  1. I haven't been here for quite a while... The reason I come once in a few months is to chek the progress on this guitar (and another RG neck-through:))... All I can say - W O W ! ! ! Is there a blueprint in Download Section of this guitar? Anyway, man, congrats!

  2. there are 2 possible meanings to Mullmuzzler's question.

    Bertbart answered according to 1 meaning.

    the other meaning would be: the wire is still attached to the trem, but broke at the other end.

    if so then you will want to connect it where all the other ground are, at the back of the volume pot.

    here's a link to the diagram:

    EDIT: oh, i see i posted just before me, Mullmuzzler. good luck.

    Yes, this is the problem...

    OK, thanks, guys, I'll solder this thing up and I'm of to rehersal... We'll see if it's done properly...

  3. I wanted to disassemble my guitar (a 1991 Ibanez RG550 model, all-stock: original pickups, trem, switch, pots) to clean it up a bit, and my pickguard feel out with all wires connected to electronics on it... The thing is that a wire that is attached to trem springs part on the back of the guitar... it fell off and I don't know where should I solder it onto... please help, I need this thing working cause I have two practices for this weekend. Dumb question, but this is ground, isn't it...?

    Haven't checked this site in a while...

    Thanks in advance!!!

  4. Alex, hi!

    It's been a while since my last post around here... I was really glad to see a PG member over @ Carvin forums.

    I'm from EU too, so I know that this price thing stinks, big time... I can get Legacy for around 900 euros, which is a little bit more (well, 200$ more or so, but what the hell...).

    I ditched V3 mainly because of that fizz that it has...

    I'm thinking about Legacy more and more, but ENGL came to my amp-range with the Powerball... Also, Framus Dragon seems like a great amp. They are all around 1500 euros, more or less...

    The newest ENGL is a 4 channel monster called Invader. They'll make it in 50, 100 and 150w version. This I gotta try!!!

    Anyway, sorry for the long-ish and kinda-off-topic post.

    BTW, man, that's a great CorelDRAW drawing. CorelDRAW is a great program, isn't it? Lately I've been using Pro | ENGINEER WildFire 2.0 for 3D solid modelling...

    I'd pick a Hughes & Kettner TriAmp mkII, but it's not on the list...

  5. I think he drops the trem with his left hand, plays a pinch harmonic with his right hand and slowly lets go of the trem.

    Yeah, that is how I tried to do it... I mean, it worked, but wasn't the same... I guess I'll have to try the third octave harmonic as Gorecki suggested...

    And his FRED can make harmonics out of the baseball bat!!! :D

    Thanks!!!

  6. David Gilmour is one of my favorite guitar players of all time. His calmness and sense for tone and melody is unequaled.

    You gotta get the Gilmour EMG setup to go with it, it's awesome!

    Yeah, AND you gotta shorten the whammy bar to get that genuine Gilmour strat look and feel. :D

    Great work! Love the bricks...

    Pulse would be awsome, but rather difficult to acomplish, I think...

    I'm planning a Gilmour strat for myself for quite some time, but with a twist: instead of solid color, I'd hava a translucent red on alder, DG EMG set and Willkinson trem instead of vintage Fender 6-bolt type. Maple neck is mandatory...

    Sorry for the hijack...

  7. Man, these pedals are really cheap! Whole line is between 22 and 45 Euros incl. VAT!!! I don't know...

    After reading this topic, I've got a whole new perpective on Behringer (and BOSS, too!). Now, you've got me thinkin'... V-Amp Pro is around 200 Euros, but if they didn't *make* it in the first place (just "borrowed" its tech), that's more than a fair price for a average-wallet-thicked guitar player.

    But, it is wrong to steal anything, even if there is a hole in the law that one might use. On the other side, policy of (literally) ripping off people with outrageous prices through decades (look at the current PC world market: every computer bought new should be priced at 50-100$ instead of 1000$, but let's not go in there... :D ) and dictating market is also VERY, VERY wrong (at least from an average consumer's point of view). UUMMMPFFFHGHHHH!!!

    1....2....3....

    Sorry for the aggro...

    As far as pedals go, I think I'll stick with tried and true stuff, like Dunlop wahs + BOSS and Ibanez pedals modded by aNaLoG.MaN and Robert Keeley. These modded pedals are a bit steep, but if you tried one of these... I'm sold. Then again, I would like to get my hands on Behringer's Virtualizer. Its price is 126 Euros incl. VAT.

    I mean, with a great amp and one or two modded pedals, digital-under-150-Euros-processor is a simply an embelishment, moderately applied, right? Well, in my book, at least.

  8. Heres a sound clip I found of the amp (I dont have any recording stuff because my computer sucks):

    Definately not the best guitarist, but what the heck:

    http://www.mv2media2.com/mp3_request.m3u?m...y_13_2006_1.mp3

    Man, thanx for the soundclip. Nice sound, very nice. One thing I have discovered during my "quest" was to have an amp with separate tone controls for each channel. I think that having master tone controls narrows you to use one chanel and a pedal, cause tone settings for clean and dirty are more often different than equal (in my experience, at least). This amp has really gotten my attention... The price is OK, but MusicianBuy do not ship internationally, which is a bummer, cause I need it shipped to Europe. MusicianFriend ships internationally (I think), but the price is higher (50$)...

  9. @bohoo2u:

    This Traynor looks interesting... What is the difference, besides appearance, between YCV40WR and YCV40? I cannot seem to find it in any store near me. I would like to know how it handles blues clean and drive, as well as modern drive sound without any pedals?

  10. Randall has two separate channels. BUT... It's made in China. I dunno... Hot Rod's made in USA, or...? H&K is made in Germany, as far as I know (or I am SO wrong). I read somewhere that Hot Rod has more power and that its distorsion comes earlier as you turn the gain, at around 3, instead of 6 or 7. What is the story about the amp wattage and saturation? :D

    BTW, the price difference goes like this:

    Fender Hot Rod Deluxe = 660 Euros

    H&K 20th Anniversary = 650 Euros

    Randall RG50TC = 535 Euros

    H&K is the only one that doesn't come with the footswitch. As far as the footswitches go, Randall's gotta most rugged one + it has 4 switches... Dunno... I'll have to check a Marshall or two, just for comparison, since Randall has that kinda tone...

    Haven't tried (yet) Peavey's Valve King 112. This one's in the neighbourhood of 600 Euros.

    Can you recommend any good sites about guitar tube amps and tone, amp reviews ...?

    mullmuzzler | OSSMT

  11. Randall RG50TC seems great! I've tried it and, in my opinion, it has more punch and more in-your-face sound than Hot Rod. The store is getting Peavey Valve King and H&K Edition Tube in a couple of days, so I'll try them out later this week, along with Randall.
