Excellent! Right price, too! Thanks! I already have mine, but this should help everyone else and make SCXD an easier amp to recommend.

1. You can wait for a coupon/sale at M123 or MF and grab it at a discount with free S&H. You can also keep checking all the sites for a "blem" - that's how I got mine and there was NOTHING wrong with it, save for a coffee stain on the manual. 2. The digital modeling preamp on the SCXD seems to...

wanted to agree on one point - people in the audience can't usually hear a difference. Just like they can't usually tell if you're playing a really nice acoustic vs. an "ok" one. But that's NOT to say it doesn't matter. An instrument (and amps are extensions of our instruments), if it...

TM30 is also a 10" speaker, no? It's a single-channel "recording" amp (like TM10, but with more wattage). TM60 was the "live" amp with an excellent footswitch (and even a courtesy AC outlet!). I tell you, if TM60 was about $300 new, I probably wouldn't even ever notice the SCXD (because I am...

thanks, guys. yes, i know how to wire it with a push/pull, i've done it before. I also suspected what Light said about middle position being the same as one of the other 2. I'll have to look for that 2-way, then. The problem with miniswitches (for me) is not finding them, but the appearance...

I was gonna stay out of this (considering that SCXD had already been recommended above). At this point, If I had a $600 budget, I might be looking at Epiphone Blues Custom 30. It's $549 (i'm sure can be gotten with a coupon discount and free S&H). Switchable 15/30watt (ClassA/ClassAB), all-tube...

i suspect it can work, but the question is: what happens in the middle position? I'm thinking of putting it in the new inexpensive archtop I got, towards the cutaway, where gretsches have their master volume (i really don't want a master volume). Or I might put it next to the pup selector...

Ok, guys, it's a 2008 MIC guitar, of course it's not a nitrocellulose finish - it's a polyurethane lacquer :rolleyes: I'm pretty sure the crack is finish only - it looks that way and I can feel it with my fingernail.

yes, the crack on the headstock is definitely laquer only. no biggie. since i paid VERY little for the guitar (and it feels/plays/sounds fine) i don't mind the cosmetics, but i also wouldn't spend a lot on repairs. i meant, can i attempt the dent repair myself? i mostly just want to hide the...

muttley (and others), i don't know what others meant, but I meant laminated archtop vs. single-ply "solid top" archtop ONLY. there's no illusions on my part that on most PA's an archtop will sound different from a strat or a les paul. My question was: does it matter to audience, in live...

thanks, that helps! i don't really know if it was dropped or knocked on something. Bought this as b-stock. what about repairing it cosmetically/visually, at least the discolored part. i'd be open to just covering it with some sort of decoration (but not a sticker, maybe like a leather...

right, strings alone would be about as loud as an unplugged electric solidbody, right? that only reinforces my point (and i'm not trying to prove some point, just to figure this thing out) :D

You NEED IT! :D

Not only does the SCXD sound good, some "modder" type guys who took it apart have said that it's made "way better/sturdier than it needs to be" - referring to electronic components used. So it's meant to be reliable - it's also designed in such a way as to NOT be rebiased (Fender doesn't want...

Hi. I have a question about a guitar with a tiny crack in the laquer finish (back of headstock), but more importantly a chip/dent in the top/side where they join (pics attached). 1. is this something that needs to be "sealed" to prevent it from potentially growing later? The chip in the top was...

i, for one, don't mind being debunked - i prefer learning the truth. i usually try to state my posts less as an opinion, more as an inquiry (especially when i don't know or not sure). what i meant in the quote below was ONLY that wood matters EVEN in solid guitars - those particular woods being...

makes sense (what you're saying). i haven't seen (generally) any snobbery about electric archtops being laminated. expensive gretsches are lams, they invented the process (for archtops) or so I read. on the other hand, maybe the type of wood affects the sustain in just such a way as to make a...

If you play bass it can be easy to play some simple stuff, but like any instrument it will take some commitment to get really good at it. I've rented a student bass before - it was a lot of fun. It could be a way for you to see if you wanna stick with it. They'll typically give you a 3/4 size...

i'll have to put that on a wall or a bumper. me, I planned to like the SCXD, but I like it much more than I planned :D

to agree with you... i dunno, there's a lot of enthusiasm for 5wt "juniors" of various incarnations as well as 15watt fender blues juniors. I think maybe folk is starting to "catch on". the reason i didn't end up with one of them is because of lack of features. I can only have 1 combo amp and...
