My New Sub Just Came In!

Thanks, and hairless to boot! :D
As far as registering it, its brand new but I bought it off Ebay...is it still cool?
 
Noice...eBay was supposed to notify me about the auction status on the black one and never did, so I missed out on that one....sweet score, man - congrats!

(Anyone else have this problem with their notification service? It's really gotten crappy over the last several months for me...:mad: )
 
eBays been having lots of technical issues since the change to the new "My Ebay" (a couple of months ago as you describe) they are still working out the bugs.

Very nice, by the way, congrats!
 
Thank-you, and it plays and sounds just as sweet...kinda makes me regret that late night 7 string Wayne custom purchase :eek:

Wayne as in one of the new Wayne Charvel guitars ? Did you get that in Ottawa ? What store has them ? Like it ?
 
Hey Raz, congrats on your new SUB! If you don't mind me asking - and for the edification of your fellow Canucks - what was the $$ damage on delivery for taxes and brokerage fees?

A Wayne seven too? Did you win the lottery or something? :D

The Wayne guitar, I won on Ebay. I haven't got it in yet, but when I do...I will let you know. It was very late...like 2:00AM and in fact I have never heard of Wayne guitars...but I have heard of Charvel...I couldn't resist getting a hand made one-of-a-kind 7 string AAA birds eye maple, ebony fretboard guitar with EMG 707's and an original Floyd Rose for a 1000.00 USD. I would never, ever have had the opportunity to see a guitar like this in Ottawa...it was a once in a life time investment...I guess.

Hello Jimi and thanks, no I don't mind, in fact its good to know... but the Sub1 I purchased from a fellow Canadian, so it didn't cost me anything in xtras. But I do have 2 more coming in from the states...I will let you know then. As far as the Wayne goes...I didn't sleep the night I purchased it, and I still feel all wierd inside my stomach...credit, unfortunately can be an evil friend...but the way I look at it is I can't lose...if I can't keep it, I'm sure I can find it a new home...but my balls stay with me forever!

I had a lot of fun with my Universes - I owned three over a period of about five years, and it was a kick to pull them out and play them from time to time, but I never seriously used them, and the novelty factor of the seventh string eventually wore off, and I let the last one go about three years ago... They're cool guitars, but not very comfortable to play with those huge necks, at least if you have a Hendrix thumb-over style of playing like me ;)

As for Ebay, it can be evil! If you look at the "gone guitars" section of my website, most of those axes came off Ebay over the years... It's a funny thing, the only guitars I've purchased off of Ebay and kept, have been my EBMMs...
 
Well I've been lucky so far...and I am pretty much done now...again with the 7 string...I'll give it a try...
 
Dumb Question...

Ok, I'm not stupid or anything, but I can't find alot of info on these Sub Guitars, and I certainly haven't located one to play around here, so I have to ask, what is a "Sub"? My first thought was that it was a baritone or somthing but the scale looks normal in the pictures. I've seen the sub basses too, and the main difference appears to be the satin finish and the pickguards.

Could somebody please educate me on the differences between these guitars, and the other models?

Well to the best of my knowledge, comparison wise, I would say they are like an entry level Silhoutte...I mean they have that Srat-like shape. As far as the guitar itself goes, for the money, nothing comes close...even American made guitars which are more expensive. I have a Wolfie with a Dimebag Duncan and I find the stock pups in my Sub 1 sound warmer and cleaner, yet very crunchy and full of character. The action on my Sub 1 is incredible, and the locking machine heads...man you cannot get better than this...changing strings is like changing underwear...man I'll never by another nut-lock floyd again...jeesh!
