    Came across a G&L Strat a few weeks ago. A USA made Legacy. I have to say I couldn't put it down. I was very impressed. Did some research when I got home and found it was a company started by Leo Fender and George Fullerton. What are your thoughts on these guitars? I think I will be picking...

    Silent recording and speaker simulation

    Like many, blasting my amp at all hours of the night is not an option. When recording, I usually plan for when I have the house to myself so I can crank my amp and mic it. But for composing and practicing, I still like to get a good tone. Right now, for playing at night I am pleased with the...

    A Mesa so easy to dial in even Light might like it!

    I tried the 1x12 combo version of one of these overe the weekend http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/electradyne/electradyne.html It blew me away. By far the easiest Mesa to dial in I have ever tried. I honestly think Light might possibly like this one. No joking. This is Mesa's take on...

    Played a blackstar HT5 ministack today. You must try one

    Wow, just wow! This amp blew my freaking socks off today! I have been an advocate for high wattage tube amps because up until today, every real low wattage tube amp I tried couldn't stand a chance against the high wattage ones. Wattage is always more then volume, there has alway been a feel...

    Fixing a chip in the finish of a guitar

    I found a good price on a nice Paul Reed Smith. Problem is it's got a chip in the finish I'd say about 1/4 the size of a dime. Goes all the way down to the Maple. It does have some other more natural wear, but it still looks good with the exception of the chip. Now, I don't expect that it...

    Dumb question regarding cabs and power rating

    I recently got a great deal on a mesa widebody 1x12 cabinet. It has an MC 90 in it rated at 90 watts. My amp, I can setup in 50, 100, or 135 watt mode. Problem is I feel I get the best tone in 135 watt mode. This uses 4 6L6's abd 2 EL34's (The manual says this is 135 watts, I would have...

    anyone here using a tube randall

    I am in the market for a second more portable practice amp. My main amp is a Mesa Roadking (version 1), and I love it. But I have the 212 combo which weighs over 100 pounds. I mic it and record with it. Sounds sweet. But when I want to go to jam with a band, moving it is not practical. So I...
