My fingers are weak and totally non-compliant, but what got me to sign on here is thath Kris' lessons have started turning that around and he teaches stuff that works! I'm into Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Classical and Celtic music and play a Jackson DXMG Dinky (Super-Sweet, even for a low end model!). I have a Line 6 Spider II that stays on the Insane setting. Just thought I'd say hi. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

Nearly bought one off eBay this past summer. Instead I bought a much cheaper (in all respects) instrument -- mostly cuz it came with a Floyd Rose w-bar. It's okay for practice, but can't hold tune worth crap. I also have an Ibanez AM73 tobacco -- amazing playability, I think, considering it was set up perfectly right outta the box. In fact, I believe I had it for about a year before I got it set up by a local tech. About that age thing: just keep telling yourself 40 is the new 20...

EMG pickups (passive so no batteries) that really crank. With the Line 6 a distortion pedal is totally unnecessary. It's blistering for a practice amp. The Dinky's got a Floyd Rose licenced trem on it, but I'm still too cold to use it. I always considered myself doomed to playing only rhythm until I worked out on this site for a couple of days. I'm discovering muscles in my hands and arms that I never knew were there before. My poor smashed pinky's even working better.

I was close to buying the DK2M but chose an Ibanez instead, the Jacksons are a bit "meaner" though (which, of course, is a good thing) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Unless you are 12 and tries to sing in which case you most of the time sound like a nudered cat trapped between a truck and a brickwall. Never heard any celtic music but the name sounded cool QUOTE (MickeM @ Jan 25 2007, 01:25 PM) Hi! I need a DXMG too... or a DK2M... or both! I was close to buying the DK2M but chose an Ibanez instead, the Jacksons are a bit "meaner" though (which, of course, is a good thing) I wanted to buy a Jackson Warrior MG. Unfortunatly, the EU is a bunch of pissrats and they discontinued it because it contained some quicksilver in the ..uh.. hardware-putting-together-thingie (lödning on swedish). So it wont be arriving in sweden untill 2-3 months from here and I just couldnt wait that long You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

So it wont be arriving in sweden untill 2-3 months from here and I just couldnt wait that long I've stopped buying music stuff in Sweden, it's too expensive. Here is where I get my things.. and they have the quicksilver warrior in stock too... WRMG 6300 SEK in Germany, 7739 SEK at Musikborsen, that's 18% off. And the shipping is 15 Euro no matter how much you order so it's 16%. And they deliver to your door step. When I got my amp head I ordered it from there and saved 23%, a litte more than that actually since I went on my knees and begged them for a discount, which I got. And I dodn't have to carry it (my avatar, amp head + cabinet) from the postal office. They say one should play a tube amp before buying it but for that money saved I was willing to risc that... I'm a cheap dude And I don't think I'd hear any difference even if I tried a dozen. SORRY mordred for hi-jacking your thread.

Looks like they got almost the same prices as musicstore.de And the same 15 E shipping cost too. Great! I will keep them in mind next time I order something and compare the prices between the two.

I was looking for a JS 30 but got better pick-ups at a lower price. It's like it was meant to be. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
