The very first lp I ever bought was Van Halen(self titled) when it first came out. I loved them
until Diver Down. Then Dave left and so did I. I did see them on Monsters of Rock Tour with
Sammy in 1988.(maybe his second tour with them) I liked them and that concert made me believe
all the hype about Eddie's guitar playing. Haven't paid attention until Dave reunion and tour and
was going to go see them until I saw cheap seats were $80.00. F*ck that. I saw the Dave and Sammy
tour in 02' and thought it was cool. The first couple of songs by Mr. Roth weren't too good because
of sound but after that it felt like watching Van Halen. I'll settle for that. POSTS: 3323 | LAST SEEN: Friday, September 14, 2018 | FROM: | URL:

[JudasPriest WebMaster] Wednesday, April 14, 2010 12:24:25 AM
Welcome to the JudasPriest.com Noticeboard!
Rules
Being a member of this Noticeboard is a privilege and not a right. You are expected to behave in a civil manner and refrain from personal attacks on other users.
Things that will result in your message and/or your account being banned:
Racist, Sexist, Homophobic comments
Belittling, ridiculing, or personal attacks on another member
Any post that includes anything that could result in police involvement - which includes but is not limited to: death threats, posting another users photo without their permission, posting personal details about another user including address, phone number or email address.
Offensive Messages
I ask all users to please use the 'target' icon on a post to report it if they find the message offensive. These messages are reviewed periodically, and action is taken as required based on the above rules.
Repect Points Explained
Due to past abuse of this Noticeboard, we have had to introduce a Respect Points system.
All new users start out with 0 Respect Points and can only post in the Introductions [New Members post here] topic.
For the first month all new members are on 'probation'. After your first month, assuming you have been active by posting on the Noticeboard a few times you will be promoted to a regular user and be assigned 25 Respect Points automatically. This system has been put in place to prevent people abusing the Noticeboard after having their account banned, by just re-registering with a new email address.
You can also earn and lose Respect Points in a number of other ways.
Summary of Earning Points* New users start with 0 points and earn points up to 25 based on the number of posts they make and they need to be a member for 1 month
* Once you reach the 25 Respect Points the number of posts you make above this will have NO affect on your points level.
* Adding a User to your Friend List adds a Respect Point to them
* Removing a User from your Friend List deducts a Respect Point from them
* Adding a User to your Ignore List deducts a Respect Point from them
* Having a Message Banned deducts one point from the User who posted it
Respect Points Calculation Update
I have also ran an update for all existing users Respect Points to accurately take into account:
a) their number of Friends
b) the number of people Ignoring them
c) the number of banned messages.
d) All users who are out of their first month probabation period have been allocated 50 respect points, plus or minus the changes caused by a, b and c.
To allow me to do c) I have deleted all previously banned messages (702 of them as of 5th July 2006) on this Noticeboard.
This Respect Points calculation is now scheduled to run once every day. So, once a user finshed their probation period they are allocated 25 respect points - enough for them to start using all the features of the Noticeboard. However, as soon as a user achieves 25 respect points they are then allocated 50 respect points plus or minus the changes caused by a, b or c.
From now on (5th July 2006), any messages I ban will affect your Respect Points. I will only ban messages that are unacceptable. People who reply (quote) to a message which is banned will have their messages DELETED. This means that you are not punished for replying to an unacceptable message. Of course, if the manner in which you reply is unnacceptable then your message too will be banned. By Deleting this messages, it will not affect your Respect Points, but it will affect your Post Count.
How to use the Friends List
* Under Admin you can see your list of Friends. From here you can Remove users that you have previously added to your Friend List.
* You can add a Friend to your list by clicking on the 'Add User as a Friend' link when reading a Message (PM) in your Inbox.
* You can also add a Friend to your list by clicking on the 'Add User as a Friend' from a Users Profile.
Other FAQ
* You lose points by people having YOU on THEIR ignore list, not by you using your ignore list.
* Once you attain 25 respect points you cannot go below this. That is, once you have passed your probation period you will never be demoted back to having less than 25 points. You may drop below 25 respect points, but only for a period of 24 hours. The daily automated points calculation task will then increase you back up to 25 points.
Ignore User effect on Respect Points
The Ignore User feature is only available to those people who have more than 25 points. This is to prevent people creating new accounts just to ignore users and affect that users Respect Points.
Edit Message
There is a time restriction of 30 mins on being able to Edit your messages. That is, you can edit a message for up to 30 minutes after you have posted it, but after that time your message cannot be changed. This gives you the opportunity to edit your message to fix spelling mistakes etc immediately after posting it, but prevents you from posting abuse and then editing it later before I have had time to review your message to determine if it should be banned or not.
Summary
Hopefully all of the above is not too confusing. In summary, as a new user you are on probation for 1 month which restricts you from posting anywhere in the Noticeboard. After 1 month of using the Noticeboard, assuming you have made a few posts you will be promoted to a full user of the Noticeboard with access to all the features here.

Good. Stay on your toes. Remember I'm an old fart. I had the unenviable experience of living through the 70's and 80's in New England. Got to see all those fighters screaming over my house to meet the Bear bombers coming over the pole. As for the Golden Rule bit, don't worry, you just haven't thought it through far enough yet.

I agree, except for one variable. I see Russia as more of a "loose cannon" today as opposed to the old Soviet Union. And let's face it, they still have all those nukes. If the president says that there is a cease fire and the troops aren't doing it there is only 2 possiblities. He's a liar & / or he has no control of the military.

I don't think Russia is a real threat for the West right now. Let's not forget that it took the Russians almost a decade to regain full control over Chechnya, a tiny republic in the Northern Caucasus. Russia is the biggest country in the world and Chechnya has the same size as Connecticut. There over 140 million Russians and only 1 million Chechens. So go figure...
Russia is a big joke, they don't know how to run a country efficiently. There's a lot of violence, filth, racism and alcoholism down there. Many Russian men are obese and have a serious drinking problem. It's like planet of the apes down there. That's why the Russian population continues to decrease.
But the Russians and their sub-chimpanzee president want to make a statement and show the world that they are still one of the baddest gorillas in the jungle. So they attacked a dwarf state like Georgia, because they can't lose that war. Needless to say that I'm not impressed. The Russians are playing filthy games in the Caucasus. The war that's going on in Georgia right now is an old conflict. When the Soviet Union collapsed and Georgia declared it's independence, the ethnic Abkhaz people in Georgia's western province of Abhkazia made up only a whoppin' 18% of the population. The majority of the people in that province were Georgian. But with heavy support of the Russians the ethnic Abkhaz mountain people forced the entire Georgian population to leave the province. Between 10.000 and 30.000 Georgians were brutally murdered during this campaign of ethnic cleansing.
There's a very interesting article about this on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethnic_cleansing_of_Georgians_in_Abkhazia Everyone should read this. If you don't want to read the entire article, than only read the testimonies. It's crazy stuff. It blew my mind! Just a little example:
"The local villagers (including women and children) were massacred while the church of St George became the scene of a blood bath.The nuns were raped and killed in front of the orthodox priests, father Yuri Anua and father Andria. Both priests were taken outside of the church and questioned about the ownership of the land in Abkhazia. After answering that Abkhazia was neither Georgian nor Abkhaz land but God's, they were shot by a confederate soldier."
Atrocities like these happened in the 1990's in Eastern Europe, they were committed by terrorists with heavy support of the Russians. That goes to show that the evil empire is still out there. (Quoting Message by TIMBONI from Sunday, August 17, 2008 9:05:53 PM)

-SO RUSSIA IS A BIG JOKE?...THEY DON'T RUN THEIR COUNTRY EFFICIENTLY?...LAST TIME I CHECKED THE U.S. ECONOMY IS IN PRETTY ROUGH SHAPE AND HEADING SOUTH (BY THE WAY THIS TOO IS ALSO BEING STATED ALL OVER YOUR CNN ON A DAILY BASIS)
-THERE'S A LOT OF VIOLENCE,FILTH,RACISM AND ALCOHOLISM "DOWN THERE"??? ...MANY RUSSIAN MEN ARE OBESE/DRINKING PROBLEM....AND THESE PROBLEMS DON'T EXIST IN THE U.S.???...
-RUSSIA HAS SUB-CHIMPANZEE PRESIDENT....YEAAAAAH...OHHH I'M SORRY,I FORGOT ABOUT YOUR GUY 'DUBYA'.........WHO ALSO BY THE WAY IS APPROVED OF BY A WHOPPING 23% OR SO OF YOUR FELLOW COUNTRYFOLK!!!!!....WHO HAS BEEN CALLED ON CNN..."A COMPLETE EMBARRASSMENT ON EVERY LEVEL"
-THE U.S. IS NOT AT THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN...NO ONE IS!!!!!!!!!!...THE HUMAN RACE IS RACING TOWARDS THE BRICK WALL OF EXTINCTION AT A 1,000 MPH,WITH IT'S SEEMINGLY INFINITE STUPIDITY...AND YET CERTAIN COUNTRIES AND SOME OF IT'S PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK THEY'RE HEAD AND SHOULDERS ABOVE THE REST...

INDIA AND OTHERS AS FAR AS WAR GOES...NO ONE COUNTRY IS ABOVE DOING THE INCORRECT THING,SOME JUST DISGUISE THEIR INTENTIONS AND LONG-TERM GOALS BETTER THAN OTHERS.
IS THE ONLY WAY...IF ANOTHER MAJOR CONFLICT ERUPTS,I FEAR MORE THAN JUST ONE OR TWO OF THE PRINCIPAL COMBATANTS WILL SUFFER,MANY,MANY WILL DIE...VERY LIKELY EVEN IN YOUR COUNTRY AND MINE.

Well Some are saying there's Different reasons why the Russians are there. One of them is that Georgia which is a former Satellite State of the Soviet Union wants NATO membership and The Russian Government is Vehemetly oopossed to it because apparently they see NATO as a threat to them and already a few Former Soviet Bloc countries are now NATO members one of them being Poland and another the Czech Republic . Apparently the Ukraine is seeking NATO membership as well.Analysts say that Russia sees that as a growing concern because it's happening right at there Doorstep.Other reasons are there is an oil pipeline running through there to the Caspian Sea which is in Both the interests of the United States and Russia. Despite that there are break away states from Georgia that the Russians are saying that Georgia will not get back these are supposed to be some of the reasons.POSTS: 347 | LAST SEEN: Monday, March 12, 2018 | FROM: Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada/Now Devon Alberta

I am enjoying playing the guitar I received on Christmas Day. I wish I could attend more than one live concert/performance.
Unfortunately I suffer from claustrophobia, so attending concerts with large numbers of people isn't possible or to my liking.
I do however buy your recordings. It is possible to do so without having to like a Band or anything written or said about them.

Yes, you do.. That is where the patience factors in.. If it was that easy, everyone could do it !! Don't expect to rock out Diary Of A Madman in a week or so.... Staying focused on the goal is the key, don't expect major advancements on a daily basis.. If anything, record yourself once a week so you can hear how you progress to maintain positive momentum...
You have to deal with sounding bad in the begining. That was easier to do when we were young.

I learned by listening. I would watch the guitarist to see what sounds he would get and where his fingers were at. I loved the guitar and the sound so much that it motivateed me beyond anything to learn. I would watch glen alot. I would play along with the priest records. Black sabbath riffs are always killer. They make you smile inside when you get the changes down. It takes time. you need to be motivated no matter what. It comes down to how you manage the different techniques with your hands and body. That is a major factor on your tone. And the reasons for weilding the axe affect your phrasing.

I haven't studied guitar playing at all. When I started last December, I just googled for Judas Priest tabs (as well as looked though this sites tab section) and started playing. My friend who was played a guitar for like ten years has taught me a little bit about how to improve my finger dexterity, but nothing else. When I study a new song, I just look at the tabs from the 'net and listen to the song inquestion to get the rhythm correct. Then I'll just go through one structure over and over again until I can play it at least with the same tempo as the original. Then I'll move on to the next part, until I get the whole song nailed.
Mind you though, I can't play any solos at all, as my fingers aren't that fast yet. POSTS: 422 | LAST SEEN: Wednesday, November 26, 2025 | FROM: Finland
Budred,listen to SDBinNY. Just Youtube it and wing it man,blah the guitar lessons....who wants another text book scale guitarist anyways right? I never took lessons but I taught myself by watching Glenn and K.K. but mainly Glenn is and always has been my favorite.
I am not as good as Glenn obviously,my solos are more like a Jimmy Page,Ace Frehley, early 70'sTony Iommi style....I can do a few fast scales ect... without sounding like them if that makes sense so I never got advanced with insane sweeps,insane scales fast as lightning ect....its funny because when I was younger thats what I was aiming for but now I wouldn't want to learn how to get "better' because it would ruin the style I have now because nowadays everybody sounds the same. As how to learn yeah just youtube it and wing it from there.
I unlike some of you guys can't afford guitar lessons. Not to mention the gas to get there.
It would be a twenty mile drive.
I also work full time with varying schedules. I was just hoping someone
would clue me in on a good place to look to start teaching myself.
Glad you're concerned enough to ask though.

Put it first in line and start with the recomended settings for the sound you want. Then experiment for what works best for you. Attack and sustain are the most notable differences you`ll hear.
When you figure out your attack, you`ve made a huge step. It`s dependent on you picking style.
For my level control, I ran it at 60%, it gave me a hot signal that would help keep noise down in the other pedals that made lot`s of noise when turned up.
Sustain, is subject to over kill, it will drag out your passages, sometimes more than you want. So go sparingly on that or turn off the compressor for those passgaes you want to tail off sooner.
Tone, up to you, I ran it 80% for the top end, it can get shrill depending on the rest of your settings along the way.
Compressor`s are great, they bring up the signal as it decays and level`s out the peaks if you get ham fisted. They perform better with the AC adaptors, batteries never last long in them. And the sound change is drastic with a low battery.
I used to leave mine on all the time. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by SDBinNY from Friday, April 22, 2011 7:10:16 PM)

What kind of strings ? That can surely open up a can of worms, kind of like the old "oil" debate!!
Personally, I like light gauge strings (.009-.042). KK uses a .008 -.038 I believe.
And any good brand will done fine... Ernie Ball, D`Addario, GHS etc.
To answer Lady Vail`s question, depends on how often you play them, many factors contribute, sweat, cleanliness of the hands, how the strings are cared for after they are played and so on.
Casual player should be able to go around 5-6 months and still have a decent sound. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by guidogodoy from Friday, April 08, 2011 11:10:07 PM)

With the blade`s on the X2n, definently no difference, the current flow will go the same way on any humbucker no matter it`s orientation, unless the afore mentioned phase is activated.
Even those Strat pu`s I talked about are not built for a specific otrientation for tone, the pole pieces are installed to follow the contour of the "arch" in the strings over the bridge, but it still changes the tone due to the spacing from pole piece to string when flipped.
All modern pu`s are wound by machine, so there`s no way possible to wind them for specific locations other than bridge or neck. And that`s usually accomplished by different strength magnets due to the different oscillation patterns of the strings between the two postions.

Thank you. I was wondering about the location of the poles. I dont know if they are dedicated to specific strings. I had it flipped as a cosmetic mod. I was not trying to change the direction of the flow around the coils. It is a dmarzio DP102 X2N. a creme/ black. the guitar looked cool with the pickup fliped. but i wondered if the PUP was sounding off correctly. anyways i am going to flip it back.

I`d like to add a bit to that there SDB, you mention flipping the poles, on a humucker you are right , no difference, on certain single coils, big difference,some single coils are setup to install with one end of the pickup under the wound strings, those are usually those that have the soild pole pieces in them, like the original Strat pu`s did, now you can flip those to change the tone slightly, Hendrix was the first to do this as he did not reverse his pickups and since he was a left hand player, well you know where I`m going.
Now, you can reverse the current flow in just one of the coils of a humbucker, that is "phasing", usually accomplished by a switch that I`m sure you`ve probably seen many times, will look like a coil tap switch.
This works by creating a resistance between the current flow of each coil, by disturbing this field, this is what creates that funky nasally midrange tone, also typically reduces the output of the pu in question.
Only real issue that may come up by just changing the orientation of a humbucker is the wires may not be long enough to reach into the control cavity. But that would be easy to remedy. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by SDBinNY from Tuesday, December 21, 2010 6:57:50 PM)

Unless the coils are wound extremely differently, there should really be no major difference.. The only thing this really accomplishes is reversing the north/south poles of the magnets, and really should have no noticable effect on anything...

I always had issues with shapes...mainly cos of the weight distribution...example = i love an SG...but u try holding one up...the neck wants to stage dive...as for a 'V' - cant do em...standing up is good...but we all play sitting down at home, unless u stick it into ur thigh there's no way u can play it.

Thanks for the Kudos on setup, I am pretty crafty, but only to a point then I let the real pro`s have at it. But easy on those Jackson`s man, you may start one of those debates you see on auto forums about "which oil is best" !!!!!

I have plenty of lemon oil on hand, I even use it to lube the trem.. I have to polish the frets first, though, will be stopping at Home Depot for some painters tape and finer than frog hair steel wool..
I am not sure if the green is staying or not, it is far from my favorite color. I think I might go for some dark shade of purple with a pearl clear. As for pickups, I have heard a lot of good things about GFS, and they are extremely reasonable, so I may give them a shot first..POSTS: 894 | LAST SEEN: Sunday, January 15, 2012 | FROM: Rochester,NY | URL:http://www.myspace.com/84rhoads

Actually watching Glenn Tipton helped me use my pinky finger for soloing years ago,I can't do solos like Glenn and K.K.'s top-notch-fast stuff or like Glenn's in Painkiller,but I can do something like the solos in Electric Eye...thats as far as I really can go without actually taking guitar lessons or watching a video for lessons ect... I've never watched a video for guitar lessons or had anybody teach me,I've learned all by myself,I do more solos like Jimmy Page,Ace Frehley and Angus Young...stuff like that mixed with some solos that are easy for Glenn and K.K..
But I like playing in the vien of old these rock solos because although Steve Via,Yngwie Malmsteen ect..are all kick ass and thier jaw-dropping excellent guitar soloing is something I'll never be able to do at the same time its something I've NEVER wanted to sound like or being "that good" because everybody sounds like that these days man,I like the old 70's twanggy sounding guitar solos like Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath in the early days,shit like that to me has punch and balls and has more attitude than Yngwie. Glenn and K.K. are top-notch shredders too but they have that old-school punch and balls attitude.
I used to do power chords with my index and ring finger, but I needed to work on my pinky strength badly, so now I do them with my pinky instead.
I'm a rhythm guitarist so I dont have to worry about soloing. :D

You have long fingers.
Try the chord with fingers 1 & 3.
You could try the chord with fingers 1 & 2
It is a good excersize to make the two fret stretch(fret 1 up to a third fret) with Fingers 1 & 2. That stretch is a good setup for soloing.
you get a six fret stretch. start anywhere, 1 finger fret one then finger 2 goes to the third fret. finger 3 goes to the fourth fret. the pinky streches to the sixth fret.

Oh NICE, MM!!!!!!! VERY nice!!! Love the Schecter!!!! Dude, very cool!! Can't wait to hear it LIVE!!!!!!!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! Our guitarist (Hawkeye) uses a blue Jackson that looks VERY similar to your guitar there on the left (Ibanez, right?) His is some Van Halen thingy. He runs a full Marshall stack and it really blares. I cannot comment on those pedal things since I would not know what is what. He uses two onstage as well. I use a VocalPro 2000 (?) for my live vocal effects. I only use it for short bursts of echo in songs like Rebel Yell and such. I hate relying on those things since I feel it takes from the vocal performance when you over do it!!!
We actually blew a main on the PA last show!! THAT is a piss off! $700 to replace it but we really need it. We have a show tonight but will not need our own PA, as the place has their own but we will need ours in two weeks!!! The subs are those B52 deals. VERY powerful as well. Overall , a really nice sound system. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by METAL MELTDOWN from Friday, April 09, 2010 8:20:32 AM)

Very cool, glad I could help. I think the Screamin Demon`s geared for a more high mid tone that makes the harmonics jump out with a smooth low and low mid to give george that creamy overdriven sound he has. It`s a great pu either way.
The X2N is a screamer, very highoutput. Watch the lows, it can get muddy. The X2n should work better with the EL-34 tubes since they are focused more in the mids. On 6L6`s or 5881`s , you may have to roll the low end back and crank up the highs. I`m eager to hear them, let me know when you post some tunes with both pu`s!

Had to give some thought, but if you want a screamer, then try the Seymour Duncan Full Shred or the Dimebucker models. For Dimarzio, try the X2N, all of those are very high output and full frequency pu`s. They should satisfy your craving .

I have also used Dimarzio Tone Zones and the Fred model, but only becaue they were cheaper than the Duncans and I was changing out 4 pickups at once in 2 guitars.But I haven`t ever used the Screamin Demon, not that I don`t want to, just haven`t.
I just couldn`t come to terms with the EMG`s in the Jackson, not bright enough. They had such a high signal strength and absolutely no noise at all, just to dark for what I wanted.
that top is a Flamed maple with a translucent Amber top, just like EVH used for years. This is sort of my tribute to him in a round about way. The neck is unfinished spalted maple, and a smaller radius than the Jackson, but sweet none the less.

The original Dual Rectifiers were only two channel, so that is a farely rare find, I`d work on them on that price though, seems a bit steep for an amp that`s 20 years old, maybe around 1000.00, now is that Canadian or American dollars? Shouldn`t matter since the Canadian dollar is almost equal to ours now.

Its ALSO a good thing, because you learn that it sucks ass, and learn very quickly that basically everything has better tone haha.

I have the FBV Short board. It will be used for the HD 150 head. I want to use it with my computer to control the recording funtions of my line 6 interface / Riff works recording program. I have down loaded the software onto the computer. That is where i am at. Has anyone used the shortboard or any pedal sucessfully to control the recording function with ones Foot?

Joe
Both amps are Rectifier amps, meaning that they use a recitifier tube to control voltage going into the power amp tubes. This gives the tone a somewhat "spongy" sound.Which is a sought after tone., it gives a type of natural compression and doesn`t allow the tubes to quite peak as they would if being run by a "Silicon Diode" aka a capacitor, to control the voltage .
The Silicon Diode will give a sharper tone to the tubes as it`s power reserve is much higher and will not peak like a rectifier will.well, atleast within reasonable limits anyway.
The Road King gives you a choice between the Rectifier or the Silicon diode, the Dual or Triple Rectifier`s don`t. So it depends on what you`re looking for tone wise....Thick and Spongy (Rectifier) or Sharp and slightly more articulate (Silicon Diode)
Note worthy is that most of the influential recordings were used using a "Rectifier" type of amp whether it be an old Marshall, Mesa Boogie or an old Fender. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bazookajoe_666 from Thursday, December 24, 2009 11:41:08 AM)

The next time they are out of your brand of strings, try something with the same string gauge as you normally use. If you are not sure what they are, cut the string size guide out of the package and keep it in your wallet.

Joe There are many ways to hold the pick, you just have to become accustomed to the way you do it , if you change.
The way you have it in the second pic is probably the most traditional way. Rotate the pick to where the point is pointing at the bridge, just leave yourself enough pick to still use. Pointing at the bridge, you have a longer area to pick with, but a much shallower area. This is the way to the harmonics. You still need to pluck the string all the while slighlty controlling the oscillation of the string( not muting). Example.... when you pick the string normally, it vibrates in an oblong but large pattern. By controlling the oscillation, you make the string vibrate in a more unifrom manner that is a much smaller (tighter) pattern. Try to lightly touch or brush the string with your thumb while you pick , it will sound dull at first, but practice and it will come to you naturally.
Now as for holding it at an angle, depends on what type of attack you want. What speed etc.
Experiment is the best thing to do, but don`t be bound by tradiotn, try whatever works for you.
I the tips of my thumb and finger to hold the pick, not the back where the knuckle is.
[Bazookajoe_666] Friday, November 27, 2009 1:10:45 PM
Naa that doesn't help either. I don't hold the pick the proper way. With your thumb and the side of your index finger or even at the proper 45% angle. I do it all backwards.
I hold the pick with my pretty much the whole tip of my thumb, nearly down to the middle knockle. I use the tip of my index finger for the other side, and occasionally my finger finger tip at the same time..
Joe
If you are using a traditinal style of pick (elongated triangle) then turn the pick where the longest part ofthe pick is facing the bridge and use the side to pcik with. It`s got the larger angle which actually gives you less area to pick with making the harmonics much easier. George Lynch does this and you`ve heard how he uses harmonics. I incorporated this into my picking years ago and it really does make a difference. I`ve also changed recently to the smaller Jazz picks(heavy gauge) that have the beveled edges. They work well as they have a smaller area giving the same effect as using the side of the pick. Edited at: Friday, November 27, 2009 8:41:47 AM

I'm still working on my goal of learning all the rhythm parts of Painkiller by ear. I've like 85-90% done.
I literally can't do punch harmonics though, because of the way I hold my pick. So I do fake ones where the natural harmonics are. You just pick the harmonic like regular, but as soon as you do, press down on that fret and it keeps the harmonic tone, so it SOUNDS like a pinch harmonic, but its actually not. I can only do it in certain places, so that second riff in Painkiller is pretty well impossible for me right now haha. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D.

no its not airbrushed. My girlfriend and I went to the local walmart and looked at several fabric patterns. She picked out the pattern on the guitar and I picked out one with skulls.

I wouldn`t go as far as saying the Vetta has more than you will ever ned, even though it does. It`s just you will never need another amp ever again if you`re tastes in music change, the amp will change with you , or think of it this way....it`s extremely versatile!!!
I don`t know about the MkII`s and how they`re controlled. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bazooka Joe from Saturday, November 07, 2009 4:48:12 PM)

Can the MKII do the pedal thing too?

Just get two cabs for it so you can explore in stereo.
I tested one out a few years back and ended up staying several hours trying all the diferent things it can do. And I still didn`t get close to exploring it all.
The Mk II`s are tube, and that is my favorite for tone. But if you want the Vetta, go for it, you won`t be sorry.

I have looked at the Line6 amps and I like them, I had a couple of the Line6 PODS that were good. The first I sold due to it`s complexity, I wanted to do changes on the fly and diging into a menu wasn`t what I wanted. I then went with another lesser POD but it broke.
I now have that Behringer and love it. I `ve found it easy to dial in the tones on the Behringer to work well with the EMG`s in my guitar.
Check out the new Marshall combos, The Haze and the Class5, affordable and all tube.
The class5 only has a volume, bass, mid and treble that`s it!! I think with my DS-1 or my Silver Dragon in front of it , it`ll scream!!
Right now, an amp is a definite after christmas purchase, that is unless I get cold feet again, as usual.
When I was using the BBE,. I used it to enhance my signal after all that processing dulled it up. My EQ was set to boost the upper frequenicies and the level for solo`s.POSTS: 3079 | LAST SEEN: Friday, March 16, 2018 | FROM:
I like the Id of setting the EQ flat. and getting a level boost. I would use one or the other to color the sound. I would use the bbe.
See if the signal boost from the eq sounds good. Maybe for solo's.
The Cry baby is something i dont use much. It is great for trippy soloing or funking riffs. but i never liked the way it colored my sound. they are fun to play with. But just for a while. IMO the wah wah takes over.
The wah was used as a "filter" when it was left half open/closed to give use a mid range cut/boost. to cut through. I like to go for the tone without the cry baby. It is good to have around sometimes. I never start from there.

My first amp WAS my Line 6 Spider 3. It can do anything I want to basically. There great amps.
But out of all the 400+ present tones, they all suck ass except like 4 of them. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by K2M from Friday, November 06, 2009 1:54:45 PM)

Checkout the Line 6Spider amp series. THey are fantastic at simulating the great tube amp voicings.
they are cheap. THey sound great. Tubes rule. Check out line 6 as an affordable option. I has brought me desired results

K2M is right on the BBE, I had one and they make such a difference, really livens things up. I also had the GE-7 that I used to mainly boost my top end for solos.
The HM-2 you have is good, you don`t have to run it WFO, they can be used as an Overdrive . with good results.
At one point I had nearly an all Boss setup consisting of a
Compressor, EQ, Digital Delay, Chorus. I also had a Dunlop Dimebag model Crybaby, Rocktron Silver Dragon Distortion and a Hush pedal.
I still have the Silver Dragon, and I also have a Boss DS-1 that was given to me by a member of the board here. Occasionally I plug into my son`s little Fender amp and use the DS-1. Otherwise I use my newly attained Behringer V-amp 2 with headphones. I can plug in the Mp3 and wail away.

I am making an assessment based on what i like.
JD the Eq in you signal chain is adding that desired extra crunchness.
THe BBE will do the same thing. IMO The BBE will Make your sound Sizzle. Kind of a pro mod additive.
Gives you a modernized crunch. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Thursday, November 05, 2009 5:33:11 PM)

That is the question of the ages!!
Here is a simple rule for what pedal in what order... process your distortion, don`t distort your processing.
The HM-2 should be first the your EQ .
EQ`s are notorious for being noisy whitenoise (hiss), if you put it in front of the HM-2 then your are distorting your noise!!
If you were to have a setup like I once had, .... this is the order you could consider
Compresser, distortion, wah pedal,eq,phaser or flanger, delay, chorus, noise gate BBE or any other type of signal enhancer.
Now that is not something that is set in stone, experiment and see what you like. That was the order of what I had when I was gigging. The wah pedal would find itself after the eq from time to time, not sure why I would change it, just did.
Also, use a regulated power supply, not the batteries. As the battery dies, then even in the off position, the pedal will affect your signal by not allowing it to pass thru properly.
Now, with that said, there are some pedals that offer a true bypass feature when off and then the bad battery shouldn`t mess with your signal.
KK and Glenn both once said that they had pedals in their boards (interview was from the 80`s) that they never used anymore, but didn`t remove them because it may affect their tone . [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by J.D. DIAMOND from Thursday, November 05, 2009 5:38:35 PM)

If you are happy with your tone, put the eq in the effects loop and set it flat with a slightly higher output level for the boost. If you are using it to shape your tone, play with the set up and see where it fits best. Most likely the BBE will be at the end of the chain.

Eminence makes a good speaker and seems to be gaining in popularity, MR. Scary uses them!!! I belive that Dimebag was using them also in the Kranks, but I`m not sure.
I replaced the Celestions in my old Marshall cabs around 1993 or 4 and used the Carvin British series speakers, there was hardly any difference between them and the Celestions.
Get out there and listen to a variety, you never know what you may like.

I do know that some of the Line6amps have pedalboards(as in controllers) you can hook up to them and control your efx and your channel. I`m not sure as to which ones , other than the top of the line models Like the Vetta, now that is a kick ass amp!!!
Pedals should be fine thru the amp, if you have an efx loop, put them there, if not, run them in front of the amp. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bazooka Joe from Saturday, October 31, 2009 9:01:03 PM)

I think for around that 1500 for a half stack is a fair price for entrance into the world of tube tone.
Also check out Bugera, they are owned by Behringer and make clone amps of marshalls and Peavey`s , but they sound very good. I don`t know how their longevity will be, but might worth a look into as well when you`re ready to step up into a bigger amp.

Once I find a reputable luthier, I will inquire of this process. Can`t say I`m familiar with it. PLEK, accronym for something? I guess my lack of knowledge on this one is from using an old school guy for so long, he did everything the hard way, micrometer and crown files!!! But damn he did good work !!

The only difference in construction of the KE2 and KE5 is the binding and fingerboard wood, so that is just a matter of preference. Personally I have really been more into bolt ons lately, so I would go for the KE3 myself. If buget was no issue or someone was giving it to me, I would gladly accept a KE2, though. The JS30KE does absolutely nothing for me, a Kelly should never have dot inlays... [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Bazooka Joe from Sunday, October 18, 2009 11:28:24 PM)

Although you should really set the guitar where it is most comfortable for you, the most common starting point is about where it is when you play sitting. I personally have never liked the can pick your teeth with the trem arm height thing, but I will say it does vary by body style. The radical shapes hang lower than the more traditional for me.
Keep an eye on those strap buttons for a week or two, you never know what may happen over the long run, then check it once a month or so.. Gravity is a bitch, so show it a little respect in this matter....

Hey, SBD. Sorry it took a while. I placed the strap buttons last night and tested them today. I used that one method of putting in toothpicks, since it's budget-friendly (heheh). Except that instead of putting in toothpicks, I used Q-tips . The Q- tip sticks were made of wood, and were slightly thicker in diameter than a toothpick.
I cut off the cotton heads with scissors, and cut the remaining stick to the match the height of the strap hole. I put two pieces in each hole, then screwed in the nails and buttons with a screwdriver. Then I put on the guitar strap, but didn't test it then because it was late. This morning I put the guitar strap (with guitar) around me and let it hang from my shoulders for a bit to see if the buttons will hold, then proceeded to play a couple of pieces of JP tunes (and even got dressed for the occasion!). The result:
SUCCESS!!! Thanks again for the advice, gents!!!!
Before (the day I got it from my nephew this Jan.):
...and after!! You can see the small, silver strap button...the strap itself is black.
Now...my next question: Is there a proper way to stand while playing? How about the position of the guitar as you play it while standing? (Quoting Message by SDBinNY from Sunday, October 11, 2009 8:54:43 AM)

Good evening, guitarists of the Noticeboard. I seek your advice on something. It may be a bit trivial, but bear with me.
My guitar is a Squier, and I love it to death and play it as much as I can. I've been meaning to put on a guitar strap, since my older nephew (the previous owner of said guitar) took it off. I went to the music shop nearby a few days ago and bought the screws and bolts and everything. The problem is that the holes where the screws are supposed to go are too big. It kinda looks as though he pulled them off, or that something's missing. What should I do? Should I partially cover those holes with glue or something and then put in the screws, or what? Any advice is appreciated.

Hey, SBD. Sorry it took a while. I placed the strap buttons last night and tested them today. I used that one method of putting in toothpicks, since it's budget-friendly (heheh). Except that instead of putting in toothpicks, I used Q-tips . The Q- tip sticks were made of wood, and were slightly thicker in diameter than a toothpick.
I cut off the cotton heads with scissors, and cut the remaining stick to the match the height of the strap hole. I put two pieces in each hole, then screwed in the nails and buttons with a screwdriver. Then I put on the guitar strap, but didn't test it then because it was late. This morning I put the guitar strap (with guitar) around me and let it hang from my shoulders for a bit to see if the buttons will hold, then proceeded to play a couple of pieces of JP tunes (and even got dressed for the occasion!). The result:
SUCCESS!!! Thanks again for the advice, gents!!!!
Before (the day I got it from my nephew this Jan.):
...and after!! You can see the small, silver strap button...the strap itself is black.
Now...my next question: Is there a proper way to stand while playing? How about the position of the guitar as you play it while standing? [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by SDBinNY from Sunday, October 11, 2009 8:54:43 AM)

Good evening, guitarists of the Noticeboard. I seek your advice on something. It may be a bit trivial, but bear with me.
My guitar is a Squier, and I love it to death and play it as much as I can. I've been meaning to put on a guitar strap, since my older nephew (the previous owner of said guitar) took it off. I went to the music shop nearby a few days ago and bought the screws and bolts and everything. The problem is that the holes where the screws are supposed to go are too big. It kinda looks as though he pulled them off, or that something's missing. What should I do? Should I partially cover those holes with glue or something and then put in the screws, or what? Any advice is appreciated.

K2M, I have the opening to "One for the Road" figured out. Been practicing it for a while now. All that's needed is to figure out the rest of the song.

SDB is right on the money with the toothpicks or dowel idea. I suggest using some stuff called "Gorilla Glue" to do te gluing with. It is an expanding type of glue but what ever oozes out of the hole is easily trimmed with a razor.Just be careful with the Gorilla Glue, it loves to get onto your skin. It poses no problem just an annoyance. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by SDBinNY from Friday, October 02, 2009 11:17:26 AM)

That depends on how much material is missing. If the original ones just pulled out, I have heard of people gluing tooth picks in the holes around the outside edge, then installing the new strap buttons, but I have my doubts as to the long term viability.
I would suggest you find a craft or hardware store and pick up a piece of dowel rod slightly larger than the diameter of the hole. Drill out the stripped holes to the same size as the dowel (don't go any deeper than the current hole), then glue the dowels in place. Let the glue dry for 24 hours, then redrill the size hole needed for the new strap buttons.

I know, it is difficult to believe that over 25 years later, Randy still garners such a reverence from so many. In that trailer, I think John 5 said it best.
The guy who posted it has posted it elsewhere, but it gets removed almost immediately. Every time he posts it, they threaten to pull the plug on the whole project, but it at least results in a release date delay. Simple fact of the matter is that Peter needs to understand that Randy belongs to all of us now, and it is a posession held in the highest of regards. As soon as I know any further, I will post it...POSTS: 894 | LAST SEEN: Sunday, January 15, 2012 | FROM: Rochester,NY | URL:http://www.myspace.com/84rhoads

Just snagged this locally yesterday.. 2000 Jackson DR3, still has MIJ sticker on the back of the neck...

Exactly my tone. People often ask me if I ever set the amps / pedals to anything other than "80s metal." "Why bother?" my typical response.
