It's a crazy guitar

Not long left on it... Interested to see what it goes for...

Scott Ian claimed lately that the next Anthrax record is on its way, but, as he says himself, "who sings? i don"t know ! "

Just wanted to know how you guys feel about this "band"....as for me, their future is compromised, the reunion s#%t being a huge error to me. Now they don't have a singer, a lead guitar, let alone a credibility. John bush is one of the greatest singer ever to me, but, even though it's really frustrating, i'm happy that he turned down the offer of getting back in the band. It demonstrates he's not a whore.

Man, just woke up and had another look at this thing and she is truly a beauty! So I figured spread the love

Here is the thread I posted in the "New Deans" section with more pictures and all that goodness!

How do you actually go about getting one ???

How does the payment work? All up front or, a deposit and the rest when you get it??

I never really thought of it ,Just wanted to know because of all of the pricey limited runs

Would be closest to something like the les paul ace freley (from kiss) plays? Just wondered.

I havent done this is a while, so today I decided to shoot some porn (hehehe)...

hey guys new user. i was wondering which dean is the best for the money: the dime o flame, the far beyond driven, or the dean from hell. also there is a washburn dime st pro for sale at a local music shop for $1100: is it worth it?

This is a corker!

Plays like you never want to put it down, and for the cash, it's OUTSTANDING!!! Sounds big aswell for a parlour size, must be it's large botty.
Changed the strings to some Martin SP's 10-47's, gave the 'board a little lemon oil bath and it's quite simply awesome!!

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Dean-Razorback-V-Standard-Electric-Guitar?sku=511852

I dont trust anything besides the USA models now, My friend bought a FBD and it's falling apart, so im a little split

which guitar is overall better: the razorback or the washburn stealth? or are the ml dime's better than both?

which guitar is overall better: the razorback or the washburn stealth? or are the ml dime's better than both?

does anyone know if the dean dimeslime is actually going to happen? i saw the prototype on ebay but idk if they'll actually come out.

Too bad his hair was in the way, I'd love to have seen the look on his face.

Cool amp,but the guy demoing it is hilarious...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7J3caoAvXE

I was wondering if I used a podxt live through my warheads clean channel with the 5150 patch would it sound decent? Im basically wanting a tone like in flames clayman, but I cant afford to buy another amp to get that tone so if I bought a podxt live could I get the tone that way?

Ok guys i may be wrong here but is that pic of the actual DFH ....or what ? His description says he needs more photos of the real one,so im assuming it aint even done yet

I've got a 78 V with the original Dimarzio super distortions in it. I love the guitar, and like the pick ups just fine-- most of the time. Lately, I've been looking for a warmer, rounder, bluesier sound. Any suggestions as to pickups to warm the sound up.

So would cost an arm and a leg to get my Dime-O-Flame refinished?

I want it so hard...

...but 7 valves up hehe.

only problem is that the lead doesnt reach the wall plug, by about a foot...

I just received my new 6505 combo...... all I can say is WOW!!!!!

I've been playing for over 16 years and always used solid state. After reading all the praises of tubes I decided I had to have one. Randy recomended the 5150/6505 to me...thanks man!

I didn't have time to tweek it so I turned all the knobs to 7 (AC/DC style) and plugged my MLF straight it. I hit my first E chord and felt like I died and went to heaven. The tone is so rich and warm!! I can't wait to get home from work so I can spend some time getting it dialed in with my SD-1 in front of it!!!!

I still have one of my two RG100ES XP half stacks, but I don't think it will be getting much use now.

I'm looking into these, they seem really sick. I like SD's, but am more of an EMG fan and I hate Dimebuckers... so if I get either one of the other Razorback V's, I'd have to switch out the old pickups. How are the Licensed Floyds on them? Are they good, or are they the ones that suck? Anyone try any of these yet? Though, I'm sure that they haven't even been shipped yet.

anyone have any pics of the Explosion?

This is my friends band subschock i think there pretty good but they just wanna know what you think.

Hey all I'm searching for my first guitar. I'm thinking right now about getting an Ibanez RG or a Ibanez GSZ120. With Dean maybe one of the Vendettas but I had heard that they sounds horrible. Also my favorite band that uses Dean is Trivium. Maybe I might go for a Razorback. I don't know. I'm still new to buying a guitar. I heard that Ibanez and Shecter are great metal guitars with a lot of sustain. I prefer the RG because it has a wizard neck at the top. Is Dean better than Ibanez and Shecter? If so which guitar do you recomend? My friend suggested a Shecter. I'm looking for something thats about $200 because I have to buy an amp, etc... I also want something with a lot of sustain. I want it to sound god-like and echo while I'm playing "my hatred" by trivium.

Thanks to those who comment

Ok im in a bind,im trying to decide between two guitars,the Dime o flame and the funky munky limited run Blacktooth grin ML...now i really like both guitars,but im wondering if the Blacktooth is really worth the 1200...now i know its a limited run but my main concern is getting what i payed for...so are the Dime o Flame and Blacktooth grin similiar and if so in what ways are they similar and different,im pretty sure a forum member on here has a Blacktooth..how does it play compared to a Dime o Flame in youre opinion?

Just got home with a mesa boogie dual recto head brand new with a oversixed 4-12 cab!!! traded my marshall 2203 an cab plus my randall wearhead ( that i never used).....my god randy your right!!! i plug my emgs into this beast an shot s#%t!!!!
thanks for everyones help an comments..i found my amp!! finally!!

I just got a 1/4" steel rod run through my right hand tonight at work. Doc says it will be at least a month before I can play again. I thinking about superglueing a flat pick to the brace i gotta wear. Man this sucks!!!

WOW What a night!!!



long story short.. My band played a metal festival in corpus christi this last weekend. the doorgirl was the typical heavy metal very *friendly* person.... we had some fun, exchanged numbers and that was that...

fast forward.. she called me last night telling me that she is one of Sabbath's groupies and wanted to hang out at the show.. so we did and she got us backstage!

Met everyone except for Iomi.... Dio even had his solo band touring with him too so i got to meet them as well.... he is one short, cool, and deep dude...

got picks from Iomi, Mustaine, and Glen Drover

If you could pick another forum members gear to use (everything - amps, guitars, etc) whose would it be??

My choices ---

1. Thor. He's got that incredible blue V, a nice US white V, and a Powerball.

2. Spz. Beautiful V's as well. Also has a Powerball and a Bogner cab.

I was tempted to pick MPire and Broken Notes (both have Solteros) but I don't know what amps they have.

My namm show white and gold razorback is on ebay right now. When I get home I can post the link. If any board member wants it I will save them a few bucks and end the auction early. I have a few things I've been gassing for and I need to sell this guitar. There's also pics in my sig or if somebody would be cool and post the ebay link I would appreciate it. I can't so it on my sidekick.

Hey guys,

I thought I would let you all know that there is a video of me and MAB jamming at DOA now on YouTube and I think it is pretty cool. Not the best sound quality, but still awesome to see Michael play over the neck!

Thanks to all of the DOA guys for making it happen every year. It is an honor to play with MAB and for Dean fans.

Oh ya

lol me too

Any paint job ideas for my Ibanez iceman???? a new paint shop just opened in town and dose costom paint jobs on motorcycles and guitars and so on and so on....so any ideas

Which of all the famous Rebel flag guitars do you think is the best?

Oh come on, I thought I entered in Zakk Wyldes bottle cap special.

I was in Amsterdam today and I went to one of the most elaborate musicstores to check out some axes made by the big "G" brand. Since my 2005 Gibson SG is serving me so well I figured that there's no harm done in checking out other Gibsons for a future purchase.

I tried these two.

The SG 3. I always loved the look of a three pickup SG and this warm brown color (the picture doesn't do it justice, it's a really deep shade of brown) made my mouth water and with a price of around 1400 bucks it wasn't that much different from what I paid for my SG Standard. What also wasn't much different from my own SG was the way it played, again I felt that familiar wide and flat neck profile and all the curves were there where I expected them. The guitar sounded really full and creamy and the in-between settings were very un-Gibson sounding although the rotary selector doesn't make for a quick pickup switch.

Then I tried one of these.

The Les Paul BFG in "Ripped Goldtop" finish. The salesman and I were joking that "BFG" could stand for "Billy F Gibbons" to which I promptly launched into "Tush" This guitar blew me away, the raw body and the rough top did nothing to me looks wise ("If i buy this one, I'll sand it smooth and refinish it in a proper Gold top finish." I told the guy) but the feel and sound made up for it. Because of the hollowed out body the guitar is a featherweight and that also translates in a wonderful responsive tone. I loved it's fat neck and even fatter neck pickup, this is one mean snarling P90. The Humbucker was also great, just a light touch of overdrive and your hair is standing up, I tuned it in open G and I was rocking away, what a great blues machine this LP is.

So, if I ever get a GAS attack and I got some cash to buy me something cool, It'll probably be the BFG but I'll modify it so it ends up looking like this.

Hello, I am going to be buying an Avatar 4x12 soon and I recently found out that some people don't like cabs that are 12" in depth.

Avatar has two cabs that I am interested in. The 4x12 Custom and the 4x12 Vintage. The Vintage is 14" in depth and the speakers are slightly slanted up. The 4x12 custom is only 12" in depth and the speakers are not slanted.

It will cost me $67 CAN more to get the vintage over the custom.

Can someone tell me what the differences in sound would be from a 12" depth cab to a 14" depth cab? Will the 14" deep cab have more low end?

Is it worth the $67 and having a cab that doesn't look good with the head?

I don't really like the looks of the vintage one though, but sound matters a lot more then looks obviously. I have a Peavey XXL so I was hoping to get a cab with a metal grill but Avatar doesn't have metal grills anymore

CHEERS!

Went to see Deep Purple last night at NEC Birmingham, and bloody hell they were amazing! Thin Lizzy opened with a sweet set (can't remember it, but The Cowboy Song, Emerald and Don't Believe a Word were in it), then Styx came on. I thought Styx were pretty good, but my Dad thought they were a bit full of themselves. Then Purple came on... Here's the set list
Pictures of Home
Rapture of the Deep
Fireball
Steve Morse solo
The Well Dressed Guitar
When a Blind Man cries
The Battle Rages On
Lazy
Space Truckin
Highway Star
Smoke on the Water

Hush
Black Night
Overall, it was a gig to remember.

what baffles me is, no standby switch, and the one knob controlling gain and also kleen chan volume, weird but maybe it's a prototype design but here they are

Just got myself one of those lightweight cases!! They are awesome!

I couldn't find a proper gigbag for my ML and I needed something light.. so this was the way to go!! Thinking of picking up another one for my Z!

Got some pix btw.. made with my cellphone..

sry for the size..

anyone use these? or recommend one? like the digitech gnx4? im looking..

Bought the new Machine Head disc at lunch today. I have to say that I can find something I like about every song on the disc and it's def nice to hear guitar solos again. Don't think alot of these tunes are going to get much airplay though LOL! Most of them are real long songs with 4 of the 8 being over 9 minutes long but whatever I don't listen to the radio anyway. Guitar parts crush with 5150 brutality and the lead tone is sick. Both guitarists are really good players. I'm liking Robb's vocals too, a blend of regular singing and screaming but it's done tastefully and not that cookie monster sh!t. Anyway.......pretty bad@ss CD, check it out if you haven't already.

Yes, I know its not a Dean!
I own 2 Deans and it's still not enough! But...

...I'm having a huge GAS surge for a Gibson LP BFG in transblack.

Does any of you guys actually played it and cares to review it please?

(Non Dean Content) Im waiting on the RDZF, cut me some slack! Shes a pretty sweet geet, has a thin fast neck, and plays great. The pickups are a bit muddy for my taste (EMG HZ). For the price... I couldnt turn it down . Should I Bill Lawrence, X2n, or Bare Knuckle it? Cheap camera photos...

I purchased the new Marshall Zakk Mini Stack for my living room. I needed to add some more guitar content, as it was the only room in the house without an actual guitar strategically positioned. I must put out the dislaimer that I purchased this amp purely for its cosmetic looks, and is size. I needed something tall and thin, and something that looks good. Sound and playability were secondary.

I like Zakk, but I would not consider myself a huge fan. I did not purchase this limited edition because it a Zakk signature. I got it because the vintage silver grill cloth, and the upgraded cosmetics look stellar. The fit and finish on this amp are top notch. The vintage style gold on white Marshall logos, and the gold piping are excellent. They did an amazing job on the look of this amp for the price. The cosmetic upgrades are well worth the extra $50 over the standard mini stack.

How does it play? Well, it is basically a solid state MG series Marshall practice amp. 15 watts. Standard fare. Due to the stack configuration, however, this amp has a ton more girth and bottom end then any other 15 watt marshall practice amp. It sounds round and full. The FDD switch is a huge improvement over previous models. I would never turn it off. I dont know why it even has a switch. They should just make it on all the time. Must be a marketing thing. If it has a switch you can compare the difference I guess. The clean channel is clear and full. The lead channel is your typical Marshall sound. Good definition. Not too muddy. Sounds like a Marshall MG or AVT amp should.

The amp sounds good. It sounds better than expected. But... this is a 15 watt practice amp. A toy. A neat little novelty. The 15 watts of solid state power dont add up to much. My 18 watt all tube hand wired 2x12 bluesbreaker is at least four times louder than the micro stack. If you are looking for a real practice amp, the microstack is not the practical choice. Get something else. If you want this particular configuration, then go for it. It is what it is.

Am I happy with this purchase? Absolutely! It looks great, sounds good for what it is, and my wife thinks it looks good in the living room. A win - win for everyone!

Yup, i strongly recommend the peavey valveking

Does anybody have any suggestions for these I am currently look at these http://www.carvin.com/products/single.php?ItemNumber=PM1000&CID=WIR but does anybody have any other suggestions?

Wow... dont know if ay of you have seen this. But this caught my eye. Technology is mad!

My guitars :



Ok. My first guitar did not have a name and I think it is now destroyed, but I sold it a long time ago to a bandmate of mine. It was a black Strat clone.

My second guitar was an awesome Tokai, Love Rock Goldtop that I sold because I was a label whore and wanted a Gibson Les Paul.
I actually sold it to my brother, but he has not let me see it for years and I think it is because he must have lost it or ruined it but just is afraid to tell me or something. But that guitar was pretty frippin awesome and I would like to get it back someday, since it was my first "real" guitar.

Since then, I have kept what I have bought and this is my pron :


In order of appearance :

Model : Gibson Les Paul Studio
Year : 1991
Comment : My third guitar and my only guitar for 13 years (stopped playing for 9-10)

Model : Dean MLF 79
Year : 2005
Comment : I saw those wings in a shop and for some reason "Vulgar Display of Power" popped up in my head, so I looked it up on the net and bought me this one since I am a Dime fan since I was 12 years old and this was the closest I could get. (I think he was killed with an upgraded black, 79 MLF)
After that guitar, it was GAS GAS GAS for me.

Model : Fender Stratocaster MIM
Year : I don't know
Comment : The freatboard should be a lot lighter (maple) since I bought this one as a Jimi fan and although I think I have seen pictures of him with a rosewood board, I would have preferred this guitar to have resembled Woodstock.

Model : Jay Turser ES335
Year : I don't know
Comment : Got this one for 50$ or something like that. It actually feels nice to play but the feedback is horrendous if an amp is set over 2.

Model : Gibson SG Standard.
Year : 2005
Comment : This one is bought because I am an Angus fan and also because this is the guitar a friend of mine and a bandmate bought when I got my Gibson some 13 years ago. I always thought his guitar looked cooler then mine, so as I got older and got the GAS, I just frippin bought it to get it out of my system.
Damn childhood complexes

Model : Dean DFH/CFH
Year : 2006
Comment : As a Dime fan, there was no question that I would get this guitar just for the looks. It was the album "Cowboys From Hell" that introduced my to rock music and I have always wanted this guitar. It is not the original and it is not the USA one, but it is enough for a cheap bastard like me.
This is the best playing guitar I have and it is not just in my head, the neck fits me, the shape fits me and it just all around rocks.

Model : BCRich Mockingbird, Nagoya
Year : 1982 (or 1983)
Comment : I don't know what it is, but the mockingbird shape is the best looking guitar shape ever in my opinion. I usually like to buy stuff that has some history with me, but the mock does not, so it is simply bought for it's looks.
But I still wanted a "good" guitar, so it took me about a year to finally land on this one on ebay.

And there you have the history of Bjoddn's guitars.

The End.

Hey guys what's this amp like? I'm saving for a tube amp and it's either this or maybe a 6505 depending on the cash I get, and this is cheaper than the 6505...

Whats this ? the 4th or 5th time now ?

hi i know that almost every guitar has a painted neck but i just got a dfh today and the neck to me is very uncomfortable and i cant really slide on it. when you were beginning ( ive been playing a year) and got a guitar like that did you find it uncomfortable ? or did you get used to it or do something?

I used to carry my paintings and artwork is this case...



I guess it's pretty obvious what I listened to in those days.

Hey guys, I had some questions and was hoping some of you could help me with them. Well, I have decided to change amps from my 5150 to a Mesa because my friend recently picked up a Dual Rectifier Solo head and I fell in love with the tone. Well, here are my questions:

1) Which Rectifier would you recommend? I am currently looking at the older two channel Duals, the modern three channel Duals, and the three channel Triples. I have heard that the two channel Dual is significantly better than the modern one, and if that is the case I would more than likely go for one. I also am looking at the Triple just to keep all of my options open. I have tried each of them and like them all, I would just like to hear anyone's praises or qualms with any model.

2) What cab would you recommend with it? I am definitely thinking about a standard Rectifier 4x12 because I have heard that it is built to accenuate the natural mid-scooped voicing of the head. The only thing is that I have heard some people like the tighter Stiletto over the Recto cab.

3) What brand tubes/What type of tubes. This is the one that I am really interested in. I understand that you can use EL-34's or 6l6's and I really like the sound of the 6l6's, just not sure if the EL-34's have richer harmonics or anything. Like I have said before, I use a 5150 currently and that has 6l6's which I do like, but I have no experience with the EL-34's. I was also wondering which brands would be recommended as I have heard the stock Mesa's may not always sound the best.

Thanks in advance for any answers .

Hey folks!

I thought I'd share some news geared towards all of us lefty players. Thanks to our friends at Funky Munky, Dean is building me the first Rebel Razorback left-handed version. I guess it's a case of 'ask and you shall receive.'

I asked, they called, and yes, it's being made. From what I've read, a few people have had the news that a custom Razorback could be made left-handed. From what I was told by Funky Munky (please keep in mind this is information I got from them and not Dean directly), Dean knew this was coming and is preparing the templates for a production version. I have no idea if this means a full run or a limited run. If I had to guess, it'd be a USA series. That's all speculation. What I can say is that the Rebel Razorback being built for me will be the prototype.

The order went in about two weeks ago and it's expected to be done within 6 months. It's a long time to wait, but if anyone's gotten a custom built guitar before y'all know that's fairly normal.

I have to say, I'm ecstatic. I've wanted a lefty version since the Razorback line was launched. After many inquiries to several dealers I got the answer I'd been waiting on. A huge thanks to Funky Munky for going the extra mile. Now I just have to wait....patiently (if that's possible)

Well, dudes this a sad story, hilarious ,but true. The UPS dude came flying down our street, you know how they run, hurry, hurry hurry not paying a whole lot of attention where he was going swerved to miss a new Dodge pickup and creamed the side of our neighbors new car . Long story, short we're pretty sure this is one of those guys that "use to " work for them. It totalled the "Intrepid", so their insurance just delivered his wifes new convertible . The only good thing about this, is they paid for the new car and he had just put his corvette in the garage like 30 minutes before the driver took it upon himself to "modify" his wifes new car.

What better way to spend a sunday,than gear cleaning with a half gallon.

one of these ....






for $1200

and would the fret job be any different than a USA Soltero

This problem has finally pissed me off enough to try and get rid of it.
I moved house back in December and now when I turn my amp on I can hear AM radio through it. Always horse racing. I didn't move far and there are no transmission towers near by, so I have no idea why it's happening, just that it is happening.
It's not loud and can only be heard when I'm not playing. I turn everything down on the guitar and it can still be heard, so it's obviously the amp (Randall Warhead by the way)

Anyone had the same problem and solved it?

I'm looking into my first 5 string bass, and I was wondering what everyone would reccomend. First of all, I'm looking between the prices of $600 to $1500. Preferably, neck thru, and anything but dot inlays.

Right now, I'm looking at Schecters and Spectors.

Anyone have any reccomendations?

Been trying to play Snow by the RHCP. And man, do I feel the burn. Trying to play the main riff to speed is fun but painful on it's own.

Anyone else went to join me in the pain?

Oopsy, almost forgot.

What're you guys' thoughts on these dudes? Music? Eh? Cmon.

Does anyone have any experience with Behringer amps? I'm somewhat interested in them.

Just noticed this news entry on the low bandwidth page of deanguitars.com. maybe ive been living under a rock but theres a lot in this catalog ive not heard about.


Some notable pages that caught my eye....


Dave Mustaine "Gears of War" V?

The Mustaine models have a D shaped neck?



Jeff Berlin Sig Bass?



BLACK V Coustic?


Looks like the Mach was killed as well.

looks like Paulowina bodies are also making an entry. ill have to look up facts about that wood ive never heard of it.

Discuss...

p.s.

you can download the catalog Here

think we could get this stickied?

I like the tone of the Marshall MG amps. Not many people like them much, but I do. Who else does?

Is that the proto type behind this guy in this video????

ive been wanting to try one of these for a long time, so far i like it and it sounds pretty good.
i still need to spend some more time with it but i had 2 really good tones last night. it has more gain than i thought it would.
i had a zakk 2203 and this has more gain than that did.
i wanted a lower gain amp for some rock stuff and it seems to do it pretty well.

Wow!

oh yes i did

*does two snaps up in a circle*

Im looking at the black gold Z as my next guitar, but no one within a 2 hour radius of me has one. I need some info on it please. What series of ESP could it be compared to as far as quality (500, 1000...etc. Im used to ESP's.) Also, how is the neck on it compared to an EC1000?

Hopefully this isnt considered dean Blasphemy for mentioning ESP, but thats what im used to, so help me out here.

Thanks a lot

I wonder what it is, 'cause THAT'S CHEAP! It's cheaper than MAP on a SplitTail!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just wanted to take some time to plug a band that I made friends with a few months ago. About as close to the gothenburg sound ive heard in the states. Gave Brennan some info on becoming a dean artist. I think dean could use some young talented guitarst besides trivium!

Well everyone. It was a pretty crazy weekend here in the land of OZ. We had over 100 tornados' touch down, at least one of them was an EF5 ranging from 3/4 of a mile to 1.5 miles wide. we had one entire town wiped off the map, over 11 inches of rain in some parts of the state, baseball sized hail, unfortunately 12 to 15 storm or tornado related deaths, 70 to 100 wounded. 2 to 4 of those tornados touched down within 5 miles of me, talk about being a tense moment there on a personal level . But were still here.

edit for update: i stand corrected. the EF5 tornado that hit Greensburg was 1.5 to 2 miles wide.

hey yall,
im gonna be in phoenix in late june and i wanted to hit up some guitar places, so does anybody from around there know of any good guitar places in that general area, i realize not alot of places carry many leftys, but i still want to check out some new places, any ideas anyone?

Actually came in on saturday, but had to wait for the new camera.




Thanks Aaron!

Greg...

hi, still a noob, and thought i't put up some pron (unfortunately only my guitars)

First of all , the guitar that brought me here, my Black Gold ML, got from the Peter Cooks stand at the London guitar show last weekend, plays great and a real winner in the posing stakes


Next up, my Ibanez EDR470EX, the workhorse of my collection for the last couple of bands, tuned to B for extra lows and stickered to hell out of sheer boredom


And now My ESP LTD H207, used mainly for writing and a a live backup, not really a remarkable axe , but still pretty nice and still going strong after about 8 years (i think)


Last but not least, the classy old dame of the harem, my Les Paul custom, it was a birthday present from my family when i hit 18 (sooo long ago) only ever used for recording as i'd be absolutely gutted if anything happened to her during a gig


so yeah, that's my family (minus the cheap acoustic and terrible strat copy), more deans will be bought though, oh yes

Honestly, I've never seen Dime with an ML like this.

I want one of the Zakk Wylde ones for putting in my friends jam room. I need a light amp (around 70 lbs), but first I want your guys advice on a better alternative or should i get it.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZsixstringmasterpiecesQQhtZ-1

Which Cab do you guys prefer, I know it would be best to try one out myself there there isnt mesa dealer around here. Ive played a Bogner with v30's and it was amazing but it was to expensive. Pretty much its between these 3 with Vintage 30's in them.

I have an idea for any dealer out there to make a limited run of...a razorback Z.....i have a little idea of what it would look like and it would be sweet!!!!!!!!! any one think a Razor Z would be hardcore

hows the bad horsie

i seen one for sale in the trading section and i remember hearing stuff about it before but i couldnt find it. can anyone help me out and tell me what kinda stuff this wah would be good for?

how do i plug my guitar into computer to use virual amps settings etc thx in advance...

well theres my pron =p hope it arrouses u cos it did for me

From SPG .Due to be shipped friday. I got an all mahogany body instead of the maple cap. Just something to fool around with.

got the razorback V i ordered yesterday. figures it would end up one of the busier days at work, didnt get to play it much.

i did fire it up through a number of amps tho; framus cobra, krank rev1, few riverra's to name a few and each one had me giggeling like a school girl.

but im not sure that had anything to do with the sound, heh. this guitar fills a 17year 'want' for me. its the king V i always wanted, only.... MO'METALS.

pics to follow, someday when i get off the lazy arse to post it.

emg's go in it tonight or tomorrow. one vol, selector switch, boost switch. cant wait =D

If you mailbox is full and someone sends you a PM does it show up when you delete your old messages? or is it gone forever?

My inbox got away from me when I wasn't lookin'

That's Drumkit From Hell 2

Everytime I go to use it on a midi drum track I get a message saying:

"The outputs configured in the loaded Multi differ from the current output configuration!"

So when I use it over a midi track, all the drums are wrong; snare instead of a cymbal, tom instead of hi-hat etc.

How can I fix thisss?

some dude sneezed on me. 3 TIMES!!!

so, for the sake of public awarness (and humor) i made this.

If so, do you know of any sites to download, free or purchase, some metal, rock or blues project files?

So, I came home to see a big ass box on the floor .. as I approached the alien object. I considered, might this be .. ? Yea! The RG100ES XP Slaytanic sent me!

Brought it downstairs in the basement so my grandma wouldnt get pissed anyway ..

The beast, wrapped in it's packaging.


I noticed there was a place in the box where Slay added a peice of cardboard and tapped it to hell. I took out my weapon of destruction and slayed away at the tape. I think the box was too short for the amp, was it? Hmm. Weird.



One chunk off!



Here it comes!!!!



Oh hey what's this? Might this be the thing that you use to switch channels with??!? (Yea It'll be my first stack, when I get a cab for this monster )



Woo! Here's a full frontal.



Thanks again mate! I'll need to get someone to drive me to the local shop with this and try see if everythings okay. Cause, as I was unpacking it. It bumped on the floor a bit and I heard this weird shaking noise. Probably normal for the amp but, to me it's a first.

And did I mention this thing is waaaaaaaay bigger and heavier then I imagined? I love it!

Just put new pickups in my 1979 ML USA... A D-sonic in the bridge and an Air Norton in the neck. I've had the D-sonic before, so no surprise there. The Norton in the neck was nothing short of a revelation. Not muddy or too bassy, just perfect. I can actually use a neck pick-up now. Totally happy with this one, I'm going to change over all my guitars eventually. BTW, I put all new gold pick up rings, all new gold screws, Tone Pros bridge, and Schaller gold tuners. My old 79 is ready for the stage. I think she appreciated all the new hardware!!!

will we ever see a dean z v or ML with a stop tailpiece? i like he string thrus and floyds. but! you can't beat a matte black V with a black stop piece. anyone else feel me?

Watch the first 20 seconds, You'll laugh or your money back
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrfFExgIVYE

yea everyone has said it sounds different when u flip the pickup but my question is: how do u do it? u have to take strings off to do it? do it with a screwdriver?? and how do u flip it and can i do it at home with my dads help??

While I really dig the RH100, I feel that I want
some tubes involved, so here we go ...

so with number 2 being the Velocette and
number 9 being the Randall, how strong would
the dummy load(no.4) be?

I will also have a custombuilt treblebooster to go with it,
as well as my MXR 10-band Vintage EQ and my wah(which
I might switch in a near future).

as u can see the guitar is painted by scott ian ... and a four year old could do a better job. though the guitar is a custom theve clearly jibbed the price up by getting it painted by scott ian... i could get more of a bargain buying the guitar normally flying over to the us staying a few nights in a luxury hotel tracking down scott ian and getting him to finger paint my guitar for me. Im an anthrax fan but im not f*8king stupid! The 6 string masterpieces are all for a good cause,at the moment they are selling on ebay to go to a charity and not only that but they represent dime as guitarist and person he was. This guitar is nothing like that its just done by a company to get money and that kinda pisses me off

Just wondering if someone can vouch for a website/online store for me.

They have a few stores, and all seem to come under 'a Division of PiP's Music', the one I'm primarily interested in being www.boxymusic.com. A friend from the Netherlands said he 'came across this really cheap website' called www.guitarbargains.com, and through some surfing about, I came across Boxy Music, which is the exact same store. Now, they have a LOT of online stores (fendershop.com, gibsonshop.com, keyboardshop.com, synthplanet.com to name a few), but it all seems kinda fishy to me.

Everything is ridiculously cheap, even undercutting Thomann by a helluva lot, but something just doesn't seem right. I think it's the fact that you can't browse products, you can only use the site by searching...

They're located in Belgium. With the products I wanna buy, and with shipping charges included, they come £120 cheaper than Thomann, and a good £420 cheaper than my local music shops, so it's well worth me tryin to use this shop

Ah, Marty-Sama supaa guitaristu, sugoi! Marty-sama nihon-goga sugoi desu ka?

To be quite frank, I read that he spoke Japanese fluently and from what I saw in those clips that was no claim he couldn't back up. Which I think is very cool. I'm picking up the japanese language too from working with Japanese people and from watching anime and reading manga but I'm nowhere near as good as he is.

Oh well give me some time.

I'm thinking about changing my cabs. I've been looking into the Avatars and I'm pretty sure that's what I'm going to go for. I've got my eye on the Vintage 212. I've noticed that it's a little bigger then most 212 cabs. I was wondering if anyone has one or pictures. I want to now how big it is exactly. I was going to get the vintage 412 and put the 212 ontop of it.

?

anyone know if this case would be ML compatible? or maybe just flying v compatible.

I read someweres that when you put an OFR on a DFH that the strings dont line up correctly, has anyone had this problem? If so, can it be fixed.

i dont have an OFR on mine but its just something i was curious about so i figured id ask.

I've found this Charvel on ebay:

Anyone knows this model, and if it's possible to fit a regular Floyd Rose tremolo on this guitar? I've been looking for a single pup guitar for a loooong time now, if I can fit a FR on this I'm all over it!

Bill lewington has two of these USA lefty ml's and they are fricken cool.

Scored this off ePay for less then $5, I was surprised for sure



Hey Mark, I need the other cover version. What is the story w/ this cover version? Mine is an Azra release

i just got my new copy of sam ass in the mail. now ibanez is making an 8 string >RG2228GK RG Prestige 8 . what the fahell? what is the 8th string ? D maybe or G? and why in the hell would you want one?

Now, I'm by no means new to this album, but I found myself in the correct tuning today and decided to give some of this s#%t a go. I've been a fan of this band for a long time, and it's one of those things for me where it never occured to me to actually LEARN some of their stuff. I'm the same with Pantera... I guess this kinda agro music don't always make me reach for a guitar. Man... I do need to start doin that more often!

So, challenging thrash metal from Sweden, circa 1998.

The Haunted -- The Haunted.

The whole album. The real deal. I learnt 'In Vein' this morning and it made me realise how much I gotta work on my chops! Now I'm at work, and won't be home for another 7 hours... but I'm gonna get right in there and learn some more stuff when I can

So if you haven't got it yet, or haven't thought of learning some of their stuff... DO IT. BUY IT AND LEARN IT. Most fun I've had on an axe for a long time... Just what I needed.

And these badass sumbitches will teach you a thing or two... EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU

can anyone sugest a fixed bridge guitar that has a heavy sound

http://www.petitiononline.com/lefty1/petition.html
since there hasn;t been a new lefty import in quite some time, i though maybe you's guys that hasnt signed this would like to, and thank you very much to those of you that have already.

i do realize there is less of a market for lefty guitarists, but if 10 percent of all people are lefty,couldnt you just make 10% of the production numbers?

Hello, I am getting an Avatar cab soon. I have a Peavey XXL and that has a switch to select 4, 8, or 16 ohm.

I am thinking ahead for if I ever get a new amp.

I am wanting to get a 412 with 2 Hellatone 60L's and 2 G12T100's and that is only avalible in 4ohm or 16ohm.

Should I get it in 4ohm or 16ohm? Or should I get Hellatone 60's so I can get it in 8ohm?

I know one amp I am interested in is the Engl Fireball and I do believe that is only 8ohm or 16ohm. The vht amps I was looking at all seem to be switchable from 4, 8, and 16. Mesa amps are also an interest for me, but I am not sure what ohm there amps usually use.

I actually have a little spending money $100.00 and was wondering what you all might think would be my smartest move.
Getting new pickups (well a bridge one) or a new amp. I play the MLNXT thru a crateGTD15 with a toneworks ax3g, I was thinking about the roland x15 for a amp or a EMG which ever one works best in bridge position. i only play in my room and thats all I ever will.
Any input would be helpful

Thanks

anyone have audio or video of Nevermore with Chris broderick in place of steve smyth? i know this has nothing to do with deans, but it does have to do with guitars, and i thought one of yous guys may have it?

Hey. I'm not sure when it got put up, but there is a song on their myspace from their new album coming out soon. have a listen if you haven't already!

To funny.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0PbOk6GgmY

I just saw a shop here locally had one on sale, and they gave me a very good price for my Mesa Mark IV, so off I am.

I tested it for about 15 minutes, it sounded really cool. It's nowhere near as tight as my ENGL SE, but it's not as loose as some say it is. It should tighten up with a boost or the right pickups, I'd say it's about as tight as a recitifier.

The main thing that struck me was that it sounds really saturated which is a rarity for a boutique amp. Most of them sound dry and stuff (some refer to that as "tone"). Anyway I love "wet" sounding amps and this definately could come up with a killer saturated lead sound.

The clean channel although of no big concern to me was also much nicer than most people give it credit for, I'd put it about on par with the ENGL SE. The only thing is it's a really one dimensional amp, not that I care since I only use it to shred but some might actually care about that.

I am anxious to see how much I like it after the honeymoon is over, I have been through so many amps I am not declaring any amp the be all end all very soon anymore. I do like the Uber for shure, I get it next week, since it had to be retubed as one of the Power tubes was shattered.

To me the Uber sounds like an Uberdimensional cross between a 5150 with a Marshall JCM 800 poweramp with some rectifier low end. can't wait to play it a little more extensive.

While looking for a hard case for my Dean Icon I saw this listed. It was too cheap to pass up and I got a case I can use for my Icon!

This is a Dean Vendetta 3.0 "Flip Pearl" finish.

Anyhow...I got yet another toy and the case I was looking for and it only cost me about $50 more than a case alone! I ain't skeerd of a pink geetar!

So finally after 2,5 years a gig again, almost fully revised line up, but also a killer gig if you considder this to be a fresh start. Sadly a pretty poor crowd turnout with about 50 people, but hey we're no superstars so we're happy!

Anyway I uploaded a vid for our latest song "death from above"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIaVH5oal3A


We played a short 7-song set, but it still was frippin killer, can;t wait for nedxt thursday when we play again!

set was:

1. Slam Circus (check our myspace!)
2. Killer On The Loose
3. Stage Dive (Whiplash cover)
4. Beer Belly
5. Death From Above
6. Into The Ovens Of Hell
7. A Lesson In Violence (Exodus cover)

in about an hour. man i love that place.

I'm trying to list some stuff on ebay, but I've never used it before. I'm at the "create your listing" page, but I've filled out everything and it still wont let me continue. What's the deal?

A week? Two? 5 days?

I ordered bought a new guitar yesterday and it's coming via UPS to Ontario. Do you think it'll be here by the 25th May? Thats when I get home.

So I was talking to my girlfriend about guitar tonight and we noticed something.

Italians seem to have a huge stranglehold on "virtuoso" class electric guitarists.

Thats just off the top of my head. Thats a HUGE chunk of the "electric guitar virtuoso's of the 21st century"

I'm just wondering why that is. Does eating too much pasta young help you learn to write fast riffs? (tongue and cheek there )

Seriously worth discussing though. Who else am I leaving out?? I'm sure im forgetting a few more italian guitar guys.

My band is changing to more melodic death metal. So I was wondering how to get a Amon Amarth type tone. Because its not very distorted and minimal effects.

I know that nobody cares, but i'll go ahead creating this stupid thread anyways...

A week ago, we were practicing our band stuff and goofing around in the gym beside the church we practice at. The next day I learned that someone had messed with the P.A. stuff and other sound equiptment in the gym, so now we can't practice in the gym anymore. We have no room to play anywhere else so we have to find somewhere else.

Another thing:

Our band is in a rut right now. We are without a name and we are trying to figure out the types of music we want to stick with. Me, I like everything...prog-rock, funk rock, blues rock, psychadelic rock, southern rock, jazz, classic metal, thrash metal, death metal, black metal...so it's fairly apparent that I do not care what we play. The drummer is a funk rock, ska-rock kind of guy. The bassist likes classic rock type stuff, like Aerosmith, Queen, Guns N' Roses, etc. The other guitarist likes thrash metal and the likes. We just can't figure out the style of music we want to play. Me and the other guitarist have vast playing differences, as well. I play more of a classic rock style, whereas he plays more of a heavy metal style. This confuses me, too. The summer is almost here and we're trying to find a place to practice (we eventually will) and we just want to know what type of thing we're going to do with the band. We have one song already which is a blues rock type thing somewhat reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix and I really wouldn't mind staying on that path, but the drummer isn't too fond of it. The drummer likes the Red Hot Chili Peppers a lot. Me and the bassist love them too and also wouldn't mind playing in that style, but the other guitarist doesn't really like them much at all. So, basically what i'm trying to say is this...we're trying to meld all of these vast influences into the stuff we're doing without sounding like Mr. Bungle. Any help?

So on an "On Demand" channel on my digital cable, Brighthouse/TimeWarner, I have AOL On Demand music videos and I saw they had This Love from Pantera. Having never really watched it, I did so. In the video it shows DD on the roof playing a Black ML with the 4 KISS head sticker on it and then it shows the shots of the band playing inside and he has the Red ML. Interesting that the ML and the wall are the same shade of Red and everything else in the shots are Black/greys/and generally devoid of color. I hedge at saying this, but I will, I dont think the Red ML exists. I think it is colored in post production. If you have this service on your cable or a copy of the video, check it out.

Either way the custom run of Red AND Orange guitars from this look nice and I see the owners all raving about them.

ok i think its half step down D# G# C# F# A# D#, but what songs use this tuning?

this is just kinda a random, im bored so i wanna learn sumthing new type of question

ALSO, when i was tuning my guitar to that tuning instead of low D# it was like E flat, that is the same thing right?

i know dime gave scott ian a guitar with like a white and blue rebel flag and a jew star on it, where can i fine a picture of it?

I think Scandinavia has the biggest metal fan base. America is extremely weak. Most the guys at my school listen to alt rock like Fall Out Boy. Japan seems to be receptive to anything rocking.

hey dudes, i havent posted here in a while and my account stopped working (i used to be Levy), so i made a new one.. anyways here some pron of my old FBD and my new EVO special select:

To come up with some cool riffs. I'm currently lacking the motivation to come up with some neato!!!1 riffs. Where can I find some inspiration?

Not metal riffs, mind you, but maybe some funky stuff or some psychadelic type stuff.

well i wanted a stack so i looked them up on ebay australia and found this beauty:

hello, im deciding on which razorback to get and im not sure if the old ones or the new 255 ones are better help me out please

Great for trading / buying gear from people that live close to you, avoiding the shipping handling fees.

www.craigslist.org

i was just wondering if anyone would like to share any good stories or praises about dean employees (such as pete, deb, dean, etc) who have help you out.

for instance, i really like deb, she's the only one to have always read and responded to my emails. as a matter of fact if it weren't for deb i wouldn't even own a dean. i was going to buy a b.c. rich but i shot her an email asking about a left handed ml with the specs i wanted and she informed me (MONTHS before anyone else) about the FBD. so, i saved my cash and got my dean. not to mention all the street team help. deb rocks!

Did one of these online dealers make a mistake, or is one just better than the other? Why the humongous price difference? Cause I'm thinking about getting this combo.

http://www.music123.com/Crate-GT212-Guitar-Combo-Amp-i114102.music

ok this is not about who is better. i was just watching some MAB and then ended up listening to an old yngwie mp3 i have of him playing flight of the bumblebee live.

for the life of me i cant figure out who is faster at alt picking. MAB or yngwie.

not that it matters, but im wondering what you guys think lol.

Just want to give a shout out for Deans customer service. I had a problem with the frets on my slime. The original deal was to have a local guitar shop work on it, but they gave me this crap that the neck was S shaped and it needed to be steamed and pressed and bla bla bla. I called "Brad" (upon Tims' aka harley) request and he made the decision to have it sent back to Dean in Tampa for the fretwork instead of that.

After many encounters with customer service from other companies I figured I might get yanked around. That was not the case at all. He seemed more than willing to help out and thats where sending it to Tampa came in. After about a week of it being delivered to Tampa I decided to call him and check the status. By what I understand from the talking to him, his repair tech had a line of guitars waiting for repair. After hanging up he called back a bit later and said that he had moved my slime up to the front to be next in line after the one that was on the operating table was done. I didnt even give a sob story either. That is badass if you ask me.
Just got another call from Brad today, the wife talked to him and said it is on the table now. He said that every one walks by that guitar in that department there is in "Awe", really imressed on the looks. He said he had no idea that there was "Dean" Dimeslime limited run and thought only Washburn did them. On another note about the neck, they didnt see anything wrong with it at Dean. I didnt either before I sent it off.

Anyways, the moral of the story is, Im being treated with the utmost respect anyone could hope for. I never thought I would get bumped up in line. So I guess if anyone at Dean see this, this is a huge thumbs up to Dean guitars. This is the kind of thing that will put them on the map and keep them there. Not that they arent already.

Anyways, Ill give another review of the repair work once it comes back and "pray" that nothing happenes to it with shipment aka guitar smashers.

i just saw the Dimevision trailer , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3yKsu4s2IC8 , some amazing stuff on there ive never heard him play b4. anyone know to what song or where i could get a tab of the first solo(young) , second solo (also young) and last one ( dime o flame) ? thanx.

Would this be good to get if I were to want to try out a 7 string:

I was finally able to have my new pick ups installed in my Dean Z noir. i put an X2N in the bridge and a humbucker from hell in the neck. The X2n has a awesomely tight tone. It kicks ass. The humbucker from hell has great clean tones.

Well worth the wait I had to go through to get them in.

Unfortunately right now I dont have a way to record anything

i picked up a tubeworks mosvalve stereo power amp to run an extra cab and holy s#%t this amp is freakin powerfull loud as hell not to mention sounds great!!and they r reasonable in price!!

kfk emg set, replaced the tone pot with the 20db boost switch and its way better than i imagined. its like having a OD pedal built into the guitar. the small fender tube amps at work dread every time i pull this suker out at work, it seriously sounds like its trying to kill them poor valves hehehehe. everyone i show at work gets wood as hard as mine too. its a awesome add in and will prolly put them in all my guitars now.

wife says if i bring home another guitar, shes gonna leave me.... damn, i'll miss her =P

beh,.......now who's ripping off who HAHA! Times have changed, first Dean improces original Gibson designs and now Gibson is copying Dean designs.

i've got a razorback color i realyl want, id have to get it made custom, how much do custom dean razoracks usualyl cost?

I need myself a Halfstack, $699 or less, Im not sure what to get though...Whaddya'll think?



Also, The sounds im going for is a real ballsy super distorted sound to pair with a BL USA

Hey guys, this is an incredibly random question, but how big are MLs and Razor Vs compared to Razorbacks? Could someone maybe measure how long their hardcase and/or guitar is if they have on of those? its jsut my main problem with my Razorback is that i find it a hassle to carry it around

Cheers, Amir

Well I was just wondering if there’s any new information on the MAB signature. I can't really find anything on the internet other then the pic Dean has, so if anyone knows anything else about the guitar I would really like to know.

before anyone flames me for a Trivium thread you'll begin to relize this is nothing good. i for one like Trivium and im not one to judge what people listen to but did Matt say, "I like alot of Justin Limberlake", in this video. Matt's cool and hes a good guitarest as is Cory. but id never guess that this is how Matt is.

(idk how else to put the top part without it sounding like its me calling Matt g.ay )

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

The guitar came in and I promised I would post some pictures. The pearl paint is a trip and it is difficult to capture with a camera. It goes from red to pink to purple depending on the light.

It plays very nicely after I set it up and the set neck is slick. The stock pick ups are ok but I see an upgrade down the road there.

lets start out small. body shape.

Okay guys here's the situation: I have a 79 MLF and a few months ago while changing the knobs I broke my tone pot. Recently I've revamped the guitar and now have a new tone pot in there, but I have no idea how to wire it and google has not been my friend! I've got the gray wire coming from the input jack and the red wire comin' from the toggle switch. How am I supposed to solder these to the tone pot?

Wondering what everyone's thoughts are on what the best sounding overall distortion pedal is?

I have been been using the RP-7 digitech pedalboard for too long.. lookin to try something new.

I have heard metal zone is awesome sounding.

I could swear that I saw a print shop photo or similar of a black razorback v made of redwood. I have been looking throughout the forums but I can't find it again. Has anyone seen this and let me know where to find it? Is this guitar possible to custom order? I really want a USA Dean and can't figure if I should just get one stock or do a custom order. This redwood would be tight. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hi there im fairly new to forum,i finally got my razorback today,i posted a muck around clip on youtube,check it out!

I got a Drumset thats sitting in my room, this dude Ive been talkin to wanted to trade for his Carvin 400watt Cabinet I believe its the Carvin V412B. My set isnt getting any attenetion from me it was given to me from a friend that gave up on it so I really dont have much to lose, its a Beat up Pearl Export, and when i say beat uop I mean Beat UP.

So I was wondering wiether its a Good Cabinet or not?

Ok this is not meant to be a war starting thread but rather a thread of discussion. I was speaking with a rep from a music store company that will remain nameless that is located in FL actually not to far from DEAN. This particular rep said he knows some people from Dean and got on the topic of guitars and quality. He claimed that Deans attention to detail and quality is not nearly as good as ESP as he claims he has witness from 1st hand knowledge, hence saying he knows some of the people. He basically said any guitar from dean that is under $1000 is crap compared to any guitar under $1000 from ESP. That you get more for your money with an ESP. And that even the USA guitars wood is not cut at dean HQ but over in Japan and then sent over to USA to be painted in the Dean shop. What are your opinions in your experience about this? Especially for the Vets that have played and have done business with dean.

Hey anyone want to buy this? I just found it on ebay.

I keep looking at this guitar online, but can't find one in a store anywhere. How does it compare to my V-Wing? i imagine a mellower tone, but without picking one up have no idea. The exotica andres also looks pretty good. Anyone got either one of these? Thanks

Seems like I am the only one here, I'd love to see some more pics!

Come on there has to be someone besides me that has one?

I just picked up an absolutely mint Cadillac on Ebay, it has a serial number of 961120 stamped below 22nd fret, any help with age & origin, specs etc would be appreciated, seller thought it to be a USA produced tropical era. Item number was 330114557494, thanks

or know the man/have any experience? I have some questions...

What exactly is a "baritone" guitar? What's the difference in a regular guit and a baritone guit?

has anyone else seen those kidds doing that stupid hardcore dancing sh!t. i like a few hardcore bands but most of them suck. this kid at my skewl was doing it the other day and i was like wtf is taht @#$%&$@ sh!t. i think the kids who started it were afraid to mosh so they started doing stuff they learned in kung foo class.

Anyone still have one of the black cover ones?

which is an SG/V...

WHY DON"T THEY JUST BUILD A DAMN SG STYLE!?!?!?!

Discuss.

oops. sorry. i meant to say IF DEAN can build a split tail why can't there be a dean SG style.

Hey I understand that there are a million posts about the Dime CFH but I was wondering if anyone could tell some info about it other then just the aesthetics and the specs on the site. Like is the action set low? just as an example. Just stuff about it that you wouldn't find on the internet. Also could someone explain to me what this whole V neck business is I don't really have a clear picture of what’s going on.

How much does it cost on average to have a guitar built by Ben Chafin?

Can anyone give me some specs on the Dean Tele's that are no longer made? There is one at a local shop but I know nothing about them. JimC

Here is the new Ozzy album Black Rain available for listening. I'm checking it out right now. So far I've heard about 25 pinch harmonics and I'm only halfway through the first song....LOL!!!

DES MOINES, Iowa (May 17) - Bo Diddley is in intensive care after suffering a stroke in western Iowa, a publicist said Wednesday.



Get well man.

his id really like to go to ozzfest this year but ive heard rumors about an age limit??? sorry if this is in the wrong forum. so is there an age limit?

i was wondering if anyone has done this before and how well it turned out. i have an old warlock thats pretty cheap and i've been toying with the idea of refinishing it for a while and thought converting it to a string through would look cool and give it a touch more sustain. i know that to go string though i would probablly have to sand it down and re-paint, i think i might put on a thin veneer just to give it a nicer look, i'm thinking a spalted veneer. anyways back to the tailpeice - string through, would i have to buy another bridge or could i just not wrap the strings around and extend them through the string ferrules i would be adding? i dont know if the tension from the strings just going across the top would be enough to hold this specific bridge in place. thanks in advance for all yout advice and suggestions.

anyone ever heard of this brand? they do pretty nice tops. and have good prices.

Its pretty simple. We all get shitt face drunk and eat nothing but tacos and white castles. Then we wake up with raging hangovers, put on some basketball clothes,and go to the courts. The object is to shart while in mid air for a layup, 3 pointer, or a block. Whichever team has the most points plus sharts at the end of the game wins. I call Randy on my team!

For those of you out there that like pedal EQ's I just noticed that on the Build Your Own Clone website that they now have a 10 band graphic EQ kit. I've built a couple of their pedals and they sound pretty killer. The cool thing about this pedal is it is true bypass. Although the newer MXR EQ's are good (I have one right now) they still suck some of your tone. Anyway.....you can buy it in kit form for $99.00 or have them build it for you for $149.00. Here's the linky........

Enjoy.

Again a very good one! we played a very small pub. It was loaded LOL, ok maybe 60-70 people but that was about full capacity HAHAHA. You could barely move on the "stage", but for a non amplified (PA) gig the sound was very good.







































LOL it just strikes me after our other guitar players string broke during the first song we became an all DEAN band!

Hey,

I thought i would kinda write a quick post about the whole custom thing, as i know a bit more about it now, and perhaps by shedding light on the process, more people might be tempted to go for a really awesome guitar.

Anyway, i'd wanted a RB since i first saw them - they seemed so sleek, smooth and just plain cool. I love my ML, and the only way was up in my opinion, so i thought about getting one. Cue problem one: no lefties...

Anyway, so after like a year of thinking about it, and dithering about, i finally settled on it, and got in touch with the UK distributor, Bill Lewington.

Now, not to rip on the UK guys too much, but seriosuly, i found them pretty useless. I had to email about 14 times to get a reply (like 3 weeks later aswell...) and i basically had to then get in touch with a smaller seller to get info on ordering. After sending emails, it became apparent he wasnt really listening to what i wanted (this guy sent me the price list rather than a quote...as if i hadnt already read it, and he said it was possible to do things that Dean Z himself later said were NOT possible), so i came to these forums for advice.

Pretty quickly, i got advice to try Steve at BRG, or basically any US dealer, and man, they are awesome...I dont want to plug too much, but Steve is patient, helpful and really listened to what i wanted, to the point that he's had to send rather a few emails to Dean just to see if things are possible (it started as a black RB, then changed to a camo, then to a custom paintjob...lotsa work...).

So, it turns out that with a decent dealer, its actually a fairly easy process. I just described what i wanted, and thanks to marc for making me a 3D mock up of the paint job i wanted - a cool urban camo job based on the original camo RB. So, at present, everything is all ready to just put down the deposit and work can begin.

So, i am finishing my exams and then aiming to order it officially at the start of june...build time of 6 - 8 months....

Anyway, one last thing: price - i know that most people would be put off ordering such a high price guitar - hell, its still a scary thought for me. All i would say though, is that with a good US dealer, you are possibly (likely?) able to get a saving from the list price, and if you break it down, its actually more do-able.

All i can say is that from owning one custom shop ML, i would always, always aim high. They are built sooooo well, and with such great instruments, it truly is a pleasure to play (leading to its own rewards as you improve).

I'd always recommend someone to aim high, and get one fine quality instrument rather than several "mid range" guitars.

Anyway, i think ill keep updating this thread as the process unfolds, hopefully some people would find it interesting/useful (i was certainly not clued in to how it works myself).

Hey y'all...

I'd like to give my old LP a make-over -- call it a summer project, if you will. Does anyone have a good pic of Zakk Wylde's old shattered glass Les Paul? I have a few, but the quality is really bad. Even taking a vid cap from the Miracle Man video is icky. Sadly, all of my old Guitar mags are stuck in the closet of no return (giant home entertainment unit in front of the door *LOL*).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

enjoy guys

I saw this today in the Muncie Star Press and thought I might share it with you guys. Cowan is about five miles south of Muncie. Basically right down the street from where I am right now.

http://www.thestarpress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070517/YOURTOWNS02/70517019/1057

So what do you think it would take, to take the base lefty guitars, the ML, MLF (FBD), etc, and just make them available with different finishes? even something as simple as BLACK (and dont count the MLX, we need higher grade!).. what more is there to do?

Do they HAVE to be custom ordered? Or for Dean, is it something simple to introduce in the near future? If the guitar is already being built, what more is it to change its color??

he just got it 20 minutes ago

can anyone recommend me a good OD pedal? i was looking at the ZAkk Wylde but i dont remember reading anything about it, is it good?

does anyone no about kahler guitar bridges are they better then floyd rose bridges ?

And ain't she a beauty?

Well mine did anyhow! You know us old guys like black and gold guitars



And of course....a family portrait...

I was watching Ozzy on WWE on you tube then noticed Zakks guitar wasn't a Dean but it was an ML. I started taking screen shots and its a Gibson ML.

A dark, trans green burst MLF with matching headstock, all black hardware and an ebony board. My photoshop skills phail.

Just wanted to show part of my collection listed below/

Jeep ....you got my back?

..who might have missed this one..

Go to www.peavey.com and check out the "Mini Colossal Demo" track on their little radio player there..

Believe it's new and recorded to demo the new mini colossal amps, tho there is a nod to some real early stuff in there too.

i need a Unfinished ml or razorback body for this Art project im doing over the summer...and i cant find any infinished ml or razorback bodies....HELP ME PLEASE...a set neck would be cool

And girls for that matter :p

Does anyone remember me making some sort of complaint about the leftys and their unluckiness of the finishes and guitars? (Don't take that offensively)

But I am very happy to see that you can all discuss and all that stuff to come, hopefully Dean Z will take a look at this section once in a while.

I personally think it's about time you guys had this done.

Thankyou.

Right-Handed-James

After checking out the Roalnd Micro Cube, I'm really wanting to get one for myself.

The best deal I can find is obviously online and is from a website called StringsDirect.co.uk

Now, I've never used them before so don't know how good they are. Has anyone here heard of them or used them before?

T'is a good deal they have - £70 for the amp, posted with next day delivery, so nice 'n' speedy.

All the other online shops I've come across sell it for at least £70 plus the postage costs.

can anyone direct me to a site that sells Floyd Rose original bridges? In the UK..

Thanks

this seems relatively cheap for over here, i think i may be about to fall in love with a usa

Okay so what is a scalloped fretboard, what does it do, is it hard to play, what does it feel like, why would you want one?. I'm just curious because I never heard of it until the other day and I was just wondering what its all about. So as much information as you could tell me about it would be great. [/i]

I know some of you folks generally don't step foot in the Dime Tribute section for various reasons.

However, it might be worth your while to do so now.

I'm doing a series of posts covering the Rockwalk Induction, The Six String Masterpieces Auction, and the DimeSplash Concert event. Might be worth a gander even for non Dime fans.

Dime RockWalk Hall of Fame Induction Event

I'll update this index post (and another one in the Dime Tribute section) as I make additional posts. I still have about 800 photos to work through.

Must be something to it, as I've already blown through my iDisc bandwidth allocation to the month and had to rehost the photos on my photobucketPro account.

i'm making a custom V build and i'm wondering what the qualities of the following woods are and what would be the best one for my tonal needs

ash
alder
mahogany
black korina
swamp ash
walnut

hey yall i was wondering which of youse are TRUE leftys, i mean you do EVERYTHING lefty, writing, playing, drinking, eating EVERYTHING, because there is some number like 10% of people are leftys 2% of those are TRUE leftys, i for one am a TRUE lefty, anybody else?

a custom ML OR V in a camo finish, not like that ugly Crappy lookin camo but that good looking camo[/url]

i think we should Email Dean z

dean@deanguitars.com

and ask him what we want in a lefty model and ask him if there are any new lefty models in the works?

maybe if he heard from us he would know how much us lefties want a new model.

its a fender standard strat (mexican)
black w/ white pickguard
bolt on
perfect condition
Gutted, there are no electronics
fully functional tremelo
perfect springs

so all together, its perfect, i just took the electronics outta it

why wont they make a production or even a LTD run, Dammit!? the one existing one i saw was AMAZING. and elliott says it won't sell. i think it's freaking awesome awesome guitar. maybe upper access would be lacking but we all know you don't make no money past fret five anyway

Got some footage of battle of the bands at my school on sunday. We Won!

This is our encore performance so we were all tired and didn't really care so its sloppy compared to out other set, i also fscrewed up alot haha.

Anyways it features my Hardtail Pro live, and I must say it sounds awesome. We're playing all around the world by the Chili Peppers

Hi stringslingers,

Now a first lesson from me is online and free for all on http://www.shredacademy.com check the "Electric Guitar COncepts" lesson with me Richard Lundmark, and you will see me and a Flaxwood Äijä model hard at work. This first lesson deals with the concept of timing and notevalue alteration for improvisation. Comments are welcome!

Also, several videos are now online on my youtube as well:
http://youtube.com/fretdance
AMongst other things, clips from my clinic in Japan.

I know you can chime in here Randy cuz you've owned both the USA Jacksons and Deans. I'm thinking I want to start saving up for a USA made guitar and I played a Jackson V last weekend and it was unreal. Just curious of how the two brands compare? Never played a TC series before so I have no idea what they're like. I'm interested in either a Jackson V, Rhoads or a Dean TC MLF. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone else seen this thing yet?

Oh, my F'in GOD! This thing is tight!!

ok guys, i gotta admit im totally ignorant when it comes to this stuff.

i understand that piezo/electric combo solid bodies you can basically have an electric and an acoustic at once.

but thats literally all i know.

and the only 2 guitars like this i know about are the parker fly and the ebmm petrucci.

so enlighten me. and please, link clips =)

Im thinking about selling my RH200 halfstack. so what would be a good price to sell it for? the tones not really for me and im thinking about downsizing for now.

Remember the day when you could get a cool a$$ import Dean for less than $800? All of the new ones that are different are freakin' $2000.

The MAB axe is almost $2000
The Rusty Cooley axe is almost $2000
The 7 string Razorback is almost $2000

WTF?!?!?!?

I think someone is getting too big for their britches.

It's tempting me to jump ship.

Signed,
Frustrated.

I was just checkin out ebay,Warbird ML with case and shipping $750,seems like a good deal,I really like the finish on this guitar and really like that it dont have that big DIME on the headstock.

Hey guys

Well this is my current rig. I've been away from here for a bit, not that much here for me! but this is my reason for living!

This is an insane rig, I thought my rack rig was the rig of death! well this is the Grim Reaper itself! running both heads and 2 cabs is more than a mere mortal can take! I've run both heads now with a 2x12 and a 4x12 each, and let me just say, I needed new undies! and pants!

Man oh man! This Dean really Sings! I can't wait for a flat black razorback with emg's!


Anyhow guys, this is just the beginning of this rig, will soon have a rack case for it all and the rack gear!

Chris

CANCELLED!!

Saw Zakk on Kimmel tonight with Ozzy playing his Gibson split tail or whatever they are calling it. Man he's just getting way to carried away with his Pinch Harmonics lately! Every other note is a PH He needs to chill on those puppies. Anyway I've seen a few threads talking about this guitar so figured I post this. K..
http://abc.go.com/primetime/jimmykimmel/garage/index.html

Hey im probably gonna be gettin an import razorback v this summer. First off, wat do yall think of it? Secondly, I'm in love with the skulls finish on the USA, does anybody think i should hold off and see if this will ever be available on Dean's import line?

Ran across this on Ebay thought I would share. the color is a little bit loud for me but it is a V with a floyd and not a razor. Enjoy

we'll i've been posting here for a few month's now and i have yet to put up and pictures of my guitars, due to the lack of a digital camera being handy or having my guitars all together in the same place since i was away at school in res and the room was hella tiny. but my i'm home now and got me a free digital camera so without further adieu, my growing guitar collection.

my 79mlf, it's just over a year old now, my only dean to date but i love it.



bad time of day + cheap camera = not great pictures of the flamed top



showed up a bit better once i brought it back inside though



This is the guitar i've been working on whenever i can find the time since around christmas, while i was in school though very little work got done since i left it at home rather then hauling it back and forth without a case.



it's a neckthrough incase it's hard to tell via the picture, i will post more pictures if anyones interested as it progresses the rest of the way towards completion



this warlock was black up until about a week ago when i decided it would look cool with a spalted maple top and stripped it of its body hardware and started sanding, thats how it looks still, need to get a job before i go hunt down a nice spalted veneer. i'll post up some after images oncew it gets finished for those who are interested



This is my art and lutherie canadian made 12 string, she sounds real nice, not the greatest player but since i play electric 85% of the time it fits my acoustic needs perfectly



couple family shots seem to be in order


this one gives a good idea of the size of the custom build and shows why i have dubbed it goliath



why make it so big? i dont know, it just kinda happened that way, i love it though, it's gonna be a bitch to find a case for though. well those are my guitars, deffinetely not as nice as a lot of people's on here but hey it's a start, hopefully if all goes well a blacked out caddy select will join the family soon.

I'm on my way to getting a new amp, something for a killer metal tone, but something more affordable compared to one of those spiffy Mesa's or something.

I can always find a 5150 on eBay, or if i'm lucky one randomly shows up at guitar center. Right now they have a XXX for $999. Monday is the Memorial Day sale, and depending how much it gets marked down, I may just go ahead and get it. But i wanted to see what peoples opinions are comparing the XXX and the 5150..

OK. SOME DUDE FILMED THIS ON HIS CELL PHONE AT ONE OF OUR CRAPPY GIGS. THE SOUND IS EXTREMELY HORRIBLE DUE TO LOUD P.A BUT THE VIDEO IS ACTUALLY NOT TOO BAD. SOMEONE SENT THIS TO US TODAY ITS ABOUT A MONTH OLD OR SO. STARTS AT ABOUT THE 6TH SONG AND GOES TO ABOUT 9TH SONG I THINK. AT THE END IT SHOWS SOME DOOD'S FOREHEAD BLEEDING. I SMASHED HIM IN THE HEAD WITH MY GUITAR BY ACCIDENT. I HAD REAL BLOOD ON MY GUITAR FOR DAYS. UNTIL I FIGURED THE AIDS DIED THEN I CLEANED IT OFF. HE TRIPPED OVER A MONITOR AND FELL FOREWARD AT SAME TIME I WAS TURNING AROUND AND A TUNING PEG POST EMBEDED IN HIS FOREHEAD. OOPS. SO METAL THOUGH. HE THOUGHT IT WAS KEWL AND TOOK PICTURES BETWEEN SONGS WHICH UNFORTUNATELY DIDNT MAKE IT ON THIS VIDEO. IM WAITING FOR MORE FOOTAGE IF THE GUY HAS IT. FLAME AWAY.

http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=2031083890

Opening band was ok... The bassist had like 4 foot long dreadlocks Overall the show was ok. Vinnie was amazing and Greg put a little more lead effort into the guitar. Greg was playing this pretty cool floyded white washy V. If I had to give them a grade overall i'd say C+ B-


Sorry no pics

im pretty p*ssed off atm, i just put brand new x2ns on my rb and they sound like sh*t... Its sounding worse than stock! Is there anything i can do? Ive been thinkin about buyin a marshall stack as my amp is a total piece of sh*t.

I've been blaming my sound on my amp, i kinda hate it because the normal distortion dosnt work and the presence and reverb do nothing and it has more annoying squeaks than shoving 4 million rats in a glass box and putting cheese on the outside. Well to get to a point i want to know if x2ns work well on any amp or do you need a good amp to get a brain busting tone off x2ns?

i've gotten 2 PM notices but no PMs....
must be a problem of some sort....

if anybody's trying to PM me, email instead...

jaxxon999 at yahoo dot com

If anybody has information on these guitars just post um

i laughed my arse off during this.

Ok...it's not Dean....but I think you guys will forgive..lol





IT's a Jackson Stealth EX that I just bought from one of my friends.....for $40.00 No typo...$40.00! This thing is FOOKIN SWEET!!! The neck is thinner than an Ibanez Wizard neck...thinner than my Dime-o-Flauge neck. The guitar needed a little cleaning and new strings but other than that it's pristine!

I will be adding a spring to the F/R...strings are too much for it....and getting one knob...

I belive it's a '93 model, not sure if the paint is origional or not....has Gotoh tuners, alder body, 22 frets, and a Jackson F/R on it.

YEAAAAH!!!!

hey yall, i was just wondering if you know of any good warm up, or scale tabs, i wanna get better coordination because i cant seem to do solos for sht lol, so what do you guys recomend? i realize i can just google search... but i want to know some really easy things AND some really hard things that will help me become a better player.

Thanks in advance

Ok, some people mentioned doing a compare of Ozzy (post Randy) guitarists using an old Sabbath tune...that's only fair right?

I was just checking out Khalers, mainly the Khaler X trems, and they seem just as good as Floyds, if not better cause the design seems so much simpler. Theres no chopping of the balls ( ) installation seems just as quick as a stop tail or neck through, just better. The only reason I don't come out and say they are better is cause I have no experience with them. So, they both do the came functions, besides the construction and setup, is there any other big difference? Cause I'm really thinking on getting a Kerry King Signature V, the good one with the matching headstock, not the cheaper $400 one, and I want to know how the Khaler X would be on it.

Been droolin' over Zs for quite some time, finally pulled the trigger: ZDP! Extra Killer Mondo thanks to Steve @ BRG. Hooked me UP!!

Man this thing is SOOOO sweet. I might have to trade in my Vs for Zs...

I'm thinking of painting my ML, black with white pinstripes. but i have no idea where to start or what paint to use, or finish.
-Any tips or just some helpful ideas would help.

Never saw this guitar before, kinda fugly...

Does Dean offer anyt kind of hollowbodied guitar ?

Of course there's the Sarasota, but that's a 12string,
There's the Palomino tu, but it looks like a LesPaul
and I'm not too fond of 3pickup guitars
unless it's a strat

Dude's!

Anyone got anything to say about the MXR Zakk Wyldde Overdrive?

This little thingy:



I can get a [what I think] kinda sweet deal with this pedal, but is it any good? I'd rather trust your opinion than the standard little bit the online stores tell me.

And has maybe anyone got more samples than the one on the Dunlop site? I like what I'm hearing there, so...

What do you think? Go for it, or waste of money?

I love guitar picks! To me it's the cheapest way to slight alter your tone (which is great for overdubs). I'm always buying and trying different picks. My friends and family often give me picks as gifts.

Here is a photo and description of every pick on my studio desk.





Ultra Cool SR Series by Cool Music

This is one of my favorite picks. I’m not sure of the material. The website says ‘Cellulon Bi-Matrix Composite’ (whatever that means). The material feels a lot like fiberglass picks I used to own. This pick is very stiff with an excellent snappy attack to it. I love the wide smooth bevel on the edge. The picks also features a thin rubber grip which seems to last longer then the grips on other Cool Music picks.





Juratex Sand Texture Accu-grip by Cool Music

Another pick by Cool Music made up of a ‘mystery’ material they call Juratex. It feels a lot like acetal, but the addition of the sand texture makes it preferable to me over a normal acetal pick. The tone is a bit ‘cold’ and the pick lacks the smooth edges of the Cool Music Ultra, but it’s still a nice pick.





Coolcell by Cool Music

A slightly different version of the Juratex Sand Texture pick. This pick has all the same attributes as the sand pick except it has a rubber gripping surface. The rubber seems to wear off after about 50 practice sessions.





Bone pick by Brossard

This pick is a little thicker then I prefer, but it’s got a unique tone. It’s got bell-like highs with a very fast attack. Evidently it’s made of bone. I’m not sure what kind of bone.





Horn pick by Brossard

This pick has an almost identical tone to the Brossard pick. In fact, the tone is so close I just consider them identical. The pick feels a little bit warmer in my hand compared to the bone pick. As with the bone pick, it’s very thick.





Ebony Pick by Brossard

This is an ebony pick from Brossard. Judging from the grain, it’s from a quality of Ebony far below the grade used on my fingerboards. It’s got a cool tone though, it’s much mellower and ‘woody’ sounding compared to most other picks. Sounds great on acoustic guitars or for an unusual electric tone.





Lignum vitae Pick by Brossard

This is a wooden pick made from a type of heartwood. It has a very mellow tone and the most distinctive sound of any pick I own. It’s width make it different for fast playing, but it sound nice for slow strummed chords.





Dava Master Control Pick by Dava

This is a nickel tipped pick in the standard Dava design. Dava picks have a recessed center and varying thickness on the picks. I like their picks because I can quickly find the center of the pick with my thumb and finger. However I’m not crazy about this model Dava. The attack of the nickel is far too harsh for me.





Dava Rock Control Celluloid Pick by Dava

This is a celluloid tipped pick in the standard Dava design. I like these picks and use them often. My preferred Dava is delrin tipped.





Dava Rock Control Delrin Pick by Dava

This is a delrin tipped pick in the standard Dava design. In my opinion this is the best Dava pick. It took me awhile to get used to the small picking tip, but once I did I think it’s made my picking slightly more accurate. Getting used to the pick made me focus more on how the tip of my pick was hitting the string.





Dava Control Pick

This is the original Dava. It’s made from nylon. As much as I like the other Dava picks, I can’t stand this one. I just hate the strange tone I get from nylon picks. It’s like a slight flabby plastic tone. It’s hard to explain, but I know it sucks.





Celluloid picks

This is a standard celluloid guitar pick. The one pictured was produced by In Tune picks, who make quality custom picks. The celluloid pick has been around for years. Nearly every guitar has or has owned celluloid picks.





Ultem picks

Ultem is a new pick material and it’s described as being closest in tone to tortoise shell. Authentic tortoise shell picks are no longer available (the turtle they came from is endangered or close to it). I love the tone of Ultem (brighter then celluloid) but I dislike the unfinished edge that my Ultems have. The edge isn’t a huge deal and I still use them a lot. This particular Ultem pick was made by Steve Clayton.





Delrin picks

Delrin is the generic name for a material often called Tortex. It’s became very popular because of it’s tone and ability to snap very quickly. Delrin is typically colored based on thickness, but some manufactures are offering colors such as black in any thickness. Delrin is probably my favorite pick material. This particular pick is from In Tune.





Plastic pick

This is a plastic pick made by Grover Allman is Australia. These picks are incredibly cheap and made great giveaways (crowds love these since they look so unique). For playability they suck. The feel strange to play and have a brittle tone.





Brain picks

This is a nylon pick with raised center dots for gripping. Since it’s nylon (or something that feels similar) I don’t like.





Acetal

Acetal picks are becoming popular because it’s east and inexpensive to print full color art on them. However their tone suffers from being brittle and the picks themselves are very slick and difficult to hold when sweating. I use these picks for giveaways and not playing.

Alright, I just pulled into Quebec City, CA and I'll be here until Monday morning. I was looking online and I can't seem to find and music stores?

Anybody here know of any good music stores in quebec City? And are any of them Dean dealers?

Thanks,
Shorty.

I got my Blacktooth Grin recently and i got the last one #24 but i noticed that on my headstock where usually the model number is it sais 24 and under it sais blacktooth grin,its f*cking awesome,it also glows in the dark..but i noticed when i saw other blacktooth grins they didnt have any number there for example #16 or something..is this only for mine? also mine didnt come with a certificate of authenticity..so could this be it?

http://www.guitarworld.com/article/eddie_van_halen_new_photo_and_news

He sure looks alot healthier post-rehab...

...Im right handed

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j4S9Qtt8UU

anyone been watching? was really funny, plus freema from doctor who was on the dude that was on first was a good laugh too, then ozzy and the band performing at the end gave the audience a good dose of heavy metal

Which Dean does Michael Angelo Batio use the most? From what I see, I think its the USA Time Capsule blueburst ML...

Ok i want someone to post "GOOD!" pictures of Explosions that they own or any thing.....so send me a link or post some pics on here

My previous band Mianus performing the Green Day Classic "Basket Case" with me playing guitar, no solo, no footage just the song and the names of my former bandmates. We had so much fun.


Click here to hear it

Why is it that the tone sounds nothing like Poundcake or runaround or any of the 5150 era Van halen stuff? My buddy has a 5150 and the tone is nothing like any of the albums. Whats the secret? I know Eddie would sound like himself on a micro cube for frig sake but the Peavey should resemble the tone at least. There must be secret gear.

Alright.. I seem to be in a rut.

I can't write a song anymore. I don't know what it is, but I just can't seem to piece anything together. I've tried doing something different, and then going back to the riffs I was working on. Didn't work.

Anybody here build a Warmoth guitar? Looks like they sell some real quality stuff and you could probably build a pretty d@mn nice guitar for about a grand. I'm just wondering if the necks need any fretwork or are they pretty much ready to go. I think I could handle a project like that for the most part. Be pretty killer to build a Rhodes with a Mahagony neck/body, Ebony fretboard, single EMG 81 in the bridge & an original floyd.

I don't think I've heard of a single one that uses them.

Personally, my little Crate practice amp is... well, a practice amp. But my buddy has a souped-up half stack in his living room and it is killer. It's pretty damn cheap too, compared to some of the other high-quality brand amps I've seen.

In a few weeks, my band's gonna playing for our end-of-year assembly in school, and I'm really stressing about how we're gonna sound and all that.
Our last two shows were complete bombs in terms of sound, and it's something I don't want to happen for my last day of high-school.

Right now I'm thinking about how I can get the best out of my Roland Cube 60. Some of you may be thinking: "why the f*%@ are you using a Cube 60 on-stage?"...well it's because there's no better alternative here

I was just wondering how I can set it up to sound great. I'm not exactly an expert with this stuff yet, so I figured I'd come to you guys

On stage, how should I adjust the EQ? I've read some stuff about increasing the Mids while on-stage for tube amps, but does this also apply to solid states?
And what about the Presence? At what point do you think it would be too high? I usually have it at about 3 o'clock on the knob...

Thanks
Johnny

Since i first saw it, i thought that this mic is one of the coolest lookin
things on stage, but, since i've started to deal more with (home) recording and production for my band Skaut, my dad has been kind enough to buy this mic for me. So anyway, it's still not here yet, but i just wanted to ask you guys if anyone here has had any experiences with it and what are your opinions about it.

Yo everyone. Here are some pics from my bands show last night. It went alright. It was definitely the latest we've ever played. We went on around 11:30 PM. I was so worn out by the end of that night. Because were told to get there at 6 PM. So we were there all day. Some of the people that came for us had to leave before we went on, which sucked. But most of the people that were still there liked us.

The band that had the 12:30 AM slot tried to take the stage before us, where it was clear as day on the list, we had the 11:30 slot. They started shoving all their gear on stage as fast as they could (hence the Crate halfstack in the pics that isn't ours).That caused a big fuss..bla bla, people were screaming and s#%t, and we talked to the owner of the place and he cleared it up for them, that WE were on at 11:30 and they were on at 12:30. They bitched and s#%t and were yelling out s#%t at us during our set. But %$#@! it, I don't care about those grindcore a$$holes. They don't have the decency to show some respect. Everyone else there seemed to enjoy us. Here are the pics
(sorry for the size on some)

This sounds fairly n00b, but as you can see, my 2000+ posts pwn you.

Anyways, what is all this talk about putting pedals in the loop and all that? I do see, on the back of my amp, that there is an "Effects send" and an "Effects return" input...

I have not an idea what all of this means. I always put my pedals all up front. What's the difference between putting pedals "in the loop" and putting them in front?

This is at BRG right now and will ship to me next week. This is the first, and as of now, the only ML with natural edges. The custom shop guys had to go to Dean Z to get approval before they could do it. It turned out great. Steve is AWESOME!!! I can't say enough good things about him. I don't think I ever talked to him on the phone for less than 30 minutes at a time. Everytime he got an update I got one as well. If I had a question that he didn't have the answer to, he would get it for me. Also, while coming up with the details for this guitar and I would be unsure about something, Steve would give me his opinion. I took every one of his suggestions and don't regret a single one of them. If you are in the same boat, listen to the man, he knows of what he speaks. These pictures are Steves and are pretty good, however, I reserve the right to post more pictures once the guitar arrives to me.

Thank you Steve, the only way I could be happier is if the guitar was actually in my hands.

Now.....about that Z.....

Ignore the car that honks at the beginning. I messed one chord or 2 after the solo but I couldn't be bothered to redo it cause you get the gist of it. For your viewing pleasure or displeasure I detuned my FBD for good and here's what I did with it.

i was gone for months and i didn't get to see finished versions of the MLF666, and lots of other geets. so, post all your limited runs. NOT usa customs. limited run import models only

I was gonna go with the micro cube but this one was cheaper and I didn't need the effects or battery functions. Sounds pretty sweet too. I do need to adjust the eq when swithing between distorsion models but that's to be expected. Now I can leave my rig at the jam space when I'm too unfit to carry it (for some unknown reason ) and use the cube. I believe new gear threads are useless without pics so without further adue.




I was jamming to the DR. feelgood album now that I have a floyded guitar in D standard and I must say for the money I payed I'm pretty happy. I won't replace my stage rig but for it's purpose it's a great buy. the power squeezer function is fun and useful too.

Just saw this on his myspace page.



anyone see one of these around? it actually looks pretty frickin cool!

i always thought they'd be great. they actually get their videos played on MTV2 maybe even MTV, so that's a hell of an exposure. not to mention they play gibsons but have no actual deal with them

how could would it be to see them rocking a silverburst V, and a soltero or white v?

A Happy belated (just a few days off) Birthday to Lewnworx!!

Dean should convince Tony Iommi to come to Dean! He's just about the only real guitar hero still alive that hasn't already. Who's with me?

Excite bike for NES called. they want their tone back.

I got to admit this is impressive even if it's not my preffered style.

Celestion seventy 80 vs Celestion vintage 30.

I'm asking becuase I got a killer deal on a R412cxm cab with seventy 80's that I think sounds good but the majority of players go with the vintage 30's. I'm going to use this cab with my futrure head purchases so is there much difference? My cab is mint and I could get my money back pretty fast most likely and get the cab with vintage 30's if it's really worth it. They didn't have a vintage 30 randall for me to try and the deal was too good to pass up.

Heads in future: Randall V2 and either a mesa Roadster or Powerball by Engl.

I've tried to register there a million times, and it never works. I never get the final confirmation email. I've wanted to post these live pics I took a while ago there, but seeing as I can't register, maybe somebody here who's registered there can just throw em a link. This was from their show in Pittsburgh at the Rex Theater.

I took a million pictures but these are probably the best.

Later tonight, I'll also post some of the pictures I took of them at the Unholy Alliance last year. Enjoy!

edit: FINALLY...URLs. Pics are too big.

..My Special X

Anyone have one or played one? how is the floyd rose on it? thanks

So why aren't there any that look like this? (I made the top one)



Honestly, the ESP EX is the closest I can find to that body. Basically I took it and gave it strait lines and points all over. I like that better than an ML, not kidding. That's why I'm seriously thinking about just making my own Explorer body from scratch, and calling it the 'Navigator' or the 'Finder' or 'Excursion' or 'Into the Unknown' or 'Just find out whats in that frippin land CLARK!' or something.

Sorry, just had to vent a bit.

I got this Crate GTD120 212 on Tuesday the 23rd, but haven't gotten around to taking any pics of it. So, here they are. This thing blows away my Frontman 15R.




VV Somethings wrong here

VV Ah, that's better.




I couldn't be happier with this amp. Great sound. NO regrets.

**before I get sharted upon, I tried the "search" function, for the 47th time, and it blows...I know all this crap has probably been covered several times, but...

Can someone please explain to me the difference between Class A, Class A/B, and solid state- amp wise? Please?

Why is Class A so much LOUDER than everything else? I mean, like blisteringly loud!

And what the hell does RMS mean? Why does 15 watts Class A blow the living dog shite out of a 50w RMS solid state amp?
I've heard before that "watts" doesn't equal "volume", but why is there such a big difference?


...waits to be educated...

Can someone please tell me some stuff about this guitar, and if its any good... Also how does it sound? What kind of pickups it has...etc.....

!!!THE FRANKENDEAN!!!
Ever since i was a freshman in highschool, i had this crazy idea to mix my obsessive passion for Frankenstien, and a guitar... well, the day has come to make dreams come true... or the nightmares!!!

I basicly took the frankenstien basics, and threw it on my most pride guitar in the world, the Dean ML. for my 18th birthday i only asked for a huge party (which was amazing btw), and a Dean MLX so i can finally make this idea a reality.... i got'em both, and im the luckest guy alive!! I called up my partner in crime Bradwick, and asked him to help me out with the project to make the most uniqe ML in the world...

What i basicly did was take the guitar as it was...

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/TeeJayRIFFF/102_1957.jpg



and, i said goodbye to the classic ML style, and stripped the whole motherf@#$% down peice by peice... and came out like this
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/TeeJayRIFFF/102_1958.jpg

Then sanded down all the paint on the peices...
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/TeeJayRIFFF/Mar19_0004.jpg

then it finally came down to the paint job...
Started out makein the red stripes on the wings...
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/TeeJayRIFFF/Mar21_0001.jpg

used normal tape, im a cheap ass
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/TeeJayRIFFF/Mar21_0002.jpg

Then throw down my FAVORITE color of gray....DEAD GRAY!!
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/TeeJayRIFFF/Mar21_0003.jpg

After all that was done, and waitin a few hours for it to dry, whil eim lookin at porn and KISS videos with bradwick online!! we bring it inside where i do my thing with a black marker.... once again, a cheap half/ass way, but it'll look frackin cool!! hahaha, i first outline the red strips to give it the "cartoonish" and "comic book" look...
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/TeeJayRIFFF/Mar21_0005.jpg
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/TeeJayRIFFF/Mar21_0006.jpg



Then. NERVOUSLY!! i only had one shot on layin down the outlines of the stichings, if i @#%$@!!& up, then we would re-paint the buddy!! but lucky enough, i nailed it the first shot!!
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/TeeJayRIFFF/Mar21_0007.jpg

The funny part of makein this guitar happen, was that when we painted the neck, we forgot to remove a peice of tape right behind where the neck meets the headstock... so when we had this empty spot on the neck where it was wood color... Bradwick took out a black marker and wrote "HERMAN" for Herman Munster from "The Munsters".... it was funny as hell at the time, but little did i know, that was the new name for the guitar, HERMAN!!! *notice the wood color on the neck*
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b160/TeeJayRIFFF/Mar21_0009.jpg



But all in the end, it was all finished within a weeks worth of planning, and a days worth of painting.... Bradwick handled all the wireing and hardware s#%t, because im a retart with a soddering gun!! hahaha, but here's the final artwork!!

I love that guitar!! i'll take it with me where ever the road goes!! a custom paint job should be somethign that shows your personality, and this one hit the nail on the head!!! i think its the most uniqe DEAN on the planet aside from the Dean From Hell, hahaha...
But yea, im proud to hell to own this sucker and made it with my own two hands!! goes to show what u can do with some tape, a marker, and a few cans of spray paint!!....oh yea, pluse an imagination!!
