Submariner85 Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 Got one of these today. I'm impressed with the sound and the gadgets these come with.
tomteriffic Posted December 5, 2007 Posted December 5, 2007 I have something coming, part of a horse-trade deal with Most Esteemed Redhead.I've had a Micro Cube sitting under the end table by my couch almost since we moved into this house. Love it. A very cool gizmo. So cool that I've been thinking about a Cube 30 as a grab-and-go jam amp.
seeker Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Don't know if you count these as early presents, but have been on my really, really want list the last few years: GE UK Branded Mullards, and not for a kings ransom either.
DavidE Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Not me, but we gave my son a Wii last night for the first night of Chanukah and Super Mario Bros' whatever the new game is for Wii tonight. Schweet schtuff.
clmazza Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Happy Festivus to me! Sorry fellas... not a Hamer
bbobb24 Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 I've picked up a couple of little amps in the last couple of weeks, a 1x10 Velocette in plaid and a Swart Space Tone.I'm really hoping that another couple of early presents to myself arrive before the holidays.......
Guest JackButler Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Me and the Spousal Unit just celebrated our first Anniversay over the weekend.. we put the kids with the brother-in-law and spent 5 days in South Beach Miami...did lots of shopping.. went and did a whole spa day together.. ate at some INCREDIBLE restaurants.. Tantra, Smith & Wollensky, etc.. she didn't/wouldn't let me look at a single check/tab/receipt.. I think the only thing I picked up was a couple of cigars.
ZR Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 . she didn't/wouldn't let me look at a single check/tab/receipt.. I think the only thing I picked up was a couple of cigars. What?!

I just got a USA Dean as well...the first puclicly available Hardtail, Serial #3...Crap it won't let me attach a pic...says something about permissions etc. oh well. SWEET! Does it happen to be blue? ... and does it have the standard stoptail piece rather than the traditional Dean one?
Guest Meshuggah Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Happy Festivus to me! DAYUM! Tone Report please?
clmazza Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Tone Report please? Well... as long as I won't offend anyone! I don't want to derail the thread... The pickups simply KILL! I understand these are custom wound by DiMarzio for Dean... I need to slap a meter on them and OHM 'em out. The body is slightly thicker than a typical singlecut axe mainly due to the chambers which I believe adds substantially to the resonance. This thing rings forever after you strike a chord or single note. Grab the headstock after hitting a note and you can feel it vibrate and sustain until the least audible sound is heard. SWEET! Sonically it's a beast! I don't know if it's the chambers, the pups or just the lumber chosen for this beauty... but whatever it is, it can scream or purrrrrr! With the bridge pup engaged, it can spew venom. Flip it to the middle position and I can manage great rhythm work with surprising clarity. Slam her into neck pup land and the "womanly tone" can be coaxed from her gullet. Overall a superb axe and the finest USA Dean I have.... Dean really hit on a wonderful formula. A pretty cool bonus for me... this actual Soltero appeared in Dean's ad in November's Guitar Player Magazine.
ZR Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 SWEET! Does it happen to be blue? ... and does it have the standard stoptail piece rather than the traditional Dean one? Yes and yes...what are you the CIA?!! Actually, probably DOA (Dean Owners of America) ; ) I got a pic in my post above.

Yes and yes...what are you the CIA?!! Actually, probably DOA (Dean Owners of America) ; ) I got a pic in my post above. Congrats on a really fine Hardtail! I know the previous owner (Scott). That is indeed a great find... I was seriously contemplating buying it when I was speaking with him earlier in the year. He's a great guy and I'm sure you'll find that the guitar is in spectacular condition!
Guest JackButler Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 ZR,...thanks..but..right now.. I think I'll keep her! LOL!
kurtsstuff Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Well.....It's like christmas for me all year long but....thats more of an acute Illness than anything else......lol!!
Jay Carney Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 Just picked this up this morning from UPS -- Merry Christmas to me!! Should make a great sister guitar to my Studio Custom:

mathman Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 As I mentioned in my monitor help thread I got some Rubicon R5's, a new but cheap but pretty good large diaphragm (it's not really but that's what they call it) condenser mic and the Rubicon sub88's are on the way. Can't use any of it till Christmas though. Can't let the kids have their presents early so I don't get mine either.
kizanski Posted December 6, 2007 Posted December 6, 2007 I got myself something, but I have to hide it or I'll end up finding it, opening it too early and spoiling the surprise.I already know my usual hiding places, so it gets more and more difficult with each passing year.Gosh , I hope I like it.
