    Hi folks, Allow me to share this review of the great Carvin DC800 8-string axe. I tried to cover as much ground as possible while keeping it fast and concise. I added a rhythm and lead samples/demo section towards the end (you can check the video description to jump directly to any section). I...
  4. Guitar: Pickups Discussion
    HI guys, I've got a Carvin DC800 that formerly had the active pickups in it. I've put Duncan Peggy and Sentients in it and followed all my normal diagrams, but there is a persistent grounding screech. I can't for the life of me figure it out though. Anyone done this install before?

  8. Guitar: Pickups Discussion
    And a bit of a facelift into the bargain. The install was a piece of cake, god how I love the EMG solderless system. They look and sound fantastic. I loved the EMG's in the RG2228 I had ages ago and I'm really glad I have them back in something. I've been playing my DC800 more & more lately and...

    Grabbed a few pairs of active size passive covers and decided to mess around. My wife has this brand of nail polish she used that has aUV lamp that dries the polish in 30 seconds and its by far the best shit she has used. It lasts unchipped for weeks untill her nails grow out and she has to...

    I've totaled my car and need to fund a new one, it breaks my heart but I have to. Brief & Accurate Description of guitar: This was the first Carvin DC800 to arrive in Europe and one of the 4-5 in the continent. It has a lot of premium specs and it's dead mint. Unreal quality, not a single flaw...

  16. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    But these are! I got hit by the worst GAS I've ever experienced this year. It started this summer. A friend of mine got the DC800, so I went there and checked it out. Within about 30 seconds I was sold, moments later I was already putting in my order... at his place. Couldn't even wait until I...

  19. Guitar: Instrument Discussion
    That's why! Seriously though. I thought this guitar would look a bit boring to be honest. Being just black and all. But I was blown away. So simplistic, yet so classy and so cool, and last but not least: so metal! I've been wanting a black guitar for probably 10 years now, but with all the...
