    Egnater rebel 20 - tube upgrade?

    Hey all, i have had the rebel 20 for about 4 months now and i really like it. It has a great range of tones, but I would say that only one or two that i have dialed in really nail a great tone and it can get muddy, especially when pushed with a powerful humbucker. I am trying to get down to one...

    Fixing dings in solid body guitars

    Is it possible to do anything to fix or reduce the impact of small dings on a guitar body? I am thinking about small dents. I know that in woodworking you can use steam or other moist heat options that can sometimes help these, but I wonder if it would work on a guitar body that is already...

    Gibson SG gloat post

    Here is a +1 for obsessively watching craigslist. Scored a 93 SG Standard in excellent condition (maybe 3 small (less than a quarter inch) dings on the body, nothing through the finish) SG in heritage cherry for $500. Apparently my message came in literally one minute before the next person's...

    waiting on an egnater rebel 20 head

    Won one of these on ebay last night, waiting for it to come. I meant to shop around for a nother month but damn the iphone ebay app that just makes it so easy to follow every interestig auction down to the last second. I'm not sure if this is going to be the end-all for me, but from everything...

    soliciting amp reccomendations

    I'm looking for some ideas to downsize 3-4 low to midgrade tube amps to one flexible amp that does two sounds, and does both well-- or alternately does one sound (clean) well and takes pedals well to get the two sounds. Lets say budget tops out at about $1200 and i would probably shop and play...

    anyway to connect two tube amps to one cab

    I know this is death normally, but is there some sort of switch that will do this? I don't mind siwtching out some plugs/cables, but i am worried that one day i will forget and try to play through the unloaded amp. Ideally, i would like to go trhgouh my pedals, then to a A/B/Y box, then to...

    Fender Prosonic

    There is one for sale locally, thoughts on these? Some review seem to indicate that they are really flexible, but there is a solid state component? Normally i wouldn't venture into solid state... Daav

    preamp tube substitutions

    I recently ordered 3 new 12AT7 tubes to replace the original 12AX7s in an early 90's fender blues deluxe and wanted to share my experieinces a bit. I personally am not for great amounts of distortion, and found that the 12AX7's made the amp break up really early and thwarted my desire to get a...

    Eminence Legend 125

    ANyone have any thoughts on these, possible craiglist pickup here, wondering if they are worth it. My other speakers are all hellatone vintage 30s, and the stock speakers in the fender blues deluxe and blues JR. These a good upgrade to the fender amps if gotten cheaply? Thanks Daav

    layla 24/96 first two inputs straight to outs

    Something kind of weird and new just started happening. My first two inputs seem to always be on. Say a mic goes into a preamp, then into input one or two. I can hear input 1 in the right channel, 2 in the left. No software open, just windows desktop. When i open cubase, it records normally, but...

    best delay pedals

    Picking up my first one sometime soon, what is the best bang for the buck at, say, under $150. use would primarily be for Johnny Cash, rockabilly and that sort of thing, i imagine. Modding is an option, i have done a couple of monte allums mods successfully so far. Daav

    parts for a Kurzw. PC 88

    I picked up one of these keyboards at a great price, but it was gigged with in its prior life and the plastic end-caps are broken. That is, on either side are some plastic pieces that are as wide as the keyboard. It plays fine and i don't need to impress anyone with how good it looks, but i...

    wharfedale 8.1 diamonds

    Since the 8.2s that are selling now are getting osme attention, i thought i might list these, as they have been boxed for a while now and it would be nice to send them off to someone else to use. Perfect working condition, very good cosmetic shape, they are missing the placstic/cloth covers...

    wanted: One les paul style "deluxe" tuning machine thingy

    look here on the off chance someone has a drawer of parts around. The metal case (vital to the function as it also serves to hold the part down) on one of my tuning machine things on my LP Studio has broken and won't stay down. Anyone happen to have one of these, from high-E side? That is...

    I have been planning on building a 2 x 12, i have 2 avatar hellatones to put in it (vintage 30s), one is currently in a 1X 12 combo, but i have several amps going through an attenuator then to it, so i use that combo as an open back cab in effect. So on craigslist locally a guy has a great...
