Disturber

Go for it! I think I paid about 800 Euros for mine, that would be a little more in dollars I guess. Even if you'd pay 1000 dollars for that one I'd consider it a good deal. My T62 is the best strat I've had yet, and it's a keeper. The price tag from when it was new is still left on mine, on the trem cavity cover, I think it says something like 2100 dollars.

We all hope that we one day once more will have custom orders built by you guys! Great work!

Congrats. I like everything about it, (except for that under arm that is air sprayed on the front. They should have stayed with just the checker board pattern....)

Here's my board that I set up recently. It's a Warwick rock case that I bought used. It has a built in power supply for 9 and 12 volts. And a loop. The case it kinda big, but it's really well built. Thanks to Carfish7 I got neat Lavacables for it too. The Loopbone Big Shot is a great buffer unit with a booster function. You can set it so that your tone is almost identical to when you plug straight in to the amp. The AD80 is a great analog delay, very warm and tube/tape like, the DOD flanger has been with me since 1984. The Fulldrive and the Catalyst are both among the first 100 built, both sounds great. The Small Stone and the Coloursound are funky. There is also an Ibanez 10 series Loop Selector. Both loops can be boosted and it has a built in buffer that sounds better than the buffers in my Boss pedals, it's fairly transparent and does not colour the tone. http://s105.photobucket.com/user/disturber/media/Annat/PedalBoardDisturber_zps51b2b356.jpg.html'> I just need to attach some fresh velcro to some of the pedals and perhaps tidy up the cables.... I also have an old 1970's Electro Harmonix Memory Man Deluxe, a 1970's EH Zipper and a 1970's Phase 90 that I use. But they come out for recording mostly. I don't keep them on the board.

I have a new car. We'll not 100% new, but it's new for me, ha ha!

No, only KFC chicken - the sponsor.

Email or message me. Steve, I sent you a PM yesterday re 2 books. Please check your inbox.

I choose string gauge more on how the guitar sounds than if it's easy to bend. Sometimes 0,10's sound to distinct and harsh on a perticular guitar, then I go with 0,09's. My T51 likes the 0,10's, my T62 likes the 0,09's - that's when they sound best.

I used 0.09's all the time until about ten years ago when I switched to 0,10's. During this year I started using 0,09's again on some guitars. I use nines on the T62 and on the Super Pro. And sometimes on one of my Sunbursts. I get a really Jimmy Pagey sound from that Sunburst with nines. I still use tens on the other guitars, but I'm experimenting. I think that nines work better on 25,5 guitars, and tens on the 24-3/4 scale fiddles. But it's like pickup and magnets really, some guitars seem to work best with nines or tens. I guess one could try thinner or thicker strings as well but these does it for me. As for strings I have been using Daddario XLs or SIT's. I have bought Pyramids round wound nickels lately. Very nice strings, made the way they did them back in the 50s.

I feel for the guy, but I can't stop laughing.

That Tinted Windows CD with Bun E Carlos and James Iha sure has some rockin' guitar solos - over some great power pop songs. Check it out.

Most expensive was the Hamer Korina Standard that I bought new. I'll loose money when I sell that one, but It's so great I'll only sell if if I'll stop playing completely. Then I bought a used 4-digit and a Sunburst that I'll probably be able to sell for more than what I paid for them. It will probably even itself out in the end. If I don't take them all with me to the grave. Then my sons will have to deal with trying to figure out what this bloody crap pile of guitars are, and move them if they want, or keep them if they want.

Does the poll mean "expensive" as in what I expect the value to be if I sell it (some kind of estimated market value)? Or the amount of money I paid for the guitar?

Yes, the sets are pretty well matched, which is very nice. I don't know if the base plates made of brass sound different. I can't really hear it. I had a Hamer Dimarzio PAF I bough from Gino that he had mounted on an old Duncan base plate. I didn't hear that one sounding any different. And I switched that back to an original Dimarzio brass plate, to my ears the pup sounded pretty much the same after. But I think some say the brass plate gives the pup more mids. Might be one of those rumours, like you need a wooden splicer in a paf to make it sound real. And preferably a wooden splicer from a specific type of tree type, (can't remember what Gibson originaly used). That to me sounds like total bollocks. THen again, there are those who claim a paf can only sound like a paf if it has long mounting legs, like the old Gibson pafs. Short mounting legs apparently changes the tone....

I talked to Dimarzio some months ago regarding getting a set of 36th Anniversarys closer to Hamer PAF specs. However, their "custom shop" is not nearly as good as Seymour Duncans, where you seem to be able to order just about anything you want - just as long as it isn't double cremes. Dimarzio refuses to sell me a pair of 36th Anniversary that are un-potted. The original Hamer paf's are not potted, that is a very important ingredient to the sauce. I don't know why DImarzio refuses to do this, (actually I think I do, I think they are afraid that If I buy them and they put them through a rectefier amp and they squel, that I will complain on their product quality on forums like this. They don't want that. Non potted pups are not for high gain, I know that). None the less, it's not customer friendly and was a huge turn of for me for buying new Dimarzio pickups. Here are the outputs on my old Dimarzio pups: 4 digit Standard bridge - 8,51 neck 7,50 4 digit Standard bridge 8,73 neck 8,24 79 Sunburst Custom bridge 8,87 neck 8,40 79 Sunburst Custom bridge 8,22 neck 8,17 82 Schenker Vector bridge 8,43 neck 7,72 (sold) 86 Sunburst bridge 8,45 neck 8,28 If you want a more exact version of the old DImarzio PAF:s you should try to order two original DP103 Dimarzio paf pickups, wound with slighty more mids and to the output specs above. That would be more correct. AND if possible un-potted, and also on a Dimarzio BRASS base plate - as the originals. Even if you go with the 36's check if you can order them with the brass base plate instead. I think you still can put an order with them for the original DP103 paf, they are just not a catalogue item anymore.

I know of a friend to a friend who had sex with Pink. The bastard.

Agneta Fältskog from ABBA. She's back. This is the first single:

This definately does not look right. NAM guitar my ass. Beware. It looks like shit too. I wonder if it's been drilled out for that nasty EMG bucker.

Pretty much what I said, Greg. Glad I'm not the only one who feels this is an appropriate response. That is beyond shit-house rat crazy fucked up. There is no plausible excuse for that shit. I'd have beaten the little fucker within and inch of his purple life. Jail time or not, I'd a beaten him so he'd remember the pain that comes with being a complete and utter douche bag. Still, this is like nothing to what Ozzy and Sharon have done to Ozzys band members etc in the past. Taking them out of the old records on re-releases, replacing their played parts with newly recorded parts from new players, treating Jake E Lee like shit, humiliating deal offers to Bill Ward so that he refuses to be in the BS reunion etc, etc, etc. Same with Van Halen and the Anthony thing, photoshoping him out of old record covers etc etc. Johnny Ramone, stole Joey's girlfriend, he was also a nazi etc. Joey never forgave him. Far worse than breaking a guitar in my book. There are lots more old rock farts out there that deserves a good hard fist in the face. Just saying....

Pandemonium is on my All Time Greatest Albums list. It's all killers, no fillers. I've seen Prince live perhaps five times, but never The Time. Would love to see them. They released an album a year ago under the name The Original 7ven. It's actually as good, or even better, than anything Prince put out in recent years. It was released on a smaller label though, so I don't know how much it sold. Check it out. It's called Condensate. The original line up.Jesse, Monte, Terry, Jellybean, Jimmy Jam.

Here're some gaps in my awareness... Got'ny anecdotes along these lines? Here's the story. It's well known, Jesse has confirmed it more than once: http://www.princevault.com/index.php/Shockadelica " Shockadelica was released as the b-side of If I Was Your Girlfriend, the second single from Prince's ninth albumSign O' The Times. The 12" version of the single contained the original full-length version, which was edited down for the 7" single. In 1993, the edited version was included as the tenth track on The B-Sides compilation (included as the third and final disc on The Hits / The B-Sides). Initial tracking took place on 16 September, 1986 at Prince's Galpin Blvd Home Studio, Chanhassen, MN, USA (two days after Coco Boys) after hearing that Jesse Johnson's forthcoming album was titled Shockadelica but had no title track. Prince felt that every album with a great title should contain a title track, but it seems that the song was not intended for Jesse Johnson, and was instead more of a joke to give the impression that Jesse Johnson stole the title from Prince. Prince sent the finished song to Jesse Johnson on an audio cassette. The track was premiered on Minneapolis radio station KMOJ a couple of days after it was recorded (a few weeks before Jesse Johnson's album was released). The song was included as the fifth track on the aborted Camille album (credited to the pseudonymCamille), and Shockadelica was intended as a single to be released around the same time as the album. The track was included as the first track on the third disc as the Camille album developed into the triple-album Crystal Ball. On both albums, the track was followed directly by Good Love. Both tracks were removed when the album was eventually pared down and became Sign O' The Times. " He also fired Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis from The Time because the took production work for other artists. They did some songs for SOS band and got caught in a snow storm, which led to a missed gig with The Time. Prince fired them after that incident. They didn't exactly suffer though, as they continued to produce Janet Jackson and other major artists.

As always when posting a list, something will pop up in my head that should have been on it, as soon as I hit the "post it" button. But here it goes, these are the names that come to my mind as of right now: RnB / pop: Aretha Franklin Betty Davis Rosie Gaines Nona Hendryx Bettye Lavette Brenda Russell Etta James Beyonce Whitney Houston Christina Aguilera Gwen Stefani Alicia Keys Lisa Lopez, Rozanda Thomas, Tionne Watkins aka TLC Rock / Country: Chrissie Hynde Kate Pierson Cindy Willson Susanna Hoffs Stevie Nicks Deby Harry Joni Mitchell Linda Ronstadt Heather Nova PJ Harvey Sheryl Crow Natalie Maines Lucinda Williams Dolly Parton Loretta Lynn

He got me too, the muthafucka! Show of hands.... Who actually thinks I'm joking? I'm not. But it was fun as hell anyway, either way.

Listen, His Royal Badness rrrrripped it up on the guy's axe and thought, "This scrub will never be able to match my awesomeness if he played it for the rest of his life," so he probably figured he owed it to the guitar to end its life while it is still on that high. It's like when Jerry Lee Lewis sets his piano on fire. No one is going to rip it up like The Killer after that, so the piano should be burned. Now did I hear someone say: "AMEN"! lolz Seriously Kiz, I came to work today and got the news that a colleague passed away last night. Your posts in this thread totally made my day.
