Booya 999 from bass central... I love it. Really comfortable coming from a 5 string spector. crud junction fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Mar 27, 2007 |

Just dropped $660 on an Ibanez BTB456QM today. There are no words for the love that I have for this guitar. Adding to my slowly expanding collection of stringed instruments... now I just need an amp that isn't poo poo.

What is this? It looks like a regular precision bass but with an extra pickup from the Big Block Precision. The fourth knob leads me to think it's active? If it were passive I would love to purchase one of these to replace that humbucker with a Dark Star. Regardless, it's a great looking bass.

It's an awesome setup though. I think the OCD runs on 18v right? I think the PP2 can put out 18v.

Right now it's at 12v (along with the tube screamer) while I'm waiting for the y-cable that will let me chain two 9v ports together. But it sounds better at 12 than at 9... I can only imagine how awesome 18 will sound.

I can only imagine how awesome 18 will sound. I've been told that running the pedal at 18v increases the headroom and contains the same sort of gain texture you would get if you were to seriously crank your amp. Something that a lot of dirt pedals suffer from is totally flubbing out when you crank your amp, but the OCD at 18v is supposed to retain a low-volume quality as well.

I recommend this pedal highly. Buy it, you know you want to.

Not really a big item in terms of hardware, but I just had a Graphtech nut installed in my MIM Strat. Replaced the 7-year old stock nut with this baby. The guitar plays so much better now, it is like night and day. I never would have thought a nut would make this much difference! My tech even let me stay and taught me how to file a nut

Engine Fortegue posted:How would you say it's playability has changed? I've been wanting to get the nut replaced in my prs tremonti The sustain is better compared to the stock nut. Hardcore bending not longer causes the guitar to go out of tune after a while, either. The strings ringing longer is definitely something I've wanted for a long time. Doesn't the Tremonti come with a graphtech nut already? Edit: My bad, aparently there are 2 Tremonti models now. Tremonti SE and the Tremonti Signature series.

That's pretty badass! The only thing I'm not fond of is the position of the input jack. I've always hated them on the Flying V's as well. Might I ask what something like that costs?

You can loop your cable through the strap and it stays in place pretty well. Plus I think the top would look a little "naked" without the jack there. It's 695 shipped with a hardshell case. We got hooked up with a dealer who posts on the Dean web forum and got the ball rolling. It's taken a year for them to get it right. The first batch came out orange, which turned alot of people off. The red on this one will be better, but I would have liked it much better. Engine Fortegue posted:What can you tell me about deans? I know some people that swear by them but I haven't really gotten it yet. Why do you like them? I wont lie and say taht I'm in no way influenced by Dimebag's choice in guitars. However I think every musician wants to play thier idols guitars. Another thing I like about my Dean ML is the SIZE! I'm a big guy and guitars always feel kind of small to me. When I first got my Dime ML I was like "drat! This thing is gigantic!" and I havnt looked back. Unfourtunatly Dimebag has made the ML famous as its the only type of guitar he played for his entire career. I dont want to live in Dime's shadow and be labled a Dime sheep, partialy why I'm selling my Randall X2. I dont let it stop me, but its always in the back of my head. I think I'll continue buying ML's until I can find another guitar that just feels the way these guitars do. I hope that is good enough. I'm not a real technical savy person when it comes to my instruments, I just know what feels good to me. I didnt like Les Pauls and I always had a thing for V's and extreme shapes. The ML caught my eye and the V looks and plays better than a Gibson. I dont want a plastic pickgaurd taking up 90% of a gutiars top.

My next purchase is going to be a Korg KP2 Simply because I love the sound and what you can do with them, and I can't afford a KP3. Hoping to pick one up for around £120!

I often want to get the same sound, but as far as the same body style, color, whatever, I've just never really cared. Then again, I'm not really a "guitarist" so much as a songwriter who plays a lot of guitar, so I guess my view of guitars is more utilitarian.
