    (i got da) craigslist blues [warning: rant content]

    I actually laughed out loud at that. If they aren't willing to look me in the eye in a public place, no sale. Only once did I have someone come to my house. It was for furniture they would have had to pick up. One guy emailed me and seemed honest in the email, but his email address was...

    Played a blackstar HT5 ministack today. You must try one

    Wow, just wow! This amp blew my freaking socks off today! I have been an advocate for high wattage tube amps because up until today, every real low wattage tube amp I tried couldn't stand a chance against the high wattage ones. Wattage is always more then volume, there has alway been a feel...

    Blackstar HT5 Combo

    I really like the over drive tones. Are those all with the Maxon OD or were some with just the amps distortion?

    Fender Road Worn Series: Well-worn or Worn-out?

    It's good to see I'm not crazy. I never got that. But here's the thing. Somebody has to be buying these things. Thy would have been pulled off the shelves long ago if they weren't selling.

    Most Overrated/Overpriced Electric Guitars

    To easy, Gibson. And in there case you get less then you paid for, because once you buy it, you need to go back and pay for all the basic QA stuff. Now they can be excellent, but I have never seen a brand new guitar in more need of a fret level and dress and a setup then a brand new Gibson...

    Test to determine which coils are active?

    Thanks! That test was perfect. I was wrong, it is using both coils. As I slid the phone between the coils of the double coil, I could hear the sound get softer then get louder as it went to the other coil!

    Test to determine which coils are active?

    On one of my guitars, I have a double coil in the bridge position and a single coil in the neck position. I have a 3 position pickup selector switch. first position is obviously the bridge pickup and third position is the neck pickup. I always thought that the middle position was all the...

    Effect loops on amps- are they wasting money on extra sockets?

    I use it all the time for delay and reverb. I use the amps preamp distortion, so any of these types of effects would sound all out of wack distorted. But if you are only using things like wah and compressor and OD, then I could see where you wouldn't need it. But delays and reverbs are best...

    Tuning issues when using the tremolo slightly

    It has a locking nut. It's a double locking system. I guess I will go ahead and take it to a tech. But in the end I am thinking it just needs to be cleaned and lubed. But I'm to scared to take it off the guitar. I was just a bit surprised because I had been playing some Van Halen and was not...

    Tuning issues when using the tremolo slightly

    I'm going to bring up something that nobody has ever encountered before. I have a guitar that goes out of tune when I use the tremolo. OK, seriously. I have an old 1980's ESP. In fact, it has the original ESP manufactured Sinclair Tremolo. Now, When I whale on this thing, I have no...

    Combo vs. Half Stack?

    I think the big difference is most combos have open back cabs as oposed to stacks which normall have closed backs. This makes a big tonal difference. I realize there are exceptions to both. For me, I had a Roadking 2x12 combo. The thing weighed like 100 pounds. I built a headcab for it and...

    New amp rig..

    Record all the time with my Road King. It can be set to 50, 100 and 135 watts. I set it up on 100 and 135 to record with. I get a tighter sound that way. My setup is simple. An SM 57 up against the grill. And I also record at ridiculously low volumes at times. I found the onlly setting on the...

    My ongoing ebay saga with my Les Paul purchase

    Every peice of gear with the exception of the white ESP you see in the picture and the Mesa 2x12 is used. I don't disagree with your premise though. You definately have to be carefull, which can be difficult buying gear online. But I have done very well with used gear. Picked up a Mesa Road...

    My ongoing ebay saga with my Les Paul purchase

    UNFREAKINGBEILIEVABLE! Guess what was sitting on the front patio as I got home from work today. I had to double check to make sure I was pulling into the right house. So for over three weeks nothing, then finally, I get mad and open a claim and the same freaking day the guitar shows up. The...

    My ongoing ebay saga with my Les Paul purchase

    His feedback was 100% positive. He had only had about 11 or 12 sales, but the feedback was all positive. I'm still holding out hope. I am certain I will get my money back if it doesn't work out though!
