About to get onto modding my 7620. To Come: Sperzel Locking Tuners, Lundgren M-7's or Dimarzio Blaze Custom & EVO....maybe a custom pickguard.

Getting the XL 4x12 Randall cab soon and after that I'll start on the rack gear: ISP Decimator, Rat OD, Morley Wah...Its pretty Azagthoth Fanboyish but Its all gooooood.

I want an ESP SV-NT in Gloss Black...that would be cool.

My dream rig would be:

Warrior custom 7-string through a Mesa Boogie Road King / ENGL SE combination. I'd use 2 oversized Mesa Boogie 4 x 12 cab's with G12K100's and on top 2 Bogner oversized 2 x 12 cabs with V30's.
For effect i'd have the 2290 and Eventide Eclipse, A Groundcontrol to switch it all and a personal slave :bowdown: to carry all the stuff :D

Well, for metal, I think something like:

The custom 7 which hopefully will be done next month or so
Custom 8-string with fanned frets (26.5" to 29" scale or so), prolly from the same luthier
My 1077XL as a backup, only with better pickups

Esp Eclipse I
Some other Esp as backup, maybe a Viper.

The sevens would probably be tuned to standard, as our material is only B standard at the moment. I do hope we'll try A or Ab later too. Sixers would be in D standard / drop C.

Diezel VH4 or Diezel Herbert, I haven't decided which I like more
Mesa Oversized 4x12" cab with 2x v30's and 2x Greenbacks or other smoother elements
Diezel 2x12" cab for smaller gigs

And some nice pedals, and I'll be set.

It seems my dream setup hasn't really changed :lol:

The custom 7 I've already received
Custom fanned fret 8 with a 27.5" to 30" scale. Don't know who'll build it, I've mailed back and forth with the luthier who made my 7, but I haven't heard of him in a long time. I asked him about it some time ago, and all I got was pretty much "Yes, I've worked on it".
Backup seven of some sort

Custom Esp Eclipse
-25.5" scale
-Deep set 3pc maple neck
-Ebony fingerboard, 24 stainless steel frets, 21-24 scalloped
-Alder body with ash top (honduras mahogany would be cool too, but none of that crap ordinary muddy sounding stuff)
-BKP Nailbomb & Fernandes sustainer
-Vintage style tremolo
-Volume, Tone, coil split switch, killswitch, sustainer controls

Custom Esp Viper
-Pretty much the same specs, except a fixed bridge, different body wood and some BKP in the neck instead of the sustainer.

The sevens would probably be tuned to Bb standard. Sixers in drop C#. Eight in F# standard or drop E.

Diezel Vh4
Orange 4x12"

This is for metal only BTW.

Dream setup?


Already got it. Mesa Roadking head with recto 4x12 cab and various 7 strings. Add in a tc Electronics G force and RJM Rg-16 to allow seamless switching in of any additional items. Then controll it all with a ground control pro footcontroller. (clicky for biggy)





It all adds up to win status. :cool::fawk:
