Winter NAMM 09! (new gear porn)

[006]

SRV signature Fender Strat (not a production model until his death, IIRC, but still...)
Rhoads model from Jackson
Dime's models from Dean
Hendrix amp/cabs (borderline?)
Krankenstein
Marshall Rhoads head (this one is borderline as well)

Lots of companies cashing in on deceased artists. But, these are all things that were around when the artists were alive. Dean, IMO, has gone too far with this one...

Dean continuing to cash in on a dead man's legacy? Blatant Randall rip off? Does anybody care if it sounds good?

I'm curious about whether this means Krank's deal with Dime has run out...

I dont think it really sounded like Dimes tone.
Sure, it sounds like an solidstate amplifier with loads of attack and gain, but thats not all that there is to it.
The clean sound wasnt even a little bit close.

I think Dime is twisting in his grave over this dude that he thought was his friend, that is just using his name to sell stuff.

So now days i just see Dean as a moneysucking douchebag who makes plywood guitars with neat decal flames.

... By the way, was i the only one to notice that he played walk wrong(And the guitar was out of tune.)?

Nope it was really painful to watch/listen to.

Haha, I'm surprised that guys on a metal forum are advocating for the cutting of a beard. J the TyranT, the beard isn't as thin as you think. If anything, the front doesn't get as bunched up as it does beneath the chin, so it looks a little thin along the edges in the picture. I could model and photograph it at different angles if you would like me to provide illustration for my argument, but... Nah.

lmao. fair enough bro... you should edge the ends back in then so it doesnt look as thin. just saying.. it obviously doesnt matter, lol

 

[J the TyranT]

BTW. That Dean shit is weak.. fuck that amp.

AND: Who the fuck is this Metal Sanaz? Where'd this girl even come from?

Who the fuck is this Metal Sanaz? Where'd this girl even come from?

I have been wondering the exact same thing for a long time. I know she likes metal and has a zillion friends on Myspace, but that's all I know.

 

[Sloan]

how is she METAL?
does she hold the secret of the RIFF in her 'tang?

WE GOTTA KNOW!!!!

Haha, same here. She's like the next Juliya or something. Pretty much everyone I know has her on their friends list, myself included because I auto accept all adds on the Backmask MySpace page as well as my personal MySpace page. She added both years ago, along with thousands of other metal-related profiles.

I honestly think that's the whole thing behind her "success," she got some decent photos taken, put them on MySpace, and added a ton of people. She's definitely striking, looks attractive in photos, not really my type, but I think a lot of metal dudes think she's ultra hot or something, and probably hit her profile any time she adds new photos.

I know, it was more a mockery of how plastic their guitars feel then what they really are. ;P

They also have the new "Krank Classic." I'm actually pretty impressed with their new amps this year. That bass amp has piqued my interest for sure.

 

[J the TyranT]

[MetalJonesy]
