how did Necro (a very awesome rapper from new york, i'd say hes the cannibal corpse of hip hop, but thats an oximoron) get on that bill? WEIRD

I found this guy selling a Marshall JCM900 2100 SL-X head, and the price seems reasonable to me ($530). What are your opinions on this amp? Is it suitable for heavier stuff (metal and such)?

Fire away!

I'm in and im about ready to wee-wee myself!!!

I cant wait

can anyone recommend me a good chorus. i was looking at the Boss CE-5 and the Electro Harmonix Small Clone and they both sound descent but i didnt get a chance to play with them much. does anyone have either or both of these pedals that they could compare. feel free to give me more options, i just need a descent chorus.

Anybody Seen this new Razorback? it's new to me i was just browsing the 'bay and came across (Dime's amazing but...) yet another one of his Sig's

Greg...

Today is my 16th birthday!!!

I'm thinking about selling my rg. I can't find one like it for sale, though. It has neck thru, wizard neck, edge pro II trem, and DOT inlays, not the sharkfins. Black Pearl finish. it's in great shape. Does anyone have an idea of what it's worth?

...

I have been planning to buy a Dean with a Floyd Rose, and since it is hard to change the tune with a floyd, the EVH D-tuna will be neccesary. I have also heard that the D-tuna doesn't fit all the floyds.

So my problem is that can you put a EVH D-tuna on Dean '79's Floyd Rose.

time to rally the troops. the guys over at HCEG been talking a lot of smack about the v headstock lately so someone made a thread to show the beauty of dean guitars.

My attempt. Comments and criticisms welcome.

I have been using combo amps a long time now and my band is starting to play gigs at local pubs and places. So i think i need a better amp not the line 6 combo which doesnt have a GREAT tone and isnt loud enough.

i would like amp that does good metal tones like the 5150/6505 yet that is way out of my price range lol.
Any recomendations?

Hello ! i have one question for all Dean lovers ,i 'm going to buy a Dean Razorback ,and i need some information.
How big is the neck ,i mean the measures of the neck ?

Sorry for my English,i 'm not so good when i need something to write

i think im gonnna get one of these



what are your thoughts on these? this is the bolt on one also if you cant tell. my local guitar shop is gonnna start carrying esps so im hoping they get one soon. its a prety decent deal.
MAP is $419. it has an EMG and i dont realy mind that its a bolt on though cuz its got binding. and i dont mind bolt ons if they binding usually.

Hello to everybody, I've been gone for a while, if anyone has noticed. My computer is broken and I need a new harddrive and s#%t like that so im at Caraluzzo's house, just checkin up seeing whats going on and everything. So what's new? Anyone get any new axes or anything? if so..PUT UP SOME PICS!

If you wanted a custom guitar of your own design by Dean
would they build you one like ESP guitars or not? If yes then how
would you contact them to tell them what you want done?

Planning on getting a Mesa Mark IV in the next month. If anyone feels like convincing/reccomending me to get something else feel free. All the mesa followers can tell me anything I need to know about the amp and/or convince me why this is/is not the mesa for me. K thx by3

at least in google terms, i don't know how this translates into sales.

I'm sure we all know brands like Gibson, Fender, Ibanez, the works. Those brands that come with a legend attached to their name and I'm sure we all worked towards owning a guitar made by one of those brands. Let's talk about the times we actually succeeded and got to own one of those big brand made guitars.

My First Fender
Was a Candy Apple Red Japanese Telecaster. I bought it used on my eighteenth birthday in 1994. It was a fifties reissue model with a maple neck and a one piece white pickguard, it was a lovely guitar that because of poverty of being a college student, I had to sell it and I still miss that guitar.

My First Gibson

Was a 1993 Nighthawk special in cherry red. It was a cool guitar with a slick playability plus I was so stoked because it was my very first Gibson. But the sound was a dissapointment. I had the three pickup model and neither the single coil settings or the Humbucker setting had that magical "It" It wasn't until I bought my second Gibson (an SG) when I found out for myself how a Gibson SHOULD sound because that one had the magical "IT" in all the sounds I get from it. I sold my Nighthawk but every so now and then I see it resurface on auction sites going from owner to owner, I guess a lot of people found out about that guitar that it doesn't have that Magical "It" in it's sound.

Because I just won weekend tickettttss, SHTIIING HELLL

SUICIDAL TENDENCIESSSSS


Anyway, haha who's going??

Some pics of me warming up with my bandmate last night. I was playing the new guitar at first since it was the new guits first jam. Sorry for blurryness our drummer did his best.

Iv'e had my FBD Trib guitar for about almost a year now, its fun as %$#@! obviously.

I learned the Trademark Dime Squeel a while back but i never bothered to figure if there is a way to make it so when doing dives or any of that on a whammy for the strings not to go crap out of tune?

Other than doing a bunch of stuff and retuning like a madman every 5 minutes is there any other way?

Me and my friend recently went down to C standard tuning a couple months back, i dont do whammy stuff to often now with that tuning because of how easy it is to bend in C standard but i'd still like to without my crap going out of tune every time i do it.

does anybody here use the mark 4 head by mesa/boogie? if so, how does it sound and how much did it cost?i play in a metal band and right now i have a shitty behringer v-tone 212. no matter how i tweek my settings my sound always struggles to cut through all the other instruments, so im looking for a nice heavy sounding loud amp.i was thinking about going for a krank or randall, but now im really interested in the mesa lineup,preferably the mark 4 head and cab series.

Thanks.

Sorry I couldn't make the PA gig tonight as well.

What would you guys suggest in the 300-500 price range?

sometimes when i play for a few hours my wrist begins to ache and it wont stop for about a day or so. but yesterday i played all day long and my wrist hurts more then ever to were if i pick up a can of soda the pain strikes hard. i couldnt play all day today because of it. does anyone know what this is and if theres a way to prevent this from happening again?

I bought a Dean dime-o-flame 2 weeks ago, its an amazing guitar. when the Floyd rose is it the normal position its fine, but when i go to pull it up, to get a higher pitch i hear a click sound inside the guitar. i think that maybe the springs in the back may be getting caught on a screw, or something such as that, but i don't know what to do with it. if anybody has any ideas whats up with it let me know.

I'm looking for a small 15w (max) all-tube amp (I only play at home and I'm tired of having to crank really loud to get a good sound).

I want cristal clear cleans and warm bluesy tone.

Mandatory:
Must have reverb;
At least 10" speaker.

It would be great if:
Amp has an integrated DI;
Has preferably 2 channels;
12" speaker.

My budget is around $400.

So far I'm looking at Laney's

Anyone wants to help out with the Laneys or any other suggestions?

Thank you!

I actually have more than one problem. When I do the extreme dives, I have to put a lot of muscle into it and then when I snap it back I hear a popping sound. Also, when I pull back on my floyd, the trem kind of slides away from the right post and sinks a little (it doesn't slide OFF the screw, it just noticeably goes back ever so slightly). Now... my theory is that the bridge is catching on the wood, because on the right side of the guitar the tremolo is right up against the body. I'm no floyd noob, I know how to set them up and intonate them just fine, but in this case I don't know what to do.

How did this band get famous?????

I saw them playing live on TV and it was just well shocking, the whole song sounded out of tune and the vocalists could not sing any of the high notes to save their lives.

Just watch the live videos, it's embarrassing, I've seen local bands for 2 pound better than this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sgg5Yynrd08

Oh, and they're not an electronic grindcore band which it sounds like, they're some sort of indie band.

...well, it was a sunny day and I figured what the hell....














...that's my blacked out MLF with it's soon to be replaced Bil Lawrence R and XL500s....and the RB MLF #20!...GOLDARN they make a good couple ...

..I have to say, for removing plain ol' dust n fingerprints, Fender makes some stuff called..well I forget what it's called, oops, but Maguires actually makes it...it's not really a polish, just something you can use to remove light stuff without having to buff the hell out of it. I had a small bottle of it as a trial and I think it worked ok.

I'm planning on attending DOA 08' and was wondering if there is a date or any info avaliable yet for it.

I'm becoming more and more interested in (home) recording and "producing", so i figured since there are some of you who are pretty experienced with that in either way, i was thinking if anyone could provide me with a site or file that has good and understandable info on basic recording and producing.

I've grown kinda sick of my current amp head (Marshall MG100-HDFX), I'm trying to find something to give me a little more kick in the distortion channel. I essentially have to keep my Overdrive on at all times to get the right level of distortion I'm looking for.

Right now I'm looking at either the B-52 ST-100A or Crate Blue Voodoo 120 (unless someone can recommend something anything else). I only want to spend around $600, give or take a little, which is obviously limiting what I can get. Recommendations? I was mainly looking at tube amps, but I'm not against solid state if it sounds good.

Anybody have any awesome MLs, Dimes, or Razorbacks that look awesome. if u do put up some kick ass pictures.

Anybody Seen this yet?

Read this post a while ago and thought it was a good idea. It just took me a while to get all my stuff inventoried and catalogued. But after procrastinating for a long time, I finally completed all my homework and got my policy started. The people at Heritage Insurance were easy to deal with. And the policy was very reasonable... I would highly recommend it.

So thanks to BigDog for turning the forum on to this insurance company. I am sorry he had to suffer a loss before he got on board.

I suppose for most of us it is not "IF" your gear gets ripped off but when. I had my truck broken into two weeks ago while at a retail store (2 spaces from the front door.) Took all of about 5 minutes to break in and take what was there. Had $2100 worth of gear.....alot of it music stuff, effects, Roland SYnth etc. As some of you might know, auto insurance doesn't cover this. Homeowners will, minus the deductible. If you carry a high deductible (like 1% of your home's value) you might as well not have any. But like in most lessons.....you learn something. I am now getting a "Music Gear" Policy . Standard Homeowners "Floaters" won't cover a loss if you are a Gigging Musician. But this company , Heritage Musical Arts and Trades Insurance Program THru St. Pauls Travelers ( www.musicins.com) covers any loss, anywhere, anytime, gigging or not with your gear or anyone's you may borrow with no deductible. Their minimum annual premium is $250. The more gear you have the better deal it is. So........just ask yourself .....If my gear was stolen, (from home or auto) what would it cost me..... From my lesson to your ears guys!!

Anybody know where to get the "good" OFR trem arm for Dean MLs? I need 'em for 3 guitars: '79 MLF, DFH, and a Dean Slime. So it'd be 1 chrome, and 2 black arms. Any help appreciated thanks.

Just wondering if anyone here knows which Randall amps MAB is
playing in the Speed Kills video? He's playing 2 half stacks, and the
heads look like RG80es's, but they have a double row of knobs
like the later "century" series had. I just noticed them and I've
never seen one like those anywhere. His tone is awesome on that
vid by the way! I thought they might be the XP series, but nope,
none of them I've seen have the 2 rows of knobs.

I lold.

Does the EVO Special Select has coil tap or coil spilts? And does the vol and tone knob split/tap one coil each or do different things?

Just received a new endorsement model from Flaxwood guitars in Finland (injection-molded wood guitars). All models have roughly the same specs since they are molded. However, I've added some design details (such s my "X-hole" taken frpm their logo) on my model. ALso soem pics of another model, called ÄIJÄ.

900 bucks, nice price.

I'm lookin' to get a new sound, I got a Marshall JCM 900 halfstack. I'm lookin' for a sound like Zakk wylde had on No More Tears, and Ozzmosis. Something really low end and heavy like Zakk's sound during those albums. I know Zakk used a JCM 800, but other than that I'm not sure on what he used to get a deep distortion sound like that.

Now, for tube amps, you use overdrive pedals right? Not actual distortion pedals, or does it not really matter? I'm going to some local guitar stores tomorrow, and I have an idea of the sound I want, but am not sure on which pedals I should look at. I've been looking at the ZW-44, I'm gonna try that one out tomorrow. Is there any other or better pedals I should look at, that can come close to the low end booming distortion I'm after?

I appreciate any help with this, thanks guys.

After numerous times of being outbid on eBay.. I FINALLY scored a Peavey 5150 Head!!
Its even one of the early "Patent Pending" models, and in great shape. Thanks to RANDY aka BUCKETASS for all his advice and helpful words. Even though i couldnt afford his awesome Mesa head, he was still nice and answered my questions

... for Randy. On clearance at MF... Hope you like Medium 'cuz that's all they got left.

Pretty kool

i know that there are a couple of us in Ohio/Kentucky. MAB will be at willis music in centerville ( dayton suburb) on june 18th for a clinic.
_____________________________________________________
And now for the post clinic report.....

so the clinic was great. Sorry no photos of the action, they asked that no photos or video be taken during the clinic.

Poor Michael was jet lagged to next week and back, flew in from south korea, around 5 hours sleep in almost 3 days, plane delays etc etc etc. had some tech troubles at the store, they gave him guitars with new strings that hadn't been stretched, sound probs etc etc. ....BUT.....

Michael being the consumate professional apologized (which he did not need to do) and waded through the difficulties to put on a killer clinic, some great playing interspersed with some educational insights and information (did you know that the term virtuoso was not really a compliment back in the day?). he discussed his picking technique, vibrato, showmanship, and had some great anecdotes.
He kept his energy level high despite having every right to pass out standing up.

Of course he talked about Dean guitars and how nice they are, the quality, the history etc.

Finally MAB stuck around and signed autographs and took pictures with all who wanted them.

I got to talk to Jeff (Jeff meets Jeff) the Dean rep that was there, we were both wearing the dean stage shirt(wow same name same shirt), the MAB signiture model should be ready in a short while. He also brought a selection of USAs and a couple imports to show off.

Apparently MAB will be in Forence, KY tuesday 06/19 at the florence mall Willis Music. he will probably start at 7pm like here and will finally get some solid sleep tonight. (sleep well Michael you more than deserve it.) so any of you in the KY/OH area have another chance to go see him, i might make the trip myself if all goes well.

Thanks again Michael it was a great time!

Paul gilberts in it too.

Now that I got your attention, what kind of paint do you use on guitars??? and do you need a spray gun or can you use a roller/brush?? It would be nice if you replyed

ok, i sanded or "shaved" down my neck... WOW!! i highly recomend it, im not sure if alot of people do it already, but it is SOOO slick and moves soooo great, if i were you i would do it ASAP

i need to get in contact with seabass, I still have his frickin jackson rx10d and havent heard from him in weeks. I know someone on here gave him a call last time a thread was made, so could whoever called him please try him again for me? hes not replying to emails and hasnt been on msn for weeks.

thanks a lot

I have some idea how to tune it but it wont stay for me.
i have one of those $600 brazillan burst deans With the locking tremolo but it isnt a real floyd rose. I use the gauge 10-52.
Please if you know how please tell me. Its pretty much driving me insane!

I just switched the 81 and the 60 around in my LTD, putting the 60 in the bridge. I was string changing anyway, and HATED the 81, so I figured why the hell not.

At this present time it's 01.18am so I can crank chizz up and give her a good go, but anything's better than that nasty 81 I had in there. I just done the quiet little mess around to make sure stuff was working, and it sounds better... I'm immensely in love with the sound I get from the JB in my Fernandes, but I think that's mainly due to the body material.

I've been meaning to pick up an EMG 85 to try in the bridge... I'll most probably do that if the 60 don't quite work for me, and I imagine I'll ultimately go for an SD pair.

One question I do have is about hooking up just one EMG. I'm fairly sure it's possible, does anyone know how?

Hell, I can't even give you good sound clips... Just thought I'd share the wealth!

I finally got one of these about a week ago, it works awesome but seems to drain the battery even when its switched off.
I thought I just had a s#%t battery and popped in a fresh one--came back a couple days later and its smoked again, do they need to be unplugged when Your not using them?

anybody got any pics of the Red and black one, i seriously think this guitar kicks ass and i love red and black... thanks.

How exactly would you power all of your pedals with the Boss NS-2?

thx!

About 2 months ago I sold an amp on my sisters bf's ebay account for the price of $610 wich included shipping charges via paypal. He gave me $580 saying that the rest was charged for using paypal.

The other day I bought 2 pairs of shoes, they were on sale for $30 bucks a pair and happened to be the last ones left and luckily my size. I decided to keep one pair and bring the ones I didnt like back for a refund. I remembered my sis saying Cesar (her bf) needed some shoes so I brought em over to their house and he liked em and said he would pay me the next day. 2 days pass and no money. Today I go over to hang out, ask him for the money, and oddly enough he says he got a bill from ebay for 18 to list the amp and other fees (keep in mind its from 2 months ago). So he gave me 12 and said we were even.

So is it all some BS or does ebay and paypal really work like that?

Changed out the pickups to a D-Sonic and Air Norton,a killswitch,sanded off the black paint by hand(took 2 months),and laquered it,by myself.It was long and painful,but SO WORTH IT.It sounds 1,000,000x better and plays much better now that I've profiled the neck more.Tell me what you think.






^My top shelf geets.

Anyone have it? Is it good? I'm going to buy it because i'm a Dev-whore.

how does a sustainer system work, and which one is the best?

In case you don't stop by the Dealer section take a look at this. Ya know ya want one!

i like the angle cuts on the horn, but the crotch reminds me of bow legged cowboy in chaps you always see in westerns. i think with a V pointy crotch, those cuts, and the side bevels on the VMNT, that would be one sweet hybrid geet.

what two guitars would you like to have a baby, getting the benefits of both guitars =p

i reckon an Alexi Laiho Scythe and a rust razorback, having the scythe body and neck and the dean headstock, rb tone and rust paint job

check out his pictures he makes awesome carvings of guitars:

There's a live webcast of download, and Megadeth are playing!

http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk/webcast/

Kinda sucks that the webcast is only on the main stage (no Dream Theater or Motley Crue), and even then they've cut off Killswitch Engage, Mastodon, Slayer and Dragonforce.

I made a deal last night with another forum member "MPIRE" for his Dean Icon. This looks to be one sweet guitar! Looks to be a late 90's model? If any one knows more about the year of this one please let me know.

This will be my second Icon. I am a big fan of these guitars. The one I currently have has become one of my favorites. Anyhow.....I can see a third Icon in my future someday as well !

Hope to see some Dean and DOA Bothers and Sisters there!

Doing a little web surfing and ran across this picture of a recent show. Chris is playing guitar with Doro Pesch on her current tour, here he is sporting a Black Gold Caddy.

In a recent thread discussing gear insurance, someone mentioned that it's not a matter of IF but WHEN your gear will get stolen. That statement surprised me a bit. I'm a fairly new player, and I'm getting my act together and hope to start gigging soon. I don't have all the high end stuff that many of you guys have, but I still don't want to get my gear ripped off.

Once a few years back I was mugged in New Orleans. It wasn't bad, I wasn't physically harmed and the guys only got away with the amount cash I had on me, but I came away with several things in mind of what I could have done to avoid it.

So I thought I'd ask the experienced giggers here, especially those of you who have had things stolen, what kinds of things can/should you do to minimize the risk of having your gear stolen? Because if you have had your gear stolen, I'm sure in many cases you could look back and say, "If only I had [done this or that] then my gear wouldn't have gotten stolen."

Any advice?

Don't see a lot of these and this one has a nice dark sunburst.

So, I really like the ESP 'See-thru black cherry' color, but they don't put it on the EX. I have no idea why. So, does anyone know if it's at all possible if I can just add a bit of money and get an EX strait from them in STBC, instead of paying the 4k for a custom shop, or getting one and getting it repainted right away? It took me a while to make this in paint, but man it looks good.

Ok, so I recently traded my Ibanez RG350DXWH back to the guy I got it from for his RG F98 series... But I can't use the floyd because I don't know what kind of bar it takes.

I'm confused as all hell.

I outlined what it looks like(Kind of) so you could see, since the pictures are shitty.







I've tried like, 8 different bars and none fit. The hole is like.. a Nut, and you put the bar through the hole in the nut.

Any help on where I could find a bar or what?

SO YESTERDAY I GOT A PACKAGE IN THE MAIL FROM PHOENIX ARIZONA.



RANDY, YOU SURE WERE NOT KIDDING!!! THIS THING IS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!

I ALSO NOW KNOW WHERE ALL THE 'ALL CAPS' COMES FROM, YOU GET USED TO SHOUTING ALL THE TIME THO.



THANKS A MEGATON BRO!!!! IDK HOW I CAN PUT THIS AMP THRU WHAT IT DESERVES BUT I'LL TRY MY DAMNEDEST!!!!


btw...

Road case PRON!!!!



and these 2 sound great together!

hey, i bought a new half stack the other day and just want to know what amplifier foot switch i need, as i cant find any of the same type on ebay. the head has a change channel input and reverb input. i just want to know if i need two foot switches or 1 and if anyone could reccomend me a brand that would be sweet
heres a pic the model is an ashton ga 100:

I remember reading years ago that Vai was working on an orchestra score for a CD...I don't think most won't like it. I used to listen to alot of classical music in college so this is all good for me.

I'd Love to attend one of these shows. I don't yet see a Florida date

==========================================
STEVE VAI: SOUND THEORIES VOL. I & II

Even in a career filled with great moments, SOUND THEORIES VOL. I & II, the double-album live recording of guitar virtuoso Steve Vai and the Holland Metropole Orkest, stands out as a dazzling technical accomplishment, the culmination of a 25-year friendship, and a dream come true.

Was wondering if anyone has ordered a usa Mustaine? if so what color..

I'm looking to black out my ML.Anyone know where to get accessories?

Finally collected my new Bogner, bought an ubercab in the process too. I gotta say I need some major time with the uber, right now I vastly prefer my SE over it but then again the SE has been my trusty main amp for a year now. The cab is awesome, I like it better than my ENGL standard also with the SE, though I must say I also wanna try the new ENGL XL cabs.

A Custom Bloody Razorback, hey if they can have rust i guess they can have blood on it too. i mean the razorback does look like its gonna cut you.

Yesterday I went to the local shop and the salesdood handed me this little guitar. My son was with me and I asked him if he wanted it and he said "yeah". I've been wanting to buy a little guitar for my kids for quite some time. I was thinking about the Dean Babys, but the necks are full sized and I didn't wanna spend $200 for something they might not be interested in. So this one was available for $50, made in Korea, and it played decently and the electronics were fine. I recorded this short clip of me just messin around on a Roland Microcube. The strings are 12s, and the tuning is standard. I couldn't believe the tones coming out of this super mini rig. It's kind of funny.

During the live video of art of shredding in 3 vulgar videos dimes using marshall...what in the world is up with that?

Is it just me or does no one on the forum own a dime o flame, or does everybody just hate the DOF. If you own a DOF, thank you, i mean i feel like an outcast here....

frippin SUCKS!!!!


erg... storm coming in, was about to pickup and start playing again and "KRACKAKA BOOM GUGUH GRUMBLE RUMBLE!!!!!!"


you better believe i got my s#%t unplugged!

<<< not worth the risk!!!

i don't care WHAT the surge protector is rated to or WHAT ever amount it is guaranteed up to (ie some surge bars give you a sorta warrantee on stuff that might get fried if they fail)

Well around the time the VMNT's are going to be coming out I’m planning on getting a new guitar. I was wondering which one would be a better choice, the VMNT1 or the Dean CFH? Which one will I get the most "bang for my buck?"

So again my parents were out yard saleing and they called me and said there was a peavey bandit 65 for 15 dollars so i just told them to get it. So they got it home and it is a Peavey 65 Bandit Solo Series. It is pretty old so i was wondering if anyone would know roughly what year it was. It has a scorpion speaker if that helps.

Zakk (WEEEEEEEEE) Wylde

I'm in the market for a Stoptale guitar. I really want two. I need to make the decision quick, and just want some opinions.

My choices are an ESP LTD EX 400, and the 'Cadzilla' Limited run.

It's like, I can save 580 for the ESP, then get it a week or 2 after I get the $$, or pay a 50 buck commitment fee, then wait a long time, then pay about 750 more. This is one of the hardest decisions in my life. I like them both equally.

hey f4gg0ts,

im going to be needing a new bridge pickup in a mahogany explorer type guitar, it will be for metal mainly stuff like PANTERA and TestAmenT and wat not

so i was wonderink wat shuld i get? ive been thinking of an X2N, are they good with solidstate amps? dont really like emgs and i cant afford very expensive pickups.

http://www.arkansasbusiness.com/article.aspx?aID=98310.98502.110448&cID=c

In its (University of Arkansas') filing, the UA alleges Dean's line of Razorback guitars with names like "Dime USA V Razorback Skull" will create confusion among consumers, the UA "is or is likely to be damaged" and that purchasers are "likely to buy Defendants' products in the mistaken belief they are connected in some way with the University."


Huh? Don't think so, unless they sell them in the school caff... and if their students are that thick at the university, they need better testing.

What a waste of court time.

Any Razorback owners here buy theirs because they thought of the University of Arkansas' when they bought it?

{Insert} sound of crickets {/insert}

Now if it was a Razorback Banjo, THAT would make me think of Arkansas.

my silly little band

welp, last night my band (Thirteenth Order - www.myspace.com/thirteenthorder) played at the South Jersey Music Festival battle of the bands. We won 1st Place and received $300 + 6 tickets to Warped Tour + A show at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. I won the Best Guitarist award so I won a guitar...its an Ernie Ball Musicman/OLP signed by a bunch of bands from Warped Tour like The Used, The Casualties, The Circle Jerks, and NOFX. Not a fan of any bands..but its still a cool prize. It plays alright...its no Dean though. Lol. How much do you guys think its worth?
Heres a pic

and 3 pics from the show

Ok, might be a bit of a noob question I'm afriad but how do people who use more then one amp live play them at the same time? say I have my trusty Diezel and a few years down the line say I bought a Racktifier, do you have to have another cab? where do the wires go man?

Sorry, an explanation would be very much appreciated though

Caught Run to the Hills onward of Maiden's set live from work on a 'borrowed' wireless network from some guy called chuckles! Anyone manage to catch it/anyone else a giant Maiden fan?

First person to watch Iron Maiden live from a Pizza Express office/staff room? I hope so!

Hallowed Be Thy Name!!!
Shame I couldn't make it this year! Bruce said (well, hinted) that they'd be their doing a mock Powerslave tour next year! Excited!

this clip has some cool angles of the new Dave Mustaine sig. (which is a flippin sweet guitar)

Anyone know where I can get a custom made truss cover to suit a Caddy?
Kinda after something in gold with engraving for a Zakk Wylde Custom project I'm thinking of doing.

for 10 days in july im going to china on a music tour with my school and im not sure what i should do about taking my guitar. ive got two options, hopefully soon to be 3 if i get it in time, they are: ltd ex-400 (solid bridge), dean FBD ML (floyd), and an esp horizon fr-ii (floyd) which im hoping ill have in time. out of my dean and my ltd i'll probably take the ltd because its lighter(10kg compared to 11kg in a hardcase), but if i get the esp in time i'll probably take that because its far lighter than both of those two but i dont know what happens to a fully recessed floyd:

does anyone have any experiences travelling with a guitar that has a floyd? does it need to be re levelled when you get there? does the truss rod need to be adjusted? will i need to restring?

thanks to everyone who replies, all input will be helpful

This guy says he can build a guitar to your specs made from obsidian, the stuff that forms when magma cools. If he could make it a lil more clean than the guitar on the opening page that would make a pretty damn cool ML. What do you guys think of a guitar made of rock?

http://www.rocksolidguitars.com/

suggestions of what to do for a Razorback. just give me ideas of what it should look like... give me a pattern, or something blue, stuff like that. thanks. i can't come up with design ideas on my own.

I was asked to do a custom guitar so i'll post it up. the pick-ups are kinda crappy, but whatever.

What made Dave come to Dean? I think that it's awesome, I was just wondering what made him look into Dean, cause he seemed happy with the ESPs.

Come on. You guys are killing me. My favorite Deans are the Cadillac, the Z and the SplitTail.

One of those is not an import.

PLEASE!!!! For the love of God!!!!

Do you think its better to learn songs by tab or ear?
I usually learn songs by tab, but I'm trying to learn some stuff by ear now

And I want it to be a Dean. First, however, i'm going to get that '79 V i've been wanting. Then, I want a single coil pupped Dean. An Avalanche possibly? How often do they pop up on Ebay?

Hello everybody, I just thought I would post some pics of my Randall head & cabinet, and see if anyone on the forum knew more about it.

The story of the purchase: I was in the market for a head & cab, or similar amp. Something with enough firepower to do some damage without breaking the bank. I went to all the local guitar stores and pawn shops to see what was available. There wasn't much in the used market, unless you wanted an over priced Marshall cabinet and correspondingly overpriced head. I went to one last shop, and was poking around. All they had were some $3000+ mesa boogie setups. I was poking around, and beneath a huge pile of boxes and promo-material (I think it was material B.C. Rich promo stuff), I saw some wood paneling, and the word "Randall". Curious, I removed boxes, and lo-and-behold, a 4x12 cab, and head with a sign on it, "Make me an offer.". So, I made an offer (I think $300 CDN), which was accepted, paid cash, (I recall having to live off about $25 for the next few weeks).

The head is extremely simple. It has two channels each having its own eq, no dirty sound or gain, and one of the channels has a reverb. I usually get my dirty sound using a boss metal zone pedal used through the effects loop in my GT-6.

I have had it for several years now, and gigged with it many times, doing cover tunes from Pantera, GnR and Judas Priest to Barenaked Ladies and Greenday, and some of my own songs. It has always treated me right, and sounded great, whether I need a rip-roaring metal, a warm dirty blues tone or a clean acoustic sound. On more than one occasion, I have had people come up to me after a show who were certain that I was playing through a tube amp

Anyhoo, enough flabby-fleep, here is the pr0n:









From the photos, the only marking on the cabinet says, "Randall Instruments Inc", Model "E-412", Serial "1005", 4 Ohms

and the only identifying info on the head is :

Watts: 200
Model: <BLANK>
Serial: 5959


I emailed the guys at Randall about it, curious to its year and what-not, but they couldn't tell me much. They said it was from before Randall was purchased by US Music (?? in 1990??), so they didn't have much info on it. They passed it onto an engineer there, who said it might be similar to an RG-180, and passed me this schematic:



But didn't seem too sure of whether it was actually similar, or not.


Anyone know anything about it this amp?

Thanks,

xixor.

I keep looking at the Dean caddy 1980 reissue (just love the series II V head stock). After looking a bit I've found there are to models. One with 2 humbuckers the other with 3. How much more do you get out of the additional electronics and is it worth the few hundred extra? I play a bit of def leppard, motley crew, kiss, Iron maiden etc when it comes to my electric. Here is a site with the 2 pickup model

http://elderly.com/new_instruments/names/dean-cadillac-1980-%282-pickup%29-with-case--CADI80.htm

hey. i recently bought a dimebag fbd tribute ml which i really love to bits but the floyd rose keeps coming loose to where the bar is held and i have had to resort to leaving the back plate of to keep tightening it off. its even more annoying having to undo the bar when you want to put it into the case.

any one got any quick or perminant fixes?

in a recent topic i was given the idea of a Gears Of War Razorback. So here it is:


check out the headstock it says gears of war razorback. i took off the dean logo so microsoft wouldn't sue.

Hey guys,

Well I said I was going to do this a while ago and today I had a little time. Hopefully you guys won't be too bored with this, but here it is anyway. Oh and I am sorry all the pictures are on their sides I have really crappy software for pictures on this computer.

I started playing guitar a little late in life (early 30's) and when I decide that I really wanted to give this a try I decided to save up and buy a good guitar, or what I thought was a good guitar, in the hopes that if I spent enough money I wouldn't give up playing as easy as other things I had started in the past.

Here is my first guitar



This is my USA Fender Strat Plus. It originally came with Fender Lace Sensor pickups, which I still have, but I changed them out with Fender Custom Shop Fat '50's. The sound sound quality to my ears is much better.

The follow are just a few more pictures of this guitar.



I really like this guitar. The neck is real fast and I never really had any problems with it, but I just don't play it much anymore which I will explain a little later.

This last picture shows the locking tuners. I like these, they seem to stay in tune really well and I don't know why more manufacturers don't install them on their guitars.



Ok I then started feeling the pains of G.A.S. and I always wanted one of these for years, so for my second guitar I bought myself a USA Gibson Les Paul Standard Plus.



I really like the flame on the body of this guitar.



This is just a picture of the headstock. Don't know why I took it, but I felt I needed to I guess .



This picture just shows the black back of the guitar. I really like this color combination with the Desert Burst with a Black back, but it damn well shows all finger prints.



I still love this Les Paul, but lately I have been thinking about changing out the humbuckers, but that is a project for another day. Anyway now it is onto another guitar that I have fun with.

This is my Taylor 615 CE (I'll explain why it really isn't a CE even though Taylor says it is) which is my third guitar.



This guitar has a Sitka Spruce top with curly maple sides and back. The sound is very crisp on the highs and it has a nice deep low end. The body really allows the sound to project a long distance. Now many of you that might own Taylor's know what the CE stands for, cutaway and electronics, well this 2000 model doesn't have either and I think I like it better that way. I had contacted Taylor Guitars to ask them about this and they said that this particular guitar was probably part of a special order and it was suppose to be made with both, but never was. I think that is bull crap, but I still got a good price on it and love this acoustic. Here are a few more pictures.



Though in hindsight I should have taken a better picture, but the headstock is actually three pieces of wood glues together with this laminate top. The workmanship is seamless, and the neck on this is wonderful to play on.



OK this next picture really shows the curly maple back of this guitar. Also notice that it is a three piece back. Taylor is no longer doing this and I am not really sure why. Still I think this makes this guitar unique.



The back and sides of this guitar really match up well.



OK, by now I am sure a lot of you Dean Hardcore enthusiasts are saying "why the hell is this guy posting all these non-Dean pictures on the Dean site, well wait a little bit more and you will see.

This next guitar I bought when I was offered a "deal I really could not refuse". This is my Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman from 1990.



This guitar is a dark brown guitar with an ebony fretboard. I actually like the sound/tone quality of this guitar better then my Les Paul. Here are a few more pictures.



This one shows the back of the guitar (as you all can tell). The neck on this I find really nice to play on. The neck is smooth and as of yet has not given me any problems.



OK, the reason I included this picture is to show the width of this guitar. A lot of players don't understand that this guitar is really this thin because the sound is really deep. To be truthful, I bought this guitar because I always liked the group the Sea Hags and this guitar sounded close to the sound I was looking for (I know they played ES-335 but this guitar at the price I was given could not be turned down).



Alright I went a few years without buying anything new when I got some bad news last year concerning my health. I will not get into that, but I did something that really pissed my wife off, but made me feel really good. I bought this.



This is my USA Dean Hardtail. I had always wanted one ever since I saw the first pictures of them when they were first released, but could never really find one around where I lived. I finally decided to buy one site unseen and I am glad I did. This did lead to a small problem in that I have almost stopped playing all my other electrics now. I have really found utmost enjoyment playing this guitar (but I still suck at playing guitar) and it helped me out in some bad times last year by allowing me not to dwell, at least for some short periods of time, on my medical problems.

Here are a few more. Enjoy.



This one didn't come out as clear as I would have liked, but it does give a good picture of the ebony fretboard and the inlays (well at least a blurry picture )




This shows the back of the guitar. Sorry if a little streaky, but I just was playing it and thought I wiped it down good enough, evidentially not.



I love the weight and the way this guitar feels when I play it. I really love my Hardtail which was my first Dean but not the last by a long shot.

A few weeks ago I bought this guitar. It is an import, but I still like the way it plays. I might not be real fond of the sound of the humbuckers, but that can be easily changed.

This is my Dean Cadillac. Though an import it has convinced me to save up for the USA model, which I hopefully will get sometime in the near future.



This next picture is a mistake by me, I kind of washed out the D in Dean but at least it shows the headstock real well.





Oh and to end this little post of mine, here is a picture of the real Tuckerpig and the white Cadillac.

I've had repairs done and custom pickups put in several guitars, but I still don't understand what the "blades" are. I just tell the guys at the shop to put them in backwards. :\

Isn't it like, hot blades face away from each other, or something? Can someone clear this up for me?

How does your caddy compare to your hard tail? I already know I like the hardtail. Only one i've tried that I like better then my Icon. Are the necks and playability similar? I got small hands and a jacked up left wrist and slim neck is something i gotta have. Thanks

if anybody would like me to do a custom guitar for them let me know, i'd be glad to. i have done other custom guitar projects. if you look around the forum you can get a look at a couple.

There is one used at the local shop, anyone heard of them?? it looks pretty sweet. sorry no pic

Does anybody have any recommendations for any pedals? please help me out here.


i need like a distortion pedal, that kinda has a punch to it if you know what i mean... like a tone that gets pushed to the edge.

i left this little bit on their news page, idk if it will make it, but i wanted to make fun of some of them, and maybe get them a little bit pissed... s#%t pisses me off


Erlanger, KY. In recent events, I have read the article that the University of Arkansas is SUING Dean Guitars for having the "Razorback" guitar line. The people at the University of Arkansas are idiots, seriously grow up, a guitar company will not damage your image. In fact, having the razor back name will boost your image in the heavy metal community, because it seems like you are supporting Darrel "Dimebag" Abbot, but you didn't think of that now did you? of course not, you just want your frippin money. Seriously, you'll make more money trying to get on the heavy metal world's good side and supporting the name and the guitar, rather than to say "we get all the profit" now on the other hand, you bastards are just greedy and want to make money, thats what car washes are for. Now please get over yourselves and get a life. There was no damage to your school, the damage that was done to the school, you did to yourself, you have given yourselves a really bad name, and i know of no kid that would ever want to step foot on your premises for any good cause. I really was an interested student in your law program, however now that you are suing a company that is trying to carry on the legacy of a man that was brutally gunned down in cold blood who was just doing his job, no. You all are ignorant wastes of space, seriously, you should just back off because you all are getting yourselves into 10 kinds of below 70 IQ type you have never seen before.


now please, lets give them a thrashing and a bottle of pills they will never forget

i'm going away at the end of the week and i don't know if i should take my guitar along and if i'm gonna have enough time to play it. i mean i don't wanna cram up the car but, what if i have a thirst to play it?, it'll drive me frackin crazy!


screw the acoustic i mean the electric. my avatar is taken in the same place as this.

in a recent post i was given this as an idea. thanks to Warlock_340 for the design.



i then transformed it into this:

Hi:

Anyone played a Black Gold Z?

pretty damn good actually.

explains alot of why tubes sound so much better then SS especially when recording, and why they sound "louder" also.

THANX STEVE BRG~~!!!!!!

At DOA this year Dean Z was showing us THE most beautiful finish I could ever want. The front was an interesting version of Tranz Brazil, and just look at the sexxxxxy back!!!!!! So light, and SO RESONANT!!!!

I need a lighter ML, wouldn't that be SWEET!!!! SCHAWING!!!!!!!

I hope so..that has to be the coolest Explosion paintjob I've seen on the imports. I know the fixed the `burnt crotch` from the initial run to this year..but this looks even more firey.

So, I went to Download festival, then during Saturday about 2 and a half hours before Hellyeah I got a phone call from my parents who were staying in a hotel nearby so they could take me home later.

Well the phone call was basicall to say that Vinnie Paul had just checked out of the same hotel and they spoke to him and got his autograph for me. WHAAAATTT.

I then get a phone call later to say that Motley Crue had been wandering around the hotel as well.

Then later I found out that I had a chance to meet Vinnie Paul and the rest of Hellyeah in the Kerrang Signing Tent. But it meant I would miss most of Machinehead. So I waited for about 40 minutes or more before being told that no-one else would be allowed in as the next band would have to get ready for their signings, Aiden, garrgh.

So I missed most of Machinehead to stand in the heat for nothing, and my parents got to meet Vinine Paul and the guitarist from hellyeah. BBarrrrghhhh, it did give me enough anger to push my way through about 100,000 people to catch the last couple of machinehead songs and get a good place for slayer though.


But seriously, my parents meeting Vinnie Paul arrrghrhhhujot'gyjuu

Here is the Blacked out version!!!

i posted this in the tech section also but i figured more people would see it here and id probly get a better answer.

What exactly do you need to sand down the back of a painted guitar neck? ive read that people have been doing it here lately and ive noticed how sticky the neck on my DFH was. i want to sand it down but i dont wanna do it the wrong way. can someone tell me everything i need and how to do it.

This is a custom Razorback Designed by KingML. I tried to spice it up hope you like it, let me know what you think.

How do you like em? I have one coming in the mail. I can't wait!

After a month of hassle and shizniz, she's finally here.
I need to clean her up a bit though...

Dean Black&Gold and me oldish Dean FBD

ive got an ml79 incoming in a few weeks time and I was wondering how the necks are on them? what kind of neck do they have, v, c, etc? my mlx has a c neck and i love it so im hoping the 79's do too. how thick are the necks?

thanks guys!

I'm wanting to start recording music at home, and I was wondering what you guys used. Is anything better than anything else? Is the $300 stuff really worth $300? Or is the 60-buck cheapo I found on Amazon gonna do me?

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a new guitar. I should be getting a job this summer and, hopefully, should have about $1200 by the time school starts in September. Anyway, there are several things that I'm looking for in a guitar: ebony fingerboard, 24 frets, and a good floating trem. I've been looking around online lately and haven't found anything that is exactly what I'm looking for. I know it will be hard to find an import with all these features, but if I'm going to spend a grand I want to get what I really want.

I've been hanging around the forum for a while and know that a lot of you guys know a LOT about guitars, so any advice at all would be appreciated.

THE ENTIRE THING HERE IN DIFFERENT EPISODES. ENJOY MY BROTHAS. \m/

This is what it looked like before but the varnish began to flake like crazy so it looked really ugly after a while so I stripped it and applied a matte black base coat.


And after that one set I applied "Hot rod Red"

I still need to sand it smooth and polish it but as you can see, it looks really striking.

anyone?

i got some emgs for my razorback , an 81 and an 85 . The dude i traded with had wired up the pickups for the 18 volt mod and just sent everything so i decided i'd try it out . For anyone that says emgs are stale or lifeless , you need to try the 18 volt mod . to me it makes the pickups much more organic sounding, as well give a larger feel to the sound . It seems to take some power away but i think that is because the frequencey responce is spread out instead of very tight which makes precived output from standard 9v seem so high .

anyways i think it is worth it , and i recommend it to any emg user looking for more full organic paf style tone .

Just wondered, much of my early playing influences are derived from him. One of the best blues/jazz/psyche players out there. I am sure some of our older members will remember him. His style is like a very refined version of Hendrix

I stumbled across a Forum dedicated to him and he is actually a Mod there and participates fairly actively. Has a great question and answer section also so check it out. Well thought out site and very informative

http://www.mahoganyrush.com/phpBB/index.php

I emailed him and mentioned our Forum and invited him to come check it out. I would like to see him add to our tech section

Would also love to see him pick up a Caddy or EVO

Do you like 22 or 24 fret geets better and why? Scale size have anything to do with it for you?

Here's a vid of my band from last weekend...I'm jamming the Gold Hardtail, and we're doing Hangar 18. Crappy cam recording, but not bad, I'd say...

IM SO F**KING EXCITED




sorry i just had to let my excitment out some where



i will let know of the progress as soon as i do.







ssssssssssstttttoooooooooooooooookkkkkeeeeedddddddd

Anybody have any experience with this pickup? Thinking about trying one out in a MLF.

A lot of people threw out ideas in a slime bumblebee post i did yesterday, heres a couple requests:

What's the cheapest USA Deans you can get besides the Professional series?

I Picked up this amp the other day, and i need some help with the settings:






does anybody know any sets for the knobs to get a good metal sound? line 6 says they have presets for the 15w. I'm not talking about the computer presets for the 75w and up. one guy said he found the knob presets but that you have to dig through the site, and i can't find any. if anybody has and good knobs presets, please tell me them.

heres the knobs:

When you've damaged your guitar, take it to a professional repairman, don't try and fix it yourself.

I just bought a new wah pedal, Cry Baby from Hell, and plugged a cheap cable from that to the amp. Nothing would come out of the amp so I tested and tested and tested to see what the problem was. About an hour later and plugged the guitar to cheap cable to amp and received an ear piercing squeal. So now I can't test the new wah because I only have one good cable.

I'm only buying good quality cables from now on. Any recommendations?

Is there anyway to record direct with a tube head, such as Engl Fireball to Mic or line in input of the computer.

I'd like to see some import Hardtails and Solteros in lefty. I've been into shredder guitars most of my natural guitar playing life and now I've been looking for other things.

When it comes to fix bridged guitars we really get the shaft. The EVO select looks like a nice guitar and I'll probably buy one soon. But I'd really like a Hardtail or Soltero import.

today i finally went and bought the guitar ive been gassing for. its an esp horizon FR-II, i dont think youve got them over there in USA, but its great

im getting a new guitar soon and it comes with a floyd rose, my string brand of choice is ernie ball beefy slinkys. now, I read a while ago that you cant use ernie ball slinkys with floyds, is this true?

... for my Black&Gold and FBD.

BUT then I found these:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260127086144&sspagename=ADME:B:AAQ:US:1



YAY or NAY?

I seem to forget if there were huge differences between the Bill&Becky ones... I hope they're better than the Dimebucker tho

I have a BC Rich Bronze Series Warlock that I have had for quite some time. It's nothing special, that is for sure. The only good thing about it, being the Seymour Duncan PUPs that I put in it a while ago. This was one of my first guitars, but I might hock it to put cash towards the MLFs I have coming to me. The place I go to will give me $75 for it, probably less if it didn't have the SDs in it. I was hoping to at least get $100 for it, but that might be unrealistic - considering I paid like $200 for it NEW - which was quite some time ago. I also have a regular-ass Yamaha acoustic that I might give up towards the cause as well. This is the only acoustic I have ever had and honeslty, I don't play it all that much. I am not a big acousitc player. I can only get $65 for this one, even though it is flawless - just a bit dusty

Here is my dillema: part of me says "go for it - get the Deans!". The other part me is all "Should I do this? Will I miss these when they are gone?"

I hate situations such as this....

as some of you may know, i was planning on sanding the neck on my CFHDFH cause the neck was sticky. i finally got around to doing it and it makes an AMAZING different. it takes a little getting use to but overall it feels like my guitars twice as good as before.

I think we should all email Dean (or an employee of Dean Guitars) and ask about upcoming lefty models. so that they know we are interested and know that we are serious. and maybe it will give us some good news. after all, the Dean FBD lefty was never advertised.

i don't know when the turbonegro set is, if they have played yet or not, but if someone knows where i can find a video of the set, that would be awesome. TRB NGR is my fav band.

Hey Friends,

Here is a cover of the solo to the Dream Theater song "Voices" off the album AWAKE.

i fyou could have your own custom guitar built from scratch for you or based on an existing model what would you do to it?

i would take a dean ml and have it built with

28 frets
seymour duncan dimebucker in bridge
emg 85 in neck
Kahler Hybrid Tremolo or a OFR with locking nut
white paint job with red blood splaters on the spikes near the bridge (looks as if its been stabbed through someone)
and to top ir all off all the hardware in gold

Roman Guitars Closing

(Port Washington, NY - June 14, 2007) Las Vegas-based Ed Roman Guitars, known as “The World’s Largest Guitar Store,” began liquidating its assets on June 13. This comes six months after Roman sold the business to a company operating area car dealerships. According to Roman, nine employees were let go in May, followed by 13 more on June 13. Roman believes a car dealership will replace his store, due to the potential for more profits.

“I want everyone to know I’ll be back and everything will be made whole,” said Roman. “I am in the process of buying my name back. I didn’t sign any non-compete clause, so I hope to reopen a store, although it won’t be as large as my last one.”

The guy is/was a total douche ....

Schecter Tempest Custom - Near mint condition...about 2 years old
MXR Ten Band EQ - New
Boss Super Chorus - New
Boss Mega Distortion - Small paint scrape on one of the corners
Behringer Ultraroc Amp (30w, bought for $100 used) - New...but dusty. I'll have to wipe it down.

How much do ya'll think I can get for this crap? I'm taking the stuff down there tomorrow to see how much they'll take it for. They usually pay reasonable prices...

Plus, I need the money fast.

Thats right!
I just traded this with forum member grinder:



Actually a pretty weird trade, a blackened EMG'ed Vx + a some cash for this ML Select with a Dimarzio Super Distortion on the bridge, but he's not an ML guy and I'm not a V guy so we're both happy now!
This is an awesome guitar! I actualy like it better than my 79 ML now...

Tks grinder!

How Mutch is a Dime bolt....and what is the Cheapest usa Razorback out there

I heard about this on the radio this morning and I am sorry if it has been posted in the past but I found it really funny.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1254553550156876585

I'm seriously thinking about ordering one.

tonight i was with one of the heads of gibson guitars uk and she told me that epiphone were realising a guitar almost identical to the ml with emg pickups 81 neck 85 bridge and a LFR and its gonna be about £350 to buy in shops

it will be arriving in the uk in november so naturally when i get my hands on it as i always get to play prototypes and brand new guitars before others, i will take pictures and see if its as good as the real ml. you never know if its good i might just get won back XD

Well i got it and had some playing time and its pretty sweet!

The neck feels like any other acoustic, nice and beefy like a dean c neck should. Its a bit thinner than i thought it would be. It sounds great and is plenty loud and I think it would hold its own next to a regular acoustic. Sounds great plugged into my line 6 practice amp as well. Came with a rad v case too...Overall a great acoustic guitar!

Thanks to BRG for the hook up!








mandatory headstock shot

....remember when Music123 was liquidating it's Baby DFH MLs back a few months ago?....the package with the lil amp, the hat, the picks?

...well I ordered it and it's been at a friends place till NOW, and I finally have it!


...and WOW.....lol, just kiddin...here's my 'review'

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR......but I'm sure glad I knew what I was getting, boy!...at the price I paid (100USD) back then, I'm satisfied. This baby needs, and is getting, a MAKEOVER....replacing the tuning head with the chrome Grovers off my 79 MLF, and the BnB's from that same guitar. I'm still pretty impressed with the stock pickups though!

The poster is cool...the hat would have been cool if it had a good shape....it looks good on the shelf, though!

The strap...well it does the job. I ain't puttin' straplocks into this, that's for sure!...the picks?...pretty crappy, then again...they've got DEAN on em, so that makes em cool.

....the guitar is in DIRE need of setup....but the paint job is good. The thing buzzes to high hell, I'll get it going though...and I'll post some fun pics.

I saved the best for last.
That crummy 'amp' they include with it. WOW is it turd!....I gave it away to a noob up the hall, and even HE can tell it's crap. The only usable tone is verrry quiet, on the 'clean' setting so as to use it for scale practice or something....even the 'Dean Wings' logo can't save this peice!!....wow does it suck!

lol....other than that I'm a PLEASED man.

Hey all,

I am flying to Germany to play a big Metal Show next week, and I am looking for a safe way to transport one of my Dean Cadillacs. So far, I have not been able to find a flight case that fits it.

Can someone (please) point me to an SKB or other brand of flight case that will fit my Cadillac?

Thank you so much,

how do you go about getting a job as a guitar tech? i THINK i could do everything required to be one, but i don't know how to go about it.


i can wire guitar electronics, set up a floyd, tune, test cables, make beer runs, handle excess groupies, and i could probably learn the songs in case i had to fill in due to injuries.

My god this guy is a guitar whore!

I have a question for you guys. I've been playing for about 3 years now and have been going to the same teacher except for the fact that i took a 2 year break from lessons (I still kept on playing though). Im in Houston, TX and just realized I have a legend practically living in my backyard... Rusty Cooley! I was pretty surprised to find out he lived here and even more psyched when I found out he gives lessons. So I decided I wanted to go get a few lessons from him since I didnt want to abandon my current teacher due to my loyalty to him. Do yall have any idea what I could go to Rusty for?

Btw, I cannot sweep pick to save my life and was thinking I should go for help with sweep picking but I dont know if that would seem awkward

I bought one on the bay for next to nothing and it should be here next week. Just thought I would get a jump on asking for tips to make this a good player. I know a proper set up will be the first thing I do. Anything I need to be forewarned about?

Thanks!

*For all of you Berserkers out there we would like to inform you that we have parted ways with Roadrunner Records. As we always want to keep you informed, we will let you in on the exciting announcement coming in the near future......

Is this thing based on the '79ri or Black Gold platform?

I just got a Vox AD30VT, a little 30 watt combo amp, as a graduation present, and I could not be happier. This little bastard really kicks some ass. For such a small amp, it really packs one hell of a punch, and it sounds great. The amp modeling sounds really good, and the built-in effects are great. All in all, definitely worth the money.

hey im currently re building my bc rich warlock and that means new pickups.

ive decided on the make of pickups (EMG) and i have decided on the bridge pickup 89 (switchable between humbucker and single coil).

but i dont know if i should put an 81 or 85 or another 89 at the neck. what are your thoughts on the matter as i need to make the desion fast

i will be using it for metal mainly btw hence EMG's

i thought the song was a must play at their shows, i cant believe they didnt play it this year, i mean they picked dead skin mask over angel of death? not that i dont like dead skin mask but i think we all know which the better song is

okay, so those fender OCC (i think it was fender, maybe it was OLP) and fender So cal Speed shop guitars seemed pretty cool. i really wanted to get the So cal speed shop strat just for decoration.


anyway. i was thinking what if dean did a cool guitar for a famous hot rod land mark. like a von dutch dean v with some sweet pinstriping graphic, or an Ed Roth Ratfink ML or something? i think that would be really cool, and draw some attention to dean from a different crowd(maybe not actual guitarists, but even just people who collect that certain memorabilia). i think it would be awesome to see a dean v headstock with a pinstripe crest. .

I don't think i have ever seen a west coast choppers guitar. i bet that would sell like hotcakes.

i got the 2007 catalog and the HWS had a HIDEOUS headstock, now i saw one and it has one like the VMNT and Rusty sigs. when did this change?

Hi guys,

I just finished helping a very good friend and musician. (also a member on this board and owner of a slime razorback)

We would really apreciate some feedback as we are going to add bass and vocals, first we just wanna know what you guys think.

For now the keyboards are midi and the drums were done in Acoustica Beatcraft wich will also be replaces with real tracks.

So if you could take some time to listen to the first song "Animation" and let us know what you think, positive or negative it all helps.

Also if you like what you hear please add the band!! There is much more coming.

Thanks,

Went and checked out the caddy reissue (2 pickup). The tone just wasn't there for me. Tried it with several amps From $2000 marshalls to $175 crates and just couldn't get my ears around the sound. The body was actually smaller then my Icon which I didn't expect. So I'm like now what? I've never been a big fan of the V body, but they had a few and I give them a try. The big surprise was a Black Gold V (several hundred $$ more then the caddy). I plugged that thing into a cheapy Fender frontman and the sound was very impressive. Clean and silky smooth tones. Problem is i'm looking for more of a blues style sound because that's what most of my buddies are playing, but my ear loves the 80's metal sound and the black gold V was right up my alley. I just don't want to spend almost a grand on something that i'd just be playing for me in my den (well at least i don't think so). What Dean is comparable to a tele or just more blues orientated? Or is there another amp setup that would give my Icon a better blues tone? Thanks

sorry guys but my last post about this got 1 comment basicly saying why lol and its decision time tomorrow

I think i remember someone on here saying that they used black shoe polish to stain there fretboard to make it darker. I want to stain my fretboard on the guitar i turned into a project. i want it to look like an ebony fretboard, so is black shoe polish a good thing to use or is there something else i should use?

Has anyone installed these or played a geet with these in them? I'm looking early on for pups to throw in to Cadzilla, and this set caught my eye. On the Duncan site, it says the specs are based off the JB/Jazz, but how close are they to them?

I was bored, and came up with this:

let me know whatcha think.

atm I can only play 3 solos, nothing else matters (metallica), the second solo in like light to flies (trivium) and come clarity (in flames). Ive never tried focusing on solos, more rythmn stuff, but I want to be able to solo well

anyhoo how do you go about progressing to faster stuff? i use guitar pro to learn songs and i basically play through the songs, see how they go, and mimic on my guitar, but with super fasts solos I cant keep up, when it starts going diddly diddly diddily waaahhhh, da di diddly diddly diddly whhhooooooo etc etc etc im lost

any help/advice?

post em if ya got em!












peter steele signature demonator. rofl.

Got bored yesterday. I had a beat up Washburn X series that was all taken apart so i figured id mess around with some paint. i got my brother to take the pickups out and all and i painted it. It dosnt look great but i just did it for fun. i wasnt sure how to paint it so i did the EVH design. As you can see its not done yet, but ill probably get some EMG's to put in it. here is how it is now.



This is right after the paint dried. i just put the neck back on a couple minutes ago but ill post pics of all that when the guitars done.

i've decided to quit doing photoshops, heres what left:

thank you for these ideas, anybody who submitted a request.
NOTE: if anyone would like a custom photoshopped guitar, leave a reply on here, let me know what your thinking of. if you guys would leave some replies i could keep this thread alive so that you guys could see my newer guitars. thanks for your support.

Does he use a totally custom Vendetta or... did he just add the zebra pickups and original floyd to an existing model?

Nothing to do with the post but just saw it on the net cool!!

Ok, so I was in a music store the other day, this store didn't have Deans, but they had plenty of ESPs. All the ESPs have jumbo frets, and wow, can I say how much I hated them? Completely prevented me from doing slides, and just generally got in my way.

I have seen plenty of players say that they insist on having jumbo frets. Can someone enlighten me as to why big fat frets would be a good thing? Because I'm just not feelin it.

My wife let me buy this with some of our wedding money. Gotta love that! Got it for cheap at the GC Memorial Day sale. I've changed the pickguard for a gold aluminum one and modded the wiring adding a tone control for the bridge pickup. I also used 0000 steel wool on the back of the neck to make it baby smooth. All I have left is to block the trem and I'm done. Plays as good as she looks!

A few years ago I stumbled across a piece of Pine which used to be the table of a bar and I made three bodies from it, Lately the first of those three had fallen into disrepair so I decided to fix it up a little.


The guitar as it was before I fixed it up, it had a 3/4 size strat neck and a sole Neck humbucker.


The guitar as it is now, I prepped it for a Tune-o-matic bridge, routed it out for three humbuckers and a full scale strat neck.

As for the "Statement" a friend of mine once told me that all those statements made by stickers on guitars are actually a all "Total BS" and that inspired me to put that line on this guitar.

as a replacement for my Gibson SG. And what a cool guitar it is...

Picked me up a zakk gibby V yes i know not a Dean!

Wassup Guys,

Need a lil bit of help, I know virtually everybody here likes Metal Amps, but I really wanna get a Marshall, I'm Finding it really hard to choose between A Marshall AVT50X and an MG50DFX, anybody here got either and could recomend them to me?

Thanks a Bunch =)

Greg

Thanx to:

Eddie Carlino: When you absolutely, positively have to have a USA RIGHT NOW - he's the man. I was looking into some lighter model Deans lately, and he went out of his way to get me information; he even threw one on a scale to help with my dilemma!!!

Metal Monkey: Man - your contribution to the forum needs to be recognized. I have used your renderings to make design decisions as well as submit for custom quotes. Specifically your recent work REALLY paved the way for a future custom and your images will be traveling along with the order. If there were an M.ost V.aluable M.ember award, I would nominate you immediately!

Steve Parnell - BRG - Limited editions, USA, Custom, Luna, I have bought them all through BRG. Time and time again, an addictive pleasure with each sale ending with another!!!! From squishing into a jeep to hang out with us to scoring an axe out of the shadows of HQ - You're a gem Steve!!!!

WStoll: "You're my inspiration..."

Has anyone worked on the Coltrane classic 'Giant Steps' on guitar? I haven't, but I heard it's a great workout. I'd like to hear from anyone who has.

or anymore anybody would like to throw in
i'm looking for a good metal sound, that high pitches can cut through.
thanks for your help.

the be all, end all overdrive challenge. which is the best?

I was at Guitar Center this week, and noticed a Dean ML up on the wall. It was an import, the Dean from Hell CFH. I'm embarrassed to admit I've never played an ML.

What a guitar!

After 20 minutes or so, I got up, walked over to the other wall and grabbed a USA PRS. Just wanted to make a quick comparison.

After about 3 minutes with the PRS, I had to put it back on the wall.

I think I might need an ML for my collection. I can see now why Dime loved them. The shape and balance are just about perfect.

This poor Dean ML had surely been beaten upon by an uncountable number of kids, and it still played like a champ. That to me speaks volumes about the build quality, the fit and finish, and the durability of the guitar.

So I'm happy to say that Dime's guitar has made me an ML convert.

with something like this

I was looking through threads from over a year ago and I found this. It is a great interview with Dean. There is also something in there most of you probably didn't know, The ML was named after Dean's best friend in highschool, Matt Lynn (Rest In Peace), he past away when he was 16. I knew that before I read this because I personally asked Dean at D.O.A., anyway I thought this was cool to read.

http://www.bill-lewington.com/Dean/articles/worlddean.html

i'm making myself a custom guitar,i realized i make other peoples but not my own so yeah, and i need help choosing a graphic to put on it.
i also need ideas for the neck pickup.
heres the guitar so far:

Anyone else?

(none are mine, this thread wasn't always a post and talk about SB thread, started out as just me announcing my love for Silverburst)
(thanks again Metal Monkey, you kick ass)

everybody who was complaining: i changed the headstock:

let me know what you think.

lol i made this on ms paint and it probably took me about an hour. its pretty below 70 IQ type

This is just sickening.
Nick Sterling. what is he. 8?

For me it was an Ernie Ball Luke I snagged brand new at Guitar Center for 500 bucks. The original selling price was 1800 but they actually had a real sale (not just say they have a sale and sell shite for the same price). It was black metal flake with matching headstock, an EMG 81 in the bridge and two single coils, and an amazingly figured birdseye maple neck with a satin finish. Man that thing played and sounded so damn good it was rediculous! It even came with an ernie ball hardshell case! Miss it sooooo much...

I have a Dunlop JH-1 and love it, but now i'm interested in this one...hmmmm.

...well at the opposite end of the spectrum, two guitars have shown up in a span of a week...first (if you read my review, you know what I'm talkin' bout)...



...ah, the BabyDFH...and that amp...that SWEET amp that just can't be beat!!...

Well anyway I've been in the market for something new for a few weeks and today it showed up....




..nothing strange yet?...



...wait a sec, this isn't your everyday Dean case...what's with the funny handle?



...this is where I should just stop the pics. Yeah, you don't wanna see the rest do ya?...OH ALRIGHT...




















...

I SAY AGAIN....

Uncharacteristically, I'm not going to put up tons of words yet...I just gotta let y'all SEE this baby!...as you could see, after a quick trip to Dr Strobostomp, she was plugged in for about THREE HOURS...Good LORD am I the happiest guy right now.

USA Time Capsule ML F Transbrazillia Burst.....however you spell it, it's just the greatest thing I'VE EVER SEEN....I haven't shown ya, but the back of the headstock is signed by Dean Z himself....YOWSA...

Mainly cause it's mine, I know...but really, I've never seen a guitar this unreal in my life.

I'll do a full blown review, comparison, blah blah yadda soon...for now it's time to go play some more!!! Again, all details will be revealed soon enough (unless somebody knows who the hell this C-Spyder guy is...lol)

Wow...I'm still in shock ....what do ya think?

How good is it? I found one for $55 at the guitar shop here BRAND NEW and it looked really cool. From the research i've done so far, it seems like it's pretty good.

Tep,we got an invite to play at Hellfest July 22,2007 in Fort Worth at the Hellfest with Prong and Omen co-headlining.....I hope that some of the Doa'ers in and around the area can come,I would like to meet you all.We are also working on a video for our upcoming 4th release...Thanks all.........www.myspace.com/alowerdeep

Is there a tone difference between the 5150 and the 5150II?


I know the II adds an eq and another tube?


If my memory serves me right.

I love the tone of the 6505+, but I found a plain 5150 head for $500.



Will I see a tone difference between the two?

Michael Angelo Batio played a clinic here tonight, as always he just blew the audience away. Awesome show, and a great learning experience for sure.


After a few minutes of technical rpoblems with the monitors, everything went incredibly smooth....his cover of Crazy Train/Mr Crowley was just a crowd crusher, and Nuclear Blues just made head brain run out me left ear screaming.

This guy is a true guitar god. pure and simple. It was amazing to get to chat with a personal hero like Mr. Batio. He took a minute to ask what I was doing, and when I told him I was mainly recording for myself, he asked what tools I was using and took the time to snap a pic.


The guy is just as nice as can be, and took plenty of time to sign autographs, and talk to each and every one of us that stuck around....[/img]

http://www.petitiononline.com/lefty1/petition.html

i made this petition about a year ago. i'm surprised at how many lefties have signed. non forum members, and forum members alike.

if you haven't yet, you should sign it.

This was recorded at 3 in the morning and I hadn't warmed up...so I sucked hard. I talk a little at the beginning and I sound like a complete dork...and I also give a shout out to one of my buds, so yeah. Listen. It's dark and you can't see anything as well.

5 More days till i can play my first dean and its driving me nuts! anybody have anything i should try to learn to play before i get it? its seriously driving me crazy...i've grabbed a couple pictures of it. i'm trying to ignore it but i can't also need some help with setup once i get it anybody got anything they'd do to it? like staining the fretboard, or polishing it any recomendations on where to take it to get setup?

Granted, i've played a few that I was disappointed with, but the 2 I own are some of the sweetest sounding instruments on the planet in my opinion and they are so easy for me to play (small hands, wrist issues) Just grips my ass. Sorry had to vent!

If you could have any one Amp (including cab) and any one guitar what would it be and why? Including pedals, pickups etc?

For me it'd be:

Amp:
Engl Powerball
Mesa Boogie 2x12 Rectifier Cab

Guitar:
Custom USA Dean Razorback V
Korina body
Custom finish (white with black bevels + Kerry King black tribal pattern)
Bareknuckle Warpig in the bridge
Bareknuckle Mississippi Queen in the neck
2 volume, no tone

Pedals:
ISP Decimator

Yeah so im looking at a Rocktron Hush IICX on Ebay, and the price seems fair at 51 now, but 3 days left.

So i was wondering, before i waste money if its bad, what's a good Noise gate for the price?

Thanks!

With Queensryche AND Alice Cooper no less!!!!!! Tix on sale tomorrow!!! FOOOK!!! I'm broke AND at work!!!

Hey Guys,

This is my cover of the guitar solo to Steve Vai's "Tender Surrender," truly one of my favorite guitar solos.

Damned if I can remember. Anyone? Please contact me. Thanks.

i came up with my own little crap idea. I'm constantly losing picks and i always end up buying more. please don't rip on my idea, I'm just throwing it out there to help other people. it may sound stupid but what the hell, so heres what i cooked up:
A Princles Can, Hmm....

take the cap off and use it as a pick tray.

sit it on top of your amp and its basically a cigarette tray but with picks

When your done put the pick back. This has Been a DIY Cheap s#%t idea.

ok... i realize trivium plays for dean... but how did they get their hands on dime's washy's?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axqT5yk7hns

@ Local Dean Dealer.

its an old SS Ampeg Head. i was playing it thru a Peavey5150 cab. this thing sounded more like Dime's Nasty Randall Sound than anything i've ever come across. really this thing was awesome!

now for the surprising part...

he'd sell it to me for $120!!!


WTF!!!

I'm new to home recording,i need software that will enable me to make CD's from material that I upload from my 8track.I am looking for something relatively simple to use,high quality and reasonably priced.Thanks fella's.

This is harder for me. It's defiantly not Rico Jr, even though the Vixen and Hellicon are both some serious bad ass guitars. It's mainly a tie between Moser and Rich. The only B.C. Rich shapes I really like are the Warlock, Mocking Bird, V, Widow and Bich, but those are really nice geets. Moser has some awesome guitars too though. If you want pointy stuff go to him, that's for sure. The spawn is a kick ass body, and I must say that PPV has a real nice one. Too bad it was discontinued, but B.C. Rich has the Beast, which is the same thing. But, Moser also has some stuff that I don't like too much. Like I think the BVi looks ok, but the bottom of the points is just creepy and weird. Then the FSi just looks like it's points could break off any second. However, they more than make up for it with the MVi and AUi, and some of their other designs.

So for me it's a tie between Rich and Moser. Plus I have a Warlock so... but it's still a tie.

This would make the BVi much better, IMO.

Easily one of the most underrated players out there...

I took it back to work with me, and took it apart, cleaned it up a bit. cleaned all the dust out, the light surface rust on some of the parts, and cleaned up the vinyl with some lotion stuff we use on leather interiors



I havent gotten to jam on it yet... my equipment is at my friends where we have our practices. TOMORROW for sure though. I have a Boss OD1 waiting to hook up also...
Somewhere down the line, I'd like one of those KRANK speaker cabs, black with the chrome grille to go with it Might even do a little fun cosmetic work on the 5150 head for fun...

Hows it going people! Its been ages since i last logged on, exam stress and all. Whats new? Has Mark got his mew rig of ENGLs? Did Randy get his foot sorted out? Any new LTD runs that arent floyded MLs? Any new LTD runs? I know a few guys had some smoking hot ideas!


Ive missed you guys! Fill me in!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was thinking about laying down a new finish on my dean.

i'm either going to make the whole thing a mirror chrome finish. OR

use this new chameleon chrome from Alsa.



or should i just leave it plain ole TBZ?

I was just snooping around i-toons and was racking my feeble brain for something new to listen to. Couldn't come up with anything so I'm hoping someone here might help me remember a great maybe obscure album that I have forgotten about or a great new one with top notch guitar. I like just about all types of music although I'll skip the cookie monster vocals this time around. So let's here 'em and thanks in advance.

Might be a long shot but does anybody have the artwork-ie the one with the bumkin on the front?

i dont know where to start, this thing looks,sounds and plays awsome. george lynch model esp GL-56.
esp really did a nice job on these guitars and they are a great guitar for the money. they really relic'ed it and beat it up, theres a cigarette burn on the headstock, the pickup cover is really tarnished, its chipped,scraped,scratched,worn, sanded and rusted.

the pearly gates sounds really nice in the bridge and it really matched up good with this guitar, i tried one in the bridge of a les paul and hated it but this guitar sounds 100% better, its not light but feels really solid, the fret work is excellent and the neck shape feels good, its a thinner neck than the other lynch models and its not as wide either. its really easy to play and feels smooth. and this guitar is really resonate, when you play a note or strum a chrord the guitar really holds it notes and you can feel the string vibration up the neck. ive owned a 56 custom shop strat and a 60 and neither of them played or sounded as good as this guitar. the single coils sound really good in the neck and middle positions, its got a 5 way but i personally like the neck and bridge tones the best. classic rock,heavy rock, country, blues, or metal can be played on this guitar and sound good. its got a alder body and maple neck which is my fav woods for this type of guitar. locking tuners were a nice touch also.
im really happy with it and i plamn on keeping it a long time.
its a keeper along with alot of my other guitars, i dont sell guitars all the time like i do amps, i only have a couple that i use to try out other guitars once and a while then sell to try something else, but this is going to be with my others that i dont sell. i bought it from pharoah at world of string and he gave me a great price and threw in some free stuff too, so far hes the best of all the esp dealers i bought from ove the years.
sorry if it wasnt more detailed.
PICS ARE IN MY SIG BELOW.

Has anyone tried the Hughes & Kettner Switchblade amps? I've watched some video clips and was really impressed.

Done by Me in Paint.

A picture of my new 5150..a crappy cell phone picture in bad lighting.. but a picture none the less




So i finally got the plug in my new amp and try it out. IT KILLS!!! I cant describe the way it sounds to my ears, such a major improvement from my marshall.. I LOVE IT. I didn't get to experiment with the settings TOO much, but it definitely frippin ROCKS.

Silly humans. Cool looking guitar, but at least learn something about the product you are trying to sell.

At my Kid Brother's birthday I decided to rock things up a little playing my self made double neck guitar.

Just a quick one to say "Thanks Folks" to the fine people in the parts department at Dean H.Q.'s. Especially Scott and Bill. I broke the tremolo on my favorite Icon and they hunted the needed parts down and are getting them to me in my time of need. I appreciate it VERY MUCH! Elliott has assembled himself one fine team, down there. Salute!

hey,

I was just wondering how people came across dean guitars (and ill try to start a thread that isnt moaning about lack of imports).

Most folks think that since i like Dimebag, i got into the ML thru him, but nah, i saw one by chance on google and loved the shape - for me, that was THE shape to have a guitar in.

After months of ebay searching, i finally came across a lefty ML custom from the US going for $999. Much hard graft later, i owned the guitar, and my god, it is awesome. That started me on the Dean appreciation bigtime.

Now ive just ordered a custom RB. I cant wait, it'll be my 2nd Dean, and man, im drooling at the thought of playing it. The prospect of owning an ebony neck is awesome aswell, ive dreamed about playing on one after trying my mates' right handed jackson Rhoads V with one - its like as smooth as glass, so awesome.

I was just wondering how everyone else found Dean guitars - i mean, a few years back they were pretty unheard of to me and my mates, and it seemed like they were unknown in the UK pretty much (still are tbh).

It'll also be interesting as in terms of left handed models on offer in most stores, i find people end up with ibanez gio's and epiphone les paul copies, so you could easily miss the deans...

im playing my DFH import right now and i just noticed that the piece u stick the bar in is loosening ALOT. when i bought it it would just move the actual floyd to do wat i want it to do. now when i push or pull on it it moves the piece u insert the bar only. is this bad? could my floyd break? can i fix this by getting an OFR bar?

* and sorry im a floyd noob* ( i do know how to change teh strings tho! )

thanx guys.

what is the story of the bel aire, and why aren't there bel aire's anymore? they're an awesome shape.

Does anyone have any suggestion for these? I'm looking for a neck pickup to play gritty, overdriven blues on.

I was thinking 11s or 12s, Would this be a big enough gauge?

Well, I have to say, sooner or later I should change my pups. I don't quite know the low down on them, so I could use some recommendations.

I'm looking for a good Bridge/neck pup combo that has very clean sound, I don't care much at all to have anything muddy sounding, but I still want to be able to do nice metal riffs. Any suggestions?

Lynyrd Skynyrd, At the Warren County Fairgrounds in Front Royal, VA. Awesome show, it was just amazing. The Setlist went something like this,

"Workin’"
"What’s Your Name"
"That Smell"
"T For Texas"

Medley:
"Questions"
"Gimme Back My Bullets"
"Needle & Spoon"
"Double Trouble"
"Tuesdays Gone"

"You Got That Right"
"Gimme 3 Steps"
"Breeze"
"Sweet Home Alabama"
"Free Bird"

All in all well worth the $55 admission.
Now I'm off to bed!

The new version of A Tout Le Monde? BADASSITY!!!

Say I buy a guitar of the bay and I wanna get someones small autograph off of it, what's the best way to do that. Looks like sharpie. Thanks guys.

Powerbrakes and hotplates are expensive, so why not just use a Boss GE-7 and put it at the end of your signal chain in the loop, then cut the level down? That theoratically will allow you to crank it up without making your ears bleed to get a sweet tone!

Would it work?

of that hippie razorback i made i thought it'd be cool. so maybe carlino will look at this?? hopefully





if u don't have anything nice to say don't say it. sorry i've just had it with people complaining about what i try to do to help.

I'm trading my 06 Tele Deluxe, for this bad Motherf'er. It's an 05' standard in Black Cherry. Has the burstbucker pros. I won't have it in my hands until mid July, but holy s#%t I can't wait. The top looks great.




Ok now that this craziness is outta the way, I can get around to getting my Cadzilla deposit in....

I've fallen in love with 60's/70's rockmusic,
particular Scorpions(Roth-era) and now I'm
considering building one of those "spaceships"
as a certain someone described the strat some time ago.

But what specs would I be looking at ?

Should I use Alder for the body? or maybe even Ash?
... oooorrr .... possiblyyy ... Maple ala George Lynch ?

As it's a strat, 3 singlecoils seems kinda' obvious,
which would sounds best with the bodywoods described above ?
I'm going for a fairly clean strat tone, but with a crunch

I do have a guitar with a Floyd already, so on this one,
I'm leaving the trem out, focusing more on my vibrato

all opinions are valuable

Let's talk about who you think is the most wicked villian ever to appear on the big screen.

I'll start with Bijomaru Mogami from the Japanese samurai action movie "Azumi". I highly recommand everybody who loves movies like "The Matrix" to watch this one.

Bijomaru is a samurai warrior who mixes terrying skill with vanity, he dresses in all white, always carries a rose and moves as swifty as lightning, his sword doesn't have a hand protector because he doesn't need to defend himself.

So why do I think of him as the most wicked Villian ever?
First of all, Bijomaru sees death as something beautiful, he doesn't strike his opponents to kill them, only to wound them, revelling in the suffering he causes by doing so. The more his victim suffers before he dies the better. He breaks the first rule of the samurai, that honor is more important than life itself. I guess this scene from "Azumi" (the first in which Bijomaru appears) says enough. I guess I should warn in advance that this scene is *ahem* somewhat bloody.

For the last ten years I played humbucker guitars exclusively, using both of my Les Pauls and my heavily modified Tele as my main stage guitars. I also played Solid State amps exclusively because of their durability and sharp tone.

But lately I have had a revelation and after my Marshall MG100 top died, I decided to get myself something serious. So I bought myself a London City "Bulldog" amp head.


The Bulldog is an all tube copy of a Marshall JCM 900. Made for the dutch market only. And it sounds just brutal.

But what I also found out is that my old 1989 Squier Strat "the veteran" sounds better than I ever remembered it sounding before. Through the Bulldog my strat sounds just as growly as meanacing as my Les Paul, the hum and "spike" betraying it's a single coil pickup but I never thought I'd get my Old strat to sound that good. Finally an amp that doesn't make my strat sound all tinny and liveless.


Right now I'm working this sound into my band, it works miracles when used in conjunction with our second guitarist' Ibanez Universe seven string.

How do you guys like your tone for blues? For playing and listening I love a really gritty, dirty, overdriven tone, almost pushed to the breaking point.

I have a 1 watt Marshall MS-4 solid state amp (one of those tiny "full stacks") and with the volume up full and the gain on 2 it gets a great tone on the neck pickup.

I feel like Tikiing.

I went to guitar center today to pick up some strings and they actually had a USA Redwood Hardtail in the store used for $2600



I jammed on it for awhile and am Convinced that I NEED a USA dean.

I have a Razorback two tone and a CFH right now and I'll tell ya, the price difference between the imports and the USAs are that much for a reason. I used to doubt that the USA guitars were worth the several Gs they run for, but now I know better








hail dean!

Does one go about doing the coil tap thingy on the Hardtail Select?

Pull up the knob?

My Schecter has the coil tap thing but i'm not sure how it works on different guitars.

I'm planning on, in the near future buying my second guitar, a Dean ML 79. I've just recently been thinking about buying an MLF for harmonic squeals and what not. I assume you need a floating Floyd Rose for this, does a 79 MLF have a floating Floyd Rose?

So does anyone have any advice or tips or suggestions etc. for first time Floyd Rose users?

im getting a furman pq4 in a few weeks time and it is set to run on 110v power supply. this is no good for me as I live in the uk which has a mains supply of 230v. so I was wondering if it is possible to modify the furman so it can run on 220v - 230v instead of 110v?

Could any one tell me how i could contact Dean about obtaining
a left handed Razorback or Razorback V guitar? I checked to see
if any local dealers sold any Deans and there were no Dean dealers
in my area at all.How can i get a left handed guitar from Dean?

In response to Armitage's challenge to offer up information or topics for discussion........

Your apartment or home is on fire. Everyone is out safely and you've got enough time to grab one guitar.

Only one.

Which one is it?

It has to be a guitar that you currently have in your possession. Which one do you grab and what are your reasons for choosing it over the other or others?

Jim

ps......it doesn't have to be a Dean, by the way

Are there any custom guitar companies that take less then 8 months to receive your custom?? I'm thinking of getting one but I just don't want to wait so long.

Big Thanks to BaddJaxx for helping to ruin my budget plan, this week, with some ?Korina G.A.S. He says Mahogany but looks like Korina-esque to me. YUM!!!, Either way.

Well, I got back in today to find a massive box from FedEx on the porch. After about 20 minutes of unwrapping, I found this inside:


PRS Custom 22 10-top
Awesome top, awesome color, and KILLER pickups. The BnB's are way clear, very quiet, and nice and even in terms of fre
