am playing the TDPRI jam session using my "Striper" tele with my Halfstack and my Boss ME30 multi effects unit.

Never seen one like this before.

Anybody else a dillinger fan?

Now I'm waiting impatiently for the new Meshuggah album.

effects--ISP Decimator,Wah,MT-2,Wylde Overdrive,EQ.all in front,foot pedals.Thanx in advance.

is there any anthrax songs with dive bombs or pinch harmonics

Now I must be flat out crazy, cause all the tabs I can find basically have this riff down the same way, but shouldn't it go up to the 10th fret insted of the 5th right before the last note?


I've listened to the song over and over and it seems like I'm the only person who plays it this way...........so I wanna know if I'm crazy or if anyone else hears it too

Wondered if any one in the UK has brought anything from here?


http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/

are they ok for delivery and stuff ?

A model EC400 to be exact. Second hand at my local shop for 400 bucks, real EMG 81 and 85 pickups, case included.


I tried it out and it rocks, feels rock solid and plays like a dream.

So I am in a dilemma, to afford this beauty I have to sell off my LTD Horizon which I don't play that much either but I have a real bond with that guitar so selling it would be so hard on me, what am I to do?

Let's talk about what kind of guitar you would love to have if some company would offer you a Signature model.

For me it would be based on my "Goblin" guitar. Which has proven itself to be the perfect guitar for the kind of powermetal I play with my band.


In the fact that I would want it to have the same specs of a Fender type 25/5 scale neck, a single Duncan JB humbucker en a hardtail bridge. I would spec the upmarket model with the shape of the orginal guitar.

The fun thing about having your models is that the artist can come up to the firm and ask for some crazy custom in a different shape. So I probably would ask for a strat shaped or Les Paul Shaped guitars too as long as they come with direct mounted Duncan JB pickups and a hardtail bridge.

You could almost buy two Spilt tails for this one. Check out the retail

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/WyldeFVLTD/

So my BL just arrived today from the bay, so i decided to place it in my guitar before i wired it up and found out it doesnt fit to good. The pickup mount is just to fat and since this guitar is floyded its to be really in the body the previous pup was an EMG HZ. I might sand down the mount and use it that way, anyother suggestions?

PRETTY GOOD CD

I THINK THE DRUMMER IS THE TALENT IN THE BAND.

THE SINGER HAS GOTTEN BETTER

GUITAR PLAYERS STILL RIP FOR COMMERCIAL RADIO METAL. NO YNGWIE BUT STILL VERY GOOD PLAYERS.

MOST THE SONGS HAVE GOOD POP SONG STRUCTURE AND WELL WRITTEN.


LOTS OF HOOKS SO THEY WILL MAKE LOTS OF CASH AND HAVE BETTER CAREERS THAN ALL THE HATERS.

Just got my microcube hooked up to my computer so I can do some recording. Been using audacity and it works good, but I need something better. I need a program that lets your previous recording play while you record something over the top of it, like say i lay down a rhythm then want to solo over it. Does anyone know a program that can do this?

Just caught wind that Seth from Behemoth is using these Laboga 'Mr Hector' 100 watt all-valve amplifiers.



Rear



Looks like they have decent features. The amp can be powered up with tube or diode rectification, and its changeable between 100 and 50 watts on the front panel. Strikes me as a poor mans Mesa. Or a simple man's Mesa. Doesn't sound at all like a Mesa though... which is GOOD news.

I've also seen that Jeff Waters has a signature model of the Mr Hector, unsurprisingly called the 'Annihilator Mr Hector', with an 'additional effects loop on the drive channel'.



Rear



The strangest thing is that the write up for the Mr Hector is terrible. Like it was written by a 10 year old with an engineering degree... but then I realised it's probably a very sketchy translation from Polish. Didn't notice they were Polish first time round.

Don't suppose anyone's tried them? There's no UK dealers, best we've got is http://www.musicstore.de/
in Germany, but Rock Solid Amps in Hollywood is cited as a dealer for the USA, as of 3 days ago. There's a load of sound bytes on www.rocksolidamps.com

Priced at €1273,74, £859.14.

From the clips on rock solid, it sounds mean. I really like the way the mids are sounding on the sound byte by Derek. That's definitely my kinda sound. I'll be waiting with baited breath for this thing to turn up somewhere in this country...

Has anyone seen this? Interesting...not sure what to think of it just yet.

i just found this guy on youtube....man
some of the most beutiful stuff ive ever heard,

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsD6uEZsIsU&feature=related
one of my favorites of his, drifter stood out alot to. hes got a wierd guitar with a bass on it in some of his videos to but this guy is byfar one of the best guitarist ive heard

Obviously NDC. Got this Monday night from a kid on Craigslist....for $140! They retail for $650. The kid lives in the richy part of Indianapolis so his Daddy probably gave it to him. Anyway, mine now! It's pretty much mint except for a huge freakin' chunk of missing paint by the output jack. I think nail polish will fill it in good enough. This is the most expensive Fender I've ever owned. I've wanted one of the Classic series ever since they came out but could never afford one. To top it off, last night a guy offered me a brand new 70s Classic Strat for my SG! Had to turn him down though because I really need to sell whatever guitar I have and his wasn't worth quite as much on ebay as the SG. Would have loved to have it though! The bottom shot is the 70s that I was offered.

Any body know of the guage of the strings that come with the MLXM, just so I know and can make adjustments to my liking when I buy different strings.

i'm pretty excited about these. the tone isn't GREAT, but it seems to be better than most headphone amps.

My buddy Shelton and I split a booth at the Great American Guitar Show in Wilmington, DE this past weekend and thought I would share some pictures. Here's our booth..


... and this is a 96 Korina Caddy the guy next to us had. He had it marked at $3000. I said I would pass his info on. His name is Joel and you can get him at guitarswanted@aol.com

This is a 80's ML bass from Good Guys Guitars. They had it priced at $2295 but the guy said he would talk. You can call Good Guys at (973)661-1220


No other Deans at the show besides a few new pieces and nothing USA.

Jay

just a question about strings, will generally a heavier gauge of string give you more chunk? does nickel plating make much of a difference over non nickel plated, when your looking at a set like 10-52 the 52 would be the thickest string, working its way down right? im so confused.

A buddy of mine gave me a couple of issues of Premier Guitar.

That is a KILLER guitar magazine. Lots of high-end boutique gear and reviews of obscure stuff. Cool chops in there too.

I'm subscribing.

anyone have any experience with these guitars? theres a new one on ebay in my city, and ive been gassing for one recently. what are they like to play? how to they sound? etcetc.

I think this is a new color...isn't it??


This one looks much better though.

Hey guys, can you please check this out for me, and rate it high (only if you honestly think its good, if not just don't rate it)?

Avenged Sevenfold is having a contest to write your own solo for their song Almost Easy. Synyster Gates (lead guitar) judges it, and the winner gets a free guitar signed by A7X and gets to meet them.

quick question about the tremel-no

Is it possible to install one on my KV2 and have it full floating just like normal in standard e tuning

Then put it in hardtail mode unlock the nut and change my tunings (drop d or c or some stuff)

Then tune it back to e lock the nut and put it back in full floating without anything being effected.

Will that work?

AGAIN. NEED A GOOD PREAMP TO RECORD SO THE GUITARS ARENT BUZZY AND FIZZY. BUT YOU GET THE IDEA . NOT SURE IM DIGGIN THIS TUNE. ITS TOO HAPPY FOR ME. BUT THE BAND THOUGHT WE NEEDED A RADIO FRIENDLY METAL TUNE. VOCALS AND SOLO ARE LOUD ON MY PC BUT JUST RIGHT ON MY STEREO SO WHO KNOWS. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK

CLICK ON

Hey Guys,

So what's on your GAS list's at the moment?

Find it interesting in what other people want!

Top of mine at the moment is probally An Epiphone Explorer in Black (then eventually get around to installing EMG's!). Don't slate me for wanting an Epi, they're affordable and imo all epi's are as good as Gibson's!!

Greg

im going to see megadeth in feburary, so i was wondering if your allowed to take camera's in to gigs with you? got a digital cam and would love to snap some pics

I know this topic is very controversial however having tried both products it occurred to me that an honest poll from musicians that have used both the "USA" and the "B&B" L-500XL would help other forum users make an informed decision.

Evaluation should take into account craftsmanship, power, tone etc.

So much controversy surrounds such a simple decision that I think a lot of players miss out on the whole thing. I for one almost passed on going down the L-500XL road because of it. Hopefully this will be an honest poll from users of both pickups.

No history lesson needed here....we have all read pages and pages of that.

Unfortunately, it doesn't exist ... yet

but wouldn't it be nice if Dean made a Soltero version
of this guitar ?

Check out my Jackson SL3 4Sale!

Hey guys, Tommorow at guitar center i will be getting a Crate Flexwave 120w Half Stack.




Now dont bag on this amp because its a Crate(cant really afford the equipment)... Because this amp smokes Marshall MG's, and many other amps. It has amazing tone.

Now the deal is, the dude i talked to said that if we came and they didnt have any, that he would ship it directly to us. So if thats the case, I will revive this thread when and if it gets shipped to us!1



Its my first big boy amp!!

Hey guys, I was wondering if someone had a gig guide or something for first timers. I am just starting to play gigs a little bit more often and need a little bit of guidance. Anything helps!! Thanks

Ok I KNOW this is a guitar forum but I thought I'd promote some drumlove for you

As the title implies,I just bought a Eastone digital drumset. It isn't
much to brag about but I got it dirt-cheap secondhand.
Anyway I've connected it to a VST plugin using Cubase 'cause the
samples in the kit sound as cheap as they get.

I made a little vid ,with my crappy digital camera, were I play a tune
I just made.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI7chm95LJ4

This is a quick and dirty recording.
The guitar tracks were laid down with my Agile 3500 Barriton trought my DC Demonizer.
I also used a Yamaha BB415 bass trough my POD XT.

Since I asked for string suggestions I've tried Ernie Ball and GHS. Both were ok, but I think I still like DR better.

However, I played a Les Paul with Knucklehead strings on it and I thought they felt great.

Granted, I don't know if they make thier own strings or are simply re-branding, but I did like them.

So when doing my recording this weekend I'll be trying Knuckleheads on my Deans.

OK OK

I know i was supposed to get a Gibson BFG. A lot of you guys know I had one on order and was just awaiting pickup.

Well after 2+ months of waiting on guitar center and being told "its en route" for over a month i got sick of waiting. So I started considering other options.

I was actually about to pull the trigger on a mustaine but i decided to go home after playing one and thinking about it for a bit. I walked into the local lil music store by my house and found this fiddle hung up, just came in.

I knew the specs, ben chafin designed, 1/2" maple cap on mahogany deep carve body, real tone pro's bridge, triple binding, string thru body, real ebony fingerboard with grey dots, rockfield fatass pickups direct mounted, coil taps, and a single volume and tone pot.

i figured there had to be a catch though. After an hour of playing it, i knew there was no catch. This fiddle is in every way, better than any usa les paul studio ive ever laid hands on. I loved this so much, i went back the next day, and ordered a satin one. it'll be here in december as they are on backorder.

the way to think of this guitar, is the eVo's older brother. What kills me, is this guitar can be had all day, for under 500 bucks. All I can say, is its going to take a lot to get me to buy another fiddle after this. The sustain is insane, this thing rings thru the body like no other.

on to the porno. apologies for the pics, its my neighbors camera and it kinda sucks but hey, beggars cant be choosers.















finally heres a vid of that chatreeo guy wailing on one in thailand. Honestly, this is the happiest NGD ive ever had.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0ik1e9_L8U

So I put a EMG85/EMG89 on my 2004 MIJ S1625TKS 3 weeks ago but couldn't got it work properly 'cos of the 5-way switch...
But now I have added a 3way switch, coil tap miniswitch and a rosewood knob. This broad looks sleek and sounds brutal/creamy when wanted

Clips will follow later, when I have something decent recorded with a decent quality.

Here's the pr0n though (sorry if the pics are semi-blurry):

So yeah, I've got the opportunity to teach someone some stuff on guitar. Not full time tuition or anything, just teaching the basics and a bit further.

Thing is, where do I start? What do I teach? How do I go about it?

I played guitar from magazines and tab sites for a year before I had lessons, and I'd been having piano lessons for seven years before I even picked up a guitar so the general music knowledge/theory was there.

And when I started lessons, I'd already got a bit of knowledge - knew chords, knew a couple of scales etc. etc.

So any tips on where to begin? Anyone taught people guitar before, or shown someone around a bit?

Having played the guitar for a while, you often take the basics like knowing where the notes are on the fretboard, knowing chords and basics like the pentatonic or major scales as a given.

Not mine even though I wish it could be lol ...

Came across this at my local Guitar Center the other day for $549 used. My guy told me to come back today (black Friday) because of the sale and I could have it for like $425 or something. Basically $400 with tax. I forget the total. ANYWAY here be what I got. Don't have a full review of it just yet because (big shock) the set up was HORRIBLE! I have to fix all that up before I really get to do a review on it. From the little fixing I already did, it plays pretty good. Neck joint is awesome, has INSANE sustain, neck is a little thin for my taste, and the tone is a little bitey with my current settings but I'm sure with tweaking that'll be changed.

Blah

Picked up the Midnight Wine 98 Mexican Strat today at the GC sale. Got it for $175 out the door. Picked up the Blue 60s Classic Strat on Monday. Been a good week, first time I've ever owned 3 Fenders at the same time.

I just got a BLUSA L-500XL and im having problems wiring, i wired the Bare and the Black to the back of the tone pot and taped back the green/white. But im not sure how the configure it on the pup selector. Its a 3 way Jackson Blade style selector and i need to know how to put the hot wire (red on the pup selector to make it work, so any help would be appreciated.

So, I have one of these inbound as we speak and I don't know if any of you know about them so I though I would start a thread here. If you are interested, contact BRG....
Here is the link
http://www.usmasters.com/VXtreme.htm

can someone recommend me a good one that protects my sh*t but doesn't cost like 600 bucks,maybe 300 max maybe just maybe a bit more. it would be powering my peavy, maybe a rack tuner and maybe 2 or 3 pedals not so shur on that atm

answer your phone.. LOL

CAN somebody recommend me a good brand that builds high quality but not super expensive amp cases? that and a nice 2x12 to match with my 6505+

rack case it would be nice if I could get it to fit the head, Power Conditioner and a rack tuner maybe, and a 2x12 all in one. prolly be a heavy sum-bitch but if it helps cut down loadin/out time then so be it (plug in one or two things flip switchs go)

And I've got work ahead of me because my band is gonna cover this song.

I guess that Guitars made from alternative materials have a stigma of being less than an instrument than ones made from the most ornate woods. But this isn't always the case, take for example the Danelectro guitars made from pressed hardboard, or the Ampeg Dan Armstrong plexiglass guitar or the Valco airline guitars made from plastic and I haven't even mentioned Ovation yet.

So do you guys have guitars that aren't made from solid wood?
In my own case, yes I DO have guitars that aren't made of wood. And here they are.

My strats are both 1989 Squier stratocasters and they are made from Plywood, nevertheless they sound really good and play like butter, they are treasured favorites from my extensive collection

for $441.00.

not bolt-on
not the 255

all DIME model guitars...

thats all the add said, but the picture was of razorbacks.

an explosion V
a natural flamed razorback
and a green camo razorback
and a two tone black and silver.

Does anyone here own one? Just curious, I've been GASin for one for a little while now so I'd like to hear some first hand experiences

So I was tuning my Floyd as normal, and I had to adjust the spring claw round the back as the floyd was sitting wayy up - you know? The normal sh.it

So I tightened the back, and the screws that hold in the spring claw ripped out of the back of the body and I can't get them to grip when I try to put them back in. All of which = not cool

Anybody know how to fix this and make sure the screws stay in, or should I just block off the trem till I get my '79F?

EMGs!

For the people who have them, I've heard that the ones who have them LOVE them.

If so, can you tell me what you like/dislike about the guitars?

Lately I've been thinking about picking up a delay pedal and possibly a parametric EQ.

Depending on what brand and where I purchase them I'll probably end up spending over $300 if not more.

So as I was looking at various pedals I also started reading about the Rocktron Xpression and the T. C. Electronics G-Major. Both are around the same ballpark (without considering the addition of a midi controler). They're a little more expensive than $300, but offer delay and a parametric EQ, plus some other things I don't have like reverb and some other effects.

Both also have things I already have like noise reduction, compression, chorus, flange, etc, but would allow me to limit my pedal chain and possibly the tone suck of said chain.

The point I'm liking about these though is my amp is midi switchable and I would be able to assign effects to channels and switch everything with one button, footswitch, etc. when I buy a midi controler.

I've checked out Rocktron.com, T.C. Electronic's page, Harmony Central Reviews, etc.

I'm sure some of you guys have one of these or the other or maybe have tried both.

What are your thoughts?

My local guitar stores do not stock rack gear, so I can't go check them out myself.

Harmony Central and Musician's Friend reviews really bash the G-Major for it's reliability, says it keeps freezing and losing pre-sets. Also the Harmony Central reviews lean toward the Rocktron sound wise.

Right now, I'm leaning toward the Xpression. It doesn't have as many effects as the G-Major, but seems more reliable and user friendly.

Rocktron's website is not as decriptive as T. C.s for all the features. I know the G-Major has the reverse delay which is something I want. Rocktron doesn't mention it on their site in the description and I'm having a problem downloading the manual to check it out myself.

Does anyone know if the Xpression has reverse delay as well.

Also is the Xpression more user friendly? I actually despise technology and have never owned/messed around with such a unit so I don't want something that is too complicated.


Thanks

Im thinking about buying a harmonizer and was wondering on what people recommend. Im not sure if I want the digitech whammy but I wouldent use the whammy thing because dragonfroce ruined it for me. Are there any decent ones out there under $500?

Guitar: My DOA 05 Pimpburst V

Ive played a few USA deans in stores and theres nothing compareable out there on the market at all

now saving about 4 grand, 3600 to be exact for the USA i want, Would take anywhere from 1 year to 2 years because i work at a Toy Store and give guitar lessons on the side plus go to school and a band and blah blah

Should i bite the bullet and just save for my dream USA DEAN

or just continue to buy 700-1000 dollar import deans and be happy with it



Advice please


heres the carlino guitar i want, hopefully i can get the same one done by Dean because that is most certainly what i want and i have been eyeballing it for some time now


http://carlinoguitars.com/RAZORBACKSATINBLACKGOLD.html

81 'The Paul', Walnut body, Mahogany neck, Ebony fretboard, 'Firebrand' logo, Dunlop 6100s, Super D (eh...)/59 (sweet!) combo, Tonepros everything, and lots of mileage. I encrusted this in stickers since it was @#%$@!!& and I was younger and stupid. I still do whenever I find something I really like. It plays and sounds great! This is the first guitar that sold me on Tonepros...now if I just could justify an extra $40 for tapped holes with setscrews...








Now THAT's some mileage.

Beat this thing. I dare you.

I was listening to the new Bloodroot tune (cool song Kris!) when I noticed that Kris has the cool snappy punchy tone that Meshugah, Chris Broderick and others have.

That tone is 100% in the hands, because Chris Broderick can take my guitar from my hands and get with my gear.

I can't get that tone at all. The guys mentioned above (Kris, Chris, Meshugah) are better players then I am, but I'm not sure that tone is exclusive to better players. For example, Micheal Schenker does not have that tone and he's a great player. Tony Iommi (who I play like) doesn't have a tone even close to that.

It's a killer tone, very 'in your face' and aggressive.

So how do guys get that sound??

My theory, and it's just a theory, is that is has to do with the speed that the note is picked. I think that the picking/fretting motion is much quicker and firmer with these guys.

Any thoughts on this???

1 rosewood fingerboard + a bottle of black stain + a couple old socks = one beautiful black finger board...and a pair of really messy hands

there was a topic on proper guitar setup and care, but I cant seem to find it, searched but couldn't find it. wasn't it stickied?

Can anyone give me the measurements on an EVO ? Length and such, I'm loooking for a cheap case on Ebay and need some dimensions on this.
Thanks

Just thought I'd let ya know

Greg

http://www.jagpanzer.com/allDeansNew1.mp3

I laid down a simple bass/drum pattern and played the following guitars over it (NOT in this order) -

Dean Cadillac with Miracle Man pups
Dean Hardtail with Rebel Yells
Dean Soltero with Rebel Yells
Brian Moore i80

I played the Brian Moore to see if there is a Dean 'sound'.

Here's how the pattern works. Each guitar does this ---

4 bars of rhythm guitars
4 bars with harmony guitars

Then it switches to the next guitars --

The rhythm guitars have nothing on them. No eq, verb, compression, nothing. So don't expect a mixed sound. All guitars use the same settings, same mic position, everything. All guitars were restrung at the same time with Knucklehead strings.

The results were interesting to me. I thought I'd here more differences in the various guitars.

any one know of a really good guitar book that covers things like guitar maintenance and repair (setups to pickup installation) and maybe even a little hot rodding, preferably, hardcover but doesn't have to be, but I would REALLY like colored photos.

Does anybody have a free site they use?

what are the advantages why are they on some guitars?
i might scallop the 17-21 frets on my epi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhblO61C1HY

Is this an overdrive pedal? Can it be used on solid state amps to give off a slightly overdriven tube sound?

I'm interested in getting it along with a Roland Jazz Chorus amp. Not sure yet wheter i'll be purchasing the Jazz Chorus. I may go after a Fender tube amp and a Fulltone OCD if the amount of money in my pocket allows it.

Just wanted to know about the BD-2.

Hi,

I´m probably going to buy a Dean Ml 79' F. I heared that the Floyd Rose sucks so I thought that I´d buy a new Floyd Rose from Schaller and replace it with the old one but I heared that new Floyds don´t have enough space for action. Is that true?

Does anybody have a list of the fret board radii for different Dean guitars?

does anybody know anything about these pickups? how they sound from experience?

I am looking to have an ML painted in the rebel flag motif. the only detail that I cannot make up on my own is what color to have the Dean logo. the headstock will be red. should I keep the Dean logo white or make it black?

Anyone ever checked this guy (and his band) out?

http://www.briankahanek.com/

Really cool stuff! Checked them out on the strength of 'Gemeni' in Guitar Hero II ( ..........................) and I'm hooked now!

Really catchy stuff, some nice chilled out stuff there too. Their album's are on CD Baby for 10 bucks a pop - thinking about grabbing them for Xmas time.

Im new. Hi.

Alright, that's over with.

Now onto the question

Is it possible to run Amplitube, and then run my guitar straight into my Mic or Line In jack on the front panel of my XFI Platinum and then use Amplitube as my amp?

If so, how would I do it? any special settings via amplitube?

Also, will adobe audition read amplitube? Can i use amplitube with that?

if one of you photoshoppers would be interested in doing an image of a Headstock for me - send me a PM or reply in here and I will PM you the info. Thanks

well im not gonna write a big review but i will say the amp is pretty cool and its well built. im not shy about my dislike for diezels tone, i had a 2002 vh4 and a 2003 herbert last year and i hated them. but my taste in amps has changed a little since then so i decided its time to give diezel another shot.
so far i like this one better than my last one, i need to spend alot of time with this amp before i make my mind up if i wanna keep it, so far i like it but i dont love it. i liked it the best with my uberkab better than my mesa cab.

heres a pic

alright well this was my 3rd guitar and ive had it for 8 years. was never very good but back then it was tops to me
so i decided to bring her back to life and what not so heres the pron

I'm in a Christian band formerly known as Fireproof. We're currently changing our name though it's not completely decided on yet. We're rather popular in the Northeast MS area and we're also known for causing mayhem at the gig location.

Think of us as a watered down Christian version of Motley Crue.

Anyways, that's not important. I'm looking at some cheapo amps due to the fact that i'm a cheapo person.

I'll admit...I am a fan of Marshall's MG series amps.

So now that's off my chest, i'll go on to say that I am particularly fond of the red MG100HDFX Half Stack. Seen here:

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Marshall-MG100HDFXRMG412AR-100-Watt-HalfStack?sku=482719

The Kustom Quad 100DFX I have right now does not cut it. It sounds like crap. I mean, I know the majority of you despise the MG amps, but it SLAYS this Kustom.

Yeah, so i'm definately keeping a look out for it.

I want some pron of your Black beveled Bumblebee!!!!!!! you lucky bastard lol, it looks so good from the one pic i saw of it lol.

I bought a Korean flying V and were not satisfied with the factory setup at all. The dealer also couldn't help much. Then I had to spend a few hours myself and now it is fine. Did anyone have such an experience before?

Hi guys....
Does anyone know what's going on with the Rusty Cooley Signature guitar? I pre ordered one back in March with the understanding that they were going to be released in April. Unfortunately, it's late November now and they still aren't ready. Any clue when they'll be available for shipping? The last I heard was sometime in December, but how accurate is that? Anyone know??? Thanks guys. Have yourself a great day. Cheers...

Anyone here have any experience with Bartolini humbuckers?

I bought a pair off of Ebay a couple of weeks ago. The guy I bought them from didn't know the model # or ohms of them. It took some effort for the guy to measure the length of the leads

Anyway, they rate at 8.1 and 8.5K ohms. There is no indication of any model number at all on these things. As far as I know, these pups were made in the 90s. The mounting bracket was loose on the the 8.1, and underneath was written "TUCK SP". The 8.5 had what appears to be "514" written on one of the legs of the mounting bracket.

The only support number for Bartolini is a fax number! No email, no voice line. I sent a fax last week but haven't heard anything.

Anyone have a good support contact for Bartolini? I was hoping to get some kind of a feel for what model these pups are and what they sound like before the go into the upcoming Cadzilla.

BTW, if you're wondering why the frickety I'd buy pups that I have no idea what they sound like, one of my favorite guitarist (Criss Oliva) had a Barto in the bridge of his favorite guitar, and I loved the tone that cat had.

Im split on this one, I'd really like the versitality of the TSL and the ability to make a Lead Boost channel. But I keep hearing it doesn't cut up to the DSL tone wise..

Let me get your opinions, Go.

Didn't wake up planning to buy ANOTHER guitar today. But I did....

Japanese issue only Mockingbird....







Life IS Good! Gotta go call the boss, I need some "holiday season" overtime.


Note:This post is in a few places cause I'm a post ho and a guitar addict.

Life IS Good!

Not mine, but I know there are quite a few fans of the Bel Aire around here:

im thinking about getting a razorback for my next guitar, but im having trouble deciding on the finish. I have my eye on a few, but ive only seen the photoshops and the odd blurry picture of them, so i need a bit of help, can you post pr0n of razorbacks in these finishes:

Explosion (the '07 non burnt crotch version )
Two-Tone (black with red bevels)
Two-Tone (red with black bevels

thanks

And bought the Boogie Street limited edition Washburn Southern Cross that was on the bay...pron when it comes in

I've got a number of pedals but they're three EQ's, a tuner, an overdrive, a noise gate, and a Sonic Maximizer.

I want to start getting some pedals to have fun with lead tones. I want to keep it around $100 a pedal. Right now I'm thinking a phaser, a wah, and maybe a chorus pedal. Which should I get first?

I know there's a few Megadeth fans on here!

Here's a cover of Marty's solo from "Lucretia" for all the Marty/Megadeth fans.

Take care, and thanks for watching!

I read in an old post somewhere that the full name of a VMNT is Vehemont.
Wtf is a Vehemont? Or is it just a random name?

I just got my new VMNT1 today and it has straplocks and its the first time i ever had a pair so therefor i dont know how to use them

I just replaced the stock bridge in my Epiphone Iommi SG with one of these.

Just from a comfort level, it was well worth the swap. The bridge on this guitar seems a bit more closer to the neck than other guitars and the stock saddles were a bit harsh.
The only draw back on this particular bridge type is how the intonation is set. You have to loosen the allen nut, move the bridge, tighten, tune, check repeat. I had to flip the saddle on the G-string around as well as I ran out of room.

"hey everyone, this is mainly for the people that attended the Whiskey A Go Go show last night... 2 bass guitars were stolen from us. One of them was a red musicman stearling bass, and the other was a black custom musicman stearling bass (number 51 of 150 made)

if anyone has any info please contact us! thank you very much!

My local shop got one of these in today and called me as I was getting off work. I went down there and checked it out for a bit. Really nice playing guitar. The Ebony board looks almost black - which is sweet! The Flag/Stars inlays are awesome too. Surprisingly, the guitar is pretty thick. I was expecting it to have a thin body style like the other Eclipse models, but it is thicker like a Les Paul. All in all, an awesome guitar.

I hope the board on the Rebel Stealth is this dark!

Did they ever make a 2-pc ML?

Thanks

I thought Dean currently only make the 79 ML's in brazilburst or black? this listing claims this silverburst is a new '07 guitar

I've owned five guitars since I was 15 years old. I was going through some old pics and just realized that every one of them were black.

Even though I know I'm a fan of black guitars, I still find it to be crazy that I never bought any other color. My first guitar was a Harmony bass that my dad had bought me for a b-day present. Guess what color it was???

And now with the Stealth on the way, the tradition shall live on.



Does anyone else have this thing with black guitars?

New Deans being added daily!

These are all signed by different bands who have performed
in the Des Moines area in recent weeks ... and most of them
are Deans.

Why do all the good ones cost so much?

No question about it.

Ive been holding the pick wrong ever since I started playing which is about seven years now. With the advice of a friend
