Personally, I'm thinking of adding this to my collection: www.jacksonguitars.com/themes/β¦ when it comes out in october anyway

Just thinking, did you only get this because of the paint or did you not feel like saving up the cash for something like your Jackson again? this is one of the bottom line razorbacks.

I got it because of the paint and the cheaper price. I wanted a guitar that looked cool thatΒ I could practice a lot with and I could carry around with me on the fly.
It would not be such a big deal if this one suffered a lot of heavy wear and tear and some minor damage.

Sorry for them mega-late reply. Life's a bugger.
Yeah, I understand that.

Yes this is one shred worthy axe.

This axe defined shredding. Yours looks brand new. Classic beauty. Have any recordings?

I did just get it brand new. I don't have any recordings yet.

Let us know when you do make one. This is a really nice guitar. What amp do you use?
π: 0 β©: 1
I will! And I usually use Marshall or MESA/Boogie amps and play Jackson, B.C. Rich and Dean guitars.
Here are the rest of my guitars.

Nice fleet of shred meisters. you have all the coveted models. I cannot afford nor do I have space for those kinds of ampsw. I have a small Fender Bullet 15watt model I mic, and I also do a direct line to console feed with amp modelling software. But you... You have the REAL THING going on, man. How are you going to record them? What mics do you use? What outboard gear, etc.?

I'm still not sure what recording gear I will get when the time comes. My uncle used to run a recording studio I'm not sure if he still does that any more.

I use very powerful computers. Six of them. And a couple really good mics, one of which is an Electro Voice RE20. Not the reissue. The vintage one, 600ohms of pure large diaphragm glory with a bass roll off switch and -20dB pad.

Wow! you got some good recording equipment.

Many thanks, my friend.
I am still working on the system as a whole and developing the means to make it portable for road use. It will be, once I get it all integrated. Most of my rigs are in travel bags. I have a server in the basement and two workstations online in the office/bedroom above. These are large scale Intel Xeon machines, one with four cores and eight hyper threads on socket LGA1150 and the other with eight cores and sixteen hyper threads on socket LGA2011v1. They run EVGA NVidia 2GB GTX660SC PCIe16XGEN3 cards for GPU on dual 16x9 monitors. This makes for getting a lot of tools on screen without overlapping of windows.
They have SSDs and WD HDDs plus DVD and BVD burners. One machine has 1TB of storage on one drive, the other has 2TB on two drives. They can grow much bigger... I run W7PSP1x64 on them, along with the Sony and Waves packages. One is an audio platform and the other is for video. Surprisingly, the audio machine is one of my custom builds (the smaller more spacious one named Spanky) and the other bigger but less spacious one is by Dell, a T3600 Precision that has been hot rodded some. Of the two, the smaller one is faster due to a higher CPU clock and 32GB of DDR3 vs 16GB for the big Dell.
I still need a good pre amp for the RE20. It needs to be lowZ in and digital out to USB3. Would be nice if it were stereo with a variable input. Would also be nice if it had onboard processing along with an external effects loop. I am looking at several solutions, from desktop boxes with dedicated PC outs to rack mount solutions. At the moment I am leaning toward the smaller devices and saving up for the eventual purchase of same while making lease-to-own payments on the Dell...

Oh wow! That is quit the set up you got there.

You are light years ahead of me whenΒ it comes to computers!
I am just limited to one aging desktop right now lol.

Well, most of mine have some time. Here are their build dates:
Spanky - June 2015 3.6GHz Intel Xeon E31246v3 quad core eight threads 32GB 1600MHz DDR3 Windows 7 x64 Gigabyte Custom Build Workstation
Mister T - June 2014 2.6GHz Intel Xeon E2670v2 octa core sixteen threads 16GB 1600MHz ECC Windows 7 x64 Dell T3600 Precision Workstation
Delilah - August 2010 2.83GHz Intel Xeon X3360 quad core four threads 8GB 800MHz DDR2 Windows 7 x64 A-Bit Custom Build Server
Nanook - January 2009 2.33GHz Intel Core2Duo dual core two threads 8GB 667MHz DDR2 Windows 7 x64 Dell Inspiron 530 Office PC
Duck - September 2007 2.63GHz Intel Xeon 3060 dual core two threads 8GB 800MHz DDR2 Windows 7 x64 Dell OptiPlex 755 SFF Office PC
Sumo - December 2004 3.2GHz Intel Pentium 4HT single core two threads 2GB 400MHz DDR Windows XP x86 Shuttle Sumo X HTPC
All but two are refurbs saved from certain death. Those would be the custom builds. The Dells were headed for the recycling center and I rescued them.

My first Windows computer was a Compaq Presario CDS 972 tower bought at an absurdly high price from what was then Sears and Roebuck in 1994. I bought it on credit, and after the tax and interest, it ran about three gees. Windows 3.1 and MSDOS 6.22 with a Pentium 75MHz socket 7 with 8MB of SDRAM and 1MB of VRAM running on a WD 640MB HDD with a 4X CDROM playing back on a 13-inch CRT with side mounted speakers at a desktop resolution 640x480 at 60FPS in true color. It finished life with 2MB of VRAM and 72MB of SDRAM running Windows 98.
The machine served me well with a long upgrade path until I built my first computer in 1996. It was a garbage box, made from stuff folks had thrown away. Starting life running Windows 95A, it made it all the way to Windows 98SE and was a worthy replacement for old Sam, the original Slow Dog. I called that one Oscar. He is long gone now, his parts scattered somewhere in northern California. He begat Delilah in 2001 long before the 2004, 2008 and 2015 refits. I just now realized that the old lady is sixteen human years old. In machine time, she is ancient.

My computer Sabresteen III is close to 10 years now and is upgraded to it's maximum potential. Maximum ram , 2 massive internal hard drives, most powerful video card it is compatible with, blue ray player and burner disc drive. The last thing I did was upgrade the operating system from vista to windows 7. But these days it's maximum potential now falls short when it comes to gaming. The new games are just to much for it.

Sounds like that machine is better suited to streaming tasks like internet and media playback. These are usually great computers for two track mastering and ODD one off tasks. It needs a buddy. A second newer and larger rig to do the heavy lifting. Games hit hardware heavily, but content creation is much more demanding. Chances are, if it will create content, it will game like a mofo. Some games are GPU bound while others are CPU bound. A few hit both areas hard. In any case, you need a minimum of four cores, 16GB of DDR3, and a GPU with at least 4GB of DDR5. An SSD booter is also a plus, reserving standard HDDs for cold file storage. These days, a system based on Haswell refresh silicon is a fair bet and carries a tag you can live with. I built mine for around two grand, and it is a deluxe machine. You could spend half that if you shop around. If games are all you do, an i5 CPU is plenty. However, content creation requires an i7, or better yet, a Xeon. The Xeon does ECC in larger arrays, but the cost is gonna make your wallet hurt. iCore parts are cheaper clock for clock and much easier to find, also taking standard DDR3 at a much lower price. Just do not skimp on your PSU and system board. Also, go for good cooling. This is not an option.

Thanks for the advise!
