Phil, just watched your Taurus Servo segment, and now this episode, FANTASTIC! Just orders the Servo from Taurus. Hoping to receive in seven days. THANK YOU!⭐️⭐️👍⭐️⭐️
Peavey also allowed Eddie to retain the rights to the Wolfgang design (the reason he was able to release them under EVH/Fender). Music Man owned the original design and released it as the "Axis".
Yes, use your ears with Mesa amps. Many of them have eq knobs and faders. The eq knobs are usually pre-gain and the sliders are not (every rule has exceptions). I would roll back the eq knobs some and adjust the sliders to taste (if you have both). Treble control knobs in particular can add gain.
My youth guitar store story was positive. Went in to my local sam ash just to get strings and would window shop like always. This one visit might have been a slow day or whatever but the sales rep let me plug into peavy JSX full stack. I was just a kid first year in high school just enough money for strings but that day marked my life. The amount of volume compared to my line 6 spider combo of the day. Always remember that day.
Hey Phil, I think you're somewhat right regarding the Stranger Things guitar but I think there's an element you're missing. Stranger Things is a huge show. There's a really big number of people that are guitar players and Stranger Things fans. That's the key. When you can combine two passions into one item, people will pay crazy prices. I absolutely hate the warlock design but even I was tempted because I'm a guitar player who loves Stranger Things. That's the key, two loves in one item.
Dean Guitars is the new Peavey in that they just can't catch a break. At least Peavey had the amp department on lock so they were kind of able to stay afloat on that. Man...
The boom in guitar sales during the pandemic had to come to an end someday. I agree with you Phil, it's always the employees that pay the biggest price of loosing a regular income. I have been self employed, and it is not always easy as you also have good and bad times, and after nearly loosing my home due to non-payers and a fall in demand for my trade had to go back to a being an employee again. Life sucks at times, but at the moment the whole world is not in a good place.
When i was in high school, i worked for a city-run recreation park(ski hill, golf course, swimming etc). The manager was the area councillor's son, and was fired for stealing $16k from the parks funds. They printed it in the local paper and it was pretty bad. Turned out it was just another high school kid who learned to forge his signature on blank cheques he stole. Its not always as it first seems.
I think people falling for these scams really need to have a long hard look at how they use the internet. Don’t get me wrong, these people are vile, however everybody needs to take responsibility for their actions. It’s incomprehensible how someone could fall for this.
Give me your SSN. Because I told you to. Kidding. I agree, however, these scammers are getting really good. As someone who is very suspicious and paranoid I’ve been thoroughly impressed with some of these emails they send out to get your info. RUclips is a different story though. That should be obvious.
I just got the guitar . It blows away my cheap 200 Rhodes . I’m a stranger things fan and guitar player . It has beautiful resonance . It’s heavy . I love it . I had a warlock as a teen and a guitar repair man stole it . I’m in love and it would have to be 3 grand for me to say goodbye to this one . I love it . I know it’s not the greatest Floyd and blah blah blah but to me it’s heavenly and I’m in love
Ha I remember those type of stores where the young and eager were not worthy, as you said we were not expected to have money $$, and to be honest most of the time we didn't, but they generalized and missed on the good ones, life lessons...
100% agree with your take on King’s X. Saw them open for Billy Squier and I don’t even remember Billy at all. King’s X blew me away and changed my playing attitude.
One of the top 10 shows I ever saw was Living Colour (times up) with Kings X (faith hope love) opening, in 90 or 91. Me and my friends even ran into the guys from Kings X in the parking lot of the club pre-show, walking back from somewhere, and got to say hey. I still have a pick thrown by Ty during the show with all my concert memorabilia, but it's just one of those green mel bay bullseye picks.
I love my lefty Dean Select V. It is hideous (wife quote), a dream to play, and sounds amazing (to me). I'd get another Dean regardless of the CEO's alleged behavior. Mom's Luna guitars were great for beginners. I hope that all works out well for them. Great show as always, thank you!
Big shout out to Pat Baker, Andrew Barnes, Spider and the rest of the Dean Guitars crew. Your custom shop guitars are the best I have ever played!!!! Thank you for the hours of enjoyment you have given me.
So that bridge your jonesing on from Floyd. Was on my Kramer when I bought it. I bought it in Germany in 1984 or 85. I moved to San Bernardino California in 1986 and took it to a guitar shop to install the locking nut and the fine tuning bridge. And it still has that bridge now. Unfortunately I got rid of the original non fine tuning bridge when that modification was done back then.
Lovepedal/Hermida's Mosferatu is a fantastically creamy smooth overdrive/distortion, although beware as some might find it a little too dark. One of my faves.
The Charvel non fine tuner bridge is a lot better than the Floyd Rose branded one. The arm is like a gotoh 510 trem and it loosens or tightens via grub screw.
the concert that changed my view on gear was Rebelution. the frontman had a Gibson LP into a fender dual reverb and it sounded great. And I never really wanted a fender amp until then.
I went on an Evertune shopping/learning journey this week. I was looking at a used one, and let the buyer beware it's very difficult to tell if the "modules" have been replaced to accommodate unusual string gauges. If you use standard gauges, the guitar will not set up properly if low or high tension modules have been installed. I have an email out to them, because the modules don't appear to be labelled.
Hi Phil, the best mind blowing live gigs were Mark Knopfler and Milky Chance. One is quite famous, and the other is not. But both sounded so amazing with just a few guitars. It was in fact that they serve the music with the least amount of gear they need
Chicago music store was what a music store would look like if Fred Sanford owned it. I haven't been there since the early 90s and everything was dusty back then.
Ty is the ultimate tone chaser. I have followed his guitar sound and it just gets better every album, every year, so on and so forth. I haven’t had the privilege of seeing them live yet. I have most of their albums, including live in London. I think that album is the best sounding live album I’ve heard over the years. It’s massive and powerful. Of course they evolved from there dug got his signature amp rig and I believe a signature bass through Shecter. He has signature mics, blah,blah,blah. I’m not sure Ty has anything that would be signature through any brand, unless Fender did something with him. Or maybe Yamaha a few years ago. I kinda slacked off on gear geekiery of KingsX. I could go on all night but I’ll stop now. Thank you, I got all excited when you mentioned KingsX. lol… 🎸🤓🎸
Was actually considering getting the Kotzen Tele last Christmas. Ended up going for an Am Pro II which was actually a little more expensive. What ultimately swung it was that I decided I wanted something a bit more traditionally tele-like. Kotzen guitar is beautiful, but I don't like jumbo frets and I didn't trust its lack of a tone knob.
@Phillip McKnight, I have a set of the Tronicle tuners you can borrow for the show. I bought them on Reverb a few years ago because I actually like them. They don't require any mods to a Gibson Les Paul, because they don't screw on, the ferrules hold them in place. This way, you can try them out on your Lite and just return them. I can put a return of address in the box. Let me know if you're interested. - Jim
Didn’t Carvin stop production back when they split? Previous to the split I bought a Carvin Belaire tube amp and I still have it. But it just started to act up on me the other day. Although I think I know why. I’ve made some modifications to it and biased it a touch hot. So I gotta get back in it and replace the power tubes and rebias it to a lesser degree so it conserves the tubes and runs cooler. Sorry for all the comments today. You hit on a bunch topics that I’m involved with and I couldn’t help myself. I was triggered. lol…
Music Row 48th St Manhattan, back in the day. Lots and lots of douches, depending on the salesperson you got. I love my local independent store now, super duper nice people.
I beat you on the Virtual Jeff, i had one about 7 months ago. They take some getting used to but they are usable. A tadge expensive but very novel and a great example of emerging tech.
??? Love the shows and that brings me to this question, have you demoed an Ace headless 4 strings Bass guitar? saw a middle price one from Reverb for $649 with individuals string p/u. looks nice but being a beginner player Im still looking for that one.
It really sucks that greedy investors may be responsible for layoffs at Fender.I just got a great 2019 American Professional Telecaster which I really like.That excess $ should have gone back into the company.Not frickin greedy investors.
I have been noticing lately a little trend. Faux Guitar players. Channel creators that talk the talk but cannot walk the walk. i'm not going to mention any names but i will say this one of the channels is trending and the guy cannot play Guitar with any proficency what so ever. There are a few of them some have thousands of subscribers. Thank God Phil here is the real deal, knows his stuff and can play his heart out.
0 I comment all the time I guess I have a reads these comments with those recognize me but you're the best sounding show I ever saw was Emerson lake and Palmer in the early 1970s they were using the and it was an outdoor concert they were using the same sound system that yes use I think it was igc or IGS something like that there where I can't tell you how many track the trailer trucks were there for this sound it was just mind-blowing it was at Washington stadium in New Jersey if I'm not mistaken and the stadium wasn't used as a athletic stadium anymore but they had outdoor concerts and I remember being on the ground floor on the you know on the dirt and getting up close to the sound system of the engineers they were up on platforms pretty high up on platforms but all their boards and stuff like that and I remember just the low tones of the synthesizer going literally on a quadraphonic or more with going like like zccz it's like filter and the whole stadium was shaking you could feel it through your body it was visceral yeah one of the most amazing sound and concerts that I'll I'll never forget I'll always remember I seen you up to so many times they were one of my favorite bands and I saw them you know what the god and I saw them at Yale bowl I saw them in Providence I saw them all over the place but that concert that outdoor concert sound was was something I'll never forget again it was visceral sincerely Bob the blind bedroom guitars
My parents stole 72,000 from me and I didn't sue. I just cut them out of my life forever. I had to be homeless for about 6 months but I ended up being able to keep my job through it and landed on my feet.
@@alexisborden3191 tbh maybe it's just individual perspective but that was one of the least violent things they've ever done to me. it's nothing compared to the years of torment and manipulation and frankly, it was the moment where I decided I was done with this concept of "family", which was incredibly big, empowering for me. I had to sell a lot of gear to keep some other stuff bit I look back on it now. I have a home, a telecaster, a starfire, and a helix and I feel like, for a while, it would have been easy to become a statistic, and somehow, I didn't. That makes me feel awesome. I had to give up a lot to get here but I'm here. I only have about 6k in debt, and I will figure it out! (Other than my mortgage of course) and again, I'm not longer surrounded by leeches and people who were being intentionally abusive to me. It was a costly lesson, but I got through it!
Hey Phil thanks again for the video I know it's this comment isn't completely isn't the guitar related in a sense but it is to since you mentioned family and all that stealing and stuff now I know what it's like I had 175,000 or half of my house I should have a house with my sibling and yeah it cost me $175,000 and I was left but basically nothing and had to move out of the country in order to supply these things happen and the animosity that they bring to between the two you know I didn't try and see her of course you know out of 175,000 that would have been mine and inequity at the time now even with the way things are it would have been over 200 I was left for 10 grand and again I had to leave the country I didn't have to but I did because I couldn't live I moved to another country where I got a lot of help monetarily housing my head cuz I lost the roof over my head yeah you know and now I'm the only one left in my family and I would give all that money if you know in doubles to have them back so you know it was very messy but in the end you know it's a bad emotions and family and hurt and love and all these things that intertwine in a relationship and in the end money isn't everything I've come to that conclusion it's not worth it you know it's just money anyway back to guitar stuff so love you sincerely Bob the blind person guitars PS I thought that Dean lost their cases prior to this with Gibson maybe that was just in Europe I'm not sure or maybe they you know brought it back to court that they what's the word appealed it somehow and one you know part of me is glad because you know making tons of money off of somebody else's designs intellectual property even though Gibson wasn't supposedly you know look it's a big company and it gets that big company rap people love them when they hate them they hate them here and I always thought you know make your money off your own laurels make a new design do something or get permission to make the design you know that's my my point of view I don't I don't want to take away any money or bread out of the mouth of the people that the work for Dean they're always like you said the employees are always caught in the shorts they get the s*** end of it but I don't think he's going out of business right away and yeah you know that's that that's my opinion and I feel the same way with friends the fenders design and intellectual properties I think that that's something that should stay with you a long time when it comes to a patents and the and copyrights I remember that you know reading for myself not school or anything you know about you know I remember about Samuel Clemens or Mark Twain who was very very strong on getting more time you know for his copyrights for copyright protection and I guess Pat and protections he was also trying to invent the new type of press that he spent millions of dollars on back in the 1900s early 1900s late 1800s that never came to fruition you know the actual people that he was working with to do this never came through fruition but then again you know he didn't think that the amount of time allotted to his copyrights we're at long enough and strong enough and I kind of feel the same way he does even though I never invented anything although I tried I tried to Pat and something and it just wasn't patentable so there you go sincerely about the blind bedroom guitar sorry that was so off topic but in a way it's not p
It's beena few yrs ago now but I bought a new blackstar 20watt combo . Store gave a good deal . I was liking the amp pretty good until 3wks after the warranty was up and no warning it died never to play again . Blackstar couldnt have cared less . 2 amp techs said it wldve cost more to fix than buy a new one . Cldnt buy a schematic if I wldve found one . Anyway , i did get a cheap speaker a black box and a chassis tht i keep at the bottom of my pond . Affectionately known as my lil boat anchor . If uv got one and love it uv done good . If not well ,, just a thot .
Dean Guitars… this is what happens when you hand a spoiled brat a business when they have no business running it. Kid doesn’t know his ass from his face. Innocent or Guilty doesn’t matter… he’s still a toolbag. And if you’re even in the situation, or even being accused, it means you’re doing some things wrong.
Dean needs to do something about that ugly headstock on there guitars. i was looking at a Dean in a local guitar shop I absolutely loved the guitars unique body shape and color and how beautifully it played. But the only reason I didn't buy it was that ugly gigantic V headstock! I know it's their trademark but maybe it's time for a change. Or at least another option. I know the purest out there love it.but for people like me it looks tacky and cheap and takes away from the rest of the guitar
Same thought here. I’ve played Deans that I thought played and sounded great, butterface headstock. Same with B.C. Rich. It’s okay to make guitars that won’t embarrass adult players.
Does anyone here have any experience with Blackstar amps- the club 40 to be exact- I think the MKii model? I can nab one right now for 425- I can probably get them down to 375 maybe 400$- is it worth it? It's in great condition- looks brand new almost, I haven't hooked it up or anything but- assuming it all works and it's in great cosmetic shape- 375-400$ ?? I play mostly classic rock, blues, and some heavier stuff like Tool, Metallica, Rush, etc. I own a Strat and a Les Paul- and plan on buying others once I get a good tube amp squared away. I already play through a Peavey Red Stripe Trans-tube Studio Pro 112- but I don't have a real tube amp. I no longer gig but I do get together with the guys sometimes and we jam so- I still play live occasionally. Is the Blackstar overkill maybe? Maybe I would be better served to put that money into a good audio interface so I can start using plug-ins and cab sims and all that stuff I don't understand. But see- the Blackstar has a line out on back with cab sims built in- specifically for recording. Idk what to do.
I build houses in a factory for a living the money is decent ... there's a guy that stated worm a few months ago .. he moves slow like he's never had a real job nice ... well one day he left work early was gone for I dunno a week I seen him in a article in the new for allegedly stealing 650 thousand and a house from his mother ... he's back to work pending the hearing at the end of the month ... who dose that to there mother... like she had a stroke and the had to take over her account she said they demanded but if my mom was set for life after my dad would pass I'd help her she wouldn't have to pay for anything she raised me I'd be happy to help and look after not ... steal and make her broke
You know originally a drama I was a professional drama and I picked up the guitar I thought myself in order to write songs but I would say that led Zeppelin I sold led Zeppelin in 72 or 73 it was the tour that they made the movie and the album The song remains the same I saw them in New York City and then I saw them the same coliseum yeah I mean when I think back I mean that is like one of the Pinnacle concepts of theirs as far as we now concerts I mean look they made that album and movie out of that and I was fortunate enough to see them twice within days and two different venues one in New York City and one in Nassau county Queens I'm sorry nasa county New York yeah I remember I just saw this in a I was asking my mother for $25 to buy a ticket for I don't know if it was both shows so maybe 50 bucks 25 bucks but I know for the New York show somebody with scalping him for 25 bucks and I begged my mother before 14 years old maybe she gave me the money you know but Alexa couldn't imagine her stealing a half million dollars for me lol but yeah that that was really instrumental in drums for me and I guess as far as guitar getting me into guitar even more I was Johnny Winter I saw him in 1980 I guess I think it was the beacon in New York City and I actually met him my friend an older friend was his doctor yeah I ended up I ended up 10 years later going to the same doctor and clinic he did where I saw him I would see him in the office in the waiting room I will talk to him and stuff and I also saw him at many other shows backstage I was always able to get back stay until because my friend was his doctor and he remembered of course you know I mentioned that my friend and but whatever yeah Johnny Winter was very influential and made me look at the guitar totally differently and actually even to play the guitar at the beginning sincerely about the blind bedroom guitarist
Phil, just watched your Taurus Servo segment, and now this episode, FANTASTIC! Just orders the Servo from Taurus. Hoping to receive in seven days. THANK YOU!⭐️⭐️👍⭐️⭐️
The show is a great part of my Friday's. Thankx for hosting, Phil. RAWK!!! 🤘🏼
Peavey also allowed Eddie to retain the rights to the Wolfgang design (the reason he was able to release them under EVH/Fender). Music Man owned the original design and released it as the "Axis".
@@An2oine it wasn’t designed by Ed. He says it was but Yamaha made the same body 19 years prior.
My life changing experience was seeing the Yardbirds in 65' with beck and page!! Next was Boz Scaggs , the Allmans and Floyd all in 1971.
YES! I have a t-shirt that sez: "I may be old, but I got to see all the great bands!"

I've been the guy who brought 8 guitars to a pub gig. :) Many years ago, I'm better now. (Now I bring lots of pedals. :D)
Fender laid off over 200 employees in essence the entire afternoon shift, including some top people.
Man… Dean just can’t get a break.
agree , its sad will never by a gibson maybe a chibson and make it great lol
I guess I'm more surprised that Dean sold $420,000 worth of stuff...
They only have to sell to the guitar store/warehouse and not the customer
For the price they make really good guitars

When the eq on a mark series amp looks totally screwed, it sounds good. Use your ears not your eyes.

It is indeed the best part of the week
That was a funny story about the pretentious store that lost your business. I always wonder how stores like that stay in business.
The nickname for the non fine tuner Floyd is Baby Floyd. I have one on my Anderson. Works great!
This is such fun, cheers!
The virtual jeff in an evertune equiped guitar should be a pretty awesome setup
the concert that changed my view on gear was Rebelution. the frontman had a Gibson LP into a fender dual reverb and it sounded great. And I never really wanted a fender amp until then.

The NFT Floyd with their push-in collar bar (sold separately for $20ish) is maybe my favorite bridge setup right now. Highly recommend.
That company is finished (again). Dimebag's estate is suing them. Gibson have successfully sued them to stop making V, Explorer and Les Paul shapes.
You have two of those pedals? Soon to be one? 😁 Great job! Love your show!

Although I think I know why. I’ve made some modifications to it and biased it a touch hot. So I gotta get back in it and replace the power tubes and rebias it to a lesser degree so it conserves the tubes and runs cooler.
Sorry for all the comments today. You hit on a bunch topics that I’m involved with and I couldn’t help myself. I was triggered. lol…
Music Row 48th St Manhattan, back in the day. Lots and lots of douches, depending on the salesperson you got. I love my local independent store now, super duper nice people.
I beat you on the Virtual Jeff, i had one about 7 months ago. They take some getting used to but they are usable. A tadge expensive but very novel and a great example of emerging tech.
??? Love the shows and that brings me to this question, have you demoed an Ace headless 4 strings Bass guitar? saw a middle price one from Reverb for $649 with individuals string p/u. looks nice but being a beginner player Im still looking for that one.
Damn it Phil, just get the bridge already and review it. I completely dislike my Floyd Rose 1000 bridge and the nut locking system is garbage.
Taurus Servo = BBE Sonic Maximizer?
It really sucks that greedy investors may be responsible for layoffs at Fender.I just got a great 2019 American Professional Telecaster which I really like.That excess $ should have gone back into the company.Not frickin greedy investors.
looks like i got lucky with my dean select 7string on sale last year on what seems to be pretty much the last chance to get one.
Please share the word filter thing to other RUclipsrs, this scam thing is a plague!
Interesting amount.
Hahaha... Rainbow Guitars is still like that. "By appointment only".
Try a Wilkinson bridge.
You moved the EART Explorer....when will we see the video on it?
"Let go"? Shouldn't Dean's former CEO be getting prosecuted?
Can confirm got a deal on a purchase from sweetwater by calling and asking.
I sold my bc rich warlock ST for $2100. Not a bad investment
we all know that feeling of when you say something stupid, can't imagine anyone with any life experience who doesn't.
Does anyone know the video that Philip talks about the ibanez roadstar?
I have been noticing lately a little trend. Faux Guitar players. Channel creators that talk the talk but cannot walk the walk. i'm not going to mention any names but i will say this one of the channels is trending and the guy cannot play Guitar with any proficency what so ever. There are a few of them some have thousands of subscribers. Thank God Phil here is the real deal, knows his stuff and can play his heart out.
surprised Dean had that much money to be stolen
If gas prices don’t come down soon I’ll be selling a few guitars and amps and whatever else I can bear to part with at this point.
0 I comment all the time I guess I have a reads these comments with those recognize me but you're the best sounding show I ever saw was Emerson lake and Palmer in the early 1970s they were using the and it was an outdoor concert they were using the same sound system that yes use I think it was igc or IGS something like that there where I can't tell you how many track the trailer trucks were there for this sound it was just mind-blowing it was at Washington stadium in New Jersey if I'm not mistaken and the stadium wasn't used as a athletic stadium anymore but they had outdoor concerts and I remember being on the ground floor on the you know on the dirt and getting up close to the sound system of the engineers they were up on platforms pretty high up on platforms but all their boards and stuff like that and I remember just the low tones of the synthesizer going literally on a quadraphonic or more with going like like zccz it's like filter and the whole stadium was shaking you could feel it through your body it was visceral yeah one of the most amazing sound and concerts that I'll I'll never forget I'll always remember I seen you up to so many times they were one of my favorite bands and I saw them you know what the god and I saw them at Yale bowl I saw them in Providence I saw them all over the place but that concert that outdoor concert sound was was something I'll never forget again it was visceral sincerely Bob the blind bedroom guitars
Rubinson pissed everyone off in the guitar industry. Like…EVERYONE. Sounds like the Dimebag estate is moving to GIBSON!
My parents stole 72,000 from me and I didn't sue. I just cut them out of my life forever. I had to be homeless for about 6 months but I ended up being able to keep my job through it and landed on my feet.
That’s awful. Glad you’re ok.
@@friedrudibega6384 thank you so much! It ended up working out.
Ok but you should have sued, they forced you to be fucking homeless. I think that qualifies as violence, effectively denying you shelter for 6 months.
@@alexisborden3191 tbh maybe it's just individual perspective but that was one of the least violent things they've ever done to me. it's nothing compared to the years of torment and manipulation and frankly, it was the moment where I decided I was done with this concept of "family", which was incredibly big, empowering for me. I had to sell a lot of gear to keep some other stuff bit I look back on it now. I have a home, a telecaster, a starfire, and a helix and I feel like, for a while, it would have been easy to become a statistic, and somehow, I didn't. That makes me feel awesome. I had to give up a lot to get here but I'm here. I only have about 6k in debt, and I will figure it out! (Other than my mortgage of course) and again, I'm not longer surrounded by leeches and people who were being intentionally abusive to me. It was a costly lesson, but I got through it!
If he embezzled that much, he should be charged criminally.
Hey Phil thanks again for the video I know it's this comment isn't completely isn't the guitar related in a sense but it is to since you mentioned family and all that stealing and stuff now I know what it's like I had 175,000 or half of my house I should have a house with my sibling and yeah it cost me $175,000 and I was left but basically nothing and had to move out of the country in order to supply these things happen and the animosity that they bring to between the two you know I didn't try and see her of course you know out of 175,000 that would have been mine and inequity at the time now even with the way things are it would have been over 200 I was left for 10 grand and again I had to leave the country I didn't have to but I did because I couldn't live I moved to another country where I got a lot of help monetarily housing my head cuz I lost the roof over my head yeah you know and now I'm the only one left in my family and I would give all that money if you know in doubles to have them back so you know it was very messy but in the end you know it's a bad emotions and family and hurt and love and all these things that intertwine in a relationship and in the end money isn't everything I've come to that conclusion it's not worth it you know it's just money anyway back to guitar stuff so love you sincerely Bob the blind person guitars PS I thought that Dean lost their cases prior to this with Gibson maybe that was just in Europe I'm not sure or maybe they you know brought it back to court that they what's the word appealed it somehow and one you know part of me is glad because you know making tons of money off of somebody else's designs intellectual property even though Gibson wasn't supposedly you know look it's a big company and it gets that big company rap people love them when they hate them they hate them here and I always thought you know make your money off your own laurels make a new design do something or get permission to make the design you know that's my my point of view I don't I don't want to take away any money or bread out of the mouth of the people that the work for Dean they're always like you said the employees are always caught in the shorts they get the s*** end of it but I don't think he's going out of business right away and yeah you know that's that that's my opinion and I feel the same way with friends the fenders design and intellectual properties I think that that's something that should stay with you a long time when it comes to a patents and the and copyrights I remember that you know reading for myself not school or anything you know about you know I remember about Samuel Clemens or Mark Twain who was very very strong on getting more time you know for his copyrights for copyright protection and I guess Pat and protections he was also trying to invent the new type of press that he spent millions of dollars on back in the 1900s early 1900s late 1800s that never came to fruition you know the actual people that he was working with to do this never came through fruition but then again you know he didn't think that the amount of time allotted to his copyrights we're at long enough and strong enough and I kind of feel the same way he does even though I never invented anything although I tried I tried to Pat and something and it just wasn't patentable so there you go sincerely about the blind bedroom guitar sorry that was so off topic but in a way it's not p
It's beena few yrs ago now but I bought a new blackstar 20watt combo . Store gave a good deal . I was liking the amp pretty good until 3wks after the warranty was up and no warning it died never to play again . Blackstar couldnt have cared less . 2 amp techs said it wldve cost more to fix than buy a new one . Cldnt buy a schematic if I wldve found one .
Anyway , i did get a cheap speaker a black box and a chassis tht i keep at the bottom of my pond . Affectionately known as my lil boat anchor .
If uv got one and love it uv done good . If not well ,, just a thot .
Which model of Ibanez was he saying is just like the PRS Mira?
I’m kicking myself for not buying and flipping one of those warlocks. I had one in my cart ready to go. Grrrr…
@@Ottophil how much do you think he’ll make?🤪
Dean Guitars… this is what happens when you hand a spoiled brat a business when they have no business running it. Kid doesn’t know his ass from his face. Innocent or Guilty doesn’t matter… he’s still a toolbag. And if you’re even in the situation, or even being accused, it means you’re doing some things wrong.
Pop goes the Kiesel!
Dean needs to do something about that ugly headstock on there guitars. i was looking at a Dean in a local guitar shop I absolutely loved the guitars unique body shape and color and how beautifully it played. But the only reason I didn't buy it was that ugly gigantic V headstock! I know it's their trademark but maybe it's time for a change. Or at least another option. I know the purest out there love it.but for people like me it looks tacky and cheap and takes away from the rest of the guitar
Same thought here. I’ve played Deans that I thought played and sounded great, butterface headstock. Same with B.C. Rich. It’s okay to make guitars that won’t embarrass adult players.
agreed! ugly headstock ruins the guitar!
Dimebag trademark..love it..
I’ve had the same Experience with rainbow guitars, very douchey personalities, but they’re the only high end store around anymore
Does anyone here have any experience with Blackstar amps- the club 40 to be exact- I think the MKii model? I can nab one right now for 425- I can probably get them down to 375 maybe 400$- is it worth it? It's in great condition- looks brand new almost, I haven't hooked it up or anything but- assuming it all works and it's in great cosmetic shape- 375-400$ ??
I play mostly classic rock, blues, and some heavier stuff like Tool, Metallica, Rush, etc. I own a Strat and a Les Paul- and plan on buying others once I get a good tube amp squared away. I already play through a Peavey Red Stripe Trans-tube Studio Pro 112- but I don't have a real tube amp. I no longer gig but I do get together with the guys sometimes and we jam so- I still play live occasionally. Is the Blackstar overkill maybe? Maybe I would be better served to put that money into a good audio interface so I can start using plug-ins and cab sims and all that stuff I don't understand. But see- the Blackstar has a line out on back with cab sims built in- specifically for recording. Idk what to do.
My buddy has one and we play A LOT of rush and blues. Sounds fantastic and often I’ll play it with no pedals or anything 😊
the accusation also called an allegation is ACTUAL the conduct is alleged or allegedly done by the accused
I build houses in a factory for a living the money is decent ... there's a guy that stated worm a few months ago .. he moves slow like he's never had a real job nice ... well one day he left work early was gone for I dunno a week I seen him in a article in the new for allegedly stealing 650 thousand and a house from his mother ... he's back to work pending the hearing at the end of the month ... who dose that to there mother... like she had a stroke and the had to take over her account she said they demanded but if my mom was set for life after my dad would pass I'd help her she wouldn't have to pay for anything she raised me I'd be happy to help and look after not ... steal and make her broke
420...nice!
You know originally a drama I was a professional drama and I picked up the guitar I thought myself in order to write songs but I would say that led Zeppelin I sold led Zeppelin in 72 or 73 it was the tour that they made the movie and the album The song remains the same I saw them in New York City and then I saw them the same coliseum yeah I mean when I think back I mean that is like one of the Pinnacle concepts of theirs as far as we now concerts I mean look they made that album and movie out of that and I was fortunate enough to see them twice within days and two different venues one in New York City and one in Nassau county Queens I'm sorry nasa county New York yeah I remember I just saw this in a I was asking my mother for $25 to buy a ticket for I don't know if it was both shows so maybe 50 bucks 25 bucks but I know for the New York show somebody with scalping him for 25 bucks and I begged my mother before 14 years old maybe she gave me the money you know but Alexa couldn't imagine her stealing a half million dollars for me lol but yeah that that was really instrumental in drums for me and I guess as far as guitar getting me into guitar even more I was Johnny Winter I saw him in 1980 I guess I think it was the beacon in New York City and I actually met him my friend an older friend was his doctor yeah I ended up I ended up 10 years later going to the same doctor and clinic he did where I saw him I would see him in the office in the waiting room I will talk to him and stuff and I also saw him at many other shows backstage I was always able to get back stay until because my friend was his doctor and he remembered of course you know I mentioned that my friend and but whatever yeah Johnny Winter was very influential and made me look at the guitar totally differently and actually even to play the guitar at the beginning sincerely about the blind bedroom guitarist
