Light, my Gibson's tenon the cheeks do not touch on both sides, as stated before which bugs me. I've owned the guitar for 15 years and I don't think the neck is going to fall off it just bugs me. Question, with CNC machining being very accurate is it still necessary to rocker the tenon? I...

I believe the Fender Champ is the gold standard of tube practice amps. Even Mercury Magnetics has a transformer upgrade kit for this amp.

Punkin, I'm not a expert on this however I read a description of why the TS sounds good to human ear. The TS has a mosfet chip or something like that. And, this particular chip somehow SLIGHTLY rounds the waveform from the expected square wave, there was a graffic of the waveform, and this...

The tenon on my Gibson's neck is too small for the groove it is to fit. So, in addition to the rear gap, which is common, I have a gap on the "toward the floor" edge! Thank god they used enough glue to hold the neck in place. Hamer has a process of of cnc'ing both the the tenon and groove but...

This was long before Peavey got the bright idea to slap 6 (maybe 7?) 12ax7's in the pre amp for gain. "...our amps go to eleven."

There was a pedal that had a 12ax7, it was a contemporary of the Ibanez. It was tan and they put out a "blues" version that was appropriately blue in color. I used to get the Ibanez and the real tube confused. just looked it up. Tube Works Tube Driver.

The only thing that offends me is a weak, nead to see a therapist for nurturing, sissy appology. Be a man and own your humourous thread! :D

who do you think you are? The Reverend Horton Heat?! :)

I built a BYOC fuzzface. Sounds great after I got a second set of germanuim transistors. It was cools as hell building it. I gots the bug to build stuff too.

I recently purchaced a Tradition S2000 and it is one great guitar, built in Korea. No it is not a hand built Hamer or a Historic Les Paul. However it has a solid slab of maple and some nice (not amazing) flame on it. It's neck and body are mahogany. The Honeyburst finish is downright...

many SG's separate/have major issues at the neck joint. Most are not even hurled at people! If the repair does not come out the way you want it too write it off to karma and if you didn't hit the jerk hard enough practice your aim.

I had this idea since I have no serious wood working tools. I would design the cabinet a 4x12. I could craigslist for a person to cut the wood with fingerjoints from my design and pre drill and countersink screw holes. I would assemble as I would only need clamps, more clamps, and some...

+1 for the Metallica suggestion. Lots of guitar athletics involved. If you tame the sound you may be able to pass it off as pseudo classical. Fade to Black is my suggestion.

Gibson wants to have the whole pie. This is greed, pure greed. Screw'm, they treat my local mom and pop guitar store like cockroaches. Their QC is crap if you look deeper than the finish. And, companies like Hamer put out an amazing guitar at a comparable price. Morally bankrupt and no...

Death Metal eh? what you need is a Rat distortion pedal. maybe two.

I really need to plug those heads into some 4x12 cabs, the 10s are mid heavy and though sound good they don't have the range/depth of 12s.

"When the 35+ year old white guys you are talking about kill music, it's not just blues they murder; but classic rock, southern rock, and any kind of current cover." AMEN, we turn the best, most heart felt music into MUZAK! we should be punished.

Funny this question should be asked. I was in the mega book store a week or so ago and I was thinking that I hadn't progressed in my melody department and it was high time to do something about it. So I picked up a six dollar blues book it was rather thin but I looked through it and there was...

Sunn Concert Lead 200w. I play 2 (stereo) of them live with the in slant 6x10L cabs. It takes an ear to tell the difference. Mostly when I play high on the neck on the unwound strings. Not as much sparkle and gets harsh. Great built in distortion, killer spring verb, boost, non master...

I googled Malta, it looks tiny. Sorry.
