Ah, he might have been. I just meant he was using the Krank amps in general. :P

Krank released the Krankenstein and Dimebag never recorded with it (never played it live either AFAIK). They may just expect people to try it in the shop and like it.
Besides, I think a lot of the popularity of the 5150 amps was due to metal players using them, rather than EVH.

I'm quite certain I've seen a picture of Dime playing through a Krankenstein onstage before. I know for certain he played the regular Krank amp extensively.

I do believe that Dime never played his new Dean signature guitar though, although he did design the body.

That is true. On the last tour he was using the 79 MLs.

Dime did use a Krank of some description when he was on that tour with damageplan.

As for this EVH thing, the way I see it is this. You have the children of rich wannabees, you have rich wannabees and the totally brand brainwashed mugs, which are probably the same but anyway .....These people love a logo and a name it's associated with....Branding is how the marketing men get their money. The guitar industry is no different and from a business point of view it works. Don't let it smart dudes cos' the more money changing hands in our chosen passion, I.E. the electric guitar, the better for us cos we get to use products that WE know are good and that's all that matters to us, Right? 8) It just separates those in the know and those who are a bunch of dickheads!

i agree with that Jonny, but at the same time the endorsee is having a big pay check waved in there face..

if someone came up to me and said we'll pay you x ammount to play Ibanez, EMG and Peavey XXX.. i'd do it.

but i'll tell u now i'd prefer my strat, Bkp and splawn.. :P

coz at the end of the day these people want to get that "tone" there favourite artist has and it's generally achievable with other gear and the ability to be able to play like them..

It doesn't bother me one bit if they get a huge endorsee cheque either, good luck to them. The people who buy the stuff love a brand and that's what they get so it's all cool with me! I got free stuff for saying a few quotes in a bike mag when i dispatched in London and i knew the stuff was cr@p! $%&# it who gives a toss? Freebies are nice and free money is heavenly! People have been mugged of with 'Snake Oil' for since the dawns of time, you just have to know your subject and spot a salesman's bollocks!
