    I'm feeling chatty so here it goes.

    My father is a Baptist preacher. Well at least he was when I was a kid. I wasn't allowed to listen to anything but gospel. In '84 my parents had a falling out and divorced. When my mom and I moved away I lived many different places and towns. I went to 8 different high schools in four years and still graduated a half year early.

    My first rock album I bought was Master of Reality by Black Sabbath. Ozzy was solo then and heck I didn't know. Lol then it was Twisted Sister and iron Maiden. The '80's were done but just the start for me. I got my first guitar in '89.

    The 90's metal was a landing mark for me. I had fresh ears and am still In love with it. I loved Prong and White Zombie. Then Pantera. Of course many others like Fight and Sponge. I always was in tune with the newer bands coming out. Since then I've always been a metal head. It's what you grew up with and what sticks.

    Now I just play at home and not so often anymore. Guitar was an outlet for me growing up because I trusted no one and it was always there. It's still a personal thing for me.

    Long live metal!

    NICE!

    Awesome. Ya they're my fav guitar. I'm wanting a Dean like Dimbags also just to have one I guess. I'll look like a copy cat when I play it I don't care.

    Anyway very cool axe. Would like to see you play them sometime.

    Dime switched to tube amps at the latter half of his career.. get your facts straight.. Larry is a Jazz player.

    Get my facts straight? 😆 :lol: More like the latter quarter of his career, and even then rumors persisted that his amp heads were show for his endorsement and he was using SS again..

    I've been doing this a little while now, about 50 yrs and yeah, I used to be a tone snob amp purist too. I've been thru so many amps and rigs it's not funny.. Tube amps are GREAT! But they have their drawbacks. Some times they are simply impractical and inconsistent.. Modeler preamps have drawbacks as well but with each generation they get better and better.. To bash a pc of equipment you haven't tried is pretty close minded.. I remember when it had to be my Gibson Double neck and my Fender Bandmaster half stack back in the 70s.. Then my Les Paul and my Marshall full stack, with pedals, w/o pedals, with rack gear, w/o rack gear. Used that for a long time. Got really old dragging it around the SE US club circuit. Can't forget the ADA MP1.. My point is this, play what works for you and be happy.. And put the know it all attitude aside..

    What don't you like about it?

    I keep telling myself I'd like an Ibanez UV70P.. I keep telling myself it's the one tool I don't own.. Then I remember, I've owned a couple 7s ... They're different..

    It's not that I don't like it.. It's a great guitar for a 7 string Ibanez.. It play nice..It sounds great... It has a floyd rose trem system.. which I absolutely hate.. I like regular American standard vibrato systems.. if you set it up right they stay in tune just as well as any floyd. ive ever played.. I like more of the Jeff Beck, Landau/Lukather type feel

    It just sits...I have. 14-15 guitars LOL.. I have no need for a 7 string.. I do Drop D shit anyway. And Id rather sell it and put that money toward getting either a Classical cutaway guitar or a little Parlor guitar to tote around

    Dude, I don't know you from shit I have stepped in. But I do know, Nick. Cunts like you are always mouthing off while maintaining Internet anonymity. Me? I am as public as it gets, and I have no problem saying to someone's cunt face, what I say online. You? You're a cunt.

    I'll tell you what, I wasn't going to go to the Titans game, HOWEVER............ if you want to make the trek, I will be more than glad to see what kind of a tough guy you are.

    WTF are you even commenting on a guitar thread for? You aren't a player. Fucking homo.

    Fuck you Ukrain. I laugh at you

    Ghoolie you're slipping. You can't go one post without saying cunt at least twice. It's weak and lacks creativity

    This shit ain't nothing to me, man.
