Anyone out there not own a conventional amp? I've owned a Fender Champion 30 for about 4 years now, which as many of you know is indeed a Lon world record! Anyway, I sold it yesterday in a fit or insanity so now it's gone, leaving me with only a Digitech RP50 to play through using headphones. I figured I'd just finally breakdown and buy myself a little tube amp like I've always wanted, but what to do in the meantime? I found an old Tandy MMS-10 computer speaker system a while back at work and it's been sitting in my office doing nothing. Tried using it to amplify the Boss MICRO BR that I had but it didn't sound too good. Well I hook it up to the RP50 and Holy Cow! This thing gets about 90% of the tones of my little Fender, which is pretty darn good! I gotta say I'm extremely pleased with this little thing. Here's a couple of pics and as soon as I can I'll get a video on youtube just to show the sound. So, anyone else ampless, and if so what are you using?

From what ive heard (a few times on this forum) , Zakk copied the splittail design from dean and took it to gibson. However, while browsing on youtube recently i spotted this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS_v2eARqdo&feature=related

(yes i know its got some japanese/chinese subtitles)
(and for those who are too lazy to watch it;)
Zakk said that he designed the splittail and took it to dean first but then said that it was probably gonna be a signature guitar series from gibson. For me, it cleared the confusion up a bit. But i still think that the gibson headstock looks revolting with the shape of the body. Nevrtheless, it should be a zakk wylde signature dean, because i want a splittail and i like that custom finish of his.

hello, has anyone here ever heard of a 50 watt randall half stack??...i saw it at a local pawn shop the other day...i've never seen one like it...it was a head and a cab, but it was only up to my waist if that...i beleive its only a 50 watt becuz of the size not sure...its rele old...and the cool thing about it is that its covered in a black and white snake skin covering all over the amp...the front dials and back all look rele old...any one have any idea??

just curious what the deal is with black and gold guitars, especially Deans. It seems that to sum up any guitar that one wants that is classy always falls in the black and gold territory. What is it that makes all you guys appeal to black and gold so much?

Im wanting a new 7 string, im simplfying my setup getting rid of anything i dont need, so 1 pickup and a volume with a set bridge seems the way to go.

has anyone ever played on of these?

Watch this...

Im all over the jemsite and i cant find the online ibanez jem guitar generator..........i dont want the one from Kisekae i want the one from some ibanez jem site..........can anyone link me? thanks a bunch

Rob

WTF!!! The neck is fatter than Oprah's!!!


I played it thru a 6505 combo.

For anyone wanting to play it, I took some notes.

1) It is quite heavy in comparison to other Deans... it definitely has some weight to it.
2) The shaved heel is truly innovative on a Dean... in fact every Dean from this point forward should have one. It's really, really, really nice.
3) OFR! Huzzah! Thank you Dean!
4) The fretboard looked like Rosewood to me, the guitar tech there agreed it looked like rosewood... not sure if it is ebony, but it really did look like Rosewood - and I have Ebony on my VMNT and there is a noticeable difference.
5) Only a single volume pot, I liked it.
6) Pickups sounded good. Lots of bite. Sounded a bit sterile but still quite warm.
7) Fk'ing fat neck. Lame imo, it's like a Gibson baseball bat.
8 ) I thought 24 frets on 24.75 would suck ass, but it was fine. Easily reachable, the shaved heel made it an easy application.

The Floyd was set up poorly and the pickup heights were way off, but it was a nice playing guitar. Interestingly enough, I couldn't get a Trivium tone out of it as easily as I could from my Razorback or even my VMNT, but it may be due to playing inside a music store and not at home. Steve's wanted 1299 for it - slightly more than a Razorback. (Price in Canadian Dollars.) I don't think I would buy it because the neck is... not my thing. I like thin necks or V necks, not Peter Griffin necks....

did epiphone start making quality products ?

check these out. even a $400 guitar with a original floyd rose on it. Not even a $200 upgrade like we're used to. black hardware too not this crappy dull chrome stuff being passed off as black these days. Im sure the guitar is crap but this lespaul and sg look decent.

I purchased a copy this week and ripping for my iPOD right now. Killer stuff for the fans of heavier guitar instrumentals. No bad vocals to get in the way on this one (Although I do like Nevermore and Dane's voice.)
Only complaint is the typical one of a lot of todays metal productions.....drums are way too clicky and loud in the mix, especially when played at low volumes (like how this going deaf older fella tends to listen to music.)

EDIT

the song Jato Unit is off the CD if anyone wants to take a listen.

PM me I got a question or two...

All praise the South Park Jammies... All others = EPIC PHAIL!!!!!!! Look at the flame on my dresser!!!

So the cat is out of the bag I guess. Yeah that is right folks. I am getting married on Halloween to Andrea, my fiance'. We are getting married in Vegas and are staying at the Hard Rock. This is guitar related because I get to go to Ed Roman guitars to play around. Andrea insisted that I go, so I won't let her down by saying no! LOL Anyway, if any of you are in the area and want to say hi, please let me know. YAY ME!!!
Here is some pron of the love of my life. The best part is that she rules more than most girls because she does tour management and marketing as her career. So I got the right one this time!!! LOL

i've been busy lately, and after doing my daily pop punk band practice with a gibby sg i finaly sat down with my razor v for the first time in probably 2 MONTHS! and all i could think was, "wow dean guitars rule!" got the lisence plate on my car, and necklace i wear every day, and i'm on here all the time. but i had just forgotten how awsome dean guitars were, so i just wanted to say...

I can't find the post now, but I remember somebody asking about wiring up 2 pickups so that the 2 volume pots worked independently instead of either one turning down both pickups. Well I found these:

Hey guys, Darrell Roberts has the longest fingers konwn to man. he makes anything he plays look easy!

Now i know that there is a lot of five finger death punch haters on the forum, I for one like them so kiss my balls if you dont! its a great vid either way, as hes a guitarist, this is a guitar forum, and i think that its pretty cool to see new people playing new ("errr thats not new") stuff!

I think I like them more because Zoltan Bathory is hungarian as is my background!

Well I redid my ML again lol. I filled in the rhythm pickup hole, the switch, and the volume/tone knobs.



Is now this lol.





Not the best job ever. Looks great from a distance though lol.

Still need to choose a pup for it.. and I know idea where to even begin.

You can see where the rhythm pickup hole is.. but whatever. This was my first major project I have done. Still has potential for another job another day lol.

Those of you who ride trains to gigs are now much safer!

Dressed as a monkey, Acchan Miyan - also known as Gudde - capers about at the Charbag railyway station in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, to scare away the troublesome creatures.

He said: "There were many monkeys here. But all of them have run away. I can't see even a single monkey here. There were thousands of monkeys here.

"People warned me that I will be eaten away by the simians. But I scared them all away. If I stay here for one week at the station I will scare away all the monkeys."

"There used to be many monkeys here, who would indulge in all kinds of mischief."
"At times they would snatch away bananas from passengers."

(I didn't write this) But HAHAHAHA!

Welcome to where sound is ill
No one hears but mixes still
Volume is full, never seems to change
Just mastered mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see dynamics in my sight
No bricked walls, no waveforms barred
No sounds to make my brain seem scarred

Hear, my friend, the GH3
That dream is my reality
They found in Rick no sonic mage
But absence makes him get his wage

Clippatorium, leave me be
Clippatorium, just leave me alone

Full blast all tracks of songs on there
Sound cannot breathe the open air
He whispers things into their brains
Assuring them of what's insane
Gregs head is clearly up Ricks pants
"artistic choice" brings ripping plans
Make it loud, it will sound well
It's in your face, what James will yell

No more shall they phone mixes in
Listen, damn it, DM sounds thin
Don't hear a thing, but fuzzing well
Music great but clipping hell

Clippatorium, leave me be
Clippatorium, just leave me alone
Clippatorium, just leave me alone

Fear of listening on
Distortion gets relentless now
Bleeding in my ear
Got some pause to do
Loudness strikes back hard
Sheep, it's an annoying herd
Getting in our way
For hearing things again

I know many of us have favorite guitars. Guitars that you'd never sell.

But what if you had to put a price on them? It's easy to say 'I'd never sell', but how much $$$$ would it take?

My two-tone blackened Soltero is my favorite guitar. I'd sell it for $15,000. No one would ever pay that much for it. Not even close. I'd like to say 'I'd never sell it', but if some insane wealthy person said $15,000, I'd take it.

so im trying to put my LP together again and im stuck im tryin to wire the old iceman pickup directly to a volume put but i don't know what to solder where. the wires are different then on the seymour duncan


Black white and red wires. red the smallest black the biggest

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1y925ubcQPE&feature=related


Dunno if that's a repost, probably is - but it's some bands tribute song to the Man himself. Quality stuff!

Topic title says it all, I'm looking for something out of the usual EMG/Duncan/Dimarzio stuff. Tried just about everything from them, absolutely love the J.B. I'm looking for something a little more gritty than that. I've been looking at the GHS crunchy rails or whatever, maybe some bill lawrence pups but I'm not really into custom ordering stuff like that.

Oh and before I forget, the pickups are going into a 79 MLF with an original floyd. I play through a valveking 212 and play mostly thrash metal.

Got a new camera, was bored, feeling arty, my Floyd is disgusting...

Enjoy

I made this video through crappy computer speakers. They were 19.99 seriously. the tone is pretty warm and ballsy. Sounds great in the same room. This is one sweet pedal. The proof is in the tone and definition. Sounding this good through crap speakers it would be a monster through a PA.

This guy looks JUST LIKE Cliff Burton. Plus, he's playing a Dean '79.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OhbuDW389o

Can't imagine how they would've sounded had Cliff not died. R.I.P.

me and my friend were talking about this today
so i was wondering what you guys like

i personally love Seymour Duncan invaders and the jb

Looking at maybe purchasing a multi effects pedal, but not sure witch one to got with, I'm interested in the Boss ME 50, but are there better ones out there, and I'm looking for something somewhat easy to use. Any opinions, soundclips, whatever you might have would be greatly appreciated.

Do they make a USA razorback 255
24 frets 25.5 scale.

atleast 24 frets, with 24 you not only have 2 frets, but because of the extra 2 there is a larger cut away giving more fret acess to the others. I only mention this because i didn't want to hear a bunch of people screaming at me that you don't need the 24 frets. i understand that.

25.5 scale would be nice, but i'd be okay if they make a usa 24 fret with 24.75 scale kinda like the new trivium guitar. but that thing is ugly and has no fret markers.

any pictures if anyone knows they make usa 24 frets.

Alright guys (and girls!) Last night i got my soldering iron out (!) and decided to have a play with the wiring of my goth V. Its now running as such. Pickups to toggle to one volume to output jack. Dead simple, dead easy, didnt take too long an now it looks even more killer!

Also made a traction knob!

ive gt an x2 stack on the way and have heard that they need to be accessorized to get the most out of them/ ive heard various names isp,furman and a few others anyone got advice im not sure what to expect as ive never had one any help appreciated

I had the most bizarre Dean dream last night.

I've had similar dreams my whole life, but with slight variations.

Here's what it is -

I'm in a warehouse store like Costco or Sam's Club. They have a giant vending machine near the front. I notice they have a beautiful green Time Capsule V in the venting machine for $1.25. It was trans green over quilt and triple binding. It was sharp looking V.

I figure I could use a V and $1.25 is cheap.

So I put in $1.25 but I accidently hit D1 on the machine instead of C1. I end up getting a box of Milk Duds instead of a Time Capsule V.

The weirdest part is that I'm not that upset. I like Milk Duds too, so I'm ok with it.

I think they are cool.

REPOST

We've noticed a recent increase in the number of obvious or thinly-disguised Off Topic threads. We've tried to moderate this Forum as minimally as possible, but this is one of the specific areas that has previously been addressed. The deletion of the Off Topic section of this Forum was in direct response to the increase of threads that were completely off-topic and spiraled downward to nothing of benefit for anyone.

There are many other websites devoted specifically to political discussions and other topics other than guitars. If you wish to publish your views and discuss them with others via the internet, we suggest that you use those Forums for those topics. This Forum, however, will stick to topics on guitars and music.

Please send us a Private Message if you have any specific questions on this matter.

Thanks.


Question: Why is this a REPOST?
Answer: The first one degenerated into name-calling and a revisit/debate on the removal of the Off Topic Section.

It is not surprising.

This little thing acually sounds pretty good.

Ok so the initial excitement has worn off and I have had a chance to really sit down an fully evaluate the Splittail. I have come to the conclusion, that unless this is a total fluke, Dean has finally got it right on the imports. If they have implemented new finishing touches to all the new imports like they did on this guitar? We have a VERY bright future in store for us. Here are a few more photos I took of the guitar. The first is just for fun, but look at the one of the frets. Do you see how the binding actually covers the fret ends? That puts an ends to sharp frets as well as the high E string from getting caught in the frets like on some of the older models. The next photo shows you where the wood on the body joins the pieces for the SG wings, which is also used for the end of the V wings. Do you see how clean and even that is? You can hardly tell there are 2 pieces of wood joined there. Anyway, hats off to Dean. If I got lucky and got a fluke then I am lucky. If this is how the new ones are being built, then we all got lucky.

http://www.seymourduncan.com/products/electric/humbucker/alternative_8_s/Looks very interesting...

i'm doing a presentation in my public speaking class on Megadeth vs. Metallica. i'm just running this poll indefinitely so if you guys would give your honest opinion that would be great, and then once you vote if you could post your gender and age i would be very appreciative. Thanks everyone!

Pretty neat stuff

I don't think I've ever played with a guitarist who didn't list this Texan as an inspiration:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwhUjFoHwS4

He would have been 54 on October 3rd.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=598816&songID=6940227


What to improve in your opinion? I know my playing needs some improvement but what regarding the guitar tone, rhythm and leads?




Here's the old clip, same song:

Thanks for yer time

...since Dean doesn't make microphones or USB audio interfaces




I'll be posting clips and a full youtube review of the M-Audio and my Jackson. Stay tuned!

just wondering what you guys would reccomend. not really feeling the carvin pups in my koa dc727.

what would you guys reccomend? im kinda looking for something tonally thats similar to a tremonti bass and treble if thats possible.

i just dont know much about dimarzios other than theyre the only option i have sort of having my guitar routed bigtime.

suggestions?

I want to add an acoustic to my collection (and need to decide this weekend). I am looking at both the Deans and Luna. I'd love to get the Trinity, but my budget will not take a 1,900 acoustic.

My budget limit would be $650.

So I am opening it up to the experts here, who's expertise I respect and appreciate. what do you suggest?

I've really been getting into them recently for some reason, it's really interesting, it's like Fusion mixed with metal a lot of times. The vocals will take some getting used to, the singer uses a vocal processor to produce what has been described as a "Robotic vocal".

Celestial Voyage (They got booed a lot as they were touring with Cannibal Corpse, and I couldn't see Cannibal Corpses crowd being too friendly with a band that was as that different from Cannibal Corpse.)

Wooooooo I bought a new amp and cab!!! Its amzing! A 6505 and Marshall 1960bv but the only problem is my Razorback sounds very weak and twanky through it compared to my other guitars. I used to use solid state amps and it soudned great throught those but it sounds to twangy and trebely, Maybe a new pickup could solve the problem. I was thinking of a SD Invader

I know there have been topics on the Agiles before, but I need a decent bass to record and I have never heard anything about the Agile basses. They're cheap and look decent, has anyone here had any experiences with them? Thanx.

Wow so i went to guitar center today, cause I relized that i have never played gibsons before so i went, and found a White Gibson les paul, this one in fact http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Gibson-Custom-Shop-Les-Paul-Custom-Electric-Guitar?sku=517110 but in white. Played that for awhile. But I really wanted to play one with EMG's, and the only one that I knew of was in Epiphone Prophecy, but i could not find one. so my brother, said "lets go look at other stuff" so i was like, ok fine. started walking, and OMG there was the prophecy, so i grabbed it, and went and found an amp, Holy S$!% that guitar was amazing, the finish looked so good, Ebony fretboard, 81/85 EMGs WOW. I know its not a Dean, but it was still freakin awesome

Take slight suspiciousness out of the factor and you have a good deal on a neat fiddle! Has anyone else seen something like this before? The price I can cope with.. But it seems a little odd to be selling such a obscure guitar with only one picture.

hi can anyone tell me exacly what model of guitar this is or any info
i think its a USA phantom prototype

it has an original floyd rose..
ebony fingerboard...
serial number stamp on the last fret...
the output jack is on the side of the horn...
i changed the vol and tone knobs

please post any info

thanx

So I entered this contest to win a Dunlop Signature Buddy Guy Wah Wah Pedal, and I just found out that I'm the lucky winner!

I figured if I don't like it I can always take it to the music shop up the street and get store credit. Or I might keep it who knows, But I freakin won, that's sweet!!!!!!!!

So anyone on here used one of these, if so how do they sound?

I have heard that Dean Bought out Hill Guitars and moved to Florida and that is the current Dean Company today.

http://www.hillguitars.com/superman.htm

I have never heard of Hill Guitars but then again there probably is no end to what I don't know and cannot do.

Anyone else ever heard this or does anyone have Hill Guitars. I understand that some of the guys from Hill are building the Deans.

....money is no object.

your band and fly itself to the moon and play if you feel so inclined, that's the budget.


what do you do?

personally, i'd have to do an animated video. i just think they're so cool, and each one is so stylized and unique.

bjork's video done by spumco (the ren and stimpy dudes.)

not to mention tenacious D's video for "%$#@! her gently"

i love the John Kricfalusi style.


of course, on the less "cartoony" side, there's pearl jams sweet video for "do the evolution" EASILY my favorite music video of the past 10 years. it's got everything a guy could want in a video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FoNmNmXExZ8

it's like the welcome to the machine video had a crazy 4 way with the "the wall", "akira", and "the matrix" and do the evolution is the resulting bastard, and you're never quite sure just who fathered it. McFarlane is the man, and though he got more acclaim from the korn video, i think do the evolution is at least 10 times better. it's one of those videos so good that you'll actually buy the album based on it.

and who could forget tool's video for sober?

As a bass player, I really need to stop buying all kinds of guitar gear Carl Thompson is in the process of hand making 10 to 12 "semi-frills" 4 string basses for $2750 each. 32 or 36 inch scale
fretted or fretless. Has anyone here ever played a CT bass? I'd love to know what your thoughts are. As a bass player who appreciates the look of natural wood, great sound, and grew up listening to Les Claypool..., it has been my wet dream to own a Carl Thompson bass.

And are having the new singer redo the vocals. huge wtf. waste of money, waste of time and totally disrespectful to the original singer who passed away. homage my ass. please discuss.

coming soon (end of the month,

gonna customise a cruddy sub £200 guitar and make it brill

guitar in question ESP LTD H-50, improvements are gonna be, swapping the master tone for antoher volume so there'll be 2 volumes. new bridge ( Schaller LP trem) new tuners (Sperzel locking, new pickups (X2N bridge and Hands without Shadows Neck) and new potentiometers, gonna completely re-do the wiring and gonna include a little pic of sonic the hedgehog just for kicks lol

So I have a Marshall microstack, and i'm wanting to get a better amp, I had an idea, but i dont know if it will work, maybe you guys can help me.
So my plan is to get 2 20 watt speakers to replace the 15 watt speakers i have now, and get a Krank Rev JR 20 watt head. but. Its a tube head, would i have to get special speakers? is this even possible? do i need to replace the speakers?

Thanks

Chris

K, seriously, is there some sort of like... magical insight that's required to be able to write a harmony that doesn't sound dissonant? I've gone absolutely NUTS trying to harmonise melodies in the songs I've been writing. I've tried 3rds, 5ths, 7ths, millionths, the whole shabang and nothing sounds good to my ear.

The melody uses THESE notes: F#, G, A, Bb, C, D, Eb

Now if I'm NOT mistaken, and please feel free to correct me on this, but all those notes just HAPPEN to be in G minor, right? Everything I put with it makes my ears bleed, so I'd REALLY appreciate it if anyone could help me out.

wow

just freaking wow

if you live anywhere near LA or can get anywhere near LA before the end of November, get to the Open Fist & see the stage adaptation of Joe’s Garage

took the wife Friday night, & it’s taken some time to try to get the words

sad, of course, that what the man was talking about 30 years ago is “so” real now, but

wow

been listening to this album for years, & to see it come to life is awesome

if nothing else--the minimalist staging, the Central Scrutinizer puppet, the sweet band, the actresses, the wet t-shirt, the humor, the satire, the “Peaches En Regalia” outro, & even, if you’re so inclined, Joe’s naked ass--go for the 9 minutes or so when the stage lights drop, & you listen to “Watermelon in Easter Hay” in the absolute dark

a-freakin-mazing

oh, & this show has the approval of the Zappa Family Trust--in fact, Gail & Diva were there Friday

yeah, we're going back a few times

Got to see them on the First at Newport Music hall in Columbus, Ohio. The show was amazing. They tore it up. Anyone else seen/going to see this tour?

I was flipping channels and came upon one of their channels and got stuck there for about an hour. I despise country music but wtf. every video came on for an hour straight had the most beautiful chix. wow so thats how they suck people into liking it.

Taylor Swift, cant sing a note in tune live but wow
Hiedi something, i cant remember her name. definitely milf action
Carrie Underwood, one step away from porn looking chic
Kelly Piclar boing

there were like 4 other chics too. Maybe I chose the wrong style of music to play. Just sit there and strum G major chords and play major penatonics. The scenery is nice over there but the music is obnoxious.

Hey everyone.I was talking to a friend of mine about pedals,and I told him what I was looking for as far as tone is concerned.I want growling and chunky lows,and lots of mids and gain for tapping and pinch harmonics.He recommended I try out the Digitech Metal Master pedal.Does anyone here have one,and if so,could you give me some info on it,how does it sound etc? Thanks in advance!



-Tom

For a Mesa head?! One site -the only one with US prices I pulled up had all their heads for over $4399! WTF?! I can buy an ENGL and JVM for that!

Im not sure what to make of this, any comments ? http://www.internalcombustionguitar.com/how.htm

i read everywhere that he never played one, but then i coulda sworn that there was a green striped one that was broken that someone claimed he played.

Firstly, I have nothing but respect for the memory and work of Dimebag Darrel, he's one of my favorite guitar players, and Pantera was an amazing band.
BUT! I actually don't connect Dean Guitars directly to Dime...I've always wanted a Dean because of the fact that Iron Maiden used them back in the early 80s.

I thought it would be interesting to hear who else in here chose to play Dean Guitars for reasons other than anything related to Dime himself....comments?

Hey guys,

I've got a small gig at the school pep assembly and I need two songs to play. I can't play like metal or anything to old so does anyone know good popular music from nowadays I could play?

Jake

i was wondering if anyone has tried or has a set of P-90s in a basswood body? i have a basswood warlock sitting around in its gigbag just begging to be have me finish refinishing it, and i have gotten a taste of P-90s and now i want more. so anyone with any helpful information it would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Sorry...

ok my problem is i cant do a squeal i need help please tell me how to do it.

I'm in

on one of my threads where i asked what pickups are what a couple of people liked the guitar itself so here's some more pictures

I want that tone!

i know its low gain, but on my POS avt 20 i can even get close to the harmonizing sound of that 5105.


i cant really get a new amp but i could probably swing a pedal or 2, so i need input. does anybody know what pedals matt tuck has and where he puts the settings on his amp (bass/treble/mids)? i am really totally clueless here.


*EDIT: i was thinking maybe a big muff for that distortion/sustain?

Ok so here is my problem. My band is getting ready to do our first gig at the end of october but my amp is not ready for and gigging. I've got a peavy backstage chorus amp that sound like s#%t when turned past 4. So i was wondering if anyone has an ok metal amp sitting around that would be willing to sell or trade for a decent price. I'm dieing here guys! Can anyone help a forum brother out?

Bohoo, my Dean logos are crooked, that's DBD T in the pic and the same thing applies with DOF. I don't really mind... but thought to post anyway (if there are other like me). Sloppy work Mr. Asian entrepreneur.

Going to see Clutch tonight at little club in CO Springs called The Black Sheep. Been a fan for 15 years and this is the first time seeing em play!

I would like to buy an Isp decimator. I live in texas so shipping in the us.

I have a set of D'Addario 12's on my ml (24 3/4" scale) with a wound third tuned to standard D and it is AMAZING

It feels so much more stable and sounds amazing, but does anyone else besides me use them?

My son's 13th Birthday was this past week. So, here's his cake:



I think he liked it. Big smile:

that's the link, i hope it works,

anyway, it's a union jack razorback, 24 frets, original floyd rose, import, i guess it is 24.75 scale, it looks to be,

but what the hell, is this a limited run or are new imports going to start having 24 frets and ofr

This is what i want but i don't want that union jack s#%t.
it has passive pickups too, i don't like emgs.

As soon as i sell my ibanez and get more money im gonna get a Dean 79MLF in Brazilian Burst, customized with a chrome Original Floyd Rose, a DiMarzio PAF Pro (cream/black with chrome pole pieces) in the neck, and a B&B Bill Lawrence L-500XL (black and shielded in the chrome plated housing) in the bridge. i was just wonderin what you all thought about this setup. also do they make gold traction knobs? traction knobs are very handy, but like the gold knobs better for this guitar.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=106322

i picked this up today from a guy down the street, it was his dads..hasnt been played in 7 years.

its a slivertone, from 68? made in usa
any one have any other info on this thing?

some pron..

Well I trade my Marshall MG100HDFX today for this, and it was still brand new in the box when I got, and sounds great for what it is. Not to mention this thing is pretty damn loud for only being 5watts.

So I give you the Peavey Valve King Royal 8.

I just purchased an NOS Pro Series ML (for $535!), and while I love the guitar, I'm not overly enamored with the stock JB bridge pickup. I'd like to replace it with a hotter, fatter-sounding, ceramic-magnet unit, and the Lights Out looks--and sounds--like it might fit the bill.

As I've been unable to locate any sound clips beyond the one on the Dean site, I'm hoping someone here can provide some real-world feedback. I'm especially interested in hearing how this pickup sounds in relation to the Duncan SH-6B Distortion, which I'm currently using in the bridge position of my other two guitars.

Thanks in advance for your help.

New amp finally came.. I cant say how excited I am... my only problem is I dont have any apre time for a couple weeks to really play it

Anyone have any experience with this guitar, the import LW Sig?

I'm interested in one as both the specs and price seem right to me.
But if possible I'd like to hear some personal experiences with the guitar.
How's overall build quality and hardware?

Do they fit in a generic Les Paul case, or will I need to look for a specific case?

Ok, so for my AS Media coursework I’m making a music/equipment magazine cover, contents & double page spread. Was wondering if you guys could give me a hand by answering these questions, because most guys that use Deans I assume listen to music ranging from hard rock, to black metal. Thanks.

1.What genre of music would you be most interested in buying a magazine?

2.Generally speaking, how much music content when compared to equipment content would you prefer?

3.What type of equipment advice would you prefer to read about? (e.g. guitar, amp or pedals)

4.Are there any specific types of column you would enjoy reading? (e.g. relationships, random internet garbage et.)

5.Would live reviews for smaller or larger band be more useful?

Again, thanks & mock ups for the covers, contents & page spreads will be posted. If you would like to be on the contents page as a subsection (or if you’re in Stoke & could make a photo shoot) just drop me a pm with your band name/website.
Note: Question about equipment advice so i can post here, yay

Here is what my custom guitar will have i know the picture is shite, i don't have photoshop so i just use ms paint to you the basic idea..



1. Spray-painted Sonic logo,
2. Tone control replaced with a second Volume control,
3 & 4. New Pickups, A Tom Anderson HN3 in the bridge and a Dimarzio Humbucker from Hell in the neck,
5. Bridge will be a Schaller LP tremolo system,
6. New neck with a reverse "banana" headstock like on my Kamikaze and a maple fretboard (22 frets),
7. new Sperzel Locking Tuners
8. Spray painted SEGA logo on the headstock

i know that you arent always a dean artist when oyu play a dean live, but the singer/bassist for Kings X was playing a lefty dean bass when i saw them live. i think dean should give him a signature bass cause kings x has been around forever and they are good as s#%t

yea, the show was a long time ago, i just forgot to bring it up.

Pretty snazzy methinks

anyone seen or heard from him lately?

i think he lives down in hurricane territory, no? anyone know if he's okay?

And it's definately the best since "For Those About To Rock", it has quite a few very untypical tracks. From ZZ Top to Led Zeppelin influences, blues shuffle to full out hard rock. Slide guitar to semi ballad it's all there!

I need to know.....

Exoticglass acoustic/electric owners, gimme your thoughts, please. Mainly on the amplified sounds moreso than the acoustic ones'. THNX!

I can't wait to see what the next album will be like. I'm so excited!!

Although I am familiar with the term "porn" when used in the context of sharing photos of our treasured gear, I am not however familiar with "pron".

Is this in fact an altogether differnt term or was it just a slip of the typing finger that has somehow caught on?

Just thought I'd throw that out there.....

What amps did they use to record 'Fabulous Disaster?'

'The Toxic Waltz' is probably the greatest thrash tone i've ever heard.

So I'm thinking of building a guitar, anyone know of any good books out there for help? I have just about everything tool-wise that I think I'd need in the garage, except maybe something for cutting fret slots unless that's easier than I figured. I have a basic idea about how I'd go about this, but would like to read up a bit on how to do some stuff, wood selection (dad owns a hardwood sawmill, so I have easy access to a few different species, hard maple especially), etc.

Now that I'm done with college I'm trying to find a way to keep myself busy this winter when I'm not at work. Figure I might as well build a guitar or three

my MHG ML is in St Paul, MN - ready for delivery tomorrow! expect PRON (as long as it doesn't rain all day like it did today)

Anticipation GAS!

< rant >

Ok guys, idk what you think, but i saw a video of manson in korea with wes borland...

it was shitty, mansons vocals are done and wes's tone was really bad he added stuff that just shouldent be added to a manson song, manson is not really a guitar driven band, if they become one thats different but all the old stuff (excluding daisy's time) was not guitar driven, wes just brings to much too it that isnt needed in a manson song. and pogo is gone so wtf, if i didnt love the old manson music so much i would boycot haha

</rant >

I heard Randy used a Dean besides his normal Jackson, even on wiki it said he used one too. Anyone have any pics of him using one to confirm this?

Only 2 in the U.K. but the shop has been given no info like RRP, and spec etc All we know is that its a Caddy Kill
any VALID help will be greatly apprieciated

gasing really hard for a Black Beauty...


anyone got any pics of their's or playing one?

oh, and I mean GIBSON black beauty's NOT those Epiphones

http://www.thegauntlet.com/article/267/14084/Machine%20Head.html


A New Orleans, Louisiana high school teacher allegedly forced a student to remove her Machine Head t-shirt during class because the teacher objected to the anti-war message that was printed on the shirt's back.

The fan, who posts on Machine Head's official message board, "The Frontlines," under the name "Robyn", wrote in an October 3, 2008 posting, "A couple weeks ago I bought the 'War' t-shirt from the Machine Head store and I got it in the mail yesterday and I wore it to school today. The shirt that says 'War, Lies, Fear, Change' on the back. [see image below] Well, when I got to school today, my English teacher told me I couldn't wear it and I had to call home to get a different shirt. Well, I had no idea, but [the teacher's] son is in Iraq right now. I mean, I know [the message printed on the back of the shirt] has a lot to do with politics and everything, but it's not like I was talking about it or anything. Because they tell us at school that we're not supposed to talk about religion or politics. But half the kids in that school don't really give a s#%t or they're just to below 70 IQ type to know anything.
Did they have any right in telling me to take it off?"

The "War! Lies! Fear! Change!" slogan is based on the lyrics to the Machine Head song "Clenching the Fists of Dissent", which opens the band's latest album, 'The Blackening'.

The U.S. version of the special edition of 'The Blackening' is scheduled for release on October 28 via Roadrunner Records. 'The Blackening Special Edition' is two-disc CD/DVD set that will feature an assortment of extras, including rare bonus tracks such as covers of Iron Maiden's "Hallowed Be Thy Name", over an hour of live performance footage from With Full Force, Download and Rock in Rio festivals, three uncensored music videos for "Aesthetics of Hate", "Now I Lay Thee Down" and "Halo", a "making-of" featurette on each video, "The Making of The Blackening" and expanded artwork. There's also what many hardcore fans have been rabidly waiting for: four never-before-seen performances of Machine Head celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut album, 'Burn My Eyes', captured in Philadelphia in 2004.

Have one and I have not seen to many others around. about to put Pat baker pup and Nastalga neck in. Just cant find squat on info...

does the headstock have to be painted?

formula had a firebrand headstock gibson (either an LP or an SG. think it was a lester), and it looked so freaking awesome.

i wonder if that's available on the MHG series. it looks so clean.

the natural body/painted HS just doesn't work for me.

So, I decided to try these out a while back. 3 weeks to be exact. And am writing a review now, after the fact. I am a "new strings every show" kind of guy and am anti coated strings as Bush is anti stem cell. (I don't agree with Bush, but I needed a reference). So on a whim, since I love EB strings, I decided to try a pack. I was kind of surprised to see them actually. I know they made the coated Acoustic strings in the gold foil pack. So while in GC 3 weeks back I noticed a silver foil pack with the EB logo. Surprised to see they were electric strings I decided to buy a few packs. The first thing I noticed was the price. $9.99 for coated strings? Hmm they can't be that good. I have tried Elixir and didn't like them, plus they cost more. The DR coated strings were costly and flaked all over the place. Cleartone were great but at $17.99 a pack who can afford them? But I digress..... OK so I get home and open the first pack up. The first thing I realized was that these strings don't appear to be coated at all and for some reason the winding around the ball is a different color than the string? WTF? Off to the EB website I go WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
So the lowdown is that the strings have a proprietary enamel that is used as the coating material and it is supposed to Blah Blah Blah (buymebuymebuyme I am better than other coated string BS). Whatever I have heard it all before. Next I read that the ball end of the string is wrapped in Titanium for extra strength to prevent breakage over time of use. WOW OK that is why it is a different color. Anywho, I string my guitar up and stretch the strings out and tell myself.... Self?... You are not going to change these strings until one breaks or the sound goes dead. Now some of you know that EB strings sound great but they don't last very long. I change strings so much that I don't even notice though. So it has been 3 weeks of shows, rehearsals and auditions we have been hosting to find our new drummer. Summary? They are as new as they were the day I put them on the guitar. Shiny and full of life! I am gonna shoot for 2 months to see if they can go the distance, but either way I have found a new string. Anyone else try these?

Yeah its another amp advice thread, please dont hurt me

Basically im looking to downgrade, I have a Peavey Triple XXX combo atm, and its a great amp, but overkill for my current situation (bedroom player). I cant really crank it up too much or i get parents/neighbours complaining (I only crank it when no ones home) so I want an amp I can get the most out of all the time. If I sell the Peavey I will have around £400 to play with, but unfortunatly my local guitar store closed down so im not currently able to go out and try amps. Ive been doing a lot of research and have come across 2 amps that interest me, the Vox AD15VT-XL, and the Randall RG75G3+. The Vox is only around £100, while the G3+ is around £240, mainly because the Vox is only 15 watts while the Randall is 75 watts. The Vox is a modeller, features 11 amp models, 2 clean, 9 dirty, and a variety of fx. The Randall is solid state/hybrid with 1 tube in power section (i think).

Id like to know which amp you guys think I should go for? I need something that has a GOOD tone (not looking for a Mesa tube tone or anything, just something that sounds decent and not crudy) common sense tells me the Randall would sound better, as its solid state not a modeller, i would presume it has the more realistic tone, the price also reinforces this. But how digital does the Vox really sound? Does it sound like a real amp or is it the same as line 6 sort of sound? I already have a line 6 toneport so I dont need anything that sounds the same as that, as imo it doesnt sound that good.

So, Vox vs Randall, please point me in the right direction

Anyone have experiece with this? Not looking for professional quality, just something pretty decent. http://www.zzounds.com/item--LINTPUX2
Thanks
-John

Sure it ain't a guitar but I'm damn interested in one! Someone wanna chime in and explain some stuff to me on them (besides what they're made of, I know that)?

Hey guys, long time no see!!!!! Well my next guitar is going to be the 79 series V in classic black. I will probably change out the pups for an EMG 81 in the bridge and a 85 in the neck depending on how the stock pups sound. i might change the knobs.... anyways, what im asking is that im going to change the bridge and was wondering what size TOM locking bridge fits the guitar. Small posts or Large posts????? also if someone could give me some details on the pups that would be great.
thanks!

ok I have been listening to some good radio rock lately

breaking benjamin

and I love their tone on their songs.

I know they use h&k

anyway I want one

if you have had any experience mainly with the switchblade but any one of em really

share good and bad experiences

thanks

Curt.

anyone here play the MAB1 Armorflame?
or own one?
What are the specs on it?
been seeing alot of different things on online sites
any and all info would be appreciated.

As anyone may have noticed, there is a new Flod Rose original tremolo out on the market.
It's called the FRT-O2000, and it's an exackt copy of the OFR, same materials etc.. only diffrence is that it is made in korea instead.
It says OFR on it, and there is no diffrence exept the price.

Jackson Guitars has already started to use em, and i know there a more comapnys who is on there way, for their cheaper guitars.

My thught is, does anyone else think this is a good idea for Dean to start using them on the imports since they wont likley change to real OFR.

But this would be a great thing to do, no cosmetic dooffrence, and the same performance!!

Thoughts anyone?

This guy started with a regular Vx, glued in the neck and refinishing it silver with a water drop effect. Pretty neato - pics of the water effect on page 18 or 19.

My current worst named guitar is the Hamer Talladega. Hamer makes quality guitars and that model looks like a nice instrument. But everytime I hear that name I think of Ricky Bobby. That was a funny movie though.

Who is the guitar company that names their guitars with the cryptic letters and numbers? "This model is the RX657-9B" Is that Ibanez? Or someone else? I hate names like that.

My favorite name for a guitar is the Iceman.

I'm going to Trivium tonight, and i can not wait. i gotta pack my bags and get my pitting face on, cause this is gonna be amazing. ill def post tomorrow with my reaction to the show, as this is my first outing with Trivium.

METAL!!!!!!!!!!!!

So after being in the motherland of Dean for a couple of weeks, Im finally getting around to organizing and shelving my vast record collection.. I have over 10,000 records that Ive been collecting since I was a pre teen.. Going through them I realized how many diffrent styles and genre's I grew up listening to.. Everything from the heaviest of metal to the smoothest of soul.. This variety in music has enabled me to become a suscessful producer. I came across the first record I ever brought- Kiss alive 2.. Its beat to death from years of gawking at the cover and pics.. But opening that album up brought me back to when music was new in my life.. Great feeling.. What ever plans I had for today are dead.. Ill be listening to these records and getting my pull! Here a couple of pics..

I am/ have purchased a MHG soltero, but i haven't decided which hardware to put on it yet, right now i am stuck between going with black hardware and satin nickel pickup covers, or going with satin nickel hardware, black rings and satin nickel pickup covers. i would really like to hear what some of you guys think about these ideas, i don't want to go with just the standard all black, but i think the black with the satin nickel pickup covers would look pretty sharp. on the other hand however i think satin nickel hardware would also look pretty awesome on the natural mahogany finish.

in no way will my final decision be based soley off this thread, but i would like to hear some opinions from the general populus of the forum. or even better if anyone has some pics of a guitar with a natural mahogany finish and satin nickel hardware if you could post em up i would be forever greatful. thanks

Left channel is me playing with Edwards E-LP85CD and Caparison Horus. BOTH loaded with alnico Nailbombs.

Right channel is my brother playing Edwards E-LP98LTC loaded with Black Dogs.
He recorded two tracks with the same guitar.

The solos are by me with the Caparison Horus. Intro is made with neck Nailbomb and stock Caparison neck pup.

Both used the same patch of my X3 Live which is a custom patch by me. It's a combo of 5150 and Diezel Herbert through 4x12 T75s cab model.

Please, take a listen and comment

Cheers for feedback!

Dean guitars and famed guitar builder/designer Buddy Blaze have teamed up and jointly created a very custom Dean ML guitar that every ML and Blaze fan will desire...

how all these bands on myspace are creating killer flyers. I cant find any creators or generators for it but alot of bands seem to have nice flyers , some even have the same flyers.

Does anyone have and idea of how long the set-list Slayer usually play is? I really want to see them but I don't know if it'll be worth the money and, no offense to anyone, having to watch the opening acts..

Just pulled my old strat out the loft and have decided to start playing it again, just cleaned it up and its looking real nice, but ive just found out that its tone is horrible. Im thinking a pickup change could give this guitar new life, but I dont know the first thing about single coils so could anyone recommend me some good high output single coils that would be great for metal? I looked on the EMG website but as far as I can see it doesnt say anything about 'metal' on their single coil section. The only high output single coil ive found so far is the Seymour Duncan SHR-1B Hot Rail. Is this pickup any good?

http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/shr-1b-hot-rails-for-str/9034


EDIT: And once ive found a pickup for the bridge, what about the middle and neck positions?

anyone else got it yet? comes in a sealed white bag.... didnt know why til i opened that bad boy up and found a cover made up of autopsy / dead people pictures!

oh yeah, its the reek of puterification and flesh ripping sonic torment demo. Not had a chance to check out the dvd yet.

Have any of you guys ever heard of or tried this Rane PEQ 55 Parametric EQ? I can't find any Customer reviews on it. It looks like it will work better than my Furman PQ-4's I used to have. They have more range and tone shift adjustment and I like the dual 2" rack size for both heads I have. Anyone know about this unit? Im thinking of trying it once I can afford it. It has some winning audio award and it's refered to as a secret weapon.

When it arrived the AC cord on the outside was so brittle after 28+ years UPS bent it to bubble wrap it and it broke outside the box so I had to replace it. The seller apologized and said send it back if I want to. So I repaired it to just see how one of these things works. It's a keeper. Check out the inside... Extra memory slots!
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd318/DragonFlySlayer/MoreMemoryOrtimeslots.jpg

Finished AC cord... A no Brainer. The only thing I could find visibly was the small bolts that hold the power supply transformer needed snugging.
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd318/DragonFlySlayer/MXRDelayFinished.jpg

The MXR 113 Delay has beautiful action and sound for a Delay. And there is knobs! Perfect for my Violin Bow or about anything. With one board I have 320ms ...If I had the other three boards I would have something like 1230 or so... I forget..
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd318/DragonFlySlayer/KorgSDD1000-1.jpg
Then I noticed this guy had one other auction ...It's an Eventide H3000 D/SE without a scratch just like he pulled it out of the box.
Man I kept looking at that and looking at that... He wanted about $70.00 to ship it and his buy it now price was right at $1400.00
I remember back about 17 years ago they sold in this condition for just over $3000.00.
So considering it's condition after about a week of looking at it and watching people throw lame bids at it I said it kind of hurts a bit but I will always wish I snagged that thing so I said "Come to Mr.Rodent".
http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd318/DragonFlySlayer/EventideH3000DSE.jpg

So far everything works flawless but I have to get some connection boxes for the XLR connections on the back of the Eventide so I can test drive it through my amp since I don't have a mixer.
And I also will have some stuff to learn with layering effects and parameters thats for sure! I have the owners manual. I will need it. Reviews on the H3000 speak quite highly of it even compared to the latest H8000FW for $5500.00. People still have a place in their heart for the H3000.


But on that Rane PEQ 55 Parametric EQ has anyone ever dealt with this? Or is it too new?
Im thinking of maybe some parametric EQ down the road ...

Im gonna order some gibson pickups!

I need help wich one to get though.

Should i get the classic Les Paul set of 490r and 498t or
the explorer set of 496r and 500t.

Or should i do my own setup of maybe 496r and 490r?

Please give me some opinions and own experience etc...

It's going into an ESP exporer, made of mahagony, so it's gonna be a pretty close Gibson sound.

Any help is apreiciated

I dont know, but it sure is ugly as hell!

So, I saw one of these cheap in a music shop in town (ex-demo) and tried it out for a little while...pretty damn impressive!

Even at low volumes, it sounded awesome.

But does anyone here have experience with these heads? How did you find it? What about in the long term? Gigging experiences etc. etc.

My new Washburn ET Idol arrived today and its been difficult to put down long enough to take some pics

After a quick tune up it came pretty much completely playable right out of the case, although I will give it a proper set up tomorrow (the action could be a tiny bit lower). The neck is pretty thin, which I was quite surprsied about. Its not Ibanez thin, but it is slightly thinner and flatter than my Dimeslime. Plays great though, very slick, especially with the ebony fret board. The inlays are cool, half abalone, half pearl blocks.
The EMG's sound great! This guitar has a real deep, beefy tone due to the 2 inch thick mahogany body, and I love the clean tones, very warm sounding. She's definitley a keeper

Just some quick pron, as I'm no specialist with a camera. (BTW, this is definitely one of those "looks way better in person" axes )




Mmmmmmmm.........ebony........




My growing Washburn family (I'll get a Dean soon, I swear )

Thanks much to Budda for a great deal and the extras thrown into the case!!

I figured i would make a thread because i think this guitar deserves it and i think its pretty cool. i havent been doing too many NGD threads and i dont see the point anymore of doing one everytime i buy something but if it seems special then i like to share my pics.

This guitar was custom ordered by my friend nileguy who is on the espboards and it has been a guitar i have lusted for, he finally decided to sell it and i was at the right place at the right time. Esp has a photo of this guitar on their japanese site under the custom shop. nileguy spec'd out a pretty badass guitar imo. im also glad he sold it because esp has been making a few mistakes on the custom orders and they have been taking over a year on some orders.

Heres a few specs for ya:
dv8 style body shape with mahogany body and instead of the usual maple neck-thru it has a mahogany neck with ebony fretboard, normally the dv8 is stringthru and another nice change is the floyd, its got emgs and the alexi laiho shaped neck, the inlays are the logo for a fallout shelter and its finished in urban camo satin.

So far it sounds awsome thru my herbert and is a tone monster, im really happy with the craftsmanship and the feel of this guitar.:thu:

Heres a few pics i took, they look kinda shitty and dont do the guitar justice but what do you expect from a iphone.

I'm looking at a new amp, since I'm going to be very much in the market soon and was looking at the Marshall MG Combos. To my surprise, there is only a $30 difference between the 100W and 250W version. What the deal with that? And why is the 100W 4 pounds more then the 250W???

100W 52 lbs.

Anyone know where to find a Gibson serial # decoder ring?

EDIT: According to the internet, its a '64

i've been doing the whole t-shirt jeans thing for a while and my band is thinking about doing some image realignment. were thinking of having two colors, black or white. on the days we all wear black i would wear, black skinny jeans, black macbeth shoes, black dress shirt, black tie, black vest, black leather belt w/black studs, black wallet chain. on the days we wear white i would wear the exact same thing only all that in white. so my question here is have you guys ever does stuff like that before? does it work well? does a band like that appeal to you guys? i wear allot of suits so i don't think it would be that hard. and what do you guys wear on stage? is there any constant in your wardrobe? and what style of music are you guys playing along with your style.

I am in the market for a new amp. I really want something that is 100 watts but the most i would be able to spend is $500. Can anyone give me any help with this? What are some options? I would love to get a marshall so what is out there in MY price range? If there is something out there that isnt a marshall but would give me "twisted and insane" tones that fit people that are in to the "insane, twisted, and thick chops" genre then please list that too. with the above comment i want it to rival the quality of a marshall but still be in my price range. thanks for the help and remember...$500

Who is Wargasm? Boston based thrash band from the 80's/90's.
Their Why Play Around? debut release is a thrash classic. I have
it on cassette from years ago, and was lucky enough to get a copy on CD from Hans. They did a reunion show in 2004 for charity http://rawkstars.org/ that provide instruments and lessons for kids that wouldn't be able to get them without some help.

little youtube action from their debut - it's compressed to hell, the release had pretty stellar production

For the life of me I cannot find a Cadillac with an Ebony fingerboard. I am trying to get as close to a Les Paul Custom without going to a Gibson.

Would that sound great in front of a JCM 800 or it would do a mess ........I don't have an effect loop ....

hey...

I got this material flag/poster today.Supposively it's limited edition but I don't have a clue.I'm not big on Metallica so I don't really know anything about it.Just wondering if any of you knew what album it's related to or anything about it...









Sorry about the size of the pictures but the poster is massive

so i just got back two of my pedals from a friend the other day (MXR EVH Phase 90 and Boss DD-3) and i plugged both into the effects loop of my Valveking Halfstack. to me, my tone sounds amazing but whenever i engage the Phase 90 my volume level drops dramatically. anyone have a solution for this? thanks in advance.

What do you guys think is better?Solid state or Tube?
I have narrowed my amp desicion down to two so far and i dont know what would be better.
The peavey valveking(tube):
http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Peavey-ValveKing-112-Combo-Amp?sku=481442
or...
The B52 LG-10012s(solid state):
http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/B52-LG10012S-100W-Stereo-2x12-Solid-State-Guitar-Combo?sku=481306
What do you think is better for what you pay and in quality?

any one preorder the unearth cd? did u get it yet. i did but all i got was the autographed booklet but no cd am i gettin that on tues.

My Jcm 800 has an Od input and a clean input ...Would an A/B selector would work to use both input of the same amp ?

Found this page, thought somebody might need the info.

Hey guys
I'm currently lookin for a single-coil pickup for the neck slot on one of my guitars and i wanna know which one would bet suit what i'm lookin for,
I'm after a single-coil that sounds kinda like Mark Knoplfer or Eric Johnson any ideas?

Can anyone recommend me some good Symphonic metal bands to listen to? Really digging Nightwish, After Forever, and Epica atm, need to hear more stuff like this!

my old turntable broke a few years back, and ive been meaning to get an new one since. i scored an old, but in good working condition, one from the flea market today for 20 bucks. now im listening to Vol 4 (Black Sabbath) on vinyl and its magical! i missed my records.

i came across this guitar on eBay and my jaw dropped... ive never seen something so beautiful! it's got pretty much all the features, and the looks that i'm after. if i had an extra $1000 laying around, it would drop it on this beast without thinking twice. i had never heard of/seen it anywhere before. it says there were only 14 made. does anyone know what the deal with this guitar is?

Too bad if it's been posted before, just #$%@ up and enjoy it.

I was scanning through the DMT pickup webpage here and realized that I still have no clue what it means to be "F-Spaced" or "G-Spaced". I have a feeling like it's something really obvious, but even after eight and a half years of playing, I still have no clue as to what either of those mean.

So, could somebody explain to me what those two terms mean as well as other pickup oriented term definitions not mentioned in my question?

Thanks!

Shane

Ok guys. if you got any ideas let them rip. We are in the market to make a new intro tape.

we used to use this one until mudvayne started using it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBfxl_T6ldg

and we used to use this one but clubs would get pissed
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPlfDIcjrVI

our old stand by, I lost the cd. It was from some spooky movie and I added camp fire and spooky sounds under the dialog. it was some witch talking , saying
" So..........You've finally come to your senses. Come to realize what Ive always known. The sons and daughters of Lucifer have been free in these streets for much too long. Now is the time for all God fearing people to unit and spill the blood of the wicked. I say we cut out their slimey guts and burn them to a crsip" then a big explosion then we start. Anyone know what movie that was from.I cant remember.

ao now we are in the market to get another good one.

Anyone have any good ideas?

So me and some friends saw Danzig, Dimmu Borgir, Moonspell, Winds of Plaque, and Skeletonwitch last nite. unfortunately, we couldnt bring cameras or cellphones in (thanks Danzig) all the bands were amazing! (except for Danzig, he's getting too old) and i got an autograph from Dimmu's bassist. it was pretty damn awesome!

it is somewhere in the picture below(thanks to scrapnasty for bringing the camera). it's just below the marshall kerry king.

thanks to bloodroot for cluing me in on where to start with one of these monsters. robert and i di.cked with it all day. couldn't get a bad tone from it. they do like passives better,but that might be because i only plugged in the duncan h/m live wire active and it is too high gain in itself.

it's better than the kk marshall for sure. the powerball is more smooth,where as the marshall is more like a chainsaw.

anyway,you guys know what they look like,but a couple of the pics we took anyways.

be advised,this is just the good stuff. all the imports are upstars. and thanks to my boy chris jenkins and dina for hooking me up with the sister to the spalted mlf. i love you guys. got something in the truck for you....you can see it in front of the phone on the right.

oh yeah,notice the open bar on the right for all d.o.a. members. got just about everything you can name in there. the jagermister machine is behind the guitar cases. bring your a$$ down to texas and i'll show you a GOOD time.

keep playing those deans

I've been really gasing over guitars with solid white finishes lately, and wanted to see what kind of guitars everyone in the forum might have that i can drowl over, aha. Doesn't matter if they're dean, though white ml's are my big love, so if you got em, do em up!

I've been playing the guitar for a while now, and I began thinking about how embarrassing it is to be able to play the guitar decently, but not actually know much about music theory. A few days ago I decided to actually do something about it, so I logged onto Guitar Center's website and placed an order for "The Guitar Grimoire - Scales & Modes" and I must say that I'm very impressed by it's teachings.

However, I've been wondering if anyone else here in the Dean forums has had any experience with any of the books in the series and if they found the knowledge gained from the books beneficial to their playing.

I just started to actually study the book, and before I started to thumb through all of the scales and modes, I decided to actually take the time to read the beginning section of the book that teaches you how to actually use this book to your benefit. I'm now at the chord naming system and I'm understanding most of everything so far.

Does anyone else have this book or any of the others? Which one would you recommend to someone like me after I finish this one on scales and modes?

Thanks,

Shane

Thoughts on this 7 string?

I want an cheap 7 string to play around with....

Thanks,


-Matthew

When all is said and done, it appears a dovetail corner, hardwood, custom tolex speaker cab easily hits the $400.00+ range. These look to be decent quality, and the guy has great feedback...

Anyone have any experience with this guy? Some advice from someone with knowledge of cabinet construction? I was thinking about a 2x12, for my Dr. z, however the Z best cabs are $700.00 I don't want to make a mistake saving a buck - money's tight these days.

anybody have a good tube or solid state amp that they would recommend for around 500 dollars

me love you long time?

How do notes relate to each other? As in how do you know how to play in key before doing so? I try to do it based on ear and what matches the notes in chords but I get some weird sounding results. I've never had so much as a half assed lesson on music theory if you can't tell by reading this and think that might help me.

No, really. It IS a fiddle:






This violin was made by my great-grandfather Nils Nilsen in Arendal, Norway in 1922. He made one for each of his six children. This one was given to my grandmother the day before she came to America in 1922.

The single string you see is the last remaining original string. I'm not sure what kind of wood this is made from. I'm guessing it's probably spruce. It is still a very aromatic wood, so I'm guessing spruce.

It is, of course, completely handmade/carved. The nut, fretboard and tailpiece all appear to be ebony, as are the tuning pegs. There are two small mother-of- pearl inlays on the tailpiece. The bow (which still has the original horse-hair) also has mother-of-pearl and bone inlays.

For an 86 year old instrument, it is in remarkably good condition. It needs a little re-gluing where the peg holds the tailpiece in place (there is a block of wood on the inside that has come loose). I wonder if Ben Chafin works on violins I don't plan on this being an regularly used instrument, but it would be nice to hear the old girls voice.

I'm just interested to see what amp setups people are using to get their sound.

Mine are as follows;
At the moment, i've only got a 15 watt peavey rage (but im gonna get a new amp soon) which i use with a Digitech death metal pedal. Pedal settings are:
Level: whatever is needed
Lows: full
Mids: halfway
Highs: Between 7.5 and 10

Amp settings:
Clean channel with 'Modern' setting and eq same as FX pedal.
Then whatever guitar i want to use (usually my razor v standard)

Next amp is probably gonna be a randall RG 100 (or 200) G3 combo.

In speech class me and a friend are debating 2 girls on whether Led Zeppelin is better than the Beatles. I have the side of Led Zeppelin.

I don't really care what your opinion on the whole thing is, but I need help on coming up with arguments that are pro led zeppelin, and pro beatles(so I can rebut them easily).

I also need to cite sources. For example RollingStone magazine put Jimmy Page at #9 on their top 100 guitarists, and put George Harrison at #21. Regardless of how bad we all hate that list, I can use it in my favor....

The best arguments I have right now is that Led Zeppelin didnt have Yoko Ono, and the Beatles inspired Charles Manson


Thanks guys.

for dantheman to get in contact with me. Anyone heard from him lately?

Alright people,here's the deal.I need some purdy pron for college.I'm studying to become a cameraman,and we need to bring some good pictures in to be studied and told about.So here's your chance to get your fiddle awed at by the masses,so to speak.

Hey Guys,

i havent been on here much recently due to night shifts at work and University studies. i am in my final year studying Music Technology and we have just been given an assignment where i have to master 5 band recordings.

i have recorded 7 bands in my time in uni and they went pretty well apart from some members of my group having different opinions with mixing and adding effects etc...

So i am asking you all kindly if you have any cubase files or separate audio tracks of each instrument of your band/bands and are willing for me to master them for my current assignment.

if you could attach the files in an email that would be awesome

shootmycrotch@hotmail.com

Thanks in advance...

I won the DFD from Dave, it was a contest that was online, so I entered it, and I won. Dave helped me learn Symphony of Destruction. He also helped me hold the guitar, picking, and others. We then played Walk, and Cemetery Gates.

Here is the DFD (DEAN from Dave). Sorry about the pic size.....

When I frist got it:








When I got home:

so i havent had the chance to play with my Valveking until a few minutes ago and something's wrong my clean channel works fine, but, the lead channel has no distortion at all and there's a loud ringing noise coming from the amp. any idea what's wrong? thanks in advance

I originally wanted to email this in, but the email bounced back. Either way, this provides immediate feedback for the company to be able to analyze this idea.

Hello Dean, I, as a member of Quest Musique, have been very happy to be a dealer of your guitars. Your company is a very diverse company (acoustics, electrics, basses with many models of each) but I see a potential opportunity that hasn't been included in your line. We have been impressed with your guitars, as have our customers, as we have ordered and continue to order many models (the Dave Mustaine Series guitars have been a great hit here as well as, of course, the Dimebag lineup) but one type of guitar that we haven't been able to get, from you or any of our other lines, is a solidbody electric guitar with P90 pickups. I think your company could greatly profit from the addition of a guitar with these pickups in either the Cadillac or Soltero models. A goldtop model in either of these lines with P90's would appeal to many of our customers and, I believe would be a logical new model to include in 2009. I don't think that a Gold top Caddy Select with P90's would even reach the sales floor of our store. I think one of the employees would snatch it up right out of the box.

So, what do the fans of Dean guitars think of this idea?
Yay, Nay, Meh?

Post your comments about the Dean From Hell,

Buddy's newly designed Limited Edition Dean ML,

and Buddy's current happenings in Hawaii and beyond!

Welcome!

how can you say you're a huge fan of a band, when you've got nothing of theirs but stolen music?


"i'm a big fan of ________, but not enough to support them"


they say the bailout was a step towards communism, but i swear 95% of all music listeners these days are already there.


what is it that these people do not comprehend? do they know nothing of the joy of album art, and liner notes? or tearing open a fresh cd?


it's gotten so bad that the artists are trying to get money however they can, even if they have to screw their fans over to do so.

did you know there's a big bill that's going to allow musicians to get money for USED cds now?

wtf? did i get two paychecks for doing the same job once? HELL NO.

if i buy a used yugo, does the defunct company get a kickback?

Second YJM308

These things are absolute beasts! Tone almost as fat as the man himself, and it adds a very, VERY nice compression that gives you just the right amount of smack on each note. Great replica of the Rising Force tone straight out of the box and as well as that, it sounds great on the clean channel where it gives just the right amount of sizzle.
This is my second one, as the firsts getting a bit decrepid. It has a little more bottom end than the first does, which I very much like.

Obligatory pron!

Pretty Rare Bird..

Well, I'm really frippin board right now. I've been sitting at home for four days now, since I don't have a job, and my job search isn't going to well.(I could get a job a fast food place right now, but %$#@! that I hated working at Sonic and DQ, so I don't think I'd like it this time around.) So this is the best thing to do I can think of right now.

It's blurry, so frippin what. It did give me an excuse to finally by a Buckethead style mask. Best $2.99 I could spend.

First off, I personally never ship my guitars (or anything) via Fed EX. I only use UPS because after shipping dozens of guitars over the years I never had any problems what so ever. And I always request from sellers to use UPS. Sometimes they don't have access to UPS so they have to use Fed Ex.

So today I hear the Fed Ex truck pull up with a new/old Dean that I have been waiting a week for. I go to the front door and I watch in horror as the retard first drops the box off the truck because he was too lazy to pick it up and walk it down the truck steps, then he proceeded to literally bounce the box up my driveway by lifting it and letting it fall over and over. At this point I ran out and said to him "What the f-u-c-k are you doing! There's a guitar in there!" He says "oh".

The best part is the box is covered with "Fragile!" stickers, plus he was bouncing it on the heads stock end because the box was upside down.

Everytime I get something from someone via Fed Ex I have some problem or another. On this one they also screwed up the tracking info so I couldn't get the proper delivery date off their website and had to call repeatedly.

Fed Ex blows.

This looks like it may be a nice 7 string.

This is im pretty sure true, im on quite a few guitar forums and they all talk crap about us.

ESP forum are the winners though.

the slightest metion of dave and all you hear is 5/6 pages of whinging about "why did he go to dean there s#%t"

or "daves an idiot, ESP RULLLLEZZZZZ"

i just thought people might be interested,

also the esp bourd are kinda pissed about mick amott leaving.

saying "Dean payed him loads of money to play dean guitars and he gets like 25 free guitars a year"

in the words of Tamz_Aggression little brother

"rofl @ teh n00b"

I was playing megadeth earlier today and realized while playing along with dread and the fugitive mind that i am not as good as i thought. It isnt that i cant play hard stuff it is jus my speed and accuracy. How can i fix this?

Where is a good site that's free.... That I can upload my .wav and .mp3 files to and share them with the world? I have learned how to use my Cubase and my Presonus thingy. So look out world, here comes a barrage of crappy tunes and mediocre singing!

----Edit--- Also I'm looking for a way to convert .wav to .mp3

something I wrote while driving in the car the other day. There is also something special about each reference too.


I drove my chevy to the levy
while the wind cried mary
And watched a yellow submarine pass below
(FOUND...)
I was a simple man
who hitched a ride in a slick black cadillac
to a night at the opera
(WHERE....)
The house was a' rockin
to the bltzkreig bop
As I danced the night away with Jessica
(THEN....)
I took a ride on the crazy train
to the sanitarium where I was welcomed in
by a cowboy from hell who found me well
(AND....)
Found myself out on the steps
and let my voice be heard
yet found myself at the end.

What are your favorite songs that combine acoustic guitar and electric guitar?


For me, probably gotta go with Diary of a Madman.

I got really bored, so I decided to take a peek inside my Icon. I took it apart, wiped some of the smudges off the guitar (I know, there are still smudges left...), and took some pics for you guys.

Enjoy the pron!








My friend knocked it down and left this ding....

Anyone use these for high gain tones? I just ordered a pair after reading a lot of reviews and after having such a good experience with Tung-Sol's 12AX7 tubes. Reviews said they're fat, warm, smooth, and detailed. Just seeing if any of you hard rock and metal heads had any experience with them. I can't afford to try out different tubes and the stores around here only stock GT and Mesa tubes.

I've had this guitar forever now and just recently discovered this awesome forum. Just curious what you guys could tell me about the guitar based on the pictures. I know the guitar has to be either EARLY '90s or older since it was purchased used by my father around '92. It's a great guitar but unfortunately it doesn't get played a lot compared to the rest of my collection. Thanks for looking and any comments in regards to the value would be greatly appreciated

i'd love to see dean do some old school hot rod/rat rod scheme (no the rust finishes don't count. lol.)

here's what i'd like to see incorporated into a guitar...

1. Flat black



2. some sick ass pinstriping


3. some old hot rod mascots. (maybe)



4. classic tattoo themes (pinup chicks, dice, spades, clubs, hearts, diamonds. spiderwebs, etc.)

not all these have to be on the guitar (how cluttered would that be. but i think if you took any 2 of these themes, and added them together you'd have a pretty killer guitar.


you get the idea by now, i'm sure.

i'd like a guitar that looks like what would happen if these beasts transformed magically into guitars.





i think there's a big market for this kind of badassery in an instrument (that really, hasn't been done too extensively.)

or maybe....a cool guitar with the evel knievel paint setup.

i herd the V2 is a beefed up version of the X2
does anybody know anything on this?

I have a decision to make , I have got clearance from the wife to spend $300.00 for my xmas present this year, and can't decide what I should get in the way of ampage, I currently have Randall rg75, but was thinking of getting Marshall microstack or just getting a cab for hook up to my Randall, I only use the clean channel on the RG cause I dont like the distortions on it, and use a rp 150 for my effect and all. So is the Marshall well worth it or would a cab be better?

Decided to put a humbucker in my Strat, but im not sure what to go with. I was going to go with EMG's but I dont want the hassle of routing a hole for the battery as my Strat is only a beater guitar. Im keeping it in E standard/Drop D tuning and i'll use it for thrash such as Metallica, Megadeth, Testament, Slayer, Trivium and the like, so what pickup/s would be good for this setup?

Pretty cool stuff.

I have some questions about recording my amp at home. I'm not getting tones that I want. When I record everything sounds far away even with the mic up close.

Here is what I'm using:
Carvin Mic (equvelant to SM 57)
Presonus Inspire Interface
Cubase LE

What I've done so far is just basic, put the mic up against the grill cloth, just off of the cone of the speaker. I'm not sure but for some reason some one told me that's where it goes.

what are your suggestions? I know I should just try different things, but I don't have that kinda time.............

Thinking putting the amp in the bathroom to record and closing the door. Real live natural reverb?

I've got a Dean dime slime. Great guitar, but i'm always having to take off the back to tighten up the whammy bar on this thing... It's getting annoying. Is this normal? anything i can do to remedy this?

BEAT YOU TOM13!!

Sorry for the shakey pics,I had to use my cheap cam.

Long story short, I stopped Saturday morning to get a pack of smokes and even though I already had my tickets for the Week I decided to buy one Louisiana Lottery ticket. I just picked some numbers off the top of my head, nothing special. So I woke up Sunday morning and went to check my Powerball and Louisiana Lottery numbers, and as always.... Nothing!!!

I forgot all about the single ticket I bought that was in my wallet. That was until just a few minutes ago while digging through it. So I went to check my numbers and check this out... I ended up getting 4 numbers out of 6 straight!

Yep, just won myself $50 bucks and 50 more chances for winning the big one for this Weeks drawing!

But to think I was just two numbers away from being well off!

What's with people and crap music being popular? Personally, if it's on the radio, I'm most likely going to hate it. Good example, the new Kid Rock song, HORRIBLE! Can people not think for themselves and rely on somebody else to tell them what is popular this year? The other day I heard someone call that Kid Rock their favorite song of the summer, bet you don't hear anything about it next year or anytime after, while REAL good music stays popular forever. Heck, Cowboys From Hell is almost 20 years old now, and I still love the entire album.


Just wondering if anybody else feels like me, or if I'm a weirdo for seeing a little bit of myself in "Sandblasted Skin".

It is a cheap Squier bullet. I put in a fender wiring harness w/ cts pots, fender mim bridge, GFS 60's pickups in the neck and mid w/ fender pickup covers, Dimarzio fast track2 in the bridge, GFS mint green pickguard, fender knobs and jack. I also used some fender neck amber from guitar reranch to tint the neck and added wd tuners. Let me know what ya think.

How would a Pearly gates work in the neck position for jam band type music (ex. Grateful Dead, Umphrys McGee, MOE.)? I will be using the neck pickup for rhythm and leads. Will it work for what I need, or should I look elsewhere?

So I remember the stories growing up of old blues men selling their soul to the devil for greatness. I dunno. I am not a religious man in the least bit but watching Stevie play...... He is unnaturally amazing. I don't mean in an Yngwie or Vai kind of way. I mean he just had enough mojo in his fingers to make you really think...... Hmm was he possessed when he played? I know it sounds crazy, but man, how can one guy be that good?

Hey everyone,

I've got a choice that I need to make that is causing me some trouble, and I was wondering if you all could share some wisdom with me. Of, if you are out of wisdom, a humble opinion would be greatly appreciated.

I can do one of two things. I can go ahead and contact one of our friendly neighborhood dealers here at the Dean Guitars forums and place an order for what would be my second Soltero Standard...or...I can wait until NAMM starts up and see what is going to be in the future for our favorite guitar company and place an order for something I might like when the new models release.

Thanks for you time!

Shane

Got this guitar probably 10 years ago as a cheap kit. My father (who's played as long as I can remember and for quite a while before that ) helped me assemble and set it up. It wasn't a bad guitar and I dug the custom headstock we did but after almost a decade it was ready for an overhaul:
The original look. After several staining attempts we decided to spray it orange:

Stripped down and re-painting process begun. It's an "almond white":

Assembled! and while it was torn apart I had the plastics division at the company I used to work for "dip" my pickguard in a snake skin wash. I couldn't have been happier with how it came out.

Closeup of custom headstock:

But that single coil in the bridge just wasn't cutting it. Upgraded to a DiMarzio DP182 and this is how it sits today:


And a vid of it in action shortly after completion. Ignore the lame "shredding", lol.

Thanks for looking! Hope you enjoy the little story And if you want to be a pal, please bump my Czech Dean Z (bolt on neck)'s FS/FT thread in the Trading Post:
http://www.deanguitars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57297

Well in this picture Papa Het has a double neck explorer. Well the only problem with this is the screen I took is from Woodstock '94. However wasn't this guitar burnt along with James, in the pyro accident in '93. Nonetheless the guitar is pretty bad ass.

The The Dean ML 30th Anniversary looks like an awesome guitar anyone have one , or opinions on this guitar?

I have never seen or used any of these, would just like someones opinion. Do they look wierd? Can you feel them as your playin? Any comments would be great.

Does anybody maybe have a Randall RG100ES XP schematic?If you do, please send it on my mail:

mensursalkanovic@hotmail.com

Thanx

tiki.

i'm headed in.

2003 ML '79.
I like these older ones with the natural mahogany grain instead of the flamed veneer.

First I tore it all down and started by polishing the frets and cleaning up the fingerboard:
-


Next I leveled out any imperfections in the clearcoat on the top, back, and headstock by block wet-sanding them.
-




Then I machine buffed and polished it all up:
-

Hey dudes and dudettes!! I saw a post here where someone removed the cover behind the metal grill on the 6505, that way the tubes glowing are visable from the front of the head. Can anyone help me with this, do i just remove the screws on the side of the head? I dont wanna mess this amp up lol

I know this is a Dean forum so it's pretty obvious which one most of you would pick

I'm going to buy a new guitar soon and I'm not sure which one to buy. I've been thinking about ESP LTD SC608B or Dean Razorback V (black w/ red bevels)

So if anybody's able to share some experiences about either of these guitars I would really appreciate it!

And because we all love it.. Here's some pr0n:






Hell, here's some more pr0n. My current gear:

I got a steal on a "like new" Basson 4x12 guitar cab today. I heard a few guys playing them, and they sounded killer, so I grabbed it. I have read lots of reviews and everyone that has one loves it. The thing is a tank. It weighs 106 lbs. This is the cab right here...

http://www.bassonsound.com/b412SL.htm

pros:

awesome looking Dean
wild sharp V neck profile
LFR works perfectly, stays in tune
light on the shoulder
all set up to my taste now

cons:

light on the shoulder
not enough natural bottom end

I love this guitar, but because of the light weight "mahogany", I'm not getting no where near the amount of bottom end chunk that I used to get out of my heavier Korean Dean ML's. I have a Blacktooth Rebel on order, so that should take care of my passive pick up needs + it's Korean, so it should be heavy. I'm thinking of installing active pups in the Slime. It'll be running it into my Warhead for now. I've read that active's sound the same regardless of wood in the guitar. Is this true?!?

Can anyone sum up the pros / cons to emg 81/85, Zakk Wylde 81/85's, KFK 81/85's, 81/60's, Blackouts, Duncans, whatever. I'm sure some people on this board have run active pup ML's thru many amps including the Warhead.

Much thanks

Neal Moser!!!!!

one helluva nice guy. it is quite refreshing to call a custom shop and have the owner/builder pick-up the phone. talked with him for about 15-20 minutes about different guitar related stuff. seems they will no longer be doing full blown import guitars as it is not really working for the size company they are. Neal said they are going to be looking at making the bodies for the "import" series at the USA Custom Shop and then getting the necks from Korea. They hope to do this and still have the product be in the neighborhood of the current import prices. I am really considering getting one of their guitars. I got me some non-Dean GAS!

CAN I GET A GOD DAMN!
Finally, after waiting ever so long and somewhat patiently, shes here! I guess this guitar was the first USA splittail they tried and succesfully equiped with a floyd. I ordered this barely after they made their first appearence at NAMM 2007. and It only took almost a year and a half to get here! (insert sarcarsm). I almost forgot I even ordered the son of bitch. But shes here, thanks Dean guitars, and thanks Eddie. Sorry we all had to endure those lame prediciments but whats done is done.

Im not sure if this is the only "USA" Splittail with a Floyd, but thats what ive was told by the USA team, and also one of the reasons it took so long. but now i see the imports are starting to have floyds on them. Which is possibly because of this guitar here. oooo and i got a pic or two of my new pad as well. thanks- late

(sorry if pics are huge)

can anyone tell me what the body wood of the Warbird ML is supposed to be? I just picked one up and its way light and seems to be made of basswood based on the exposed wood i can see in the humbuckers routes etc.

thanks for any info!

-Ross

Is the shiz

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

Just thought I'd let yall know

I love how he can play something REALLY simple, and yet its almost hypnotic

I want to here the pros and cons in both from people with experience with them. So fire away!!

as the title says does any one have any info on this brand because Ive got one of their Teles that I'm thinking about selling.

Anyone ever been to a Buckethead gig? Is it a worthwhile event, or just too freaking weird? He's got a gig here next week. I'm curious to see what he does live, but if it's just going to be a bunch of nonsensical junk, I'll save myself the drive.

Im interested in trying to find out what make my Strat is, the guy that owned it before me customized it and added his name to the headstock, so the logo of whatever company made it is no longer present. What I know about the guitar; 21 frets, C shape neck, serial '9405263' written on neck plate. Is there anyway to identify what company made it? I noticed different companys use slighty different shaped headstocks from one another, but apart from that I couldnt tell one strat from the next... here's some pr0n:

what is your favorite non dean shape?

list top three from favorite to the lesser so.

1. charvel star

2.jackson king v

3.bernie rico jr. jekyl

Enough of the doom and gloom, bitchin’ and moanin’! Give your mangina a rest and post something positive about Dean Guitars!

My contribution:

A bit of dichotomy, consider this a new and old revelation

I’m not much of a “vintage” guitar guy, but I did happen upon a pristine example of good ole’ vintage Dean in the form of an 81 Z in late 2007. I pulled that beauty out of the case last night, after a long hibernation, and tuned her up. WOW! I forgot how GREAT a well-seasoned hunk-o-wood and a hot set of pickups sounds like! Super creamy with unbelievable sustain. What a neck!!! The most perfect V ever to be massaged into three pieces of wood. A fabulous instrument from … dare I say … a better time? Ok… maybe not!

I placed her in a stand and reached for one of my all-time favorite current production USA Deans… my trusty natural quilt Soltero. Just opening the case and seeing her gives me the giggles. STUNNING to say the least! Cosmetics aside, simply plugging her in to my Rivera twin and striking an A chord just sends shivers up my spine. Such clarity yet with bone crushing authority, the note rings out.

These two totally different guitars, separated by 25 years, share something very similar. Care to call it Mojo…? nah. Too cliché. I’ll call it satisfaction. A sum of its parts, combined in a fashion that compliments one another in a very rewarding way.

No thread would be complete without the obligatory PRON!

Guys i was wondering about some pros and cons on both guitars is it worth it to spend the extra cash to get the FBD or is the 79 just as good...

Thanks

OK, here it goes...
I was jamming with some friends and realized a few things. I am not as good as i thought i was. the stuff i know how to play takes forever to learn but when i get it it sounds good. My friends can play tons of stuff but they cant play entire songs. Can you guys give me a list of songs that are easy for someone in their first year to learn. If it had a cool sounding solo that is easy please list it. I want a ton of songs to learn just so ya know. If you you could keep it in the rock genre(metal, 80s rock, stuff like that) please do but if you cant then i guess it doesnt matter.

This is for people with actual real world experience. I just scored a new TC Electronics G Major and a Voodoo Labs Ground Control Pro to control it. I am going to be running it into my 6505. I won't have it till Monday so I have a few questions. Can I break up the effects loop chain so I can run the chorus, flange and phaser in the front end of the amp and then the delay, reverbs and EQ into the effects loop? Also I am going to be using the Ground Control to switch my amp channels but I don't know if it can do it right from the unit or if there is an add on I need to get. The description is a little shady. Any recommendations from actual users are appreciated. Below are example photos of what I got.

I had a post in the bass forum for a while and well me being the music attention whore that I am thought that I should make a post in the more recognized forum, sounds selfish and egotistical of me but... shut up .

Guys I need your opinion now ...Yesterday I went to the local guitar shop were they have the two guitar I wanted to tried...

First : the Gibson Flying V Zakk Wylde

Awesome look , the access to high note his great , the price is really high ( 4600 $ ) , it sounds really nice too but the price is killing me , the spec are awesome and all...

Secondly : a Gibson Les Paul Standard 1958 VOS

Look nice but not as the V , I'm not crazy of the access to the high note who's more difficult than a V, the price is okay for this instrument ( 3109 $ ) the sound was .....AWESOME , the tone was incredible, but a les paul cherryburst I think and the acess to the high notes was confusing me a bit ....

What would you do guys ? I like both of them , both feel awesome ,
Here are the the pic and spec of them ... btw money is canadian money

http://www.gibsoncustom.com/inspiredby/ZakkWyldeV.html

http://www.gibsoncustom.com/flash/products/lespauls/58/1958Standard.html

Hey guys!

I can get my hands on a second hand [but in really nice shape] Black/Gold V, his asking price is 600 bucks...

My quesion, is that worth it?

My first shot at taking "sunny day" pics. My 79 MLF, '68 LP RI, and redneck boatpaddle Explorer........with terrorist hunting permit
Here we go....


My son wanted to get in on the photo shoot..































And a question, please excuse the shape of the fretboard in the next photo, it's a work in progress. This Explorer was given to me by a friend of mine, and he said it's an early 90's model. It was(and still is) in pretty rough shape as far as aesthetics go. does anyone know if this fretboard is Brazilian rosewood? The grain leads me to think so, and if it is, I may put more effort into bringing it back to life. I would try to chase the serial number, but alas, it was sanded off before the guitar came to me.

$3,699.00 is a bit steep though

Dragonfire pickups. Are they any good? Because I can get a neck, and bridge set that is based on the X2N for 30 bucks, and I'm wondering if they are worth the money.

anyone? I'm in.

i've searched the forum, but imo the search function isn't that good anyway, tried all different combonations.

I need a black jack plate and nut for my input jack on my razor 255, the chrome one is tarnished after only a couple of months and black would look better.

I will change to black grovers eventually too probably, but i can buy those anywhere. I'll post pron when i get to it in a couple months, putting blackouts in it.

Will i still be covered under warranty even though i put a OFR and some new black hardware on, even if the jack plate comes from dean?

so guys, i have the chance to get a totally custom guitar made by a local guy for only $1000. custom shape custom paint any hardware.
i know i want 25.5 scale, 24 frets, and a pointy v shape. what v shape tho?
what do you guys think, micheal amott/fernandes v shape, king v shape, rhoads shape, or ltd alexi shape?

Arrived today! My previous amp was a peavey bandit 112 with a pod xt live. The change is so huge....

Is your wife/girlfriend/mother going to kill you if you buy one more damn guitar? Heh

Has anyone tried the Kustom 100w Double Cross?

http://doublecrossusa.com/aboutDC.asp
Sound interesting?

vintage deans, early 80ish in almost horrid condition made in usa ml black or any solid color really with one ply binding for cheep?

its for a school project i think i can take a old guitar and fix it up like new for my project. but how often do those guitars come around

someone told me that some guitar companies have really old guitars in crap condition sitting around and don't ever do anything with them. any chance dean my have some sitting around that they would sell a kid cheep so he can restore it for a senior project?

I've got a quick question to those of you that own UX-2 TonePorts or at least a TonePort that has at least one mic plug in it. I've been thinking about buying a mic and a mic boom stand so that I can use it to mic my amp when recording leads.

I love the UX-2 for rhythm, but that's about it side from the other basic things such as a metronome and tuner.

The reason that I want to do this is because my leads don't come up well on the UX-2 plugged directly in, so I thought if I could mic my actual amp that the sound would come through better. Can I actually do this or should I not waste my money on a mic and mic boom yet?

Thanks,

Shane

Would really like to know if there is gonna be one, and if there witch headstock will they use? I would have already bought one of the imports if it didn't have that razorback one. I'm wanting a stealth really bad right now

..or maybe you did:

....just imagine this song while dealing with bad guitar sales over the internet...there!...now this is a guitar related thread!

PS I just think this song is hilarious. ICP shoulda recorded it!

I was kicking around the net tonight looking for a supplier of nice neck thru blanks to build a guitar off of.
I found this guy. The necks look really nice and they are priced pretty fair $250 - 275 ish his site is here. Anybody ever heard of him?
http://www.soulmateguitars.com/
some nice looking guitars also as well as necks etc.

I located him via this page which is an awesome list of links involving guitar building from parts to inlays to paints & builders etc. I saved it to my favorites thought some of you would care to check it out.

Got offered a Slime bee Razor and a Charvel for my limited run slime.

Good deal? Bad deal?

We just recorded these tracks over a "live" drumtake we recorded in our rehearsal space. It's just a fun recording for our myspace but it turned out pretty cool. A big bonus for the person who knows this song since it is a cover.


http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6984273


it's still unmixed as we need to add the vocals and a basstrack still.

Update! song with bass and vocals added, still barely mixed and unmastered. Solo needs to added next wednesday.

Would anyone know?
I ordered a black floyd- it was a little too big.
I tried to google, but only found southern cross size.
I figured they were the same.
can someone help me out??
Thanks!

Thought some new guitar players(and some vets) could have some fun from this series. In this Tune Cat Scratch Fever, MAB plays a solo.I did find something that I wouldnt do in the solo. Give me your critique of the solo (good points, bad points, things you would and wouldnt do) to change the solo or leave it as is.* You can use the video timer to mark your points of critique. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fZ7FJ9EpGE&feature=related

I had never heard of this guy before... now I can't stop digging up stuff of his on youtube! this one blew me away.

This is my UFH (Uke From Hell) I ripped off a neck from a cheap uke, made a new body, bridge, and nut. Hand painted with spray paint then brushed on the bolt. Sorry, couldnt fit the wings there, and i also painted the UFH symbol on the back, check it out!











And my next project is an Elec EVH Frankenuke

I've been wanting a Dean Razorback V Skull for quite some time. And within a few months I'll have the sufficient funds to purchase one, but I'm having second thoughts.

The guitar is 4 thousand dollars and I'd feel extremely terrible if I ever chipped it or if anything were to ever happen to it.

I know guitars are meant to be played and not to be show-cased. I know PLENTY of you have expensive guitars and I'd like to hear what you have to say about this:

How often do you play it? I know you take extra care of it because it's more expensive but at what cost (such as: you don't play it as often as you'd like because of the risk of denting/chipping)? Looking at this guitar just makes me want to shred it apart (not literally, of course!) but I'm also afraid of denting it or putting marks on it.

Basically, I wrote a song with koto and string ensemble on guitar pro, so don't expect amazing quality link to song http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6986079 unfortunately not guitar related, but I play bass (close enough ) and it is music related and I hope that will suffice.

I'm about to cancel my subscription. I actually should have done it a long time ago, but I didn't.

I'm really tired of seeing all these Kurt Cobain and Jimmy Page articles. They seem to ride Zakk, Kurt, SRV, Hendrix, and Jimmy Page's ass REALLY hard.

Any other good magazines I can suscribe too? I'd like a guitar magazine with a lot of good gear reviews and interviews that actually go somewhere.

Can anyone tell me a reliable way to differentiate a USA from an import Tropical Dean?

Over the years I have heard the USA's are good quality, and I see them for sale from time to time. Currently there are some interesting (and bastardized) Deans on Ebay. Some from '96, an interesting pink baby ML that someone put a lame trem on, and a "custom" tropical caddy - bolt on...

Can someone school me on some of this? BLoyd brutha, you out there?

A bit of a guitar maintainance day today. I also keep telling myself it's time to sell a couple of guitars. I don't have a USA Dean and would really love one. But each time I pull out a guitar for the chopping block and polish her up. Put new strings on her. Give it a little set up. Next thing you know I'm playing it for the next week and I can never bring myself to sell one. So today I figured I'd pull most of em out line em up and then try and give one the ax. Funny thing is I knew the photo was missing 4 guitars that are not at my house but I realized after posting the photo that I forgot my Jackson Kelly & another black ML in the other closet. I had to study the photo for a few minutes and counting them thinking... Hey what's missing. Anyways long story short. I couldn't pull the trigger on one to sell again so I'm just giving up. I'm gonna quit tourturing myself. So here's the bulk of em' Getcha pull... Kev

To bad today [well yesterday depending on how you look at it], wasn't. Trade with Red Dragon gone smooth, SKB Case, Epipone LP, money for shipping to him, Ibanez Fuzz and Digitech Death Metal pedal. Awesome deal!



Cool board.


Crap shots, color badly off.





The true use for guitar cases



Life may be going down hill for me, but my guitars are great. Only problem with this guitar is that upper registry and me don't work well here. Hands a bit too big.

what do u think is better? dosent matter if its the funky monky or the boogie street or if its the straight up Dime washy.
ive herd lots of good things about the washys and not alot of good things about dean.

and please, support ur reasons!

Anybody know where i can download some drum tracks to Metallica, Pantera song??? i dont want backing tracks just the drum parts
Cheers Martyn

Philip H. Anselmo (DOWN, PANTERA, SJR) - guitar/backing vocals
Wayne Fabra (GRAVEYARD RODEO, NECROPHAGIA) - vocals
Jay Gracianette (SINKHOLE, HOUSE OF SHOCK) - bass

Hey gang,check it out.

My bud Ebut,who goes by the same name on this forum,came over on Saturday to bring me my new ML! After that,we went to the music store and tried out a few fiddles and pedals.I ended up getting a Metal Muff pocket! We bought alot of stuff that day.i also brought my old ML with me to the store because a dude who works there heard about some kid who installed a Floyd on his own ML and he was all anxious to see it.He took some pics and really dug it,and it might be featured in their magazine!
Oh yeah,I also shot some pics of my Vantage Avenger bass and my Frankenstrat.Enjoy!

So Metallica has written aprox. 100 songs(well 99 to be exact), how ever some form of the word death has appeared in 81 one of them. Leading to believe James Hetfield likes death. Here is a compilation of such claims.

Spacebeer's track that he posted got me wanting to delve into some more thrash metal. List some bands! So Far I know of.

Megadeth
Metallica
Slayer
Anthrax
Exodus
Lazarus A.D.

Here's a few pics my friend/fellow bandmate Thomas and I took of our collective equipment today.











and here's a pic I had fer some album art, or a really kickass poster

Thanks to Boba_fret fer the usage of his skull LoL

Show me some pics of necks that you consider bowed or warped.

Hey everyone its been awhile since i've been able to chit chat up on here (have visited a few times but not for long) i been busy
So don't destroy me if someone has already talked about this.

But i was wondering what some of you guys thought about PRS's new Starla model.
And some of you that are my buds know that i'm a singlecut/les paul style body guy guitar player dude
I'm actually diggin the Starla
The classyness to it, i really like it. I can't wait to hit up GuitarCenter and check it out.

Has anybody played it?

Tell me what you guys thing

I was thinking about some of my favourite guitar sounds today and thought it might be cool to hear what some of you guys think are the best sounding guitarists out there, not in terms of playing, strictly in terms of tone, even if it was only on one song.

You don't have to list them in any particular order all though you can if you choose, and it doesn't have to be Metal or even distortion tones, list country or acoustic players if you want.

10 of my favourites in random order

1. David Gilmour
2. Old Metallica Rhythm tones
3. Eric Johnson
4. Brian May
5. Angus Young
6. Tom Scholtz (Boston)
7. Old Scorpions
8. Van Halen (brown sound era)
9. Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits)
10.Disturbed's rhythm tone on the Sickness album.

does anybody know anything about this wood? there is a guitar with this wood and ive never herd of it before. any tone differences
between that and mohagany?

I seen this on ebay and snagged it for 1000 and i met the guy and picked it up, When i got it there was a spot on the headstock that looked marked up and it rubbed out and the guitar looks mint, Its a esp dv8 and its a custom shop version and has a set of blackouts in it. This guitar is worth more than the 1000 i paid, I think it was one of the best ebay deals ive gotten in a long time. This guitar sounds and plays awsome.

Just got my hands on the awesome Deluxe edition of the new AC/DC album !
It's now playing on my iTunes, and from what I've heard so far it is very very VERY good



Anyone else is legally buying it today ?

Picked this up off ebay last week (really wanted the pickups) and I gotta say I've never seen one quite this color before. Not sure if I'm diggin it or not, but it's different! No maker's mark on it. I'm building up a black MIM Fender Strat body and this should look nice but I'm just not sure.....
