Hi there folks: I am going to get myself one of those huge old 21" CRT monitors, and would like to hear opinions on 2 which I could get used for roughly $100,- I def. need a CRT as I also do a lot of photo processing and the LCDs don't quite cut it yet - and space is not an issue :-) Sony...

everybody mentioning telecasters, and nobody GRETSCH ... hmmmm .... Duanne Eddie, Chet Atkins (and much later Brian Setzer)... are pretty much the fathers of good guitar tone ... just b/c anybody and his dogs in country are playing a tele, doesnt make them the best out there...

stewmac.com should have them ... also ask over at the www.fenderforum.com ... excelent advice, as well best of luck alfred

i dont think that this will help you - but i am pretty sure they used the original ones ... in those times guitar modding was not as popular as it is now (let alone there was no aftermarket) ... and modding in the 60ies was mostly applying a "paisley paint scheme" :D cheers alfred

I play through the Tony Iommy signat. series 4x12 and prefer this tone over my 1972 Marshall cab w/ greenbacks ... (which i personally find somewhat lackluster) very solidly put togeter, too ... if you can - give them a try ... also most of their stuff (until the very recent one) seems to be...

while looking around a 1500 budget, look into a Gretsch Duojet (G6128) ... G.Harrison, Dave Gilmour, jadajadajada

stainless steel and 500V dont mix very well

b4 spending big on a Marshall you might want to look into hiwatts ($$$$$$$$) or into the Sovtek Mig series ($) ... i find that both of those give you more than the M.

if you aint very advanced in playing - stay in minor pentatonic - as this will allow you to solo over minor and mayor chords....

. Folks, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!! I just uploaded the final version - and I am more than happy with how it turned out (thats about as good as it will get with my $380 worth of gear) here you go! http://www.funender.com/music/bands/4912/music.php enjoy the song and once again THX...

yeah, a cheap but rather good way is to get an ADAT (8 channel digital lightpipe input) soundcard (e.g. EWS88)... and go for a Behringer ADA8000 outboard a/d d/a converter w/ integrated preamps ... or any other mixer that has a ADAT in/out should be the best 200 - 250 bucks spent and is a very...

just get the action as high as possible (bridge-side) - and you should be set to go ... cheers alfred

the studio is the best bang for the buck ... they mostly cut down on the trimmings - but its a REAL guitar ... see if you can get an older one (pre 97 or so) cheers alfred

i dont know if its the "best" pedal out there - but i had a boss dd20 which I liked a lot for sound and versatility ... also - a point to bear in mind - this is a ver "practical" pedal that you can really use LIVE (you can store 4 of your own presets) not very much to improve on the dd20 - and...

I have an original 68 Deluxe Reverb (22w) and use it both with the original 1x12" ... and an old (72 or so) Marshall 4x12 cab. The original speaker sounds louder, more "in your face", although the amp cab'd sounds more relaxed - and bigger - as it pushes more air. If you use the cab out jack -...
