    Pros and Cons - Putting Seymour Duncans in a Cheap Epiphone... Yay or Nay??

    do it and see if you like it. what kind of pickups? people who tell you not to do it are brainwashed and hypnotized by brand names and expensive guitars. it won't be an expensive gibson, but it will benefit and you already have the pickups! and if you can't afford a better guitar, what good is...

    What brand of pickups do you have/prefer?

    allright, maybe i will pick on this. what about all the blues players that like/liked the ES-335 and variations and les pauls or maybe even strats with humbuckers? Without dissing SRV, he is no founder of blues and while his tone is allright, it's not the alpha and omega of tones. It's really a...

    MAN my amp is loud now.

    i never questioned that, man :) well, it's really the fact that you cranked it, isn't it? :p glad you're enjoying it.

    MAN my amp is loud now.

    not yet :rolleyes: but it can drive a cabinet very nicely. a cabinet of your choice :D perhaps one day we'll see SCXD head and SCXD combos of other configurations. personally, i think, if they ever come out, they'll be more expensive.

    spray-painting tolex amps?

    i don't gig, though :rolleyes: and i can always touch it up. when it finally wears off (the tolex) i can recover it :D

    MAN my amp is loud now.

    question is: did you try that same room/loudness with the stock speaker? sounds like maybe not? :) mine was plenty loud stock too. enough to shake walls on 5. the "drive" knob sure adds more volume on distorted voicings. i upgraded my speaker mostly for tone. this doesn't mean that a speaker...

    Difference Between Ceramic and Alnico Speakers

    great idea! i'm gonna put the stock ceramic pickups that came out of my guitars on my refrigerator! they already sound so "cold", maybe they'll protect the food if there's a blackout again. :D they're also sterile, so there'll be no cross-contamination LOL.

    Difference Between Ceramic and Alnico Speakers

    if by that you mean "artificial vanillin" vs. real natural vanilla, the difference is subtle, but important. i'm always ok with artificial vanilla flavor - it's much closer to the real thing than artificial strawberry or orange (yuk!), but i can both tell and do prefer natural vanilla. :p...

    spray-painting tolex amps?

    here's my mock prototype (done lazily in windows paint): i know the fender cloth doesn't seem to look right, but it's probably because of the photo flash. it seems to look good on these: and i might try that "hot rod" pattern first - i can always "fix" it if i don't like it. i'll also...

    Bronze strings

    1. Love thy Google wikipedia: Phosphor bronze is an alloy of copper with 3.5 to 10% of tin and a significant phosphorus content of up to 1%. (80/20 bronze defined correctly above). 2. some guitars "prefer" 80/20, while others "like" Phosphor Bronze - sounds like you just found yours :D I...

    spray-painting tolex amps?

    i'm getting a bit trigger-happy with spray paint, customizing pickguards, etc. i love my Fender Super Champ XD, but never really cared for black tolex and the whole look. I also use it with another bass amp taking the simulated "line out" into the bass amp's power section. sounds good, stacks...

    Gibson Tim Shaw PAF Pickup

    i honestly don't know if these would be worth as much as the originals, even if they are better (you gotta discount the hype), but i sure wish i had some, so i could sell them and buy me some TV Jones :p

    Difference Between Ceramic and Alnico Speakers

    that's true, as also with guitar pickups, but that's gradual and as far as i read (at least with pickups) - actually desireable as the sound mellows out. you know those vintage pickups that fetch hundreds of dollars? :cool: i don't see why the same wouldn't happen to speakers - the general...

    samller tube guitar amp

    i am can find good translator on google also, but i am spent my time learned english :D google advertising is not that expensive and much more effective than SPAMming forums, especially if people can't understand you. NO? :p

    Clip of my SCXD with the Rajin' Cajun'.

    actually, i really like the tones! it's not really my kinda tones, but they used to be! i woulda really totally dug this a while back. the best part was that it didn't sound "direct" - sounded like a miked amp (which it was). what setting was it? and was the reverb from the amp? very natural...
