the one I tried was at Sam Ash, they just got it in. I don't know about older ones, but this one had 4/8/16ohm outs and also said it had Celestion speaker. i tried it and liked the sound, but again decided that it's too loud for my purposes, there's no way to crunch it without killing my cat :)

On pups with individually adjustable pole pieces - is there a difference between getting the whole pickup closer to strings vs. moving it away, but adjusting the poles closer?

When making solder joints in electric guitars (i.e. connecting wires to POTs, etc.) would it be a good idea to "coat" the joint with something that would prevent oxidation? First thing that came to mind is superglue. Thanks!

Just received mine (gold/pearl covers to match my LP copy). Will have to wait to swap them until it's time to change strings. I also ordered a replacement bridge, straplocks and Wilkinson locking tuners (which are a pretty smart design and why don't we have that on all our tuners?). So I...

Ok, I know, my guitar is a cheap Asian LP copy (Brownsville GG1). I know: don't expect Gibson quality. Sure. I'm down with that. I like the tone and got what I paid for (actually a bit more). But can I still ask: some of the really high-teen frets, I think maybe 3 or 4 frets look like they're...

So here's the guitar I kept asking all the questions about. Not that I need any of youse opinions to feel good about it (just kidding). I feel sorta weird, because I've never posted pics of a guitar to "share" with people I've never met and I'm really not one bent on looks (but I like things...

I was wondering how much sense 12-string acoustics make in a mix with many instruments (an electric band for instance) vs. a regular 6-string acoustic. I mean: does it take up too much spectrum, making things muddy, or does it enrich things? I do like them by themselves, or as rhythm layer...

Interested in your impressions of it. I know there are other variations, but I am interested in the fixed-bridge set neck versions. Trying to get an impression for its tones and feel/playability, because obviously I can't go in and play it. Thanks!

More specifically their Les Paul copies? Anybody know? Thanks!

So, I was there buying some volume knobs :) They had the Epi Valve Junior head hooked up to some Marshall 4x12 and I decided to try it and also compare to the Tech 21 Trademark 10 to see if I can hear a difference and if I really want tubes. For total honesty, I wanted to plug the head into...

I've been looking at the combo, but after all the raving about the head got to thinking about what commercially available portable cab would be good? I'm thinking about something inexpensive and small, maybe a 2x10 or 2x12 with a handle (easy to move)? Any suggestions? I really don't want to...

Ok, we're already discussing a recording amp.. so I thought, why not a live amp. I've been thinking about a SMALL tube amp (true tube). What versatility would mean for me: a Direct Out with good tube tone in it. So I need a small (tiny) amp with 1 or 2 speakers, true tube tone, ability to hook...

So, I got this "shameless wonder" at a pawnshop (cheap). It's a Samick Les Paul Custom copy. I was somewhat disappointed after I opened up the controls cavity - the whole thing is made of plywood, the arch-top is laminated and the body is lam. There is actually a hollow cavity between the arched...

So, I have the little Behringer 1202FX mixer, I like it for what I do (hobby live acoustic guitar jams, karaoke, etc.) but now realized I need a compressor. I like the Behringer MINICOM COM800. Is there a fairly small/inexpensive mixer which would have a built-in compressor, which you could use...

I'm sorry to bother everyone, but at the hardware store, next to the pink fiberglass stuff they have this "Blow-In Insulation" material, which looks like shredded paper or cloth (but it's not really, it's flame-retardant and claims to insulate better than pink). They use a machine to blow it...

I haven't had the chance to check out Home Depot, but how does this sound: http://rs367.securehostserver.com/~kggarden/advanced_search_result.php?osCsid=6f71161380fe6064380125e2775057e5&keywords=rock+wool&osCsid=6f71161380fe6064380125e2775057e5 Is that about right price-wise and is this the...

I know there've been suggestions around the threads here, but could someone put up a list or a few choices of nice DIY fabrics to use for building panels? And some definite "stay-aways from". Thanks!

People use these words interchangeably and finally convinced me to make my own panels. From what I've seen in pictures of people's studios and sound rooms it looks like they put panels around the walls and don't even bother with corner traps, right? In a 10x10x10 room (I know it's the worst...

If I was to buy some of those corner shaped bass traps (foam), how would I attach them to walls (without messing up walls of a rented house). Double-sided adhesive tape?

There's a nice topic about these in the acousticguitarforum.com and I thought we could have one here too. I'm only reading good things about these (it's a small soundhole made in the side of the guitar (on top, facing the player usually). They're supposed to make the player hear his/her guitar...
