I would really like one of these guitars. I would like it to have the all maple neck instead of the rosewood, a whammy bar would be nice, and preferably in one of the burst colors (red, blue, honey, or maybe even green). May also consider natural finish, but I don't really want solid colors and...

I upgraded to a tube amp (Blues Jr.) about a year ago and I don't think I could ever go back. One thing I assumed I still needed, though, was a Metal Muff because I thought the only way to get heavy metal distortion was with a pedal. Well, I was reading something online and came across an...

I found one web site that has a nice little flash player for various loops so that you can just play the backing tracks, but they only have a couple and it's all metal--which is fine, but I'd like some variety. Some rock loops would be nice. Preferably loops that are a full band minus lead...

I have a Schecter Stiletto Custom-4 and I'm running it into an Acoustic B200H head. The problem I'm having right now is finding a good solution for slight distortion, kind of like overdrive. I have a Big Muff that works great for heavy fuzz, but that's really not what I'm looking for. The sound...

I was looking over an old thread I had started about replacing my pickups and it got me thinking about the capacitors across the knobs in my Gibson The Paul. They are ceramics, and I'm wondering if that has something to do with the brittleness. While building a Big Muff clone pedal, I had asked...

When I first started guitar and picked up an electric guitar, I thought twang was the worst thing in the world, so I went with a used Gibson "The Paul." I have since come to realize that I actually really like twang, but I also really like the sound of Gibsons. I am borrowing my friend's Squier...

Thanks to the wonderful people on these forums, I picked up a refurb Acoustic B200H head for $180. Looking to save even more money, I went on Craig's List to sit what I could scrounge up for a cab. I found a Laney bass cab for $60. It's an older one that is clearly worn and, unfortunately...

I've got a big gobo I don't need anymore. Well, I never really needed it, but I will probably be moving soon, so I will want it around even less. It's 5 feet wide, maybe 4' 10" tall, and about 2" wide. It's grey. The frame is metal. It's definitely worn in; I got it from college when they were...

I have had my Blues Jr. for about a year now. I bought it used, and play fairly regularly. I'm thinking it might be about time to replace the tubes. I went to see how much they cost as realized that everywhere that sells the EL84s lists several options for them: medium duet, hard duet, soft...

Swapped the speaker out for a different one, so I'd like to recoup some of the money by selling the stock speaker. It's in great shape and works like a champ. I can upload pictures if you really want, but it looks much like you would expect it to look. According to the Billm mods page: "The...

I'm looking for something that I can find under $300 (used is fine). I've been using a J-Station amp modeler to record, but I might start gigging soon, so it might be nice to have an actual amp. The J-Station also doesn't have very good overdrive tones. It doesn't seem to tough to find an amp...

For sale is my Johnson J-Station amp modeler. Includes the power adapter and J-Edit software disc, though it doesn't seem to really work on anything later than Windows 98. For more information about that, there's a good site here with downloads and all kinds of sounds people have worked out so...

I love my Blues Jr. amp, but the high end seems to be kind of brittle. I assumed it was my "The Paul," thinking that it had to do with the wood the guitar is made of. I borrowed my friend's Squier Strat (which, to my surprise, actually sounds decently Strat-y without much buzzing) and the amp...

I saw The Secret Machines last night and the drummer had his kit set up like this: If you can't see the image, basically just imagine having your whole kit set up without a kick drum, then sticking the kick off to the side. I believe he was using the left foot part of a double pedal to make...

http://www.instructables.com/id/how-to-turn-your-guitar-from-mono-to-stereo/ It seems so obvious that someone must've done it before, but it's a pretty neat idea. I suppose this is more of a DIY post, but I thought it might benefit more people if I posted it here. Why is this a good idea? Well...

Maybe this is a stupid question, but how do you go about getting in a band? For a long time, I never thought I was good enough to be in a band because it wasn't as easy for me to write songs as it is for other players or some other dumb excuse. I know I'm not the best guitar player, but I'm...

I used to use my MacBook Pro for recording because, at the time, it made more sense. It was portable, reasonably powerful, and quiet. Now, however, my desktop PC is way more powerful, but it is definitely not as quiet. Well, it's not as portable, either, but really, how often do I record...

I could use a good firewire card with a TI chipset, either PCI or PCI-e.

I've been recording on my Macbook Pro for a while now because it gave me less problems than trying to record on Windows, but it just occurred to me that I like Windows 7 much better than my Mac and I really don't need my Mac for anything anymore, especially since my PC is a lot more powerful...
