    Nice selection you have there.I use a Rivera and it covers a wide range of tones, but the gear slut in me wont be sated until I see a Splawn sitting next to it.

    What chord is this?

    If he is using an E note as a pedal tone with the G and C, then it would be a C major.At least it sounds that way to me.

    Low E problem lateley

    I've noticed when setting up my Strats that the p/u height can cause intonation probs on the lower strings.You can try lowering the p/u on the bass side and see if it helps.

    Gibson/Epiphone lies

    You seem to know a bit about guitars,vintage and otherwise.You also have a computer.(for research and the like)What the fuck possessed you to pay that kind of $$$ for an Epi when you know good and damn well it drops in value the second it becomes a used instrument?That was bad judgement on your...

    I think some of you got my post while others did not.My point was to offer what I feel like is a good bit of advice,not to be a gear snob. After years of cheap amps(and expensive ones)that were one trick ponies, I started looking at my purchases in a different light.My first thought now when I...

    I would agree that there is no "perfect amp".But, a great pallet knife with a footswitch that turns it in to a great lettering brush would be very useful if you had to do both frequently.

    Just a reminder to all of you tone seekers out there that if you can save $300.00,then you can save $1500.00.Dont let a lack of patience decide your next amp purchase.A quality amp should be in every guitarist arsenal. I think a lot of the so called shoot outs of smaller amps round here are...

    strings/tremolo issues in my strat...

    From the pic it looks like you are using a wound third string(G).If that is the case, and the guitar was not originally set up for that gauge string, then you will need to compensate at the nut, but dont forget to check the obvious. The sound you are describing could be the tremelo springs.

    Amp Help

    (QUOTE)Combo amps - I'm not sure what to think of those to be honest. I haven't been impressed with combo amps as it seems like a chunk of your money is also going towards the speaker and casing. Does anyone here play live kick-ass hard rock shows with nothing more than a mic'ed 50w combo? With...
