Got it two weeks ago. Can't get a decent pic of it for nothin', though.

More...

Sweet! Now we now what you have been up to the last two weeks!
-
Last....

That is fucking nice. Wow. Neck through? Bolt on? Full details on the build man. Fret size, pickups, everything.
-
Why dont you have a picture of me on the wall too???

I think he has that on the ceiling over his bed. :rofl;
Nice guitar man. :supz:

Very sweet looking. Damn. :supz:
-
Looks cool. How you like it? Play well?
-
That's pretty cool, now if you could only play.
-
Is that why they're hangin' on the wall ? :rofl;
-
Send me a pic and it'll go on the wall, Phil. :gaygiggle; Greg, go see if you can fax your penis to your boss. Brian, it's all pretty much the commonplace build for an RR1:
Quartersawn maple neck, neck through, ebony fretboard, mother of pearl Jackson logo, alder wings, compound radius fretboard, Duncan pickups (an SH2 at the bridge and a TB4 at the neck), yada, yada...
Even the plate on the back is a brushed aluminum type of dealy. Quite happy I am. I struck an open string before I left for work this morning and I'm pretty sure it's still ringing.
-
Is the other one a neck through also ?
-

Nice. :supz: Probably makes a '76 fat neck Strat feel like a bat. LOL
-
...Greg, go see if you can fax your penis to your boss. ...
They don't make paper big enough or I would have faxed all of you by now.
-
...no need to place the whole electron microscope in the fax machine. Just
send Phil the image. :rofl;

Look what I just got on ebay.

Looks nice!
-
It's a little bigger for my "neanderthal" hands.
-
I wish I knew more about guitars so I could comment but I can say that it looks cool.
-
Is it bigger? I thought it was a Dinky. Nice score, I like the upside down shark fins. I seriously don't know how you and Sylvan use those fast action guitars. When my and Sylvan swapped guitars in Vegas, it was like learning how to play again. LOL
-
1. Rob, both of my other Jacksons are bolt ons....I have to say that I prefer the freedom in adjusting the neck for better action on a bolt on (all of my bolt ons recieve a 3 of hearts folded in half stuck between the body and necy for that GIANT 1/64" difference [seriously] that it makes)
2. Yeah Brian, I felt like I had dicks for fingers when I tried to play your strat.
3. Nice find, Rob! Can I ask what the damage was? Also, hang onto that guitar- Jackson dabbled in the 7 string game only momentarily and then bailed out....I don't think there are really that many.
-
I remember that Brian, y'all looked like someone kidnapped you and dropped you off in a different neighborhood.

$275 w/ case and shipping.
I was going to ask you what model the guitar you brought to Vegas was. I thought
that was a neck thru. So just the RR7 is ?
I'm not a huge fan of the reverse headstock, but I liked the price. I'm sorta old school like that.
-
I've never been crazy about the reverse headstocks, either- only because they vary from traditional Jacksone. (I'm a purist). *BUT* they are the rarest out there...and for the price you paid, I'd say you ripped somebody off. Very nice! The guit-fiddle I brought to 'Vegas was a '98 Dinky Professional series bolt-on....try finding a bunch of Professional Series Jacksons....lo ng story, but they're pretty rare. I also have the RR3 and the new RR1. I know that not everyone is the Jackson fanatic that I am, but I love them so fuck all others.
-
I've been looking at a few different ones lately.
I realy like the SL1
I'm considering an SL3
As for bolt ons, I can get a real good price on a DK2
My only disappointment with their newer designs is
that they've gone to single volume and tone controls
on these guitars. I have a tendency to use all the pickups,
and like the ability to leave them fine tuned for when I
call upon them.
-
Very nice...is it Purple????

I just got it today. I ordered a new bridge pickup and
a set of strings for it, as well as some gear for my studio.
:rock:
-
I was playing my acoustic right now, I miss the sound of new strings. By the way, those Elixir strings really do work, they sound awesome even 6 months later. The Martin's I usually buy sound like shit in a week.

For my acoustic, I usually get either Martin or Guild strings of the
phosphor bronze variety. I have GHS boomers on my bass, and D'Adarrio XL's on
all of my other guitars.
-
Martin strings are THE SHIT, man. Elixers suck the sweat off a dead man's balls. Sure, they sound the same even months later....like shit.

Hey while you're on here;
What model Seymour Duncans do your Jacksons have in the different positions?
Also what is the frequency and sampling rate you're using with the new recorder ?
...an inquiring mind must know these things.
-
Oh...I thought this was about DCEPTCN having Michael Jackson's baby. :tonqe:

Shush with the Michael Jackson talk. Your going to upset his butt buddy Paul.
-
Prince has no friends
When you're banging Carmen Electra, do you really need friends?
Sylvan, didn't you get a JB and a Duncan Jazz pickup for the thing? I STILL want to build my damn custom semi-hollow Fender Jazzmaster. I should start saving now.
-
I bought a JB for the bridge position of my 7 string.
The way its made, there isn't enough room for an
EMG. I was thinking about a jazz or a '59 for the neck.
I was leaning towards the jazz. I'll probably leave the
Duncan Designed pickup in the neck position for now.
-

I hope that you aren't referring to me.

A month could be tight. I just barely got one of my studio monitors today. The
other one is expected to arrive tomorrow. I have a systematic approach to this.
-
I went and did it again !
I was in Guitar center today and bought a used
Jackson C5 Concert Bass
24 fret 5 string and its black !
For only 200 smackahs !
It will get GN'ed out ! LOL....
I'll throw up a pic later.
-
Nice. I needs to build me that Fender Jazzmaster I've been having wet dreams about.
Mahogany semi-hollow body, solid one-piece Rosewood neck, and Seymour Duncan Jazzmaster pickups. I'm getting chub thinking about it.
Think my strings are heavy in the Strats? Wait until I get the flat wounds on!
-
A friend of mine has a copy of a Hofner violin bass with flatwounds
on it. It almost sounds like a fretless.
-
I went and bought a Behringer V Bass pro last night to go with it.
This thing is killer for the money !
-
I know the guitars are probably sub par but I heard decent reviews on them and they will be good for a beater guitar. I have some extra cash and am thinking about getting one of the Gibson Les Paul copies. I read that they are not mahogany and they are basswood but I figure that is still better then plywood lol.
Oh heres the site
musoland.com.c n
China knockoffs at their best for the cheap/poor bastards on here (not including Sylvan of course.)
A Buckethead Les Paul could be made from one of those guitars.
-
I know someone who has used a Les Paul. But not allowed to mention his name... :yawinkle:

I went on to the Jackson Charvel forums and found out my 7string is a DX7.
I also met a guy over there from So Cal with the screen name "Racer X".
I thought he was Greg so I started bustin' on him only to find out it wasn't Greg.
He seems like a kewl guy anyways... I also met another guy on there who owns a GN. I tried getting him to come here, but I haven't seen him yet. Anyways...
now I'll get back on topic. :rofl;
I did some mods and upgrades to my DX7. It now has original Seymour Duncans and a kill switch. ..and some custom stuff on the way ????

Oh shit, I haven't seen seven strings in a while.
I just dug my old '76 Strat out of the closet. I de-fretted it, needs new frets, and it had 3 humbuckers in it and this crazy assed switching system on it from Valley Art Custom Shop. Fucking 80's customizers. I'm going to install a jazz neck humbucker in the neck, and an original EARLY Duncan Invader pickup it the bridge. The middle pickup is going to be the single coil I removed from my friend's Strat YEARS ago, he was shot a few years back and the pickup means a lot to me.
Other than that, I'm stripping the finish to a natural ash finished Strat.
-
I'd be interesting to see what the switching system actually did ?
-

lol, OMG, that one really cracked me up! You prob scared the shit out of the guy!! :rofl;
-
Could you explain the setup/wiring of the killswitch?
-
Insanely simple: momentary push button across the output jack.

I'm thinking you pretty much open the circuit right? In the up position the button closes the contact, when pushed it opens it, rendering your tone worthless. Single pole, single throw?
We used to do this with Les Pauls, I'd cut the volume on the neck pickup and crank the bridge pickup. Then I'd flick between middle position and neck. Got that from Tom Morello.

Randy Rhoads was where I got that technique from.
As for the switch: Its a momentary push button normally open circuit.
When pushed it closes thus shorting out the output of the guitar. So it works a little
different that the Les Paul method.(which was used in the first piece of music
I had sent Sylvan.)

:evil; Muh ha ha ha ha !

I'm looking at the Tech21 Trademark 30 amp right now. I first played through a Roland Cube-30X, and it was like when you drink any other beer. But when compared to the sweet malt liquor, it's just water.
http://www.roland.com/products/en/CUBE-30X/index.html
I really only wanted it because I've always wanted a Roland Jazz Chorus 120. But then I played this mofo:
http://www.tech21nyc.com/tm30.html
And while I'm not a fan of digital effects, the Trademark 30 is still hard-wired, analog goodness. I don't know what the fuck they put in their equipment, but Tech21 is scary good compared to tube amps. I've got an original SansAmp and a Tri-AC, and I think now I will have this as a practice amp.
I will also be pairing this up with the hot-rodded Fender amp I have and switch between both with a hi-gain amp switch. I've always found that finding an amp to do all your sounds is a pain in the ass. So now I can retain that legitimate, thick, tubey Fender tone and use the Tech21 for distorted sounds I can still control clipping on. I think I'm getting chub.
-
Its funny that you had mentioned them. I was looking into this
to replace my dated ADA MP-1.

Dude, try it. Find a shop that has one, even if you have to walk into a damn Guitar Center, try it out. If worse comes to worse, order it from Guitar Center and you have 30 days to beat on it.
-
here are a couple of pics of the bass customization. :psix;
-
Very Cool looking. :psix;
-
Fuckin' sweet. I know another guy who sticks all kindsa dumb GN shit on his guitars, too.

Yeah, I thought that guy was kinda cool. And since the bass was black, it was begging for it. :psix;
-
So I've decided maybe it's time to start selling my blood and semen for a kick ass amp. What I wouldn't do for a Howard Dumble...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumble_Amplifiers
Or an old Fender Quadraverb, ala Albert Collins.
http://www.cnjradio.net/fenderamps/quadreverb.html
Speaking of which, I've just found the Holy Grail of Fender specs...

-
Just can't do anything the easy way, huh? :D
-
Fuck no.
-
Natty even masturbates wearing boxing gloves.
-
I call that move the 'Mike Tyson.'
-
That sounds more like "punching the clown"... :jerkit;
-
I've been punching my clown all day with my new amp. I wanted a Tech21 SO fucking bad, but they're pricey, and the Trademark 30 only has one channel.
Anyway, I got a Roland Cube 30 in the mail today, and the fucking thing is unbelievable.
The JC 120 channel is ridiculously clean, and the on board effects aren't bad considering they're not too adjustable. What really blew me away was the Acoustic simulator and the Tweed (Fender Bassman) and R-Fier (Mesa/Boogie) amp models.
The cabinet is a closed back, and ported from the front. The speaker response is amazing, the JC 120, Tweed and Acoustic channels really move the speaker, I can feel it from across the room.
And! True to form, the van Halen 5150 channel sounds like shit.
I expect this to be getting worked for some new music to be recorded soon, with drums and bass. :)

I played with a friends micro cube, and that was pretty good for a practice amp.
The sounds were decent for what it was.
-
I been hunched over this Alesis SR18 for fucking ever lately. Actually, I lie.
I've been more or less poking it with sticks for all but the last couple weeks, and I finally have gotten some material down to be able to write music again.
I'm using it for more or less a practice tool, as I still prefer the sound and response of a drummer behind a kit to jam with. But all these years of jamming alone has seriously fucked up my sense of timing, and so everything I write is in different time signatures and tempos, within the same tune.
So anyway, I got this thing and was cursing it's existence until the recent epiphany I had with it. Expect good stuff.

I'm so loving this thread. The same Jacky plus an EV Cobalt Co4 is micing the Celestion G12T75s out of a Line 6 Spider II HD150 over a Laney 'doublewide' cab. Oh, and I put a Duncan Invader (SH8-N) in the neck replacing the SH2. It broke my heart to do but I needed the highest gain shred pickup I could get.
-
I'm still working on some old Iceboxnh stuff that we recorded a long time ago.
I had the original singer come over about a month ago and do a killer lead vocal track. all thats leaf is having the keyboard player come over to record his backing vocals, and then master it. I've been wicked sick the past month or so, and been
draggin' ass at everything I do. I'm just starting to get over it.
