New DT Video: Lots of EBMM Content

[PeteDuBaldo]

Jordan Rudess, perhaps?

I like that opening riff. Dang it. DuBaldo, I think I need a 7.

Yes you do, and I think it just so happens that I have 1 left in stock...

Ah Jordan, I forget about him sometimes. I've been talking to Gustov about a JP7 too for some time. Can't decide............too many goodies.

Get one of the 20ths before they are gone.

I couldn't agree with you more.. I really wish they brought back this color. I'd buy one in a heart beat!

Pete (Andrapos) - are you able to find the exact color and paint one?

If I knew what the manufacturer paint code was, and if I could get my hands on some of the paint, then, yes! Otherwise I just come "pretty close"

 

[roburado]

Yes you do, and I think it just so happens that I have 1 left in stock...

Yeah. I'll get around to it eventually. But, it'll have to wait. Besides, I owe you money.

Bongo 6-String signature

I'd like to see John Myung playing EBMM basses again . I think he'd do more ,and generate sales for EBMM.Petrucci & Myung would sell alot more basses then someone who's living the "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" and got a signature guitar after being a 1 hit wonder on MTV.But don't worry P.R.S signed the rythmn guitarist in that band ..and gave him a signature guitar as well. I wonder of those two will be doing any clinics , or appearing at G3 this coming year?.... I think I'd rather go see a clinic put on by Myung & Petrucci ,and I'd buy a guitar from somebody who actually has made his mark on the industry for over 20 years with more then 3 chord progressions.Then some child mad at his parents for getting him the wrong sippy-box for his lunch..in the Punk rock riddled streets of Potomac, Md..Yeaaaaaaah Boiii

 

[germangallardo]

I love that JP7 colour I wish it was available again

 

[JSX]

It's so wierd seeing John Myung use a pick towards the end of the video.

 

[Big Poppa]

Hey Newbie! Search Benji...then riff on Hunter.

 

[visualrocker69]

JP uses both the BFR F-1 and the standard JP7. John Myung also wields a bongo.

YouTube - Dream Theater - The Dark Eternal Night In-Studio

He uses the BFR in that? I didn't see it.

 

[roburado]

Yeah. It's in there. I think it's shown during one of the choruses. Actually, it's the F-1 Proto.

 

[HunterSThompson]

Please accept a NEWBIE's Apology

Hey Newbie! Search Benji...then riff on Hunter.

Sorry Sir ...I just found my Guitar World with Benji Madden's "Betcha Can't Play This" video .I am now convinced Benji Madden is on the same playing field & level as Steve Morse , Albert lee , John Petrucci & Steve Lukather .Also is the word "Newbie" always used as a durogitory word .I know this is your forum "Big Poppa"..and for expressing views that don't match up with yours I'll be banned within moments of posting . I was just on the forums asking questions & opinions..didn't mean to be a "Newbie"..I didn't know talking about someone with guitar skills that where not up to normal standards of other EBMM Signature guitar artists..That ..I would be treated like Don Imus ...But it's your forum ....So please accept this NEWBIE's Apology ..I'm sorry you had to yell at me

 

[CudBucket]

I can't believe that's all Mark IV and Mark IIC+. Sounds recto-heavy to me during the main riff.

 

[Big Poppa]

Hunter Relax......Newbie is a term of endearment around here. Fresh Meat.....

The hint was that in enthusiasm relatively new guys and gals bring up concepts that have been beaten to death. THe search funtion can answer many questions.

But just so you understand where Im coming from (and you dont feel like searching)......

We are fortunate to have the veruy best players in the world. I am so proud of that. Please understand that hindsight can make you very accurate but in real time you dont know what we were thinking or where we stood as far as orders..

Most of our marketing is surrounded around ERnie Ball Stuff, Warped Tour, Snowboarding, Skateboarding crowd. To not have a guitar in that market is kind of dumb. Also keep in mind that when we did it we werent back ordered 6 months and needed any chance of a widening of our customer base. Sadly by the time the Benji came out with the next record it stiffed and the guitar didnt sell very well. What did it cost us? Almost nothing. It was based on an existing design (silhouette) it required zero programming and tooling except for one rout and the inlays. I would be willing to bet if you were running a company and you could get the hottest band at that time regardless of virtuoso pedigree that was all over TV, internet and magazines you would prefer that they play your guitar and expose your headstock.

The only thing in your post that rubbed me wrong if anything is a fellow player bashing another.

I bet it´s a rectifier!

The Mark-head is just in the back with no lights turned on, so I guess it wasn´t used. I think this dark growl comes from a recti, it would just be typical.

Hm, rectifier....good point, asking myself if I should get one!?

Sorry ...for getting my hairs up ...I love your product (not blowing sunshine up there..just stating a fact) ..I think it's awesome that you actually get on these boards . I was just shocked when you backed him .I mean you have a list of endorsees..Moore,,Levin..Larue ..besides your Signature guys..that have actually contibuted to the growth of music in their respected fields .I also am very excited about any effort you put forth to get Myung to play mor EBMM .I still remember his sound from the S.I.R shows..and Sundance gigs back on the Island. And whatever rumours or things left unsaid ..If this BONGO 6 goes forth .....MYUNG & BONGO-6 it's like peanut butter & jelly time..It just goes ..Like I mentioned elsewhere ..You have alot of people whom use to play SR4&5'swhom now play other companies 6's..just waiting..and they will jump ship .I'm heading up to New York this weekend for a benefit in N.Y.C..and bass players are talking ..It's not just a couple collectors on the EBMM forum..So best of luck ...and I love the Sil. Baritone 6 ..also amazing that you released it under the OLP brand..KUDOS

 

[Big Poppa]

thankx hunter

keep in mind that 5 to 10 years from now there may virtuosos that were attracted to the guitar initially by Binji....its all about the guitar..growing players keeping players

 

[slukather]

I have been listening to the new Dream Theather songs, they just aren't growing on me, i guess cause l'm a fan of Images and Words up to SDOIT, after that they lost me, Train Of Thought wasn't bad, it was a new level of heaviness, but now that heaviness has bored me, the middle section (or as l call it, the boring section) sounds like different peices of music lumped together. John Petrucci is a good guitarist and John Myung is a brillant bass player, but they need some direction, they need a good producer to come in and crack the whip, and not do it themselves, l bought Octavurium, l think l'll skip this release. I hope the rest of you enjoy it.

The new Rush album on the other hand is brilliant, Alex Lifeston has 90% more mojo than alot of guitarists out there.

That's what I thought. In fact, I still think it's a Road King. But some dude on JP's site told me that JP himself said at a meet and greet, that there were no RKs or DRs on the new album.

 

[roburado]

IIRC I read on some board that it was all MkIV and IIC+, but what do I know?

 

[roburado]

...Train Of Thought wasn't bad, it was a new level of heaviness, but now that heaviness has bored me...

Yeah. It's boring me now to a certain extent. I want it heavier.

 

[slukather]

Yeah. It's boring me now to a certain extent. I want it heavier.

Heavier?????? hehe, l guess l must be getting older, i used to dig alot of heavy music, but not so much now, the same with long guitar solos, give me a nice melodic solo over a million notes a second.

Scott.

 

[Big Poppa]
