Went to the L.A. show on 7/20 - doors opened @ 2:30 - Periphery went on at around 8:45, AAL @ 9:40 and Dillinger closed the show starting around 10:30 and played till about 11:30. Anyone remember when these things went till 2AM? Feels like its geared towards highschool kids now.... As...

Kinda pissed in retrospect, saw Misha/Tosin sitting together outside HOB before the show and didn't hollar something stupid and cliche at them, although I should have. Show was good too, btw.

Just got the free Jamup XT and the Metal Exp Pack II (Sig Metal Pack) @ $9.99 - those suckers got me with their nice marketing vids. You can also download the presets used in the videos through the share section in the app. Ironically those videos were mostly created using the 5150-style amps...

I too opted for the standard 20-inch radius, I cant imagine having any flatter of a fretboard being a good thing, this already has less curve than my LTD and my 'ol Strat, but just a slight curve so it feels nice on sweeps etc. Hope that helps, sorry about your broken digit....lol (sorry that...

After all the back and forth I did on the guitar-builder, I ended up calling to ask a few questions about binding etc., and they did my custom order and payment all over the phone and faxed me a confirmation minutes later. When in doubt, just call them =) I <3 my DC800

I never got a card (grrr) but when I called they gave me a date exactly 7 weeks from my order date. A month later I called for progress and they moved it another week, to the max 8 week mark. Also, good choice on paying the extra for hand-picked Claro, I was picky about it but chose NOT to...

Just my 2-cents, guitar didn't feel like a 500$ guitar... could have sounded metal with new pups sure, but you can do that to any guitar, cant you? It just didn't feel good to me, again for the money your better off getting an 7 or 8 IMO.

FWIW - I played the guitar when shopping for baritone/ERG options, I wanted ERG range but wasn't willing to commit to a 7 or 8 string. The guitar didn't strike as me a solid, 'Metal' guitar, more like the detuned blues type feel. Also, with the shorter length, FAT ass neck and super thick...

Learning by ear? ha! no seriously that IS better... Head over to Ultimate-Guitar.com and enjoy the tab selection. You will just have to pick a band or 2 that utilizes the all-mighty 8-string (Mesh, AAL etc.). I would also recommend getting Guitar Pro 5 and using those files if you want to...

I just received my DC800, from everything I have read a 5-piece neck will help with some stability but one-piece is more than fine- I decided to get a maple neck w/ walnut stripes to match the walnut wings, and those lines look sick! SUGGESTION: I went with Satin finish as I felt the Tung oil...

Waiting for an Abasi/Jarzombek collab... can someone send Ron an email in San Antonio and get him in gear? Gosh...

Sick! Welcome to the Carvin Club - be prepared for serious gassing for another one...

It may be the brand of strings you are using - I have read in other threads how some of the better brand strings have a higher string tension even at a lower gauge, I am guessing due to core thickness and also materials used. So I am going to try a set of Circle K's on my DC800 (just ordered...

How are you liking the difference in tone? Less noise etc.? I feel like my DC800's stock pups are aggressive and sound pretty good but are too hot as most will agree. The DA8's are in my top 3 choices for pup-swap along with those new SD's and Lace X-Bar. Did you consider any other options...

CARVIN!

I just got a DC800 recently and noticed similar effects, playing very lightly and using lighter picks really helped on the low F# and B. Firstly, the factory uses those light Elixir strings, they feel great but are definitely too light on the low end - I am currently looking at Circle K strings...

Dude! Sick! HNGD! I just got a DC800 myself, and after many hours of research I am heavily leaning towards the Deathbars.... maybe a Deathbar/X-Bar setup... CLIPS!! REVIEWS!! Nice quilt!

Is this not the same EMG fanboi post in like EVERY ERG pup discussion? ^^^^ I think you're barking up the wrong tree, most ppl on here are WAYYYY over EMGs at this point... :noway: I'm with most of the masses, stuck deciding on: BKP vs. new SD's vs. Lace (seems like Lundgren M8 has fallen out...

Here she is in HD baby! :shred: If anyone can tell me how to edit my original post to include these that'd be great- also would love to imbed the pics but I think that requires hosting on another server somewhere? :scratch:

I know what you mean about not feeling like an 8, at least compared to the Ibbys I've tried. Guy at Sam Ash was saying how the neck is much narrower and I think I agree, very comfortable. After about 2 hours of playing last night I don't think Ill be able to give her back to Carvin and wait...
