Of course I could not resist the urge to go back and see what it might have been. It was a Jackson DXMG. A little rough around the edges but in pretty good shape. It had not been played in years. Has 2 EMG passive humbuckers (Hz) and a crappy Floyd Rose wanna be. Also had the Jackson plastic hard case with it.

I'm in a 3 piece band and I'm the singer and the guitarist. along with be there's the usual set up of bass and drums. We play grungy punk music but we're progressing and I'm looking to fatten out my sound. I think I need a loop pedal f or this but I'm not quite sure on the mechanics and what type. I'm looking at BOSS pedals because I know they're good but am I over looking something else? Will I need to program what I want at the beginning of every song..? Sorry I don't know a lot about loop pedals and I'm sure I'll have to ask about other things on here too! Is this the best way to fatten out my sound so I can play about with lead on top? I hope I make sense! Cheers!

Please check the myspace link below for futher informations and samples. The record contains roughly 70 minute of music. Some of it is heavy, some of it is mellow and most of it is weird, out of the ordinary stuff. If you like to try something unusual (be it good or bad), this one might be for you!

One of the things I'm thinking about is a custom Tele through USA Custom Guitars. I'd appreciate any thoughts: I already have a pickguard, which is a slight vintage off-white. I had it made by Pickguardian and it's nice. I also already have Kinman pickups which have a control plate (chrome with knobs and everything) and output jack. Body - Korina or swamp ash. I'm leaning toward swamp ash. I'm looking for traditional tele tone, but I wouldn't mind something like korina to thicken it up a bit. My current tele is swamp ash and I really do like the harmonics and stuff. Also planning on a contoured heel, probably not a tummy cut (thinking about though). Body finish - I was torn between a transparent wine dark red (a la Les Paul Studio) and black, but I was thinking the oxblood (a la Jeff Beck's signature Les Paul) might be perfect. Neck/fretboard - Maple neck with rosewood fretboard. I'll do a satin vintage tint for the finish. Tuners - Locking is a must. Planet Waves has the auto-trim option that's pretty cool. I also like Sperzels and their satin chrome option. My reservations on Sperzel is that they are higher mass. I'm open to Gotoh as well. Bridge - I'm leaning toward the vintage ash-tray style from Callaham. The vintage styles have that lip on them, which I think would get in the way, so I'd rather this style: I'm open to the modern style, but I'm afraid it will interfere with that tele magic. Callaham is also really expensive, and maybe it's worth it. Anything comparable, vintage (yet lipless) that might deliver for less? Now, my control plate is chrome, but I think I do want satin bridge and tuners. Any thoughts if that will look odd at all?

I like to play stuff from AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, Metallica, and all that sort of stuff. I need an amp with enough gain for the metallica, but still with some sort of AC/DC sound, I want enough bass so I don't have to have the bass on full(I want a lot sometimes), and i'd like the amp to be from 30-50 watts. The main thing I want is bass, and a reliable amp. I've heard good thugs about the VOX Valvetronix amps.

I looked at a bunch of guitars off of this site 'tradetang.com'... Now obviously, right off the bat I know they have to be copy guitars. Even if they are offering you a guitar at a wholesale price, there's no f#%@#* way they can sell me a Steve Vai JEM, or a hollow body Les Paul for, what? Like 300-400 bucks? I've read mixed reviews on various forums on this site (tradetang.com), most of them on guitars, bad. Does anyone know about this 'company', or of anyone who has tried a guitar from them?

I think it even emits a cleaner tone with less noise than Carr's Rambler model, which Carr describes as being their higher headroom amplifier. The Goodsell Custom 33, 2 x 12" and Super 17 Mk111, 1 x 12" also produce good, clean and truer tones than other amps, and are also quieter than most Fenders I have used. Moreover, I have yet to be impressed with the clean and overdriven sounds from MESA, but have found some clean sounds to be appealing from a less expensive Marshall DSL100MLBK1 Special Edition half stack. Likewise, the overall sounds from a Bogner Duende, 1 x 12" speaker, combination amplifier, and Hughes & Kettner and VHT half stacks were not impressive and mostly harsh sounding. Admittedly, I have not spent an extended and exclusive time playing via these amplifiers, but even my positive attitude during first use did not help me to find them appealing. Do musicians think there is a point of diminishing returns among amplifier claims, expectations and usage? More extremely, if one affixed a MESA or Bogner emblem on a much less expensive amplifier, would most people notice a sound difference, even allow themselves to notice a difference, or refuse to allow the famous nameplate to rest on its laurels?
