Got one in partial trade for the vintage Pro Reverb. I'd played them before, briefly, and liked them. PLUSSES: 1. Good tube tone, even before you push the power tubes hard. 2. Modeling does sound pretty good (Example: compared the three "British" settings to my EL-84-equipped Peavey Bravo-...

http://www.usedprice.com/aboutus.php Wondering if they are accurate. Anybody?

I got a few pups, including one HB. It's got NO markings on it- nothing. Here's as complete a description as I can give: Standard HB size. Gold cover. one row of pole-piece screws, gold. Potted with black "was." G type mounts, but short, only raise pup about 1/4" from a flat surface. wire...

I reached up to my guitar wall and pulled down the strat copy with the Epiphone OBL pups on it. Now, I've been playing that guitar, equipped like that, for years, even have the same strings on it for several months. Always sounded decent, if not thrilling. But today, it sounded like the runs-...

If he really DID rape this guitar, there is nothing more to say... http://crazyaboutguitars.webs.com/vintagecoolguitarpic.htm

The Acrylic shell thread got me thinking about this. If one were buying shells for about 95% studio use, what would one buy? Please, try to limit discussion to SHELL construction, not cost/budget, brand, size, etc. Also keep tuning, mics, heads, etc. out of it, too- I am going on the premise...

The owner of the Giller (Matchless clone) was posting his amp to Craigs list even after we 99% agreed on a deal, and the amp was not exciting me, anyway. Nothing else was looking like a sweet deal for me, and then this came up on craigslist: http://www.gretschdrums.com/?fa=drums&sid=573 Sale...

There's one on Craigs list, guy says he is not getting a signal from the combo, suspects it's the DJ-8. He wants $65 for both, as-is if he can't fix it himself. What's this mic like? I know it's got a tube (12AX7 I would suppose) but that is no guarantee of quality. Any chance the DJ-8 is...

Somebody posted to Atlanta Craigs list, selling a FENDER BASSMAN TEN, with this in the body: Older Model Relatively New Speakers (Paper cone) 2 sets of tubes included Not original fabric design. 150.00 OBO E-mail for picture. Fool that I am, I FREAKING ASKED THEM TO SEND ME PICS instead of...

Posted the Hot Rod Deluxe on Craig's List, and got some interesting offers. Here are the ones I am considering in decending order of what I think is the best deal. 15watt Matchless Lightning Clone built by Ed Giller and Earcandy cab with 1-12. VOX ad120VT with VC-12. These might have...

Tubeworks wants a whopping $599 for amatched pair of 12AU7's they say have received the "black Sable" Treatment. WTF IS that? How can it possibly make a tube that otherwise would sell for as low as $7.95 for a Sino? I don't doubt Sinos are cheap, maybe even crap tubes, but, really, SIX...

Both use 2 6V6 power tubes tubes. But Deluxe makes 22 watts, Princeton 15. Only tube dif. I see is Deluxe has more 12A_7's. Could that be it?

I love my little Monkey-Wards all-tube 5-watt amp. 4 tubes total, including one rectifier and one for tremolo, and it goes well into tube-OD territory at and above about 4 on the volume control. But it's best feature (that tube-OD) is at other times it's worst, too. There are times when I...

So, looks like I can't unload either the 77 Silverface Pro Reverb OR the RI Hot Rod Deluxe this time 'round. (FWIW, I have them both because they were both good deals.) Really, though, they are looking more and more like the same amp. Here's why: Pro was rebuilt thoroughly to, as best I can...

Someone on the "Best Hard Drive" keeps all his HD recordings on the original hard drives. We prefer to burn a DVD copy and archive it. There are other means, of course- tape, saving file to a server, sending file to an off-side service's server. What's the best, or at least, what are pros and...

I've been on a smaller-is-better quest for a year or two, seems to be the way for me to go. Fender Twin then Pro then Deluxe... and have been lusting after a Princeton (all reverb models) but decided the Champ is a bit noisy and not the best cost-benefit wise, and anyway I have a 5-watt amp...

And no wise-guy jokes about KY... What are some good pot cleaners? (Potetiometers, not cannabis...)

Bought a DigiTech RP-7 more than a decade ago, because I didn't want to go thru several rounds of single-effects pedals to find what I liked. About two years ago, I realized I only used a few effects and a few patches, so I copied my top four to User positions i thru 4, made a few minor tweeks...

Wanting to upgrade from the Epiphone OBL singles in my strat copy, I saw a post on Atlanta Craigs List for some pups, including a SSS set of Fender Bullet's. Seller says they are from an '83 Japan Squire Bullet 1, resistance is 7.2 ohms. He also said the guitar was a great piece, solid alder...
