Over 1100 posts and nobody has any answers to the real questions brought forth by this wonderful and insightful thread.

1. Everywhere you look Billy boy looks like a moron, yet some well known and respected people are seemingly endorsing his amps. Why?

2. Billy went from building amps that look like absolute garbage to reasonably a well built board in a weak looking chassis. No one knows who did the builds?

It would be interesting to see who is helping him. Maybe Mark Cameron took on some side work????

I believe turretboards.com is making and stuffing his boards for him but don't quote me on that. I know for 100% fact that they are farmed out however.

Or perhaps:
1) Maybe they sound like a shart?
2) Maybe they are built by small children in Indonesia?
Ya just never know until you're invited to take the tour

Bad enough I have to hear about Billy Blades here but when I go to a Randy Rhoads FB page I see Billy Blades all over trying to pimp is amps out!! And he wishes Randy was alive to hear his amps!!

Here are his quotes!!

Some amps promise... we DELIVER ! WE ARE HUGE RANDY FANS!
He was a gift to the guitar universe and we got the Tone!
You supply the licks !

I wish Randy was alive so he could hear this!

Randy was a Big inspiration in playing and in my tone quest. Very much missed but happy he laid down some incredible tracks while here.
Mike Himmel pays him tribute in our demo video and I love seeing it in there. Hope you enjoy
Taken a listen.

oh no, that horrible. he has always been a shameless self promotionist. but damn, wishing randy was alive to hear his amp. wow, he has gone bonkers, berserk, insane, batty, mad, nuts, psychotic, cuckoo, loony, mental, deranged, schizo, psychopathic, sociopathic (we always knew he was a sociopath), but tainting the tribute page of RR!!! he has gone to far, and I for one am not going to stand for it, shit, I better watch out or I will get SLICED BY THE BLADEZ!!!

Yes Bob, that's how it works... You see, if you don't have copyrights on your music, it is unprotected, hence it can be stolen.

I've heard your hair-metal era guitar stylings... I recall it was a video with you and Steve Henning? My drummer and I were laughing our asses off! It was like watching MTV circa 1985, only the images weren't pleasant to look at. You should do another one of those, just for the comedy relief. For what it was, I thought Steve was/is the better player.

I'm doing my best, but I'm going to need more support to break my 75 page record at TGP. You're a great crowd, not nearly as difficult as TGP... Now those are some savvy posters!

You haven't got the foggiest idea about copyrighting music, otherwise you wouldn't be claiming it's the reason you don't have your music out there. It's very simple, besides, you're flattering yourself if you think you're doing something so unique that it's going to be outright stolen. There's nothing new under the sun.

As far as my playing, yeah man, I totally suck but at least I've got the guts to put it all out there.

Don't tell me people don't steal! Where are mine and my friends royalties for the slang term byotch?

What you put out there wasn't a complete composition... That was you and Steve playing licks, with no real purpose or reason. It's what I call guitar olympics. That will be stolen from me too, just watch.

As far as there not being anything new under the sun... That's a piss-poor attitude, and one that I won't bother addressing.

Question:
- If I were to post and original composition, what would prevent someone from stealing my music?
- If I were to post the chorus to one of my compositions, what would prevent someone from stealing the lyrics?

God, you just never shut up do you. Bob and Steve are both good guitarists. There's no question about that. Like it would be a bad thing to be not quite as good as Steve. Makes me wonder if you can even play. What a douche.

For the record, I thought Himmel's demo was really good. But I have a feeling he can make pretty much anything sound good.

Question:
- If I were to post and original composition, what would prevent someone from stealing my music?
- If I were to post the chorus to one of my compositions, what would prevent someone from stealing the lyrics?[/

burn a cd of your music, seal in a padded envelope, then send to yourself and leave it sealed. someone could try to take it but then you could prove you wrote it, the date will be stamped by usps on envelope. do that, then you can post your music and not worry too much.

Well......good or bad Ya'all are giving Blades advertising. You could always find Mark Cameron on FB and test the trust factor that you will ACTUALLY get an amp. Carry on.

Maybe the boards are assembled in China .

 

[just42dave]

have I missed something
;0

 

[charveldan]

Want a BB toy amp buy it.


If not don't.

How can anyone take him srsly and this point.

He should write a book, "1001 ways not to sell a product".

Who gives a fuck anyway.

Im sure there are alot of "Dirty Steves" waiting to happen.

 

[R Weaver FX]

The mod I'm really digging the clips of is the "Burning Rain" mod done by Nick/dawnofadreamx97.
His clips sound great with no studio trickery.

He should write a book, "1001 ways not to sell a product".

If Dave Friedman of RACK SYSTEMS ever writes that book, rule #1 will be, "DO NOT MOD AN AMP FOR CHARVELDAN!"
