So, a friend of mine's Cyclone had a gunky fretboard, so I gave him a hand and oiled it up, polished the frets for free. Before I took the strings off, I plugged it in and gave it a, wirle .

These guitars KICK ASS! Completely took me by surprise. Now, this is coming from a Metal head who's only geetars are a Warlock, ESP EX, and Dean ML. The neck was ok, nothing special, a bit too chunky for my taste, but everything else was amazing. Awesome weight, perfect balance, great lower fret access, and good looks. It's a shame Fender has discontinued it, but it makes me wanna get a used one or try out a Jaguar.

Another thing I like about it that I never knew about these fenders is the pup selector is real easy. Like on strats with the blade selector, if you're not fimiliar with them, you don't really know what pups your on, but this one is for... idiots, I guess you can say. Theres basically just 3 2 way toggle switches, and each one turns on/off a pup. Real nice and easy to select your tone. I was surprised at the nice tone from just the middle pup ALONE!

And also, this guitar made me think twice about single coils. Just cause they produce a clearer sound that isn't as fat, doesn't mean you can't use it for Metal. I could play metal riffs on it just fine, and tell you the truth, the bridge pup wasn't much different than my JB in the EX.

AMAZING guitar. I could defiantly see myself grabbing one in the future to break up my family of Metal guitars.

Anyone else have any experiences with them? OH! On to some crappy cell phone pron.







I gave it back to him today as it was all done. Theres a pic of the freshly oiled fretboard there.

For some reason, I can never get my solder joints to be done smoothly. Yes my solder has flux, no I'm not using a weak soldering iron. It takes me a few seconds for the iron to heat up to the point where when solder touches it, it melts on contact. Yet for some reason I can never seem to get an easy, clean solder jonint. Some times I'll get it done only to find that it slipped off the pot. Anyone know what's wrong?

Went and met up with Lannings new band tonight at Arlenes in NYC. Great show. More when I get a little sleep in me. I think Lanning has a pic or two of us from tonight. Like I said, More once I get a little sleep in me.

The Best Dimebolt I've Seen In My Life! BUT WHAT THE F*CK!

$43,000????

ARE THESE US DOLLARS??

do they have a mhg with floyd particularly the mhg ml and v

why do they not list the dime ml shadow on the dean guitars page?

There's a local pawn shop near me that has a black Hollywood Z Bass for $185.00 including tax. I'm not interested but if someone is let me know and I'll pick it up for you. pretty good shape no large dings or scrapes paint is intact, rosewood fretboard.

Hey guys my razorbacks are so so chipped and im just wonderin what is the best way to make them look a little less noticable! i have black nail polish for the black paint but what should i use for the silver?? and do you have any tips or better ideas

Does anyone use this program?

I'm thinking about getting that or Sony Acid.

Has anyone seen any pics of the white or black saltero standard? I still havent seen any other than the TBZ

1000 bucks

and im broke

this blows

my ever changing family

for some reason I am having a hard time finding a tone that I am into. it seems to be changing day to day. for the longest time, I used the same settings and was perfectly happy w/ it. I am using a Randall V-Max 30 right now. Below is a pic of my amp's EQ/Knobs. Got some good suggestions for a Hi-Gain/Metal setting? Post em up! Thanks

Got some pups in the mail and decided to throw em in the TC. Not sure if Im diggin them as much as I used to. They dont have as much punch as the L500XL. Anyway, got a little pr0n of the TCML while I was at it. Might as well, thats what people like here right?

Amazing how different angles of light have so much to do with catching this finish..

Any good place/website? Because when it comes to this stuff i know very little... thanks.

I'm right about to order a new guitar from them, and I know I've heard some good things about the people from there. Anyone ever done dealings with them and can confirm that they are a solid place to order from?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=trBLgcM8tZY

ok thats the show i was at, and the guitar eddie is using is the guitar i fell in love with...

thats the peavey right?

So I've been part of a few limited runs lately, and everytime, someone suggests a Naked Fretboard.

Can somebody explain to me how a naked fretboard is convenient in ANY way?

I know it can look VERY sleak and sexy, but can you really figure out what fret you're on? I know theres the little dots on top of the neck, but I don't usually look there when playing.

Can someone gimme pointers on how someone would go about using a naked fretboard?

I'm just confused thats all.

Wow! This guitar has a licensed Floyd Rose AND a whammy bar!

I was completely blown away byt this photoshop pic made by Tormentor, but I'd love to see that kind of maple top and colour on an ML instead. With all black hardware too Yum...
So can anyone photoshop a "insinerator ML"? That would be awesome IMO

That thing is pretty damned sweet for what it is! I only got to play the secondary version that doesn't have the modules and all that, but it was still a treat to have been talking about it to my other guitar player and we randomly find one at my local shop.

The thing is the same damned size as my RX120D and it even looks like all they did was take a RX120 and shove Kirk's sound into it, but good LORD that thing has a far better sound! Right off the bat, I pulled all the EQ to 12 o'clock and cranked the gain and contour and I got that classic Metallica crunch. Really. Creeping Death, Whiplash, Master of Puppets...All right off the start. I wasn't expecting that at all. I fiddled around with it some more and was able to dial in the sound I use at home (Which is a mix of Metallica and Slipknot.) with my Digitech DF-7 and my Digitech RP-150 through my RX120D and I was blown away at how much better it sounded coming from that amp running stright from my guitar to the head. (And it was my guitar, too. We were coming back from practice and we had all of our equipment still in the truck, so I was able to play my own stuff.) This thing almost sounds better than my Peavey VK...ALMOST! I'd love to hear that amp with tubes.

The only real downfall and problem I had with it was the fact that the response from the EQ dials was crap. The treble, mids, and bass only really did anything when you were either right towards the top of the dial, or at the flat-ass bottom. The contour wasn't that much better, but you could get a far better range, IMO, on that amp than I ever could from my RX120. The double gain controls were neat to have, but why would you have the same two gains to change from? Wouldn't you rather have a gain and a boost to that gain for solos? It seems kinda silly to have the same gain channel for both. And the gain settings for the amp don't really go anywhere. It's either hard crunch or quiet blues. Bleh. (Still, most people are only gonna buy this thing for hard gain anyways.)

I am floored by those amps now, though. I am even in awe at the fact that they are in a decent price range, too! (The dude said they had them for $700 even.) I am now pondering the idea of dumping the RX120 for it. Seriously, that thing kicks ass. Has anyone else tried one of these? Or even one of the $2000 models? Jesus, what the heck do those things sound like?

I've had the 85 in the bridge of my '79 ML for quite some time
and I don't regret getting it.

but ... I need something in the neck as well and seeing as the 85 has alnico magnets
the best bet would be an 60A, which is said to be closer to a PAFish sound.
I started to play with the idea to have the guitar loaded with another 60A,
and have the tone knob connected to the neck only, that way I could get
the woman tone, or atleast something similar. maybe have them out of phase
ala Peter Green(and Gary Moore)

but anyway ... should I stick to the 85 in the bridge or should I exchange
it for another 60A ?

This fine hand-made (as with band saw, router, and hand tools) USA set neck SG will be in my hands next week! Now I absolutely have to sell the eVo. Somebody needs to make me an offer.

I hear the 81/85 aren't a good choice. Are the Blackouts any better? Or is there something else?

There are going to be some changes, as the first week in Nov is gonna have to be pushed back a little, but keep checking back as time gets closer. Just wanted to pre-announce it.

Well Martin and I went to pick up my X2 from the shop today. Boy did he have some news for me.

Apparently the previous owner opened the head up and fu[i][\i]cked with the insides. The tech said that parts were changed and wires were crossed. It was a horrible mess.

The worst part is he told me my X2 was pretty much unfixable. The clean channel works just fine so I can throw a pedal infront but that ruins the point of having an X2 to begin with. I'm kind of bummed but not to much. I didn't invest a great deal of money into it.

Martin said he'd pull some strings and see what he can do. Till then he lent me his Krank Jr and a FBD guitar. The guy is an ace friend. If your ever in the Texas area hook up with him, he'll show you a great time.

Also anyone know where I can find some spare X2 circuit boards?

Mine's gotta be Chris Feener (ChrisFeener). The guy's damn skilled for a 20 year old.

Check out his cover of Scarified:

Well, last weekends alcohol-fueled ebay idiocy turned out VERY well. I picked up a Squier Tele Deluxe II with a set of those Duncan Designed P90s and it flat out SMOKES. Maybe I should get drunk more often. The neck feels great, the fretwork is smooth and straight, the neck pocket is tighter than Borat claims his sister is, and it's got just enough heft in the body to balance out pretty well. It even stays in tune!

I'm quite impressed with these P90-2 pickups. I don't see them listed on the main Duncan site, but I figure they're the same as the P90-1 with ears attached for pickguard mounting. They're loud and clear with cutting mids and a tight bottom-pretty much perfect, IMHO. I don't have much experience with the import Duncan stuff, but if these are any indication, they're holding up their end of the deal over there.

I'd post a picture of it, but it looks pretty much like the stock photos except it's covered in smudges and fingerprints from being beaten up over the last couple hours.

Well...ok.

So after years of playing the lame marshall MG stack, i stumbled accross Lanning selling his 6505 and thanks to Steve at BRG, it was shipped to me. After wondering what cab to get, i decided on the Mesa Rectifier 2x12. They did have any in my country so i went for the stiletto 2x12. It sounds amazing. the best tone i have ever had. so here is the pron, and seeing that i havent posted my dean i thought i would do that too. this is my first time post pron so bare with me if it doesnt work.

Okay, I got royally f%&ked this week, and my new Randall cab is a no show for my show tonight

I have access to a single speaker 4 ohm bass cab - can my 300w Warhead safely power this?!?

From my understanding, the Warhead runs at 4 ohms when each of the 2 speaker outs is plugged into an 8 ohm cab each.

BTW, this will be just used for stage volume & color the sound a bit..., I want to split my bass signal in 2 - 1 going to my Trace Elliot bass amp, and the other into the Warhead tonite.

As a storm of lightning doth savage ye virgin Earth below, thy lords of Thrash doth unleasheth'd an opus upon thine tender ears! Thy Formation'eth of Damnation!

All hail Testament, Lords of thrash! All hail Dean!

hello everyone i just started writing this so its still a rough copy i have a friend thats going to sing and another thats going to do the drum part but right now does anyone have any tips or comments on this ? things that need changed? i know i messed up a bit and my tone was a little off from what i wanted but plz comment me here or on the tube

I'm a guitarist that's been playing for a bit over 1 and a half years now.
i took a few lessons then i stopped.

Sure i can play some good stuff now from using tabs but everytime i hear a guiatrist saying play in E minor, i get confused and ask myself where the f*** is that?! , so it seems that i am a beginner in scales.

If anyone can help/teach me and tell me what are they and where are they, please do.

My new hotness. Just got this from a fellow forumite. It is just what the doctor ordered. I have been trying to get one of these since they came out. Randy (Bucketass) called me last month to let me know he played one and it was one of the most awesome guitars he had ever played and he thought it was perfect for me. He has been trying to help me find the right guitar. I was now on a mission to find one. Everyone was sold out and backordered. Luckily Jaye here on the forum contacted me after he sold his black one and offered the white one to me. Since he lives down the street from me I couldn't say no. Well almost couldn't. I didn't have the money. LOL Luckily my wonderful girlfriend came to the rescue. She now gets my check from Uncle Sam when it gets here. LOL Here are some photos. Pups are EMG 81/60. Yes that is an ebony fret board. This guitar comes with an awesome G&G case too. I played out with it the day after I got it. It performed flawlessly.

The reason why I ask is because I want to name my band "In Death's Embrace", after the Dimmu Borgir song. There are also 2 other bands with the name "Death's Embrace" but I figure since I have that extra word (in), it wouldnt be a violation.

Anyone?

The Randall RG100ES amps came stock with an IC 4558 OpAmp 8 pin DIP chip; does anyone have any experience in replacing this chip with a different chip (i.e.: OP275 8 pin DIP). I have seen threads regarding the replacement of this chip in these amp heads for a different sound - any one done this before - if so, what did you find out?

So here is guitar number 16 for me.

Well I got a Fender Mini Deluxe ombo that is powered by a 9v for free when I bought this Washburn 7 string yesterday. All together I paid $150 plus tax for both of these. The guitar plays great, however the amp sounds like s#%t. The amp looks cool as a novelty next to my Jimmy Page action figure.

So once again my photography skills suck, but none the less here is some pron

is there a way I can move it to the back plate where the neck bolts on? would I have to get a new screw?


Thanks,

Hey all,


Long time lurker; I rarely post, but here goes.

I have read a lot of guitar and amp reviews on this forum which have been very helpful offering insight into what makes a guitar or amp rock/suck according to people's opinions. It is my aim with this post to hopefully give you a little bit more information on a Peavey JSX and what it has to offer (whether it's for you or not... hopefully a cheat guide for you.)

At GC a few weeks back I had played a 6505+, Mesa Dual Rect, and the JSX in search of a better metal tone (than my RG100ES currently.) Long story short, I settled on the JSX; however I didn't purchase then.

I went home and looked all over craigslist and ebay seeing prices ranging from the sale price of ~ $1400 to $650 (believe it or not.. the guy actually decided not to sell it after I contacted him, probably wise on his part.)

Anyhow, I found one on craigslist in my area selling for $800. I haggled him down to $750 (he had a 4 m/o baby girl to support, I felt bad even taking it at this price.) I'm informing you of the price only for the purpose of knowing that it is possible to buy it at that price; used. It was missing the front mirror plate, but hey... aesthetics < tone .

He took me to an industrial area where he worked which gave me the privilege of cranking the JSX there. I was happy to say that the 2 JSX's sounded identical ( i say this because of the discrepancy in sound over the 5150's, 6505's, II's, +'s... you know). Keep in mind, i've only tried two, but the two sounded the same. Anyways, I purchased it off him footswitch, speaker cable and JSX.

I brought it home and cranked it; now to the stuff you probably care about.

CLEAN: First, let me elaborate on the clean channel. It sparkles, plain and simple. Some people hate that, others love it. I find it to be awesome. I EQ'd it correctly to my neck pickup (I like the neck pup for cleans) rather to my bride (BL USA 500XL) and it shines.

I've heard that this channel was built to react well with pedals, so that is what I did. I hooked up my pedal board in this order: Tuner, Phaser, Wah, Delay, 7 band EQ, Noise suppressor. The channel reacted very very well to all the pedals, most notably (I think obviously..) the phaser and the delay.

CRUNCH: The Crunch channel... Ahh. Very excellent tone. All the knobs (as per the Clean channel btw,) are very sensitive and seem to have a very wide range. The added "FAT" switch option also saturates or soaks the gain nicely depending on what your goal is. The tone is heavy, but not melt your face off heavy... a good OD/Distortion pedal in front of it would probably get you the chainsaw tone if that is your goal. The mids can also be messed with to get you to a near Metallica tone, although I'm not interested. Rolling back the volume knobs on both neck/bridge pickups, you can get a very nice Peavey Delta Blues style distortion.

ULTRA: The Ultra channel is identical in EQ to the crunch channel, it just had more gain. Great for soloing and leads. As some reviews I have read have said, it does sound a little bit thin, but for me I'm not going to want break down style tone on a solo, are you?

The resonance and presence knobs are perfect for shaping the overall sound and react very creatively when the treble knob is poked to different places on all channels, gives you that much more of tonal range.

The Noise Gate is great... I get no hiss, buzz or fuss from the amp whatsoever and whatever volume. However, after the GE 7 band EQ is stomped on the noise does increase as I have that pedal also as a boost. To remedy that problem I have a noise suppressor pedal behind that one.

The FX loop on the amp is neat with the standard send/ return level. You can also activate the FX loop via the footswitch. I'm sure this could come in handy and get creative if people wanted a certain set of pedals in front of the amp (say for dist) and a set of pedals in the loop (for clean) or something or other.

The amp is built like a tank and is very sturdy... and heavy. Ohm's are also switchable between 4, 8, 16. I hope there's not anything I'm forgetting. Currently don't have access to a camera or sound clip abilities, but this is the only guitar form I go to/care about, so when the time comes I'll know where the clips will go.

Thanks brothers.

Can someone give me the body's dimensions?

thanks

My wife went out last night and I had the 'house' to myself for a bit. I filmed for about an hour and edited for about 3 or 4.

Enjoy. I have ADHD, so if I haven't explained stuff to your liking, just hit me up on msn.

There's 12 clips, currently uploading them now and tomorrow.

Yeah, I know. Someone else got one too. I've actually had mine for a few weeks now. It's honestly the best guitar I own now. It trumps my USA Fender's, my Razorback, and my Ibanez custom 7 string.



My buddy Fred at my local music store has a white pickguard ordered for me. It'll look much sexier with it being all white.

I think a lot of people on here would really like the guitar. It has a higher heel cut (like the Heafy guitar) so getting up to the 22nd is a breeze (as so it should always be). It has a belly cut too, which is awesome. Not some big awkward block hanging down from your neck. I don't know how I feel about the EMG's. It's my first EMG loaded guitar and I really don't care for them that much.

Overall, this guitar is a 11/10. The fact that it doesn't have Jim Root, slipknot, or Stone sour marked all over it is a HUGE plus. Just a simple signature on the back of the headstock and nothing more.

Just look how much better it looks all white

I just watched it. Really cool, but I thought that USAs were made out of one piece of wood. Can someone please explain why people whine about imports being made out of several pieces of wood when the USAs are too?

Tried the search and didn't find thread about this though I believe that there already is one. Anyway. Here's a pic of my old pedalboard. Will post a pic of the new one when I get my board from our rehearsal place.

Anyone interested on this?


Would they do this one you think? (without the Trivium logo betwen the pups offcourse)
If they would it would be awsome!
would anyone be interested if they would?

All I can say is.....


WOW!!!!


Smokes my Line6, BIG TIME!!!!!

Well I got board today. I swapped out one of the the volume knob with a killswitch on my LTD KH-503, and then add the Vic Rattlehead for president '08 sticker I got at the Megadeth concert a couple weeks ago. So yeah anyways can Vic count on your vote on whatever day the election is?

I like about Sundays? I usually spend the day playing guitars not out in the livingroom on stands. Today I played a few of my "orphans". Woke up and scored another "orphan" off Evilbay and it sent me to some of the case cuties I have.

The new Orphan, a late '90's Hamer Flat top Sunburst import. Issue at 12 fret but fixable and worth the money I belive.



Broke out the 1996 Dean USA Caddy, a 1993 USA Hamer Special P90 with the low E tuned to C#, Dean Korean made P90 EVO Goldtop, 2003 Time Capsule Dean USA Z, and Late90's Hamer Korean made Special HB.
I also played my '79 Hamer Standard tuned half step down and my 2001 Hamer Standard Tuned to Standard A. This was a great way to spend the day after running some errands and doing a lil work for an hour, play guitars for an hour thing from 2pm-8pm.
















I played the major and minor scales in various patterns and riffs in every place I could think of. Not really challenging to most but oh so fun when you find a cool riff or groove. Kept it in the Less is More State of mind. Thing G chords strummed and allowed to ring like AC/DC. The P90 guitars just sang. Gotta get me a metronome.

BTW, I even got outside for awhile to enjoy some sunshine.....Dang, it was warm today....



Life IS Good!

I've had my USA Amber Burst HardTail for about three years now and have throughly enjoyed every minute I've played it. At the time I bought it I really didn't know much about PRS guitars and was basicly a Strat and Les Paul kind of guy. I liked the HardTail because of the look, playability and tone.

Recently I have heard on more than one occation that the Dean HardTail was just a PRS wana be and Deans in general were pretty much just entry level head-banger guitars. This not only made me take offense by that comment but also made me second guess my initial love affair with the guitar.

Putting all emotion aside, I would be interested in points of view from other fellow HardTail owners about the PRS comparison.

I just bought a dean shadow from guitar center.needless to say the setup on it was fricken horrible the neck was bowed trem all the way back in the cavity it was a mess.i figured ill take it home and do my own setup and if i couldent straiten the neck id just return it for my cash no proublem!!.well i got it home ajusted the truss rod did a restring on it and set the floyd level!!wow i couldent believe how good the frets were and how strait i got the neck!!this is the first import i havent had to have the frets leveled and crowned!!the guitar plays amazing and u can whammy the hell out of it and keep in tune.i love this axe out of all my deans its my favorite!!It must be hard for gc to sell the deans they have cause they dont set them up worth a crap before they hit the floor!!

wowzers; although licensed floyd.

Right now I'm using a 1st generation Randall Warhead combo... sounds pretty good, but Im ALWAYS fiddling with knobs I think there might be too many knobs for me lol I change my tone more than any person I know... I've been considering getting a Randall Rg100es to replace my warhead... I want a tone Similiar to Alexi Laiho of children of bodom... Can the Rg100es do this? And what are your guys thoughts on each amp? Which would you rather own?

Edit - and which years Are the best sounding Rg100's? Is there really a a big difference between them? Ill happily wait for a certain year to appear on ebay

I was searching some deal of the day site and found a Pignose G40V for $169.....that is if anyone here other than myself are Pignose fans...I'd get one if I had any room left at my place...

Holy HELL that is sweet!!

I'm thinking of maybe jumping on that baby while theres still some left... but then the KV5 will be coming out at some stage as well....

What do you guys think?

Please don't say the Microcube because I think they sound like crap. I'm giving a nice Stagg Strat copy to a friend's son and was going to give him my Fender Champion 30 amp but just can't part with it, so I've got to buy him one. I want a decent amp that actually usable. I've looked at the smaller Vox and Crate modeling amps and they seem decent. Don't care for the little Marshalls at all. I'd like to buy new but that's not that important. What else is out there that I might get for this price? Thanks.

anybody know what to use to take my guitar signal outta my rack and to split it into multiple outs for running multiple full stacks??some kind of rackmount splitter maybe??

Does anyone here have any good suggestions for Guitar Insurance? I have looked into adding them onto a home/renters policy, however it's not enough insurance. My current policy is now outrageous, and want to do this right. Insured for full-replacement value even if a friend on vacation borrowed one and accidentally dropped it in a campfire kind of insurance.

All advice experience is MUCH appreciated, please PM or post, thanks in advance guys.

In particular an independent retailer? For the record I do, and do you know what really gets on my gazongas is the way people now just go an buy stuff online without even tryin it, then complaining when it isnt what they wanted, then because once the company signs it to the courier its the couriers responsibility, then when the customer signs for it, it becomes their responsibility, and wonder why they have a hard time tring to sort it all out. There are so many reasons to buy at a real shop, and independents are the best! Its just becoming pointless as we are seeming to become a showroom for other peoples web sites. We compete like hell, and we do have a web store, but people just dont seem to want to have the human contact with real shops! They seem to think that ordering online is ALWAYS cheaper, and that there is no change in the level of service from walking in to a real shop, trying a few out, having a good chat, getting the right advice, and being able to go back to the same person if there is a problem, or you want to know what strings to choose or how to alter the action etc, or clicking buy and waiting for it in the post!

Not wanting to rant, but since i have started.... I dont know if any of you read Total Guitar but this month they have come along an printed an article about how to buy a guitar from eBay... Pretty soon there will be no independent retailers, and already some of the big chain stores have either gone bust, gone into liquidation, or administration!

It really p*sses me off!!!!

exciting. yes, I know

So 2 weeks ago I sold my TLTML & my FBD in order to fund some new guitars. I was fine until Saturday as I was only playing my basses in preperation for a show with my band. So now the show is over and I'm chillin' at home with no guitars to play..., looks like I'll be drivin' to NY tomorrow to pick up my #7 Slime and a black MLF that I bought off of forum brothers.

I guess next time I decide to sell gear, I'll have to plan for a back up Dean guitar

I am on the hunt for a Kevin Bond Rhoads V. Is anyone that posts there willing to help me out? PM me if you are - thanks.

just curious as to what you guys think on this one. i dont thin weve ever sat down and discussed it either.

What do YOU think is the most tonally diverse guitar in the dean line? From metal to blues, from folk to rock. What single guitar can pull off the most?


(disclaimer)

were not going to discuss the players technique, or the rig being played thru. this is totally a 6 string guitar discussion about guitars that are available at the time this poll was first run =p.

also note, i cut the poll off at this number because i maxed out the poll. so things like the razorback must be included as an ml for example.

I'm thinking of trading in my ibanez for a '79 ml, and I was wondering what the hardcases that come with them are like. I mean, do they fit the guitar snugly? Are they realiable and can they take a beating? Basically need-to-know stuff since stock hardcases aren't usually described in detail. Thanks in advance.

i heard i sweet song on the radio about a month ago called Shockwave, and i immidiatly loved it...i bought the CD the next day.

i wasnt surprized at all when i found out that The Lead guitar player in Black Tide plays Dean...i mean...why wouldent he....why wouldent anybody?...

whos better than Dean.......NOBODY!!!!

oh yea...That band is really good...some of the Reviews of their CD said that it was obviously done by kids because of the mediocre song arrangements and simple power chord riffs, but screw that, who cares what an overpaid fat guy says, THESE KIDS RIP, and there one of my new Favorite bands

Long live 80s metal

Just saw this on a finnish trade site:

the dude's asking about 1500 dollars for it.
Specs:
- built in 1985
- Mahogany + maple top
- ebony fretboard
- Kahler Flyer -tremolo
- Gibson Dirty Fingers -pups
- 1 volume, 1 tone
-hard case inluded

Is it a good deal? Anyone know anything of these? It just really caught my eye..

Yeah its been a while, and I know lots of people (myself included) have altered/changed their rigs around, so its that time again people, post pics of what your playing through!

Here's mine:

http://cob23.sharebig.com/share.php?id=s13ghhhulooopPAlX

Three years ago The P90 Z was posted as a custom run to be done. IIRC, it was like the thrid or so run done after a Silverburst ML and something else that was done before I hit the forum. It took about 8 weeks to get the idea approved and and get the run carried by a dealer and the general public here interested enough so we could get the run done. I've always maintained it was cause you guys bought one I was able to get one made for me. THANKS!!!!

Two things, who has one, and did you get your photo sets? I know the answers for some but have never known who all owns one. These I know of the 17 for sure: Chuck, Wayne, myself, Ryan has Jag Panzer's, Bri54, Bradworld, Ffej, Jeep, F73's is on at least it's 3rd owner, TNVOL, Sprinter, Jaxx, Ryandante, Trapper189, and the other 3 I probably know but cant guess at the moment. Anyone?

Victoria first up with some Gawd Dang Chickenhead knobbers on 'er! Yum! She's got some Duncan P90s from a '96 Hamer Goldtop Artist in it in the top photo. The second shot was right after it, the prototype, had first came in at Dean.

Then there is the rest of the lot hanging at Dean HQ waiting for deployment.

THANKS on my part also still need to go out to Dave at Bass and Treble Music for running the deal. Mick Donner Dean Guitars Head of Design then and Elliott for listening to the screaming horde that we are sometimes!







http://www.deanguitars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13850

Ok guys i was just wondering something...

how many of you do this also...

i use my wah alot just cause i think it sounds good, but i also use it to get my 2nd fret divebomb, it cant get them w.o. it, i just click it and let it stay level and just so crazy w/ harmonics then kick it off

is that done by alot of people? or is it a stupid idea?

- Jake


i mean i can play the same w.o it, but i can only get the 2nd fret DB w/ it. just wanted to make that part clear lol

***EDIT**
Finally got around to doing some outdoor pictures. They didn't turn out so great. I'm not very good with a camera anyway, but taking pictures of a black guitar seems to be even harder.

So here's the deal i just got a old guitar from someone. its a kramer in the shape of a randy rhoads. it needs two new p/u's and i have two duncan desined p/u's, i have changed pickups before but in my les paul style guitar[two volumes, and two tones] but never in this style[one volume, one tone, pick-up selector] so can anyone help me out tell me how to do it.

Ok so I tune up my guitar (A#, F, A#, D#, G, C) perfectly in tune, my tuner reads these notes out when i pluck each string, yet its not in tune, or should I say, there is something not right with the A# and F strings. When I play a powerchord you can hear instantly its not tuned properly, yet my tuner is telling me it is...wtf? anyone have any idea whats going on?

Just wondering what every one is saving up for this is what i WANT!!!!!!!!!!!! Show some Pic people!!

selling my marshall tomorrow...i am sad =(

ill miss this one, was a good amp and served me well *waves goodbye*










now its time to start shopping for a new amp
got 700-900(a grand tops but really shouldnt) budget for a new head. then ill pair the cab accordingly with the rebate check coming soon. so..........what you guys think/got for sale?

How does a Gotoh Floyd Rose stack up against an OFR? I'm interested in them and I find them for $150 new.

Ok, quick question, on these young guitar vids, whats w/ all the echo? does he normaly play w/ all that? and before he had that zakk wylde overdrive, how did he get so much sustain?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=TVEV-vuCeWA

dont flame if its something simple please lol


Edit: also this is something i always wondered, is there a certain tuning or type of tuning (such as half or quarter step) that harmonics will ring out better with?

i have always wondered that

Does anyone know if they will be making a signature to sell or no?
its the first time in a long time since he has been endorsed and all
was thinking if they were gonna be making a model to sell or whatever
If anyone knows anything let me know please

This post is a call to action for the Dean Guitar Community, Armadillo Enterprises, Inc., Elliott Rubinson, and all members of the Dean Guitar Forum.

The recent cyclone in Myanmar has resulted in an unprecedented degree of destruction and loss of life. It is the duty of those of us who are able, to give what we can toward the relief effort.

Unless you have experienced a taste of what a storm like this can do it is hard to understand the scale of destruction.

Please allow me to make a comparison:
In August of 1992 ml_pilot and myself were part of one of the first relief columns to arrive in Homestead, Florida after the passage of Hurricane Andrew. Even though the USA is far from the state of a third world country the suffering and destruction we witnessed was truly beyond description. The nearly complete destruction of infrastructure in many areas where the storm passed made something as simple as driving a mile down the road, or finding a drink of water almost impossible. There were NO street signs left anywhere, No street signals. The chaos caused by the lack of preparation made giving aid even more difficult. Even in a modern American city, one of the first groups we helped had not had water or food for more than 48 hours. The desperation, hunger, anger, and above all fear in their eyes was a sight that has been burned into my brain for the rest of my days. I will never forget a certain young lady who had lost EVERYTHING, everything that is, except for her little white cat which she had clung to during the whole storm. When I handed her a five pound bag of cat food (very much a last second addition to the load in my van) she embraced me with heaving sobs of gratitude. You would think I had given her all the gold in the world. Sometime the simplest things can mean the most. I promise you that conditions there were far far worse than the media portrayed them.
I know I speak for Neil (ml_pilot) as well as myself when I say that participating in the Andrew relief effort was a life changing experience.
I could go on and on about Andrew, but stop and think for a moment. Myanmar is NOT part of the USA. They do not have anything like our infrastructure. Life there, even in the best of times, is far more difficult than anything we will experience in our lives. Even something as simple as transportation in the delta there requires a huge portion of the resources of the average citizen.

The true extent of the death toll in Myanmar may never be known. Some current estimates are running at more than 100,000. (I know for a FACT the true death tolls in Andrew and Katrina were “downsized” dramatically by the official count. If you feel the need to PM me on that one go ahead.)


It is true that the rulers of Myanmar are little more than petty tyrants, Please do not let that block your sight of the horrible suffering of the common man in the stricken areas.


PLEASE give what you are able. Below is a list of aid agencies that I blatantly copied from msnbc.

mine is Definitly Chaos AD

i would have made this a poll but i dont actually know all of Sep's stuff, but my Dad had all of the old ones and he said Sepultura sucked after Max left and i dont like the new singer

just want to know if u can switch the regular toggle switch with a mini toggle switch

here lately ive been able to become friends with these guys. there fairly big, out on a nationwide tour right now. im just wondering what you guys might think of them.
there called becoming the archetype.

http://free.napster.com/view/artist/index.html?id=12035377

the song elegy is amazing, just give it a listen all the way through.

http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/4/3/5/552435.jpg

has some interesting features. Carbon composite fretboard or something like that and stainless steel frets which kick ass. $1799 price tag though.

What kind of lame excuse for a press release is that?

"Just throw some words down so it looks like we are saying something, while not really saying anything at all."

Is anyone surprised that it is locked, not allowing anyone to comment on it? Double lame.

I know this post will be deleted quite soon, but it should stay. This is as good a thread as any other here.

Having said that, reading the "press release", I kind of got the feeling that Dean Z. was more or less relieved of his duties after the move to consolidate in Tampa (which was long overdue).

That's how it made me feel, although I could be completely wrong, but since nothing was really explained whatsoever, jumping to conclusions and theorizing is all we can do.

Guitar Problems

i can play some decent dime solos and think im a good guitarist. but once i try playin standin with a strap i cant shred s#%t. anyone else have this problem?

Anyone had any experience with them? Im currently searching for a decent bridge pickup for my 79MLF, was going to get a Dimebucker but ive had some people recommend me check out Bare knuckles, particularly the Warpig pickup. Has anyone used this pickup? Would one be good for down tuned modern metal?

Over the time Ive been here I have noticed several complaints about imports whether it be about floyds or flaws in finish, wiring, ect. Seeing them in multiple threads would make any of these complaints hard to track for the company if in fact theya re looking for our responses.

Having never been to Dean in Tampa, I dont know what kind of quality control they have there over the imports. I assume there is a guy or two looking over the imports with a fine tooth comb.

Heres my suggestion. If Dean really wants to be on top of the game with the imports and wants our opinions on things whether it be good or bad although I think the opinions of the bad things should be highlighted here though then the sugestion I am making should be considered.

Wouldnt it make more sense to have the person or persons that are actually looking at these import guitars come here and make a post so we can tell them in one thread what they need to be looking out for? It just seems that some get thier guitars, some are satisfied and some are not. We know there has been quality control issues in the past, why not talk to the people that are buying them and are noticing these things and then concentrate on fixing the problems.

I know people contact the dealer they bought the guitar from when there is an issue, but in my opinion the dealer isnt the one that can fix the problems. It has to come from quality control first. Eliminate the message man in some cases and go straight to the source. Good idea or bad?

Holeee sheet. Makes me feel horrible that I whine about my inability to play. Part of me wants to deny this guy is possible. Part of me is immensely proud of him for overcoming something that I doubt I would have the fortitude to overcome. The rest of me is just stunned into silence.

Stayed home from school today cause I have a mild cold and after last nights concert I really just didn't want to go to school, AND cause I was expecting a guitar, well, at about 8:30 today the Fed Ex truck pulled in, I put my dog in my room, grabbed the package, got a camera, got my knife, and proceeded with the opening.

Packaging material


More packaging Material (this is how you pack a geetar, people)


Case Candy (Jason @ Drum City Guitar Land knows how to satisfy a customer.)

Left to right we got an ESP Catalog, Schecter Catalog, 2 count, 2 extra sets of 10 gauge DR strings, Earnie Ball strap, ESP shirt in my size, and a pack containing 8 picks that were MY choice, 2 hex wrenches, and a big ESP sticker.

Once again, this is how you correctly pack a guitar

If you haven't guessed, it's an ESP V-500. ESPs top of the LTD line V. My first higher grade guitar. IT RIPPS! This thing is so amazing. The balance, whoa my god, sits on your leg so nice, better than an ML (yeah Dimesheep, I went there) and the weight is PERFECT! Nice and big body, and the neck while it isn't as thin as say a VMNT, still is amazing. Especially after I took some 4 grade steel wool to it (it was a bit sticky out of the box, but it's all good now)

Lower fret access is awesome. Now I can finally get down there and just go nuts (which is what I wanted) and with the 24 frets I can now play some Megadeth stuff and have more room to just dick around with.

Now, IIRC, it has dual EMG 81s. The EMG in the neck is nice for my metal sound, it cooperates with my amp pretty good, but, I should say these ARENT very good for cleans. Some time I plan to get a JB/Jazz in there and sell off these ones, but they are doing the job right now.

All in all, I love this guitar. I gave myself the decision to wait 3-4 weeks and get a VMNT1 (I would get the AOD or the GOW) or get one of these now, I don't regret it. Am I saying this is better than a VMNT1? No, I've never played a VMNT1. But I love this guitar enough to be able to say I'm happy with my decision, and THAT'S what matters.

Now I gotta get a case for this. This thing aint going out of the house until I HAVE A CASE FOR IT! I love it too much to risk it.

So yeah, that's my new guitar. ESP stands and delivers once again.

And BIG thanks to Jason @ Drum City Guitar Land. Awesome guy. Top Notch dealer. I'll be making all my Non-Dean purchases through him.

like any?

i kinda dig all that remains.

what metalcore bands you guys like?

just wondering is the price drop I have found at musicians friend geetar center and american muscial supply permanent from $999.99 to 899.99

$4,000 for a Ibanez PS10? I know I'd seen these, not reissue, in stores for around $500. Not recently, but, within a few years. Have these gone up in value like this or is this guy out of the park on this?

My red Dr.Z mini is on the way!!!! Full write up of course, but wanted to see if anyone else wants to chime in on them... Thanks Chuck and JP for the inspiration!

Then to hunt down it's second half!

Let's talk about the players that were victims of the Rock N roll lifestyle and sank in deep and never were able to get it back on track again.

I'll start with the guy who thought he'd achieved instant stardom when replacing a well known member of what was then the biggest metal band on earth.


Vinnie Vincent.

When Vinnie Vincent was hired by Kiss he brought the shred element in that band and a songsmith with kickass tunes which made all the difference in getting Kiss's credibility back on track with two KILLER albums "Creatures of the night" and "Lick it up" for a while Vinnie Vincent was the "hot new guy"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yptx5PX-VIs
Vinnie Vincent doing a solo during the 1984 "Lick it up" tour

However, Vinnie forgot the first rule: you have to pay your dues if you want to make it big. When Eric Carr replaced Peter Criss, Carr made himself loved by the fans by being humble, outgoing and accepting that the road to stardom would take small steps. Even now seventeen years after his death Eric Carr is remembered by Kiss fans as a true member of the band, one that paid his dues and enjoyed the merits.

Vinnie Vincent however went into instant-diva. Talked big about himself, treated fans and other bandmembers like s#%t, raring to living the life of a star before he even got on the road with Kiss. Gene Simmons described Vinnie in the "kiss exposed" documentary as the "Most self-destructive" person he knew.

As we all know now it wasn't Vinnie who would become the accepted Kiss guitarist, the one who was worthy of taking Ace Frehley's place, that honor went to Bruce Kulick.

So what is Vinnie doing now? Not much really except from making appearences at Kiss expo's where he appears donning the make up and acting like a star.

And as for his playing?

I'm sure I'm a real minority here, since most of the musicians I've seen and played with have no problem creating tunes together right on the spot. For some reason, I can't do this. I need to be alone in a quiet room with Guitar Pro to write any of my own stuff. When people try to jam with me spontaneously I just go blank. What little I CAN come up with usually sounds incredibly boring and stale, but the people I HAVE played with usually really like the stuff I write on my own when I present it to them.

I don't know if this is a problem or not, I just wanted to know if anyone else on here was in a similar situation.

So yeah I suck at soloing, and I really need to fix that. Anybody know some songs with some easy-medium solos?

Recently I've been trying to play some songs, and I can never finish the whole song because I can't play the solos , and I end up just knowing some riffs. And I feel so noobish when I cant learn a full song.

Or does anyone know some like excerises I could so to help me improve my speed, besides playing scales as fast as I can?

I appreciate any help and/or advice.

Dean 30th anniversary ML? I have seen it online and am considering saving for it, prob be around october when i can afford it but its about £900ish. The only thing is that it has no floydage, so just wondering what your thoughts are?

Hey! I found some awesome pics of the new dfh slime on ebay!

whats the longest song you guys have ever heard?

The Odyssey by Symphony X is 24 min 7 sec

2112 is another really good one

I think I may be to big of a geek. How about we try and put together a World of Warcraft Guild for us Dean fans? Or am I the only nerd that plays this game on here.

So a friend of mine and I played in a talent show my college had a couple weeks back... We won! haha But ya we played

Welcome home-Coheed and Cambria
Freebird
Raining Blood
Freebird
Raining Blood
and ended with
Domination

And ya I know we messed up a lot, i Know the guitar tone doesn't sound too good, i borrowed a friends amp for the show cause mine was getting fixed, but anyway, it was a blast, and it made me $250 richer... here's the videos, had to split them up into two cause it was too long, we were only supposed to be out there five mins, and we played eleven

Part one Welcome Home

if you can't make it out, its CJD, my initials, and then XIII on the 1st fret for my band Thirteenth Order.

Alright here's the situation. I have a Gibson Explorer with a Kahler 2330 Flyer Tremolo, seen here:

http://www.kahlerparts.com/images/2330.jpg

It's really old. The guitar itself is actually a few months older than I am. My question is, would I be able to buy a brand new Kahler 2300 and plop it in there without any additional routing or drilling? Yes, I have emailed their website but I thought I'd get a faster response on here. Thanks.

hey does any one have any funny pictures if so send me show me some

Rottingcorpse (Martin) lent me his Krank Rev Jr. head last week and I've been jamming on it like crazy. I just love the little thing. It's loud as hell but it's got enough gain to keep it down at apartment level and still sound good.

Anyway I jumped on the bandwagon and recorded some fast clips. Nothing special just some general sound stuff. The camera I have blows but this time it sounded ok. Check em out yea?

so, ESP has released a crapload of new Lefty guitars. unfortunately for me, they're all really s#%t low end models. as much as i hate a bolt on "metal" guitar...i still love the shape

so how are the LTD 50 - LTD 200 series? waste of money?

Hey guys, just a quick question. When i do my pinch harmonics i might not get all the sound i want in it when i downstroke the pinch harmonics,
but for some reason ive been finding that its alot easier for me when i upstroke on the pinch, and get a much cleaning squeal.
does anyone else do their pinch harmonics backwards?

A 2 hour drive and an hour standing in the pouring rain with my sweetie, we eventually got to meet the guys. It was pretty cool. Got some things signed too.

Took lots of pics, here's just a few:

how do you guys think these inlays would look scalloped?.........im getting to th pint where i dont care how the inlays come out i want SCALLOP

Ive been struggling with this and I think I finnaly almost have it licked. So for example say if you got a time sig. like 6/8 would it be possible to play 16th notes or a diffrent type of note value in that time? Or would it change the time sig completly.

Looking for a guitar for under 400. Doesnt really matter what brand it is..I just want it to have all or some of these features

I'm looking for a guitar with a classic body shape (SG, Les Paul, Strat (not super strat unless it is much like a real strat) Explorer. No V's.
Set or neck thru neck...and If it has to be a bolt on I guess it's fine
Floyd Rose tremolo or similar.
Locking nut ouviously
High gain pickup I guess since there are none that have more of a classic crunch with a metal feeling too.
At least one humbucking pickup. Maybe an H/S/H set up


Hard to find? Can it be found?
Show me some guitars that fit my description of what I want.
Thanks

never seen this monstrosity.....

Sorry for making another pickup thread, but ive just stumbled upon the swineshead website and they look pretty kickass. I was wondering if anyones had any experience with either the Venom or the Xbucker? Both are only £50 and im very interested in buying one of them. Which one would be better? The Xbucker has more gain but does that mean its better?

if anyone has these,pm me. building a couple of guitars for a buddy.

strat neck...preferably boat cut,with floyd nut already cut(i know too specific,but you never know who's got what parts laying around)

floyd trem or licenced floyd. need the block size if you have one.

thanks guys,martin

Just a thought: can't you compensate tone suckage from pedals etc. without true bypass with and EQ?

EXHORDER IS BACK IN BUSINESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm just curious as to why dean made the two tone stealth without a floyd. I'm not trying to criticize dean or offend anyone, I just always thought of floyd rose, whenever I thought of dime, you know getcha pull. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows as to why the stealth model has not floyd? Also whenver I saw dime with his washburn stealth, it had a floyd on it, so... just inquiring... any info is appreciated.

how do you learn songs
i hate using tabs but my ears suck
any tips
thnx

I know no one likes a bragger but i've never had a youtube video of myself (really hate technology) so i had my friend put two parts of a jam session i had with a couple guys. The drummer changed a bit in the second part I thought.

Hey guys, i have so many ideas for my first tattoo, and i decided i have to get the CFH on my arm, problem is, i dont know what to put around it to make it "fuller"

i want like the cfh style like rex has, but then i wanted like flames around and/or in it, but then im not sure of what would look the best, cause i wanted flames to come from the bottom and top in a diamond type shape, but idk, it might not look good, and i cant draw...

so...

what im asking is...

if any of youse have a CFH tattoo, can you post it? i need some idea's, im not gonna take anybody tat, i just need more ideas

i was poking aroung a local pawn shop and came across a marsall mg amp hooked up to a jcm 900 cabinet. i was wondering if i could hook my peavey valve king 212 up to the cabinet and use the combo amp as a head.

I want to change the pickup in my esp al-600. Which one would be best for a very heavy sound?

Damn thing cost almost to the penny what a Dean ML 79F was going to cost me. I'm kinda pissed.

I repainted my Vendetta XM from black to white. Because, as I said, I got board and had access to spray paint. I'll have to get strings for it tomorrow, since there isn't any guitar shops open on Sunday around me.

BTW the marks on the left side are from camera flash, they aren't there in person.

I have noticed alot of people around here would like a washy trendkill but cant get there hands on 1.

well! since i sadly dont have any money i cant buy this but i found it on the net just now

http://av.uk.freeads.net/music/guitars/Mint+unplayed+washburn+dimbag+dime+333+trendkill-170008.htm

thought someone here might be intrested

really been diggin there s#%t lately, i love jus osborn's tone dont know much about what he uses really though except most of its vintage stuff (but at shows i think he uses a a mesa head and a marshall 4x12), so if anyones one got any ideas and the setup or his geets let me know!

Combine the lighting with the bass, and the camera, Rex's bass paint job looks identical to the MAB armourflame... to me at least. What do you think?

As soon as I get a weekend without rain Im burning a failed project


The Heretic Scarab...is going to be destroyed..

We got as far as the body and we just lost interest...its been almost a year and its now chipped and broken


Ill post pron


Please no flaming

Bought this the other day from a local mom & pop music store in my town. I am very surprised and happy with the sound and the playability of this guitar, with new strings I'm sure it will even be better.

(yes, the stripes are gone )

where is that big ass ml that one of you guys was working on? hows it going with that?

I was with my daughter at Wal Mart the other night, (a place you will very rarely find me) And the shape of a Dean guitar caught my eye. The silhoutte of an ML was prominately featured on a Hannah Montana jersey.

After years of searching and thousands of dollars being wasted on gear, I have finally came to my senses; and have came to my senses in a very 70's kind of way. I got to thinking of my favorite players and how they did things... Four bands came to mind...

Tool
Thin Lizzy
Led Zeppelin
The Melvins

They didn't really use too many effects, Les Pauls were in play and volume knobs and one channel amps were played with. And one in particular made me buy a Rat. So here you have it...

Guitars:
1997 Gibson Les Paul Classic
2006 Gibson SG Standard
Backups:
2006 Fender Jimmie Vaughan Stratocaster
2004 Dean Hardtail Select

Effects:
ProCo Vintage Rat w/ LM308 Chip
Dunlop Zakk Wylde Crybaby

Amp:
1968 Fender Bassman rehoused in a Dual Showman head modded for Marshall Cathode Follower, a Tube Rectifier, and spring reverb
Marshall 1960a Cabinet



I've definitely slimmed it down quite a bit... No rack gear, not an ungodly large effects chain... Just the most natural, rich sound I could get with as little as possible. I'm a very very satisfied person right now!

-Braun.

From what I gather from reading about them you have to have a pa system of some sort to use them. Is it possible to use a talkbox with out one, or is there any kind of them manufactured specially like this.

Hey guys, i have been looking at gretsch guitars, i played a few and they were really comfortable, and i actually kinda dig the tone

problem is... i only play metal and a few other songs that arent metal, so the tone wont really work with the songs i already know and the songs i write

i wanted to get into playin the blues, but the only people i have watched play had either strats or a gibby firebird

i understand i can learn more types.

but from the point im at now, what kinda stuff would they be good for?
are they good for the blues?

i understand this is kinda a below 70 IQ type question, and its 1:30 in the morn right now so i might not make too much sense, but i dont know how else to put it...

if i like the feel, would it be worth purchasing one with the stuff i know right now? (thats the best way i can explain it)

Yes, i know its the dean forum.... but quick question

the BB King guitar, lucille

i read somewhere its a solid body, but then i saw its a semi-hollow w.o. F-holes

what is it? anybody know for sure??

i read that its a es-355, which it said was a solidbody, but then i looked it up and its like a rare semi-hollow

so im confused on the matter

what is lucille?? (the guitar type i mean)



and then also, is that the guitar that bb king uses always? or what else does he use?

...I'm just gassin' way too much waiting for these babies to drop!

Anybody else feelin' it???....



I can't stop staring at those pics from NAMM and the main website. They just look awesome! Can't wait till mine arrives ...the 'last' guitar I'm buying for some time to come, my first roundie in years...not counting that grenade from the bar the other night...yipes

hi guys. someone selling a dean cadillac here for really cheap,but no pictures, so i hope you could figure it out what is the guitar and is it any good.


its a Czech,sunburst color,Bolt on this is the only details i have..

any help?


thanks guys.

do you guys like Muse?

ive only heard a couple songs but they dont sound to bad

So attempted to relic my Telecaster copy. It looks shittier now which I think is the point of relicing. Even though I'm not really a fan of relics, I had nothing better to do to it.

Pretty cool!



And I know others will have crap to say, so lets hear it?

Ino over the years Mick has used hundreds of different guitars. (My favorites being his kramers) but does he have a contract with fender now?

Because any recent footage ive seen its all he plays when he used to be quite happy to pull out a Les Paul or such like

And heres another thing, if he isnt under contract with them, or anyone else for that matter, would anyone be intrested in seeing him rocking a dean with motley crue working on a new album?

maybe put a soltero or ml in his hands? just a thought

what do you guys use to sand down the paint of your guitar bodies and what type of oil is best for a natural mahogany finish?i want to make my ibanez saber into a natural mahogany finished saber

thanks bros

Okay, these always pop up on EvilBay, but IMO, the Bass Whammy is just a Whammy II pedal with a few different functions.

Bass Whammy, $600 - $650 seems to be the going rate:

http://montreal.en.craigslist.ca/msg/671702457.html

Whammy II, these go for $150 - $175 lately:

I know that the Whammy II has an IVL chip in it (like the WH-1), but I know that it doesn't compare in sound with the original for some reason. Here's the good one, made in Canada, these are getting real hard to find these days:

Anyone know why that Bass Whammy is so disirable?!? Did they only release it once, and that was it

Because if it didn't it would sound like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPvOF-Uq4js&eurl=http://www.metalsucks.net/?p=5323

Fast forward to 6:20.

hey guys i was just wondering what a good song was on guitar i am looking for somthing metal or rock so tell me some good song please

hey whuts up what is some song that you guys like just curious

Hi all. I'm officially a Dean owner. UPS was kind enough to drop off a new V79 blueburst. I went over this pretty thoroughly and really, it's a great guitar. Frets and finish work are excellent. Neck needed no adjustment, only string height. After tuning and intonation I put it through the paces and it comes up a winner. Great player, the neck is a good size for my hands which aren't meathooks. I'm not sure what shape they're calling the neck but I'd say a D or flat C shape, much like my Hamer, comfy. Block inlays are well done.

Stock electronics are as expected, not bad, I had hoped the volume pots would be isolated to the respective pickup, but thats not a big deal. Stock pickups are ok, the bridge has a thick bottom and interesting upper midrange while the neck is a little fuzzy. Good enough for me to leave in for now.

It's bigger to wear than I anticipated, but it's light enough and hangs well. Awesome access to upper frets. I'm fast becoming a V fan.

Let me say the case this came in is killer. Full sized rectangle, no fooling with V shapes, really a great piece.

All in all a great guitar, not just for an import.

Went to the pawn shop today and discoved what might be the coolest looking guitar i've ever seen...For $100 (Yes, it will be mine.) As far as i've read, it's a Japanese guitar made in the 60's/70's. It's a Fender Jaguar shape with an ENORMOUS Fender style HS. It had a nice, chunky neck and a decent feel. The mojo? It was imminent. The finish was cracked, it was beaten, scratched, everything. That's what I like my guitars to look like. To hell with the abalone binding and inlays with fancy quilts and flames or shiny, glossy finishes. Beaten up guitars is where it's at for me, and i'm about to get one.

A Bugera 6262.

Ordered it from American Musical on Saturday about 6 PM. Gonna be on my doorstep later today. Awesome speed for free ground shipping.

Also, this is my second expensive purchase from American Musical. My first was my Fernandes, now this amp. I got a personal call from them telling my amp was shipped and I'll see it tomorrow. Also they were wondering if I had any questions and they are gonna call me next week to see how I like the amp.


I love this company.

Also, the fuses, cause they were having problems. They are 3.15A slow burns right?

Alright guys, had these a while (July 2006) been meaning to upload them. This is at donnington (Download) 2006, and as you can see i got right to the front!

Enjoy!

Just bought a Dimebucker for my 79MLF, ive wired it in like the seymour duncan instructions said, but somethings not right, im getting a very weak signal from the pickup, ive followed the diagram correctly as far as i can tell, red and white arent used, green and bare goes to top of pot, black to the connector on the side, that right isnt it?

Hey there...

I'm not sure how many of you know Scar Symmetry, but they're supposed to release their 3rd album very soon, and I found this "studio report" with them...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ho1AV80h-kM
...Dean Contents start around 1:40...
If you don't know the band, don't let the vocalist's fooling around in the booth fool you... Check out their album "Pitch Black Progress" and I promise you, you'll love it...!!!

Ozzfest isn't a summer long tour this year. They're only playing one show on Aug. 9th in Dallas. The one concert I look forward to going to every year, I can't go.

Even though Metallica will be there too, I wouldn't be able to afford to make it down there. Oh well...there's always the Mayhem Festival.

For those of you who do live near Dallas, the info is on ozzfest.com

does anybody have any experience with them particularly the drop and gain humbucker?

So who uses anvil cases or the like for their amps? And where did you get them?

I need something for the Bugera

And a Dean endorsee too! Not only does this guy shred awesomely, but I really dig his music.
Check it out!

I was considering getting the z in a few months but then i ran into the ml on ultimate guitar and now i think I'm gonna get that. Are they still available and how much do they cost? Were can i get it? Ive heard that the pickups aren't too hot. Would i be able to switch pickups and put the gold covers on the new pickups because i want all the hardware to be gold because that looks wicked sick. Does anybody have pron of either guitar that you could please show me preferable of the neck(i want to see how thick it is and how smooth it is where it meets the body). Thanks.

I am still a n00b in regards to tubes, however I finally "get it." Within minutes realized how expressive they are, and how they act. SS is very deceiving in this respect. I hope it doesn't drive me nuts! Anyway just thought I would share, obligatory pr0n below. Anyone looking for a class A tube amp, this thing ROCKS! It's dirty, throaty, and can get glassy clean - add a little distortion, adjust the volume to the breakway peak of the speakers and it flat-out ROCKS.

I need a really good cab for this thing - if playing through that cheap Crate sounds this good, I can only imagine how good this can get! at 20lbs or less it's easy to carry too!!!!

at ozfest this year ahahahhaha its about time!

so i just got my Boss Gt-8 and i can't figure out how to hook it up to my amp. i can use head phones with it and hear it but not my amp. idk what to do. it has a phone jack an effects loop and two outputs and everything i try doesnt make sound...

Ok, so I have a Line 6 Spider III head. And I don't care for it anymore. I used to run a JCM 900 Dual Reverb. That was a sweet head. The guy that has it now, won't sell it back to me. So I'm checking out the Carvin MTS Head. Any of you have any experience with them or this amp? THe price is good, but does the tone suffer?

Hello i have not been on here in a while. Lots of new faces.

lets talk about em.

played one? like em? hate em?

like deans' 7's? prefer another one. i need to get some 7 knowledge under my belt

Well I was jsut changing out the pots in my newly aquired Stealth to CTS brand 500k and found that they did make a big improvement. I think ill order these for all my other guitars. Now I dont usually mess with wiring for the pots, I normally just wire em up how the manufacture recommends. I decided to unhook the capacitor on the tone knob and WOW!! Everything is so much more open and clear sounding. I tell you right now, the tone knob are getting unhooked in my other guitars. This made a big improvement in the overall sound. I had heard about people unhooking the tone knob before but I never tried it. I very rarely use it so I cant believe it took me this long to figure it out. From now on, any guitar I get, thats the first thing to go.

So, have any of you done this?

That's right.

Does anybody have some ideas of what will pop up from Dean at sumemr NAMM?
Anything at all?

I been wondering, I seen a photoshop Mark (Jag Panzer) had done a while ago, where he put a picture of the girl from the Office on a Soltero

Anyone know how to do this? To get a picture and sort paste it onto something else?

Need help tabbing a tiny little riff

i have tried watching it, but i just cant learn it

its in Drop C

and i have looked at tabs and they are wrong.

OK. IN CONTINUATION OF MY PREVIOUS REVIEW. I BOUGHT ONE OF THESE BEFORE SO I CAN LEAVE AN AMP AT MY DRUMMERS HOUSE FOR REHEARSAL. I DONT WANT TO LEAVE A 2 GRAND ENGL THERE. SO I BUY ONE FROM SAM ASH. THEY SENT ME THE 2X12 COMBO INSTEAD. SO MANY PEOPLE WERE HAVING ISSUES BLOWING FUSES , I DID NOT WANT TO KEEP THE WRONG AMP INCASE I NEEDED WARRANTY. SO I SENT IT BACK AFTER 31 DAYS. YOU HAVE 45 DAY RETURN POLICY BUT I DIDNT WANT TO FORGET SO I SENT IT BACK. SO ONCE I DID THAT, THEY WERE ON BACK ORDER SO I CANCELLED MY ORDER TO GET THE HEAD SHIPPED TO ME. MEANTIME I BOUGHT A 5150II HEAD AGAIN. SOLD IT ON EBAY FOR 100 BUX MORE THAN I BOUGHT IT FOR , JUST COULDNT GET INTO IT AFTER HAVING ENGLS. NOT THAT THE 5150II WAS BAD. IT WAS GREAT BUT TOO MUCH A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IT AND THE ENGLS TO KEEP IT.

SO I ORDERED THE BUGERA AGAIN. I TRULY BELIEVE THE ISSUES PEOPLE HAVING WITH THEIR FUSES BLOWING IS RELATED TO 2 THINGS. CHEAP TUBES AND OPERATOR ERROR. THATS NOT A SLAM TO ANYONE. I THINK IT IS TRUE AND NO ONE WILL ADMIT TO IT. YOU GOTTA USE THE STANDBY SWITCH. YOU CANT LEAVE IT IN YOUR CAR FOR HOURS IN THE COLD BRING IT IN AND TURN IT RIGHT ON. YOU CANT HAVE IT ON AND OFF OF STAND BY AND JUST START PULLING YOUR CORD OUT OF THE INPUT. IVE NEVER HAD ISSUES DOING THAT BUT I HEAR IT IS BAD FOR THE CIRCUIT ON TUBES AMPS.

FOR THE GUYS WHO THINK THEY ARE PEAVEY CLONES THEY ARE WRONG. IVE OWNED THE ULTRA PLUS, 5150, 5150II AND XXX. AND HAVE HAD THEM ALL OPEN. THE BUGERA LOOKS NOTHING LIKE A PEAVEY INSIDE. THERE ARE SIMILARITIES TO THE CHANNELS AND EFX LOOP ON THE OUTSIDE BUT THE CIRCUIT BOARDS AND COMPONENT OUTLAY IS NO WHERE NEAR SIMILAR. THERE IS ONLY ONE IC IN THE ENTIRE AMP OF THE BUGERA. THE PEAVEYS HAVE QUITE A FEW. ENGLS HAVE A TON MORE WHICH IS ODD CAUSE THE ENGLS SOUND BETTER AND IT COULD BE FOR SWITCHING CHANNELS AND STUFF. I DONT KNOW. THE IC ON THE BUGERA IS FOR THE CLEAN CHANNEL CIRCUIT TOO NOT THE GAIN CIRCUIT.
THE PC BOARDS ARE THICKER THAN PEAVEY TOO. I DONT HAVE A MICROMETER BUT ID SAY TWICE AS THICK. NOT AS THICK AS THE ENGLS PC BOARD OR EVEN THE DUAL RECTIFIER I OWNED. THOSE ARE SOLID LIKE CLOSE TO 3/8' INCH THICK. SOMEONE ONCE SAID THAT THE BUGERAS HAD MISSING SOLDER AND COLD SOLDER JOINTS. I DONT SEE ANYTHING LIKE THAT ON HERE. SEEMS TO BE LIKE ANY CIRCUIT BOARD YOU SEE THESE DAYS. MACHINE MADE AND AS GOOD A JOB AS ANY. I KNOW MY ENGLS HAVE SOME SOLDER JOINTS THAT ARE HAND DONE THAT LOOKS LIKE MY SLOPPY WORK. THAT DOESNT MAKE IT BETTER OR WORSE JUST DIFFERENT. THE COMPONENTS LIKE THE RESISTERS AND CAPACITORS , RIBBON CABLES AND SUCH LOOK TO BE AS DECENT AS ANY. I'M NOT ELECTRICIAN BUT THEY USED LARGE RESISTORS INSTEAD OF THE DINKY ONES YOU NORMALY SEE ON COMPUTER PC BOARDS. SHRUGGS. THE ENTIRE THING SEEMS MADE BETTER THAN A PEAVEY CEPT THE POTENTIOMETERS AND THE TRANSFORMERS ARE PROBABLY MADE IN CHINA. THE CASE, THE STEAL VENTS, SCREWS AND CIRCUIT BOARDS ARE BETTER.

PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN. MY APOLOGIES FOR THE POOR QUALITY. ALL I HAVE IS MY SONY WALKMAN CAMERA PHONE.


PRETTY STANDARD AMP PACKAGING


HERE IT IS TURNED ON


YOU'LL NOTICE THE TOP VENT. IT IS NOT PLASTIC LIKE MOST AMPS. IT IS STEEL OR SOME FORM OF METAL. ALSO THE WOODEN BOX SEEMS TO BE VERY LIGHT. POSSIBLY POPLAR. SIMILAR TO LINE6 BOX QUALITY. DEFINATELY NOT MESA QUALITY. THE AIR VENT FENCE IS NOT FLIMSY LIKE PEAVY. ITS SOLID STEEL OR METAL.NOT WIRE. IT WAS LIKE THEY TOOK A PIECE OF STEEL AND DRILLED HOLES INTO IT.




FIRST THING I NOTICED IS EVERY SCREW HOLDING THE AMP TOGETHER IS A MACHINE SCREW AND NOT WOOD SCREWS LIKE PEAVEY . EVEN MY ENGLS THE VENTS ARE WOOD SCREWED ON. THE BUGERA IS ALL MACHINE SCREWS INTO NUTS. THE CHASIS COMES OUT WITH MACHINE SCEWS LIKE EVERYONES BUT THE VENT PLATES AND THE SCREENS ARE FASTENED WITH MACHINE SCREWS.



THE AMP HAS A NICE RF SHIELD ON THE BOTTOM OF THE CASE TO SHIELD THE COMPONENTS ON THE CHASIS. IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THAT BEFORE ON AN AMP.


ALL THE PREAMP TUBES CAME WITH COVERS. I SUSPECT THEY ARE RUBY TUBES. THEY HAVE A BIG C PRINTED ON THEM FOR CHINESE. YOU'LL NOTICE THE 6L6/EL34 SWITCH. 333XL COMES WITH MY FAVORITE POWER TUBES. EL34. I BELIEVE THESE ARE SOVTEKS RELABELED AS BUGERA BRAND. I SUSPECT THEY JUST BULK ORDER THEM WITHOUT TESTING AND IS THE CULPRIT IN THE FUSE BLOWING DILEMMA WE HAVE BEEN READING ABOUT. MAYBE THERE IS A WORSE ISSUE WITH THESE AMPS THAT IF HAPPENS TO ME HAPPENS BEFORE MY 45 DAY RETURN POLICY.

ALSO YOULL NOTICE THE NICE GASKET ON THE TRANSFORMER WIRES GOING INTO THE CHASIS. THAT IS EXTRA NICE. EVERY AMP I HAVE EVER OWNED HAS JUST HAD A PIECE OF ELECTRICAL TAPE WRAPPED AROUND THE COLORED PLASTIC COVERING OF THE WIRE.
ALSO A BIAS PROBE ON THE CHASIS AND BIAS NOB. JUST LIKE PEAVEY. IM SURE THEY BORROWED IT DIRECTLY FROM THEM AND PROBABLY USE THE SAME MANUFACTURE FOR THAT CIRCUIT BOARD.


EL34S. IF YOU GET ONE OF THESE AMPS I WOULD RECOMMEND NOT TO PUT JJS IN IT. THEY RUN HOT AND BLEW UP A BUNCH OF PEAVEY XXX AND JSX AMPS WHEN THEY WERE COMING STOCK WITH THEIR AMPS. SO PEAVEY STOPPED USING THEM.


YOU CANT TELL IN THE PICTURE BUT THE TRANSFORMER HAVE THIS CHROME VENT COVER BOLTED TO THEM. NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT. IM SURE THEY ARE CHEAP CHINESE TRANSFORMERS THOUGH. THEY SAY BUGERA ON THEM.



OK HERE IS THE MAIN REASON EVERYONE WHO EVER TOUCHES ONE OF THESE SAY THEY ARE CHEAPLY MADE. NO ARGUMENT THIS IS CHEAP RIGHT HERE. THE POTENTIOMETERS ARE NOT THE TYPE YOU ARE USED TO SEEING IN YOUR GUITAR THEY ARE THESE LITTLE SURFACE MOUNTED ONES WITH EXTENDERS ON THEM TO REACH THROUGH THE CHASIS WITH THE NOBS CONNECTED TO THE EXTENDERS. THEY DONT TOUCH THE HOLES SO THEY WIGGLE A BIT DUE TO THEIR LENGTH FROM THE PC BOARD TO THE OUTSIDE. IM SURE PEOPLE WILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THESE IN THE FUTURE DUE TO USING THEM WITH WEAR AND TEAR ON THE SOLDER CONNECTION.


AGAIN IM NOT ELECTRICIAN OR AMP TECH BUT THESE WHITE CIRCLE THINGS ARE THE PREAMP TUBE SOCKETS. THEY ARE THE NICEST LOOKING ONES I HAVE EVER SEEN. THEY LOOK NICER THAN THE ONES IN MY ENGLS. OBVIOUSLY THAT DOESNT MEAN THEY ARE NICER. THEY COULD BE FISHER PRICE NICE. MAYBE SOMEONE LIKE LEWN CAN SET US STRAIGHT ON THAT.


HERE YOU WILL NOTICE 4 FUSES ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE AMP ITSELF. THIS IS THE REASON I THINK IT IS THE POWERTUBES BLOWING THE AMPS. I THINK THESE WOULD BLOW IF IT WERE AN AMP PROBLEM. THE FUSE TO THE POWER SECTION IS THE THING BLOWING FOR EVERYONE. NOT THE PREAMP SECTION FUSES. AGAIN HOPEFULLY MARK LEWN OR SOMEONE ELECTRONIC SAVY CAN EXPLAIN.


HERES THE ONLY CHIP I COULD FIND.









HERE ARE MY CLIPS FROM WHEN I HAD THE COMBO
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=479598

AGAIN IM NOT SAYING IT IS AN AMAZING AMP. ITS GREAT FOR THE MONEY. WE SHALL SEE IF IT BREAKS DOWN OR NOT. I LIVE CLOSE ENOUGH TO A RADIO SHACK TO GET SOME FUSES IF NEEDED AND ALREADY OWN SOME OTHER TUBES TO REPLACE TO TEST MY BAD TUBE THEORY IF THIS ONE DIES. I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT DIE BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL. I ONLY COMPARED IT TO PEAVE BECAUSE THATS WHAT EVERYONE SEEMS TO DO. I ALSO COMPARED IT TO ENGL CAUSE THAT IS DECENT QUALITY THAT I AM FAMILIAR WITH . NOT THAT I THINK ANYTHING IS THE BEST OR WORST. ID SAY THE BUGERA IN SOME WAYS IS MADE BETTER THAN PEAVEY BUT WORSE FOR THE NOBS AND TRANSFORMERS. IT IS ALL AROUND LESS QUALITY THAN ENGL BUT A 4TH THE COST TOO. I SAY THEY ARE BETTER THAN PEOPLE GIVE THEM CREDIT FOR DUE TO THE NAME. AGAIN WE SHALL SEE. MAYBE I WILL CHANGE MY MIND.

as the resident sevendust junkie of the dean forums, i gotta say, i really dont dig this album at all.

that said, its kinda cool to see a soltero in a music vid. i guess john's moved on from z's.


is clint playing a prs singlecut? i cant quite make it out watching the vid.


also.... i have no clue what this video is about....

I tune the guitar, lock the nut, then go to play, do a little divebomb then, @#$%&$@, I'm out of tune....

someone please recommend some solutions for me to try.

I've been listening to 'The Great Southern Trendkill' for goin on a week straight now and i was wondering if anyone knows what gear Dimebag used on the album and what his EQ levels were? if ya'll don't know, that's cool, i'm just loving his tone on that album. Thanks in advance.

i was watchin a godsmack video and thought back to the shows i have seen of them. there guitar player is pretty dam good but isnt talked about. so who do u all think are some inderapericaited guitar players?

We all have our stories.

I was a drummer from about 3 years, i was pretty good, but i didnt like it that much. That reason was probobly because i wasnt really into music. Then, i quit drums. In that time, started to get into metal. Unfortunately, the bands that i got into were kind of crappy bands when i look at it now (System of a Down, Celldweller, Drowning Pool.) Thats when i decided to pick up guitar. From that, i fell in love with guitar. For about 2 months, i played a tiny Larivee acoustic that was in my basement. Then my birthday came. I wanted a simple electric guitar, and my parents got me a pretty cheep deal. 90 bucks was an electric guitar (arianna or something) came with picks, 10 watt amp, strap, case, the whole s'hpeel. Then i fell in love with that, (even though it sounded like crap.) Then, after playing guitar hero or something, the only guitar company I wanted to get was Gibson. I wanted an Explorer. Almost planning to get one one month after, we decided to meet our good family friend Brad, (Bradworld here on the forums), and he showed me the light. I saw his ZDP and was completely blown away. Eventually, he told me someone on here was selling it for lower then usual, (500), so he hooked me up, and there i had my first Dean, a ZDP. Ever since, I've loved guitar more then anything in this world.

Anyone else got stories?

does anyone know who this is a pic of on the back of the headstock?

a Gibson USA Gothic SG



or a Jackson Rhoads-Kevin Bond V

i dont know I see some similarity lol

So I've been thinking of swapping over from 11-50's to 10-52's because I remember how beautifully I flew over the 9 guages on my Dean when it was stock. Now I've got one problem, I'm not only a string breaker but I'm worried about the 10's being able to deal with my tunings or not. I can do down to C# with 50's and be ok - top string is crazy wobbly but it works. Would the treble strings for a 10 set be able to handle these tunings?

ya'll come chat

ive been playing Drums for about 1.5 years now, and i never really had any trouble with it...like..its really easy for me...but im still not great... do you guys have any drumming tips?

So, Razorback's are much more worth here in sweden, so i sold my previous Razorback V standard red metallic.
And since they have droped in price, plus the low value of the Dollar compared to the Swedish crown, i sold my razorback here in Sweden.
And for the money i got for that one, i could buy a new black Razorback V standard, pay for the shipping and custom fees, plus i could afford a Floyd Rose original (had to call through half of Europe to get a Cosmo black one) and i will also be able to buy a Corey Beaulieu Ascention pickup to put in the neck along with the Dimebucker!
And all that for the money i got for my 1 year old Razor V

Good deal?

Pics coming later today :

Bought one yesterday. It KILLS.

Possibly the most amazing pedal I've had, and I've been through a few. MXRs, Kranks, Boss etc, but this one frippin kills.

Got two channels, one lead and one crunch/rhythm channel, with a 3-band EQ and an ISF.

It also has two ECC83/12AX7 tubes, which provide some awesome tonage as well.

The ISF is the real deal though. It switches between a US/MESA sound a UK/Marshall sound, or a bit of both as well. Awesomeness.

The gain channel allows you to go from slightly overdrive clean tones to bone-crushing crunch.

At £125, it's quite the pedal, and does very well to replicate the sound of an actual Blackstar amp as well.

I honestly have zero experience with acoustic basses, but a friend of my has asked about purchasing one. I told him that I love most of the Dean products, and gave him my 2006 & 2007 Dean catalogs to look at.

Are the Dean accoustic basses good? I've never tried one. Good onboard electronics? Any info is greatly appreciated

ive never seen one like this before...looke awesome!

So i'm not really happy with my DFH, to be more precise - i hate the LFR. So i'm really thinking about selling it and getting a stoptail ML. As far as the rest of the DFH goes, i'm satisfied - the neck, the playability, the sound.

So far the 30th anniversary ML looks the best solution, but i'd really like to hear your opinions and/or suggestions for some other stoptail MLs/deans that i may also like to check em out. Any input is appreciated.

Are OFR sustain blocks made of steel or something else? Would there be a better metal than steel other than titanium to have a sustain block made of?

i know this is a metal orientated forum. but i wanted to know
peoples opinons on Blackheart Amps and Epiphone Valve Jr.'s
i own a valve jr stack and love it and have a blackheart Handsome Devil on the way .
And i was thinking about modding my epi soon (some jcm mod on evilbay). So opinions comments!

Mattias "IA" Eklundh is an extremely talented guy, and the band is great, so check em out. However, I was just wondering if anyone knows what the "IA" is in his name, I mean of course I assume its his middle name or something like that, but it would be weird of him to put it on his signature guitar, and in quotes with his name always. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows if it means something else?

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

one of freak kitchens songs, check it out.

Some song questions here. Master of Puppets, is the whole song down picked at every part? Is the main riff to Revolution Is My Name down picked as well? Do Mark Morton and Chuck Shuldiner (yes two different bands) tend to alternate pick alot? I'll add more as I think of 'em.

I'm lookin' for a good wah pedal in the price range of up to 120...I was thinking about getting the original crybaby, but...what should I do??

Hey,

I won't do a full review here, Slay has taken care of that in the "new Deans" section. Just gonna give my opinion on the 2006 limited run Dean DimeSlime axe. I'll start by saying that tazz888 is a super guy, great packaging, lightning fast shipping, and he even threw in an OFR type whammy bar for me. Here goes:

This guitar is really cool, one of the best looking Deans IMO. I had to have this one, lucky 7 is "MY" lucky number. What I love about this guitar:

- awesome finish, amazing flame maple tops, body & HS
- you get the V neck without having to $hell out for a USA (I'll get one, one day)
- super rare & collectable
- nice & light weight on the shoulder
- fretboard has an amazing "feel" to it, very nice shape
- best color guitar for an Irishman like me

What could have been done better:

- sub-par electronics, toggle switch is crapping out on me
- it's comfy, but a big "mahogony" guitar should be alot heavier than this
- I prefer natural dot inlays like abalone, I'm not crazy for plastic or pearloid
- has a steel sustain block, brass is better IMO

Honestly, this is a great guitar. You stand up, it's light, and you get to enjoy the best neck shape ever built (took me a day or two to get used to it). Right now, I'm dialing the tone back to about 6 or 7 when I play, which I've never done. The tone pot on my Korean Deans was always on 10, but this guitar sounds "bright" to me. Hopefully it's just the strings, I haven't gotten around to putting my fav DR 9-50 hi-volts on it yet. If that doesn't do the trick, I might put my other Dimebucker or my BL500XL in it. Hopefully it's not the wood that is making this axe sound so bright..., if so, I'll be buying my old TLTML back

Over all, I really love this axe..., two thumbs up. Mandatory pRon:

I used my neighbour's pink tree & my Harley to give some nice background shots for y'all






Almost as fat as a 200 tire







I'll try to show you the sweet neck


Do we call this bump "volute"



I straightened the springs out, I'm not a triangle fan

The almost dead toggle switch..., it's all good, I love to solder

The white wire ( bottom left) that goes nowhere I'm not worried, Ive seen this before







My new "desktop"

Coming from me, the Supreme Gear Whore, that's a bold statement, but after months of tweaking and tinkering I honestly can't think of any other guitar that I want that I can't emulate with those I already have. Sure I'd like a nice Les Paul Custom but who wouldn't? Right now I've got these 4 guitars and an acoustic. The Sherwood Green Strat is a Squier Standard series body, Fender pickguard loaded with older SD Hot Rails and a 2006 Fender neck with med/jumbo frets. SCREAMS. The blue Strat is a Stagg with an alder body and 3 real nice singles and a neck to die for. Nice tinted maple with med/jumbo frets. Got it with the plastic still on the pups and pickguard for $95 shipped. The black one is a Squier 51 body with a mid 80s MIJ Squier Strat neck with matching black headstock. I totally blacked this thing out. Never had a guitar that was easier to play or that felt better in my hands. Finally there's the Parker P-38 that I got a couple of weeks ago at a local pawnshop. I never gave Parker the time of day because of the bizarro looks but this one was so cheap I had to at least pick it up. HOLY HELL MAN. I get it now. Super light ash body and the Fishman Piezo transducers are out of this world, the sounds that come out of this guitar are sounds I've never heard from an electric or electric/acoustic before. 12" radius neck and big frets make it a dream to play. I'm content!

Totally fitting I think.

I have a few Gibsons in my collection, so I subscribe to their mailing lists. Got one this morning, and there was a picture of ZZ Top with their fuzzy Deans... funny stuff..

Hey Steve,

Where you at Brotha??? Sent a few E-mails, Call me, P.M. Me, E-mail me.

Nothing Urgent or Gossip Worthy!

Chris

...I'm right in the middle of jammin' away, and I decide to remove my chorus from the chain. I put my JSX amp on standby, wait, remove the pedal, power back up and...

...the amp is barely audible. I 'can' hear it, but it's very quite on all channels and I can hear a kind of distortion coming from the speakers behind it.

I immediately power it down again, I must have removed the wrong cable. Nope. Plugged two different guitars into the amp direct, SAME problem. Wow.

I just had my power tubes replaced about 3 weeks ago, but the tech said the preamp tubes seemed ok.

I'm thinking the preamp tubes are now toast as well...does this sound right?

I already paid the dude labour costs for the power amp swap, and my JSX seems pretty 'tube change' friendy, with a bias control knob and some easy terminals to hook up the multimeter.

I've read that the preamp tubes don't require biasing. Is this true? Would it be just a simple swap to a new set of tubes?

If it IS the preamp tubes, there's some shielding on them (there's three, I believe) and I can't tell which one is burnt out. Must I replace them all, just like the power tubes had to?

...I just can't believe how quickly they went, if that's indeed what's wrong. One second, fine..the next, toast. The sound the amp is making now compared to when the power tubes went is quite different, now it's just SUPER quiet.

Any help?...thanks in advance

Sure it's a badass guitar and I still want it but I think I'm falling back in love with my dime o flame.

I'm thinking about changing the pickups though. The dimebucker just isn't doing it for me.

Probably going to throw a JB in the bridge and see what happens. Maybe I'll try and wire the Bareknuckle up again.

I have to beef up my Select V also. Once I get some cash I'm ganna order 500K pots and get some new pickups for it also. Not sure what though. Probably a JB in the bridge and a PAF in the neck.

Just though everyone should know.

well i wanted a sg style guitar with out actually going sg and i love the subtle differences between the sg and the viper SO, anyone who has a Viper 100 or a Viper in general let me know: what do you guys think of them? from what i hear ESP/LTD are great even in the more budget friendly price ranges. Also anyone with a 100FM, SHOW ME SOME PRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so you could either get this guitar

or 700, yes 700 dean vendettas

what would u do?

*edit for bad math*

I'm blown away. I was worried about what the newer marshalls would sound like, but this thing had some balls. It was pretty sweet. Also played a Jackson ? with emg hz in it through the marshall. i gotta say i liked the jackson too. the only thing about the marshall is they wanted $2999 dollars for just the head. never in my lifetime will i pay that much for a head.

Well I have blown myself away. I have read were Michael Schenker would use a Wah Wah pedal to get that really sick sound out of his guitar by pressing on it till he got that exact sound and left it there, so I got a VOX wah wah and messed with it and all of the sudden THERE IT WAS!! I dont impress myself much but once I had the Vox set I cranked the Peavey 50/212 to WOT and hit the Hoochee Mama Overdrive and had the neighbors windows rattling

It was a great feeling. I have been kicking the rust off these old fingers, that were silent for over 20 years, ever since I got the Dean MS V

DEAN'S RULE!

sure makes a great nut warmer.

i might have to rub some body parts all over it.

what should i do to it before i ship it to him? any ideas?

So, I"m conversing with a vendor about an exotic V, Mapa Burl to be exact. Anyone that doesn't sell these have an opinion on them yet? Curious.

A new guy on here, saw him post and followed his link to YouTube and watched his one and only video, and man, I gotta tell you, its one amazing and beautiful guitar piece! Amazing stuff.

The guy's name is: Ast A. Moore

I was browsing a couple topics linked to ebay Deans so I decided to do a lefty search

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-DEAN-USA-TIME-CAPSULE-ML-LEFTY-ELLIOT-EASTON-GUITAR_W0QQitemZ310050653667QQihZ021QQcategoryZ2384QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

$3,999.00 is it worth it? I mean, I love the looks, I love the binding, I love the inlays, and I especially love the guitar as a whole. But knowing me over time I'd end up floyding it, putting in new pups, just that whole little bit. And that most likely kills the reason anyone would pay $4000 for it

So yeah, any thoughts or more info on this beast?

For all you classic rock buffs, here's my covers of the two solos to Eric Clapton's "Crossroads," when he was in the band Cream. This was his version of Robert Johnson's classic "Crossroad Blues."

Also, is it possible for me to crank a tube amp and just run a volume pedal through it to keep from blowing my ears and getting in trouble with the law, although my neighbors aren't capable of speaking English.

To send me some sound clips of a Peavey XXX vs Valveking? I like the Valveking, alot, but I'm just wondering more about the XXX and pitting them against each other. Also, they're both capable of easily accepting effects pedals right? Come on, you guys know you wanna show off those cleans and dirty sounds.

I know they tune to A but not sure of the rest of it.Do they drop A as in ebgdaa or is it something different?

Anyone like Mosrites?
Here's a nice lineup of some vintage stock from a show of years gone by.

Jake and I would like to thank Justin (MZDA) for making this happen affordably

You should have seen his face when he walked in the house, like the biggest ((((o))))) you ever saw then that big grin as he slung it on for the first time. He immediately plugged it into my DSL stack and almost blew the windows out which we tolerated

Here's a shot of him with it when I could get him away from the Marshall, again, thanks Justin!

We now have another Dean little Brother for the forum family

A friend of my brothers whose also a friend of mine a bit was in my brothers room and I was next door just kinda jamming out on my new ESP V-500, and this other guys really good, one of my idols actually, and I'm not all that great. I just did some stuff that I can do easily, old and new, lots of Megadeth, Scorpions, Metallica, Pantera and stuff, I had some fun doing it for about 15 minutes. I walk out and chill in the living room, and as he's leaving he tells me "I'll see ya later, hey Jake your starting to get really good at guitar, You played Angry Again awesomely and that song isn't an easy one to play." I was shocked and said thank you. And right now I'm loads more confident with my playing. I know I'm no Zakk Wylde yet, but still, that made me feel really good.

I realize many of you don't care, but I just felt like sharing that.

For those of you who don't know who Warrel Dane is, he is the singer for a band called Nevermore. He released an album on May 13. I got the album about three days ago, it's AMAZING! The songs are amazing very good musicianship but not necessarily wankery. But yeah, GET IT NOW! You can listen to some of the songs here http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=42841521&MyToken=7d4a17c4-afd4-4f2c-bd47-58070c41f6d0 the only songs on the myspace than are on praises to the war machine are messenger, when we pray, and lucretia.

so i have my sg all done exept the finish, i have the neck pup cavity filled in and it looks great. now i just need help desciding one thing.... matte black with blood splatter or normal black with blood splatter?

Okay I never had a guitar with an OFR/locking nut before.

When I strum the low E really hard or even when I fret it, I get a buzz that seems to be coming from the nut. However I tightened that sucker down as much as I could and I can't eliminate it.

But.. seeing as how I get buzz even when I fret it, I think maybe its not the nut. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hey guys,

I just went to Guitar Center today and was jamming on a few different guitars and amps and all that. What I realized was this: I just don't seem to like tube amps. At all. I was playing the Mesa Boogies and Marshalls and Peaveys and all that, but quite honestly I liked Crates and Randalls better! Is anyone else like this? Because I almost feel like I'm doing something wrong here to rather play these $300 amps as opposed to the $1500 popular heads. It just seems like I can get a better sound out of the solid-staters. Anyone?

ISP Theta

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ISP-Technologies-Theta-400W-Guitar-Amp-Head?sku=483011

I've read some really good things about it and I REALLY want to try one. Anyone played one?

Thought some one would find that title funny. Which do you think I should get? The poll explains the choices, I'm going to run a ton of pedals into it, a delay, chorus, 10 band, ZW OD, CFH wah, etc. Just as a heads up.

ok saw this for the first time on drumcity guitarlands website and came here to look and it is in the dimebag section and also how do the stock pups sound because I'm kinda diggin' it but if the stock pups aren't worth a damn I'm going to get the dime shadow and put a dimebucker in it.

I want to start recording at home on my computer, but the prob is my desktop is ancient. So, I"m looking at new systems, and I don't know what to get. Is this one here going to be good enough to use?

http://www.emachines.com/products/products.html?prod=T5254

and if it is, I can't decipher what kind of I/O I should be using, there are far to many to choose from. USB? UPgrade to Firewire? GO with the free "reaper"? Is Pro Tools LE as difficult as Pro TOols people go to college for?

Any advice would be appreciated.

Yeah, like the title says theres an RH50 head on Ebay for £12.59, which is like $25 something to you yanks.

The guys say it's new and all, but...
Why the hell's it so cheap!?

Picked up the Dean CFH from CapenCyber.

So far so good, plays very well, though not as well as the TLT ML.

Probably gonna get new pups in the future, but for now the L500XL/Dean stay.

Cheers for the guitar, sir.

Pron to follow soon.

has any played these? They look really nice. The Vex Verdict and Patriot models have really caught my eye.

Slowly changing out digital to analog. I was just going to get a TS 808 until i saw this bad boy. Very curious has to how it actually is. Anybody used one of these?

im saving for an MHG soltero or a baze kahuna.......and i love scallops...do you guys think it wise to scallop such expensive guitars?.........and also for those with scalloped guitars do you know any techs who are good at scalloping? i was thinking about scalloping one of my broken ibanez's to make sure scallops are 100% for me first.................discuss

i wanted one of each but never got the chance to buy one. i jumped in the forum thing after they were all gone. let me know if you have one for sell or if you know anyone who will thanks.

I sit a lot when I practice, (well, lean kinda) and have never had a comfortable, ergonomic butt-holding device to use. Yesterday, the enabler and I were looking around at drum thrones and found a couple that come with back supports. A good friend that owns the store gave me a good tip! He recommended "Roc-N-Soc." I checked them out, and they look like a GOOD candidate. Comfortable, adjustable, good-size available back, and nitro shock absorber. Available in black, red or blue, adjusts from 18" - 24".

I'll be grabbing one of these as soon as I can, I just figured I would pass this on, perhaps gain some feedback from others who have tried them or currently own them...





EDITED for spelling.

There are so many models that are unaviable in lefty form, and I need some gas, all I've had on my mind was FBD or 79 .. More so 79 than FBD, by a long shot. So I was thinking maybe I could create a topic that people could share some of their favorite lefty guitars and give me sone gas, even if you aren't a lefty




Not a 79 but it has my interest, way out of my range though

I believe this is a 98 ml ultra(info from dean,not sure) I have not seen many ml's with this strap pin location from the factory. It's a little uncomfortable with it strapped on in this location and the guitar itself is very heavy.
If I relocate it were it should be would it interfere or cause a problem with the set neck joint? I apolagize if this seems like a pointless question,but I respect everyones knowledge and opinions on this forum otherwise I would not ask..thanks

just picked one of these up today - pretty fun little toy. Quite inexpensive too! Should this play my guitar through my PC speakers or is it headphone only? Either way - its sweet

I was wondering, eventually when I get some spare money, which neck pickup to get for the Dean CFH.

I'm not a big fan of Dimarzios, so I was wondering.

Right now I'm considering a Miracleman or a Mississipi Queen.

The Mississipi Queen mainly because I like a warmy P-90 sound for my neck pickup, but it may not be the best for metal.

Do you think it would work good with a Duncan SH-4 in the neck position, along with a Dimebucker?

Yet another volume pedal for your effects loop..., do these things actually work?!?

Look at the rebel,
were they going to make a stringthru rebel?

Clear and utter disregard... I'm going to have to spank my wife for this one... no respect.

geesh, I'm out by the pool playing my Dean, and here she goes and takes a break from cleaning and does this to me?... time to rethink this relationship...

Scored this last week off Evilbay REAL Cheap!!

Life IS Good!!


























Other than the blip at the 12th fret it sounds, feels, and plays wonderful.

Between this and the Black '96 USA V Coupe I scored last night I guess that Guv- Ment money is gone!

We need to have this Stickied!!! For all you young guns looking to start a metal band this is the best instructional I have seen to date to get you up and running in no time!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfdqV_sqal0

Slays everything.

That is all.

Anyone wanna jump in and tell me how these work? OR rather if they work? I was originally gonan get one but heard they're useless and you might as well save money and get a volume pedal.

Im thinking about getting a Tc Electronics G-major what kind of footswitch do i need for it?

So....is that pickup good, heavy, chunky, loud??

Does it scream like a Bill Lawrence or a Dimebucker??

Does it produce milk?? What??

Just tell me if it's good or bad, heavy or lite....

want one of the 3 which one cannot make up my mind.

how does their standard thin compare to deans V?

Not the typical genre of music listening for a lot of guitar players but back when I was really heavy into shred 1980-86, I really got into heavy organ music and still enjoy. The huge cathedral organs have a indescribable haunting but immensely powerful sound. Music is mainly preludes, tocattas and fugues in the Minor keys of A & D

Virgil Fox is one of the most respected organists ever and if you get a chance, check out some of his lps. Baroque organ music is some of the heaviest there is and is where shred was born

do you know where to find any High On Fire tabs? besides the ones on UG because there are only 6.
i'm looking for Devilution and all that. i can't find them anywhere.

and i aint really good at tabbing by ear. so that's a pretty useless option.

So last week I quit my band after 7 years. We just weren;t going nowhere anymore. I noticed people started skipping rehearsal for shitty reasons more often and our other guitarist quit 6 weeks ago. After he quit we had a good talk and it seemed we were there to stay, everybody said they were still into it and we weer gonna record a high quality demo. However after 6 weeks we only had 1,5 rehearsals and that was it for me.

Another reason that made te desicion easier was the fact I started rehearsing with my new project/band T.C.F. (www.myspace.com/thrashcorefanatics) and it was so much fun it opened my eyes and actually made the desicion easier. The problem is I play bass in this new band (it was actually a 2-man project but we now attracted a guitar player so I can concentrate on bass + vox). So I have all my guitar gear collecting dust hahahah. Oh well it might come in handy, I'll keep writing riffs for T.C.F. I have to say I really enjoy playing bass and I bought a brand new 2007 LE MusicMan Stingray in blue dawn finish, ALways loved the sound of them.

I Made this cuz these guys are my 2 Fave Prog Metal Bands

Symphony X IMHO make cooler music, but DT is probably a better all around band

who do you guys think is better
also what are your guys's favorite songs by them

Im confused, I have the same pickup in both guitars (dimebucker) and they are both tuned to C (one is Drop C and the other is C standard) but the Razorback sounds better than the 79. The 79 doesnt have as much sustain and is a little muddier. The tone im getting from the Razorback is what id consider perfect. Could the gauge of string contribute to this? I have 10 - 52's on my razorback and 12 - 56's on my 79. I know each guitar will sound a little different due to the wood and shape but i didnt think they would sound this different.

i know this might sound stupid and shouldnt be on this forum but does anyone know anythin about the 50th anny of the les paul.i have a epi les paul its a 50th anny but i dont know to much about it. it has a graphic on the back. i will get a couple of pics up soon if it might help.

[img]

[/img]

best pic i could get of headstock

which of the 3 do you guys think sound better for Thrash Metal like Megadeth, Metallica, Testament, Flotsam and Jetsam, stuff like that

i have no idea what to use

also how much do they cost, cuz i have no idea

I've got them in one of my guitars that I've had since december. The metal guards are tarnishing much faster than passive pickup covers do. One of them has tarnished to the point where it's discolored in one area.

Anyone else with a VMNT have this issue?

Well i have a Randall v2 head currently and as much as i mess with the tone (eq,compressor,etc) i cant seem to find a good tone, always seems to muddy and i can barely get harmonics ( i know im doing them right because they sound amazing on my line 6 flextone 2) but on the randall it seems as if they almost have no sustain. Im not sure if im positive on wanting to switch to tube amps but rather anything that gives me the sound i want. The sound i want to achieve is a sound that can come close to almost a Decapitated or Opeth tone, but can do everything else. Basically im looking for a very versatile amp. Any suggestions are welcome and sound clips would be appreciated as well, thanks guys!

On my myspace music thingy,

the song is called Industrial.

http://www.myspace.com/carlstrumjams

Check it, tell me what you think.

hey guys check out the new disturbed album that came out

Hey guys. There's this pretty interesting "Earth" amp head that's for sale local here and I have nearly no information at all on Earth.

I've read the Wikipedia page, and that's the only info I have.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Sound_Research

Anyone have any experience with any of their products?
The head I'm looking at is a "Module 440" head.
Here are some pics for those interested:





Apparently it's very loud and is an amazing amp.


Thanks to those with knowledge.

OK guys ima gonna get my first dean soon and wanted to hear your opinions
What do we think, Dixie Rebel
Razorback Shards
Or CFH DFH or whatever you wanna call it :p
Oh and I'm new to this, and I got some rubbish photoshops I wanna put up, how do I do it?
Thanks

Anyone on here speak with Thor since DOA??? Anyone???

His presence is definitely missing here!!!

TESTAMENT IS THE ARTIST OF THE WEEK ON MTV.....


just saw a little commercial thingy and it was the new video...and i freaked out..cuz..it was on MTV...

and...

(i dont know why i was watching mtv...thats not important)....

but still

kinda cool i guess...

I'm saving up for the ML Stealth Snakeskin and had one question. it has a licensed FR on it... would i be able to switch that out for an OFR or would there be additional routing involved?

Schecter Hellraiser FR or
Schecter Blackjack ATX FR

Only differences are the pickups and Ebony vs Rosewood.

Any opinions? I have only played last years Hellraiser so far, pretty sweet geet.

Thanks.

Just curious.

Dunno 'bout this one?!?

After seeing this 13 year old kid play Eruption... I feel like a complete noob.
Check it out. Wonder how long hes been playing, his dad probably teaches him by the sound of it, lol.
But anyways yeah I'm jealous.

So I'm looking at fitting a killswitch on my Strat. I want to fit it to the top of scratch plate by the neck.

This would require a rout similar to this:



except obiously leading from the front rout that is already there.

Would this effect the tone of the wood at all? I'm looking at replacing the pickups soon (as per my other post), and thought if I'm going to do this, I might as well do it while the scratch plate is off the guitar.

Thanks for the help!

Hey fellow rockers!

Some of you may know me and my band dOMi, but most of you likely do not. We're a Norwegian band from Oslo and we play what could possibly best be described as a blend of punk rock, metal and ska

Our first full length feature, Welcome to Annoying Town, is nearing completion so we decided to put up four samplers for everyone and anyone to listen to

CHECK THEM OUT HERE

Any and all feedback is appreciated and I hope you enjoy, at least two Deans were used in the recording of this album. Also no animals were harmed

A glimpse of things to come:

does anyone know of a good website that has posters of metal bands and guitars?

and say hi, it's been a while.

I wanted to say sorry for my very unannounced and rapid departure a while back, due to uncontrolled circumstances I had to take off for a while.

so..how the hell is everyone?

Well they aren't amazing but I think there OK for a look at...If you squint you eyes...

All my photoshops, arranged into one long post so you dont have to look through all the comments

My Photobucket account, feel free to look through the albums

Desert Camo Razorback

Can someone explain to me the different types of tubes, eg. The difference in sound between an amp with EL34 tubes or ECC83 tubes or 6L6GC tubes

yo, just got a new dean, i think its a 79 v, i found it at guitar center used, its got new knobs, and i dont think that those are the original pickups because ive never seen a 79 with silver covers that expose the pickup magnets at one side, either way:

Anybody else see this thing?

It's Korean made, floyd rose, HSS setup,quilted top and a strat selector switch.

It says prototype. For what? New production run?

Either way it looks crazy.

my V's has fret buzz on the higher strings pretty much throughout the neck
and some of the frets on the lower strings.

how do i fix it?
i figured if i can fix it myself i can save myself from getting ripped off and if its something im too lazy to do or its too hard i can bring it to a shop

for all the flack this guy gets he sure does play a lot of unique blues licks. Yeah, he uses a few of the common one's but most of his licks are pretty cool

yep...title says it all....lets go....

I kinda feel dopey, but I'm trying to buy tickets to some shows but I cant figure out what seats they are.

Ticketmaster says

ORCHESTRA SEATING
US $125.00


FIRST TIER
US $35.00 - US $125.00


SECOND TIER
US $35.00 - US $90.00


THIRD TIER
US $55.00

GENERAL ADMISSION LAWN
US $35.00

And Nissan's website has this diagram



Now Orchestra and lawn seating are self explanatory. I wanna be in the 102 section for both shows. Would that be "first tier"? or what?

My roomate up at college (a drummer) is throwing a band together to play house parties/backyards and the local bars, and wants me to play guitar.

A half stack definitely isn't necessary, and I don't need anything pricey. Tonewise I'd love something that could get a good metal tone but the setlist is far from metal, so I don't really need ENGL quality tone.

1. Weezer-“Buddy Holly”
2. Incubus- “Warning”
3. Brand New – “Last Chance to Lose Your Keys”
4. Thrice – “The Artist in the Ambulance”
5. Jimmy Eat World-“Sweetness”
6. Foo Fighters- “My Hero”
7. Green Day-“When I Come Around”
8. Alanis Morsiette-“You Oughta Know”
9. Nirvana- “On a Plain”
10. The Raconteurs-“Steady As She Goes”
11. Stone Sour - Through Glass
12. Porcupine Tree - Shallow
13. Alter Bridge - Find the Real
14. Rise Against - Give It All
15. The Cars - Just What I Needed
16. All American Rejects - Dirty Little Secret

19. Radiohead - Just

I was thinking about snagging either a used 5150 off Ebay or one of those Bugera combos from Samash. I also thought about snagging a cheapo Crate and just getting a distortion pedal, but I'm honestly a noob when it comes to amp, so I could use all the help I can get.

Hooooolly s#%t i just got Rise of the tyrant i'd never listen to any ae before and i'm amazed i cant believe iv been missing out all this time. its great i really needed another guitar orientated metal band. just thought i'd see wat people here think of them...

also if u like em wat album do recommend i get next.?.?.

If you had to pick just one guitar that you own right now, one that you absolutely adore and would never sell for the world, post it in this thread (only one! that means you to armitage! )

Mine: 79MLF, it is the most beautiful guitar ive ever seen and the most comfortable guitar ive ever played. I can garentee right now that I will never sell it.

Well, 36 days after I paid for it, it finally arrived from the land of the free.
It is a used guitar, but there is not a scratch on it that I can see.


The color does not come through correctly, it is darker.


My first matching headstock


For some reason, Jackson thinks it's cool to have one volume knob, two tone and a toggle switch that is squeezed in there in a uncomfortable place IMHO.
So I was thinking about making some changes. I would like to have some input, and suggestions for the WTF.

hauch posted this site in another thread and i was poking around and found this






http://www.sharp-concepts.com/customdesigns.htm is the site, got some cool stuff.
thanks for the link hauch

Was wondering if any of yous have used any Mics for recording with Garageband/Cubase?

The one I've got at the moment doesn't seem to have enough impendence, so I was curious which one to use.

I got this at an estate sale today, for 15 bucks. Anyways what does it do. I can't figure out how to work the damn thing. If nothing else it will a be a cool display piece.

How hard is it to change emg's? What i mean is say an 85 is in my bridge and i want it in my neck...how hard would it be to switch the two?

So, anyone got clips of the Baker Act?? I've listened to the one's that Dean put up, but It doesn't satisfy.

And if you don't got clips, tell me if it's a good pickup, is it heavy, loud, good, better than a BL and Dimbucker( )...how is it??






ps. and ive searched and haven't found anything...
