Interesting, I'm thinking of putting a J50BC in my RR24, but don't know still. But your soundclips are a great help, thanks dude!

I got this message on my myspace.



There were some more text about the project, and i just skimmed through it, so i have no idea about the seriousness of the project. Anyone else got this aswell?

Personally though, i think Edge of Despair is the most solid track.

As my 2 or 3 loyal fans have noticed, i haven't been working on any new stuff for some time now, so i hope it has nothing to do with re-recording :p

I think I like Deviance a lil better, but I don't know, EOD is so fucking great :lol: I don't think I'd take that compilation thing. Oh, and BTW, get your lazy ass moving and install recording stuff and record dude, we want more epic stuff! :kickass:

Hey guise, I haven't had the chance to spend my time on COBOT so much, because, I got this job.

At a music store, and I'll tell you it's the best job I can imagine!:D I get to finger guitars everyday, tune 'em and such. Unpack shit and put insane price tags on stuff.
They have quite a selection in Ibanez, and i've literally played all of the ones in the store:lol: Some of them are very good, love the tone, but I dislike the edge tremolo arm placement. Maybe cus i'm so used to original floyd designs.

AND it gives me a shitload of confidence when these people come in and try to shred/play metallica, it's so lol I should videotape it:lol:

Only drawback is the pay, I get like $40 a day. Because it's not a full-blooded job, I work there mainly to get work experience. The boss is a cheap bastard tho:lol: They don't pay me (some other company do) and they get an income of about $220 a month (from that same company). That means they get free work + money. So when the boss heard he had to insure me (about $20 a month) he was sceptical:erk:

I'm also still waiting for my package from Thomann:D Gonna be a recordingfest with the UX1 when it comes!:D

Cool, congrats dude!

I cant wait for the GP-1000II pedal

I'm definitely going to buy one, and prolly sell my rack GP-1000 to my other guitarist for my upcoming band. I cant wait to ditch that rack shit.

So Alexi is apparently getting 2 more sigs next year. o_O More than likely they'll be shite considering they'll be for the US market.

Yeah and I'm wondering about the new alexi sigs too
 
Is it just me, or does this look pretty straight forward and simple construction-wise?

Arvoitus, You could make some big bucks making GP1000 pre-amp clones...
 
Okay so I got antsy when I realized I never took apart my GP-1000 before and looked inside.

In my post above, is a picture of a GP-1000 on ebay right now that is the 87 Fender-mod model (It has the XLR output and has the date 7-87 written in marker on the inside)


My GP-1000 is the "Transitional Model", which I like to think is one of the first '88 models made:headbang: in late 87 with the old chassis (There's no way Lee Jackson was like "happy new years" I'm gonna change my design starting in January 88! lol)

Here is what the inside of mine looks like

Unfortunately since im using the shitty Ebay pic as a reference to the inside of the 87 model you cant really see the details of it very well

But you can definitely see some of the components are different in mine

I just thought this was interesting, maybe interesting to some of you too.

Maybe Mitch or Stonecold or Necromancer could post pics of the inside of their true 88 models to see if there is any noticeable differences between the 88 and the "transitional model"?

AND WOAHHH I JUST NOTICED
on mine, under the second pot to the right in the picture, about halfway down the pcb board there's a blue square with a TRIM POT!
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT DOES! but I don't want to touch it haha

Yeah, the GP1000 is a very easy preamp to copy. Even i could do that ^^
But only 1 problem ... i dont have a gp1000.

Mm, i should calculate the estimated costs for a GP1000 copy, shouldnt be more then 250 euro or something.

I'll whip mine out and take some picture for you. :Smug:
 
I tested the pot, it was just a master volume sorta thing, mine was about 3/4 of the way up, it had no effect on the gain.

Transitional model as well.
 
Ahh interesting, we both have the Transitional model but some of the resistors and stuff look different (I guess use whatcha got?)
I emailed Lee Jackson about the trim pot earlier, so I'll let you know his official reason for it once he gets back to me.

I also tried a shot of Tequila for the first time tonight, absolutely the most vile and disgusting thing I have ever tasted
It tastes like the way moldy trash smells. I don't recommend it to anyone lol

I guess we just have to wait about a month until January NAMM
I doubt Jackson will have much new stuff, we haven't seen yet, they are probably going to do the whole "Oh we put some new models last year and now we aren't going do anything new or update our site for another 3 years" :lol:

It really annoys me with that whole ESP rhoads shape copyright thing.
If I'm right, the true ESP "Alexi" shape is on oversized Rhoads with the cutaway and the comfort curves on the back, You'd think that would be enough differences to get away with it.

I mean they could probably make the US Alexi closer to a Rhoads shape and get away with it. But hell I don't really know jack shit about how that guitar shape copyright shit works.
