Stig Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 At least Dimebag is dead and has no say over what kind of silly guitars Washburn puts his name on. Zakk Wylde (not his real name, I imagine) is actually posing for that picture with that guitar. Seriously, what a dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricochet Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Yeah, I'm sure any pro-player is willing to sacrifice tone, playability, performance and his reputation playing a particular brand or model because of the heaps of money he's offered...

clarkuss Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I never get tired of laughing at Zak Wylde and his guitars... but there's always the bitter after thought that he has tons of money, plays guitar for a living and has plenty of signature models.

floydpink7 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Hmn... maybe the amp is humungous but just really far away? Ya ever thought of that? By the way, do you have the link to where you got these pics? lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbrooks0711 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 What kind of tubes does this use? I think it actually uses the fuses from those 100 bulb stands of multi-color Christmas lights. I knew I was saving those for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that new one that looks like a cross between a V and an SG is the most hideous thing I've seen this side of a Washburn ad.[/quote'] well i dont share your opinion but as far as the idiot part i can think of a whole lot lot of others that do or have looked worse than zachery wielant (real name except i think i spelled it wrong). he really is a nice guy, dude tone down the haten man i have known him since 1988 when he was 19 or 20 and he is pretty much the same guy.. but a lot more carefull since dime got shot. i must say if your hollowbody in your avatar is your guitar of choice that is great. (for you) but i like solid body guitars. i wont trash you for your opinions. i came to this forum to talk and share about epiphone electric guitars not trash individual's and their dress and what kinds of paint jobs are or are or not stupid. as far as dime goes he like pointy guitars heck i like pointy guitars but i like traditional guitars as well. anyway i happen to like the bullseye, not a fan of the buzzaw graphic the camo is ok but i like an ebony neck on my L.P. as far as marshall well i can say i really only like the vintage of 81 or older jcm800 are ok with a bradshaw or lee jackson mod. and i reallly like a plexi with a great brown mod (insert your favorite aftermarket modder here). my favorite amp is the mesa stiletto, i will have one soon . hate zakk all ya want but he has one huge thing going for him, he is sucessfull and prosperous at what he does. playing guitar, and it beats where he came from.. pumping gas in jersey rock on zakk.

SlagJones Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Alot of the hate comes from jealousy. Simple childishness if you ask me. I can't say I am a huge ZW fan but nothing ever really made me want to make fun of or hate him either. I'm not sure I would really stoop to that anyway. IMO, if he is good enough for Ozzy pick him as a guitarist, I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedgeSG Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I like Zakk. I like his playing and respect the fact he's good at marketing his name and talent into serious coin. With the somewhat overwhelming array of signature guitars it's easy to forget the other endorsements though... the Dunlop pedals, the GHS and Dunlop strings, EMG pickups, and of course Marshall. I remember him doing a cameo in some Roman setting mini-series too. If for whatever reason the man ever gave up guitar think how well he'd do as a NASCAR driver. Instantly recognized, tv history, no stranger to labels, logos, or product placement/endorsement. Think of the dealer tie-ins, and now the 2010 Dodge Charger Daytona Wylde Bullseye Nascar Special Limited Production Signature Edition. The potential sponsors would be beating down the door, but one would think a beer company would land that account. That's what NASCAR needs anyway, a rocker to offset all the CMT watchers and give 'em all something new to complain about. He doesn't even need to be com- petitive, just show up in a Marty Robbins kinda way. Wedgie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's all in fun, but at some point, we all have to grow up and lose the pointy guitars that they market to 15 year old, long-haired, white kids.

My OTHER option was to create a MONSTROUSLY HUGE version of the lil' amp (with 3 GIANT KNOBS), then fit ol' Zakk in front of it. Kind of a "MARSHALL - Our Amps are so Bad-azz they need Giant knobs" thing... All in fun. And YEP, Zakk makes mo' money than I do playin' his guitar!!!!!

Manimal Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I think for $249 this is a WICKED deal! Lets face it, its a cool little conversation piece (not that little for small apartments still lol!), the two 10" cabs are pretty cool and they add a bit of oomph so to speak from the regular 1x8" combo. Make no mistake, I am no Marshall MG lover, but, MG bashing gets to be a bit contagious on forums. They're not THAT bad, certainly not "Gorilla" bad, if anyone remembers those. Heres the thing with the average solid state amp. Watch the "mids", and watch the "highs". I've seen demos on Youtube where the player "scoops the mids" by dropping the contour knob WAY down. All the while jacking up the highs. BLECK!!!!!!!!!! Does not work with this amp. A good amount of bass, "contour" knob up a bit, and only a moderate bit of "high" dialed in. MUCH MUCH better!!!!!!!!!! WAY more full, WAY more thump, less grissly brittleness, MUCH better. IMO, I'm not huge into signature stuff, but for the money you gotta keep your mind open and take advantage of a good value sometimes lol!!!!
