I saw dio this year in santiago ... a *very* good show ... a very humble person it seems, he puts a lot of him into the show and he played plenty of his rainbow material - as well as his 80ies metal stuff. havent heard anything new from him in a while, tho ...

IMHO, the setup you find on the "Rainbow-on stage" album is the best he had, w/ Ronnie James Dio, the "incredible" Cozy Powell, tony airey (?) ... and it also seems that Blackmore/Dio were a heck of a songwriter team ... being both somewhat "mystic" ... - 16th century greensleves - still I'm...

I like my Ibanez rack stuff just for that reason ... simplicity!!!! I get like 8 or 9 pedals out of it w/out tons of patch-cables, dead batteries and all that cr@p :-) and did I mention that its vintage :D cheers alfred

thats fancy for ... well ... glued on ... :D and neck thru means that the central axis of the body = the neck

dont lough at me .... Danny Cedrone Bill Haleys first guitarist ... (he died fracturing his scull walking (slipping) on an icy street) just listen at that friggn solo in "rock around the clock" ... I doubt there are many of the self proclaimed shredder-kings that could play it as clean as...

hey, did I mention that I have an ORIGINAL thomas Organ Cry Baby, with "stack of dimes" inductor - made in chicago? ... thats about as sweet as it gets unless you have your right foot on an original Vox 846 :-) cheers! alfred

wrong ... the holy truth is that the one on e-bay was owned by jimmy hendrix who gave it in ´74 to Neil Young to record "Heart of Gold" with it ... Neil eventually passed it on to Tom Petty and died soon after for reasons which yet need to be explained :D thats the story and I´m sticking with...

hi there, I might trade in one of my guitars for a Fender Mustang ... I am frank to admit that I know very little about them ... can you help me? is this a jap or a MIA? original or re-issue? anything you know about them ... how do they compare to a strat in terms of sound? ... I am...

no, your'e not :p but thx for starting this interesting thread ... I hope I can get something out of it as well :D

that si something typical for SOLID STATE amps, as they clip "late but extremely hard", whereas tube-amps clip "early but soft" but what ggunn says is true ... its easier to blow a 100w speaker with a 50w amp than the other way round cheers alfred

I guess 90% of japanese guitars made before 1970 are junk ... lets not forget .... "made in japan" in these times is like "made in china" today + they did not have half the guitar builiding knowledge the chinese or indonesians have today. the whole picture changed after the big dogs got into...

I got my sovtek Mig-60 lead head loaded w/ bob's "JJ" stuff ... and people normally fall on their backs when they hear the dirty channel ... it screams CLASSIC ROCK !!!!!! (just think of "the who - live at leeds" sound :-) I live outside the US where marshalls are not that common, but yet i...

hi there ... does anybody have any experiences with this acoustic? ... or any thoughts ... the good ... the bad ... the ugly???? thx for sharing alfred

CGCFAD -> drop D CGCFAC -> double drop D (1st and 6th string are both a tone below regular)

but lets not get overboard here in terms of Fender Quality either ... a strat is a wooden plank and a "regular quality" neck attached to it by means of 4 screws ... ther is really NOTHEN on a strat that commands HIGH quality ... the wood is industry standard, so is the neck, ditto the...
