  1. if you need the pickups NOW id say go for a SD, but if you want a great sound pickup that is a great price go with a Bill Lawrence L-500xl but i do know that the wait can sometimes be a while but thats what you get when you order great pickups like bills
  2. I have a L-500 and i tihnk the clean sound is nice...just back off the tone a lil bit add some reverba dn bam youve got some nice sound but i will agree that it is one of the best lead pickups ever....and if im correct wasnt it what dime bag used and SD ripped off to make the dimebucker?
  3. I was just lookin around stewmac and noticed that they now have build your own pickup kits for humbuckers adn single coils. I didnt knwo if anyone else had seen these adn thought ppl might liek to check them out http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_p...kups:_Kits.html
  4. at first i thought there was someithng on the top of the guitar but then after looking at the other pics i realized it was just reflectiosn. its very nice and simplistic i liek that wih guitars.
  5. How exactly did you get such clean edges on the stripes. I am currently working on a EVH style paintjob and the test scraps are ok but maybe im just a perfectionist.
  6. well you could recess a TOM adn make it string through i think that would look nice with that design. A hipshot hardtail might look good as well. Do you have a design for the headstock yet becuase i look at a guitars overall appearance and depending on the headstock shape my opinions might change
  7. maiden has the right idea except the switch would be a On/On switch. when i made mine i house it in a small enclosure on the inside of the amp secored with a couple small brackets and screws......now that ppl are talking abotu it i may have to remake it just for the hell of things
  8. you can easily add a 2x12 cab to your bandit as long as its 8 ohms i have a bandit and i actually did this for a while. I actually made a small switch so thati could choose between the internall speaker and then the extrernal cab, adn it was ll housed in a small lil box with a 1/4" jack so it was pretty handy. granted i dont have it set up liek that anymore now that im not in band
  9. ya i was thinkin an auto body place but i didnt quite have the time to go checking around at them thanks maiden .....soon my EVH RRV will be done!!!
  10. Where can you get 1/4" blue painters tape? I was at home depot today and they only have sizes 1 inch and greater. I dont need it right away so i could order it offline but it seems kinda silly to order just one roll of tape when i should be able to find it in a store.
  11. I recently bought a Boss BF3 Flanger useed and it didnt have the manual. If anyone on the boards has the manual for this pedal and wouldnt mind scanning it for me that would be great. my email is penguin_with_a_gun@hotmail.com
  12. Well i you want an EVH sound i owuld say go with the Lawrence L-500 XL i have one in my Jackson RRV (wich i am refinnishing with an EVH stripe pattern) and it has a great sound
  13. ouch ya they are kinda expensive....ive been looking into amore of a 200 dollar price range, and i have heard good things about the tascams
  14. http://www.guitarcenter.com/newsletter/get...ducts.cfm?sel=6 The Alesis Multimix 8USB 8ch mixer with usb port i am not doing any professional recording im just looking for something thats easier and better sounding then plugging into my soundcard. Right now me and my freidns liek to just mess around with random instrumwents have a few drinks and see what comes out of it. If anyone has any other suggestions please do tell i just need something to do basic cheap recording and if it coudl hook up to a computer through usb that would also be a plus
  15. i have an XL-500 and its is by far one of the best pickups ever. and i plan to use them in future projects. If you want a dimebucker wait the extra time adn get a XL-500 in the end youll have a better product and the pickup dimebag actually used
  16. a tele body would be pretty easy its a flat top the edes are wide and dont have any tight curves and its a classic
  17. well i forgot was a "reading day" before finals so i have no classes , and i decided with the free time i would start the long annoying task of stripping my V, well i was in for a great suprise. i was taking all the hardware of the body and while doing so i chipped off a little of the paint well i kept picking and the top color color peels right off from the sealer coat so with a swiss army knife (a paint scrapers blade is too thick) i am able to peel it right off i startewd 5 seconds ago and this is wat it looks like, so this job looks like it will be very very easy....doesnt say much for jackson though. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v626/nal.../refinnish2.jpg lmao wow i should pay more attention to my typing
  18. well i was leaning towards the EVH and it loks like that is the msot popular....it'll also be alot cheaper adn easier then a burst. Now the fun task of sanding the finnish off......wich will takee forever the jacksons have a Thick finnish.
  19. a while ago i go a Jackson RRV that was dinged to hell for a project and finally im thinking abotu getting around tro painting it with xmas break on its way, but i dont know what i should do. Ive got it narrowed down between an EVH style paint job or putting on a veneer,then staing and doing a burst. Either of those would be a welcome upgrade from the dinged blue finnish thats there right now. on a side note if i was ere to do an EVH stle job on it id fill the neck pickup hole since its been empty since i got it, butif i did a veneer id prolly get another pickup for it.
  20. i had an RG adn i had a screamin demon in it andi didnt quite liek the sound out of it....too much low end that soudned kinda flabby most liekly a r esult of the basswood. westheman is right hought you could easily fit a abttery in the control cavity its very spacious.
  21. I actually just playe one of othose a couepl days ago. some guy brought 3 into my local GC they are pretty cool sounding
  22. My first guitar was a Slammer by Hamer and i still play that guitar today (actually i have it with me right now) they can be had for about 150 new so that would give you some extra cash for an amp or something
  23. well its not that im too cheap too buy wood i just saw it lying inth e basement so i wanted to give it a whirl and wanted to get some opinions on it thats all...plus i thought it might be a good way to pracice building a neck and not waste money if it comes out crap
  24. i was wondering hwo well suited for a neck red oak would be for a neck? i just moved into a hosue and there asre some random lengths of red oak in the basement and they look perfect for a neck so i was wondering if they would suffice? i know oak tends to be a hard wood so i thought it could handle a neck well
  25. basswodd is really soft and i doubt anygoodfor a neck,. you might be able to instal carbon rods but i would personally stay away from it as a neck material.
