Hey all,
I'm thinking about doing a trade for an old Ibanez RG550 I have for this
Dean V Razorback.

http://s112.photobucket.com/albums/n190/xxblazinaznxx/?action=view&current=Picture4.jpg

Serial is US07050618
I think it's a continued Dime Razorback Standard (Black/Red)

Can anyone verify this?

I would say that I keep my entire situation simple.

Distortion pedal, hoping to test out a Ibanez tube screamer (I've only played the Viper modeling of one an loved it), and possibly delay or reverb

How bout you guys?

Has anyone ever seen/played a Halo Guitar?

I kinda like the way the reaper model looks, but I've heard next to nothing about them and what I have heard isn't all that great.

So, does anyone know anything about them or is this just another brand that should just be avoided?

Ok guys please don't bite my head off.

I know this is the DEAN forum.

I've never personally played an ESP, but are their necks hard to get used to if all you've ever played is a regular C-shape?

I'm asking this because I hear that they have a weird shape with their necks.

I just hooked my DC5 and my HT5 up in stereo and GOD DAMN SON! That's an amazing sound! The Mesa is a lot tigether, but the blackstar can dial into some of that marshall hugeness that the mesa just can't capture with the 6L6's...

while using a delay pedal up front is a bit of a sin, it's really awesome to hook up two amps in stereo.

Who else is running stereo amps? and what've you got?

My kid was watching some show called Yo Gabba Gabba a little while ago and they had a band playing. One of guitarists was playing a lefty silverburst Caddy.

Was finally able to get rid of the 6505+. As some of you know, that amp was just not right for me.

I did a trade with someone on another forum for a perfect condition Rivera Knucklehead Tre 120.

This thing is a tank! I can't wait to try it out later tonight. Especially if I can find my Maxon OD808 to boost it.

Only 1 picture right now, and it's from my phone, so excuse the quality.

esp finally announced the release of a black truckster ESP and LTD models its suppose to hit the shelves this fall.

OK CAN ANYBODY TELL ME IF A WASHBURN 333 MODEL WILL FIT INTO A DEAN ML CASE, I READ SOMEWHERE THAT THE WASHURN 333 IS A BIT BIGGER THAN A ML, BUT IF ANYBODY OWNS A 333 THAT COULD HELP ME WITH THIS ID GREATLY APPRICIATE IT THANKS!

Does any one have LED lights in there pickups??
I may try this,first i'm gunna look up no it but doesn't it look cool

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08aZZF3yF40

I will have this complete within a couple of weeks. I've been designing and planning for this for over 2 years.....



Street price will be $300

Will edit as things progress:

I havent seen a thread liek this before so I thought I should make one! What brand cables do you use?
Recently Ive been using the Planet Waves Custom Pro's, The 20ft cable came with a free 10 pack of strings

ok esp is giving out free guitar rig but when you go to download it, it asks for a coupon code and i cant find it anywhere has anyone esle got in on this

Hey guys just wondering what most of you guys prefer. Playing your guitar on your left or right knee. I have been playing guitar for over 10 years and I have always played on my right knee (I am right handed) but now that I am playing much more demanding fast solo stuff I am finding that having my guitar on my right knee makes my left elbow too close to my body and it feels awkward. I am also a little over weight so that doesn't help when playing solos up at the 17th frets. I have noticed that most of the big guys in metal guitar all play on their left knee.

So I guess I'm not really looking for any answer or anything I am just curious to see what your point of view is on the left vs right knee. I have been playing on my left for the past 20 minutes or so and it is already feeling way more natural and comfortable. Also something my guitar teacher told me a long time ago.. He said which knee is closer to the position your guitar would be in when playing standing up.. obviously the left knee is a lot more similar to playing standing up then the right knee is.

Has anyone else here made the switch from right knee to left knee? If so, why and did you find it hard to make the switch or was it easy? I am also interested in getting a V shaped guitar some day (probably the LTD Alexi) and those things seem to be impossible to play on your right knee.

I have never really done that and now I really regret it after a bit over one year of playing. So, what songs would you guys recommend to start training my ear with?

has any one played one? what they sound like? i guess you cant go wrong for the price

Comments?

I was just looking at the RR3 and the gas started to build up.

Does the Rhoads shape appeal to anyone else besides me? It looks cool but then I started to think about how uncomfortable it looks to play sitting down.

Even though I would play standing up the majority of the time, I still play sitting sometimes.

Long story short i had to sell my sg supreme to fund a car, but then my parents helped me pay for the car so i had some extra money laying around, and no guitar. You can see where im going with this. After alot of deliberation i bit the bullet and bought one of these bad boys.

This was waiting in my room when i got home from work



Sweet little gig bag



BAM! Jackson Mark Morton Dominion



Amazing looking top



The inlays really surprised me on this one



Incredibly easy upper fret access



Its got a whopper of a neck, think gibson 50's



Full Frontal



All in all i am more than pleased, snagged this off of ebay for a steal of a price and wasnt expecting the quality to be this top notch. For anyone who is thinking about buying this guitar.... DO IT! I have been looking for about 4 hours on this guitar to find something that i dont like... and i cant. And that means alot, believe me

You can have an acoustic, an electric guitar, and one amp... WITH NO OD or DISTORTION...

What would you pick and why?

So I just got an email from my dad telling me that my CBV just got to his house. i wont have any pic until at least mid Aug cause of ym current location (Africa). As soon as I get to his house i will have pron

Perhaps it's the divorce, perhaps it's my 5th glass of wine tonight..., but right now I feel like this song was written for me:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgnZ1l31phY

Can I post this here without getting flamed? Am I treading too close to emo tonight? Or does anyone else here like this band?!?







It’s all about steam, it’s all about dreams
It’s all about making the best out of everything
You’ll know when your fine
Cause you’ll talk like a mime
You’ll fall on your face
You get back up and you’re doing fine
A considerate clown a preachy preachy machine
Is one of the sweetest things you would say about me
But I don’t have the time for your distorted esteem
Why are you toying with my, mind?

I don’t wanna hear you
Say-say-say-say say-say-say say it
I don’t wanna hear you
Say-say-say-say say it
I don’t wanna hear you
Say-say-say-say say-say-say say it
Now you’re messing with my pride

You think you’re smarter than me
Well everyone knows you will never be smarter than me
That’s how it goes
I gained forty pounds because of you
Was there an S on my chest
Well I confess you were too much stress
I’d have a heart attack at best
So now I breathe it out I breathe it out
I spit it on the crowd cause they lift me up
they lift me up they lift me up

When I’m feeling down
What am I spitting out? spitting out
something we never talk about
It’s called my, mind

I don’t wanna hear you
Say-say-say-say say-say-say say it
I don’t wanna hear you
Say-say-say-say say it
I don’t wanna hear you
Say-say-say-say say-say-say say it
Now you’re messing with my, pride

I’m sick of standing in your line
So now you’ll have to take it
take this to heart
I will never let you f@#k me over
Stop talking down to me your war is old
your game is over
So here’s my coldest shoulder

I don’t wanna hear you
Say-say-say-say say-say-say "say it"
I don’t wanna hear you
Say-say-say-say say it
I don’t wanna hear you
Say-say-say-say say-say-say say it
Now you’re messing with my pride

Oh, something we don't talk about!

There are two guitars I really want that both have EMGs. One is a B.C. Rich and the other is an ESP.

I know a little about EMGs and what they sound like, but do they make different guitars sound the same?

The reason I'm asking is because I don't want to have two guitars that sound the same. What's the point of even getting the other guitar?

Remember XYZ? Well I know some of you do. Just started learning this song. Didn't bother with the solo yet.

Here is the original
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7H2HBZ8lYU

Here is my version. Pretty close I think. All by ear.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JB6YEgmysG4

I'll redo the whole thing with the solo once I figure it out in a few days or so.

Anybody tried this for recording guitar tracks? Good? Bad?
Just looking for something to start me off.

So yeah.Are they any good for metal?Anyone can share me some experiences with using them for heavier stuff?I need a warm,balls to the wall tone,lotta mids and lows(my previous cab was ok for me until I've heard it on stage...basses simply disappeared),nothing like Dime's razor sound.Kinda like Alice in Chains/Lamb of God.I have a good offer for a 4x12 loaded with Legends 125 but unfortunately can't test it myself.

Ive been trying to learn a song by ear but im not having much luck with it, ive managed to learn the first half but the last 27 seconds have me stumpt.

So, I was wondering would anyone be kind enough to tab it out for me?

Here is a link to the piece in question, the quality isnt the best I know but thats how it was recorded, and btw it is in Drop C tuning.

http://www.fileden.com/getfile.php?file_path=http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/8/3/2033375/The%20Red%20Menace.mp3

I just listened to the new Killswitch this morning at the gym.
still not sure what i think yet
One thing is for certain, the guitars sound heavy as fuct..
Any thoughts?

Check out the video of this cover of Boston's classic. One guy plays all instruments, pretty flawlessly too. He's got some dude with killer pipes singing. I thought it's pretty damn cool.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H57pWC5rvk

Is anyone a fan of the silverburst ML?
Everyone I've seen has a Black back.
Mine is an 04' the first year they came out.
And has a silver back.
I do know that they were named Dime bag Joe after a forum member. I got that in a email from DOA JIM. which I did print out. I ran into a Dean rep right after I got it and he told me it was a very early run. It was to costly to continue the silver back, so they changed to the all black back.
And he also said that there was fewer than 200 made or maybe even less, with the silver back.
Has anybody else heard anything like that or was he just blowing smoke up my rear.

I have conpared it to my other two 79 series and it has a different neck.
It feels alot wider than my others.
And the black pups scream alot brighter/hotter than stock zebra pups. Any info on them? Thxs for any help.

well i was at GuitarTrader yesterday and i saw a white ESP Les Paul(im not familiar with the names of ESP guitars) that looked good to me.
i picked it up, flipped it around to look at the back of the headstock and saw that the serial number looks alot like Dean import serial numbers.
the ESP was a import BTW and i saw this in the thread with the guy trying to find out about his baby ML

Greg Crowe wrote:

Wayne pretty much covered it but I'll add........ Made in 1984 by ESP in Japan. They usually go around $300.

so are import Deans made in the same factory as ESPs? would that make Dean and ESP the same guitars just with different brand names stamped on them?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YE-GPXYeTA

Enjoy, kids.

i always see the cheaper guitars made out of it. is it shitty wood? how does it sound compared to mahogany as far as sound difference?

ive read some info on both but i want to know what you think. is there anything really wrong with basswood? or does it get a bad wrap just cause its cheaper in price?

Hey just thought I would share this with you guys. I found it for free here.

http://www.liquidpixelshop.com/LPSCGG/KellyGuitarGen.htm

I think we already know about the Rhoads V and the Explorer one but if not Ill post those to...

http://www.jcfonline.com/resources/csgen/RhoadsCustomShop.htm

http://www.liquidpixelshop.com/LPSCGG/ExplorerGuitarGen.htm



just made this. it Has 4 knobs because thats how his LP's are set up, knowing zakk he would probablt have a LP Custom neck on it which would copmpletly ruin it.

This one is me playing Fearless sort of like I did for Love Story. I'm going to learn all of these one day!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f1_SZ7uKNU&feature=channel

Name some riffs that you think are "must" for a guitar player.

Ill start:

Smoke on the water intro
Paranoid intro

those were the first 2 that popped into my head. name some more

http://www.dv247.com/invt/48718/







Im a floyd virgin? Does anyone have this, or any other guitar that uses the Edge III?

Il prob put an x2n in it

WOOOOOOO Just bought my first USA DEAN about 5 mins ago.....i'm super excited.... and heres a tease....




thats all you get mwahahahaha!!

Yup, I just saw Bon Jovi on Sat 27 Jun 09. He played the Magnetic Hill Music Festival in Moncton, NB. It was quite the trip driving all the way over there for the show, but well worth it for sure. Bachman Cummings, State of Shock, and Mobile also played. It was my first time seeing Bon Jovi play, so there's another "tick in the box" for people I'd love to see play live.

Anyways, I know what you really want! Here's some pron...ok lots of it!


Oh, and here's a video I shot of Richie Sambora singing "I'll Be There For You". Hope you like it. It actually turned out much better then I'd expected.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8aTjGZeLXk


Warning: Lots of Pron!

Anyone have a DOD Grunge? I need to see some shots of the inside of a newer one. Digitech models don't count. I have one of those.

I can't find shots of it on teh interwebz. D :


I need to know what kinda components they use for modding purposes.

I've had my Vypyr 75 for almpst 3 months now and today I got the Sanpera 2 foot controller. It has a volume and wah pedals and controls almost everything on the amp, and my favorite, a looper.

Anyone know where to get good schematics for a King V or VMNT.

Got a new wah, Dunlop Classic Crybaby... I love it.

Don't have any pics of it but it's just a pedal.

I like it a lot better than the ZW way I used to have, this has a lot more diversity(in my POV) in it's sound.

Will post pron tomorrow probably but I love the V.

24 frets
25.5 scale
Great sound
Killer bevels.

Love the thing,again, will post pron ASAP.

All the pics i took with it came out shitty but here it is.



the only good pic.

Did anyone know of this site? It must be legal cause I had tp pay for what I downoaded. I got Wrathchild America-3D for $1.08, thats $.81 per song. They have a tone of bands. I couldnt find 3D anywhere, Amazon, iTunes, etc... This site had it. FYI

Do you have to switch to different gauge strings if you are drastically changing your tuning?

I have been playing guitar for a while and this is news to me. Probably because I haven't had to change my tuning very much at all for the songs I play.

So, I am running my mxr 10 band eq in the effects loop of my RM100 just like i used to with my V2.

For some reason now, the lights on the level and gain sliddders blink when i hit heavy chords, i read somewhere this meant it was clipping.
but i'm not boosting anything, it does it even when the pedal is off, like it can't handle the new head, it doesn't do this with the v2.

There are no sound problems, but i wonder what it means?
Any clues?

Other than the microcube. Needs to be lightweight enough to carry around while playing.
Need it for a new project of mine, if I can get it started.

THE kkv is almost done i cant wait the guy at sharp concepts said he had the president of Schecter guitars there yesterday and he said the guitar looked amazing!! gota love that!


there is one little spot that shows white but were doing the quick fix with black nail polish since the metal couldnt wrap around the side of the guitar

VOTE IS OVER!!! THANK YOU ALL!!!!

http://www.aeroforceone.com/index.cfm/pk/view/cd/NAA/cdid/1177487/pid/1175583

Many of us here have several guitars, which one is or which ones are your favorites...

I have 8 guitars and these 3 stand out...(although, that's only right now, situation can change around)

Sweet! Got my Kelly back with the D-sonic installed!!! It sounds pretty damn badass so far, it cuts through the mix amazingly!! Still tweaking a little bit, but I definitely recommend this pickup.

It cuts through better than I would have imagined, I heard it was a pretty bass-heavy when I was looking around for info. It's got plenty of power to it, and is still very clear and articulate. Very middy, so it gives a great crunch when I'm going for teh brootalz

But what really surprised me about it was the cleans. It's got a beautiful clean tone. Even in the bridge, and with the midrange the D-sonic has, it wasn't nasally or harsh AT ALL. Somebody at Dimarzio knows their shi t. I have no idea how they managed to make such a well rounded pickup, but damn, they did.

I might try flipping it so that the bar is toward the neck just to see the difference.

I'll some prons upload soon, if I can figure out how.

PLEASE, I AM DYING TO SEE ONE OF THESE GUITARS. I HAVE ONLY SEEN DIMES ON STAGE AN THATS MY DREAM GUITAR. PLEASE POST PICS IF YOU HAVE ONE! OR ANY OTHER STEALTHS YOU HAVE!

Will I need to adjust something if I just bought a Gibson Explorer that have 10-46 tuned in Standart and I want to put 10-56 and pu it in Drop C ?

Will I need to play with the truss rod ?

Okay..., so I've seen about 3,000,000 threads here about the greatest pups ever.



So, what are the worst pups ever made?!? The pups you were so happy to sell or throw away? I'm sure alot of posts here will be the cheap chinese stock ones, but I hope we get some posts about name brand expen$ive pick ups too.

Even the EMG haters are welcome to post here

Sup guys.

I recently made some upgrades to my Razorback V, which includes a an original floyd rose.

Long story short, the back plate that covers the back no longer fits because the floyd block is too big and it sticks out a little bit.

What can I do? Can I get one made from someone on the forums or something?

I need one because when I play standing up, my stomach hits the springs in the back sometimes, causing a change in pitch. Thus, making my guitar sound like Stevie Wonder tuned it.

i just saw some of the footage of the (what was to be) upcoming micheal jackson tour. would have sworn that i saw jennifer tearing up a les paul.

i always thought she was a great player. and i loved her hair back in the day. she even did the "beat it" solo with fiber optic hair.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuF_90HXdNA

yeah,she kinda biffed it,but she can smoke compared to most of us here.

Anyone here have one /played one....Thoughts on them? I am out for a new amp

my marshall kerry king and the engl powerball have built in noise gates(after the preamp section). so even when i crank them up past 5-6,they remain dead nutz silent. there is no need for a gate in the loop. this is good,as the marshall does not even have a loop. these amps are as quiet on standby as when they are on.

my isp theta head has a built in decimater,but i dont like the tone i have gotten out of it so far(though i havent tried much).

the framus dragon is pretty quiet,as i can recall. so is the laboga mr.hector. but they still hiss a little.

most of my other heads hiss badly,as do most high gain heads. the randall x2 is the worst offender,followed by the framus cobra,and the madison prophecy.

obviously,this is not so much of a problem when playing in a band at rehearsal or in a live situation,as there is a lot of ambient noise going on all over the place(hiss from the p.a.,drummers whacking away while trying to talk to each other, girlfriends whining they want to go shopping,etc.). but i am playing in a tight,quiet room with padded walls(to muffle the screams of the women i keep bound and gagged there).

when i hook up any other heads,i am taken aback by the noise. i am sure that it didnt bother me before. but i am spoiled now.

and i hate using the loop all the time. i would only like to use it for effects like delay or verb and such,so you could both boost and effect the solo section with one click. yes,i could get a rack with a ground controller,and program everything like some sort of nasa scientist,but i let the rack thing go years ago for the simplicity of guitar/pedal/amp thing.

in a way,you guys using a distortion pedal,then a gate into the clean channel of an amp have it easy in this respect.

anyway,i wish more high gain amps came with built in gates after the preamp section. maybe assignable so they click off when the effects loop was engaged. rant over.

Didn't know if you guys knew that Dime played the solo on Voodoo from King Diamond back in 98' on the Voodoo album. Just a little Dime history for those who didn't know.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq0xhBAUy-0

matt heafys new 7 explorer, quite like it, would have rather had his old dean star still though.

whats everyones veiw on it?

yay or nay?

I am really having some serious gas for a guitar with a cherry sunburst finish so everyone post pics of any guitar with a cherry sunburst finish.

I've looked on Google and couldn't find anything so I was hoping you guys knew of some pics.

how is the floyd rose on it ive played the guitar but never got time to use the floyd completely im getting the guitar next week and i just would like to know how well it holds up from abuse

As some of you know i had my ultimate new guitar day 2 days ago when my jackson dominion arrived. Well today in the wee hours of the morning ups delivered this to complement my jackson.


You can get a really nice LOG tone with these settings

My current rig of doom, subject to change


Ill post clips later. Ive never been happier with an amp right out of the box more so than with the bugera 6262. It has more clarity than the fireball, more umph than the 5150, and for 650 shipped new?!?!?!?! I think we have found a winner.

I wanted to try and find out what do I need to do for the Dean guitars model search? My girlfriend wanted to try out and in my oppinion she really does have a great chance to win. Im not trying to brag. I just wondered if anyone knew any info about the contest. Thanks guys.

Seriously. Fauk F chords. I know it's just a barre chord, but god damnit! My fingers are all "HAHA! YOU CAN'T DO IT!" and I'm all "WHAT THE HELL?! IT'S NOT THAT HARD! JUST PLAY AN E A HALF STEP UP! OMGOGOGMOGMOGM FAUK YEW FINGERS!"

I'm not the best guitar player ever anyways... having played bass for a long time, and only recently really started trying playing guitar past power chords and noodling.

But seriously... fauk F chords. And all the other barre chords. >.>

Also, turns out new strings make chording easier. Did you guys know that? I didn't. Same brand and guage and everything... wacky.

Got the "Studio UX 1" with "Pod Farm".

And there is no single source where people share some configuration/hardware combinations.

If you have any good amp/effect/noise gate combinations or something like that; please share them.

Has someone figured out a Dime tone?
(I'm still new to this mass of options)

I changed some settings (small room wasn't available so I went with medium hall) cause I first need an upgrade and I also changed the hall (371 to 290).
So it's not the original configuration.
Hope that's okay(at the moment).

I need to learn some thrash metal that isn't Metallica. I can play about half their catalog. Maybe CoB isn't quite thrash, but oh well...

Happy Independence Day my fellow guitar peeps.Anybody gonna play the star spangled banner today?

Come and give me some comments and ratings please....

Thanks bro's... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jF5NIkdAUNQ

are they still makeing the Nick Catanese guitars? They still have them on their site.

yeah yeah, there was a thread about em a while ago.
but my question is, where are they made? are their electrics and acoustics made in korea? china? where?
what tuners are they using? one video said its grover. some pictures show them having no name what so ever.

also, do you have their acoustic guitars? post em here. i know a member here has the trinity guitar with the white bands instead of rosewood. that was bought in 2006 if i'm not mistaken.

and lanning has an electric apollo, or had it.

i'm thinking of selling my acoustic, and getting a trinity parlor, or something...

heya all! after wailing on my angel of deth and loving her the last week, i started getting the Dean bug! at the local music chain store here they have a Razorback Explosion thats been hanging for at least 6 months, so today i decided to pull her down and give her a test drive.

First thing i noticed is the price, its close to the same league as my VMNT, so im expecting quality since my V is pristine. I take her into the dark lit amp room and plug it into the same amp i own at home....give her a wail, sounds good im starting to fall in love again! hit the floyd, it feels smooth, nice low action decent pickups....hey this is cool!

Then....i took her out to the guitar area which is brightly lit, and start looking her over. I got a picky eye...finish looks good, check the horns and no chips at all. THEN, i get to the neck. right away i notice the black binding is cracked on at least half of the frets all the way down, on top AND the bottom! and not little cracks, like right thru the whole piece of binding cracks!! So in shock i look where the neck meets the body, and the finish is cracked again , 2 inch long cracks or so on either side in the black finish!! Like the neck is breaking outta the body!

SO again i look for any evidence of a bad fall or something and i dont see any clues to damage. like really all these cracks look like as if the neck wood dried too fast or something and just split everything. AND now im worried bout my VMNT, please tell me that isnt the case hehe.

SO all in all i wanted to hear yer proffesional opinions because i might be able to score a decent deal on it if i convince the guitar guy at the store how delapitated it is, but is it worth it? and is it fixable? a deal is a deal but it would drive me nuts after a while, id wanna look at fixing it. so should i bother or should i just forget about it and carry on loving my VMNT

Thanks!

"cheers"

THIS guitar.

hey can anyone explain to me what regeneration on a flanger does? I'm making my own and have no idea what regen is .

Cheers, Toby

so ive been looking for a new amp for a while now, because at the moment i have a crate amp which sounds awful.

i play mostly thrash and metalcore, thats the kinda tone i want.

ive been looking at valvekings mostly (the 112 amp) ive done a lot of forum searches and it seems that the valvekings dont have enough gain.

i dont mind buying a tube screamer or other pedal like that to get a better tone out of the VK

my budget is around £400 which is like $700 i think. im open to other amp suggestions or pedals suggestions to go along with the VK

It is indeed a glorious day, I'm finally in the position to get a few new amps.

I'm going to need one for the dorm and I'm gonna have one for the house,I figured I'd go blackstar for the house being that I'm horribly petrified of my mother and I rather have the cheaper amp at home just in case one day she decides she's Barry Bonds and wants to hit a higher batting percentage.

So that leaves the 333xl and the 6260......

Now apparently these amps were made for broke chumps like me,I can't go over 6bills for a amp head and BONG!I discovered two heads that are highly praised and will still permit me to be awfully obnoxious to all other inhabitants on the floor,so once again I turn to my brothers(and apparently sisters) on the forum and ask for advice.

Pros&Cons for both amps and any other heads you reccommend for under 6bills.
ANDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD GO!

Does anybody have a Pantera Behind the Music on his pc? I don't want any YT videos or something like that.
Any download link please?

I hear talk of people flipping pickups like darrell did with his L500Xl's and I was wondering if it sounds better. Anyone know about this?

Well i was looking for a small battery powered amp. So many forum

members recommended the Roland micro cube.I bought one on sale

at guitar center for under a 100 and i love it!!I am amazed how good

it sounds for what it is!!Great little amp thanks!!

Les Paul of some sort? Post up some pics and discuss them. I'm thinking of getting one.

if so, RIP George and thank you for your contributions to the world of electric guitars.

what amp heads do you guys recomend around $300 pricerange?

one I was looking at was the

http://www.guitarcenter.com/Ibanez-TBX150H-Tone-Blaster-Xtreme-Guitar-Amp-Head-480946-i1172859.gc

any recomendations?

thanks

p.s i'm back from south carolina

Bought myself a new DigiCam today. Decided to give it a run through with some new pr0n!

My 1st guitar (currently stringless )


A couple o'Strats


USA Strat - Full frontal


Body shot (SD Pickups and Wilkinson Convertible Trem)





The lighting sucks I know, but otherwise it all looks pretty cool.

9.2 megapixel for £80 = win.

Enjoy

Is possibly going to get me laid tonite so uhm-THANKS LANNING!!

OK. I'm not well off financially, but I have to get a cabinet. The douchbeags at GC kept pointng me to a used B52. I'm not lookin for a 1960a. I need a reliable cabinet. My head is a Marshall AVT50(don't laugh Fu**ers). I like it. The cabs got to be $400 or less. I saw a Bugera at GC today for $269 but I got more pissed being there than anything.

ive been very interested in getting a dean stealth snake skin after i pickup my shadow next week but ive been looking around for one and most websites say discontinued or they only have 2 or 3 left did dean only do a limited run on stealths? oh and if anyone has a stealth snake skin i would love to see them

Can someone post the settings for a really good clean and a lead tone that doesn't pick up every time you barely touch a string

I've been trying to sell a guitar on ebay I'm not quite sure if the guy is trying to scam me or not? He says due to his location he cant use ebay, so I'm not exactly sure if this is the truth or not or if he's just trying to scam me.

heres the convo

any oppinions or help would be most appreciated.

went to see Goatwhore on Thursday, 7/2 and BOTH Sammy & Nathan were rocking Deans - pretty crazy considering they have been playinng Mosers for quite some time. not sure what Nathan was playing - some kind of ML Bass. what was most shocking was the guitar Sammy was playing.....he had a BLACK TOOTH REBEL folks - it was crazy! sorry, no pix - didn't have my camera on me.

Stopped by Guitar Center this weekend to do a little window shopping and found out they were having a big sale for the 4th of July. Then I came across this:

They also are carrying ESP's now (in case you care).

I just got this email. Funny thing is, in my add I expained all the details about what Im selling including the price and everything. The guy seems to talk in the same way as in the other thread. Beware people are doing whatever it takes to get your stuff and scam you out of the money.

i am down to 2 amps either a bugera 333xl or a dime i aint heard the dime other than the you tube which wasnt that great of quality but what i did hear didnt sound bad which BRG has a good price on the dime just wondering how good it is

your thoughts

Ooooh, I'm such a biatch...

Ok so LIstening to Sepultura's "Territory"... at the end of the lead when he's doing the tapping. Is there an effect on it or is it just the way he's playing it that makes it sound like that?

GO!

I'm thinking about getting a baby ML or baby Z.

Does anyone here own one.What do you guys think about the guitars.

i've heard things about GFS and Tom Anderson and all this but... anyone know of anything decent out there that's reasonably priced?

I heard from someone that that Dean has stopped making these.

Is this true?

If so that sucks because I was planning on saving to get one.

Is something wrong? I got e-mail that my product would be sent on July 2, 2009 but they haven't even picked it up yet? (estimated shipping to destination: 5-10 days). Has anyone gotten the same problem recently?

I'm selling my guitars to purchase some new ones. I'm looking for one main guitar and one guitar to have as a back-up/practice guitar. I've been looking around and I'm definitely looking at buying a type of guitar that somehow makes me feel like I'm back in time. My music style stretches far and wide but mostly I play heavy metal (in the band, that is). While I stretch from old school hard rock and 80's heavy/thrash metal to modern metal and melodeath, I still like a vintage sound in terms of warmth, hotness crunch, etc. Hence my liking for Seymour Duncans and Marshalls.

I'm kind of set on buying a used white Gibson Explorer and an Epiphone Flying V. But I'm kind of hesitating because there is a part of me that wants a Dean. Despite having heard nuemrous claims that Dean guitars lack quality, aren't good anymore, are overpriced, etc. I'm still desiring one.

Uhh yeah, so... Razorback, Razorback V, ML or normal V is what I'm looking at. I'm also trying to not put don more than like, 1000 bucks or something... and I know that probably excludes all Razorbacks...

but yeah, anyone got any ideas on what to buy?

Today I went with GourmetGyno to Springfield, Illinois. We were out putting up flyers in hopes to find a singer for our band, as we don't want do do it ourselves anymore.

We happened to go into a store that had a used Dean Evo for $899. It had a sparkly silver top with black back and sides. The neck was phenomenal.

I didn't have a camera with me or I'd have snapped a picture. I've never seen this color on an Evo and it looked really old. The serial number started with "D." However, it didn't say where it was made.

Does anyone know what this is and if it is a rarity?

I tried the search function but nothing came up that could clearly answer my question... so here it goes, can someone post up the different headstocks Dean makes.... ex: Series II, Searies III etc...
I want to know the main difference in all of them...

thanks.

Joe

Rikard Stjernquist (Jag Panzer, Body of Scars) will be doing some drumming for Dave Ellefson's band F5 for some gigs. They've got a Summer NAMM gig coming up in Nashville.

If you are in, or ever were in Megadeth, just call me and I can provide you with band members.

This gig doesn't affect anything else Rikard is doing. No, he's not leaving Jag Panzer.

I have Been looking at a compressor.Just want to know what they do

I ordered my new head from them.

Just wondering why it's taken well over 24 hours to process an "in stock" item.

I paid an extra $34 for quicker shipping, and it hasn't even been processed!


I know I'm being somewhat impatient, but I don't have a usable head right now and I have to start tracking guitar for our EP in a week. I need time to dial in a proper recording tone.

well i was thinking that if i had the money, i'd buy a portible power
generator. you know to jam at the park or at the beach or at a place
that doesnt have wall outputs

my question is; would it be safe to use with my amp and other equipment?
would it be smart to use a power conditioner with it? how are they grounded?
and how long does a tank of gas last generators?

sorry if this is a below 70 IQ type question but i was wondering so i dont fry my stuff if i do get one

heres the one i had in mind

I cannot wait for this album!!

About a year ago I founded this guitar maker...and WOW I love his guitars!!!!!
How about those woods?
http://negriniguitars.com/

Tell me if you also like them...

whats he using with his marshalls? pedals?rack stuff??

i have a pretty bad chip on my rhoads v its on teh wing what is the best wat to fix it. it happened while i was walking around my little cell of a room.

I was planning on going to this show here on 7/9 - was looking at some stuff online - the time it starts, etc. I noticed it does not appear Suffocation is listed as one of the acts anymore. They were one of the main reasons I wanted to hit this show. Has anyone gone to this? If so, did Suffocation play?

What exactly is Wolf guitars? I found an interesting Explorer for CHEAP, only I haven't heard of Wolf guitars, ever.

I'm guessing some of you might not like this, but what the hell, I love it!

Its a USA Washburn Preacher PS5. The Preacher is Paul Stanley's signature model.

This guitar sounds better and sustains longer than any other guitar I've ever played. If you hold a note or a chord, it just goes on and on and on.......It really does sound brilliant.

The colour is called "racing red", and it was really hard to photograph (especially considering all I have to take pictures with is my phone camera), and the guitar just kept coming out orange in the pics. This was the best I could do, but it looks awesome in person, the colour really pops and stands out from my other guitars.

Anyways, PRON!





The two USA's

I've read where things like this have happened to a couple people.

Check this:

I order a Randall V2 Archetype head. Says it's IN STOCK. I pay $34 extra for faster shipping so that I get it in time to record with it.

So far so good.

They take the money off my card within 12 hours. So I assume that means things are going smoothly and it'll get shipped that night or the next morning. NOPE.

After emailing with a guy named Tyler for a couple days about other stuff and about getting a cab from them soon as well; I get this email:

"Arick,

I will check with Randall about the cab and let you know. I also want to
make you aware that there is a 45 day lead time for the Randall V2
Archetype head. Let us know if this will not work for you.

Thanks,

Tyler"

...

Hell no that will not work for me! Is he out of his mind?

So now I told him no it won't work. He sent me another email that simply said, "okay, I'll make sure your order gets canceled soon then."

They better refund that money just as quickly, if not quicker than they took it.



DON'T PUT "IN STOCK" IF IT ISN'T!

I am UNEMPLOYED. The Mother company for which owned the one I work for closed their doors this morning. I don't have all the details yet just that I am out of a job for now. Guess the bad economy hits Texas now. Keep me and my Family in your thoughts and prayers. I have Faith that something good will come from this.

EMG 81 in the bridge.

I'm so excited! I just got 2 new pedals! I got the Dimebag Crybaby and the Whammy 4. I've been saving for so long to get these two pedals! Anyone have these? Any cool tricks?

One of my favorite players and an amazing person.

What should i buy for 100 dollars?????Guitar related.

well...not mine...but this is just epic!

the story:

Quote:

Full Story: http://www.davecarrollmusic.com/story... - In the spring of 2008, Sons of Maxwell were traveling to Nebraska for a one-week tour and my Taylor guitar was witnessed being thrown by United Airlines baggage handlers in Chicago. I discovered later that the $3500 guitar was severely damaged. They didnt deny the experience occurred but for nine months the various people I communicated with put the responsibility for dealing with the damage on everyone other than themselves and finally said they would do nothing to compensate me for my loss. So I promised the last person to finally say no to compensation (Ms. Irlweg) that I would write and produce three songs about my experience with United Airlines and make videos for each to be viewed online by anyone in the world. United: Song 1 is the first of those songs. United: Song 2 has been written and video production is underway. United: Song 3 is coming. I promise.

I was watching the Dimebag clinic on youtube and a guy asked Dime how he warmed up. Dime started doing these crazy fast trills. Can anyone do em that fast and if so how'd you learn?

Looking into affordable halfstacks. Anyone have any experience with the randall kh 120rhs or rx120rhs?

Pretty good song.... can't wait to hear the whole thing.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/headcrusher

this is my first time i will be installing blackouts in my split tail any advice tips

So i'm looking into getting my first half-stack and i'm real excited about it. But i'm not excited about the price of a half stack. I was looking for a randall when I found out that some online dealers are selling crates cabs for 140.00$. If I put a randall head on a cab like that would it sound good at all or even work?

How'd you miss this one?



I should have it in hand tomorrow. Hopefully I can get more pics posted before I head off to the beach on Friday!

Hit my myspace up www.myspace.com/dropdtrix and listen to the Album sampler..

Then let 'em rip... Cuss me out if ya need to but I wan't honest opinions. This is only a peek at the plethora of material i'm sitting on.

Who's feeling it??


here's video of the sampler:

Hi guys.

Im in need of a 24 fret neck for a KE3 Kelly project im doing, and ive found these: but im guessing there not too great?

Anyone know much about them?


Also, if anyone else has soemthign better or any other ideas, pleaase note it needs to be shipped to New Zealand. Soo... Yeah.

Cheers

This is most likely old news but.. Damn did these guys rip Dean off..



Its a Halo Hellion i believe... Pretty good copy. Actually is kinda cool..

Well i'm not sure which section this thread should be in so i'll just put in here.

I'm looking to build my own little guitar rig but i'm not sure about any pedals/ stompboxes/ effects processors or pretty much anything that I could use. Any ideas?


Thanks.

ME I have 2 dream guitars both DEAN's

1:Leslie West 40th Anniversary.love the L.W. peace sign very deep inlay work watched them make one at D.O.A. 2009.

2:EVO Exotic Burl .Something about that wood the gold hardware inlays.

Does anyone have any avenue I should try to find a singer for my band. We're in the Symphony X, Dream Theater, Kamelot type music and need a good singer.

However, we either run into guys that go "Grrr," or "Bwaaah," or they think they can sing, but are completely tone deaf.

I've tried Myspace, Craigslist, BandMix.com and putting flyers in every music shop within 50 miles of us.

Does anyone else have any idea of how to find a real singer? Does nobody actually sing anymore?

In the 80's there were singers everywhere......................

Anyone out there have any experience with guitars like the Ovation VXT or Taylor T5? Custom made in the USA they look like great quality, I was just wondering about tone, weight and acoustic value... I wanted a Chet Atkins Gibby for a while but it felt dead to me and very little acoustic value.

I just heard this band on Sirius radio Liquid Metal and was wondering if anyone else was a fan. They seem really unique to me, really groovy and kinda rock n roll-ish. This didn't seem like it would really be my style at first, but I am really diggin them.

http://www.last.fm/music/Volbeat?autostart=1

I was just thinking does anyone got anything good (or bad) ro say about this Epi, it might be part of an exchange...

Some mouths say Epiphone guitars beats their more expensive counterparts...

... scraped the 'Electron Blue' colour that they had put on their MIM guitars. They have replaced it with some shizz called 'Lake Placid Blue'.

Im kinda digging it!


Also, on an im-not-gonna-start-2-threads-in-1-night attempt. Does anyone know if stratocasters can do metal? Cause i have mega GAS for this, i want something to give me some hendrix style lead style shizz, and if i get

http://www.musicstreet.co.uk/fender-standard-stratocaster-lake-placid-bluemaple-p-2970.html?currency=GBP

and put an x2n or something in it, would it be good for hard rock/ metal (not 2 steps down, palm muting shizz).

Ok, I have heard a lot about mids in terms of amp settings but I do not know what this really means. What is it? What would be an example for scooped mids (settings; treble, bass, mid)? Sorry if this is an ignorant or stupid question but I don't know. Thanks!

I was looking at randall 4x12 cabs and I noticed that the dealer was also selling randall cabs that were 2x12 and 1x15 in the same cab. The cab with the 12's and the 15 in it cost 120 dollars more than the 4x12 cab. Is a cab with 2x12's and 1x15 in the same cab better? Explanation would be much appreciated!

do you guys prefer old or new cannibal corpse. To be specific old cannibal corpse is like 90's and new cannibal corpse is from 2000 to evisceration plague.

hey guys, looking for some help from the experts here. i'm looking to get into some woodworking and am looking for suggestions on a cheap but decent router to buy. i've never used a router so i don't know what qualities to look for or what brands.

thanks.

Hey Guy´s,

I got offered a USA Vintage Dean ML TBZ Standard here in Europe, but the price is kinda ridiculous high..he wants 3460$ for it and it´s worn down on the wood on the back and worn trough the finish on the front between the two last strings. The neckpickupring is a little warped too.

It´s the one with the replaced TC neck and so it´s no longer an all original.
This guitar is my alltimefavourite guitar and I really want it baaad!!!
I already sold my Washburn dime 3 blackjack and my other dean ml for it!!!
I have to have this GAWDDAMN beauty!!!
Uncle Diamond needs your help!

Dudes, we just need to make a damn Guitar Center Horror Stories section already hahaha. So I go to GC with a print out for 3 sets of 10 gauge DR. Black Beauties $8.00 a piece (10.99 in the store). I give it to accessory girl and decide I want to get Dean Markley Alchemy strings. I found what they had to offer then went to use their "find it cheaper" computer and found them for 8.95 on StringsAndThings.com (12.95 at the GC I was at). Well I go tell her, she looks it up, then tells me I will also have to pay the shipping and handling the site was charging. I asked her if that was written in their policy and she told me it was. I went back to their "find it cheaper" computer and read the policy twice over. No where was it stated that you have to pay the shipping charge from the site that is being price matched. I went back to the girl and told her it wasnt in the policy and if she could show me in writing I would pay the difference. She says I can talk to the manager.

The managaer comes over, the accessory girl explains the situation and the manager starts to tell me that I should have to pay the shipping charge because the site doesnt charge any tax. I say "listen dude, I didn't ask you guys why I should have to pay the shipping, I asked you to show me the policy in writing and I wont have any problem paying." He finally says well maybe its not in the policy but thats how they tell us to do it here. Well they did end up selling me the DR. strings for $8.00 a pack because the site I found them on only shows shipping charges if you actually buy them but wouldn't sell me the Alchemy strings for the $8.95. When I worked at Sam Ash we price matched for advertised price ONLY. Im pretty sure they try to pull that crap so they don't loose their commission. I know it sucks but I had bitten the bullet in sales plenty of times and not tried to make some wack rules because hey, the people I did help out came and bought from me anyway. They became my customers and I made alot more then if I tried to make an extra dollar on commission from not hooking them up on a sale. GC sucks, end rant!

Alright, so my Randall V2 Ninja will be here on Friday, and I can't wait!

However... my Line 6 Vetta cab (300 watt handling) is finally starting to give way after 4 years of an HD147, followed by a Peavey 6505+.

I play in drop B, I use Dimarzio Super Distortions and EMGs.

I'm looking for a cab that will help out with a very heavy tone. Something that can handle "chug chug" riffs, but can also compliment a nice clean tone and project those "big choruses".


If I could find a Warhead 4x12 for a good price, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

But I don't see those poppin' up too often.

This idea came up a while ago to have a betcha can't play this on the forum but I think only one person put up a video. I thought it could be really interesting but it never really started. So here, I'm not really that good but i still betcha can't play this
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qieXGwz2Lk&layer_token=6d083199d237efc3

I know someone here can play something harder than that.
Post the harx stuff you can do people!

I have been self teaching myself through books like I'm sure many of you do as well. So my question to you is, which do you find faster and more effective

Economy or Alternate picking?

Honestly I always thought I did alternate, but looking at myself and trying to do some of the exercises in this book the way they are taught, Alternate seems inefficient and kinda the road map to the faster economy picking.

Found this on another forum, thought i'd share

I've been royally screwed and if any of y'all happen to be lawyers or just really smart in the legal sense, please let me know.
This is guitar related because it has to do with a guitar store card.

About a year and a half ago I got a store card for a guitar store. I want to note that I hold nothing against the store, as they're great. My anger is with G.E. Money Bank, the card issuer.

I've bought quite a few things on this card and then paid them off......then bought more. My credit is, now probably was excellent.

In my company this past year, there started rumors about layoffs, due to the cut back in work and loss of all overtime. So, when I was on the phone with G.E. Money Bank to try to fix a late fee that resulted in their computer screw up, I was told about an opt in program that erases my entire account balance in case of involuntary job loss. I opted in in case the rumors in my company were true. This was in the past November.

As luck would have it, later on in the month, they started laying people off based on seniority. I made it until February 27th. After I got let go, I called G.E. Money bank to initiate the unemployement insurance that I had paid the extra money for. They told me at that point that I had to be off for at least 90 days before I can do this. So, I was frustrated, but waited the 90 days and called back.

The guy on the phone told me "Sorry to hear about your job loss, sir. I've initiated your benefit on this. Please make your final payment this month and everything after that will be taken care of. You're an excellent customer and we hope to do business with you again after you regain your job."

I was happy, as a $1200 bill was just taken care of. About a month ago, I got a call from them to tell me that I was late on my payment and they wanted it right then. Obviously, I'm unemployed and didn't have it, as I'm barely getting by. The guy on the phone said that the benefit had not kicked in yet and said this would probably now be my last payment. Instead of renewing my liscense plates on my truck, I used the money to save my credit score and paid $63 dollars.

Now, I get another call about the same thing. I was really mad and had them transfer me to a person to talk about this. They told me that I was denied the benefit about a month ago because I had not had the unemployment insurance on my account long enough to initiate it. What sucks even more is that I was not notified in any way that I was denied! So, I had late fees jumping up on me.

Not only this, but at the beginning in July, I was NAILED with promotional payoff charges and now the bill is over $2,100! It was supposed to be cleared at the end of May, and to my knowledge was. If I'd have known this was going to happen, I'd have used my income tax return to pay this card way down instead of paying off my Best Buy card and Guitar Center card. I had about a year on each of those to pay without intrest.

Do you play sitting down or standing up? If both, which one do you use more or which is your preferred way?

Who do you think of?

I'm going to be honest, I can't think of a single metal player with tone I like. I like a real round tone. I LIKE mids. I heard Joe Bonamasa say that people turn down mids because they show off all the mistakes in your playing. So I absolutely love a bluesy tone.

My top 5 awesome toners are...
1) Angus Young

2) Joe Banamasa

3) Slash

4) BB King

When's the date for summer NAMM, or has it already happened?

Do you think Dean will release/ did Dean release anything new and exciting?

On the Pod tonefarm units how do you make upgrades work and how do you register products. I bought a package with more amp models for my unit but line 6 monkey won't find my updates and says I need to register my hardware. How do I make this work?

Is it really THAT difficult? FedEx does it just fine, on every single shipment I've ever gotten through them.

Here's what I've had since 9:52pm EST on Tuesday.

I mean c'mon, really? I KNOW it's made it somewhere else by now. This happens 7/10 times I receive something through UPS. And sometimes I call them just to see if someone will update me verbally. But it's always just a, "I'm sorry, sir. I can't give you the details, but it is on time!"


I like to know where my stuff is.

the more I think about it all I want to do is change the black hardware ,pup mounts,and bridge pup.

As to the hardware and pup mounts.

Chrome or Gold which do you dudes think.

ok everybody. I have a problem. I owe my parents around sixty bucks. I will probably get that paid off by the end of summer but I am really wanting a new guitar especially something from either dean, esp, or ibanez. it will take me a long long long time to save up a lot of money so can I get your suggestions on guitars in the 500-600 dollar price range that are worth buying? Thanks.

Has there ever been a lefty limited run? its just my curiousity that forced me to ask this question

Is this something that can be done without experience?

If not, where would I look to find someone who can do it?



My Randall V2 Ninja is coming in tomorrow (hopefully). And while I do really like the way it looks, I think it would look much better if the tolex was black.

anyone know of a good shop that can fix a warped neck and do a re-fret? I'm looking for someone in the midwest.

I live in ND so i'd prefer to not ship it half way across the country, cause most of the shops i found on google were either east or west coast.

Any info would be much appreciated guys. thanks.

75-100 watt NON-MODELLING combo's? I personally hatet modelling amps, and thats all the local store sells, so i want to check out some other amps on the Internet

Well I got a Bare Knuckles VHII in the bridge and a Seymour Duncan Alnico II in the neck of my EC-400. I have to say theyre really quite impressive. They dont have quite as much gain as the EMG's but theyre so much more clear. The VHII is kind of quacky when on clean settings but on the distortion channel sounds great. I can pull off metal quite well with them. The Alnico II is just great all around the board. The cleans are fantastic and on distortion it just sounds so round and clear. Im def gonna be playing these for a while. Maybe Ill try to get some sound clips for you guys.

Im very impressed its a real player.Quality is better than ever.

So apparently Ozzy wants new guitarist. Which I have mixed feelings on this.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=123387

Anybody know what effects he uses or how to get his tone?

I just got off the phone, and I've ordered one Spark Plug, Bullet Cable, and one coiled bullet cable from Steve at BRG Music.
He was very helpful, and a pleasure to do business with.

Now I wait..........

Every Dean guitar i see has a graphic on it...arent u guys tired of graphic guitars??

i mean cumon y not leave them a black or Prussian blue finish.. no more graphics but only a simple gloss finish.. (not even those trans finishes with those GOLDARN' flamed maple tops)...

i mean my eyes hurt now when i see graphic guitars!

sorry for the yelling but im honestly tired of graphic guitars..

I know you dudes are tired of me singing these guys praises.

But I don't know how they do it.
there prices are great as is the guitars.

I just got a Baby ML for $114.95 shipped.
I got an ML XM about 2 months ago for $79.95 brought to my door by a store staff member.I live in Tampa 22 miles from there store here.

I see guys here wanting nice guitar cheap I was just looking at a Camo Vendetta with Floyd $194.00 heck the Floyd cost damn near that much.

SO Check them out if you need a great Dean guitar.
There on eBay .

OK so I've always played blue dunlop tortex picks, I just love the feel of the tortex. But I've always wanted to play a tiny little jazz pick they just felt so nice.

Then last week I was in a guitar store trying out this guitar but I didn't have a pick so I asked the guy if he had one I could borrow, he said sure, and handed me this Dunlop tortex jazz pick in 1mm and everything. It was black but I didn't care. I was like dude this pick is awesome (the guitar not so much) I asked him for four sets of those, and he was like, we don't carry them but you can get them from musicians friend.

So I get home and go straight to musicians friend. I find these and I think they are the same one's...

http://accessories.musiciansfriend.com/product/Dunlop-Tortex-Pitch-Black-Jazz-Guitar-Picks-1-Dozen?sku=111003

So I order four sets in 1mm

Now fast forward to today. I was cutting the grass and the UPS man walks up with a box (I ordered more than just picks) and puts it on my back porch. I finish with the grass and come in to check out my new picks, but they are the same freakin thing as my old blue one's. These are just Black and say Jazz on the pack. They aren't even pointy. to top it off they only sent me three packs when it says on the order receipt they send out that I ordered four.

Anyway can you guys please help me. I want a small pointy Jazz pick with the tortex feel. But i don't know what to order.

I feel bad, but I laughed my ass off.

I have been looking at Razorback Vs today and trying to figure out which one I like the best.

Right now my favorite is the White w/ Black Bevels.

Which finish is your favorite on the Razor V?

Randall V2 Ninja 400 Watt Hybrid

I absolutely LOVE this thing. This is the exact tone I've been searching for. And might I add, it's built like a tank.



Now, I will say that yes, it does have a pretty ridiculous amount of noise/feedback. But nothing that an ISP Decimator G String shouldn't be able to tame.


I will also say that I actually prefer the Solid State overdrive. With the push/pull boost engaged, the graphic EQ on, and the Gain around 7 or so (no numbers, I'm just guessing), Bass around 4, Mids around 7 and treble around 6, it's just perfect.

I thought I'd treat myself. I got this at such a good deal that I couldn't pass it up.

2003 Gibson SG Standard

Just like it says do they plek there guitars?
Maybe the USA's?

EDIT: for those who don't know...

Dean has exploded recently with all the Dimebag geets that came out but what in the world....Only one real Stealth? The SnakeSkin is really nice but as we all know here at the forums we really need more stealths to choose from. I dont even count the unfloyded stealth. So please chime in and support the push for more stealths.

Oh and I realize this may be beating the dead horse but I still cant see more Dean stealths coming.

Hey guys I'm changing my style to fit the scene where I live and am in need of some Cowboy type western songs that are available on GuitarPro for easy learning. If you know the name of a good western song please post it for me as I need ideas. The artist name would help too.

All the best,
Billy

do cables really make a difference?
i play the cheap ones from GC and aside from the fact the you have to keep replacing them can people tell the difference?
alot of people make a big deal of monster cable but is it work paying like $30 for maybe 12 ft?
what cable do you think are the best for the price?
the reason im asking this is my cable is going bad again
what would you recommend? it has to sound good and be fairly cheap and not break in a few months.

This is listed on ebay as "fair" condition. BWAHAHAHA.

I've got to take a trip to Ft Leavenworth Ks for a class, leave Bragg tomorrow morning. Anyway, I've got a deal lined up on a Razorback. Looks to be in good shape and it's a good deal!

Wish me luck.

There have been plenty of debates over the Flying V vs. Stratocaster. As far as humbucking guitars go however, the V and the Les Paul are arguably the most iconic. So which one is everyones fave?

Pros? Cons?

Tone? Appearance? Playability?

And...go.

Some below 70 IQ type asses decided it would be cool to take Zakk's gera out of its cases and pose with them, without his permission. they took soem good pictures but thats really stupid of them.

I've been using my boss NS-2 right in front of my signal But as I start to play bigger places I'm noticing it's not getting the job done. It's not getting rid of any of the feedback caused by the amp. Someone told me to put it in the effects loop, will this help?

As always Thanks in advance for all the help.

WHen it turn my line 6 up has a bad sound.How can i fix that.By bad sound it just gets to bassy.

Hey guys, so I am thinking about buying my first 7 string guitar. As this is my first 7 string guitar I don't want to spend a bunch of money and in the end find out I would of been happier with say a Baritone or something. So I am looking for recommendations for a good 7 string that isn't too much money. Did some google searches and some people said the Ibanez RG7321 is a good starter 7 string.

I don't care too much about the pickups because they can always be upgraded later if I really end up liking the guitar.

I play metal and would like to stay around the $500 CAN mark or around the cost of the Ibanez RG7321 (which I found for $525 CAN).

Krimh rocks out on his Ibanez RG7321: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGHW-AzHHgs&feature=related

With my 30th B-day a couple weeks away, I decided to get an early present for myself. An 05 Gibson Explorer with a JB in the bridge. GC had a good deal on this one that I couldn't pass up. The JB is alright, but I have an Anderson HN3+ "flamethrower" that I've been waiting to use. It needs a little fine tuning on the setup, but I've been having a lot of fun playing some Metallica covers on it. I already wrote a song with it even . We all know what an Explorer looks like so I'm not gonna post a ton o pron.



And a family shot for $hits and giggles

I'm gassing SUPER hard for the flame 2nd Generation BC Rich KKV, so I'm wondering how much do you think my dimeslime is worth.

Anyone know when the models that were shown at NAMM will be released for purchase?

Yes I did use google...didn't help

Yes, we've had these threads before, but dammit we'll have them again! Just a foreword, I don't want this thread to descend into another bashfest, it should simply be sharing and commenting on ideas with no malicious intent towards each other or each other's ideas.

So's anyway, what would you like to see Dean doing?
Personally I'd love to see something like a dedicated Shred Series, a range of V's, ML's and Z's with a much slimmer neck profile, perhaps similar to the VMNT necks. I'd like to see them with a range of options such as:
- Choice of fretboard wood: Rosewood, maple, ebony
- Option of trem/non-trem
- H - H/H - H/S/S - H/S/H configurations
- Some nice solid colour paint schemes
- Possibly the option of 24 frets
- Dean pickups like the Baker Act in all of them

I think that something like that would give Dean a good boot in the arse where it's needed, extend the classic Dean shape range out a bit and offer a hand to players who like the shape but don't like the particular options or whatever.

Anyway, away you go - what would you like to see? And remember, please play nice kids!!

I am just curious did anyone pre order one?or heard anything more about them?

Finally found a review/comparison of a Marshall Plexi (late 80s 1959) vs the Bugera 1960 Plexi clone. Another thing he didn't point out was that by purist standards, the JCM800 1959 is relatively frowned upon, for some reason. I kinda miss mine, though it was modded all to hell. Anyway, here goes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3Sh3gjwaIg&feature=channel

I think the Marshall kills it. Better tubes might help, but the Marshall has a thick, beefy midrange that the Bugera seems to lack. The Bugera sounds...fizzy...

nevermind I'll go with this one

and what is that guitar? bc rich maybe? me like

i dig it

Just this I've had my Baby ML since Friday.

If your a like Dean's and don't have one of the Babies get one.
If you have the cash get a USA .

But get one this is a great guitar not a mini guitar but a guitar.

The only difference between the baby and the ML X I have is the body size.

The neck the pup spacing and scales are the same I measured them.

The thing I like most is the body isn't flat it has a beveled edge it's really comfortable.

Get one you will like it.

i know its not everybodys cup o drugs but i love the s#%t out of it and every single one of these i find is usually near a grand.

Finally got my Krank REV+. I gotta say all the Krank hating I've seen really isn't warranted. I understand that every person has a different preference, but this amp is really good. I got to play this side to side with a Mesa I was going to get. I really really like Mesa, especially because Petrucci gets some really good tones out of them.
I would have to say that this Krank is really versatile, and as far as tightness of the sound compared to the Mesa Recto, Krank sounds less muddy.

I'm not bashing, I'm just saying I like this amp and I'm very pleased with the quality of it.

I like both Mesa and Krank, well Krank amps that is.

Here is a pic of it.

I'm watching the new Gene Simmons' Family Jewels on A&E. While they are in the tattoo shop, and some chick is getting a tramp stamp of Gene Simmons' name. They had a Black Z-X, and a Blue Burst Z hanging on the wall.

I have a Peavey ValveKing and my FX loop magically stopped working. I have an MXR chorus and 10 band EQ in the FX loop. I have my cables running from send to input on the chorus, output chorus to input EQ, output EQ to return jack. What am I doing wrong? I get absolutely no sound when they're jacked into the loop. The cables work fine, is something wrong with my actual amp?

60th Anniversary Fender MIM Strat and an Ibanez ART100. Pics tomorrow.

Anybody have any pics of it? more then just the ones from Namm and stock ones. Gassing for one in White, but I wanna see it.

So, I umm, err, forget where it is going to be held but I know it is this weekend coming up. Who thinks we will see any cool new guitars/basses?

Has anybody got any experience with Laney amps? I'm seriously considering getting a 2x12 Laney cab and I know Paul Gilbert used them extensively for a while - anybody have anything to share?
Thanks!

Well im in the market for a new amp head so I was perusing youtube and checking out some amps. I came across a Marshall JCM 800 that sounded amazing, but I have no idea what model it was. Now say I was looking to get a Marshall JCM 800 that could pull off a great modern metal sound (with a boost of course) what would you guys recommend? Im Marshall illiterate btw

Does anyone have experience picking a good cab to tie-in with a Night Train?

I demo'd one through a Mesa recto 2X12 and it sounded great! Just looking for some other suggestions…

By the way... this thing ROCKS!

Thanks!

Hey guys, this is Bill Peck from Exit The Ride! Check out our new music video and the sweet Dean Guitars were using.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6I4YYN6lco

Just got my tickets. I'm freakin stoked. Incubus is one of the few bands that I like that still have all their members alive. Mike Einziger is one of my favorite guitarists. Pit tickets to top it off. I'm pumped! Anyone else going?

sales must be down

im looking to install new pickups in my split tail it has tc pups now not happy with um

active .......blackouts emg

passive.........dimebucker and dimetime jb and jazz or dimebucker and 59

any help you can give me will be appreciated i like a gain soaked scoop sound if that helps

I just got the one on the right...

Holy crap. Jazz Fusion has some bad ass guitar playing.

I was just turned on to these guys tongiht. My bud was talking to me about my lead playing, and I mentioned I like Zakk Wylde, he said, check out the leads and the runs from these guys on the album Birds of Fire.

It's awesome stuff. From 1972!! That's even before I was born, and I'm old as hell.

I ordered a Jackson KV2 this afternoon at a guitar store in Montreal.

I choosed the standard black model because it looks so badass. If everything goes as planned I should have it in November

Long wait.... long long long wait....

awsome sounding amp i tried one today and loved it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFv-VBRrtlA

i was looking into getting a peavey 6505 plus and i can get a bugera 1990 and a bugera 6262 plus a pedal to switch between the 2 heads for cheaper then the peavey. so that bugera setup would cover every single base you could think of and would still be cheaper. Pretty awsome company when the bugs are actually worked out. if i was the guitar player in my band instead of bass i would look no further then bugera!

everybody always talks about pickups but never mentions single coils.

I'm looking to upgrade an old washburn i have. It's an HSS configuration. looking to get a PAF clone for the bridge, but have no idea what to do for the single coil pups. thinking about a tele style in the neck position, but not sure.

not looking to spend alot of money. i pretty much only play this guitar while im at work

also, why can't i find any individual middle pups without buying a set?

Hey guys, I was just arsing about with Audacity recording some stupid samples and using the 12 bar blues thingy when I came up with an idea for a new forum game!!

Here's the lowdown:
I'll record a 12 bar blues backing track and put it up on Soundclick for download, then anyone who wants to join in can import it into whatever program they want and record a short solo over the backing track, then send it back to me. At the end we'll mix all the 12 bar pieces into one giant Dean Forum blues jam. To keep things simple we'll keep it in one key, hasn't been determined yet but I think A would be as good a key as any, so that way people will all sound cohesice.
I'll record the track with a light overdrive but you can play as clean or as distorted as you want.
We're not looking for anything particularly virtuosic here, I picked blues because it's something every guitar player can do and do with relative ease so it doesn't matter how lethal or lowly your chops are, everyone can join in! As well as that it's a pretty simple concept and won't need loads of planning like the Allstars did.

If you think it's a good idea, post here, fire your rigs up and I'll get recording the backing track. By the way, if anybody wants to lend a simple drum loop to it I'd be much obliged, my Beatcraft trial run has run out. The pace is gonna be pretty lively, we're wanting wholesome family fun blues here!
Peace,
-Ryan

A friend of mine just sent me this one after I got up from rolling on the floor and the tears out of my eyes though t I would post it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YGc4zOqozo&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freqs.php&feature=player_embedded

I passed up an offer from a friend to buy this a few years ago,when I was first learning. He wanted $60 for it and I passed because I don't really dig fire engine red, couldn't see a way to adjust the truss rod and the floyd was beyond me.

Another friend ended up buying it, and it has been hanging on his wall since then. A few days ago, I restrung, polished it and set up the floyd- this thing is a ripper. Cleaned up beautifully, a few very small dings but they are hard to see Could use a pickup upgrade,but they are alright.

Considering a trade for my Tele, so any info on this is appreciated.

Now, I need to find a set of locking nut clamps and a trem bar that will fit and match the existing chrome nicely.

Ok, I hear a lot about metal guitarist. Mainly, people saying they can be really good at metal but when asked to play something else, they simply can't. I have noticed that my playing is mainly metal (suicide silence, all shall perish, COB, etc.). I wouldn't mind being a one style kind of guy but knowing other styles wouldn't hurt either. Plus, I think it would help out my writing a lot. Just to be able to bring in influence from different genres to make an outside-of-the-box type of song. So, I was thinking of what songs to try and learn. Here is what I was thinking:
You Really Got Me-Van Halen
Chattahoochee-Alan Jackson

And that is IT! So I have songs for Country and Classic rock. So I was wondering, does anyone have any good songs to learn for Blues, Classical, and Jazz? Keep in mind, all these are new-ish styles to me so try and keep it easy. Thanks guys!

Am I the only one who thinks that strats and fenders and gibsons in general are over rated? Marshall amps as well. Marshall this and Marshall that. And just because slash plays a freakin epiphone, thats all everyone talks about! Am I the only one who thinks all this stuff is WAY overated?

If you had the chance to jam on stage with one guitar hero who would it be? Mine would be Uncle Ted Nugent! It can be someone not on the poll listing.

Mi Familia...







Follow the bridge/bridge pickup positions. Still need a flat for the EVO.

i was wondering if anyone who owns a VMNT could post a review? Also where are the VMNT's made?
pron is also welcomed!

Does Dean make IMPORT Floyd Z's?


sorry if this is so overly noobish that your brain melts.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2F0cObsq-GA&feature=related

i hope this is the right place too put this but what do i do when my guitarist in my band doesnt do anything anymore now that he started doing drugs. I mean i do some everynow and then but he doesnt he pull his weight in writing songs. It ended up just me and the bassist writing songs and we seem to be doing more work than ever before without him. And also the bassist doesnt want to kick him out because a good friend ours and his mom just died of cancer.

I AM LOOKING TO BUY MY FIRST ELECTRIC GUITAR, AND WANT TO BUY A DEAN BUT IM NOT POSITIVE WHAT I WANT AND DONT HAVE A LOT OF MONEY($350 MAX!(SAD I KNOW)) I HAVE PLAYED THE BLADE IN GUITAR CENTER AND ITS OK FOR WHAT I WANT. PLUS ITS $300ish. IS THIS A GOOD GUITAR FOR ME TO START ON?(I AM A NOVICE). OR SHOULD I LOOK AT SOMETHING ELSE? OR MAYBE GET A CHEAPER VERSION(OF AN ML) AND PUT ON GOOD PICKUPS?

ALSO WHAT IS AN EFFECTS PEDAL, STOMP BOX, DISTORTION PEDAL, ECT. THAT SOMEONE WOULD RECOMMEND? I LIKE A HARSH SOUND MUCH LIKE DIME AND OTHER THRASH AND POWER GROOVE BANDS.

ANY ADVICE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED, THANKS!

or should I just buy the Dean ML Noir XT

Which would be cheaper??

I'm only 14 and i have 2 Dean ml X(which I worked my butt off getting both of them)

I thought I could get piece by piece and finally have a Dean ML with a floyd.....i only have $175...so i was probably gunna get it on 'bay

this doesn't make sense to me. this is a korean guitar, but it doesn't have binding at the end of the fret board. it has usa pickups. and everything else as well, but rosewood fret board. and priced at 749..

Hey Guys, been looking at some Explorer shaped guitars, then have just been wondering what's the Major difference between Hamer and Gibson Explorers

I've never installed strap locks on a guitar with strap pins behind the neck so I wanted some input from you guys.

What's a good set to throw on a strap pin configuration like on an ML/V/Explorer/SG style guitar? I've only owned either singlecut or strat style guitars.

I generally prefer Schallers over Dunlops but I worry that the actual lock segment with interfere with my fretting hand since it sits directly behind the heel.

Could someone with Schallers installed on their guitar share some insight or better yet, some photos?

My Wolf Explorer thread has disappeared..... daym!

My bugera 6262 broke down after not even a week after i got it. Im sending it back to AMS but i have to pay a restocking fee because i dont have the original box. I think im going to stick with more reputable companies from now on. Also there is a dual rect 2 channel with a marshall 1960 cab for like 1300, how good of a deal is that and should i jump on it?

shortly imma get a new guitar

im looking at 2 agiles one is a hornet v
the other is a ghost pro

then on the other side of the spectrum im looking at a usa jackson kv2

the cost is dramatic the 2 agiles have emgs a LFR and jackson has a JB set and a OFR
which i can afford the jackson im looking for input here

also can someone tell me about agiles

My EC-400 could be tuned once every 3 days and stay in perfect tune even through massive wankery solos and crazy bends. The intonation was so spot on that all the open chords sounded pitch perfect and bar chords sounded flawless all the way up the neck. This guitar had become my life partner in the crime of commiting music lol.

About a month ago I went to put the guitar back on its stand and the body somehow managed to slip out of the cradle. The guitar fell INCHES to the ground, landed on the bottom strap button, and fell foward onto the body. I inspected to find a couple of dings, nicks, and scratches. This wasn't a big deal, this guitar was all about its performance and there wasn't any major damage. Well after the inspection I tuned her up and played an open E chord wich was perfect. Then I played a G (flawless), played a C (wacky sounding), and then a D chord (horrible sounding)!

As some of you know I brought the guitar in for some new pickups and a setup. I imagined the bridge was just thrown off a little bit after the fall and everything would be fine after the setup. No such luck, it was still pretty out of tune with the different chords and wouldn't stay in tune for more than 30-40 seconds! I then brought the guitar to the guy who did the original setup wich made it play so amazingly in the first place. After he was done I played it for 5 mins at the store and everything seemed to be back to normal. It wasn't till later that night at practice that after playing 3-4 songs everything went right back to how screwed up it was!

I can't help but feel hopeless right now and think I might have effed up the best thing that ever happened to me in 9 years of buying gear. Ive had numerous USA PRS guitars, Gibsons, Fenders, and a vintage USA Dean Elite. Nothing came close to how spot on the LTD was with staying in tune and intonation. Everything about it was perfect and now it just wont stay in tune. Does anyone have any idea what the hell could have happened or why its performing this way now? Also has anyone else ever noticed that some chords sound more in tune than others on most guitars? Honestly, with the EC every single chord you could throw at it sounded spot on no matter where it was played on the neck before it fell.

honestly, if you've seen a more sexy guitar, do post it here!
and if you have a soltero, post em here.

this isn't mine, but just...whow! its like going to a ball, seeing a VERY SEXY lady dressed in all black and she manages to leave you speechless. well, solteros are ten times that...atleast to me










this is also on ebay for 300 right now:

im thinking of getting the TC Electronic G Major sometime soon. what would you guys suggest as a pedal to control the patches and such? thanks for any input

so....i've got 3 guitars comin this week...or early next week....my first usa dean SCHENKER V!!!...and 2 bc riches one ebay impulse buy and my KKV that has now been completed.....the other bc rich is a warlock one of the see through red ones...needs a new neck but i have one so im set!!

so right now my gassss has been stopped for a few minutes anyway....

is anyone using the isp decimator or other foot pedal gate in the loop of their amp?

i am not asking about the rack units. they are designed to go in the loop of an amp. i have an alesis 3630 rack unit,but the gate is too tight for me to use in this manner. i am just trying to reign in some of the noise produced by the preamp,as i have a gate in my pedal-board for my guitar signal.

i am pretty sure the loop's signal is MUCH stronger than the guitar signal it would see in a normal setup(i.e. guitar-gate-amp).

if you are using a foot pedal gate in the loop of your amp,are you having to turn it up much higher to get the "hiss" out? all i am trying to do is tame some of the preamp noise out of some of my other heads.

all comments welcome,even the smart ass ones like i would post.

In your opinion, who makes the best strap locks? I was jumping around in my room playing my ML and the leg portion of the strap came undone. The guitar landed right on the corner of my metal 4 button footswitch for my amp and put a decent sized chip in it.

I was just wondering who uses the same wah pedal as me.
It's the only one I've ever owned, and I think that it's also the earliest purchased piece of music equipment that I still use.

Here's it's box.
(Wow! I've still got that?)




The instructions! It makes groovy sounds!




Top view. (and inspection tag from the box)


Side view. Note the stereo output jacks!


The big foot switch on the front kicks in the fuzz.


Bottom plate.


The electronics!


When you use the two out puts as stereo, the pedal pans the wah to the left and right, as you rock it!

So any way.... Who else uses one of these?

should be here soon.Damn amp fetish!!Second amp coming to next

month to damn:x :4 heads all together...somebody stop me!!

i guess it would make for a good project

Some of you know this, some of you don't - but in the past week or so I've been trying to flog my ML. It's a brilliantly guitar and tonally is amazing, but unfortunatley even after over a year of ownership I just cannot get used to the neck on it, and it's become less and less used as time went on - so the time's come to let it go.
I got a damn good price on it, and I'm not sorry to see it go in the slightest, because I'd much rather it went to someone who could properly appreciate it rather than sitting collecting dust next to it's faster-playing sisters. As well as that, I need a cab for my amp and I got either a tasty new Ibanez or Fender stuck firmly in my crosshairs so it's a win/win situation all round.
It won't be my last Dean though, whenever I can get the money I'll either buy a nice import or even look into getting a USA, where I can dictate exactly what I want from the guitar and how it plays.
Anyway, here's some going-away pr0n, it's nothing special, cos none of my pr0n is - but it's something at least!











Adios little Dean!

so get this i mailed my guitar home yesterday morning and later this after noon (after 2.5 months of waiting) the coffin case i ordered shows up and to top it off i got charged 65 dollars to ship the case cause the box was oversized. thank god i dont have to deploy any more after this.

yesterday I went to my local shop - who just became a Krank dealer. I wanted to check some of the "big boys" out as well as just see what all they had in stock. played quite a few different amps and they all sounded kickass! here is what I messed around with:

Krankenstein
Krankenstein Jr 20W
Rev Jr Pro 50W
Rev SST

I previously owned a Rev JR but was not very impressed with it as I live in an apartment and never really got a chance to let her rip. As we all know, tube amps are not properly represented at super low apartment friendly volumes. To get a true representation of what the amp sounds like, you need to be able to open it up! So, I never really got to hear what the Rev JR really sounded like. Which reverted me back to Soild State. Anyhow, in the store I was able to see what all the above mentioned amps were really capable of. The Krankenstein is a total beast - I was loving it! Very high gain and the clarity of each note was very impressive - even the JR version was ballsy as all hell! Was shocked that the Pro 50W was capable of pushing a Randall 4x12 and really made it thump! The Pro and Krankenstein JR are both foot switchable as well - which is cool. Not a big deal for me as I am pretty much on the dirty channel nonstop....cleans? what are those?!?! After yesterday, a Krank has made its way back onto my GAS list

http://www.junkguitars.com/junk7.JPG

my local shop got one the other night, much like the one in the pic above. are they really junk as this website would claim? cause this one looked and felt beastly. i didnt have time to play it and im not sure when i will

had a pretty killer paint job too (pics in a minute)

hes sellin it for 125.00

http://milwaukee.craigslist.org/msg/1234734587.html

do want

played one of these yesterday and I was digging it - played really nice. aside from the neck being super wide, it was very thin & fast - quite comfortable to play. it took me a minute to get used to though. I have a 7 string, but I haven't played it in a while as I took it apart to be my project but have not had time to work on it. once I got comfortable with the extra strings aspect - I was sludging it up something fierce! sounded quite br00tal through the Krankenstein I was messing around with. I have zero intention to get one, it was just cool to play around with - was curious to see how one would play/feel. the one I played was a special order. I guess the dude that ordered it, played it in the store for a couple hrs the day it arrived. took it home and then two days later called and returned it. kind of sucks for the shop that got it for em - not a huge market for 8 strings. now they are kind of stuck with it. I think they are willing to deal on it too, so that they don't have it hanging there forever. not sure why they let the dude return it in the 1st place - prolly cos they are hella nice. anyhow - it was fun to play to say the least. no real point to this thread, just bored at work

I just about exploded when I saw these

Well guys, just this morning I finished off the final and title track of my demo, and seeing as you've all been mega,mega supportive and encouraging to me I thought you should be the first to hear and give your thoughts on it
You boys will like this one, it's an odd track as the name suggests, a mixture of Malmsteen, Vai, various classical composers and a lot of other random stuff that's been floating around inside my head for a long time and finally given life.
Speaking of long times, it took me ages and ages to write this song - I've been working on it pretty much constantly for the better part of a month or so, so it's great to have it finally over with and have everything finally in place, musically at least.
I guess it should really be called "With A Little Help From My Friends" because it would have been impossible to make without the help of my synth-savvy friend Matt who fleshed out all the synth/piano/xylophone parts which make up a very large portion of the song, although I doubt the Beatles would be too pleased with that

Anyway, I'll stfu and get to the point, here's the link for downloading the song:

Hold onto your butts and prepare to take a trip into madness - hope you enjoy!

Anyone out there own a baritone? I've had my Washy strung up and tuned as a baritone for a while now, it's great and fits what I want for the moment, but the scale is killing me. I was looking around for different ones, and so far the one with the best value that I've seen is the new Mike Mushok PRS. Set neck, ebony board, extended scale, all for roughly $500-600 from what I've seen. I was just wondering though if there were any other companies with a sweet baritone for a fair price.

anyone know what Z this is?

Well I'm starting a Blog about Guitar. Anything and everything Guitar. I'm also going to be posting reviews about pickups as I have been buying a new pickup every 2 weeks or so. New content will be constantly being added and if you wish to contribute just email or pm me or something. I'm posting this here as a resource to fellow Dean Forum members. Hopefully it can be of some help to a few of you

did they discontinue the 79 v?

Ok, I know we had one of these before but that one didn't go too well. Here is the question: What technique do you get the most joy out of doing/hearing?
Please, none of that crap about "You should enjoy doing everything and be an all around good guitarist" stuff. That ruined the last one of these if I recall correctly.
I'll start!
I love doing Hammer-ons/pull-offs type stuff. My fingers aren't very fast when it comes to fast solos (I.E. Downfall solo, etc). But, if I use this technique, I can pull off some of that stuff. Don't get me wrong, I am not slow but I just can't go that fast yet. Plus, I like the sounds that it can produce.

The tone of the amp is as awesome as ever. There is no change at all. I have it in my padded road case and NOT on top of my cab. The head is unmodded except for the LED's which I power via a 9v boss adapter. The circuit remains unchanged inside the amp.

I play at practice and I get uncontrollable popping and cruching of epic proportions at random times. Its usually after 30 minutes or more and it does not always happen.

The loud pops and crunches are most defiantly from the head and they are at full volume. I play on 2 and the pop are so LOUD I almost crapped myself. It must be the power tube.

Opinions?



*Update*

Tapping on the preamp tubes re-creates the random noise. 3 of the tubes consistantly pop like hell when tapped lightly.

Read the subject

Mine would be Dunlop

If your brand isn't on there reply it.

cant decide between finishes, im leaning towards the black but my inner hair metaler/shread god wants the yellow

my brother out .
Now he owns #4 White Gold Razorback so don't ask me why he's thinkin of gettin a new guitar haha

He is thinking about gettin a ESP-LTD MH1000FR in Snow White .
So I said I'll ask about on various forums for reviews about it .

Anybody own/owned/played on ? GIMMIE REVIEWS !! and if so pron !!

my favorite truck stop is flying j. best food...best wifi....best lot lizards....and they always have some strange crap like this cd player.

i saw one just now. no,it is not a real guitar,everything is plastic. but it is full size,and has nylon strings on a fairly accurate plastic fretboard.

in theory,you do finger excercises while listening to a cd.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBV6bDIRneE this man is so bad he has to make up the for whom the bell tolls solo metallicas easiest. and his friend with the sg just sits there and pretends to play half the time he doesnt even do that. the guy makes the same solo for every song he covers and he downpicks terribly its like he never learned how to alternate pick. god i want to kill him just watch his other videos and this is what it say on his page about people that leave bad comments on his videos....

At first, before you're writing me any BULLS*.IT comments, show me only that you are better than me on my live performances!
If not take a tip from a friend: There's nothing stopping you, but it might be better you learn more and come back in a few years!!!

...or much better #$%@ up and go to hell, smart ass!!!

What happens at Summer NAMM, is Dean gonna release some more products?

Looks like tallan went with another guitar company.THe owner used to have something to do with dean i heard?

Just got back had a great time.It was a great show.Man that dude

in killswitch with the cape is funny as hell.the fact that he rips on

guitar got me through his @#$%&$@ stage antics.Now I sat on the left

side of the stage for slayer.BIG mistake!All I could hear was jeff

hanneman.I never noticed what crappy tone he has compared to

kerry king.Kerrys tone is fat and crunchy and jeffs is midrange garble.

He must have been drunk cause he could not keep time with the band.

Manson Had a good show

I was surprized to see twiggy playing guitar this time?at least i

think it was twiggy?Not to many people that ugly so ....Manson

I did some searching, but I wasn't happy with the results.
So, everyone who owns a flightcase, or has experience from travelling with guitars...post every link to every company you can think of!

Also, post pr0n of all your cases, official or customized stuff dosen't matter.
Touring dudes, dealers, everyone who knows anything...post your s#%t!
I want to know everything about traveling with guitars, and going on tour!

Also, if anyone can recommend a good flightcase for an MLF 79 it would be great.

Just won a Fender Highway One strat offa EvilBay:

Fireball-


I really can't decide, they are all so ugly. I almost puked getting all this uglyness!

I got really tired of searching through the hundreds (maybe thousands) of threads that were related to my search.

I remember a thread recently that had pictures of the new Soltero headstocks, and I was very impressed with them.

Are those in production yet?

I have made a new guitar lesson, it is on my Facebook music page. It is about constructing a solo by means of repetitions. Check it out!

"A common scenario: you have just written a cool riff or chord progression, and are trying to create a guitar solo on it. But no matter how long are you martyrizing the axe, no success seems to be achieved... A familiar situation, huh?

i believe that this is Corey's old guitar teacher from when he was a kid .

Ive been playing guitar for just over a year and i was looking for an upgrade from my epiphone sg to start saving up for and I found the BC Rich DLXJRVO with and OFR and EMG pickups online and i wanted to see it in person, so today i went to guitar center to try it out. The floor model i was playing had really really low action on the first few frets, but it also had many, many dead frets, especially in the first 4 or 5 frets. it overall just sounded very crumby when i played on those first few frets, and notes in power chords would just cancel out. i dont know if i was just playing a bad one or if the locking nut was too tight or whatever. Any experiences like this with this guitar or any other floyd rose equipped guitars? Thanks

I have been searching all day for a decent tab for Pantera's song slaughtered. All I can find is stupid s**t that is drop tuned or real fast like master of puppets. Anyone know of any good links or tabs they could post? Please Help!

I dont know how i did it, but i lost the spring in my isp decimator pedal.

Does anyone know where i can get one??Or does anyone have one I

can buy?I d be happy to pay for it and shipping via paypal??

anyone ever heard of them? i was working in ohio this past week at the POCI GTOAA convention in Ohio, and one of the nights there was a free concert at a holiday inn right near the convention in beavercreek. anyway, they said this kid was playing that was supposedly some type of prodigy... so we went and checked them out. great stuff. kid was a great player, also loved his voice. sounded just like SRV. he did some great songs.
so... just curious as to whether or not anyone else has ever seen him.

so after lusting after deans for a long time, then finally owning my VMNT last month....the GAS continues!!!

after logging into my favorite forum every day for the last month and being hammered with all sorts of beautiful deans, one in particular has been catching my eye, partly because its always on the main page!

The Dean ML ATF 3000, in trans black ooohhhh so sexah, and a floyd! ive never owned a floyd i wanna learn how to make her scream after i make her purr....heres some good pics on this ebay site

pure sexiness made of wood!

i have a set of seymour duncan blackouts i can throw in it right away, cuz ill take em outta my warlock, which ill have to sell...but yeah, opinions on this guitar?!?! should i do it!? how are the floyds?! i have to special order it cuz Deans arent really stocked anywhere here locally. Anyone own one or have played one? is it as sexah as she looks? ive had some good looking girls in my time that have ended up being unreliable untrustworthy dogs

AHHHHH GAS is so evil and beautiful at the same time!!!

Just picked this up in a trade. Always wanted a Mustaine guitar. this thing is so easy to play. Its #157 of 200.

Simple question, I "loves" my V shaped neck profile axes..., probably gonna ditch my last C neck ML soon.

So I want to buy an acoustic geetar. Can I easily find one with a V shaped neck? Better yet, a soft V to C shaped neck like my Slime or a Soltero?

Has to be a thin body acoustic, I can't play those fat ones!!! I prefer electro-acoustic, but acoustic only is also fine if the price is right

Check out this Razor V.

Hey guys ! I was wondering :



http://www.deanguitars.com/exotic_mls_vs_zs.php

Does the table REALLY look like this one ? Or does Dean put cheap splated maple tables on their $4220 USA Guitars ?

If you got this one please send some pics

Thanks,


Elie

What do you guys think about this one ? ( ML ATF 3000 ) Good features, I don't know about the abalone binding though. Kind of sparkly. Originl Floyd, good pups. What neck shape does it have ? Is it a "V" shape or not ? That's my big question. I am kind of digging it in red. Wish I knew what was coming in for 2010. I'd like to get one of these, but don't know if I should wait to see what's in store for 2010.

Actually, it's rare that I truly have GAS in the first place. I just "want" guitars usually.

But my God am I gettin' itchy for both of these:

1. ESP Eclipse II Vintage Black


2. Jackson COW-7 Black


I'll buy my new cab, then the ESP, then the Jackson. Sounds like a good plan to me.... now all I have to do is stick to it and not buy any cheap guitars in between all of this!

yeah yeah, it was done by babicz guitars for years. but before that, it was prolly first seen in 1800's. but i wonder why this technology never caught on. michael kelly may be in for a law suit as they are claiming its their own technology and there is a patent pending on it right now...but i think babicz already has that copy righted.

but, michael kelly has done the guitar in a MUCH more affordable way and with a better pin-less bridge. plus, ebony fret board? i think michael kelly is a win:

am i the only one who thinks this is the greatest technology slapped on an acoustic guitar since a tuner and peizo?

i mean, this is one reason why i tend to stay away from acoustic guitars. the action, for majority of guitars is WAY too high. and there is hardly much you can do to change that. yet, with this guitar, you can easily change the action back and forth without much of an hassle. no much ripping your saddle, sanding it down and sticking it back on.

this is just brilliant! :love:

I have 2 questions .

1.) How many were made cos I heard that there was only 100 made .

2.) any pron ? UPLOAD IT NOW !!!!

plus it is my dream guitar .

I'm a new owner of a X2 thanks to "HellboundinftworthTX" THANKS MAN! I thought it would be a good idea to compile info/tips for us 300 in the world, so please post you opinions, info, setting and tips. past and present owners alike. I'll post a review here when i spend some more time with it.
SOUND OFF!

A guy tried out for the band last night and had this guitar. It caught my eye. I didn't play it, nor have I played a Peavey guitar, are these any good?

He had blackouts in it, and they sounded great through his triple X, not the hottest through my valve king though.

Just got this today. Seems pretty cool so far, even though all I have is a tiny little practice amp with no distortion. It's huge though!

Ive been thinking of buying one very soon, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what their opinions are on it?

I got a Dean Vendetta for $25
The bassist of my band bought one and he didn't want it anymore cause he was getting a bass and needed $25 more

Hello people, i had been playing with my new Dean From Hell and decided record some cover of Metallica (Through the Never) with the software Guitar Rig 3.

I just looking for a good distorsion with that software, and i accept critics and suggestions on how to get a better distorsion.

( if anybody know where can i download the Dimebag EQ or some VST to Guitar Rig 3 i will be extremely grateful )

here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYIg1LdzH04

i hope you like it, thank you

hey guys... first recording i've done in a while. i decided to do a quick one on my classical. Dee by Randy Rhoads. not perfect, but i finally got a take i was at least happy with. let me know what you think.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=974556

Here's the scenario.

I have a very basic rig. This is the setup, and the settings.

Marshall DUal REverb Head into 4x12- Gain at 16
ZW OD- Gain at 5-10% Level set same as input volume

This isn't a whole lot of gain, but I am getting an awful lot of noise at rehearsal volume. I'm hoping it has more to do with me standing so close to the rig... Correct?

My Splitail and my Soltero are less noisy than my Black GOld Z. They all have great tone, but are the lesser quality pu's in the BGZ the source of the noise? Upgrading the PU's my best option?

I wouldn't think I need a noise gate, since I'm not going Uber Metal Gain or anything.

My school asked me to play a couple of songs on the first day this year. I really don't know what to play I'm thinking one or something like that and some other stuff. I want to play welcome home sanatarium but it says dammit and hell. Also where is a good place to get tracks with out lead guitar?

As always thanks in advance for all the help

Found this on irish ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.ie/Explorer-style-guitar-heavy-metal-EMG-81_W0QQitemZ130318081183QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item1e57901c9f&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12|66%3A2|39%3A1|72%3A1298|293%3A1|294%3A50#ebayphotohosting

Basically it's a replica of an ESP, it's cheap for the quality the seller professes, it's in Ireland so I won't be gouged by delivery fees (why do all of you selling guitars live in the US :'( ) and I'm tempted by a white explorer with EMGs. The guy has a youtube video where he plays it and it looks ok, and has 100% referrals.

Should I take this bet ?

so my bands had rough patches the drummer and guitar players did there own things and wernt dedicated. we let go of the drummer because of a bunch of things. we never did find a new drummer so the two guitarists walked away 2 days ago. yesturday i found an amazing drummer with an As I Lay Dying style which is better then the old drummers protest the hero style and my vocalist found two guitar players who have known and jammed with each other for 5 years and have been playing guitar for 7,8 years. Today we had our first practice and the songs flowed freely i must say we acomplished more today then our old line up ever did!
we plan to have a show next month and it couldnt have worked out any better

Tomorow I will hopefully be able to play one of Randy's studio guitars from his Quiet Riot days, and Fender Strat. I am bringing my guitar in to be set up and this shop has vintage corner, where this guitar was recently added to. I don't know if they will let me play it or not, hopefully they will.

You do the Rattlesnake Shake, Shake away dem blues....

Finally here after 18 days of waiting. Awesome geet, plays great, all I still have to do is set the action right for me. Heres the pron, I took these with my cellphone and I really am not a professional photographer

So I got my new wah (sweet!) and it has the 6 postion selector knob and 3 tiny pots on the side. The 3 tiny pots are, Volume, Fine tune, and Variable Q. The 6 position choses the sweep that you want to play through. If you listen to to the end solo of CFH live at ozzfest 2000, Dime's wah makes the notes almost sound like harmonic's. Here's the vid:

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

How would I go about doing that?

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=123892

i don't know whether to laugh or cry..

So, I went into the local guitarshop.
I tried a Gibson Flying V and a Epiphone Goth Explorer.
Due to my skewed left hand, I'm having trouble sitting down and playing, so I had to borrow a strap from the shop.
I tried playing around with it a bit, but I just didnt like the feel of it.
I got the feeling it might be because of the strap I used. I'm a big guy, and I like my ax way down, but the strap in the shop was way too short for me to be playing it comfortably. Should I bring my own strap into the shop next time? How much does the strap length matter to you, when you play different guitars?

Oh, I also found out just how heavy my DFH is compared to other guitars. The V felt like a plastic toy, due to how light it was, and the Explorer felt kinda meh. I guess I like it heavy all the way.

anyone know what floyded guitar he currently uses live? cause Nemisis needs a floyd. Unless they don't play nemisis anymore.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOcJL7oI-WE

This has nothing to do with setup or tuning of a floyd so don't tell me to go to the tech forum. One of the post things, that is used to adjust the action somehow got stripped on the inside and when i try to adjust it, the allen wrench just wobbles around. is there anyone to fix this? sorry for how vague my description was.

ok.. so i am here playin my acoutic... and i have a milkshake i made just a few moments ago.. and i was thinkin... "wow.. i am an idiot.. if i gotthis on my guitar.... but no worries, it is out of reach now lol so it got me to think... what are commen sence moments that you wonder later on.. how you coul be so stupid...

this can deal with anything from food to putting the geet in a below 70 IQ type place... even if it did not hapen to you, tell it anyway (for laugh sake)!!
it does not have to del with just a guitar.. it can be any intrument... so lets hear it!

Just bought a new Soltero Standard, and I want to replace the stock gold speed knobs with the nickel ones from an USA hardtail, where could I get some of those?

What about nickel p/u rings, anyone know where I could get those to match the rest of the hardware?

Thanks!

zz top on monday night raw should be interesting.

hey all got a funny story.i was looking through the new gw buyers guide a bit ago.my neice was with me and i was askin her about guitars she likes and i like.i asked what u think about lighting razorback she goes yea.we get to the zakk wylde splittail and she goes eww.isnt that funny.

MCA from the Beastie Boys has a "very treatable" form of cancer in a gland in his throat, and is going to have surgary for it sometime next week

...this new ebay layout? I keep scrolling down to see the pics, when they're little tiny thumbnails, instead, up by the description. What's it take for a dude to get a decent set of Ibby Super 70s? Christ!

this was my first time looking at anything that EH has
and this Voice Box looks and sounds really cool

Post images and what you like best about them

Here's mine, a 1984 DT500CS setneck Destroyer and I like everthing about it, looks, sound and playability

Where can I find Dean specs for setting up a guitar?

Naw it's my buddy Marvin Fields playing Jimi's "Machine Gun" on my brand new Rust but he sure looks like Hendrix huh? Also except for being right handed..

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370230695579

= WIN! If you don't know what I am talking about go to Jim Dunlop's site and have a look. I can't post links to other manufacturers here but it's worth the Google.

killed my day big time

Lanning, and other guitar techs, I need a quick way to do this. Got some crazy buzz going on with the high E. Only a few days left and this guitar is my last resort before I'm gone.

I typed in Dime on the guitar center used gear search and I came across a boss DC-3 Digital Dimension. Says that its a rare pedal. Anyone know what it does or how rare it is? It is listed as a volume pedal but its not. The listing # is 105277882. Type that in the used search and it should be there.

so i know im fairly new here, and im a big Dean fan, love my VMNT to death...but its only really best for metal and slaying elves...and between my strat, and my Dean.....i got no really hard rock crunch! no 2 humbucking rocking guitar.

So i been searching...

i traded in a squire Tele i had for a PRS SE Custom.....nice import guitar, a bit ripe 800 bucks with semi weak pickups...but definately seemed like it would do the job oce i spent some coin upgrading. UN fortunately the QC on it just wasnt up to PAR...the damn decal started flecking off the headstock even on it, toggle is loose as hell, just not great..

so as a fender guy for many years, i have began opening my horizons and checking out the other guy, some epiphone les pauls! and i actually started to like a few of them! so i decided to EBAY one....WRONG! BAD mistake!! I guess with epiphones being made in china, the fakes and counterfeits are prolific since there are no laws against it there....and I ended up with a DUD!! a phony! UGH! so forget that nonsence (still waiting on my refund to process, dont ever ebay an epiphone )

then in the dumps i started getting excited about our very own Dean asian imports, only to find that quality is questionable even in the $1000+ range


so after all this, im a bit ticked off and a bit neurotic, so i decided...never again! quality is worth it, packed up the PRS and brought it back to the store, and walked out with a brand new....






on sale even, 2008 model...they were hanging up 2009 models today, and this one got priced on sale 800 bucks cheaper! so yah, sorry for the book, just needed to get my crazy guitar trip i been on , off my chest!

cheers guys
Jordan

What do you guys think of them?
How do they compare to other pickups(ie. Duncans)?
I haven't heard them myself so I have no clue whatsoever.

If you want to restring a floyded axe how many inches or centimeters do you cut off each string if you want to use the method where you insert the ball ends in the tuners for a 25.5 scale guitar? (not the fine tuners)

Guess what. 2000 Fender Deluxe Super Strat.

Post a picture of the Coolest Looking Guitar( or Paint Jobs)

Lets see the coolest looking guitar that you can find

Here's mine

Has anybody used the hipshot tremsetter.I saw it at gc and didnt know how well it worked.Basically i am wondering if it eliminates tunig problems with a liscensed floyd?

im think im prolly gonna sell my washy whitenin bolt and either get the Dean Matt Heafy sig or the Washy Slimebolt. they are both around the same price. so what do yall think? lemme know which would you get and why. btw dont listen to much trivium at all, i just love japan and think its a sick lookin guitar.

I'm really excited, I've seen Testament before live, but have never seen the other two live, has anyone else?

I read that you can isolate tracks on Metallica Guitar Hero.

Does this mean that you can have guitars playing alone? Specifically, are the Black Album guitar tracks available isolated from the mix?

i was thinking lately that i dont see what the big deal is about v neck profiles. they dont feel different to me. then i discovered that none of the Deans at GC have v necks .

and they got more than a few. i could have swore the ml shadow had one but i didnt see it on the list that was posted here a while back.

what other brands have v necks? even if its not on a dean id like to feel one up and see what all the hubub is about.

So......

I am in the market for a power conditioner. I don't have a bunch of rack gear, so it will be going in 2 space that probly has a wireless in it.

There seems to be quite a fluctuation in prices on these. How important are things like the LED display showing voltage? Does it really matter what the voltage is as long as it works? I mean doesn't the conditioner make sure the voltage isnt to high anyway?

I guess I need someone to justify to me why I need to spend the extra money on a few lights and whistles?

What kind do you use? Why do you like it over the competition?

No mistakes, they didn't get lost this time during Rosetta stoned last show they got lost for 20 some seconds, everyone was looking around going.. "what song is this?"

46 and 2 just crushed!!!!!! tightest i've heard them play that song.

Flood was awesome as well.

Adam is the man, flawless performance!!

Maynard is sounding good, he wasn't holding notes out as long as he usually does.

Danny.. perfect

Justin's bass tone is just amazing, great player as well.



1. Jambi
2. Stinkfist
3. Forty-Six & 2
4. Schism
5. Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)
6. Rosetta Stoned
7. Flood
8. Lateralus
9. Vicarious

I wish they would play a different setlist and put more Undertow and Opiate songs in their set!!!

Might have been posted before. If so, Im sorry.
Otherwise, hope you find it as funny as me. Enjoy.
