-applauds dean for upgrading on some imports-

Now if only they'd throw that on all imports that price. Lol.

I'd be all over one, but I'm a UKer and can't be bothered with extra shipping fees.

Thank me later.

Anyone own/used one of these things?

I'm super tempted to order one for myself, seeing as my scales etc are very VERY sub-par. Just looking for advice.

Rusty Cooley uses them...so I'm thinking they probably work.

Guitar Center sucks Gary Colemans balls...
Let me explain, I'm visting my dad here in north california, it's a pretty long visit, so my Dad offered to buy me a guitar while I was here. Because he knows day without a guitar for me is like Cartman going a day without cheesey poofs.

So we go to the local GC, I find a nice* PRS SE Singlecut(*by nice I mean one of the least molested guitars there, but still it's almost in used condition), take it home and everything is cool, then 2 weeks later the frets are starting to wear quite fast, and bent notes are starting to fret out.

So we return it, and I pickup a nice* faded Gibson V, I figure a USA guitar shouldn't have that problem, take it home everything is cool, for 2 days...then the guitar starts buzzing like hell, I know this buzz, it's the "I'm not grounded" buzz! Plus the bridge pickup's output has severely dropped and it sounds like arse, I have no idea what that is.

So here I am now, what do you guys think? Should I fix it? Return it, and get something else from GC? Or return it, get a full refund, and call up Steve @ BRG?

I'm thinking the latter...

anyone know much about Hamer guitars? are they any good?
i found this and it got me gassing

Hello Guyz! One of my friends is building a custom guitar for me, based on the Cadillac shape. We ain't got a template, but got high quality photos, so we could draw one. But:
We don't know how many mm is the width of the Caddy's body? Thick, like an ML's, or fat, like a Les paul's.
In the pictures I got, I think the width of the body is thicker, than an Lp's...
we would like to build a very fat soundind, brutal guitar, but the comfort is very important too...
Otherwise, the body material is brazilian mahogany with a flamed maple top, the neck is maple too. Set-in neck construction, string-thru design, Sperzel locking tuners, and Dean time capsule Usa pickups...
And the finish is based on a wasp-spider, see-thru black-to-yellow colors, and a spider or wasps graphic on it...

In my home, Hungary, Deans and specially the Caddys are very rare guitars, so I can't find one to measure the width of the body.
If anyone of you could, please help me! Thanks a lot, men!

I pried off my black/clear plastic knobs off my two pots last night and cracked the plastic on both of them. Are these knobs still available new? I don't know if they were really fragile from being very old, or if I just pried them off wrong.

It is a clear plastic, with white numbers underneath, And black paint over that underneath. A pretty cool effect.

I hope I didn't completely hose myself.

Here is a picture online of the knobs I am looking for:

Does anyone remember the site that had a flash program letting you make custom guitar images? I can't seem to remember what it was called and Google is not being very helpful. It had mainly Gibsons and Fenders, but also quite a few random Jacksons, Ibananas, and I think even some Yamaha guitars that you cool mess around with.

I recall it being in a thread where people were just posting up photoshopped guitars, but I couldn't find that thread with the Search anymore, it must have gotten deleted when the forum got its makeover. Cheers!

and it is an amazing guitar. The finish on it is sick, the action on it is amazing, close to my usa razorback, and the stock pickups rip. the bridge is a little weak but the neck smokes on it. awsome trade. glad i went for it

So I noticed this was fairly new- decent performance by Randy here tho Ozzy had some vocal cracking. Just thought Id share....

Mr Cowley from the same performance:

I am trying to achieve play fast arpeggios and just stuff like yngwie, MAB, and steve vai. Would the best thing to do be practice scales and sweep picking? thats what ive been doing for a week and my playing has aleready improved a ton. i just want to see if i should be doing something else.

I listen and play to Pantera,ACDC, Avenged Sevenfold,etc

So which guitar should I buy?

the DFH
the FBD
razorback two tone (not 255)
two tone razorback v 255
ml 79 black
ml 79 burst
razorback v (explosion)
razorback explosion

All of them are great but i cant decide so i will leave it up to you. ALL HELP WILL BE GREATLY APRECIATED!

I have a brand new Dean MLF Knight with EMG's for sale in absolute mint condition. I'm deploying so it's gotta go. It might have an hour tops on it. Bought it new from Gearhounds and came set up with Elixer 9's. Not a scratch-period. Comes with Dean hard case/tools/papers etc. NO TRADES-CASH ONLY! hit me up detchord@gmail.com

Unfortunately, we have had to cancel two shows - tonight in Belgrade and tomorrow in Zagreb - this is due to Glenn Tipton being ill - he has been pretty sick for about a week now but has struggled on regardless - he has been in a lot of pain and has been told be a doctor that he is suffering from a very painful appendix inflammation and needs to come back to the UK to see a specialist which he is doing today - he has been instructed by the doctor not to perform for a couple of days - this is the first time in the history of Judas Priest that we have had to cancel any shows and we are very sorry to all those disappointed fans - however Glenn's health must come first!

Many thanks for understanding!

All I can say is... Oh s#%t.

I feel bad for Glenn and Priest. This couldn't have come at a worse time. I hope it's nothing serious.

Figures though. I bought about $600 worth of concert tickets for two shows in NJ.

but im jealous of an 8 year old.

Tallan Latz, i watched him play at summerfest here in milwaukee and i noticed something... he was playing a dean, so i just did some research and realized hes a dean artist... im really jealous of this kid haha

the only thing i dont like about these young players is that even though they are extremely talented... they never have their own music, its always really good covers. and even though i know they can play, thats the only thing i dont really "respect" about them. but no offense to them, im just stating a fact.

EDIT: ok, i watched a video and it seems they can freeball it pretty well and know what they are doing. but still, they dont record or play their own stuff live.

Well here I am 5 hours from heading to the airport for the Rothbury festival, and I just now finally got through the Bonnaroo shots.

As I'd rather have sleep than edit BBE code all night, I'll have to do the full boat TLLL when I get back from Rothbury.

At any rate, these have been late in coming, so I figured I'd put up a little something in the mean time..

Thursday 06/12

First up, Henry Butler. This guy was amazing, and had an incredibly good guitarist.













George Porter back stage checking his email on his iPhone.



Dark Star Orchestra





Note the Roland guitar wart. He had a VG99 in the rack.







We ended the night out with Porter, Baptiste & Stolz. By far one of the most versatile & just balls out talented bands of the festival.











Check out the bend.



Friday 06/13

Umphrey's McGee.

My current favorite live band tour de force. These guys are friggin incredible, when you consider 70% of what you hear they are making up on the spot.

Think Dream Theater on steroids that does mostly improv.













Raconateurs









No comment.

Rilo Kiley.





Cute, good voice. Fairly poppy. Least she can sing really well live.







And the ever so politically aware and pissed about it, state radio. I'll be interviewing these guys at Rothbury









Metallica.

Not my best work, we came from too far aware for me to get to the pit to shoot.









My Morning Jacket. Rolling stone declared this the live show of the year. We got poured on. When my camera started getting completely drenched, we bagged. Apparently we missed the best part of the show as a result. Kirk (Metallica) & Mike McCready (Pearl Jam) came out and jammed with them later on.

















Saturday 06/14

BB King. I didn't know what to expect at 82, but the dude can still seriously wail. Was thrilled I got another chance to see him do his thing. Killer backup band, btw.

























Iron & Wine. Sam Bean owned. In the top 5 bands of the fest far as I was concerned.













Little Feat.

Played almost the exact same set as when I saw them at SPAC in 1991. Still can wail, make no doubts.













Ozolmatli. I'd never seen em before. Funky as all hell. I you can't dance to these guys, you're probably dead.













Phil Lesh & Friends. 6th time I've seen em this year, and they just keep getting better. Jackie Green has really come into his own this year, and Larry Campbell, hell he's just friggin scary he's so damn good.



















Molitz catches me catching him. Heh.





One of the about 5 bazillion stringed instruments Larry's mastered.



Sunday 06/15

After several hours of Phil the previous night, we get treated to an acoustic set on Sunday. Larry's wife Teresa Williams sat in and Phil announced she'll be touring with PL&F from now on. EXCELLENT!



Jackie looking more like Dylan every day. I would have killed to have his sight reading chops at my age, let alone his.









Another of Larry's "toys". There isn't much that has strings on it that Larry doesn't just demolish.





Yonder Mountain String Band.

Good good are these guys scary. Unfortunately I didn't get as close as I'd liked due to scheduling between stages, so I caught them from the crowd.



I love that each guy has a rack o' gear for what are all acoustic instruments.









When 200mm isn't enough reach, there's always the jumbotron.



Robert Plant & Alison Krauss.

Ok first I gotta admit, I LOVE Union Station. Any chance to see Alison Krauss works for me. I wasn't sure what to expect, but this set friggin ruled.







T-Bone Burnet popped out for a few tunes. In addition to playing with em, he produced the CD, as well as all the zillions of other projects he's involved with. That guy is busy busy busy.











Widespread Panic.

Just pure fuggin joy seeing these guys.















And some fireworks to end the night & the festival with, timed to the closing tune.. Neat.



At any rate, I'll do the full on write up when I get back. But now, I gotta get a few hours sleep before the o'dark thirty flight out.

I can't believe I'm doing this but I have no choice so here it is damnit! Bought new from Carlino's this past Christmas. Very lightly used and very well cared for-bought mainly for a collection piece. Not a scratch anywhere. I've been deployed overseas since Jan so I only got to play it for a few weeks and have to go back again! It's been sitting in it's case this entire time. My wife just had twin girls, heheh....unfortunately some of my guitar collection and gear has to go. This is a genuine 1 off Dean USA MLF. Dean only has the rust paintjob on the razorbacks. This MLF has the razorback inlays on the fretboard as well. NO trades/cash is king. Price is $4200 contact me at detchord@gmail.com or 415-816-9809 Here's the specs:

its the first one they have a clip of its at about 1:18

i saw them about 3 times and the first time i saw them they played that song, but then the other times they didnt and i could never find it

http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/msg/717914854.html

And even if it was only used for a photoshoot. Why the fuck would you put stickers on a quilt top? Must have been a pretty lame photoshoot.

I'd still pick it up and peel that shit off, but I ain't got the money to shoot for it right now.

Okay well, basically I need some pedals so, I figured a Wah would be good to start so, I've narrowed it down to an Ibanez Weeping Demon or Dunlop Zakk Wylde Signature, any help would be greatly appreciated

...I just checked my post count,and it was 4.This is unbelievably far from the truth,as I had over 40 posts. Could anyone explain why almost all of my posts are missing?

IMO, it's a bit fizzy which might be beacuse of the high presence setting... Whadda ya think?

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=598816&songID=6681661


I used this geet btw (Dimarzio Super 3 in the bridge)






Cheers!

do you guys know of any custom painters that do kickass snakeskin paintjobs by any chance? thanks for your time

hello somebody to proven the dean 30th anniversary ML (korea) that sound they have his to humbucker sound strong? I wait for its answers.....

hey guys i am back from Russia.

Looks like some things have changed.

anyways not that any of you care but just thought i'd say hello again to every one.

So I made it to 2000 posts.

I have experienced alot of sh!t times here and I have stumbled accross some of the most ignorant people I have ever met here.

I have seen alot of awesome people leave because of this.

But, I have also shared alot of great times here, and met some really, really great people. Through this forum I have seen some damn good players and some of the most generous and kind people ever.

Anyway reflective moment over.

Hopefully I will have another 2000 posts!

Take it easy guys.
Naoise.

Pron:

Ive got a couple other takes but I wont even waste any time trying to convert them with this shitty trial version of a movie converter. Is it even worth it to put something like this up? Anyone know any converters that will convert without using their logo?

Hey pplz i currently play a Dean V 30th anniversary edition and im looking for a good guitar to play stuff by Vai and EVH on and so i kinda want a tremolo... any ideas would help( looking to keep it under 400$ if possible)

Well guys, I'm on dialup but I'm finally back, and you have no idea how glad I am to be able to say that

Now, say I bought a head but didn't have enough money for a cab just yet, if I had a 50 watt head and a 50 watt combo, could I run the head into the combo's speaker?

There's DSL's running cheap on EvilBay and I am SO tempted

i want to post pics but i cant find out how to do it. can someone help me?

And I can't say I like it. Let me rephrase... it's just plain ugly! Why on earth would someone do that?!

Ok, i'll be going to the beach with my girlfriend and her family for a week in a couple of weeks.

And i plan on getting an acoustic before i go (ima hold off on the soltero until i get back, cause while im on vacation its payday. so ill have a check waiting for me when i get back)

But in the mean time, i've been looking around on a great deals for great acoustics that don't cost 2grand.

I've been looking at Ovation.

Anybody know anything better or pretty well for my bucks?

Hey im thinkin about getting an X2n and Humbucker from hell in my blueburst ml. Can someone do me a mockup of what this will look like if I get a Blue X2n in the bridge and a zebra Blue/black humbucker from hell in the neck. Anyone please?

Rob

Hi guys,

A guitar lesson with God. How cool is that??

Just thought Id share it with you guys. Im not sure whether to take my Ibanez PGM301 or my Dean Razorback to the lesson. Paul might get scared either way! lol

A friend of mine was looking for a pickup winding machine, as he wants to start custom winding pickups, anyone know where he could get a machine for it? I don't think theres a particular budget...

EDIT:- It's Joe for those who know him, lives in the US and I don't think he can just use blu tack and a whisk

Jackson RR, painted the black, then did the blood splatter, wet sanded the blood with a block to knock it down a little, sprayed the clear, so the guitar is textured, the blood is textured, then buffed it.

Not crappy flat blood splatter like you see on most production guitars. Like the dan jacobs ESP or whatever.

i am just seeing if this will work.

Up for grabs a used furman pq3 same as use by metallica and dimebag

unit looks great for it's age and works perfectly. if your looking you know what this is !!! detchord@gmail.com hit me up.....I'll sell that sonic maximizer too. It's brand new!

here is a little info

FURMAN PQ-3 Parametric Equalizer / Instrument Preamp were Furman?s first product in 1976. (Jerry Garcia bought the first one). Now it's a collector's item. still used by top guitarists. Dimebag owned several original PQ-3; he used the FURMAN PQ-3 for many years throughout his successful career and albums.


In 1998 Dime asked the Furman Company to bring the PQ-3 back. So they did. The ?newer? PQ-3 was identical to the original except they added a front panel ?? input along with the rear one, so you can plug into the front or back. The green and red faceplate from 1976 was the same. The preamp was the same and the sound is the same. And so is the PQ-3?s extra deep and wide range of adjustments. It goes from +20 dB to ?x, infinite cut. That?s wider than you?ll find in studio parametrics, and it?s great for guitarists. With the Furman PQ-3, whatever you want to do, you can do more of it. Create your own sounds.

Just bought a new set of Seymour Duncan Blackouts for my SplitTail.

Not only did Duncan price them below EMG, but they also put the three pin connector on them that EMG uses so you can swap out your EMG's and replace them with Blackouts simply by pulling the plug. No other changes are needed.

That's brilliant marketing strategy if you ask me.

Post pics of your guitars and photoshoped guitars here. i wanna start a thread.










that is all my photoshopped stuff and my dave mustaine vmny x!

I don't know what it is about this guitar, but I just spoted it; and it had me running to the bathroom with some serious gas pains. It dosen't seem that special, it's only 499 but I think i'm in love; and being that i've always been a strong hater of tele's, this has made me question my existance of a guitar player. But let me know what you guys know about this guitar.

Happy 4th of July

http://news.aol.com/entertainment/television/tv-news-story/_a/man-who-played-bozo-the-clown-dies/20080703181309990001?icid=100214839x1204959693x1200233156

Every thing I've read on the X2N says it designed to push tube amps into overdrive. So I got a question, how do they sound played through a solid state amp? I've been wanting to try one since most you have nothing, but good things to say about them. However since I play through solid state amps, reading that one line made me a bit wiry about buying one.

I was at work late tonight, plugged my MP3 into one of the stereos and hit random.

Suddenly as I'm working my way around the showroom doing inventory, I heard a lyric, people try to take my soul away, Now back a few years it meant one thing to me...rebellion, kiss my grits, etc.....

Now standing there at work, it was kind of a blow to my gut, it actually kind of took my breath away and left me standing there stunned. That one phrase pulled almost out of context, had me standing dumbfounded and thinking about things, lets just leave that where it is without details.

I'm sure this has probably happened to someone else, Now my question....

Did that moment of realization change how you did something, whether it was a complete change of the course of your life, or just a decision to get a chocolate ice cream rather than the usual vanilla doesn't matter. I just want to hear someone elses story.

so....ready, set, GO

Had to finally break down and learn to play Creed's "With Arms Wide Open" today, tricky bridge.....

http://babybassinet.baptistnortheast.com/default.asp?group=47812

I just bought a road king II and I am trying to decide on a cab for it:

I am not sure if I should get a 2x12 or a 4x12, or a recto vs a road king cab.. I tried the sizes out only recto only at a guitar center, I like the bass response to the 4x12 but its heavy as hell and I am only playing in my living room/basement with friends and if anything we'll go to small bars to play.

I am clashed over the recto cab vs road king because the road king has one speaker open back, one speaker closed back and I heard the open back was much better for cleans (which is one of the reasons I got the RK).

So what are your opinions?

Started tracking drums today... 6 down, 7 to go!

Rikard was on fire!

6 songs in 8 hours. Now the Jager is flowin and beers are flying!

I think you guys (that like us anyways) will really dig this disc 10 fold over our debut disc, everything from Death Metal/Thrash Metal to Fully Commercial songs to enjoy!

even some acoustic..

We walked in with 11 solid songs that we chose and brought 2 new comers that we will finish in the studio because well... they own hard son!

www.bodyofscars.com

Sorry I haven't been around, been busy as hell with work and prepping for drums.

Hope all is well..

What do ya think worth 400?

Just saw the date of today,so I thought I'd post this thread! Happy 4th everyone,enjoy it!

Since i was about 13 ive always wanted an Explorer but could never afford one...I was a Metallica fanatic as a teen and to me James was the king of metal guitar(sorry DB fans,although he is one of my fav's 2)...Well now i can afford one...and dont know wich to pick...

So what's the difference between the ESP from Japan and the Gibson from usa...all i can tell just by looking at pics is...the ESP dosent have a pick guard(wich i like)and it come with a set of EMG's (dont know if i like cuz never played a geet with active pups)..oh,and its 2000 bucks!!..the Gibson has a pick guard,wich is kinda a turn off and what ever pups it comes with(the the standard Explorer)..but its also about a 1000 bucks cheaper...n e one ever played both of them...if so whats the big difference....and before i get torn apart here...i do on a couple of ML's...thanks

What's your favorite combo?

I know a lot of you use the EMG 81/85 combo, but what do you think of the 85 in the bridge? I thought the 85 is a lot more full sounding in the bridge with a lot more response.

Hey peeps,

I was mucking about with the camera the other day and thought I might jam something for the shred contest.

Its a bit rough like, I'm not really used to composing this sort of thing (i mostly play doom/depression stuff like crowbar and similar things to cult of luna). I guess what im worried about is that it might be...dull.

Also, I cant edit it as I dont have quicktime pro...so the video has some useless parts...and hilarious when I change my footing near the end, it looks like im leering over the camera, LOL. I was going to jam a cleaner version, but my hand is a little achey for some reason...

What do you think? If I clean that up a bit and don't make any obvious mistakes (that slide to bend half way through kills me hearing that) do you think its worth entering? Maybe I could represent the lefties, since I havent seen much activity from thhe ole south paws...

Anyway, here ya'all go. I'll fix this at some point with a better version and perhaps send it in. Its really odd seeing myself play!

There is something wrong with my Boss MT-2 pedal, its adding a horrible treble bite to my tone, so I need to replace it with something. The way I use the pedal is I have the gain at 0, level max, and 12 noon on the eq's. As all the pedal is currently doing is boosting my guitar signal I figured I may as well get a proper overdrive pedal instead of buying a replacment MT-2. Been looking around and the cheapest pedal I can find is the Boss SD-1. I remember a while back I was involved in a discussion about overdrives and this pedal got a mixed responce, some loved it, while others hated it. So im asking again, is this a good pedal? Will it boost my amp like the MT-2 does? Is there a better alternative? Does it sound good?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=180260919271&Category=2384&_trksid=p3907.m29

Would u pay 400?

what is your thoughts?

is it the same one diime used at ozzfest for cowboys from hell?

Got a call late last week from a band here in Dayton, asked me to come by and play with them and see if things mesh. Never met these guys before but somehow they found me. So wish me luck!

I got this Roland Microcube Street. It is the two channel, two speaker version. One channel for guitar, one for Mic/Line. I had this thing fall into my lap. I dont think I would have purchased one on my own. However, it is quite a decent little practice amp. First, when comparing it to the regular cube, it is double everything. It is stereo. It has two amps and two speakers. So the sound is quite a bit more full. It is not much louder, just more of it. And it does not experience that farting out you get when you crank up the normal cube. So that is a plus. The mic/line channel is a nice feature if you are a street performer, or want to entertain at a backyard party. It has a combo TRS / XLR jack for that channel. Channel two is nearly identical to the normal microcube. There is no channel switching or mixing... they are completely independent, and you use their individual levels to mix the sounds. Verdict? It is great if you need to sing and play, and require a batter powered amp to do both those things. But if you are not gonna require the mic/line channel, this thing is not worth the extra money over the regular cube. I would suspect that for the money, the new Microcube RX would be a better value for a the guitarist. I cant wait to try the new Microcube RX Bass!



Here is a youtube video from roland on this thing...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4e0ECG-eic&feature=related

Sup dudes, just put up a brand new vid on the tube. Check it out please!

As the description says this is the Krank Jr with the 10 band MXR Eq and X2N pickup.

I think the camera picked up a pretty good depth to the sound, but please remember that I'm working with ancient hardware here.

If you have a bass and treble control on your speakers please adjust them accordingly. It helps a lot.

Gear: Dean Dime o Flame with X2N in the bridge, MXR 10 band graphic EQ into the front panel, DR tite fit strings. Guitar tunned down to D standard.

I got this in trade from a member at the HC forums a couple weeks ago. I finally got time to replace the nut and snap some pics. And yes, she plays as sweet as she looks.

I have just joined the “Randall Army” with a halfstack found on craigslist. I think that I did OK for $250…here is what I now have:

Head: RG100HB
The board inside is labeled “Randall RG80 Amp” with serial number B3234 9637.
Cab: RA412JB (4x12 Jaguar speakers)

I have had very little luck finding info on this exact amp, and am ignorant regarding Randall’s in general. Here are a few questions that I have (posted on a few forums):

The serial numbers for both start with “97” does this mean that they are 1997 vintage?

Where can I find a manual online for the head/amp?

Are there schematics available?

Are there any MODS available to improve the tone, touch response, crunch, etc.? I have modified pedals and such and am handy enough with a soldering iron. It is loud as hell but not as gainy as I thought it would be. Guess that it is like a solid state JCM800.

What footswitch do I use? There are two separate jacks on the back, one labeled “Channel Footswitch” and another “Kicker Footswitch”?

Can a Dr. Z Airbrake be safely used with this head for home use? My Wife and Kids do not really appreciate my newfound VOLUME!

How can I make it sound better? I have read some threads regarding boosting to improve the gain/distortion. Is this done with the clean channel 1, dirty channel 2, or both? I have some overdrive and distortion pedals available but would appreciate some tips!

What is the deal regarding EQ’s? Other threads indicate Furman Parametric, or MXR 6-band…is this done in front of the amp or in the effects loop?

Last but not least…sample control settings would be most appreciated!

Sorry to ramble on, just excited about my new gear.

Best regards and thanks in advance!

-Thad

I want that Searing tone of Jimmy Paige of Led Zeppelin and Brian May of Queen And idk if i should go with the greenback or the g12h... or just get 1 of each even though the g12h is louder the mids from the greenback should still be heard... I play classic rock with touches of sabbath at the heaviest...

im looking for a new half stack to replace my little piece of junk fender mini. Im on a budget of $500. i found this randall that is $500. do you think would be good for someone like me who has only been playing 11 months? http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Randall-RX120RH-and-RX412-Half-Stack?sku=481735 someone please help me!!

Has any one ever played a Madison Divinity Head?

Or any Madison amp? i have heard good things about them, but just thought i would ask you guys.

http://madisonamps.com/2007/products/guitar/divinity.htm

I have a bad tendancy to fall down so I use wireless on stage. But resently we have written some song's that require diffrent tuning. So I'm bringing three guitars to every show. But I only have one wireless guitar pack, so how do I fix this? get two more packs for the other two guitars? where do I get two more by them selves without the recivers? and I use a samson stage 55 dual diversity wireless, if it helps.

Until recently I hadn't seen Metal Monkey in quite a while.
I was afraid something bad had happened to him.
Especially after I saw this ad

i saw a proline(geetar center brand) floyd rose.
i didnt know about them until now.
i couldnt see the price.
are they any good?

Happy Fourth of July to you all!

Here's my cover of John Petrucci's solo to "Forsaken," from the album SYSTEMATIC CHAOS. I hope y'all like it!

RAZOR777

hey i was wondering if i should run my randall cab on mono or stereo??

Just finished installing a new set of Duncan Blackouts in my Split Tail.

They blow away my EMG's in every respect.

Noticeably higher output, yet quieter than the EMG's.

Bridge pickup is particularly sweet -with more audible distortion than my EMG 81's and better harmonics/articulation/saturation. Very nice indeed.

I guess I'll be putting a set in my Razorback as well.

hey how many people can get messed up from 750ml of cabo wabo reposado tequila??..........just wanna know before i spend $40 on a tiny bottle meanwhile i can get an entire liter of jager for half the price..............i know this is a little off topic....sorry......but thanks anyway haha, i dont have much knowlege for the more pricey alchohols.

Rob

http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/msg/742904619.html



$150? How could I go wrong? These things seem to have a pretty good reputation for a straight ahead rock and roll amp that could fall down a flight of stairs and fire right up. Picking it up on Sunday.







Edited for idiocy.

roflmao waffles

do you think it would cost to change the neck on a set necked guitar?...........has anyone done this before?......anyone know an average price?........

So guys, what about this stuff??
http://www.randallamplifiers.com/products/amplifiers/kh/index.asp#

New solid-state signature amp by Kirk; prices are very interesting.
Anyone knows more??

Now THAT is incredibly sexy. Wanna buy me it? Anyone? Nobody? Oh OK...

Scrolling through ebay and happen to find 2 stores offering the White Gold Heafy Razorback. I was shocked, because I wanted one before and I still do.

What the hell is going on? Did some other forum or dealer order 24 new RBs?


Beat Street Music

The Music Farm










EDIT: Hmmm, one says 2 available and the other says 4 available....

I've been watching some of dmometalguitar's videos on youtube. He does an in depth comparisson of OFR vs LFR trems, Floyd vs Kahler, Jackson vs ESP, etc....

Anyway, this one is really good, the history of this bridge starts at 00:36. It also shows pics of the prototype Floyd unit:

Hello everyone!
When I bought my silver VMNT1, it did not come with a case... so I am curious where I can buy a case for it. Anyone know where I can pick one up? I'd prefer the case that was meant to come with it (with the mustaine sig on it etc), but any hardshell that FITS it would work too. I have a few Jackson King Vs, and their cases are too small to fit it

Thanks in advance!

are there any mls with 24 frets?
i feel like ive seen one before but i dont know for sure
if there is one i would totally buy one (even though that check would bounce higher than a rappers car )

Dear Forum,
I stripped the paint off of my Early 80's Dean Hollywood Z and I noticed that it is made out of plywood. It was made in Korea. It looks like it was sprayed with a single stage red paint. Under that is a thick greyish beige primer.

Is this the way that all painted Deans are made, even the US ones? Or only Korean ones? I am used to guitar bodies being made out of mahogany, or other solid woods.

Does plywood work well as far as tone, durability, weight, ect...

Thanks

Can anyone tell me the rough weight of an import ML that is in a hardcase, packaged up ready to ship? Selling my washburn 333 and I need to get the potential buyer a shipping quote, but havent got a clue how much the package will weigh.

So once again the band I am in fell apart. For those of you that care, it was just me and the guitarist, and the guitarist just decided to give up on music and said he wanted to strictly concentrate on work and stuff (he's 20 years old) and I understand that completely, but I still kind of feel like shit knowing I no longer have a band, and more than likely never see my friend again, as he was considering moving and now has nothing to hold him back. Sorry for the rant but I needed to vent. And sorry for sounding like an emo, and yes I know that most of you guys have much bigger problems than I do.

Hello my name is Daniel and I am a 20 year old metal head. I have buddy that is totally into country and he is wanting to play guitar with me and possibly play some songs at a local bar (open jam). The thing is he likes country and I don't really like country at all. So I was wondering what are some good country songs that would appeal more to a metal head? They can be more country/rock or whatever I am just looking for something we will both like to play. Maybe a song with the usually country rhythm part but then a more intense faster lead part.

So any recommendations for faster up beat more technical country songs that would appeal to a metal head such as myself?

I try to keep my posts on this forum as Dean related as possible, BUT I thought the time had come to share something that is very special to me.
I graduated High School in the class of 1981, and I bought myself a gift. A 1981 Gibson Les Paul Custom silverburst.
I had to wait a couple of months that seemed like years for the special order paint job.



That is the headstock. Can you say headstock?



So, growing up as a young man and teenager, I always wanted an LP. Can you imagine the first time I saw a Caddy? I almost wet myself.

I hope that some day I can get a US Soltero, and Hardtail, but circumstances being what they are, I don't think I'll be playing one anytime soon.

By the way, can anyone guess why I want a SB DOA Caddy so bad?

Hello All,

OK so I feel like i am hanging my ass out in the breeze here but here is a new clip i just recorded this past week. This is version # 3 and I have just been learning how to do this so be easy on me. This is Hell bent For Leather by Judas Priest. I found a backing track online and decided to give recording with a track a go, and I am pretty pleased with it. I have an old mid 80's Hondo 2 Strat with a GFS crunchy rail pup in it on the left side, and a 67 Gibby V copy with a Duncan JB on the right. let me know what you think of this effort. I am painfully aware that I goofed the ending so lets leave that one be shall we... LOL thanks guys.

http://www.mediafire.com/?e9twmymgclc

im actually going to this place in boston for like 5 weeks and might not be on a computer the whole month that Im goin

at least all ill do is play gitar

http://www.berklee.edu/summer/5week.html

any help with music stores would also be apriciated

Ok guys, heres a printscreen of my guitar pro version of mouth for war.

my only question to those who know the solo already

Does that look correct? the reason i ask is because it sounds ok when i play it, but the thing that always hooks me up is how he hits the same note like 3 times, you notice that right at the beginning of the crawl.

So is that correct?

Can someone tell me how to save a video from photobucket to my computer? i really wanna enter this competition badly!!! Thanks

Not real happy with my TS 808 and have been searching around a bit and the mp3's on this one sound pretty sweet. Kinda wondered if tubes in a pedal isn't a bit gimmicky, but considering the price of this and who makes it maybe that isn't the case. Not into death metal at all. Looking more for a Damn Yankee's/Nugent type tone. Any one compared tube OD's pedals to standard?

Ive just had thought to see what peoples favourite shredders are. Being a dean player i'd be expected to say Dimebag or MAB, but no. It's Yngwie Malmsteen for me. He shreds a strat, it shouldnt be allowed, it wasnt built for that.

im soon going to buy a new head(saved for ever) but i dont know what to get. my thoughts are and engl powerball/fireball, mesa boogie(i dont know which one), or a peavey 6505+. i have only got to play the peavey which i loved right away. the engl is so much more and i dont think it sounds any better and i never use clean channel so who cares if it sucks on the peavey. I play a lot of metal like the black dahlia murder and stuff. just give you thoughts, experiences, or suggestions for other amps. it would help out a lot. Thanks

A local festival
www.waldrock.nl


Forbidden played Deans!!
Well, at least the two guitarists did. The one that looked like Corey Bouaileyeuiiue played an ML and the one that looked like Dino Cazares played a Razor V and Razorback.

So did Morbid Angel if I remember right, their bassplayer.
And somewhere I spotted a Demonator, but can't remember which band it was...
Maybe more, but I didn't catch all the bands.


Line-up:
Slayer
Missed, went home, hate Slayer.
Queensryche
Missed, went home, just don't like 'em.
1349
Missed, went home, didn't even bother to check them out.
Biohazard
First festival with original line-up since 20 years, awesome show!
Life Of Agony
Pretty decent, but nothing spectacular.
Morbid Angel
Not my cup of tea.
My Dying Bride
Really? Come on now! Bunch of emo faggots.
Lordi
Fun to see for once, lot of show though.
Rose Tattoo
Nice oldskool hardrock ['n roll], never heard of them, but they were really nice.
Helmet
Rather boring actually.
Forbidden
Deans! Thrash! Good!
Death Angel
Bunch of little Asians making a lot of racket. Pretty cool.
Symphony X
Missed. Time to eat and get more Jägermeister.
Hollenthon
Check out a couple of songs, not really my thing.
Pagan`s Mind
Heard them in the distance, glad I wasn't too close.
Hail Of Bullets
Mwah.
Death By Stereo
Awesome! Efrem was all over the place, in/over/between the crowd, lot of energy, killer show!
Alchemist
Who?
Greyline
Local band opening the festival. Good, but not my thing.
Strawelte
Local punk legends! Best show of the day!

Pictures here [so far]:

When I find more, I'll post them up! Didn't take pics myself, sorry.

All in all an amazing day. Wheather was goood, Jägermeister was good [mix with redbull], music was good, crowd was good, pits were good, atmosphere was good.

I play a JCM 800 2203 1982 through a 1960A who's from this years 2008 , for setting for sure I run it full gain so I know it make a normal noise likje presence 2 bass 10 mid 5 treble 6 master 3 or 4 and preamp 10 and I boost it with an SD-1 gain on 10 ...what is really special is that the amp had a noise before but not that big ! It seems that he does that noise since a play it with the volume higher like 5 or 6 ... and the pro where I drop it says to me that it's was no more noise ...so it's the cab ?

And yeah I know I play with a lot of gain and I tried to lower it and it was ok , my lower input channel too is ok , it's in the upper input...the noise is like a normal noise but too high and when I put my SD-1 on , it makes the same sounds as a shower lol , so I like wtf ?! because before for sure it was making a normal noise but not that loud

Can someone explain to me what this blemish is? It says there's an "extra veneer joint" but i have no clue what that means, is it something that would cause problems?

this is the geet

Hey all, got a new camera and wanted to get familiar with it, so I decided to snap some pics, and realized I haven't posted a dean family pic lately, so here ya go, my current deans:



Yeah, there's a fireplace in our studio cuz that's how we roll

Wow, I guess that studio needs a good vacuuming I will post some more pics of the studio soon as well as some pics of my other geets and gear.

Spent about 6 hours at the studio yesterday laying down a few riffs and getting my rhythm tone eq'd right. Next week I start laying down some of the framework for my new project.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHykGsKFTvs

I had one of their cds for a year or so now and i always liked it but i only just PROPERLY sat down and listened to it insted of it just being on in the back ground and there is alot of really good guitar work going on that I didnt notice before
anyone fans? or! not fans who think im talking rubbish?

i saw this video and thought maybe some of you would want to see it.
http://s259.photobucket.com/albums/hh289/Impish_Dragon/?action=view&current=Untitled.flv

what have you guys been listening to??

Alright.

Me and a friend got a little studio running. We got a really nice place. We know someone whos in the domain and has contact. So we had people in the domain for a lot of years come to our studio.

We only got compliement on it. The way we buit it, and the space we got.

Now, our guitar mics are good. we got SMs and i personally like the tone i get out of it with my Randall HT.

But it's when the vocals chime in. They sound weak and distant. (no i dont sing far from the mic) So i go to a local store, and ask a couple of question to the guy in the Sounds departement.

I ask him for preamps and stuff. And he tells me i should upgrade my mixer first. Since our mixer is our soundcard, and a very low-end yamaha model, i thought he was right.

So now im on vacation, got a lot of free time. Soooo, guys have any suggestions for a 500 to 1000$ mixer for studio use, that must have at least 8 Ins and is a soundcard.

So I ruined this dime o flage that I had and put this textured stone crap on it, then cut out some diamond plate and bolted it to the damn thing.

Now it sounds like complete ass and I hate it. I've decided that it doesn't even look cool anymore. So, what are my options/suggestions for refinishing this damn thing.

FYI: It sure seemed like a good idea at the time and it involved less than one case of coors light to get it done.



**UPDATE 11-9-08**
Here are the pics along the way. With the finished product. Finally. It sounds as ugly as it looks. Mission Accomplished.

What do you guys think about them? I've been listening to there new single alot latly and I realy like it. But I'm a big soad fan, they were like my first great concert that made me go, "yeah, this hobby of guitar playing will be my life" and it has been so far. In guitar world daren said that scars was going to be more clasic rock oreinted than system, and I can hear it in the song but not as much as I had original anticipated. but what do you guys think about it. I for one am pleased with it.

Shave the beard!

Anyone think the dixie rebel should be availible with more couler schemes? Everyone seems to go crazy for the limited runs in this body shape. Dean shoud make more production modles Without the DIME on the headstock, The dixie rebel shape reminds me of 'The New Era ML' what do you guys think


If you vote leave a comment why you chose yes or no

Has anyone ever been to a megadeth concert? If so im trying to convince my parents to let me go to their concert. They think there will be violence (mosh pits) and a ton of alcohol. Is there anything like that in the balcony? What is the concert like? thnx

So I got this thing and it just don't seem right. LIke the frequnecy that's being modulated is wrong or something. I expect more from Slash. Is mine broke? ANyone used one of these?

FYI: I am using the powersupply, so I know it's not dead batteries.

so my bands been together for about a year n a half now but coz a bunch of us are moving country... THURSDAY is our last gig ever, a local club owner who lets us play at his club ever 2 weeks is throwing a bash on our behalf

Now it's always been anything goes at his club so i'm just looking for any idea's on how i can make my band go out with a Bang!! all idea's welcome ... no matter how sick our vile, put yourselves in my position!!!!

Well, Like I said in the Newbie Forum, I got my daughter a Daisy Rock 3/4 Short Scale Butterfly Guitar, since I'm learning, she wanted to also. Plus, kids pick up stuff a lot faster, and since she's only 6 she'll have a long time to learn, if she sticks with it, she can be my retirement plan if she gets really good

Anyway, here is some funny pr0n. It's actually fun to play on being 3/4, and actually has a nice neck and action on it.

Ok guys i really dont knwo why my two razorbacks sound so different, My yellow devil (which i got from musicions friend for 600 buck) was built very badly, the harware is terrible and the yellow outline is very out in places. I know two guitars are never the same but my yellow devil and two tone sound completely different. My yellow devil is also REALLY HEAVY! Are Razorbacks supposed to be very heavy or is my two tone just very light. My jackson kelly is heavier than my two tone RB. The yellow devil is very very distorted and gives out a very ncie tone, while my two tone doesnt sound as powerfull, maybe its because of weight? Im not sure but I dont like to use both my razorbacks live because the tone changes so much.

Hey guys can anyone recomend some good songs in drop B?? Aslo what string gauge shoudl i use, I use 10-46 in e standard and 10-46 (with the 46 string changed to a 48 ) in drop D. and i would like them to feel the same in drop B

OK, we had the thread of naked dudes with guitars (*shudder*), so how about we change that a bit.......

can anybody suggest a good soldering iron
links and price plz
theres too many different kinds depending on where you go
whats a good wattage level for me

Ummmm..........Tiki Time?

Type O Negative's "Please Stay Out of My Dreams" 1:33 mark...incredibly wet, and overstaurated distortion, yet still well defined.....you can hear it at the link, at 1:33.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7AsR4nd5cNU

Usually Kenny Hickey is a bastard to figure out due to the sustainer usage.....in this case...I dunno....I'm missing something....

I have been trying to get this one for a while...any help would be great....

black edwards sawtooth E-AL-128




white scythe inlay alexi laiho edwards


or last but not least

the black with solid yellow stripes gold hardware and arrowhead inlays the only problem with this one is I don't want my hardware to tarnish as quickly as gold but it does look nice regardless.


final question does anyone know what the price would be if the yen price equates to 894.21 what would the import tax and shipping add to it?

Some feedback is appreciated
I took some bass, treble and presence away and added a Screamer there.

I just recently bought a whammy pedal, it was working perfectly for the first few days and then just all of a sudden it wouldn't work, the light is on and everything ive tried putting it in before and after my POD XT Live and i cant figure out the problem, it hasn't been dropped or hit or anything
has this happened to any of you guys with whammy pedals?
this sucks, ive wanted one for so long and when i finally got it, it breaks
[got it for free by the way]

so ya, any help?

I just uploaded a new song on my myspace, it's called Black-body Radiation.
Tell me what you think. If you hate it, that's fine just be humane.

It's still work under progress and I'm working on putting in a solo or something but I can't solo for s#%t.

Well my last band is coming to an end

But on another note, I get to go out on somthing new

So I need some advice from the all knowing dean fourm. All I've ever played is heavy metal, from the start. My new direction is going the way of my chemical romance and papa roach, and since my last band was very similer to warbringer I don't know how to conduct myself with this new musical style. So can you guys tell me whay sort of things would go in to this music. I do meen music; any scales chords, and what not that could do me well? I've started learning some songs to see how they are put together but what can you guys tell me about it?

how do you set up a non recessed floyd rose to float? I ask because Dimes original stage guitars were non recessed yet he could still pull the floyd back.

Thanks

24 fret red ML as seen on the "This Love" video. Is it a custom job or was it an available USA model in the past or anything? Probably still 24.75" I'd imagine?

i was plesently suprised when i came accross this so i thought i'd share it.

http://www.guitarworld.com/article/john5_gear_tour

Yeah, the room is junky. That's because I tamper with lots of stuff in that room.

But yeah, comments on the tone, riff, anything. It's one of the more up-tempo riffs from my band. The lick I bust out at the end is from the solo of the song the riff is from.

RAZOR777

a few years back i went to sharper image and i saw a guitar (it was a casio or yamaha) and this contraption had buttons instead of strings and 6 thin metal bars that you were to pick on.
it also had a poor excuse for a tremolo.
at the time i was a complete noob and the first thing that came too mind was "omg i doesnt have to tune it alls the time."

what was that thing called? link plz

NOT SHIPPING UNTIL THE 17TH OF THIS MONTH I THINK FOR THE USA BUT OUT IN EUROPE ALREADY.

HERE'S A CLIP IN USE. THE FIRST SONG ON THE LIST.
SIMPLY AMAZING SOUNDING.

I normally play my Dean DimeSlime everyday, but I didn't touch it this weekend. Some old friends called me and we took the bikes out..., after 6 months of snow and 2 months of rain, I couldn't say no!!!

So what's your excuse when you let your Deans just sit around the house?!?

ive been really looking into these amps..

does anyone on the board have one, what modules you useing if you do? i love changing my tone from time to time. And the MTS looks like the perfect amp for that. anyone have opinions of them?

heres the one i was looking at.

Steven Tyler Laid Off From Aerosmith As Band Jobless Rate Hits 20%

BOSTON—After years of relative stability, the Aerosmith unemployment rate soared to an all-time high of 20 percent Monday following the downsizing of the band's vocal sector, Steven Tyler.

Tyler, already dangerously underweight, says he will struggle to put food on the table without a steady income.

The announcement of the largest-ever round of Aerosmith layoffs sent shock waves throughout the group, but band leaders said that four decades of perfect employment was "unrealistic" and that it was necessary to shed some of the graying, outmoded workforce.

"Explaining to a longtime Aerosmith employee that his or her job is being eliminated is one of the most difficult challenges we face in this business," Aerosmith manager Trudy Green said in a statement released this morning. "We thank Steven for his many years of loyal service, and wish him the best of luck in all his future endeavors."

Analysts speculate that the sector-wide layoff was a result of multiple factors, including redundancies in the singing-songwriting division, rising rehab fees that have cost the group millions, and a 34 percent decline in jump-kicks since 2003. In addition, some of Aerosmith's younger, more ambitious employees, such as Joe Perry, 57, are willing to sing and play an instrument at the same time, often for half the salary.

"Tying a scarf to a microphone stand is unfortunately no longer a marketable skill," IndustryWeek editor David Blanchard said. "To compete in today's job market, you need to diversify your skill set. Someone who can not only sing, but also play tambourine and haul heavy equipment, is infinitely more valuable to a company."

Aerosmith, whose unemployment rate has held steady at 0 percent since the start-up rock outfit went public in 1970, recently underwent a paradigm shift away from what many deemed an antiquated business model. In the early 2000s, Aerosmith stopped manufacturing hits and instead began to focus primarily on repackaging and redistributing its existing product. This, Green said, made Tyler dispensable.

Tyler was reportedly informed of the decision 45 minutes before the band was scheduled to go onstage for a performance, and was told to pack up his belongings and turn in his Aerosmith "wings" pin before the audience arrived.

"Thirty-eight years of work, and this is the thanks I get?" said Tyler, who was set to retire in just 18 months. "It's embarrassing. When [guitarist] Ray [Tabano] left back in '71, we all got treated to a nice dinner and some cake on his last day. And he was only in the band for five months."

"The only reason I came on with Aerosmith in the first place was the job security," added Tyler, who said that after nearly 40 years of waking up at 5 p.m. sharp and going to work, he won't know what to do with himself when unemployed. "And I liked being able to come in wearing an unbuttoned leather shirt and a leopard-print cowboy hat. Where else am I going to find a job like that?"

Morale among the remaining Aerosmith employees, Tyler's coworkers said, is low.

"I'm going to miss Steven," said rhythm guitarist Brad Whitford. "He was a good guy, and, I don't know, I thought he sang pretty well."

This cost-cutting personnel change is Aerosmith's most radical shift in economic model since the band's experiments as a drug-trafficking cartel from 1978 to 1984, their brief 1986 merger with Run-DMC, and their short-lived 1994 attempt to switch over to fabricating microchips.

"This restructuring is exactly what Aerosmith needs right now," said Justin Levine, an analyst at Lehman Brothers. "Frankly, they've been in brand decline since that Super Bowl halftime show with Britney Spears."

"Everyone was hurt badly in the big 1998 Armageddon Bubble," said Bill Griffeth, host of CNBC's Power Lunch. "At that point, practically everyone—even members of the younger generation—bought into Aerosmith, but it was clear that they would not be able to sustain that level of global interest. In truth, purchasing any of their material since Get A Grip has involved a substantial level of risk."

Tyler is not the only one in the industry to be affected by the recent recession. In January, Bad Company was outsourced to China, and just last week, Don Henley of the Eagles was replaced by a drum machine.

Is this ever going to be dealt with? Trying to open some threads is hell on my computer.

Alright folks...I haven't seen this one thrown up as a Pro-Con debate just yet, so let's have at it. I've owned several Les Pauls and just one Soltero USA and they are very different instruments.

Here's what I see so far:

Soltero:

Pros - Much greater attention to detail, better quality materials, greater sense of durability, sleeker instrument.

Cons - Sonically extremely new-age (lacks vintage appeal), less balanced (more neck heavy).

Les Paul:

Pros - Classic fame/pr0n value, consistent tone (you know a Les Paul when you hear one), timeless design

Cons - Poor quality control, overpopularized design (everyone has one)

Specifically how loud is a tiny terror set at 15watts?

Loud enough for practicing?

Well, I won it on ebay...

Sorry I've been away for the last few days...
My mom and I moved away and are living at her friend's house.
The reason we moved is that we simply couldn't deal with my father anymore. (Some of you may know why, some won't)

His avatar has always been that crazy penguin.

You know how you develop a picture of a person, such as a radio personality that you always hear, or maybe someone on a forum such as this, then one day you may be shocked to see what they really look like.

...all new guitars and amps these are that good to my Livingroom Noodler's ears.

I paid $46+ 7% tax for an 18 footer. I'm headed back to Guitarget for 2 6ft speaker cables, a 3ft speaker cable for the Brian May Vox, and a 3ft. cable to go from the tuner to the amp head. I decided to remove the 3 ft. one I had in place and ran straight to the head just to see how that would be. It was SO MUCH louder, I was INSTANTLY convinced. A Hamer Fan Club and occasional DOA lurker posted to try them and I did. Until I get back to Guitar Center I have my 12 ft Monster 500 running from the tuner to the Crate head. It is SO FREAKIN' QUIET between hits of the pick on the clean channel. YUM!!!!! Single notes ring very bell like at times. BTW, the 12ft Monster costs as much as the 18 ft Mogami.

As with most things, YMMV!!!!!

WOW!!!!

World Entertainment News Network reports that a lost album Jimi Hendrix recorded with rocker Stephen Stills has been discovered more than 30 years after it was recorded.

Stills recently found the recording among a stack of material he taped during the 1970s, and his Crosby, Stills And Nash band mate Graham Nash is helping him prepare it for release.


Nash tells the Las Vegas Sun, "He has an enormous history of recording. In the '70s, he was a recording fool. He just found a bloody album he made with (Jimi) Hendrix."

"'Oh yeah, I forgot that. We've got to listen to that... I want to listen to every track he ever recorded in case he recorded with Al Jolson."

Hendrix's solo work in progress at the time of his death has previously been issued as the album First Rays Of The New Rising Sun, but the news of extensive recordings with Stills is a revelation.

Stills' 1970 self-titled debut album did feature Hendrix on one track, Old Times Good Times, but now it seems that there is an album's worth of material. Stills' album also featured Eric Clapton, but it's not known whether there is attack featuring all three guitarists – Clapton has never claimed he recorded with Hendrix, even though the two were friends.



Can't wait!!!!

Is this any good for a replacement floyd?

http://www.allparts.com/store/guitar-bridges-locking-tremolos-sb-0267-003,Product.asp

my licsenced floyd SUCKS and i want to replace it so would this get the job done?

What style of playing do you guys play? Is it like shredding to the fullest or more rythmy stuff? What people inspired you to play this way?

me personally, i like to shred like my inspirations steve vai, yngwie malmsteen, MAB, and joe satriani. (the weird thing is C.C. Deville is the one guitarist who got me to pick up guitar)

does anyone know of a good acoutic guitar that you can play solos on? On most acoustics you can only reach the 12th or 14 th fret, i need more room!!

Anyone got Mike's Cell Number? I am trying to hookup with him
at Rocklahoma.

I went to my local Guitar Center yesterday, and as usual I had to buy something instead of saving up to buy myself a mid-range axe. Anyways, my impulse buy this time was the TonePort UX1 by Line 6. Was looking for something so I could hook up to my computer and play and maybe record my progress, since I've only been playing about a month now.

Anyway, this little thing rocks. A lot of different Heads, Cabs, and Pedals are modded. Plus, you can download setups within the program of your fav song/band/guitarist. I instantly downloaded the setup to Purple Haze, and played the intro (Basically all I really know Hendrix-wise so far). Sounded pretty damn close. Granted, I don't have my "ears" yet and I know modeling can only do so much, but any sound you can think of you can get pretty close. Plus, there is NO latency at all... although I have a pretty beefy system, it never uses more than 10% of my CPU.

If you've been thinking about picking up an interface to play your guitar through your computer and record some things, I'd recommend it! If anyone has any questions, lemme know.

wstoll just gave me an idea ! Lets DOA me up there have a beer or something well like I said lets see who will be there ..

I've had mine for about 5 months now. Still sounds killer. No smoke nor sparks nor flames.

I still have to ask; what did you guys do to blow yours up? Maybe you all need lessons in ohm ratings.

Ok.

The new album as you all know is due september 30th.

But what i really wanna know is...

What do you think the Tuning of this album will be?

Ember to Inferno was Standard.
Ascendancy was Drop D
And the Crusade was back on Standard.

Since Trivium has 're-done' this album as everything trivium is and to this day is.
What do u think the album will all come down to?
back to drop D?
or standard again?

I wanted to know if anyone has played on this 7 string before. From the video that dean shows; it seems to be a bad ass guitar. Also from what Rusty said about the guitar as well. Does anyone know how much they are selling for? I was wondering if I should go after that guitar or another dime guitar?

These look awesome...

how come the pic of the slime bumblebee has a black outline but all of the ones ive seen in real life have a silver outline?

Is good if you take away the amp!!!


i have a cool cat overdrive pedal, and a terrible metal pedal.

I was recently working on my DK 14of 24 and put in a Screamin' Demon and Pearly Gates and an OFR. It worked perfectly and sounded freakin' amazing. A week later I pick it up and nothing is coming through. So I see my solder joint came off and headed out to finally buy some flux, now it does help a TON. However, there is no sound coming from my guitar no matter how I rewire it and I've done tons of soldering have the schematics available and now I'm worried. Brand new pickups, brand new CTS pots and capacitors. Steve installed a new switch because the old one was defective. Anyone got any ideas, I'm depserate.

Hey guys it's getting close to time for a new guitar and in the new music style I'm going it a gibby would suit me nicely. I would love to have a gibson les paul custom but I don't have the cash for one and I don't think CJ will give me his. So I'm looking at an sg, I've got one of the epi's g-310's in red that I put a dimebucker in and put grover custom peg's in that look like gibson's. and it's a good feeling guitar so I want to get a gibson one. which one of these would you guys sugest? I want to stay under a grand so less than the standard and I would like to stay away from p-90's so let's avoid the clasic. and don't sugest a dean, I love dean's but I can't get used the the dean C neck and when I play the V neck all I wan't to do is shred; and my new musical style dosent involve shredding. and if your wondering les pauls feel better to me but the lower end LP's just don't cut it for me. So in the line of sg's what do you guys think?

I'm stoned, so my speech may not be entirely correct.

This is a rough idea of what my band sounds like (please keep in mind, this was recorded just after we completely finished. It's not in a complete song structure, but instead it is the riffs of the song played in the order they go in in the song. My high E string was also slightly out of tune.)

I play the clean lead in the big intro, and the second one that starts at 3:27, and the other guitarist in my band (highly inspired by the style of Jus from Electric Wizard) plays the solo that starts at 4:37.)

The end is us getting experimental with feedback. Sounds cool.

I made a deal with a guy for a Dean Nashvegas in black and never before played, tags still on it. He asked for: Three black LFR trems and the SD Pickups new and Used and and two stock pickups as a even trade. We pay shipping for our items to the other. What do you guys think?

In the last few days as I've been reminiscing about the late, great drummer Buddy Rich, I found this short audio clip.

My self bought birthday present arrived today from Trinity Guitars in New York, a Larrivée C-09E (E as in has LR Baggs iMix no-cut pickups).

Only had a change to strum it for a little bit but she sure sounds great so far!!

Specs are: Sitka spruce top, rosewood sides and back, mahogany neck, figured maple binding on body (front & back), MOP/sterling silver headstock inlays, ebony bridge, fretboard and headstock front.

iPhone pr0n taken here at work, I can take better pics if requested:

any one have the march 05 gw cd. the one about dime. i lost mine a long time ago. its the only one i dont have since 05

so the more i see the dean stealth the more i love this guitar. so i think my next paycheck im goin out and buying one.

Im only posting this becasue I dont want to see anyone get taken from this douchebag. Apparently there is a guy on craigslist that has a USA Washburn Southern Cross # 97/100 with the black back that is only asking $1600 for it. I almost got suckered into it as well. We all know how rare and sought after the southern cross guitars are and how much they have been selling for on ebay when they do eventually pop up. This one here seemed like a little too good to be true. Well it is.

I been talking with my good buddy corpse and he was telling me how he though it was a scam. Well he was right. He did a bit of searching and showed me the emails this guy was sending out. I just now recieved an email from the same guy and its the same exact letter as he recieved.

First off, this guy is trying to say that he is using the www.theonlineoutpost.com/ (ebay dropoff center) third party to recieve payment for this guitar. Looking at the site, it clearly states that they do not use a third party for payment and that they only take paypal as payment. Apparently this guy wants your full name and address along with your credit card number to complete the transaction. Remember that the online outpost only uses paypal.

This is the very first line of his email.

He also states that the guitar is located at the online outpost warehouse in Las Vegas Nevada. I called them up, they were closed, but thier message did say that there is a craigslist scam going around that says that they are using the online outpost as thier third party to make this transaction and to steer clear of sending anything through moneygram or western union as you will never see your money again. Again, they only take payal. They also stated to report any scam like this to the Federal Trade Commision at www.ftc.gov so they can try and hook these guys and catch them.

This is just a heads up to anyone thinking about getting this guitar. You can pretty much guarantee that the guitar is not sitting in Vegas. Like I was told by the corpse that the only way he would go after it is if he walked into the online outpost in Vegas and saw the guitar in person and handed them $1600 cash on the table. I agree wholeheartedly. So I guess if youre daring enough and you live in Vegas or are close, go ahead and go in there and see if its there. If it is, youll get yourself a killer deal, but dont hold your breathe becasue this is a scam.

Heres the link to the craigslist posting for the guitar.

im new to this technique because i just am. when your going down or up do you hit every string seperatley or do you do it all at once like a chord or something like that? this technique really confuses me. I NEED HELP!!!

I was just flippin' thru the June issue of UK's total guitar mag at a store near my house. They printed a very nice letter from Elliott thanking them for all of the coverage that they have given Dean guitars and Dimebag (they included a pic of Dime with a Slime on his chin..., probably a Washy, but you can't see the headstock ).

They also rated V shaped guitars for under a grand (1000 euros, I guess?), and they Gave the Dave Mustain sig VMNT 4 stars outta five..., I was suprised when they listed the pros & cons of the guitar. They listed "conservative styling" as a con..., conservative?!? Ever seen a Gibson V Oh, wait a minute, they gave the Gibby V 5 stars

I've been checking out some Soltero's, and was wondering whether the SL version is worth the extra dough over the Standard.

And does anyone know if any of the Spaltero's are left?

I have always wanted a Trans Braz ML. Stole this one on eBay and it is just as the seller listed it....BRAND NEW. It went really cheap too and I was the only bidder. The reason, it looked like a fake ad. Stock photo, very brief description etc. The seller has 100% feedback though and he responded to my question telling me it was a brand new guitar still in the box with no flaws.

I rolled the dice and 4 days later, I have my newest Dean. Life is good.

anybody out there know how to fix the occasional buzzing on the bridge of the low E string, message me PLEASE!!!

i noticed the Raven RG100H head on Musicians Friend and i was wondering if Raven's amps are decent. all im looking for is a good cheap practice rig so i can leave it at my drummers house, but if theyre good i may end up replacing my current head.

Ok.
This might be stupid, it might not.

What is the diffrence between rosewood or Ebony ?

Yeah there is a color diffrence i see, but is the feel to it diffrnet?

Sry guys if this is stupid but i had to ask

www.showpaint.com

His stuff looks pretty good and he told me he can do pretty much anything and his prices seem pretty resonable.

oh and some of the stuff on the site is 18 plus you know some naked lady guitars and cars stuff

an example:::

Hey ya'll,

I'm running a BOSS NS-2 Noise Supressor at the end of my chain and I feel that it's cutting out some of the sustain from my signal. Is this typical of these pedals and or noise supressors, are there any that don't do this?

*tear*

I want more Dean Soltero eye candyyyyyyyyyyyy

Anybody

Feel free to post eye candy solteros!

i can't get enough of em...
I'm being really obsessive right now, idk y

This is the 1st generation of Randall warheads in 2x12 combo form... Effects and everything are fully operational and sound great... Both channels work great and the foot switch is included.. Heaviest sounding amp I have ever owned.... tight on cash and my tastes are changing more of a classic rock guy so I got a nice 30 watt tube amp.. I did remove the plastic tips on the sliders, on the 9 band EQ section because once i got my sound set i didnt want them moving around and being bumped... the sliders can be easily moved by a pick though... this to me was a huge upgrade and a necessity to keep my tone while moving the amp.. huge range of tones.. and to me almost sounds tube like when boosted... Payed a bit over $650 used for this and I am the second owner.. it has been gigged occasionally but never rough... I am willing to negotiate a price... idk how much shipping will be im guessing around $50ish dollars... if not a bit more? But ill be sure to pack it as if I were packing myself into a box... and then some...

Our reissue for 'Chain of Command' has came out on vinyl.

I just got tickets for Stone Temple Pilots!!! They're coming to my town on the 26th. So awesome. I heard they have a new album comin out. I havent been to a concert in years

What is your favorite pantera cd or even song (thought it would be a fun thread to argue about)

I'm about to come into a little money and I'm seriously thinking about grabbing a Transparent Red Hardtail Select. Hmm.... The only thing holding me back is I'm not able to play one around my town to try it out. Anybody have experience with the guitar?

Well, if we try really hard....

we might be able to get it back.

'nuff sed.



Although I can't use it right yet..

is there any reeal difference between the ml knight and the
dme -o- flame?

http://ultimate-guitar.com/news/video_news/alice_in_chains_readying_first_album_in_13_years.html

I'd be more excited about this if it were just Jerry, Sean and Mike as a trio, as i dont like the new singer....

But other than that, it'll be cool to hear some new material from them

Shirt for Soltero owners.

anyone have any experience with a graphite neck? what are some pros and cons?

............

Hi guys,
I used to have one of these back in the day and foolishly sold it,but was lucky enough to snag one a while back on the 'bay.

Does anyone know how to restore to the factory presets on these things ?
Any help is appreciated bigtime

Hey gang,could anyone here hook me up with a high resolution,straight on picture of a standard Dean ML headstock? I need it to get it as a tattoo.Preferably,the picture will have the first 2 frets on it as well. Thanks in advance!

...i've missed them THREE frippin times when they were in Zagreb before. Well...not this time

The concert was simply amazing and fun, they played over hour and half and then returned and did two more encores. Tito is an amazing showman and great singer and he was really pleased by the crowd's reaction.

When they started playing After Dark the crowd went nuts, the atmosphere went through the roof and at one point during the song Tito started dragging out girls from the audience and dragged almost 20 people on the stage with him!

Anyways, it was a blast and here is some pron (sorry for the bad quality)!

AFTER DARK





'EL JEFE' and yours truly



EDIT: forgot to mention how hot their bass player is (it's a woman )

.....to refinish a solid colour guitar with a trans top? I want to get my Ibanez V refinished, and I would love a trans top, preferably slimey (I love Dimeslimes).


I get the feeling this probably couldn't be done

I've been playing fingerstyle acoustic for about six weeks now.
No electric guitar. I've really been practicing hard and trying to play my best.

The other day I had found that I had finally attained an acceptable level of performance on the acoustic, so I busted out my Dean, fresh from the shop getting all set up.
He did a fantastic job.

I am having a hard time switching back to my electric style of playing.


Has any one else ever experienced this?

I saw them live in 91'... One of the best live speed metal bands ever. I still crank their CD's as much as I can. Marquis Marky is a SICK guitarist.

Here was their best known song performed live in Berlin.

Masked Jackle
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m55dcBIk_1k&feature=related

If you search around Youtube there are a bunch of other live and CD cuts. They were WAY beyond their time in the late 80s. I met Ron Royce (bass/vocals) years ago. He is about as amazing as bassists come and a really cool guy.

I was searching for other Coroner vids and found this one done as a cover from a band in Canada. WTF is that bass player playing on???? Or is he a guitarist/bassist with that thing? WOW!

has anyone seen the g.satomura vid on the dean page? the guy is pretty good. who is he?

I just started stripping my ibanez and MAN i have never seen a guitar with so much finish and paint, after 15 minutes i couldnt scrape off anything so i re-coated it with the stripper and am gonna let it sit for 30-60 min for one side...........pics coming after the project

Hey, I was looking at the Kerry King sig Wartribe and noticed the headstock looks different then the standard beast headstock, anyone else notice that or is the one I saw a fake?

Also how good is a Kahler? any advice on them?

Thanks

The local music shop here in Santa Rosa is going out of business. I went in to check it out. He is almost cleared out, but he still has a few nice guitars left.

If I wasn't planning a Disneylland trip at the end of the month I would have bought one of the 2 Razorbacks he has.

He has a two-tone (black and silver) Razor with EMGS and a Razor Explosion. $830.00 out the door for either of them WITH a Dean hardshell case.

I almost pulled the trigger on the Two-tone, but it would have cut into the Disneyland funds and wifey would have been pissed.

I doubt they will last long.

The store is called MusicX in Santa Rosa CA if anyone is interested. He has an EVO, a bolt on Razor and some Dean acoustics too.

He also has a Gibson, a few Ibanez's and some Schecters.

Oh yeah almost forgot....A Laney FULL STACK with the VH100R head for $1,800.00 out the door.

I didn't have time to haggle, but he is going to be out of the space he is leasing in a few days.....so he may be willing to negotiate.

so i got my musicians friend catalog in the mail today ...
and i saw some bill lawrenceseses in there.
are they THE bill lawrence or the OTHER bill lawrence?
i try to get sam ash to order some at the store a while back but, to no avail.
i thought they didnt do catalogs and stores.
discuss.

my computer has been so slow lately that i cant watch my por...i mean!...pantera videos.
what can one do to counteract such predicament

Found this while surfin' Great quality, awesome song- one of my Favorite maiden tunes. Anyways just thought Id share. I search and didnt find it posted before

Dean guitars are awesome!

Have a good day

i was wondering, because as you can see i am a bit of a collector of them. i was looking around and just saw there was a rebel yell limited run, by who?

i really wanted to know, how many am i missing?
is it some one one the forum that is selling the Black tooth grin #24 for $2000. Why so much?

I should be receiving a white mlxp in the next few days. I got one of these as a beater guitar because I love my naked lady so much I feel guilty when I see it out of the case in the corner of the room collecting dust. Also I whacked it into my guitar teachers door frame the other night and nearly s#%t myself.

Im not too bothered about the specs of the mlxp as long as it plays but one thing really will bother me - does it have plastic machine heads like the mlxm? If it does I think I might cry.

Also, does metallic white mean that it is all glittery?

Great news! I have inside information that someone from Dean has been put in charge of studying our ideas on the off topic section.

They have asked that we no longer post complaints on the forum because that has been completely hashed out.

If you have any complaints or ideas in general about the off topic section you are to either send them to Dean Guitars in hand written form, or send them as a fax.

Adresses and fax numbers can be found on the home page.

is the slime the same exect guitar as the cfh just with a different paint? btw what is the neck profile on the slime production model?

So I went to Guitar Center last night to look at mini guitars for my son.... Oh what fun I had....NOT!!!

So I looked at the Ibanez Mikro first its a cool looking guitar its got points and we all know points are cool
BUT it was so out of tune that I spent 20 min just getting it in tune
SO tuning it EADGBe but by the time id get to e the rest was flat
so thats why it took 20 min to tune
so I played a few chords and when I got to my third chord it was all went flat and sounded like crap I dint really look to see if it had string slippage but at this point I didn't care
Looks cool tho

Ibanez GRGM21 Mikro Electric Guitar Features:
22-1/5" scale
24 frets
Dual Powersound humbucking pickups
Hardtail bridge


So...on to my second choice

I really didn't want to get the mini strat I'm not a fender fan
they are GREAT guitars but I'm just not a fan
But anyways so I pick up this mini strat.
GUESS WHAT....Its in tune a tad off but real close so I just give it the once over a quick look at. It stays in tune and it plays so much better than that mikro and past the 9th fret it still is playable
oh thats what I forgot to say on the mikro I tried to play a little lead and anything past the 9th fret just didn't work (POS)
the mini strat was really cool it was so much better
so I played it for about 30-35 min and I was sold
cool little rocker its not a metal guitar but it is a rocker

Squier by Fender Mini Strat Electric Guitar Features:

Small-scale neck
(20-3/4")
Three single-coil electronic pickups
Master volume and tone controls
Maple C-shaped neck
Rosewood fretboard
20 medium frets
Hard-tail 6-saddle bridge




so I got the strat, gig bag, cord, pics, and a strap
and the strat was in much better shape then the Mikro
so pre-play scratches digs or anything
Ill post some pron of my kid rocking out tomorrow
its Birthday Party time tho and the Fam will be arriving shortly...

Have a Good Day I know I will

I actually like the GearBox software... The bass models really aren't loud though


Comments, good or negative, are welcome

PS: I know the bass notes don't really ring out right, because I was using way too light of a gauge for drop C

Down is touring but it's 18+ I am cut beyond belief, anyone under 18 ever bought a ticket for a 18+ concert and gone, I get told I look much older than my age and I REALLY REALLY REALLY WANT TO GO

Is this legit? The back looks very orangey (could just be the picture quality?) and it just seems a bit dodgy to me

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=300241726203&Category=33048&_trksid=p3907.m29

Are they good guitars? Is the tone good (after a pickup swap maybe?) how are they compared to the high end VMNT1's?

And I'm frippin' psyched!! I've been looking forward to this night for so long.


Pics will come within a few days

I just got back from Warped Tour and saw this amazing band called Forever the Sickest Kids, of your going, seriously check them out, best act there. Anyway, I love there song "whoa oh" but I cant figure out how to get that sound. The melody and the changes arn't bad, but I want it to sound like there set up as well. Any ideas?
You should check out this awesome interview with them that I just found while updating my Buzznet. Its super funny and there are warped tour dates posted up on there (http://www.buzznet.com/musicnews/foreever-sickest-kids-want-monkey-j2497861/)

FROM SHELBY COUNTY TODAY: ---Shelby County, Texas
At approximately 3 PM, Tuesday, July 2, a 2008 Dodge Ram 2500, pulling a new travel trailer, hit the corner of the Texas State Bank Drive-In on Tenaha Street, causing the complete awning to come to the ground. Luckily, the driver of the Dodge, Mickey Miller, of Garrison and his 10 year old son were able to exit their vehicle uninjured. According to Miller he was circling the bank to park on the other side when the corner of his travel trailer caught the corner of the bank awning. Next thing he heard was a rumble as the awning started falling against his driver''s side door. Somehow he was able to unbuckle the seat beat and exit the other side of his truck as it was falling. Mark Ivy of Texas State Bank stated that the main lobby would be open for business while the drive-in is being repaired

Since a friend of mine let me play this one a couple years ago, I have had in the back of my mind the thought of getting one of these......

"Out For Delivery".......



Cool!

anyone have a good Doomsday Jesus and graveyard disciples backing track?

Got to turn up the volume on this new Vox ValveTronix amp yesterday! I mic'd it into my Yamaha mixer, dry and a little heavy on bass and HOLY FVCK!!! this setup is LOUD! I still only had my mixer master set to about 6 and there was more volume on the Vox, too. It's that tone that hits you right in the chest with a good solid A chord. Yeah!

what should i do to get better at my techniques?
Im making a guitar check list to help me and so far i have...
learn 5 pentatonic positions
learn vibrato
learn legato and staccato better
can play over 12 bar blues better
solid rythm player
know music theory
know and play arpeggios better
learn chords/chord progression better
...if there are any more things you can think of please post them. any help is appriciated.

how do i get a hotter more metal sound without actually changing my pickups?
im going to get a new amp one day(i have a 15 watt valvetronix(not very metal ), and ill eventually get new pickups or maybe a whole new geetar. but until then all i can do is mess with my settings.
also i has a DS1 what can i also do on that

I PERSONALLY LOVE DRUMAGOG BUT NOT A FAN OF THE REAMPING SO MUCH. THE LATEST MACHINEHEAD AND BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE CD'S RUINED REAMPING FOR ME. SO BUZZY AND UNATURAL. I AM CURIOUS TO HEAR THIS CD THOUGH. AS FAR AS THEIR BIGHEADS THINKING THEY ARE GOING TO START A NEW TREND. DONT COUNT ON IT. NO ONE WANTS TO BUDGET THE MONEY TO LONG RECORDING TIMES.

Ive seen these amps floating around but dont really know much about them. Ive never heard any of Lee Jackson's stuff actually..

I've been brainstorming this evening and have been writing stuff down as it comes to mind. Mainly based off of strong feelings for past events of late.

Question to you folks, what inspires you dudes? Do things just come to you and get put to paper or do you plan things out by, for example, taking a subject matter and then proceeding to write upon it?

Also, I'm not my band's vocalist. I wish to put the stuff I have to him. Does anyone feel they need to explain all meaning - however deep - so that the right mood can be taken on by the person that will be in command of the lyrics? Or leave it open to his/her own interpretation?

Just curious, as I've never let anything I've penned go further than my head and - once or twice - a notepad in my drawer.

Ok, now im not a trivium fan. but i have always liked the song "Pull Harder on the Strings of your Martyr"

but what happened to the energy of the song?

heres a clip from 05 at download:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=EMu8iMOE_SQ&feature=related

the chorus is the part i really liked. now on the record it sounds awesome, "It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings" sounds amazing. and in the 05 clip he does it OKAY, but then heres an 06 clip and he sings the entire song really badly. what happened?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=DV5QDQ-YJok&feature=related

its like all the energy from the song just goes away in the 06 version

Soon to be in my hands is a Washburn 2ST, really happy to finally be getting one of these guitars, but from the pics the guy sent me I noticed the fretboard is fairly light in colour, kinda looks odd on this guitar imo. So I was wondering how I could go about darkening it? Im not after an Ebony pitch black look, just a darker brown colour.

Here's the Pr0n he sent me:

I just got their [self titled] debut album by mail....

All I can say is: Floobin' schnarg, they own!

Heavy as %$#@!, riffs all over the place, killer solo's, agressive sound, me like. A lot.

So i just finished my 3 days of stripping and sanding for HOURS on end, now its time to finis up this guitar body. I was wondering if i have to put oil onto the body before finishing it or if i could just go straight to the finish?

my guitar is mahogany like this one and I want the wood to look as much like this as possible if not better. Is there a brand name of satin finish you guys would reccomend ro get high quality looks and feel? and also how do you apply the finish, with just a brush? and last question, how many coats of satin should be applied to get that look and sleek feel? Thanks a bunch

Crowbar and Eyehategod teaming up for for a 20th anniversary show here in New Orleans on Aug. 29th

The 2 bands haven't played together since 2000... Should be one kick ass show to say the least!

BB King was doing a show for a company. If you're real sharp you should be able to figure out who.

We were watching and BB said Neil Schon wants to join us. So he was jamming with BB.
A few minutes later, he said " There's someone else who'd like to come up does anyone mind."
"Ladies and gentleman. Pat Travers!"
They spent about 45 minutes playing the blues, taking turns playing solos with BB as their leader.

This is one of those shots where you have to hold the camera in the air and hope you get a decent shot.
Man am I glad we're done with Polaroids!

Does anyone got one yet?
I would love to se some pic of the neckjount, if it just a regular joint, or something like neck thru joint!

Hey Guys!

I'm just wondering if anyone has played these Exotic Warlocks BC Rich has started to put out. They look killer for the price but I'm just wondering if anyone has actually played one.

This is a usa proffesional model so hard to come by aswell perfect for all you battio fans out there or somone who wants a prs/Gibson type guitar but with more class!

Let me know offers of between 500-700 will be considered.

I will get a full set of pics up.

I'm going with a chick I know to see these guys this weekend and really don't know a lot of their stuff. I wanna kind of be familiar with their setlist. What are some songs or albums I should listen to? I already know of stuff like Down and Amber, but that is really the extent of my knowledge of 311. Please educate me.

Is this a good guitar because it is the one im thinking about buying?

Does anyone know what kind of amp Paul Gilbert mainly used on the Silence Followed by a Deafening Roar cd?

Dudes! If you come across one or know of one post a link! Ive checked the bay and craigslist. I heard clips of these amps and they sound SICK.

many thanks

Even though I took a week off ya'll still know the drill right?

Will be there from the 17th until the 24th. Mucho beers to be had for you board dudes!

Hope everyone has a good week!

To make this thread comply with this section, it must be guitar related.

Here is what I'll be leaving behind unfortunately, hope she's ok:-

i was checking 'THE BAY" and i came across this.

i kind of like it though, and i don't really like slimes. unless they have some badass flame on them.

Does anyone have a model of a guitar (dean would be fantastic) that could be use for a 3ds max animation.

I haven't seen one of these pop up in a while, so I figured I'd start one up. So how about it? A thread just filled with guitar pron for people to enjoy! So post away everyone! Here's a few shots I took the other day, I'm not too good with a camera, so bear with me.

Here's the ML with its brand new Dimarzio Super Distortion, just threw it in yesterday!




I realized I never took a pic and posted it of Cadzilla after I added the new pup to it, so here it is!




My old Wasburn X-series. First guitar I ever bought with my own money, I worked my arse of to afford this when I picked it up. Had it for 7 years, and it's definitely my workhorse guitar.



Lastly, here's just a picture we took a few weeks ago of all the guitars people own in my house. We've got ourselves a nice collection going, and it's only getting bigger. This pic is missing my Washburn and Jackson, as well as another person's Jazz bass, Mexi-strat, classical acoustic and Cadzilla.

I found this in an old issue of People magazine I had stored away from Aug 1978.

I was just flipping through it, saw this, and said holy s#%t that's friggin' cool.

i'm a guitar builder since i was 12 years of age i've designed alot of off the wall shapes but when i seen the splittail it makes me wonder who designs dean guitars are they rippoff artist or am i just late in inventing new styles i don't have copyrite power like they do but you goahead and look on a web site called www.guitarheads.net you will see one of my designs that i had prototyped over 4years ago in there customer guitar gallery under looper guitars check it out and see the simalaritys for all i know they've had it copywrited for Five years ok i don't spell very well but i can mfgr a mean FN Looper guitar.

We all start our band some where.
Billy called his band The Coachmen in 1965.


He didn't always have the look that he's famous for!



Then came "The Moving Sidewalks!" They were professional working musicians now!


Billy's the only one that went on to "ZZ" (He's the one with the six stringer"


They performed from 1967-1969.
They even made records! ( They were kind of like ipods, but you needed some extra hardware to make them work)




Talk about luck! They got the job to open for Jimi Hendrix.
I read an article where Billy said he and Jimi woul jam til all hours of the night in his motel room, of course raising the ire of the other guests.


Well... sometimes bands go there seperate ways.
Billy got a three piece group together and they called themselves ZZ Top!



By 1971 they were playing where they could. Like a high school auditorium!


They made a big record deal! Hit the big time!
Their second album is my favorite! (1972)


Yes! They were officially "That Little Ol' Band From Texas!"



My second favorite ZZ album Tejas came out in 1977.





Two years past before Deguello came out.


After That album during the two year hiatus that followed the famous combed out beards were grown.
This is 1980 on tiur, and working on the El Loco album.



In 1983 they relesed "Eliminator" And that is when the sky rocket was launched.
This is Billy's car that the album was named after.




Then they discovered Dean guitars!





Please. No negative comments on the forum about this Dean.




Fast forward to today. Not all bands become musical legends.
Now they just bask in the glory!

I'm interested in which set is everyone's favorite. I've always been a huge fan of vintage P.A.F. sound and I think that SD does a great job of replicating some of it. The 4 to choose from are:

Seth Lover SH-55 (Joe Perry - Aerosmith)
Alnico Pro II APH-1 (Slash - Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver)
Pearly Gates SH-PG1 (Billy Gibbons - ZZ Top)
'59 SH-1

The only set I dislike is the Alnico Pro II. I think it's a bit whiny and thin expecially on a solo setting in the neck position. Personally, I'm really digging the Seth Lovers and '59's, but can't decide on which.

And guys, please limit this topic to Seymour Duncan's only. I know there are a bunch of alternatives out there, namely DImarzio's P.A.F. line, Lindy Fralins, and WCR Godwood/Filmore etc. If you have to make a comparison, make it to Gibson's original line.

does Dean use on thier USA guitars? Dimarzio?

does anyone know why dean doesn't do maple boards (well, except the vinnie moore sig). is it because it's not possible for them to do or do they just not want to?

it'd be cool to see a maple fretboard on a caddy, z, ml, or v. maybe a white body with some black binding and black block inlays or something? similar to this.


is it not possible for them to make a maple boarded import or do they just not think it would sell?

hey dudes

what do you think music will be like in a few years

ok, so does anyone here have an unusually tight playing hand (if you are a right, then I'm talking about your left and if you're a lefty then vice-versa)?

I'm a righty and I constantly keep finding myself with a really tense left hand (I don't know if it's the muscle's or what) often to the extent that it hinders my playing. It's not like I'm cramping up or something (I know that much) but I'm just wondering does anyone here have the same problem and is there anything that they personally do about it?

Pretend to be my dad for Buckethead November 10th at the Granada pretty please?!
