  1. Ok Jim - time for some pics from the show
  2. It looks pretty bad and will likely impede your ability to play at your highest level. I will offer to take it off your hands at no charge...
  3. For some reason I thought he tapped it as well - but no. Here he is playing it live:
  4. I'm sure it was bought for a nice price. As soon as it's provenance is confirmed, interested parties should be able to find it listed in the For Sale section...
  5. Chris- this would not be a part of the 1st and/or 2nd runs. This is a custom order to be done after those two are completed and delivered. Not worried about discounts or batch-ing. If I go with a Shishkov, it's gonna be custom all the way; from scale size, to features, to the finish. No point in doing it if I can't do it my way... Perhaps a reverse 4-digit headstock?
  6. I know the Tally does not have a true Fender scale... The Tally isn't a true Fender scale? I have a Tally and a Tally Pro - I was under the impression they are both 25.5 scale guitars. Is it just the EM Tally that isn't a true Fender scale? Here are the Tally specs as stated on the Hamer site: Body: Ivoroid Bound MahoganyTop: Curly MapleTop Configuration: Arched ChamberedNeck: MapleFingerboard: RosewoodBridge: Hamer Sustain BlockScale Length: 25 1/2"Fingerboard Radius: 14"Fret Material & Dimensions: Hamer Wide Oval: .100" x .050"Body Lgth/Wdth/Thcknss: 16.6" x 13.4" x 1.85"Neck Shape / Thickness: V Shape, .950" - 1.0"Inlays: Dot, 1 VictoryNeck Joint: Dovetail Neck Pickup: Double D, Custom Single Bridge Pickup: Double D, Custom Single Electronics: 1 Vol, 1 Tone, 4-Way Blade Tuners: TonePros Keystone Headstock Overlay: Ebony Nut Type/Width: Bone, 1.650" Case: GC4-0
  7. Super stoked. I imagine Mike will know exactly which quote mine is without even looking at the name...lol Hope it's doable...
  8. Just submitted a quote. Let's get this party started! Those interested in one of The Ultimate's, you won't find a better deal on the planet... Just submitted a quote. Let's get this party started! Those interested in one of The Ultimate's, you won't find a better deal on the planet...
  9. Yes.10 Top 40 Singles: KISSsingles.jpg Like I mentioned early, I have never met a good musician that was inspired by Kiss past the age of puberty. I know a few KISS-inspired musicians on this board who would likely shred your nuts of with their playing; that's good enough for me... Just not you, your big brother. Edited to say: It's not even worth it...

  11. I think this is mainly a semantic argument at this point. To say Ozzy was a great singer and Ray Gillen was not seems backward to me. I am not claiming fact, but my opinion. Ozzie is the perfect person when countering generic. His voice is clear, appealing, unique, and pitch perfect. I have yet to hear anyone that sounds like Ozzie, same with Jake and Viv, they all had distinctive style. So this is semantic, but I could probably find singers similar in tone and timbre to Gillen and few if any that sound like Ozzie. I guess you either love or hate Ozzie, but the dude has some pipes. has unique phrasing and melodies.and that perfect pitch sound is awesome. See how many Gillen singing melodies you have memorized vs Ozzie. Just want to make clear that I believe both those guys are good, but not at the top tier level. Jake and Vivian's bands might have been more successful if they had not been in their prior bands. What?!??!? Ozzy? Pipes? Perfect pitch? I'm not an Ozzy hater but I never thought I'd see those terms used to describe his singing! Strong pipes and hitting notes. Not to mention the distinctiveness of his sound. Come on! Are you serious that you never heard that associated with Ozzie? My conclusion is that Ozzie makes it sound too simple. Find me a Ozzie Cover band in the meantime, let's see how easy it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbwxGBh-AbE You do realize that is a dubbed vocal right? Was it processed? You would be deaf not to hear the stereo layer. Not sure if it is done with a live effect or later, but he's singing live, so what? He tapered this down during the next few years, but I like it. Do you not see any greatness in the melodies that Ozzie puts on top of his music? If not, we just have different ears for music. Just out of curiosity, what were your favorite bands growing up. Some influences. Someone here can correct me if I am wrong on this, but I believe the dub was done post-concert. It seems a relevant point to make as it appeared you were using that clip to underscore your point of Ozzy having strong pipes and hitting notes... There are several live Ozzy clips others have posted that demonstrate a much different result with regard to hitting notes and such. This isn't an indictment of Ozzy - I am a fan - Black Sabbath through Blizzard, Diary of a Madman, BATM... My favorite bands varied growing up - Anything from Zeppelin, AC/DC, KISS, Van Halen to Earth Wind & Fire. Influences are WIDE ranging and include artists known more for songwriting (including my favorite bands) and others known more for instrumental work... Kiss, that figures and I don't debate talent with people that worshiped Kiss. This isn't really much of a debate and I do not worship KISS or any other band for that matter...

  14. I would have love to worked with Ray Gillen - that dude had a killer voice and Lou Gramm is a phenom...
  15. Say what you want, but playing those licks that clean is no easy feat... I am surprised to hear how clean he is playing the riffs and solos with a dry-as-sand tone... New found respect...
  16. Sounds really good - there for a minute I thought that was Brooks on the guitar...
  17. Lookie there - it's Stone Cold Steve Austin on the geeter...
  18. In line with the Japanese Metal and pinch harmonics - here is a band I first heard back in 88 and was blown away with their guitarist - nice pinch harmonics in the rhythm and in parts of the lead.
  19. Yah - Akira Takasaki can flat out play - nice phrasing... maybe Nuno heard him a few times
  20. Speaking of Sykes - the 1987 version of Crying in the Rain had some nice pinch-harmonics during the main riff. I used to love fucking around with that riff...
