should be the best year of your life. Get the fuck out of your dungeon of DOOM!!!

 

EDIT: Sorry, don't take that personally, you probably have a wide and varied social life :)

 

Not as much as I'd like really. Best year of my life because on my 21st birthday I'm going to get smashed.

 

Just this time it's legal.

 

Jim told you about my dungeon of doom? :pope:

Haven't gotten an email confirmation yet. When I called asking about my deposit I just said is there anything else I need to tell yall now for me to be good to go and told them the spec's again of what I wanted to be sure they had everything right. They also told me to email them my contact info which I did.

 

As far as me still being 6th in line I'm not counting on being there anymore.

 

Turning 21 is the last good birthday you'll have. Put your phone away and go crazy. I'm 3 months from 22 and it blows.

Yeah they did ask what spec I wanted, but that's it really. There might be confirmations later on I guess. I'll ask next time I have to contact them.

 

It's not THAT bad after 21 is it? not enough alcohol?

 

:LOL:

 

:pope: I don't get what's so funny. I could be in big trouble now that the world knows.

 

 

nope, building my own :-D

 

 

 

how did I miss this? post some progress pics! it'll be like a trip back to ... 2005 ...

 

I thought you weren't making another one - is a glitter manson replica next? :p

I'm going up for my private check ride in less than 2 weeks! I want to tackle instrument, but the private set me back a bit...

 

Yeah it's a great feeling getting done with private, very expensive though. Instrument flying really makes having a license useful and its easy.

Aye, a bit too impulsive.

 

I decided to cancel the deal right away, some things are concerning me. I noticed the shipping was estimated to deliver in a month. I would have moved by then, and some things concerned me with this picture.

The input jack, and action. I did a read on some of these guitars, and most are barely useable. Trus rod not functional, necks warped beyond all use.

 

I'd like one as a project in the near future though, I like them!

moar jack white?

 

 

i would higly avoid anything from USSR/socialist/iron curtain etc. builders.

There is a lot of vintage stuff left over in my country like that, no one actually uses them and they were not used back in the 70s either. (i mean if someone had a choice to use something different) If a band could afford it they played Gibsons and Fenders.

the action looks a mile high, but clearly that's just the MIDI jack

So what is so horrible about them? You never see any of those in the US. At least, I haven't come across any. I'm still a firm believer that any properly set up guitar through a good rig has the potential for greatness. I went to a Cold War Kid's show the other night, and the lead singer was using a squier strat and sounded great!

 

James, it only seems to have a MIDI jack. I know little to nothing about MIDI, how do you get sound out of it?

 

Edit: But then again, if the key components of the guitar make it IMPOSSIBLE to be set up right (bad truss rod, caveman hammered frets etc), then they truly are shite.

I think if i had the money to be buying lots of guitars, one or two of them would be nice to have in a collection, but i'd still rather the likes of a Haagstrom, Tiesco, Goya or Airline. They're pretty interesting though. I've never come across any USSR guitars before, but they're pretty interesting. If anything, their shapes are cool. They remind me of things like the Bauhaus and De Stijl stuff. Heh, a russian deconstructivism guitar... sure....

They come from an era where the "market" was real bad for making quality "luxury items" like an electronic guitar. lot of stuff was just manufactured by political order so the people couldn't complain about the closed socialist market. "Look, we have everything what the soon-to-be collapsing West have" There were no competition between brands, no quality control, no quality materials, the customers were poor, the manufactory could get away with any grotesque joke of a guitar cos the customers should be thankful just to hold one, not complaining about shit like tuning stability, neck bow, intonation etc.

 

When i started playing and posted on some forums about what starter stuff i should get i saw a lot of conversations with the same outcome. The guy found his fathers old guitar, found one in the attic. etc. "Look, i have this old *insert some russian like name here* guitar, can i learn how to play guitar on it?"

Then the guys were told that his PoS guitar's only useful feature that it can make some heat in a fire place and he should get at least a Squier.

Most of the complaints were about heroic but failed attempts at setting the intonation, struggling with tuning stability, optimistic guys thinking that their guitars' frets can be leveled. etc. The service costs would be higher than buying a cheap squier which would be better than them anyways.

it sounds like a sort of worse-than-londaxe type situation, where the guitar has a lot of really interesting features (shape, tone, switches etc) but the actual execution of them (craftsmanship, electronics, durability etc) is pretty poor. That being said, there must have been some guitars around that time that were actually quite decent, because the likes of Haagstroms and some Japanese brands are pretty highly sought after. The guy from Franz Ferdinand used a Haagstrom for a long long time. Not sure what he uses now.

 

At the end of the day, isn't it the person who's playing the guitar the one who decides if they like it or not??

:LOL:

 

surprisingly not (at least from the 70s)

 

sometimes the bands or at least the lead singers ended up in prison for 1-2 days after a gig and sometimes there were some "police brutality" against the audiences but generally they let rock music and even some anarchist punk going on because the leaders tought that if the kids can rebel through music then there won't be a big revolution against the system.

surprisingly i would say that the hungarian music peaked at that time, it all went downhill since, now it's somewhere under the frogs ass.

There were a band called LGT which was heard by the Rolling Stones' manager at that time and the guy thought that they could be his new moneymaking hit band and he wanted to send them on a tour accross the USA and started to organise it but the comrades wouldn't let the band to stay for longer times in the USA. (they started to fuck with passports, the band would have gone to prison if they returned from the USA etc.)

Nevertheless there were some fine ass recordings from that time, not always too original cos the kids wanted sounds from the West and Coca Cola.:LOL: (it could sound interesting for an american but coca cola was like the symbol of freedom here)

Fun times.:awesome:
