Hey, I've got my eyes on one of them purty Valve Junior heads. The problem is, I only have a B-52 4x12 cabinet, and not a suitable 1x10 or 1x12 speaker cabinet. How would it sound if I ran it through the 4x12? Would there be enough power to be heard and/or get a decent tone? Granted, the...

Hey dudes and dudettes. I've got myself a Gibson Melody Maker Re-Issue with the single p-90 at the bridge. Is there any way I can fit a humbucker into the bridge position? Also, I'm wanting a neck pickup too. How much would having one routed into the body (where there is no pickup) cost me...

I've heard the clean is excellent... However the distortion is crap. Would it be a good blank canvas for stompbox distortions? Is the clean similiar to that of a Twin? Thanks duders.

http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Fender-Blonde-Blues-Junior-Guitar-Amp?sku=480491 Can anyone tell me about the Volume level? Tone? Reliability? I don't particulary trust Harmony Central. Thanks duders.

Hey all. I'm looking for a nice bluesy OD in a nice stombox. I know I can't afford a 1966 Fender Twin to crank up and get the sound I want, but is there anything that will come close? Thanks dudes.

Hey all, I'm looking to form a blues band with the kid down the street from me. He plays rythm and sings, I play lead, we are gunna get his lil bro to play the drums. Can anyone shed some light on how to just plays some basic blues drums? Are there any online sources? thanks for your input.

I know I gotta take the strings off, what should I use to get that sea-green gunk outta my nice jumbo frets? Thanks for your input

Hey all. I've got myself a Marshall VS100H, the old valvestate series head. I bought it used, and the thing is starting to sound a bit funky, plus I don't know how old the pre-amp 12AX7 is. I was thinkin of getting a tung-sol 12ax7 and was wondering if I can pop the old one out and slap the new...

Hey all. I was wondering if you guitar guru's could gimme some tips on trem (double) picking on the bass strings. I can get a pretty nasty rate on high E, but I can barley get Miserlou on low E (or D, in my case :rolleyes: ) Also, I've been trying to figgure out sweep-picking forever, and it...

You guys know any pickups that fit into a guitar routed for p-90's without having to change the body? Thanks for your input.

Thinking about getting one for its portability and such, they got Celestions in them, but I heard they weren't made to well... Anyone have some hands-on-expericence? Thanks for your input

Does anyone here know what guitars, amps, equipment that MC5 used, esecially in the song "Kick out the Jams"? Any input would be greatly apreesh. I'm guessing strats into super-overdriven Twins, possibly with some fuzz thrown in on Kick the Jams...

At some of the local hardcore and ska shows I see alotta Marshall 1960 cabs. However, I've found a few that look very similar to it, but are quite miniscule in size, as if the 1960 was shrunk down to maybe a 4x10. A JCM 800 head will easily overlap on the sides of this, and I'm wondering where I...

Hey all. I recently bought a used Marshall Valvestate 100H (100w head) with a nice 12AX7 thrown in. I love the sound of it, esp. the OD2 channel, but I have a few questions, I was wondering if any of you could answer them. 1. What does the countour knob do specifically? When the guy selling it...

I'm looking at an Epi Vavle Junior (5W, Class A, 8 inch speaker) or a Valve Standard (5W, Class A, 10 inch speaker, DSP FX). Would I be heard over a drummer with an oak (read: LOUD) snare, and a bass 1x12? Also, does the DSP FX on the Standard effect my nice Class A tube Tone? thanks
