The other day I was on the PC and I forgot that Pantera's "Vulgar Display Of Power" was on the drive, so when I started Quake...WOW! tailor made music for the game.... :^), you should see how "A New Level","F*ck*ng Hostile" and "Walk" give this extraordinaire game the darkest of moods. So Spiff, check that album, I fits totally to the game, and I recommend also "YYZ" and "La Villa Strangiato" and "Red Barchetta" from Rush, when you play "Sega's Rally Championship". I recently discovered Dream Theater...lemme tell y'all... great band, and " A Change of Seasons" this sucker refuses to leave my cdrom drive at work.... good thing! :^) So...that's all folks!

These guitars can be sold for significantly less than $1500. You just have to beat on the salesman a bit. I paid $1000 for my white Universe, and that's with case, used. The only reason I paid THIS much is because they don't make the white one anymore, and they're not that easy to find. The black and green ones have been spotted for around $800 with case, until this KoRn/Dream Theater etc thing came around. Now you just don't see them. I've spoken to many independent guitar shop owners who claim that the Universe was a VERY hard guitar to sell, for a very long time. Things change. Paying $1699-2500 for a used Ibanez ANYTHING is a crying shame. I like Ibanez. They're my primary guitar. But Ibanez guitars just aren't worth that kind of money. They don't put the quality craftsmanship in or the quality materials in to justify that cost. C'mon... if you pay that kind of dough, you have to expect quality wood, perfect intonation, and a neck that never turns into a rollercoaster, regardless of temperature and humidity changes. It wouldn't hurt to have more options as far as color and pickups/pickup configuration either. The new ones (according to some friends who recently sold two of them: the black and white ones that replaced the black and green ones) supposedly don't sound as good as the old ones either. I can't confirm that, as I haven't played them yet. I expect the RG series 7 strings to be as good as or better than the Universe series. One can always replace the pickups if they suck, and now you get rid of that useless middle position pickup (which I have always hated), and mount them directly into the wood (this helps tone, IMO). Plus, since it's not a Universe, I won't feel bad about re-painting it to get a look that I like better. > well, based on the experience i had with my 550, i'd rather shoot my pickups. > i guess first of all it doesn't help that either ibanez or sam's asshole > decided to switch the pickup into a duncan jb pickup (makes no sense, i > know). it doesn't help that the neck and bridge pickups just basically fried > on me. eventually when i got what i considered "real pickups", i told the > stock ones to go fuck themselves and made them history, Hmmmm. Duncan JBs are sweet pickups. MICHAEL.ANGELO. gets some ripping tone out of em too (even though you can only handle so much M.A. before you go insane and start playing BeeGees n' stuff). I myself use the Screamin' Demon. Duncans are beefier pickups that I think distort better than DiMarzios. How did your pickups fry on you? JBs and the Ibanez stock pickups are all passive... you'd have to do some REALLY creative wiring to fry a magnet with a copper coil around it. - Chris Ptacek ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 May 1997 13:26:44 EDT From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: YTSEJAM digest 2543 Message-ID: Hey people. I was just at a local radio station trying to up my Boston contacts and I ran into Kip Winger.

Some guy in the Boston area builds a 8-string guitar and a 7-string bass. > I read that in some guitar magazine a year ago. Since I don't think I can > afford one, I didn't keep that article. That's probably Conklin. They have a web site somewhere... I used to have it bookmarked... I THOUGHT it was conklin.com but it's not. I have played their 8 string guitar. It has both a low B and a high A. It basically looked and felt like a coffee table. My guitar teacher at the time was considering an endorsement from them, and couldn't get into the guitar. Supposedly, the new 7 strings they're making are quite killer. > of mine says he once saw a JS guitar with 7 strings. Anybody ever seen any > of those? I THINK it was just an S-series 7 string. I know those were made. I won't go into the story about why Ibanez stopped making (supposedly) the 7 strings for a while, and why so many companies refused to make them, even though they had the means and people were interested. Hamer, Gibson, and Fender also made some killer 7 strings, I understand. I've played a few Hamer 7 strings, and I've HELD one of the 2 Fender 7 string Strats. That guitar is worth over $10K, according to collectors. > . Those 10-string Jacksons are pretty cool. I saw one at a store in Atlanta > a couple years ago. Did anybody else besides Dan Spitz play one? Yeah, but that was more like a 12 string... the extra strings were drones, not individual strings. > Me? I just got a Universe.

Because they're not doing anything new right now, and we don't have anything better to talk about. Could you perhaps get a better e-mail program (Eudora or Pegasus or something... go to www.tucows.com) so we don't get blasted with all of that garbled crap next time you post? -------------- > From: email_address_removed > Chris, you're being a dick (sorry to use your "catch-phrase"). Agreed. I was in a bad mood, and that annoyed me. STILL, swearing at the members of this list because you deleted your unsubscription info is just as bad, if not worse. > People on this list can be so quick to become a part of the problem > and not part of the solution. Thank you Captain Helpful. :) > My guess is this guy has received more > than a couple of Jams ...... UNSOLICITED somehow and now he wants it > to stop. He doesn't know it's automated...he doesn't know the > procedure....he's just a guy getting e-mail he doesn't want. It is possible to subscribe someone else to the jam against one's will, or as a joke. However, it isn't possible to get the info message Ytsejam sends out to new subscribers re-routed elsewhere without Skadz acknowledging the request. Since Skadz wouldn't do that, this guy either subscribed and doesn't want to be here anymore (which is what I believe) or he deleted his info message, which would fall within the bounds of what you believe. NEITHER of these possibilities excuses bitching at the jam. He had every reason to be polite, since he needed help. > SO WHY BE AN ASSHOLE!?!?! You get what you give. Almost EVERY TIME ANYONE asks how they can unsubscribe, I send a message explaining how to do it. I have a text file on my desktop for this purpose. But if the person wants to swear and bitch and moan, I will not be helpful. > For all he knows, this is just spam. I think that's awfully presumptuous. Didn't he say "I don't care anymore" or something to that effect? I deleted that jam, but something he said led me to believe that he DID subscribe himself. > And he's not the first one to be treated like this by Jammers. People who treat jammers like assholes for no reason, get treated accordingly. When I get out of line, I get my fair share too. I do agree that I was curt in what I said, but I was not in the mood to be nice to someone that was being a jerk off in the first place. If I'm wrong, and he didn't subscribe himself, or delete his list information e-mail, then I apologize. - Chris ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 12 May 97 11:31:07 PST8 From: email_address_removed To: email_address_removed Subject: Re: progressive takeover Message-ID: >I have a feeling that Fates Warning will start a revolution in the music >scene.

Well, the band is going to record a video for the whole thing, it may just wind up being live footage from the Euro tour, but it hasn't all been worked out yet... And they did release the CD single a week or so ago... It contains Part 2, a techno-remix of Part 2 (I don't much care for this one, but it is at least interesting to hear), and a demo version of Part 7...

Which means it's probably the time for you to check out all "flea markets" (no idea if this exists in UK) and street stalls you know in hopes of seeing your stuff... You might find your stuff, because that's probably the place where they go clear all stolen goods. Some time ago a friend of mine had a boat engine stolen. One of his friends heard about it and when he saw a conspicuously similar engine at a flea market he asked for serial numbers to my friend and it turned out it was indeed _the_ engine. Needless to say, he called the cops and he got back his possession, though the "seller" wasn't responsible for it. He bought it from a thieves network or something. The thing is more complicated with CDs, but it would still be possible to find them -- and short of being able to get them back, you could buy them at least.
