Re: Tom Delonge Stratocaster
sorry about that. anyways this guitar is awesome. ive only been playin guitar 4 4 months now but i love blink 182 and toms my hero. this guitar is sick and im tryin 2 buy it off ebay cuz i really want it. i can play 5 blink 182 songs already and i have a crappy squier strat, so i cant wait 2 get this guitar.
Re: Tom Delonge Stratocaster
: What's up with this piece of junk. Your paying $400 or more for a watered down strat just because of who indorses it basically. If you look on MTV he himself doesn't even play it most of the time. If you want one that bad simply buy a stratocaster (preferably a squier bullet because thier cheap), then take off the pickguard and all of those precious pickups and replace it with one (yes just one) seymor duncan humbucker, then buy a new pickguard to fit that. This will give you an even better guitar than the $400 dollar one because you'll still have tone toggles, for a little over half the price (mabye even less depending on where you buy the humbucker). Although I will say that Seymore Duncan Ivaders are pretty sweet.
Re: Tom Delonge Stratocaster
what is the best deal on a decent strat?
tone pots
Would GT please e-mail me privately about his response to my tone pot question. I went to the digikey web site but couldn't figure out how to get to the correct pots..
wolfgang vs. lespaul
i'd like to find out some of your opinions about a peavey wolfgang and lespaul custom guitars. let me know what you think about the tone and playability.thanks.
Re: wolfgang vs. lespaul
Get the Les Paul, even though gibson quality has gone to the shitter as of late. It is far nicer on playability and tone. Not to mention if you need further variety you can always put in come coil selectors and phase switches.
Re: wolfgang vs. lespaul
Never played a Wolfgang. I bought a 94 white Les Paul Custom on ebay, the action is very low and plays and sounds great for most jazz or rock. If you are into heavier rock (as I am) a Seymour Duncan in the lead spot would be better. Just haven't gotten to it yet.

I'd buy the Wolfgang. Better Quality and isn't overpriced like the Gibson stuff
guitar strings
Hello there, I was curious as to weather classical guitar strings are only for certain guitars or if I can simply slap any kind of strings on my acoustic. If you do need a certain guitar for classical strings it would be much appreciated if you could give some information as to why and what kind of effect may have. Thank you for your time.

you may be receiving this message for the second time. I wasn't sure if the email went through or not.
Re: guitar strings
Strings are cheap. Go out and experiment with some. I can't imagine how you could permanently damage a guitar by testing different strings, gauges, tunings, etc until you find what you like. Don't be ashamed to go to a music store, tell them you're fiddling with getting new tones, and ask for advice. That's why they're there. If they give you any trouble, you'll know where not to spend your money when you need to pay for something more involved than just a new pack of strings.
You weren't, by the way, very specific about what you meant by "classical" strings. Do you literally mean nylon strings, or are you just referring to acoustic guitar strings?
Re: guitar strings
If you want classical tone use classical strings, if you want fender tone use those strings, thats basically how it works.

Marshall amos
Hi my band is entering a battle of the bands competition and we have to use the amps that are given to us. These amps are going to be Marshall 4212 combo's. If anyone has some suggested settings for these amps it would be greatly appreciated as i have never used one of these amps before and there is really no time to muck around with them while your on stage. I'm looking for a kind of metallica/nickleback rock sound with a nice acoustic sound as well although any settings would be better than none.
Re: Marshall amos
Yeah, get the hell out of such a lame competition, or get a good effects unit to run in front of it and set the amp up as clean and neutrally as possible.
Re: Marshall amos
why in hell would anyone want a fx unit in front of one of the worlds best sounding amps?
Just plug in and crank it mate,two mins fannying around with the settings will get u a pure rockin' sound - good enough for Zakk and Angus good enough for anyone!
Re: Marshall amos
I run Marshall and they rock. Try this for your metallica set up, gain at full, channel volume at full, bass at around 7 or 8, mids below 5 and treble around 5 or 6. Use the overdrive or lead channel and if it has 2 overdrive channels then use number 2 as this is where the casscading gain is usually found. If the channel has a scoop switch then use it.

hi chikie, you can not share music on the internet anymore, it violates copywrite laws, so now all you can do is walk around in public humming your songs and hope they catch on.

emg pickups very importent
i have a Jackson ps 6t, and i want to buy emg pickups and i dont know which ones to buy...
im playing metal so the bridge pickup will be the emg 81. what do you think,the neck pickup should be 81, 60, 85 ???
10x
Re: emg pickups very importent
For your purposes, and an extra creamy lead tone, I would go with the 85.
Re: emg pickups very importent
The pickups are active pickups , meaning you'll be switching batteries all the time. Go with the HZ series.
HELP

Re: corpate child's lead singer/lead guitarest
Dude, you're getting a Dean! And have you ever use a spell checker? You may want to before you guys go big time becuz yer speling is ignernt.
What is your question ?
Your band has a guitarist without a guitar, and no drummer... good thing it has a name, cuz thats the most important thing for a good band.
BTW you have to post your question at least 500 times to get an answer, I notice you are about 488 short, so get to work, remember 500 == answers !!!!
