I live in Columbus and I had planned on going to this show for a month, bought a new guitar, and I couldn't get anymore money to go, I guess I'm lucky I didn't, I'm not a mosher, more the guy that tries to get to the front, especially because I wanted to see dimebag tear it up. I have a friend who worked at the club (she quit after that) but I guess that monster that killed everybody climbed a fence and burst through the door to get in. She saw the gun and tried to grab for him, but couldn't reach, another person, Nathan Bray, saw him too, and he got ahold of him and the guy shot him in the face. Then he rushed the stage. The local news interviewed some of the killers former friends who said he went to one of their houses like a month ago and he was talking about Pantera stealing things he wrote. Yeah this guy is a nutjob and I'm glad he's dead. Because if there is a hell, he's suffering, he's getting what he deserves.

Rest in piece Dimebag, your music will live forever and you will never be forgotten as a musician and friend to many people. I know this event just makes me want to play guitar more and more, it's the LTD I spent my paycheck on that may have saved my life because I could have been one of the people in the front row to have been murdered. it sends chills down my spine. Rest in piece.

I need to remove them because I'm putting a different bridge on, it's a solid mahogany body, but the inserts are too small for the other TOM posts, and they are in there extremely tight.

Hi, I was working on a les paul for a friend of mine, been doing this for a while, but I've never run into this one, I'm not quite sure how to remove the tune-o-matic bridge pieces that the actual bridge screws in there, sorry, that's about the only thing that I don't know the name of. I think it's the post, it's either that or the post screws into it. I just want to know how to remove them without damaging the body.

I have the zakk lows, got them by mistake though, wanted to get the normal ones but got the low tuned ones. the box is the same minus the code on the 2. I was shocked when I got home and found what looked like bass strings. but I like them.

why pay the extra money to have warmoth do it when you could do it yourself? There is a tutorial on doing the countour heels on Jems and RGs, but I'm sure you could figure it out for a paul.

good luck

I always used a very small amount of goof-off and a paper towel, always worked fine for me and never harmed the wood.

well uh...what kind of work do they need? please specify.

That's one nice axe you built yourself. Keep up the good work!

as for the neck reinforcement, another thing you could do is what Parker does to their guitars (I'm not exactly sure on how it's done), they put a coat of carbon/glass on their bodies and necks for a lot of extra strength and it works real well.

He's wearing a GG Allin shirt. Cool.

You know there are more brands than those four. I'd go with Parker.

I didn't like any of them, the 1st one looks the best in terms of playability, but that horn was eh. Then the other horns looked okay, but how are you going to reach all of those frets with ease?

Well as long as you have like it and have fun with it, then go for any of them.

Yeah Maestro, Symbolic is my favorite work too. It's one of the few albums I can listen to over and over again and it never gets old. All of their stuff is good though. I didn't like when Chuck formed Control Denied though, good music, but the singing ruined it for me, I need that good ol' Chuck Schuldiner growl.

I know of James Murphy, I can't wait for the Death tribute to come out (it's in benefit for James' medical bills.)

The greatest thing about Chuck is that I don't believe he ever truly died because he lives in every song he's ever written, every one I listen to for the billionth time sounds brand new. I love it.

Chuck Schuldiner of Death composed all of their music, and I feel that his guitar skill is unmatched.

RIP Chuck

Goldeneye baby. Goldeneye.

I had a method for removing frets, I used it on my old bass and it worked great. If you have a dremel, put on the grinding attachement, set it on the highest power and grind on the top of your fret, the fret heats up and then you can easily use plyers to pull them out. I didn't damage my fretboard at all, but then again, I took a lot of care to insure I didn't damage the fretboard. You could do that then fill in the slots with something, or you could just remove the whole fretboard and put a blank ebony fretboard on it.

Yeah put on a wilkinson. That's what I have on my Parker and I love it!

I want to do a finish like the BSB Brian did in the tutorial (really nice job) It looks great, but I'm not a big fan of blue too much when it comes to guitars, I'd rather have a dark, rich purple, So which Minwax purple would be the best looking?

Parker dude, Parker, you can't leave out Parker.

I was wondering if anybody has seen any of the basses made by Jens Ritter, some of the stuff he's made is really crazy, like the ball bearing tremelo system.

I've used some of the stuff they had and it was pretty rock solid. Good stuff for the price. Owner of dragon mountain is a pretty nice guy too.

I'd have to say The Undiscovered Numbers and Colors by Foreign Objects. You won't find their CD in stores, but you can find the MP3 in various places, killer stuff.

It's alright, the description was enough for me.

Thanks for the tips, it's going to help me out a lot, it's a new neck, only about 3 years old. I can't wait to see what the finished product will look like.

I was wondering how I would go about removing the frets off of a fender neck. I mainly work on guitars so I have never taken frets out. I'm building this bass for a friend out of his old parts, so I wonder how to take the frets out without damaging the wood, after removed I'll be replacing them with acrilic fret markers, just where the lines are, and instead of the dot markers I'm doing X's, I saw them on a jackson and thought it looked cool, so I'm doing it to this. I'll post pics when I finish.
