Don't drop more than 500 bucks on your first tube amp, for the following reasons. 1. There are plenty of great low-watt tube amps to be had for under 300 bucks used that sound phenomenal. 2. Chances are you're going to want to learn how it works and tinker with it on the inside (replacing...

The ibanez sz series are very nice, although they stopped making them this year. See if you can find a used sz prestige. If not I would go with a les paul or a nice les paul copy, if you know how to spot one. Use the left over money to buy a low-watt tube amp and you'll be in business. hint hint...

Hey all. I'll get right to the point. I'm in the market for a tele but I don't want to drop like 600 bucks or more on a decent fender. I was looking at xaviere guitars and http://store.guitarfetish.com/xvsicusobo.html that one in particular. How do these sound? I don't give a crap about brands...

Hey telepaul. I was having the same problem with some of my guitars when I first started out way back when. Here's a few things you can do that will help stop corrosion and rust on your guitar. 1. Make sure you are playing your guitar with clean hands every time and keep a towel nearby if your...

Since you bought the amp used and you have no idea how old the tubes are, it is probably in your best interest to change them or you could risk failure if they are really old. An output tube failure can and will take other components of the amp out with it. Since it seems you have some extra...

Go for it! Dude hell yeah! The vintage club series is awesome. I have one (the 50 watt 3x10 model). I love it for blues/jazz/indie/rock. It doesn't really do metal too well but that's what the 5150 is for. :p I'm thinking of upgrading its speakers! The new v series amps are very nice! People...

I second that. However, if you decide you want the extension cab, I would grab the avatar with the vintage 30. You could put the vintage thirty in your peavey when the tour is over. Just my .02, good luck on the road. BRING SPARE TUBES since you probably won't be taking a backup in order to...

Hmmm. Well anybody have any experience with 10'' 16 ohm speakers they rly liked?

Yeah, but you want what you want, you know? Sound is the most important but nobody wants a guitar they aren't going to enjoy looking at as well. But what the heck do I know, all of my guitars are chipped, scratched, dinged, and some are different colors. Somehow I just can't seem to keep them...

Same here. I play lots of different styles and the tone knob is pretty much indispensable imo to jazz and lighter stuff. The duncans in my ibanez produce some wicked good tones but not for jazz, without taking some of the treble edge off. It can be piercing otherwise. Do whatever makes sense to...

Hey all, I own a crate vintage club 50 all tube amp with the 3x10 speaker config. I love the sound I'm currently getting, but I feel like an upgrade from the stock 10'' 16 ohm crate speakers might really top off my sound and give the amp more clarity. I play indie mostly, along the likes of Say...
