    Have you considered an Agile Tele copy, a couple cases of booze and a suitcase of controlled substances for the same price?

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

    Hmm... Let's see.... a DEAF MAN wants to buy a GUITAR from you... I can't decide which is more hilarious... the fact that a "hearing-in paired" nigerian is responding to ads in the musical instruments section of craigslist... or the fact that you're not sure if it's a scam or not...

    +1. You'll get much more mileage out of a speaker upgrade IMHO.

    Hosed by Repair Shop

    I was actually wondering last night--what prevents them from double-billing both me and fender for the same warranty work?

    Hosed by Repair Shop

    Well, apparently I wasn't hosed after all. I spoke to the manager this morning. Apparently the person I spoke to yesterday didn't know exactly what was going on. This is what happened: They opened the amp up and—hey presto—found that resistor R576 was completely open, and another was fractured...

    Hosed by Repair Shop

    I'm headed in there tomorrow morning and certainly will report on the results. Like I said, I only spoke to a shop assistant and will speak with the manager tomorrow. I'll let you guys know the shop name once I get the full story. I assume you're correct, Arcaxis, but I'll find out the whole...

    Hosed by Repair Shop

    To be fair, I'm not going to tell you what shop it was until I have a conversation with the shop manager tomorrow. I'd like to hear what the manager has to say before sicking the dogs on him... It wasn't Aztech, though. It is quite possible that my amp needs new tubes... I knew that they were...

    Hosed by Repair Shop

    or at least I think I was. Here's the deal: My Hot Rod DeVille was having some kind of weird static/popping noises. I consulted the trusty Hot Rod Owner's Guide and it said this: An issue that commonly pops up in Hot Rods is the Plate Load Problem. These amps sometimes develop a loud...

    for you old farts out there

    My band's manager has two vox super beatles in his basement. They need work, but they're there. He's so far unwilling to let me 'borrow' them. Think about it: crappy no-name band from boston playing one guitar through two Super Beatles in stereo? That ain't shit you see every day.

    Worked on a 100+yr. old guitar today.

    hahaha. Didn't mean to offend your species, Drew. But yes, that is the maxim: Fuck over the assholes, help the nice guys. I'm sure it was one of those five commandments that Moses dropped in a History of the World Part I.

    Worked on a 100+yr. old guitar today.

    That reminds me of a wonderful story I heard not long ago. There was a guitar guy in Boston—can't remember his name, never met him—who was the local guitar guru when it came to working on vintage gear. One day some yuppie douche walks into his shop—which was a dumpy garage in brighton—with his...

    Stomp Box That Is Also An Effects Loop? Buildable?

    I'm not sure that this is what you're talking about... but feedback loop pedals already exist. My favorite is the Effector 13 Eye of God. The Death by Audio Total Sonic Annihilation is pretty good too. There are probably a half dozen other makes. I use the Eye of God. It is very easy to deafen...

    Is Using A Looper "Legal" In A Power Trio?

    I don't know nothin about jams. All I know is I used to go to a bar on Mass Ave in Boston down by the medical center... can't remember the name... for some reason wally's is sticking in my head... they have jazz jam sessions on sundays but it's overrun by berkeley kids. there's a band called...

    Is Using A Looper "Legal" In A Power Trio?

    Yep. My band played the last residency there just before it closed. It was so bad by the final weeks that all they had was PBR which they bought from a liquor store down the street because their taps had been shut off due to non-payment. The singer in my band doesn't drink. He ordered a coke...

    Is Using A Looper "Legal" In A Power Trio?

    ahhh... the SKY BAR. I shed a quiet tear when the Abbey died... but when China Delight bulldozed Sky Bar to add a dining room I was... delighted. It's simply delicious. And sky bar was probably the shittiest club ever. y'all should go have a drink at the Tavern at the End of the World in...
