Didn't "The other Dave" sign a deal with Fender? I see him in the recent Fender bass literature.

Yeah, here's a long interview w/ Dave E.

Guitar.com interview Dave E.

Kerry King's old ESP signature model was pretty much identical to a King V if I remember correctly. I can't remember for sure if it had a Kahler or not though.

One of Kerry's guitars had DiMarzio pickups? [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] For years he's used the EMG 81/85 with PA2 preamp booster.

I'm almost positive the ESP V had EMGs. The regular black one was bolt on and had a rosewood fretboard with dots. The red/white crackle one had ebony fretboard, neck thru, and weirmacht inlays.

Re: The OFFICIAL Word on the Y2KV and Dave Mustaine

I saw a live bootleg with him playing a guitar that did not have EMGs, in fact I was almost certain it was an X2N in the bridge. Not that it matters much anyways.

ok, not a ? on mustaine, but one on these guitars. I know where I can get one of these w/ the American Flag graphic for $400, but it has a crack in the neck where it Joins the body. It's still playable, but it does separate if you apply a lot of pressure, at least by a hair. Anyway, should I get it and repair it? would it be worth anything?

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Is it a USA model? They actually made a few Japanese models last year with that graphic.

Well, now that I think about it, the Jap models were bolt-on. You said the crack is where the neck joins the body, so I guess it's a neck-thru USA. I'd say it would be great for that price if the neck repair doesn't cost too much and will be stable. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

David Ellefson is Megadeth

Ok, you can flame me with that comment, but I'm sure if not for him that band would not have made it past Peace Sells era

Re: The OFFICIAL Word on the Y2KV and Dave Mustaine

David Ellefson wrote some great music - and, he can lay claim to the most recognizable bass riff from the 80's and 90's - Peace Sells (as used all day every day on MTV News).

Wouldn't be Megadeth without Dave.

Slainte!
McD out

Re: The OFFICIAL Word on the Y2KV and Dave Mustaine

Yeah, it wouldn't be Megadeth without Mustaine, but I think Ellefson was the "tie that binds". I think the band would have destroyed itself from within without him. Then there would be no KV-1 and I probably wouldn't have even picked up a guitar in the first place.
