Hi! Been a while since I've been on BZPower, but it's a great feeling to be on this site again I hopped on here to see if anyone had interest in one of the Free the Band guitars. I'm trying to simplify and want to sell it. For clarity: It's not signed by the band (I was one of the first prize winners who got a guitar, not the grand prize. The bionicle wiki erroneously says that all of them were signed, but that was not the case with mine.) It came in the mail from Lego with a bit of the front of the guitar missing (you can see it in the pictures) Since I haven't seen anyone online ever sell one of these, it's hard to really know what it's worth, so I'd like to just negotiate with someone who is interested and we can figure out what we think is fair. Thanks for checking it out!

Gallery The Dyclias C7 is a marvelous vehicle. The latest grav-modulation tech, coupled with a powerful six-port exhaust system, provide intense acceleration, altitude, and power capabilities. Carefully crafted Sonics-boosting echo-chamber cavities in the front add excellent offensive capabilities, but only to riders with Sonics capabilities, making the unlikely event that an adversary outwits the theft-deterrent system and hijacks it altogether less threatening. And none of this at the expense of comfort; an excellent cushioned seat and exquisitely calibrated, intuitive steering and kick-start mechanisms make the Dyclias C7 a joy to drive. And this Christmas, it is my pleasure to present one of these grand devices to the heroic Toa Fordian! In the BZP Secret Santa thing, I was assigned FordianL at the BBC. His self-MOC Toa Fordian being a Toa of Sonics, I concluded that a guitar-infused hoverbike in his colour scheme might be a suitable gift. So here it is, for his and everyone else's Christmas enjoyment!

Tried to find some MOCs related to guitars made of technic, but found nothing decent. Then tried to make it myself. Here is the picture for inspiration: Yamaha TRBX174 Pic Made a special stand for the guitar. Stand with guitar The stand is pretty simple. Stand Technic flexible axles give it a smooth silhouette Pic Tremolo pedal on a bass... yeah, weird. Pedal Together with my previous model - Natasha Breez. Pic 1 Pic 2 Hope you've enjoyed that. Final

Please, please, please tell me I'm not the only member here that knows what this is.Princess Tutu is an anime/manga about a duck who falls in love with a prince, a girl in ballet class who isn't very good at dancing and a ballerina princess who has a mission to restore the fragments of a prince's heart. Oh, and those are all the same person (Before you write it off as "girly" and "lame" just keep in mind the nickname of this show is "Guitar Ninjas")... Guys can like girly stuff, okay?! >>Anyway, I'm a huge fan of fairy tales, and the anime version especially was all about that genre (as well as ballet themes). When I first learned about this series, my expectations were pretty low, but after I finished the anime, I had fallen in love with a cast of characters (all of them which is pretty rare for me) and the story itself.Anyone else a fan?

40 years ago today was the first day people awoke with the reality that Jimi Hendrix lived no more. I'm not one of the people who calls him the greatest guitarist in the history of ever(That spot is sternly reserved for Jeff Beck), but I'd be a fool to argue he didn't have a huge influence, that he wasn't a **** good player, or that 90% of the guys everyone who detracts from him says can play circles around him would be playing how they do(Or in some cases at all) if not for him. It probably also helps he was also a good lyricist and thought of the compositional whole. Rest peacefully Jimi.

So, the place I've been planning to work at that I handed my application in at on Wednesday where I'm friends with the manager isn't hiring at the moment. He went to a meeting of the chain locations across the state last night though, so I may be getting a job at another one nearby. If not though, how many of you would or know people who would be willing to pay $20-$30 for one hour guitar lessons via video chat? I'm fluent in Jazz, Blues, Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Pop, and Instrumental Rock, am willing to teach both minor-intermediate theory, basic beginner lessons, chordings, and songs. I'm also more than happy to attempt to transpose video game music. I've gigged, played in four bands, formed two and subbed for one. Ask for more details. (And just note this isn't a "Alright, let's commit to it now" thing, this is a "Let's gauge interest to see if it's worthwhile or not, don't expect pay demands or a guarantee of it happening if you say yes, nothing is solid, as it's just to gauge opinion and interest right now)

Bananana dananana Bananana da Da da da da! You got the EL84 and 12AX7 vacuum tubes! Set them to one of the valve sockets in the amplifier to use them. These small glass objects are lightbulbs and their light to your amp; they allow it to create glorious sound. These Electro-Harmonix tubes make everything sound sweeter, too! [/zelda] So, amp is repaired, now I just need enough snow to melt that packages will start coming here again so I can order the bass, and the recording can get underway!

So, on May 19th I got a new guitar, a Dillion DVT50 telecaster, part of their 2009 "Epic series" limited-runs. My brother was in Israel with the camera at the time though, so I couldn't get any pics. He returned though, and in enjoying my new darling, I forgot to take pictures or even mention it here. I finally got around to doing so today, so I figured the only better place than my blog was the guitar topic, and nobody likes an obscenely large post with obscenely large images as much as an obscenely large blog with obscenely large images, do they? Just a note, unfortunately since I took the webcam pics on May 19th, that "new guitar" shine that everything had has worn off a little. In addition since I've been using this thing heavily for recording, home practicing and band, it's got sweat, finger oil, dust, scratches, all that kind of stuff. Tried to clean it beforehand, but only so much can be done I suppose. Just a forewarning, the average size of one of these is 1536x2048 pixels, so if you have a slow internet please don't blame me when you feel the bandwidth being sucked away. Full guitar, front Full guitar, back Guitar body, front ~ This is my personal favourite of these just because the flash combined with the angle and lighting make the guitar almost look like it did in it's brand-new pictures. Guitar body, upper back ~ Just a forewarning, the neckplate caught the camera flash and made a sort of lensflare, so those with light-sensitive eyes, put on sunglasses or turn down your monitor brightness before clicking the link. Guitar body, lower back Guitar body, lower front Guitar body, upper front Guitar body, upper left front ~ This is just a picture I took of the upper let of the body that I really think captures how the finish really looks fairly well. Bridge and bridge pickup detail Control plate detail Neck pickup detail Neckplate detail ~ You can even see one of the bearpaws I call hands holding the camera in the reflection! =D String hole detail Headstock detail Headstock back ~ Serial number censored for legal purposes. So far I've absolutely loved it; from the tone to the feel it's one of my favourite guitars I've played, let alone owned.

I'll try to be quick with this. As you all likely know I'm saving for this. It's $1,000 and I have about $250. At the same though I'd like one of these; Guitarists should be able to figure out what this is, those who aren't, to put it very simply, it's essentially a footpedal that will let me get the tone I want from my guitar, which, as good as it sounds, isn't quite the sound in my head. It's $120 though, nearly half what I have saved. At this point this would be a crippling blow to the MacBook fund. However there is this; This, according to what I've read, actually keeps the audio signal at the driver level, making it not a victim to being slowed by my laptop's horrid soundcard's latency. With this I could finally get to work(And Sony ACID would be justified), my need for a MacBook would lessen and I wouldn't feel as bad getting the Pedal. At the same time though, I'd dearly love to replace this thing, I doubt my family(My brother in particular) would let me live it down until I got the laptop myself, and I probably wouldn't either. So, third-party solution and tonething, or laptop then tonething?

http://www.coil-guitars.com/#/models/ronin/ Read about their guitars in a local newspaper. Heard a few clips and I'm impressed. It's $1,448 for the one I want with the features I want. This on top of the $1,000 I need for a new computer. I really hate that tendency we all have to want something better. ><

Money(that's What I Want. Or Need. It Really Depends On Your Angle)
Necro posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_698
I need a method of making about $400-$450 in approximately six weeks. Yardwork, various jobs(Though nothing that I would have to do a mediocre job with to get by, it goes against my personal standards to do anything half-baked), guitar lessons, tech support and whatever you can think of that would work are all options. Though it's case-by-case, selling most things isn't an option, as I'm a packrat. And please be serious, I need actual help here, not "Rob a bank!", "Take Donald Trump's toupe hostage!" or stuff like that. -
Since I generally just glance over long entries myself, I'll be rather quick and to-the-point with this, or at least try to be. I get a feeling I'll be long-winded though, so oh well. Anyone who's on my AIM list or frequents my blog likely knows I'm saving for a number of things, most prominently a new computer and a new guitar. Lately the guitar and computer have been battling in my head for the "First-buy" slot, however until a moment ago the computer was winning. Then I got an email back from the guy who I've been emailing that owns the shop I'm buying it from(Sections with his name and my own cut out for privacy reasons); To fill in on the details I cut out, it's a limited-run of ten, and that's really all I didn't put in that I think is all that important. Originally he said it was about $500 or so plus shipping and likely a case as well. Going with his idea of putting aside $50 weekly, once I take out the $50 needed to pay the deposit, I have the first week's $50 in-wallet, $30 owed to me, which, combined with my own resources I can probably get the $20 for the second week, and the other four I'm not sure of, but based on the past something will turn up, and if not, I have a few backup ideas I wouldn't be too proud of, though I would be willing to resort to if I commit to the guitar, though to clear my conscience those will likely involve paying back as well, albeit they are, again, backups, not my main idea. So, to finish it, should I go for this or not?

Simply put, only three of the five band members showed up today. Fortunately it was me(guitar, vocals and apparently bass too), the drummer, and the bassist/one of the other guitarists, so we were able to get by with a trio type thing. It actually went pretty well, to the point I'm considering removing the other guitarist and turning it into a four-man band. But I digress for now. Anyway, the reason it was strange was because for most of it, the bassist was playing my guitar, and I was playing his bass. And it actually worked pretty well. So, quick question for my fellow musicians; should I switch to bass? I did enjoy it and it worked well, but at the same time I've invested over $1,000 in my guitar stuff, and I don't want it to go to waste.

Eric Clapton is coming here on June 13th. I refuse to not go. I'll sneak in before I miss this. I would be an awful guitarist without the man, and besides that I like his music.

Quick Question To Guitarist Members But Also Members In General...
Necro posted a blog entry in blogs_blog_698
Would it be worth it to sell my strat for a telecaster that can get basically the same tone plus a more powerful tone in two of the five tones the two can get? -
Is it bad I'm writing an instrumental and my philosophy on the guitar part besides the riff is "improvise it and make it sound something like the original"?

Alright, if you know me, you know I like The Who. One of the things I like about them is the equipment destruction they are(or at least were until Keith died and Pete got arthritis and can't swing it anymore) known for. The sound the guitar makes when you hit it against a stage floor and it begins coming apart, brilliant. Just brilliant. Anyway, before you ask me why I want to smash my guitar if I like it so, not the one I got from my uncle, that one's a personal treasure of mine at the moment, not something I'm going to destroy for a couple minutes of sound and applause. What I was considering was buying a stratocaster copy(Cheap beginner copies of the guitar I play) at every gig where doing so wouldn't lose me money once I get my band together, and switching to and smashing one of them at the end of a show. And before people attack me with a "guilt trip" about smashing a perfectly fine guitar, those things are not fine. They go out of tune in minutes, feel terrible, cut your hand up if you play fast, and just sound subpar, and frankly I don't think anyone should have to start on one of those, let alone play it for anything other than the purpose of not breaking something better. So, BZP, thoughts on smashing the bargain bin six-strings?

I got back earlier today from a friends, and I glance in the rearview mirror because, after reading a certain xkcd, I stare into the rearview mirror to try and see the eyes of the person behind me. Anyway, while doing this, I notice something in the back. I figure I'll find out more when I get home. Once I got home I looked in the back to find a black hardshell flight case. I take it inside, and down to the basement, where I always do this kinda stuff. The mysterious flight case. First, sorry about the mess, but anyone in the guitar topic can attest it's been that way for a while. Second, any guitarist can see it's a guitar case. I also figured this at first, but didn't know why there would be a guitar case in a shape different than the one for my guitar in the back of the car, so I figured it was a flight case for something else. Anyway, I undid the latches and grinned when I see I'm mistaken. ^^ The pictures don't do it justice, it's much prettier in person. Turns out while I was at my friends house my uncle called saying he finished setting up the Fender Stratocaster he was selling me. My mother decided to meet him and surprise me with it. It worked. ^^ Now for a few more pictures, just because I like gloating. ^^ It gets a nice bright blue when light like a flash hits it. Here's another pic from the same angle to show that, unlike a flat black finish, it has more than one look. =3 Here's another pic from a nifty angle. A full shot to capture the full glory of it. So far it's been a lot better than I expected, in all areas. Looks, playability, sound, it's a lot better than I thought it'd be, and even better in some ways than my old guitar, which is a nice guitar. I doubt many of the non-guitarists I know will flip over this, but feel free to leave a comment even if you don't play.
