I wonder if Dragonforce makes more money out of the rights they sold to GH for their songs or their album sales =p xD

any ideas to getting 6k for a randall amp besides a job?

Beg, Borrow and Steal?

just ask the bank to loan you 6k

Haha, i realise that now. Weird..

Blacktrix, try and check out if they have the RG50TC and if available, the price (shudders at GC's pricing ). Cheers.

you think banks just give out loans to anyone that walks into their office ?

Will do. I would definitely want to test that out too.
Oh yeah, I WILL have to censor out some of your words. Remember the Bman incident? Please change or the whole message will be deleted.

Also, I just came back from Spruce guitars. Just placed an Order for the Razorback 255 in Dime Slime Will be getting it around a month's time. Looks like I got my wings!

Oh and if you're interested, The Dean Trivium's are NOT coming in, but they are getting in the Mustaine Angel of Death, some Razorbacks and the MLs. They are not bringing in any other accessories, including the new Dean Pickups, but if you want anything, they can order it in for you....... for a price.

That Razorback 255 has mahogany body right?

Won't it sound almost the same as your ZW LP?

Yuppers....... that's what I'm looking for.
Mahogany neck with an Ebony fretboard..... so might sound slightly different then my Maple/Rosewood neck on my LP ZW.

just came back form bents damansara. was gonna give the demmelition v a shot but it was ''resereved for andrew'' what a bummer =(

Ever thought of giving duncan Blackout Metals a try?

I might, but I already have so many EMG equipped guitars which I love the tone so much, I don't find a need to change. Heck, I'm getting another pair of EMG 81/85 that I don't even NEED at the moment...... but just like to keep around. Might swap them into a Gibson Les Paul Standard IF I ever get one.

But as for the blackouts, unless I buy a guitar that's already equipped, I don't think I'll get a pair JUST to try out the sound.

Grats on your guitar man, but a minor correction, if you order something along with their shipments it's at no additional charge. they usually place shipments around every 3 months. But if you want it quick they can fly it in by air freight and thats the one that will cost extra.

Curious but has anyone tried a dean US?

Eh dun lah xD
get the real PAFs xD

If it's PAFs, of course I'll keep them in. But if it's Burstbuckers, I'll probably play around with it for awhile, and if I like it, I'll keep 'em. If not, In comes the EMGs.

Another tempting option is getting a cheaper Gibson Les Paul Classic or Studio and whacking in the EMGs.

haha, the demmelition was reserved for andrew? Thats my friend who is working there. He reserved it for my other friend who wants to buy it. He already has an ESP M2 and a mesa boogie express. Darn, gotta go to his place and try them all out one day.

Blacktrix- what do i have to edit? Is it the GC price thing? No idea, sorry.

Nope. Profanities. S**t. please remove all instances of that word.

haha

though first impression i thought it was gonna be a fulltube modelling ie spider valve kind
heh
pretty nonetheless
200W!!!

I didn't use profanities. Oh yeah, i quoted evalshtog, it was in the quote. Ok, edited.

trix - im guessing those are the potbelly series?
they are nice.. im guessing its esps strategy to win the PRS players market.

Not too shabby i must say..

Yuppers. PB series. It seems like everyone is going after PRS guitars lately.

And evalshtog, you better edit your post too, otherwise..... will delete the ENTIRE post.

trix, you got any youtube vids with your ZW or RR3? Want to see how they sound through your Marshall. And make sure you give us a lot of that 255 pronz. When are you getting it?

If you want to see the power of the Marshall with my effects, will post up an AUDIO clip of it.. Youtube sucks when it comes to comparing guitars and stuff like that.

My 255 will be in hopefully in 1 month's time.

still, if got utube oso shiok la. can see those guitars in action.

Haha, yea exactly. Youtube first, audio clips second.

Sure thing........ If you don't mind some VERY VERY VERY crappy playing
And hearing the same pentatonic scale over and over and over and over AGAIN!

just bang out zakk wylde's farewell instrumental

I can't even handle that! I'm such a horrible player....... I just make it up by buying flashy guitars.

chill blacktrix, look at the bright sight. players more horrible than u *cough*good charlotte*cough* can get endorsement deals and signature guitars.

there is still hope. =)

But then you have to marry/date Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton..... *shudder*
He did have a thing with Hilary Duff...... which was hot...... but still..... Paris Hilton???? Nicole Richie? Paris Hilton? Ew.

Knack for blondes??
Keeley Hazel xD

Haha, i still remember you having Hilary Duff as your avatar. Nvm, your playing can't be as crappy as Fred Durst, so just post it up.

how about shred durst? check him out on youtube

haha, shred durst is awesome on guitars. Fred durst is just a disaster. Check out one of his 'solo' during a concert, earkilling.

I'm in my Pedophile stage....... listening and watching alot of Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus now.....

I WANNA BE A ROOOOCKKKK STTTTTAAAAARRR!!!!!

watching lamb of god's dvd now therefore am at a state of listening to their stuff so much, that when i was picking up people to go to church, i didnt notice all the while when they were in my car, Sacrement album was playing. only realised after a long while, she asked me if i could put it a 'little' softer. lol.

Added on July 27, 2008, 11:18 pmAny sound samples for the Black Diamond amp?

got new toy from bentwtfley today.
Boss Micro BR, RM900.
surprisingly, its actually cheaper than me going down SG and buying a used micro BR


and why no one mention got these mini RGs?
damn cool la, RM650.

Eh, what time were you there? I was there around 3.30.......
Played with that Black Mini RG. Quite cool, but could use better pickups.
Oh, and fell in love with the one piece RGT....... and the neck on the 7 string RG is still too wide for me

ah, just missed u then...was there around 430.
actually i first saw the pink mini RG and went tried it...then noticed the other 3 beside it were mini too

But the headstock a little too fat and not proportionate to the body...... so made it look weird.

But I wonder if there is any way to add a whammy to the guitar.........

the whammy bar can be added no prob...whether it will stay in tune or not is another matter cos its a short scale so the strings have very little pull.

Mini RG?Interesting.Better go check it out later.

Cheers...

Hmmmmmmmmm..... screw that. Claw Route the sum b***h and throw in a locking trem!

thats what i meant la...
locking trem i think will definitely never stay in tune.

as it is, its hard enough for it to stay in tune in standard with a fixed bridge due to the short scale.
imagine the hell that will happen with a floating trem.

guys, with a FR, is it gonna be difficult to change tuning by one whole step? would i need to loosen the nuts at the neck and all before i change the tuning?
very close to getting a S series, but wanna know if its gonna be hard to change tunings.

Well, it would be a lot more hassle than a hardtail. Normally if you change tunings a lot, its best to get either two axes with different tunings or a hardtail. Although after a while you will get used to changing tunings on trems, but it still would be an unnecessary chore.

S series is SUPPOSEDLY easier to change the strings, what with it's lock at the base (The very excellent ZR-Trem)....... but that is only useful if you already KNOW how to change a standard FR.

Actually, I can't really say much on the matter because I'm having the hardest time changing the strings on MY RR3.....

On a related note, sending my RR3 to get the bridge re-setup (changing to Dunlop Zakk Wylde standard .010-.46) and fix in straploks, while my LP-100 is going to be sent to JS Music to change the tuners to the Schallers I bought from Guitar Center, change the strings, adjust the bridge (it buzzes a little) and also get the wiring fixed for the EMGs. Tempted to throw in an afterburner switch....... but we'll see how.

Sell the RR3 get a RR5FR =p

or sell everything to get a gibson zw lp.

Or give me everything for free.
