Unlikely that many people will get any this year. Daemoness are a better option!

Having owned both, I disagree. Don't get me wrong, Dylan makes a fantastic guitar but the b6 I had for a bit was better quality wise and tonally. In fact the b6 and Daemoness both have the same wood combination too; swamp ash bodies with maple necks.

You cant go wrong with either and I think you get a lot more bang for buck with Dylan though. He is a very nice guy too, I messaged him saying what a great guitar the daemoness that I picked up is (got it second-hand) and he offered to give me advice if I ever need it via phone/messages/etc...

Also about the mods on SSO...I think they just have to play fast and hard because there are only like 3-4 active ones and a huge amount of members now.

The admin himself on SSO is a very busy guy but extremely friendly if you get a chance to talk to him.

Think I will stay here. They just deleted my eBay posts in the classifieds, put a big nasty gram in bold red about posting. Luckily, both are sold.

Karma's a bitch. I used to be a mod here :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL: :lol: :LOL:
 
Fair enough haha :D


I still REALLY want a b7. I first saw them when I was 13-14ish and Im turning 20 in a few weeks...so they've been a bit of a childhood dream.


When I was 13 I was like... "OMG $2400 for a guitar!?!? Ill never have that much money!"
Now you need to be very lucky and have $7500 USD plus be ready to pay a ton of import fees

Living overseas, I don't have to worry about the exchange rates or duties. If need be, I will fly to London and pick it up. Well, you got the Daemoness 7 to hold you over.

Oh right, you're in the Middle East right?

What I'm REALLY waiting on now is my ViK. It was supposed to be done 6 months ago but due to some setbacks it has been delayed. The ViK stuff is hands down the best I have tried but the one I owned was more of a fusion/blues guitar than a metal machine so it was hard for me to judge it tonally.

Also I love how we both have the same taste haha

I don't mind paying up for quality.....and that usually means going to the top of the heap. I got the Mayones stuff to fill a hole, then ordered the Skervesen's when I couldn't get an answer form Blackmachine. Now that I finally did - I will have more stuff to unwind. Although, this Mayones 7MM is pretty damn good. Not sure how the Skerv's will be. Got a 6 and a 7 being done. Skervesen has some insane tops though. Will see how they feel.

That's another reason I gave up on flipping Gibson's. Said to hell with it and threw down for a Gil Yaron.

Some of the SSO mods are here too. I'm certain that they saw or heard about this thread and made you disappear over there. Lame asses, and hypocrites to boot.
 
Sorry...I didn't mean Daemoness are better guitars than Blackmachine, just that it's more realistic / likely that you'll be able to get one!

Hell, I don't care.
 
the SSO mods are a bunch of clowns... I got banned for posting in the classified section and giving a guy a free bump for an INSANE deal....really? The SSO clowns are worried about me, even with all the moron kiddies running around there? Give me a break....
 
SSO mod in a nutshell:

Not all current Blackmachines are Blackmachines, right? I think th ones you can actually get are built by someone else (Feline guitars?). The "real" Blackmachines seem unattainable unless you somehow prove to Doug that you are worthy of the guitar (capable of sustaining the ridiculous level of hype?).

Blackmachine threads on SSO wind up in the garbage because it just ends up a boondoggle between fanbois and haterz, 99.999% have no actual experience with the guitars (I fall into the hater category with no experince).

Have you owned a BM or Daemoness long enough to actually form an opinion on it? :lol: :LOL:
 
Believe it or not you don't need to own a guitar for years to get to know it. It is pretty easy once you know what to look for. :)

About a month is fine anyways.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the interest in my guitars. I don’t know if your aware of this but guys who are into metal hate pop music. The reason we hate it is that it is the soundtrack to the society that metal rebels against. Rampant commercialism of the human soul, vapid obsession with the self, almost non existant attention spans (who’s No1 this week?), detestable senses of entitlement (“I wanna be a billionaire, sooo freakin’ bad..” Bruno Mars). The list goes on. Most pop music that airs these days, typically documents human behaviours that occur at the end of a civilisation. [SIC]

Let us for a minute juxtapose these multitudes of sin with the entirely more socially concerned and responsible attitudes that inspire metal musicians. Metal sees the bigger picture. We see a story of mankind. We see the journey to modern thought. We see history, and the progression of ideas and actions. We see the failure of the human ego when granted power. We see foolish, wise, brave, cowardly,strong and weak people. The main thrust of metals philosophical message is that there is a possibility that the world could end as mankind continues to wail on towards its own self made destruction. For someone born behind the iron curtain Alex, I thought these themes would really resonate with you. But apparently you would rather work with Britney Spears. Please correct me if I’m wrong. I would love to hear that I am wrong about you because then I would know that one more extra person is as concerned for mankind as I am. But, as things stand, I cannot endorse you. I cannot even sell you a guitar.

I see nothing wrong with his response. Some douche of a "touring" guitarist with a lip-synching has-been, emails a guy like Dylan for a free ride endorsement.....yeah, right!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to defend spears' guitarist. I just immediately thought of all the manufacturers out there who would use this as an opportunity to show how the "pros are using their gear" (whether its accurate or not and certainly not saying this guitar player is good at what he does, ive never heard of him), but I'm glad Dylan has enough orders in hand to write on his site that its not possible to order at this time...that's a good spot to be in

I know what you are saying :thumbsup:

I believe he is just a one-man shop too. He's probably got all the business he cares to handle. Don't know though. But, it's good to see a guy have a bit of backbone over profit. Rare this day and age.

Damn straight.... the thought of a guy trying to please the majority when we all know full well that its impossible, is unpalatable. I enjoyed his response immensely because he stands up for what he believes in. I doubt that he lost any business at all from that response... probably the opposite.
