Guitar Player's Thread

And who are you talking to? And why are you physically incapable of putting those two posts into one? There is an edit button.
 
Any of you guys have a recommendation for a good quality rack mounted tube power-amp that's not super overpriced?

I've been using a peavey classic 50/50 but one of the channels has broken on me for the 2nd time (I only use one but I'd rather have both working)
The thing sounds great but I just think it was cheaply built.

I was looking at carvin's but It lacks a resonance control and the fact that it doesn't have separate power switch for each channel turns me away from it.

I might just have to keep getting my peavey repaired lol

VHT and ENGL are way too expensive but they seem like the only other companys that still make tube rack poweramps

I'd be willing to try out solid state stuff too if it sounds good (It would probably save my wallet and my back some too lol), my local guitar store has lots of SS rack power amps from the 80s.
 
I actually decided not to buy an Alexi and instead I purchased an RR24 with the red stripes :D It looks soooo fucking sweet.

And, does that mean that Alexi was using a Randy Rhoads signature guitar while he played at concerts? Coz I dont know many guitarists that used someone else's signature guitar while performing... Still... The Jackson Stars J2SP is such a nice guitar.

Congrats, I have the same and I love it :)

About Alexi and his guitars, Randy Rhoads is the name of those offset V guitars Jackson has, named after Randy Rhoads himself. Custom means the guitar was made under the specs the buyer told jackson, it's not a production model and it's unique in the world. Alexi got the Wildchild RR 2nd hand and the Stone RR from one of Stone guitarists, and then I don't know where the green pinstriped one came from, but may have been ordered by Alexi himself.

Model is Randy Rhoads, but it's not signature, it's just that Jackson named the body shape after the guitar player. Alexi's were custom made and unique in the world.

indeed, tell that to rusty cooley

Rusty has amazing chops, but I don't like his style. Broderick or Loomis or PG or Romeo or Petrucci are much more musical than him and when he goes hiperspeed it doesn't sound good at all (and it's not because of the speed, Petrucci does that too sometimes but he manages to fit it pretty well in the songs).
 
Haven't tried that one, but tried Kerry King's replica (the cheap, bolt on, no floyd one) and besides the input jack (I despise how it's built) I remember it beeing ok. But it's not smaller than Alexi's guitars though.



Oooh look at me, I go by topics but I've never tried one!

Yes, the AL600's lower wing is indeed a lot longer than usual, but I have an RR24 and I've played the AL600 and the size difference is by no means so noticeable. Yes, lower wing is, but overall is not, and ESP necks are really nice (tried Roope's too, and damn was it awesome).

Plus the ESP SV has the same shape as Alexi's actual guitars, not with the extra long lower wing.

Bash when you know what you're talking about, don't jump on ther banwagon just because everybody does.



RR stands for Randy Rhoads, yes.

Alexi's guitars were custom but didn't have many stuff, so I guess 4000€ each or so to get replicas of those. And 8-12 months wait. Seriously, I don't think it's worth it. If shape/looks is what interests you, get the RR24, it's a sweet guitar. And if you want top notch, then go for the USA RR1 or, if you want the 24 frets, for the King V (USA too). The body isn't that big, trust me. Not an RR, but not huge.

i tried one of 600 at my locale guitar shop,and i didn't like the shape,well if someone gave it to me for fee :D
 
anyone have opinions on the Bugera 6262 or 333xl aside from the realiability stuff which seems to have been fixed? I think I may pick up a 6262 combo soon but I can't try a 333xl.
 
OFFTOPIC



I bet you had to fucking google what an Explorer was, didn't you



:lol:

Randy Rhoads designed the guitar, it's just named after him, it's not his signature. And seriously, you could only think of Alexi/Roope as Rhoads users? lrn2diversemusictaste

To the first thing related to google, no i didnt. i actually have pics of it on my computer. and i USED to like that guitar, not anymore.

and to the second part about the RR, i only knew about that guitar coz of Randy himself and Alexi n Roope. Whats the big deal?

I don't think it's released yet. That is the american site, btw. In case anyone had their doubts.
old news but its nothing like the COOL sv's lol


and who the fuck is saying guitar lessons are stupid? you are obviously a retard, they help you SO fucking much, i personally have learned basically everything i know by myself but when i did take guitar lessons sporadically i improved a shit load in a short time

and WTF!!!!@imacrapguitarist44

those "right hand tapping" things are called HAMMER ONS AND FUCKING PULL OFFS, everyone uses them. god you must actually have no idea how to play the guitar, hence your fucking name
 
When did the jackson stop producing the "Jackson Stars J2SP"?

And anyone can still get the same guitar that Alexi used to have. You can customise your own guitar (like Alexi did) and choose the design, specs, etc. I tried making one for fun, and it was exactly like the guitar that Alexi used. So its been discontinued, but instead you have to specially order one if you want it.. At least thats what I think... Correct me if im wrong.

And holy shit!! MitchD17's guitar is like the fucking defenition of "AMAZING". Im so gonna make a custom that'll look exactly like Alexi's when I have enough money ;D Its the most beautiful thing ever.
 
I seem to remember jackson not allowing people to order custom's to alexi's exact specs, even without the pickups and booster.
Some policy about not making artist replicas customs, which doesn't make sense to me since he's not endorsed by them anymore


besides custom jacksons are like $6,000 nowadays and can take up to a year and a half turnaround

What if you were to order something differnt, lets say the pick-up, just so it isnt a replica, then you were to go out and find the pick-up that Alexi used, would that work? Or wont they put on the headstock "Jackson Stars" or something permanent?
 
idk I remember on the jackson/charvel forum a few years ago some people were trying to get custom shop replica's and they couldn't get the exact specs/design even with different pickups. Jackson wouldnt even be able to put those old pickups in a custom because they don't make them anymore.


I could be incorrect though, Nazgul would know
