Today I am buying a Marshall 1960A cab to compliment my KranK Rev1 head. Also, buying an epiphine 58 V re-issue. Both used, fucking great deals on both, Marshall is $200 and like new minus the dust, V is $300 in played condition but no major issues, has Ibanez pups, and is $300 w/HSC. I am arriving at practice an hour early to get it all set up. ;D

tossom, the cabinet is all stock w/G12T-75 speaks, has 8 ohm and 16 ohm inputs, and is stereo or mono. it is a mid 80's build, fucking so sweet i almost slept with it. some older dude had it with a bunch of other gear, he was tired of lugging it around. fucking $200, BAMMMMM. Not worried about greenbacks at this point, it absolutely roars and handles the nuances of the ultra quick picking that it will be spitting out. 8)

There's a few different ways. That resource that Lumpy posted is really good. I know by the writing on the back of the chassis. This one was during the Magnavox period. It will say something about Magnavox on the back. I can't quote it. Also below that it will say SVT-V9 meaning it is the same chassis as a V9. If it's a late 70's and not a Classic it will have two channels with 4 inputs in the front, white rocker switches, a plastic Ampeg logo, black control panel writing with a break in the middle and rounded corners on the border. The power switches are rocker switches as opposed to the metal ones like a blue line or the first set of black lines.
This kinda made up for the Skunk Works SVT I missed out on. Missed it by a day. I was pissed. Haha.

Mutron phaser II and Mosrite Fuzzrite-$150 for both. Neither worked...the mutron is now working and sounding like Gods very own phaser. The fuzzrite needs a few parts (pots and switch, but the board is all there!).
First edition small stone phaser-$10, "noisy"...still in the mail. I plan to fix it.
TS808 reissue-wrapped and under the tree till xmas morning
Optigan discs-Blues sweet and low, Rock and Rythym, and Easy does it with Vibes.

A black (ebony?) 1997 Epiphone SG Jr.
Laugh if you must but those cheap little fuckers are tone monsters, those P-90 pickups are so hot they cut through everything. I had to change the machine heads because the stock ones are useless, but other than that I love those damn things.
I also have a cherry red one.

just picked up this yesterday to add to my 70's japanese arsenal. Not sure of the year, but it's a Cortez brand, gibson J-200 copy. Sweet player and sounds great. $130 on the local CL. It's well used, but just what I needed.

Hartke 4x10 Transporter, a GK 1x15BPX, Ashdown MAG 300, and a Digitech Bass Squeeze compressor pedal for $300. Like i said in another post, I really didn't want all of this stuff except the 4x10 cab. But the deal was good and the gear is like new!
That being said the head is quite impressive though it is the exact same head as Behringer B4500H with 150 watts less and the knobs are configured slightly different. I know Behringer is hated in these parts but I had that particular head and it was built well and sounded great.
I also slapped a black pickguard and some chrome knobs on my Midnight Wine P bass that i got on trade for an Epi Tbird.

Sovtek MIG-50.
Friend of mine had it sitting for 3 years broken. I finally offered $200 and a .380 pistol, he took it. $40 bucks and visit to the amp doctor later it is in my basement rattling my walls.

Scored an 87 VTM60 for 275. Might be a little high for that one, but it's gorgeous and sounds awesome. Plus, it's not every day I can find such a thing and actually have the scratch to just go pick it up. That's probably the last bit o' gear I'll get before I turn 40...

Since my last post on this thread, I picked up a Sunn Coliseum 300 in great shape (AND IT CRUSHES BTW), a 67? Sunn 2x15 (one original Guitar Transducer and one Jensen Special design) and a EH Bass Big Muff. I am hoping to get another 2x15 cab this week. It may turn out to be a Peavey 2x15 for now until i find a matching Sunn 2x15 but it will do for my purposes. Both cabs need reloaded so a speaker purchase is in my future as well

Still searching for a Sunn cab but this will do. I can see a new bass on the horizon. I have a lead on a G&L Tribute with a natural swamp ash finish..but things change.

I've been playing one-footed for almost a year, had a Trick Bigfoot for a day before I had to return it ($#%^&!#$%!!!!), and I've been too shit-ass broke to buy another pedal, but I finally did it, and I was only able to do it because of this:

Not bad for a used, upgraded version of a DW 5002. (It has the 9000 series aluminum cams, and a diamond plate steel base, but is otherwise identical to the 5002)

All pretty solid. I need to make a 2nd board (I'm thinkin' PT Mini) so I can have these in the rotation more.
My Pt JR is filled up with all my current standards (OC-2, QTron, RAT II, Prunes&Custard, Fromel EQ, Chorus, VT Bass)
I have to figure out a way to make 2 boards work. Since 2 of the pedals I want to add are filters and they go towards the front of the chain. But I'd also like the PT Mini to be able to stand alone for a quick grab and go board.
Looks like some more coily cables are going to be in order.

My old Boss tuner doesn't work anymore and is beyond repair. The Bassballs works pretty well in combination with my Supercollider, really cool for some accents, I can go from playing the same riff pretty spacey to straight stoner/doom by switching it off.

Just picked up a TC Flashback delay- cool features, though I doubt I'll ever do the toneprint download bullshit. Enough different types of sounds in it already

^I said the same thing when I got mine but some of the toneprints are pretty cool. They have toneprints that sound crazy and some that off slight improvements on the stock tone (especially with more realistic tape echoes).

A Peavey Mace 2x12 combo and a Peavey Butcher Head, the Butcher is being sold on to a friend once it arrives..
Just need a fancy delay and some PA gear and I'm done for a while (famous last words).

You shut your mouth when you're talkin to me! My mother's a saint. Ha! You're going to love the EGC man. Kevin is top notch to deal with, too. The pic I uploaded is actually from a while back. I ended up sending her back to get fitted for humbuckers. The p90/aluminum combo was a bit too bright for me, and not enough output. He had it back to me in less than a week. She sounds huge and mean and all Hell, now.

The guy I got it from told me it's real close to an old Bassman circuit. 6L6's and 50 Watts. I might re-house it someday. Only 4 of the pots are connected, so I'd just remove them from the faceplate. Gain, Master, Bass & Treble. It feels like a stove after about 30 mins of playing, so there's a gargage-style door on the back that flips up.

Baritone guitar, I gave up playing the bass when my buddy decided he was better at it than guitar. Then again, I dunno why I didn't force him to play it. I'm a classically trained guitarist ffs, I have no business being banished to bassland by a shittier guitarist. I still play bass, but only to write riffs.
But yeah, that would actually work really well I think. That way I could tailor my sound with the amp and a few effects.

Once I get out in the sticks like I plan to in the next few years I will be able to shun MV tube amps and have someone build me my dream rig (mainly because I'm absolutely rubbish at most electrical engineering).
I dunno, the only thing I think I would really like on that would be something to open up the low end, with its own controls. Because I would still like to be able to control the amount its opened, and how much of it drowns out the rest and all that BS. :P

Bax stack can give you massive low end, then you can add more with Resonance, Treble and Bass are decoupled in that kind of tone control, nothing like a marshall

Then that's good. As long as I've got the power. Heh.
I suppose my actual desire in a rig is a series of preamps, run through a common effects system, reverb, vibrato, the like, which is in a mixing board that can mix all these preamps together, cut them out, all the things a mixing console can do, into a few different tube power amps, chief among them two absolutely clean, stereo capable, KT88 and KT120 power amps. To have that would make me have a trouser accident.

the 120s a very iffy right now, just not enough field testing to make sure they can be used over a long time.
88s more reliable even though they dont put out as much power, Its more important to have a really sweet OT for the best possible bass response. Get that and your golden.
Having dedicated power amps is no problem, that can be achieved. A preamp with buffered tube outputs for FX is also doable, routing could be included for switching your FX or that could be outboard

yea 200W is prolly a 1500 to 1700 dollars Dunwich build, just a power amp and maybe 1300 to 1500
120s have issues, just ask Verrellen he builds a lot of them, I heard through the grapevine they are problematic, could be wrong tho. They have very small grid leakrs (<50k and this is a problem)

Yeah, this whole thing is easily probably a $10000 rig (that's including speakers). :P
I could mosey up to Fremont and talk to him about it. Then again, I would be hard pressed to leave without an amp in tow. ;D

Of course. I'll probably quit buying amps after I get a silver knob Model T. Probably end up buying one of your amps, and several more due to those famous last words. ;D
My betas, lead with a 4x12, bass with a 2x10/1x15 stack, the Hovercraft with a 2x12, the Model T with, oh I dunno, something I haven't decided yet, all Emperor'd, and some other stuff because I'm ten and I like making noise. Then I'll die happy. :P

If speakers weren't so fucking expensive, I'd build my own cabs, loaded, and sell them for 700 bones out the door, all day.
Realistically, 400 bucks worth of speakers, 120 bucks worth of plywood, then duratex or GG, or stain, corners, blah blah I could do it and end up at 100 bones worth of profit. Which doesn't seem worth it, unless I'm doing ten at a time.
Just base prices, I can do all kinds of silly exotic work, too.

Use his 100W Superlead instead, a Model T is a slight tweak clone on a SuperBass but with 6550s and hifi trannies.

IMO its closer to the Model T than a 6s100, the tube compliment there is very different. You can always sub the boards, they do that for me free of charge

You can condense those Model T inputs down to 3 really tho, Brite In, Normal In, Both. If you need to daisy chain heads theres a better way
You can omit knobs, make ur own faceplate thats what i do

And I would make my own faceplate. I wish it were as easy to make this stuff as it were in my head.

Just picked this up for cheap. It plays amazing. The wood is pretty nice but the electronics are jacked.
The bridge pickup was replaced with a Gibson 300T but whoever wired it in somehow shorted something out and the output is like 1/10th my other guitars. There are two wires that are just twisted together and wrapped with tape in there.
Once I figure out the wiring problems it should be pretty sweet.

Picked up a Diamond pedals marquis treble/clean boost. Took my verellen to the shop and tried 2 diamond pedals and 2 xotic boosters (RC/AC). the xotic preamps were too spongy but the marquis was the best of the bunch. Finally have a boost to replace my tubescreamer, and now I have more usable gain without sounding thin or flubby. There's two modes: a Germanium treble boost (the go-to mode) and a germanium/jfet clean boost.
Have to thank Hemi and Baltar for pointing me in this direction ;)

Great deal on the ride. I had a 24" Rude crash/ride that was so loud I had to duct tape the bottom to dampen it. Sadly it was stolen.

SunnO))) - That's what I'm currently using as a crash. Beautiful sounding cymbal. I will say I wish it opened up easier for crashing purposes, but it does sound killer. If you do plan to use it as a ride, be forewarned the wash gets louder than the stick hitting it by the fourth or fifth stroke or earlier. That's hitting with just the tip of the stick on the bow of the cymbal. (Edit: If you're playing hard, that is.)
blackkrosses - I had the 22 inch version of that cymbal. I believe they switched it from "Crash/Ride" to "Ride/Crash" for the bigger sizes (at least that's what it said on mine). Sadly I broke that fucker a few years back. I'm gonna look for the 24" version now that there's proof they exist. :D

Yeah, that sounds right. It was my only cymbal for a long time. To ride on it though you had to play very softly. The thing wanted to be LOUD. I had mentioned the cymbal before to folks and their reaction always was: "a 24 inch crash-ride? are you SURE?!".

I do wish Paiste would expand the Rude line. I wanna see some 24 or 26 inch rides, crashes, and chinas (both traditional and "novo"chinas). Some 15 and 16 inch hats would be pretty fucking ace as well.

A band I was in auditioned a drummer once and he had somehow either robbed a store's stockroom or found a place going out of business or something... his kit was all 20" Paiste Rude rides.
5 of the same exact kind and size of cymbal, one used as a ride and the rest set up as crashes.

Quote from: fallen on November 18, 2011, 04:45:41 PMSo all of his cymbals sounded exactly the same? haha. I would've liked to put two of them together as hi-hats. Actually, I have a 20" Zildjian K Custom Dry Ride that I'm going to pair up with an A Custom Projection Ride for a retarded mega-hat. I may need to buy a spring to mount between the two cymbals to facilitate faster open/close action. Sounds silly, I know, but I've heard similar hats before and I'm stoked to see how this plays out.

I always used 15" rock hats because they slushed better than smaller ones. I bet a couple of 20" crash rides set up as hats would sound awesome. Just set it up where your ride would normally be on one of those static aux hat stands with no pedal.

I saw a band do a Ramones set once and the drummer had two 18" crash/rides for hats. Didn't sound bad and was entertaining to look at if anything else. I have used a 14" china for a bottom hat. Trashy. I JUST played some vintage 16" Zildjian hats on a friend's kit and really enjoyed the sound. I'm currently trying to trade my 14" quick beat hats for some 15's.
and, yes, paiste SHOULD expand their line of rude cymbals. The bigger the better.

jake, i'm at work so i can't see the pictures, but just wait until your father Hemi gets home young man.
actually, i remember back in the day folks saying to keep the treble knob low and using the presence knob as your highs. i like dual recs and single recs. all the triple recs in the world need to be put on a cargo plane with nickelback and blown up.

I like it, but I don't think I'd buy one. I can definitely still do pinch harmonics and shit, though. It's really fun playing Immortal songs, and old Death tunes, again.
If I were to buy a high gain amp, it'd probably be a VHT/Fryette.

apparently floyds don't stay in tune when you bend more than one string.
not really a problem unless your playin country. otherwise the slight detuning sounds kinda cool...like hendrix on voodoo chile.
That's where it's bending me outta tune, haha. These country bends in metal leads sound so awesome though.

Dude in Laudnaum play a Recto and they're better than my band and most of the other bands on here. I certainly can't get good tone out of them and neither do most others but that doesn't mean that a few can't do it.

Even the triple rectos can sound good if you get one of the early ones (and like I said, EQ them properly).
David Knudson played a Dual when he was in Botch.
wow, I had no idea. I could never get into that later hardcore stuff because of how macho is sounds and the modern high-gain guitar tone. but Botch seemed to be the exception because the guitar didn't seem to sound like killer bees and they could riff.
I fiddled with a triple rec for a couple of hours and got ONE sound I could use and it didn't make up for the price tag. musta been turning the knobs wrong I guess.

I've played plenty of amps like that. 50 knobs and only one usable tone. Or one good tube channel then another shitty solid state channel added on for more selling features.
By the way I finally cleaned up all the wiring in that Explorer I posted a couple of pages ago and found a short on the lead going to the input jack. Now that it's all wired properly the Gibson 500T pickup in it sounds amazing. Now thinking about removing the cover and all the wax off the stock Epiphone neck pickup for the fun of it.

Mesa RectumFryers (© Chovie, Inc. All Rights Reserved) get a bad rap but they're really versatile and with enough fiddlin' can sound pretty much any way you see (hear) fit. I used to scoff at 'em until I spent time with a few...

Somebody should make a tiny pedal that does that Floyd Rose flutter effect when you tap it so you can run a fixed bridge and still get that sound on leads.

I've been hitting every day, neighbs are cool so far (they're spread out...). Everybody in all the bands I'm in are busy with other bands (hmm maybe I should take a hint? LOL) so I'm keepin' busy with hard-hittin'...by the new year/springtime I'm gonna be band-ready, local fuckos get at yer boy, boy !

I've got fucking loads of them, if you can organise shipping, can sell ya a fixer. Probably be cheaper to buy a fixer in the States, if you can find one. I'm in no rush to sell mine.
Edit: If its the iron and 6 EL34 power section part you are after, I'll sell a somewhat bodged PA for cheap, I only got it to rob the knobs and valves from it for fixing other ones, turns out most of the power valves were too tired to be worth dicking with anyway.

Scored a great deal on a triad of Gibson Classic 57 pickups for my '77 Custom yesterday.
Since they are newer pickups, I gave them a gentle relic to better match the other gold hardware.

Yes, I think so. The way they are typcially wired, the bridge and middle are both active with the toggle switch in the middle position. I think I'm going to wire it differently than that, but haven't yet decided. There appear to be tons of pretty cool ways to wire these up.

Epi LP Jr. with upgraded tuners (Grovers), Gibson P-94 p/u, Gibson pots, gold-plated jack & gold tophat knobs: $150.
Her name's Bertha Bolt-on. She's a real screamer.

Kinda like a strap-on but more robust?
Picked up a Jackson JS32T Rhoads today on craigslist.
It's going to be a complete makeover guitar for my site.
Plus I've never owned a shredder - I don't shred.

Just done recapping and generally sorting out a dead SC200. Just fired it up see how it worked out, The only thing is the switch was wired slightly wrong so the lamp tells you it is in standby lights when its off, easy fix, but aside from that, good to go after a proper biasing:

Kind of a repost but here is the SG I picked up finally fixed up and running a bit better. The back was covered in stickers so those had to all get peeled and most of the back of the guitar needed goo gone to clean up the residue. The stock pickups were some meh sounding Gibsons that apparently came with this guitar but the neck pickup was rewired and got mounted backwards. It also was wired with 3 knobs like an Explorer and had no pick guard and volcano knobs. At some point the old tuning machines were replaced with Grovers.
The Gibson is a '91 SG Special. I redid the wiring to remove one of the 2 volume knobs and added speed knobs instead of the volcanos. It's now wired like a Tele. I replaced the pickups with GFS Mean 90s which barely fit the routes in the SG. The GFS pickup rings don't fit the hole pattern on the Gibson so I had to swap them out. The removed volume pot left a hole and also the previous owner managed to put a huge dent in the front of the body below the pickups so I added the pick guard to cover that damage and match the truss rod cover. I didn't want to put any more holes in this guitar so the pick guard screws are just screw heads snipped off some screws and glued into the pick guard which is attached to the guitar with double sided tape. The Mean 90s sound really good. Both neck and bridge sound great with fuzz.
The second guitar is an old Esquire Strat copy that I've had for years but never played much because of the pickups. It's a cheap guitar but I've always kept it around because the neck feels great and it always stays in tune even with the cheap tuning machines and whammy bar. The paint has gone from a white to a really nice aged cream colour. I just put in a new black pick guard with a chrome PAF copy and a 500k pot. Super simple and it sounds great.
I just put single coils back in my other Strat too. Swapping pickups around is pretty fun. Spend a little time with a soldering iron and it's like having a bunch of new guitars around. Next project is to put a new neck pickup in the Explorer and rewire the volume pots because I can't get used to having the bridge pickup volume in the center pot.

I got a silver-greenish metalflake Polaris snare drum from my pops' big band. It's an ancient thing, Japanese, looks to be from the 60's judging by its old-ass appearance/patina...never heard of the name and can't find a suitable pic online but here's a pic I found of the badge:

I just picked up a couple new additions to my guitar arsenal, which I haven't done much with in the last couple years. A used Fender Princeton Reverb Reissue, mint condition with an upgraded Weber 10F150 50W speaker. Also a used Fender MIM Strat, burst and maple (my favorite color combo). The previous owner made it into a hardtail, which I was planning on doing, and it even came with an extra set of my favorite brand and gauge strings. I'm planning on picking up a Dimarzio prewired pickguard for that, in black, either the Area or maybe the Paul Gilbert Injector set. The guitar and amp sound great together with my Vintage Rat pedal for some grit.

i bought crap that doesnt really give me anything new to play with.
i had to buy a new tuner (got a pitcblack)
and an isolated power supply (got a fuel tank jr)
so 200 dollars later and all i have is clean power and an in tune guitar.
i did fix a ggg big muff i built awhile ago. it randomly quit working and i was lazy and didnt want to troubleshoot it. turns out the switch died. now I have a sweet sounding bluebeard muff to play with tonight.

Get the proper smarty top knobs on there too. Chickenheads are lame, unless they are coloured, then they are lame and gay.

Current State of the guts, she works when I fired her up but not a single thing like the real Sound City, it was liker buzzy tone, it has a master (where presence is) so it sounds rough. I could smell the tubes on it, probably a little hot biased

I have no idea why people think point to point is a good idea. Give me turrets any day.
Here's roughly what it should look like for comparison, minus the random bias cap replacement, and exploded cap chunks everywhere:

Sorta make the cap can setup a little different than usual. If I want a better designed setup I have to have a 32/32/32/32 @ 500V cap can to support all those stages

It's a small pedal from a small german company called Sunmachine Effects, sounds like a mild fuzz or like an overdrive with more bite, the output volume is huge though I can't turn up the knob more than what you see in the picture.

I just bought a Orange 40th anniversary 4x12 cab, it should be here next week. Hello full-stack! ;D
It has Celestion G12H speakers, I hope it's a good match to my regular Orange 4x12 which has vintage 30's. The downside is that the cab is rated at 120w, the same as my Orange amp, so I don't want to run it without the other cab in fear of blowing speakers.

does a portable generator count as a new gear acquisition if it is intended to power outlaw pirate generator jams?
if so, i scored a stanley 2500w portable generator like the roofing and sheeting guys use. i saw one fall off a roof once and the dude started it right back up. i was sold. i also plan on using it for more utilitarian duties too, so i passed on the cutesy overengineered case(including extra cost for said engineering) camping generator deals.
got it shipped right from sears for w/e $400 and change..

New string day. I've been using D'Addario 14-68's for over 10 years with my B and A tunings. For standard I use Pyramid strings. I recently tried a bunch of other string brands for my standard guitars and they were thin and anemic sounding so I figured I'd contact Pyramid about baritone strings. The don't make baritone sets but they put together 18 custom sets for me in exchange for a small fortune. Hopefully I'll get to use them this weekend.

They were a shit-ton. Depending on some options they're 15-20 per pack. The fact that they're made in Germany doesn't help but on any given guitar I only change the strings once or twice a year. The big strings just don't seem to go dead as fast as 9's or 10's.

As I reported a few posts back, I was picking up a Laney AOR30 with a Marshall JCM900 1960a cab today on a trade. After an hour and half drive, I finally arrived at this crazy backwoods "Deliverance"-esque town with a fucking killer music store in it! New and used gear- a lot of Blackstar, Laney and Engl amps, and more
Cool guitars than not. Anyway, I tried out the AOR 30 and it was really beat. Knobs were crackily, inputs had dead spots and it was very hard to get it to break up.
Right beside it buried under some junk was a AOR 100 Pro Tube Lead. I plugged into that baby and was blown away! Killer amp in perfect shape! So I came home with an AOR100 and a 1960 cab instead. Good trade IMO for a Peavey Classic 50.
It was a good day.

Guitars N Stuff- Its a bit north of Johnstown PA, not to be confused with Pianos N Stuff, another kick ass store, in Blawnox PA. (guitarsnstuffonline.com) Very cool little store. The owner is super friendly and knowledgeable of his store contents which seems to to be 2 traits that are very rare these days. Prices are pretty reasonable too

My Pops lives in Ebensburgh, I went up to see him and was googling guitar stores within 50-60 miles, that joint popped up, and we rode down. I walked in, played a couple Engl's, was shootin' the shit with the dude tellin' him what I was after, and he was like "Oh, you like Sunn amps? I've got this broken beta lead 4x10, I'll give it to ya for 50 bucks!" So, I nabbed it, brought it home to John McNeece, he fixed it, and it's sitting about 10 feet behind me as my bedroom amp. I dug that place, I dunno how he stays in business...

I drove through Ebenburgh on my way to(and from) Guitars N Stuff btw. He also had a nice Vintage SG-style 6 string that was a weird white color that almost seemed that it may glow in the dark. I guess its possible. Played very nice however.

I've got this broken beta lead 4x10, I'll give it to ya for 50 bucks!" So, I nabbed it, brought it home to John McNeece, he fixed it, and it's sitting about 10 feet behind me as my bedroom amp. I dug that place, I dunno how he stays in business...

That's a good deal on that Solarus. About half of what my local shop wants for theirs, and they initially listed it as a Polarus ::)

does a portable generator count as a new gear acquisition if it is intended to power outlaw pirate generator jams?
if so, i scored a stanley 2500w portable generator like the roofing and sheeting guys use. i saw one fall off a roof once and the dude started it right back up. i was sold. i also plan on using it for more utilitarian duties too, so i passed on the cutesy overengineered case(including extra cost for said engineering) camping generator deals.
got it shipped right from sears for w/e $400 and change..
for these outdoor jams to quiet it down, get a someone or yourself you fab up something that fits decently tight over the muffler outlet turns 90 degrees and extends through a pipe, this way you can face it towards the ground and place it in a bigger bucket of water, pretty much kills all sound from it, Alot of guys i know that do blues festivals do this to avoid noisy generators.

Also to keep in spirit with the thread.
I got a new upstairs amp, I only got the dark terror until my TH30 comes in though, Either way it is working for me.

Consider boating applications. Some boats have wet exhaust only. others like hot rod boats have wet exhaust when they want quiet and valves to direct the exhaust up and out for that hotrod sound.

I'm not so concerned about the termination of the exhaust gases into water, rather that copper pipe setup looks like it could choke the flow from the exhaust.
The gases are gonna rise, but then that pipe shoves them back down into the bucket. Makes me think if the pressure drops down too far, you loose the ability to release the exhaust straining the gen's output. I honestly have no idea what I'm talking about, but there seems to be a fair amount of pipe, coupled with multiple bends, being force down into the water. Seems like it could be more effective with the gases rising upward into an elevated water source ???

I work in the RV industry and there are extension exhaust kits for generators that bring the termination above the roof line. Sometimes those have a couple bends in them so i wouldn't sorry about it as long as the diameter of the pipe stays the same

Bet not. I'm not sure how long I was running with an EL34 that had lost vacuum never hearing a difference. Another time I went to move it and heard something rattling around inside. Turned out one of the screen grid resistors just melted off, never heard a difference. I use a couple different cabs with it. An 8 Ohm and a 16 ohm. Have had them reversed a few times. never knew the difference. This amp is totally stable and doesn't give a fuck.

You will eat tube up for breakfast if you dont have screen resistors in your amp. Them melting off is generally a very bad sign of runaway redplatting or loss of bias.

1k 5W minimum in any amp, I have used up to 2k 5Ws in amps 2.
In general screens are the most fragile thing on an output tube, and often this is where shit fails, either you arc the screens or they just fuck up

Well funny that's not what happened. it continued to run just fine. Tube failure was a couple years later. i said melted off as an assumption. Could have been a cold solder joint and with the vibrations of the amp (I only run it dimed).
This amp is waaay stable.

sure it can run fine, your sample size is small but overall since the advent of modern tubes running without screen resistors causes problems like blowing ht fuses often, and can lead to OT death.

Yeah i got a HD130. Sweet amp really. Fucking loud, enjoys all sorts of pedals. Cheap as chips when compared to other valve amps. Perhaps its the solid state preamp that keeps them affordable? Either way classic amp for me.

Hoping it works. Fairly straight up guitar preamp, except with Burman style circuitry, will do gutshots later when its having its cleanup.

Jumping the channels works, I have a Music Man Sixty-Five, but figuring out the EQ settings gets a bit counter intuitive.
One tone section will tend to cancel the other one out. Like if you want to scoop your mids set one pre-amp basically flat and then crank the mid control on the other pre-amp to 10.
Extreme tone settings will just cancel those frequencies out when you use both channels. If you crank them both they just fight each other.
Works really great with an A/B box for loud/soft or also cool for coming out of a delay and having reverb and/or vibrato on the echos while the dry stays dry. (On the combo or tall head version).

Probably gonna sell my 1960 A lead series cab and my Marshall JCM2000 TSL head. I think the LAney AOR 100 is winning the coin toss!

"That Eminar thingy"
I've tried so hard over the years on these forums and the old one not to say much about the old Eminars.
But im a bit drunk talkative, anyway if you dont already know Eminar (amongst others)is a classic Aussie valve amp company from the 70's. They have an amazing reputation and have featured on some of the best Aussie recordings from the 70s through to now.
This particular one is a 100w PA. 5 channels all with a slightly different voice. PURE burley clean valve tone that loves any pedal. My meathead, green muff, ggg tuned fuzz and rams head, byoc rat all sound amazing through it! It has no problem sitting in with model T's, soundcity amps, laneys etc..
I also got two channels modded to a superlead style tone, with the Eminar flavour.
For my sludge drone rig I run my Soundcity with my orange cab and ggg tuned fuzz or byoc rat and my Eminar stack with my meathead or green muff. The other guitarist uses a couple of model t's to very useful effect. As a band we collect Eminars and just fucking love them. I got the first one about 8 years ago and now we got about six between us.
In my other band I use the Soundcity and the Musicman together and this is also really sweet.

Oh, well yes, I have my preferences, keep in mind that the LF II is brand new so I'm still getting used to it, but I can say a few things and the differences are quite evident.
MJM London Fuzz: the red one has germanium transistors, it's more warm than the LF II and the amount of gain is a little less than the silicon version although the feeling of "how gainy it is" can change depending on your guitar (single coils=less gain / humbuckers=more gain). The sputter or "sputtery" texture is more pronounced if you turn the fuzz knob all the way up and play with your guitar's neck pickup, it's awesome and I love it.
MJM London Fuzz II: the blue one with silicon transistors, it's not as warm as the germanium version but it has more gain and the sputter is more pronounced and a little bit more "violent" if you try using it in the same way as the red one (fuzz knob to the max, neck pickup).
In case you're wondering, I've never used a Fuzz Face replica/clone before these two pedals, neither an original vintage Fuzz Face, so I can't tell you if they sound just like a classic FF, but I can tell you this... I like them.

I love my Ge London Fuzz. Like Stonergrunge said it isn't as over the top an massive like some silicon fuzz faces, not that it's fizzy or anything. It also cleans up very well with the volume knob so you can use it as an od and turn up the volume knob for leads or whatever.

Gotta Foxx Tone Machine clone yesterday.
Should be getting a Torns Peaker in the mail today.
I hadn't bought a dirt pedal in a WHILE. I try to limit my board to my RAT & only one other dirt pedal (Prunes & Custard usually). It's been years since I've had a new fuzz and now I bought 2 in a week. Guess I'll see how I feel about these ones over the weekend.
PEDULLZ!!!

I know Paul as well. I went out to Texas with him and his band and was absolutely impressed with his amps. I would suggest anyone in the tube amp market to check him out.

That it does. When I was playing it you can tell it cuts through everything while keeping its low end balls. I thought one of the coolest things is how easy and responsive the feedback/overtones are to control

I think my overdrive search is over for now. My God, I love the warm Tubey feeling it sounds like. Does good with humbuckers but loves those P90's in my SG. My only gripe is that it could have a little more volume on tap.
Can't wait to try it with my Marshall.

3-way amp splitter. Each out has an isolated transformer and phase shaping, so you can correct phase cancellations between a multi-amp setup and get the loudest and direct signal out of each. Plus you can get a pretty good boost on each output as well if you need it.

I have never owned a Rat before, and after a scant ten minutes, I can say this: if I could travel back in time and give myself one piece of advice, it would be to buy better headphones earlier in life. But if I could give myself two pieces of advice, it would to buy a fucking Rat.

Here's a couple of things I'm planning on picking up Saturday (after I win the MegaMillions Lotto Friday night)
1965 Pelham Blue SG
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v123/brucewayne131/Pelham%20Blue/pb4.jpg)
1968 Red Marshall Plexi. Preferable a 50watt smallbox, and with a straight cab. But this one would do in a pinch.

They still make a DOD 250, so... reissue? You mean like a boutique version? I wouldn't know.
The stock ones are good overdrives, they're only two knobs - Vol & Drive (so there's not tons of tweakability and tone shaping) but they are cheap and easy to find used. Good for driving a tube amp on a low budget.

Got to try one and they're not bad, hissy though. Works great with Marshall's and El84's. I just got a 1980/1981 clone because it was only 10 dollars more and it was worth every penny.

Been looking for the guitar for at least a semi-reasonable price since then.

I didn't see it mentioned but now that you ask I went to check it out. Yes, it came with both.
As for the bass version I only really liked one of em so I'm glad I'll have both with the guitar.
Apparently Dan's son Kent made the pickups for the reissues and will make custom ones, I may be looking into that down the road.

Haha, yeah, I was waiting for you to chime in with some Black Flag lovin'. Apparently the dude painted the guard green, I'm cool with it, think it looks better that way. The guitar should be on it's way but I'd say the bass version I have is like normal Fender Bass weight 9-11 lbs. Keep in mind it's shortscale so that helps even it out.

What is fucking gutting is the 200w PA at the bottom. Saw it, only thing of value in a pile of shite, asked the guy if it had valves and trannies in it, no valves, but there are trannies. When I got to it, some utter cunt has converted it to solid state, the transformers are little ones. Why the fuck would anyone do that? Never saw it coming, kinda ruined the trip.

Exactly. I'm going with the DW truehoops. Fairly heavy, pretty, and it's what they use on their high-end drums.

Not sure if the wood hoops would like the tension that those marching snares need, anyway.
edit for being nitpicky about forces, the tension is on the head, your hoops are under compression. These guys know how to party!

Yeah, I'm not using kevlar heads or anything, and tension wise I'm generally between medium and the high side of medium. I ordered a Powerstroke 77, which is a heavy 2 ply mylar head. This is a drum set snare now. :)

Its maple and Fender bass thickness, so is brutally heavy, might be too much.

I just got a Way Huge Pork Loin:
(http://www.rockpalace.com/gfx_productcode/114966/Way-Huge-Pork-Loin.jpg)
It is absolutely perfect for boosting an already overdriven amp. By mixing clean signal with the overdriven signal you can get a nice balance between an open and a compressed boost. The curve control can dial in how tight the overdrive is, for if you want either full on bass or a tighter boost for palm mutes. It is rather dark sounding though, so set the tone knob high. Because of its darkness and the clean blend, it can also be a convincing bass overdrive. Just don't use it as a standalone drive pedal on a clean amp, because it doesn't work well in this function. But for taking a low-mid gain overdrive sound to a thick full sounding high gain sound it's one of the best I've ever tried. The purple metal housing looks great too.

Definitely would like a report of how it sounds. the trim pot setup is interesting; curious what's up with the I & II on the red drive? Also, I take it the center trim pot must be for setting the midrange ???

Didn't get a lot of chance to play with it due to the A/C problems, but the I is for single coils while II is for humbuckers and P90's. You are right on about the center pot. The red drive is hotter than the brown drive. It's going to take a while to dial it in. There are an additional 2 pots and a buffered/bypass switch on the inside.

yeah, got that, i just haven't had time to get intensive with it yet. i'll try and post pics and maybe sound clips. as far as the weight i really don't notice much of a difference between it and my strat.

Wait wait, the Sixty-five? I do have an update on it! So, I hooked it up to my high handling 2x15, and dimed it out, every knob effects the oscillation. Bass knob changes freq, deep switch makes it oscillate funny, everything does something. Nothing stops it, though. It's definitely a bad cap, but there's roughly 31 not including the filter caps. I have no scope, or else I could find the cocksucker, and replace it no problem. I may just have to break down and get one.
Gabe, they're no biggie. I've never heard one fully up to snuff, and this one... well, it was. It's a fucking beast. Fat, round, warm, and loud as fuck, even outta a 2x12.

It will work, never tried it myself, but all an O'scope is, is a TV without the scanning circuitry, a CRT is a CRT.
I couldn't tell you what kind of voltage range it will have, you'd have to experiment on that yourself, the guy figures about 1V range unattenuated, so you'd just make up a voltage divider probe for say 10x or 100x or 50x. Ohms Law ;)
Also it won't hold still (I'd imagine), as it doesn't have a trigger circuit, so the display will always be scrolling. Like I say, good for indicative purposes only.

Also, with the trace freerunning (straight line along the middle) move the trace up and down using the position knob and check for any position where the line is not straight sort of has a kink of some kind, this indicates a bad CRT.
Lines that aren't parallel to the grid can be adjusted with horizontal adjust control, like wise if it curves, the azimuth can be adjusted, it glitches, burns and blips your looking out for.

She doesn't pay much attention to small packages. It's the guitar sized boxes that drive her nuts.
First impressions, what a hunk of shit. After messing with it for a while, have found some usable settings. Still kind of ball-less and not much sustain at all. Will not unseat the Tone Machine as the King of Fuzzes on my pedalboard...

Zvex Wooly Mammoth is cool, a little too squelchy for me (gated) and I like more vintage sounds, but cool bass distortion for sure. Zvex is coming out with a Tremelo/Machine combination pedal this year that looks pretty cool (the Sonar) but I hate the idea of paying 250-300 dollars for a pedal, especially one I'm not absolutely certain I need.

Assuming this schematic is correct, the first thing that jumps out at you is the big 10uF in and out, and then the small 100nF in the middle. Also not sure why that 220K is on the output jack?

-or-
disconnect 220K resistor on output, see how it sounds
clip a 470nF or 1uF capacitor across the 100nF (caps in parallel add together, so you don't need to desolder, just twist it or clip it in place) see how it sounds.
etc.

so the boost isn't a separate active element? in the old oranges the boost was an active mid, post volume or gain, on the cathode of the tube stage prior to the baxandall stack. fmv seems a copout.

the boost was pot which adjusted how much an LC combination bypassed the driver stage before the cathodyne. Check orange amp field guide
In this design they did a few changes
They changed to FMV, and then added a DC follower off stage 2 which is not unbypassed. Boost is Mids
Added a PPIMV
Dropped the Drive control, good call its dumb IMO
converted presence to a vox hi cut control, because feedback based presence controls dont work well with PPIMVs
Also some changes in the preamp filtering and design
So its not a 100% original design, its more like a modified GT120 designed to get a lot of gain without adding any additional stages to the amp, just exploiting the fact that a FMV with a follower has much much less loss than a Baxandall stack does. However, it is not a Matamp clone by any means at all. Its actually a really well designed amp for the tone its going for.

you mean the cathode bypass pre stack, not the driver stage surely?
on rhe second stage, prior to the baxandall, you have your cathode resistor and bypass cap, and then another cap in series with a pot. It's an easy way to mess with the cathode bypass caps value.
when you say not unbypassed, you mean it is bypassed?
why not just post the schemo?

I should add, I'm thinking of the 'real' Orange, schemo, for the Leads. They took the slave chassis, which was basically everything from phase inverter on, and added a preamp on a piece of angle iron on the front panel. It had 3 stages, used two 12AX7's. Don't see it on the Orange FG.
Boost was cathode bypass on second stage, then the tone stack, and echo send/return and another stage before it sent the signal through the chassis connector to the phase inverter.

heres the early 70s schematic
(http://www.orangefieldguide.com/OFG_SCHEM/OR120schem_72.gif)
Boost is on the driver stage right before the cathodyne
There are a few "real" orange schematics, they changed the design a few times.
On the GT120s, (http://music-electronics-forum.com/attachments/15442d1316994589-matamp1973gt-120deciphered.jpg)
The presence control is now the Boost control as seen on the 70s Oranges
Now for the OR200 Lead they did have the pre-tone stack Boost control

As far as the e.a. master volume schems go to this link here http://music-electronics-forum.com/t26551-2/#post233707
As you see, the 2nd stage has a 100 nF bypass cap but the stage is mostly unbypassed with that very thin bypass cap adding some sparkly highs. Most likely to compensate for the use of a vox hi cut control

It is quite the transition from what im used to (sunn beta lead with a boss hm2 or peavey 5150) yet there are so many good tones in this head. i play it with the fuzz all the way up when jammin by myself and its huge. i have never kept the bass this low on any of my amps, there is just so much low end. When i need a clean sound i just set the master to 10 and the fuzz to 0 and it sounds glorious, then hit it with a hm2 to get back into dirt heaven (would sound 10x better if the hm2 had a mids knob ;)) it is eventually going to force me to learn the art of using my guitars volume knob. but yes its a full-size head. No im not a tar-heels fan. it was modeled after my first ride

Very nice. It sucks that the waits are nearly a year. I remember complaining when it was 3 months. The amps are definitely keepers...I can't imagine ever selling mine but that car is the real gem here. I hope you still have that. That's a ride you can be damn proud of when showing up to the players ball. My first car was '69 Cadillac that was a horrible shade of brown up I later upgraded to a '77 Cadillac in robin's egg blue and that was a beauty.

Yeah Nick, that hand drawn one looks like what's in my head, FAC before first stage, boost on second, then tone stack. Yeah the Graphics were all over the place in terms of design, in a sense I guess every amp was an individual, I think only the Lead / Slave had the extra tube stage, most of them it was one tube pre, one tube phase split. Some of the regular oranges also had the FAC before the tubes though.

yea they did love making nearly identical looking amps with identical looking controls but different schemes. I should simulate and see where that LC boost is centered at

The EA reminds me of the Weber design, but with the extra tube buffer stage, and of course theFAC somewhere else. Which oddly labelled controls makes me wonder what the three knobber does. ???

now let me blow up your world again
On the non-master-volume units from e.a. they are actually closer to the GT120 in design
they have baxandalls, the useless Drive control. They retain the bypassing of the first 2 stages on the master volume unit but drop the cathode follower The Boost is now like the Mids pot on the Weber except only connected to the Bass control. it essentially floats the tone stack a smidge above ground, adding in 6-9 dBs of flat gain. They also removed any kind of presence control

my car looked just like that except it had a sunroof and a gold plaque on the inside that read " custom made for Wilbur W. Burkins"
sadly my Thunderbird blew up out of nowhere. i mean blew up as in exploded. i was at my friends apartment when we heard a loud boom and people started going door to door telling everyone to get out the building as quick as possible. When we ran downstairs from the top floor i saw what all the commotion was about. There sat my baby with a fire dancing 5 feet high on the hood.It took the fire department to put it out. To this day i have no idea what the cause of the explosion was. It was a crack head complex though, they tried to charge my friend for the stain as well as "refilling the fire extinguishers". what memories. now i drive a friggin white person car. but i got a slab of an amp finally.

i am not really sure to be honest Hemi.
a further thought, they are well built with good components all around. but the only 1 thing that irks me, why not go for sealed mil-spec pots. I know they are $$$ but its a nice touch on such a well built amp.

TBX150 just ordered. Never played through one but I have a good feeling about it. Will use my Amptweaker TightMetal with it if it's preamp distortion isn't so great. If none of that works out I'll just put a Mesa on my credit card or haul all of my gear out into the street and set fire to it.

May have but it was very inexpensive and I seriously suspect that at the very least I'll find it a better amp to use with distortion pedals than my GH. NOT selling the GH but the Randall has got to go as it's a corroded rust bucket.

If it has an effects loop just plug the TightMetal into the return and use it as a preamp. That's how it's intended to be used anyway. If you hate it there's bound to be some 15 year old metalhead in your neck of the woods that would love it.

It does. Tried that already with my Randall and Laney. I wish the tightmetal had regular eq knobs in addition to what it has now. It sounds a lot like an amp preamp. As it is I prefer to just run it through the preamp but have the gain all the way down then I can use the amp's eq knobs at least. Or I could get an eq pedal.

Yeah, you could always get an EQ pedal to run with it. You should give Mr. Brown at Amptweaker some feedback on the EQ thing. Seems like he's built his business around listening to feedback from customers. I know that's why they came out with the TightDrive Bass and the clean blend option on that to boot. There's probably quite a few people that would like a 3 band EQ on that pedal.

Yes I should do that, after I've had it awhile longer. So far I like it a lot. A 3 band would make it even better. Perhaps he'll do a larger or rack version of it in the future.

September I think. Not a bad amp but it doesn't have enough gain on it's own and the one I bought is corroded, rusty, and shitty sounding and I don't try it. I'm going to try to sell it back to the shop I bought it from.

Sorry, I was out workin'. I kind of gave up all of my bargaining power by telling you what I paid, haha. I'd feel like a dick telling you what it's worth and what I want (though at a drastically reduced price because we're pals.)
Multiple locations confirm 800 bucks for ones in similar condition. Gbase/ebay/guitar center. I posted it up on another forum with a buncha old timers for 750obo/negotiable. If you really want a guitar of similar fashion, but dont want the Price tag, Im sure I can dig one up...
Or do you want this one?

One question, tho: Does it look to you like there was ever a screw in the top G/B/E tuner set? From the photo, I can't make out a hole.
Edit: looks like one side may have been replaced; the two sides are different.

And a video maybe.
They didnt drill the extra hole. Just screwed in what matched up. Yknow?

Found out today that the Ibanez TBX150 head I thought I ordered wasn't actually on hand and the amp is back ordered with Ibanez for 2-3 weeks. I cancelled the order. There are 1 or 2 used ones floating around on the net but I might wait until I get my Randall sold and try the TightMetal at practice through my Laney before trying to order another one. Part of the reason I tried to order one of these is just to have a second cheap amp for comparison and for $225 I couldn't really go wrong.

Damn good price although I know nothing about that model. I'll read up on it. Thanks. That's about $20 in gas and maybe 80 minutes from me.
edit: read some reviews, several people reported problems with it probably related to cold solder joints and what not. I think I'll pass.

Today is killing me. If FedEx's tracking estimate is correct, tomorrow is shaping up to be a two-fer new guitar day. It doesn't help that I chopped off part of my picking hand thumb the other day...oh well, I'm stocked up on super glue.
Fedex is almost always right from my experience. What I hate is getting home and finding one of those signature required slips.

Round neck, mostly bottleneck with some fretting worked in. It works nice lap-stylee, too. Better than fretting on a squareneck, anyway...

TV yellow is what they devised for a light colored guitar that would show up okay on TV. Back in the day, with the early video technology, white guitars could bounce light into the cameras and cause a hot spot/flare on camera. If you've ever seen early black & white TV and there's a white-out onscreen, that's what they were trying to avoid. TV yellow guitars look "vintage" to me, without trying.
(They'd also spray shiny things with a dulling spray, for TV)

I'm on here in spurts and don't read most of the threads. About $30 total with shipping on ebay which was about the best price I could find after searching the net for 5 minutes. Part of me wants to form an EW cover band although I don't really have time and part of me wants to just do a solo tune as low as possible Come/Dopethrone influenced project which is more likely but the main band comes first and this unit will not work for that. Too much info I know. At the very least it's a cheap pedal to fuck around with.

is that a stripped-down Rust Ride up there in the blue, with some fender blender knobs?
i had one of those and it was wonderful, but i traded it away for a reverb. probably shouldn't have, as i'm realizing i'm a shit guitarist and should probably concentrate on keeping all my eggs in my bass basket for a while...

I'm only using mine for bass and loving every bit of it. Took a while to dial in the right settings but it can sound pretty beastly if you ask me, I use it full volume on the bridge pickup for extra mids/highs while the volume is almost turned off on the neck pickup for a nice boost. The versatility of my T-40 helps.

Yeah, it's really good for bass, sometimes it's the right thing for the guitar sound I'm after- apparently i have no control over that though. guess my ears and or my gear are just subject to change on a daily basis- hence the need for several amps guitars pedals...........

Actually, maybe getting a pre assembled board from Ceriatone would cure your time issue, then it's more like a re-assembly than a complete build?

is that a stripped-down Rust Ride up there in the blue, with some fender blender knobs?
i had one of those and it was wonderful, but i traded it away for a reverb. probably shouldn't have, as i'm realizing i'm a shit guitarist and should probably concentrate on keeping all my eggs in my bass basket for a while...
No bro, it's a hopped-up Marshall Supafuzz/MKII clone. I added a batt kill switch, then an LED for the kill switch then a bias knob and broke off Q2 at the socket. So it's not working right now.

The Boss PS-2 or 3 I think.
Rebox might be tricky, as i think most of the knobs are rotary switches, not pots, but I haven't had it open so I could be totally wrong. If you do rebox it, you could add a permanent expression pedal too, still haven't played with that bit yet.

Just picked up a Keeley Fuzz Head. No pics sorry. Haven't even plugged it in yet. Just moved into my first house and chompn' at the bit to dime the amps and let rip. Pristak from the old board had a Keeley compressor (which for the record I can't bear BUT do have a time and a place) and this was the best compressor I've ever heard, rack or whatever, it was impressive. So, I thought I'd give ole Keeley a fuzz chance.

He wanted thirty bucks. I told him I couldnt pay him that, and gave him everything in my wallet which was $70.
he said he hadnt tried it out in a long time and sure enough, the rotating part dont make the rotating sound.
So now I have two tel ray oil can effects that need repair. :(
I couldnt pass it up tho, the old guy was so cool and it was worth the shot that it worked.
no regrets, maybe Ill have it repaired along with the ad n ecko

Wow. Love that guitar. It's the Squier J Mascis JM, right?
I will aquire one of those someday. If you haven't seen them, check out the pickup options Curtis Novak has for offset Fenders. I'd love to hear his P-180 (x2 stacked P-90s, with a tap) or the WideRange.

50th Anniversary of a 1960 ES-335. I fucking love it. I've been (stupidly) gigging with it but can't imagine NOT playing the damn thing.

Got the Behringer Super Fuzz and I'm sure most of you know all about this thing already but to me it sounds like old Electric Wizard in a pedal only a shitty version instead of the awesome version on the albums. This is kind of what I remember hearing years back about the original Boss unit. Running it into an eq helps somewhat and I'm guessing that the right overdrive would help even more. Oh well.
Mehringer ;D
I imagine other companies have made similar pedals that sound better but I'm not in the market right now to spend actual money on something for that tone. Maybe down the road.

Sigh, don't you understand the processes called MASTERING and POST-PROCESSING?
Frankly, the SF300 sounds dead on to the Boss, and Boss, with the proper EQ on the amp sounds damn close to the album. So does the Guyatone fuzz. So does the Foxx tone machine, somewhat. So does the superfuzz.
Just because YOU can't do it, doesn't mean it's the pedal's fault. 3:45 in the video, it's actually a very awesome sounding pedal.

I watched an a/b video with the boss and the Behr before ordering and couldn't tell the difference. I know it can be made to sound good, I've owned Come My Fanatics and Dopethrone for a long time. Yes mastering, post-processing, etc. Perhaps my amp isn't the best match though. Totally not the pedal's fault. Maybe you missed my ;D I was a bit harsh on the unit in that last post and that was dumb but I have heard before that it's hard to dial in and I agree, at least with my set up. I'll probably fuck with it some more this weekend. I got it because it was cheap and I was curious. I had no intention of using it with my band but if I can dial it in better and have time in the future it might be fun to use for some derivative sludgy doom type stuff. I'm actually kind of surprised there aren't lots of EW clones using it but maybe there are and I just haven't heard them.

I can't defend a pedal I've never heard, but I can attest to just how true this is.
An example: I came on here gushing about a Swollen Pickle fuzz that I picked up last year. Biggest, baddest fuzz I've heard in a looooong time, despite the general internet apathy surrounding them. Now I've come to realize that a huge part of the what was making everything sound so gravy was the JCM800 that was behind it. The Pickle just sounds sorta okay-ish with other amps, no matter how I try to recreate what the Marshall was doing.

The youtube comparisons I've heard were identical but if I was really into these things I would spend the extra cash for the Boss for sure because it's metal. I felt like I almost broke the Behringer simply taking the top off and putting it back on to put a battery in it.

Interesting. I'll try the Behr with my newly acquired Ampeg SS.
Side note, the Laney GH(my only tube amp) is sometimes said to be very similar sounding to the JCM800 but with more gain.

I've found simpler, unbuffered, fuzzes, boosts and OD's, work well with tubes. I prefer them to the SF300 on simple tube amps, though it's OK with overcomplicated tube amps, Nick, do you need a new thesis topic? ;D

Not sure I'll ever own a "simple" tube amp(less/no gain knobs, PTP?) as they seem to go for a lot of money. Okay perhaps in the future I will get the Boss if I just REALLY need that EW tone and can't get it no way no how after further tweaking the Behr.

More they get used with the tubes, it's easier to mess with EQ in gratuitous ways ie. boost it, using op-amps. In the below schematic, the op-amps are the big triangles, the tubes are the circles with the dotted lines.
(http://elektrotanya.com/PREVIEWS/63463243/23432455/marshall/marshall_jcm900_dual_reverb_preamp_sch.pdf_1.png)
The signal has to go through a few op-amps before it hit's a tube, I find they don't always react well to a simple fuzz, but an SF300, FZ2 or Muff, sounds fine, as they have a buffer on the output, and sound similar on any type of amp input.
For comparison, here is the SuperLead JCM800

If he is using a Sound City 120 mk4 then no other amps are going to do that thing, because they have a unique and far from other amps preamp, its 3 band active eq, so a valve gain stage for each frequency band. Plus it sounds like he has an ECC83 in the PI slot instead of the ECC81 it should have. Not unlikely to have been tinkered with inside in other ways too.

New pedal day...Toneczar Vault fuzz. I've never heard low-end thump like this in a fuzz even in the octave up mode but especially in the middle mode. Tons of gain and really versatile tone shaping from swampy thick to crisp bite. The wait and price kinda suck because I like to buy two of the pedals I really like. My other pedals sound tiny and anemic by comparison but I'm still in honeymoon mode.

i´m looking for a new guitar since my kasuga lp is busted.i would have to order it online though because there are no guitar stores in my area.
my budget is around 1000 dollars. i would get a gibson sg special 60´s tribute but i don´t want to be a victim of the infamous gibson quality control.i could get a 1980 yamaha sg 300 with a case for 790 euros (almost 1000 dollars) but i don´t know if i should jump on it ???
i´m basically looking for a double cut solidbody mahogany guitar, preferably with p90´s , good sustain and tuning stability.
any advice on trustworthy brands/models (available in europe ;) ) would be appreciated.

Dude, what the fuck? Those tuners better not be fucked up, hope that's just camera angle. if not, the only requirement to work in Gibson's QC department is blindness and the ability to drink tequila at work.

Nah, I missed out on that one. Thing is, I've always wanted a LP with mini humbuckers (to fulfill my Thin Lizzy fantasies). My plan was to get a P90 LP and replace them, but Gibson just released a 70's tribute model with the mini buckers. Had to be fate...
It has the maple fretboard, which questionable business practices aside I fucking love.

Riffer can chime in on the origin of the name but the pedal is currently a doom room only special but you can always ask Riffer.
its a hybrid of the Pharaoh and LSTR models. Take the LSTR gain structure but use Pharaoh tonestack and clipping options (here it is LED/None/Si) + Hi/lo input and any other tweaks Mark may have done

Not at all. Nothing to hide, no secrets here. I am just pretty bad at self promotion. Not my strong smoot.
No lie, still waiting to see that interview... ;)
Bart just posted the interview. Careful reading it, you may bang your head on the desk when you fall asleep. Its the verbal equivalent of watching paint dry.
Its not bad, no need to self-denigrate

Thanks, same to u

Picked this up the other day. It's rare to see Garnets of the bigger wattage variety on Ebay at all, let alone have them show up in my own home town. This is essentially a BTO without all the peripheral effects - The tremolo and Stinger circuit, which were never all that great anyway. The amp is awesome - 120 watts of beefy sparkle. I'd been out of the GAS camp for a few years, but this purchase has rekindled some interest.
I put a 3 prong on it and ran the 4 ohm tap to the extra speaker jack (considering that most cabinets these days have parallel jacks, this made sense to me). The choke transformer dates back to 1970 for reference as to the year. I imagine that it's around there somewhere. It makes now 5 Garnets in the Husky quiver.

Just picked up an Ampeg 410HLF, so I have a more easily portable alternative to my 810 when I want to jam. Also got a Boss LS-2, to use as a clean blend so I can get more low end with my Vintage Rat. Tried it out last night and it did the trick perfectly.

I did this blending for the recording of our next album. Pretty cool stuff. I did it with a boss tu2 split out to my 120 watt and a 50 watt with a less efficient cab. Pure bliss.

It really is such a simple fix for expanding what sort of bass tones I have at my disposal. I have a pile of fuzz, od and distortion pedals. Some work great for bass, some sound great on their own but disappear in a mix, some make great tones but lose all the low end. I've never bothered with bass specific dirt pedals, since they mostly sound like crap, but I had spent almost all of last year looking at some of the newer boutique stuff out there that people rave about. Almost all of them come down to just being a well known pedal I already own with a clean blend built in. So I figured I'd save myself some money and just buy a cheap blend. I thought about going the Xotic X-Blender route, but they run about $180 and the LS-2 was $60 shipped used. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but I don't need them anyway.

LS-2 is like a swiss army knife. Even if it isn't the ultimate tool for a job, it lets you test out a concept before shelling out big bucks for designer pedals. It does like 87 different things.
How do you like the 4x10 HLF? Do you play a 5 string or downtune? How does it handle the low notes compared to your 8x10?

I just picked up the 410HLF yesterday, haven't tried it out yet. I'm definitely using it this weekend though. I don't downtune much, usually play in Eb or D, but I wanted something with some oomph to it that was more portable than the 810e. I'm keeping my SVT CL with the 810e and just using my Traynor YBA-1 with the 410HLF, which is plenty loud with a good cab.

Got a chance to try out the Ampeg 410HLF last night, with my Traynor YBA-1 and Precision. Good volume, lots of low end punch. I'm glad I held out for an HLF model, the ports really make it pump a lot of low end. I'm not a fan of tweeters, so I turned it off. Doesn't sound bad at moderate level with a clean tone, but it turns any kind of distortion (even just cranking the volume on the amp) into a swarm of angry bees.

Thanks, it's super clean, I traded my old peavey mace for it. It breaks up a bit earlier than it should, so I suspect it needs a few caps replaced but nothing too bad. It's got this gritty bassman tone that cleans up with volume knob well.

The 410hlf is a good cab. ports def help.
I moved onto a 2X15 since but if I get into a situation that would call for more speakers I'd totally pull out the 410 & stack both heads on top of it.

That little mosfet overdrive sounds great. Nice balance between note clarity and that heavy, swampy tone with lower tunings.
I also like the new format. I prefer when people play and talk throughout. It's more like a dialogue that way and adds insight. Keep it up!
Quick question: is your youtube channel meant to be a stand alone deal that just happens to be useful around here or if it was designed specifically for forum use? Either way, it's proving to be a good resource.

I know when I'm looking to buy pedals and shit, some dickwad playing wanky blues riffs isn't going to sell me a pedal. I know there are other doom/sludge/post-rock etc dudes out there wanting to hear what shit sounds like downtuned and played the way they're going to... So, I kinda do that. I tried to cover all of the classics that I own, FZ-2, HM-2 etc, and I typically buy shit... more recently, people have been sending me shit (dean) to do demos of. There's a buncha shit on that channel, and a buncha useless shit. I may dump most of the garbage, and just do it the proper way. Either way, It's pretty fun to do.
The blackstone and the T are made for one another, I'm so amazed. Of course, It's definitely a set and forget deal, since you can't knobchange on the fly, since they require a penny or a finger nail. It's two channels, and it sounds fucking AWESOME. The cleaner side has enough volume boost, and gives it just enough gain to have a little crunch. The red side has two different gain voicings, one is darker... Of course, since It's what I do, Volumes are both maxed, gain on the red is maxed, and the brown side is about 11oclock for "cleans."

The red side has two different gain voicings, one is darker... Of course, since It's what I do, Volumes are both maxed, gain on the red is maxed, and the brown side is about 11oclock for "cleans."

I always wanted our singer to get a Orange or Sound City PA head and a full stack of cabs so he could have his own stack on stage....I figured that would have been pretty cool but singers don't think they should spend more than $100 on a mic towards gear..

He wants 1100, but since I'm the boss, I can get it for a grand, that way the shipping gets eaten up. It's like BRAND FUCKING NEW. No shit, he was in some math rock bands, and the first time it has EVER been cranked, you witnessed it when I dimed it out.
It goes to... ELEVEN. No scratches no dents, nothin'... I have someone on the hook for it currently, but I have a feeling he may back out because he's finncky. I'd keep it if I had a grand... Unfortunately, I don't. If you want it, you can send me a beta lead as a consolation prize, and to save you some room... :D

i too needed a longer strap. so i bought a black and a brown leather strap like the one pic above. then went to the store and bought a decent quality but inexpensive no-name thin belt. then cut them to fit the length i wanted and nut and bolted them together. nice low strung leather straps.

It's kind of like the bottom 1/4 of a 12 string bass, with the upper octave string tuned up a fifth. So it's tuned a-d-D, with two piccolo bass strings (essentially 34" scale guitar strings) and one bass string. Kevin at Krappy Guitars made it for me from scratch based off a sketch for $175 shipped. I knew he likes to make weird stuff and I figured the idea would fit onto his "Punk Bass" format, which is usually a 2 string bass. I was working for months designing and building a prototype for a 6 string version of the concept, modding a Squier Precision I bought cheap and making a custom tune-o-matic bridge from aluminum. I just got burnt out, because my jigs and my tools weren't quite up to the task and I kept getting one screw hole out of whack and that sort of thing. I figured this was a good way to just sort of test out the concept in the real world. A proof of concept build just to see if it even sounds good in the first place.

The fifth up octave string isn't really there. I may try swapping the placement of the two octave strings and/or using a different gauge string on the higher note. I did try tuning them all to D, 12 string style and it sounded great. So even if the fifth up idea doesn't really pan out it's still a neat toy to play with.

Left to right it's (supposed to be): a (octave) - d (octave) - D (bass)
Last night I ended up tuning then all the same (d-d-D), like the bottom 1/4 of a typical 12 string. It holds intonation that way fine, but the -a- octave string is a little floppy like that, since it's lighter gauge. I have the right gauge string to restring it identical to the -d- octave string if I want. First though I'm going to try swapping positions:
d (octave) - a (octave) - D (bass)
My experience with octave course basses is that whatever string is on top (to the left, facing) is always going to ring out the most. Which is why I play my 8 string with down picking only, as opposed to alternate picking. The octave courses fade in and out otherwise. So having the -a- octave on top might have might it stick out to prominently, when what I want is for the fundamental notes to be prominent and the fifth up to just color it a little bit, to get a kind of power chord sound.
I didn't really think of that when I was discussing the design of this bass. It was really fast and dirty, just a few emails and a scanned sketch. The way it's strung now it goes from lightest to heaviest gauge, because the bridge is a single piece on a slant. So it intonates that way, like a classical guitar. Hopefully it will still be close enough to work if I swap them. My more advanced 6 string design has a tune-o-matic bridge for that reason. I might try making a prototype of that as a 3 string, retrofitting it on this, then making a new nut and adjusting the spacing. I'll try just swapping the string positions first and see how that works. I have all the material to make a bridge, but I don't particularly feel like doing it right now.
Even if I dump a little bit into it with parts and/or labor, it's still dirt cheap for a custom made neck-thru body at $175 shipped and made in like 3 weeks.

Goddamn. That Scarlett is one firebreathing motherfuck. I'd love to hear one all up close and personal like.
Agreed. If it has that clarity and saturation in person, it's a real winner in my book.
That it does. When I was playing it you can tell it cuts through everything while keeping its low end balls. I thought one of the coolest things is how easy and responsive the feedback/overtones are to control
Finally getting around to posting a pic of my Screamer 70. Paul at Scarlett Amplification matched it up perfect with the Orange cab. This thing is a beast!

Yard sale find. $50.

I haven't played it yet, because a buddy of mine did the recon on the deal. Was at the yard sale, saw it, sent me these pics, said it was $50 and I said pick it up. Even if didn't work I figure it was worth $50.
Turns out the tubes and speakers are original, and it works and he tells me it sounds incredible.

I bought this guitar from him, and I've also bought a Tokai Silver Star in the past. That dude is seriously in to this stuff and he doesn't overcharge either. He has a white Orville Custom up for grabs as well.

Yeah he's got some sweet auctions up for grabs. I'd say he always have atleast 10 guitars or so up for auction at all times, and the most I've seen is about 30 or so. There's lots of Burny's Grecos and Tokai's there, Orville is somewhat rarer however he has three of them up now :)

G&L F100 Series II in need of some love (like damn near everything else I own.) I respect the original owner for really making it his own - the b-bender/d-tuna, Carvin C22T pickups, Fender roller nut, Sperzel locking tuners. It's not like he needed to put 'Country Picker' in cut-out letters under some sort of masking tape - it was already obvious. But by God, he did anyway.
However, the bridge replacement included tearing up a good bit of wood, and using some sort of motherfucking putty-filler in the cavity for reasons I cannot fathom. I've cleaned that out, and I've cleaned up all of the white tape he applied as a pseudo-binding allllll over the body and neck and headstock.
I have the original G&L bridge and parts, but super-obviously, this is never going to be a restoration project. Not sure how to approach the chewed-up wood and various screw holes thereabouts. It may add character, or it may drive me insane. Never a dull moment.

Just came in yesterday. Wren & Cuff Pickle Pie B bass fuzz. Loving it so far, it's pretty apparent right off the bat that it was tailored for bass and not just a "hey, you could also use this for bass" pedal. The gain and tone knobs are really versatile and have a pretty wide usable sweep and I like the voicing of the pedal in general. Clean blend on the side, but it's got a ton of low end and it's not as mid scooped as a typical muff, so I haven't found it necessary to use the blend with the full bore fuzz sound. Dialing the clean blend way up, the gain way down and dialing in more high end on the tone gets a nice kind of driven tube amp overdrive tone though. Also doesn't get weird with an active preamp, which is nice.

Yeah, I've been using a bunch of different Big Muff pedals (EHX and boutique clones), messing with all sorts of different settings, stacking and blends for years. The one I've been using has heaps of low end, so that was never and issue, but the voicing was just never quite right in the mix and the gain and tone knobs had a pretty limited usable range. A couple minutes with the Pickle Pie B and I just said "Ah, ok...there it is". I wish this guy would make some more bass specific pedals, something based on a RAT or some kind of overdrive. I would buy that in a hot second.

I use a vintage Rat with a clean blend now, when I want distortion, and it sounds great. Without the blend it cuts a lot of low end out. I'd just like something dedicated to bass, especially since I love using the Rat on guitar and I'm getting to the point where I just want to have two different pedalboards set up, so I don't have to swap things around and reset pedals all the time. I've thought about the Rat Tail, but the Fuzzrocious pedals have an outrageously long wait. I don't mind paying good money for a good pedal, but fuck wait lists.

you can get their pedals stamped now or painted by their son & the wait drops to a couple weeks I think.
the rat tail is cool and all but i feel like there's too many choices on it. the beauty of a RAT is the set & forget simplicity IMO.

There's no accounting for what sounds better with Rats, in my experience. I've heard them with and without the LM308 sound better or worse than the other and I've heard multiple identical pedals sound different from each other.

That's so true, I think it's a case of the tolerances of the other components can really add up to a net gain or a net loss in tonal quality no matter what the chip is inside a pedal. Kind of like the Fuzz Face but not quite as bad of a percentage of good/bad as they used to have when they were being mass produced.
I think unless every pedal has trim pots and is tweeked by one person at the plant there will always be good, bad and many shades of grey in the middle.

BTW, the pedal sounds fucking awesome.

Seriously, if you jerks like fuzz... get a Ritual. Shit is aggressive enough for most heavy musics. Palm mutes well, doesnt handle triplets too well, it's just so gnarly and fat. It'll be going down the right channel on my dbeat recording project thing. hm-2 going left, and the caitlinbread SCOD Dean sent me going center. Probably use the Ritual on the bass, too.

On Friday I bought my first ever guitar amp, the Peavey 6505 plus 112 combo. Decent sounding amp, good price and some nice features. I had looked at getting other stuff (Laney AOR etc) but the fact that most of the time I play bass and barring an emergency will never ever play a gig as guitarist, made it the right buy for me. Even though the 100 watt half stack would be better, it it not 'better' me if it is too loud for me to make much use of.
I also bought a BBE Two Timer delay. It was either that or the Akai. BBE was more versatile.
The rest of the summer should be fun.

Got myself a Peavey Valveking 112 combo with good tubes (TAD) for cheap. I'm going to convert it to a head, install a bias pot and mod the drive channel a little. Way too much gain on this one.

I'm using it in front of a second gen. Model T. Volume dimed gain and 9oclock. Gets me crust punk, thrash, old school DM territory, sounds awesome, if I crank the gain I get into newer death metal-area. All with a Guild S100..

it sounds gnarly in front of a model T. the or120 is just so dark, and already pretty high gain when cranked, that it was only good when I wanted a super, super heavy/noisy party, which isn't too often.

I Received a Stewart World 1.6 today for my Harmony H303a as a pre-amp to raw amplification project.
Up to 1400W at 4ohms, honestly it is more power than I can justify, or use to its full potential considering the current draw when bridged. Looking forward to finding out if they live up to their reputation.
$275 shipped.

Recently scored a Marshall Lead 12, made in 1986. Been needing a home practice amp that I wouldn't also mind using for low volume gigs like one of my current projects.
Very pleased so far! It's like the mini-me of my jcm800. Already looked up mods for it, heh.
Got the store to let it go for $50 less than asking price cause I also bought 2 sets of bass strings. Haggling is awesome.

Valve Jr's are awesome. In my opinion they can get very doomy with fuzz because the lack of EQ makes them sound mid heavy in comparison with other amps which are usually scooped. You need the right cab to add some low end.
The downside with pedals is they start getting dirty really quick. Like past 2 they start to break up. I have heard of some tube swaps that sound pretty fun and would help it stay cleaner.

You would need to put in an octal socket, increase the filter cap size, and get a much much bigger PT and OT, honestly not worth the effort. If you want a SE Class A 6550 amp, just make one or pay me to do so!

Electric Brown is awesome
I have a SS amp and it sounds a bit different then the demos ive looked at(all tubes)
but still does the job I wanted it to do
I was lookin for an OD that really brought out some low end
and thats what it does
It was sold out everywhere though, I emailed every retailer that said they had one in stock
D.E.FX said they aint makin pedals till after console is done(XMAS)
so had to get one used off ILF
the E.B with the philosophers tone sounds amazing
as well as the ARIA disnortion

They're 12's. Yeah the tabs are fucked, that's an easy fix though. Someon painted some sort of horrid looking logo, then painted the entire grill black. I don't know if I can strip it back to silver without causing a lot of damage, so I'm probably going to have to find some suitable replacement cloth for it.

Got this for $120 recently. I found it in a studio I worked. The guy didn't even know what it was and just wanted to get rid of it. It needed a bit of love, nothing more than a few hours of work and it was back in shape.
I thought I would never like a pointy headstock guitar with a Floyd (Ibanez Edge to be exact, which in some ways works better than a Floyd) but.....little did I know....

EDIT: This is not my picture. It's courtesy of http://www.ibanezregister.com. I don't have a good camera so I linked to this image. My guitar looks identical and in nearly the same overall condition. Just a few dings.
Made in Japan in 1987. It's a Pro 540 Radius. Neck is a bit thinner than a std Fender but not the super thin wizard type. DiMarzio pickups, master volume and tone knobs, and indivindulal on/off switch for each pickup. String spacing is identical to Fender, as is scale length.

Dude I remember seeing one of those Sabers years ago in a guitar shop and I was drooling all over it!
The one I got is a Radius though, not a Saber. They were both part of the Roadstar II Pro540 line together with the "Power". The Radius had the thicker neck out of all three. I do like the thicker neck. I don't think I would be able to live with something thinner than this.
One thing I find extremely surprising is how much I enjoy the Edge trem. I've avoided Floyd type trems so far because they always looked a pain in the arse to setup. It's actually not that bad. And anyway, the little hassle involved is definitely worth it. It' s such a precise device! And the trem bar sits way lower towards the body than any other trem system I ever tried. It makes wiggling the trem bar while playing a breeze.
I can't believe I scored an instrument like this for $120.

New amp day! I bought a GK MB800, probably only the second time I've ever bought a bass amp new actually. It's light (4 lbs), it's really fucking loud (800 watts @ 4ohm) and it sounds great. I just sold my 800RB and wanted something lighter and louder with a similar sound, this definitely fits the bill. A little more gain on tap in the preamp, a little more low end and it's got a lot of punch. I'm a fan of the GK sound through Ampeg cabs and it sounds killer through my 410HLF (with the tweeter turned off, of course).

GK definitely has one of the best power to price ratios of any bass amp brand. Definitely the lowest compared to similar amps from Genz-Benz, Ampeg and Mesa/Boogie. I actually made a spread sheet when I was shopping for amps, comparing price, weight, features and power. Plus, you can find dealers who sell well under the minimum advertised price, if you really hunt for a bargain. These go for $699 from GC/MF and that lot...I got it for $549 and it shipped the same day. Ordered Monday, arrived this morning. Of course GK has a "sound". If you like that sound it's a great deal, if you like something different it's not. It's not like they're tonally inflexible, there's a lot of overlap between brands, but they all have extremes the others don't. Personally, I like the GK sound. I've owned several of their amps before, so it's pretty awesome to be able to get that sound, with that power and that little weight for that cost.

It's been a great year or two for pedals. My Timeline, Space and BlueSky are just amazing. The POG was fantastic and somehow the POG2 is even better. I'm hoping the EHX Superego is as great as some of the demos I've seen on YouTube. Black Arts has rewritten the book for awesome fuzz for stoner/doom. The turbo tuner is insanely accurate and yet small and cheap. It's a great time to be a gear whore with spending money.

Actually spoke to the guy who made them. a shop asked him if he could make them a run of amps cheaper than Sound City who could make them for x amount, he reckoned he could, made the first batch, realised it was more work than it was worth, and the shop turned out to be totally lying when they quoted how much sound city would do them for, so that's all he made.

If I ever play guitar in another fast punk/hardcore/crust/whatevercore band I would totally use my Beta Bass. Sounds mean as hell. I like it way better on guitar than bass.

Sadly those aren't my cabs. We shared gear with our boys from Occult 45. The dude Dean uses a RI Model T but I decided to lug the Beta's.
http://occult45.bandcamp.com/album/grind-the-lightning (http://occult45.bandcamp.com/album/grind-the-lightning)
I used both Beta's for guitar or bass all the time. I've used a 370, Coliseum Bass & plugged straight into the power amp of a Concert Bass for bass & guitar as well. I like the Beta Bass for guitar too but the Beta Lead rules all.

I didn't mean to buy a bass today but I've been thinking about getting a P-Bass and I love old BC's especially with the "R" logo. It's a NJ but its made in Japan and has what appears to be a DiMarzio in there although it's upside down from a standard P. The bridge is nice and beefy and it looks like a bone nut. I'll have to work on it to fit bigger strings for a B tuning.

Me like very much :P
In all seriousness, I like it. The Rotovibe's phaser/chorus side was too subtle at times, also the internal trim pot really helps sculpt it, and they fixed the volume drop that the Voodoo Labs Micro Vibe suffered from.
For $50, this beats any Phase 90/Small Stone out there.

Finally made the deal on the Sound City L100 Mark 3. Got it at next to nothing and it looks to be in better nick than I remembered. Still needs work though so gonna start with a good clean. new caps, a fourth power tube and take it from there.
I'm open to suggestions on pre amp mods too. Gonna try it first but kinda tempted to try a Ormat type pre in there instead so just go fully DR103 pre. Will mostly be used for bass btw.

Some new pickups for my Drake Custom bass, Nordstrand Dual Coils. Getting them in the EMG35 shape is usually a special order, but they had them in stock at bestbassgear. So I ordered them on Tuesday and they were here yesterday. Getting installed on Monday, can't wait to try them out.

Well, the Micro VR was a dud. Does basically the same thing as this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkmJZalrqpc
Running mine at 4Ohms as well so maybe it just has problems there? I don't have an 8Ohm cab to test with. Anyway, getting sent another one. Hopefully it works.

Peavey 410 to go with my Acoustic 220, they work really well together. Acoustic head goes crazy loud.
(http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n105/xcruchesx/acousticheadpeaveycab.jpg)
Moose Ampeg Scrambler clone. The extra bass knob works like a charm, definitely more mid gain than my Supercollider which was what I was going for. Together with my SC, it's just wall of FUZZ. I'll try and do a video later.

Wow. I've never even seen old pedal packaging like that. Well done!
I picked up a bass rig today. Guitarded Center is/was blowing these things out at crackhead prices, so I couldn't pass it up. Got the head and the cab for $519 out the door. Sounds pretty daggone good to me. These are apparently not well regarded in the bass community, but I doubt it'll leave my basement much, so roadworthiness was not essential.

Dog tag is a Recovery Effects Couple Skate. Fuzz with low octave. I actually got the demo unit that was sent out for reviews -

And yes, the Vibrafuzz you can switch both effects on and off separately.

Mmm, it sounds so girthy with P90s into it. Fancy one with a probably fucked power transformer (and no valves in) for half price? Kinda can't be fucked fixing it when I've been offered other nice toys. A new power tranny with better taps is probably a good plan for the US.

the Klipps and Supergroups ran the fuckin tubes hard, the schematic shows screen voltages of 560V which is way overspec for EL34s, which are rated fro 450V screens so they probably are quite hard on modern EL34s.

Dude I know has been using them in a Supergroup as his main amp for couple of years now, with a good record. They munch JJs though.

i see they list em as 500V, I have used El34s from 450-500V on the screens without to much trouble. I do include 1 to 1.5k screen resistors along with a 500R dropper right before the choke to soften the screens up a bit so they dont take as much beating.

My guitar and signal chain for guitar are crap though so I hesitate to say whether or not guitar sounds good through that head. Plus I don't have a proper guitar cabinet either.
I love the way it sounds for bass though... Both through my 2x15 and my 8x10. Definitely a cool little amp that's fairly loud, sounds good, and isn't a lot of money.

Been really interested in one of those. Since the truss rod adjustment screw is at the back of the neck instead of near the head, I assume it's one of those Japs. How's the build quality?

Bah, sucks to not live in the US when it comes to buying gear... costs ~785 USD when ordering it from Thomann (which is where it can be found to the lowest price). Ohh well, guess they will be around for quite another while considering that most retailers still are carrying them.

Holy shit Ryan.. that appears to be a Randall Commander IV you have, yes? I don't see many of these. I have the same amp... belonged to my dad who played in a country band in the 60s-80s. I love the tremolo on it. When turned way up, it sounds so gritty, almost like there's a problem somewhere. The first song on the Husky - Sea King album has that tremolo all over it. Love this amp. Ok.. ~carry on~

The secret is, all speakers have to be connected, you have a soldering iron, you can make a special cable, if needs be.

Well, I'm a bass player y'know, but playing with a buddy, running his Peavey Classic 50 into a single 15, strat into my kilt fuzz into the clean channel, sounded very good guitar tone.
So guitar head, to answer your question succintly ;)

Shit my bad. I went and re-read the quote, sober this time. I asked about an unloaded 2x12 and they said 475. Which ain't too bad. Closer to 600 loaded with webers. Then there's greenback options, two tone finish options. I don't know where I got my original impression from.

There's a guy, I think local to here, just getting in to head cab building, let me find his details.
Dunno if a VTM60 would be too big for him.
Here's his website, for his band and shit, you can find more contact info there, maybe some pics of what he's done.

QuoteHi all,
After rebuilding a couple of amp cabinets now, I'm starting get a real feel for this. That being said, I'm willing to try my hand at this as a job on the side. Right now, I'm gonna stick with smaller combos or heads, say like Blues Juniors, Valve Juniors, Kalamazoos, Valcos and such combos. Bandmasters, Special 6's, and a variety of bass heads you might otherwise put in a rack case in terms of heads.
Also, I can convert smaller combos into head/cabs if you like. I just did this with my little Peavey Vypyr 15. tube or solid state...doesn't matter.
If you have an amp that you would like to look spruced up (forgive the pun), send me a text with measurements of existing cab, chassis, and desired speaker configuration, and I can give you a quote.

What size are they? You might be able to by generic rack ears and bolt them to the side, or spot weld them?
Skip that, read the manual, they are 24 1/2" wide, so no way to fit that in a 19" rack, unless you had a custom chassis made and transferred the boards.

Couldn't you make some kind of clamshell out of either wood, or folded sheet metal? It looks like you just need a bottom and sides, from the manual. I keep wanting to do that with this little bass head I have in a way too clunky shell, just get a folded piece of steel for the top and sides and stick some rubber feet on.

I have a multitude of designs, but if you're just wanting a ported box, use WinISD and get the proper dimensions and port lengths for your speakers.

Sorry forgot to reply to this, 215D is the model number for the Peaveys if they're 18" deep rather than 13". I know the speakers sound good in that cab so it'd be nice to compare the WinISD results with Peavey's port design. Actually even if they're the shallower cab it'd still be nice to compare them.
I'd also love to see the port design for the Sunn 215B with the slot port down the side.

Yeah, saw those and the Mike Lull pickups too. Thinking the 3-hole Norstrands might also fit but I need to see if I'm going to really like it before I go buying a bunch of stuff for it. I love it now, but the love could wane and I'd be back to my G&L. Need to make sure that doesn't happen.

About a year or so ago I was on a Thunderbird kick. I tried out the Epi's and didn't really care for them. I even tried out a Gibson and just couldn't dig it either.
the neck on the Gibson felt a lot better than the one on the Epi, but their was still something just kind of weird about it and I couldn't really put my finger on what it was.
I still think that they are really cool looking, but I guess they're just not for me.

Nah, I get what you mean. I felt the same way about my RD a while back. Loved the mojo, but the tone and playability didn't do it for me at all. Waiting to see if the same thing happens w/ the T-Bird. I do like how this plays way more than my RD... Real nice neck & body is comfy sitting down. I haven't played it standing up because all of my straps have straplocks on them & this bass doesn't yet. We'll see. Big tone though. Here's a little tone comparo though just for fun.

Thanks, man... Need to see how it feels w/ a strap, but I'm sure it's not as divey as my EB-3 was. That one was unbearable. It's a neck through though. It's the first I've ever owned and I have to say I dig it. Not super noticeable in the playability but I seem to feel the notes better. Could just be my head doing things but man... I've been playing this thing a lot lately. Totally dig it.

It sounds great with lower tuning. This pedal is high-gain compared to most OD's and becomese more of a distortion pedal after two-three o' clock on the gain knob so you do not get a noticable 'sag' or 'flub' thanks to the EQ.

Corey, my go to is one just like that , though it's an original 6 bolt neck EBMM Stngray, with the mute bridge. I got it from Jon Vesano of Nile fame well before he was in Nile. My shit had gotten stolen and he had this lying around and was kind enough to let me borrow it.
Then a month or do later he inquired rather bluntly that I should buy it.
This guy:
(http://images.vpro.nl/img.db?18866812+s(400))
Been playing it now for close to 20 years, dropped it in concrete, hit shit with it nothing seems to affect it. It's truly one of the most reliable pieces of equipment I can imagine. And it's the best sounding bass I've ever played. Ever. I'll never sell it.
Isn't going through an experience like this a total let down?
I've had similar experiences with Rick's, Les Pauls, strats and just about every other "legendary" configuration. I guess my preference is pretty narrow.

Pretty sure it was during this era. His band was called Demonic Christ then, but he also played it in a band called Dismal based out of Columbus OH.

Demonic Christ, that is old school. I seem to remember that name (didn't hear their music though) from the late 80s 'zines.
Somebody needs to write an article outlining the connection between death metal bands, and weightlifting/powerlifting (talking about his big-ass forearms in the Nile pic)

probably a different band if it was from the 80's. This was pretty short from about 94 to 96, then Dark Moon, then Nile. Prior to that was the Ohio Dismal days I think. I think got the bass in 96 sometime.

You know what's funny is that the time when I got so attached to it was when I found that I was wearing it in. When i noticed the finish on the neck started coming off where my hand normally rests, that's when I really fell in love. It was about 5 years ago. Until then it was a means to an end. A bass I'd gotten as a result of circumstance. Not my first choice for sure. Heavy, active eq, big neck. All of which didn't suit me.
Now though I realize after toying with other basses, it's the best I could ask for in any context. I've learned around it and nothing feels more comfortable. So anyone, be advised that if you go this route, it's active pickups with a really heavy setup that will take a while to get into. Not even sure anyone else will, it took me about 10 years of being hooked to it to do so.

Yamaha THR10 amp. This thing has been amazing. Really good standard amp sounds at practice volume and also has a USB out for recording which is great for quick riff ideas. Has Twin, AC30, Super Lead, JCM800 and Dual Rectifier modes. Plus bass and flat which works better with pedals than the amp models.

I have an Earthquaker Disaster Transport reverb and delay in the loop but it really doesn't need it, I've had the delay off most of the time anyway. The Superego can sustain infinitely on it's own without needing any extra effects in the loop. The loop might be cool with a rotovibe or tremolo or effects like that but unless you want to keep your dry signal un-effected the loop isn't necessary. I think EHX just wants to sell more nano pedals.

The Superego is a cool pedal and a lot of fun to experiment with. What are you running through its loop?
Also curious. I almost picked one up last week (but picked up a BAT Revelation instead...) but still have the lust.
The Chamber of Sounds pair looks great, too.
Revelation is my favorite pedal Mark makes and I've tried all his production pedals except the LSTR.
I forgot about that Yamaha Amp. I was gassin for one a while back.

The Yamaha amp is my favorite thing that I've bought in the last year at least. Super fun. I truck it around the house, record through it or just set it on the coffee table and jam out on the couch. The JCM800 setting sounds so good with everything just set at noon, it's perfect.
The description I heard was 'like hearing your guitar through studio monitors with a full size amp mic'd up in another room somewhere'.
The only downside is that the modeled preamps aren't as forgiving with dirt pedals like a normal tube amp. You just can't overdrive the first tube like you can in a real amp. It just clips. It's happier running with it's own gain but if you keep the volume on the pedals down it works better. It's kind of like a cranky old amp where if you turn the knobs up too high, especially the master volume and bass on the Fender Twin setting, you can get some terrible sounds. It's like my old Music Man amp, if you turn the bass all the way up it overloads and starts sounding gross.
I can do a demo at some point of some more downtuned stuff and with a couple of fuzz pedals. Might give some more information than the demos that I've seen out there.

probably a different band if it was from the 80's. This was pretty short from about 94 to 96, then Dark Moon, then Nile. Prior to that was the Ohio Dismal days I think. I think got the bass in 96 sometime.

No not yet. Been having too much fun with a couple of the stock settings. I've downloaded the software and that's about it. I should probably run it and try to see if there is some different cab models.
Tonight I just came home and plugged my phone into the aux input and played 4 or 5 tunes, it's sweet for that. Dial in a sound and plug in a laptop with the guitarbackingtrack.com website and play some Dio or old Ozzy tunes. Super fun.
EDIT: Fired it up and in the editor you can change the cabinet type which changes the sound a lot. Plus you can turn on compression and some effects which aren't available with the knobs. There is also a noise gate that isn't normally on with the stock presets.

I found a really cheap black Orange PPC412 loaded with Celestion Vintage 30's. As you can see the cloth is damaged, but that doesn't seem to impact the sound.
Was 4000 SEK ($595, they usually go for $1200 new in Sweden - this one's two years old and other than the damaged cloth there's no wear or tear).

2204 is the 50 watt model, ya? If so, I had that exact amp and regret the hell out of selling it. Mine sounded so good, but lost it in a purge. Keep that thing!
Just popped in a Dimarzio DP209BK, which is their P90-sized Super Distortion. I love me some P90s, but this Firebird's bridge pup sounded muddy and anemic compared to my Juniors' 90s. Couldn't be happier with the new one. It's really like getting a whole new guitar for $62.96.

I wish I liked the sound of reverse firebird's as much as I like their looks. I came really close to buying a non-reverse a few years back but hesitated and ended up with something else. I also miss my 800. No amp room is complete without a nice Marshall head.

Are you saying a reverse sounds different than a non reverse? Or just that they look cooler than they sound? Just curious. I freakin love the look of the Tbird but don't care for the feel or the tone so much.

Those mini-humbuckers and the general neck through and weird banjo tuners of the reverse make it quite different. They're closer sounding to Tele's than Gibson's.

Buying fixing and moving on amps is basically what pays for all the toys I do keep, so I'm always acquiring. Had to borrow money to grab this, but wasn't one I could pass on, its a pre Harry Joyce made in Dave Reeves' shed job, and it sounds great, but due to the borrowing money, can't really afford to keep it, but I am going to copy the pre for a rebuild of a gutted SC120. If anyone wants Hiwatt homages with SC120 iron and 6EL34 power sections let me know, might end up funding a run to be made by a mate of mine.

Yesterday I was trying real hard to not buy a pharaoh, and just to ease my pain I instead bought a bad monkey OD. Pretty cheap. But then before it even shipped I went and bought a tube screamer808. Now today I've convinced myself that I really need that pharaoh, so I may be spending the last of my tire money.

BAT Oath in the house. HOLY FUCK. I can't turn my Acoustic 220 past 1 without being ridiculously loud. Even my small Sunn/Fender combo amps volume is around 1-2. Only my Peavey PA-120 seems to have some more control over it with a master volume. The amount of volume is staggering and the sound is "dark dark dark brown". Pretty awesome. Thanks Mark!

Element is a kind of the ultimate OD/Dist in a box with lots of tweakage and the FrazzDazzler (grey one) is like a very very heavy gated fuzz which somewhat reminds me of a FZ2 in a way. Ill try to get some clips later on next week.

The community relies on it's people. I've been at it for many years, and this is what needs to be done. Fuck greed.
Furthermore, every community needs a handyman. It's fun as fuck going to other cities and meeting those dudes. You can pick them out easy, they're the ones with the flashlights and multitools on their belts.
We're lucky here, there's like four dudes like that, and at least one of us is at every show.

That is the finish of those Ludwigs. Called "blue Oyster."
So, basically, it's missing both kick hoops, all of the T-rods for the front, some T rods for the toms, but I think I have all the hoops for the toms.
The hardware is all rusted and pitted. Would it be totally blasphemous for me to powdercoat all of the hardware to match the white in the kit? I've got powdercoat, booth and kiln. It's cheap and easy for me to do. What do you kids think?

I love big kick drums. Bet it sounds good.
The plan is actually get a matching one and stick the two of them together by taking the front hoop off the rear drum, cutting all but the last inch or so out of the rear head of the front drum, then sliding the rear drum sexfully inside the hoop of the front drum, making it a 28x28. Gravity holds the drums in place for the most part, but I might pick up some bass drum woofer mounting hardware just to make it rock solid.
Edit: and I'm still trying to decide between the DW hoop mounted bass drum spurs or drilling for regular spurs.

Nah. My current rig is two 22x16 bass drums stuck together end to end. Haven't really run into issues there. and this one's 4 inches shorter. Also, yes - that is my coup de grace argument with any wiseacre guitar/bass monkeys that think they know better.

I'm told that you can make a coil cord yourself, but I've never tried it. you need a long rod to wrap it around, a way to secure the ends and a heat gun. wrap it, then heat it up (I have no idea how much heat but go easy at first- applying heat evenly to the whole thing) and let it cool while it's coiled. Pretty sure that's how they do it when they're made. I doubt a hairdryer will work btw, need more heat than that. Try it, and report of your success. kthnx.

RIP to your pops' bro. Glad to see his haul going to a good home.
This was my buddy's dad. He's a crustie/train traveling kid, and wanted no ties. He gave it all to me. I've been going around to our show houses and a couple indie venues that my buddies run and giving out PA equipment so all of the houses have legit PA's. Feels good.

A boo-teek Boss DM-2 with double the delay time (600ms) and a tone control. Nice, warm, and dead-quiet for analog delay. Doesn't clip out under heavy OD or fuzz. For the price I picked it up for, it was well worth the money.

New scratch plate and screws fro my SG, have a new bridge and tail piece already here so should all be back together this time next week.
Next up is a couple of pre amp filtering caps for my Sound City and a 6L6 or six for the Peavey and we're nearly there.

Ugh, I hate all of the bills I have piling up. Once I think in nearly done, I got hit with another round. I did get one of those souldier straps, it looks cool and is well made but very slippery so on my neck-divers it kinda sucks.

More cheapies! I picked up a Joyo Ultimate Drive on Amazon. So cheap, I sprung for 2 day shipping so I could try it at practice. I wanted to get an OCD, but figured I'd try the Chinese knock off first. I've only tried it on bass so far, but it sounds killer. When/if it ever breaks I might spring for the real deal Fulltone.

Made a clip at home, real quick just after I took it out of the box. Fender MIM Precision in B (rattling like crazy, because it needs a setup) > Ultimate Drive > GK MB800 > DIY 1x10 > Shure SM7b straight into my interface, no compression or EQ. Settings in the pic are what was on the recording.

Yeah, I have a hard on for Les Paul's.

Picked up one of them there Yamaha THR10 amps a couple weeks ago. Very, very cool little knockaround amp for the living room and/or recording. Lots of great features on board and even more when connected with the USB cable to a 'puter.
I intended to buy the THR5, and after playing around with both for a while, came to the conclusion that the 10 was definitely worth the extra $hundo.

when I jump in , I jump in big.........or not.
this sounds pretty nice, even tho it sounds pretty small. I don't mean small as in "not loud", I mean small as in tin can small.
That being said, I was already jamming to ted nugent the thinness doesn't matter, and that strengthens the concept of "thin guitar sits nice in the mix". I was using playing tone to get richer or thinner/more cut and of course playing volume variations.
uncle ted has made some of the best, and imHo thee worst album ever made. so he really is bi-polar, but the one with fred bear is just a party album and relaxed nugent and nice to play along with
they have a speaker jack in back, so no problem changing speakers, but this little speaker may have its uses, time will tell.
wtf $99 for tubes. and no hesitation about voiding the warranty heh
the guitar jack is in back. I don't know if I like that yet, but pretty small detail at this point. good grades for looks. it's cute.

A box arrived this week.
Got an Elements pedal to replace my Musket for a while. There are so many settings on it but so far I'm only into the low gain. The high gain is just a bunch of fizz with the stuff I've tried it with so far.
Got the PGS Trinity version of the TC Hall Of Fame reverb. Sounds amazing with dirt and cleans. Makes cleans sound piano like. A bit bright but has a tone knob for the effect which is nice. Haven't tried the TonePrint where you can download other presets yet but that's a nice option.
Also got a EarthQuaker Bit Commander synth pedal which is fun but I have got to stop buying different synth pedals. They are all great fun but I usually end up going back to an old OC-2 into fuzz for organ stuff.

Technically I haven't acquired this gear yet, but I'm too excited to wait, so I'm posting it now.
Just ordered all the parts for a Warmoth Tele Deluxe build. This guitar is a pretty good mashup of my favorite attributes of a Les Paul and a 72 Deluxe. Obviously, the silverburst finish is very Gibson, and also the neck is a '59 Gibson profile. The 6150 jumbo frets, too. But I think the best parts are veeeerrrry Tele. Extra Light Swamp Ash body. String-thru body/bridge. Four-bolt neck. Inline tuners (I love that). And last but not least, the 25.5" scale. I grown to greatly prefer the 25.5", for a lot of reasons.
Peep my rendering and some screen grabs w/ deets. Super stoked to put together my dream machine. Expect me to bump this in 4-6 weeks!

Yeah. For the time being, I will be using the bridge and all the (upgraded & changed values) pots/electronics I have in my reissue Deluxe. Despite their innerweb reputation, they work spectalularly for bringing the heavy and the sparkle with my rigs.
Maybe someday if I'm feeling randy, something like these will find their way into my "Silverburst Deluxe"

got new cabs for my bass heads, so now I have an 810 wall of sound. these cabs only weigh 40 pounds each, and both fit together in the back seats of my corrolla. They sound great! They are the gallien kreuger ultralight 4x10 cabs. Here is my 810 rig with my rickenbacker 4003 and my line 6 400 lowdown head and backup peavey tour 450 head:

That tele looks sweet. If I can ever sell my stingray I have a jazz body all designed at warmoth. Jazz body, P neck, two humbuckers and rear control cavity. Ill probably use a fender neck with a rosewood board just because all my other basses have been maple.

That Ovation looks tasty as hell..
SunnJake0))) hooked me up with a Sunn Concert Bass recently, on account of him being particularly awesome. It'll make a swell slave !
I got an Avatar 4x12 w/ Vintage 30's the other day (week) for 200 clams from them Craigslists, pretty square deal methinks..
Next: 'nother cab, a pedal here and there and carefully looking for a guitar (I'm a pretty notorious impulse buyer, gonna shop hard this time..)

I scored an Epiphone G-400 at our local music-themed pawn shop* for 110 bucks, it's one of the mid-90's era models made in Korea which are "supposed" to be somewhat superior to the since-2002 Chinese ones (can't confirm or deny)...plays great, intonation is awesome which was the dealmaker for me. Set-neck, pickups sound better than I expected, etc. Pic isn't mine but here 'tis

Grabbed the first black G-400 pic I saw actually; mine has "Gibson" vertically on the trussrod cover which is also a Korean trait (according to Wiki)...it also has an "I" for the first digit of the serial which is supposed to denote Korean mfg.

That Bluesbird is nice. I really like the Guild solidbody stuff. Even alot of their import stuff was solid. I just made a trade for this guitar yesterday. It's a Gretsch BST 1500. The DiMarzio's are stock. I traded a Teisco hollowbody for it. It even has the original case.

It's actually solid state. Normally, I'd be 100% against it, but there's only two brands that I'd buy a solid state from: Sunn O)) and Acoustic(before they closed shop the first time).

Bought this, sweet boxing day sale item, plus i have been wanting an rd for a while, the thing is super heavy and sounds like it, basically a jazz bass sound with huge bottom end, something my SG bass didn't do.
got it for $1500 off msrp (which i know msrp doesn't matter) but still $700 off what musicians friend wants for one (so that makes it $700), Also picked up an ART Digital MPA2 for under $200 (just need to upgrade the tubes and it will make a fine beater preamp.

Fingerboard is what it is, I do not find a big difference really, looks like a black rosewood, feels simlar to my rosewood guitars to be honest, not as soft as everyone online complains about. In all honesty I think it is one of those guitar snobbery things, put a blindfold on and never be able to tell it is a "inferior" wood.
Out of the original RD's the Artist had the humbuckers with moog electronics ( 4 knobs, 2 switches), the RD standard had passive humbuckers that were kind of single coil sized (3 knobs), but the pick guard was always like that, The RD standard had no pole pieces so it was not as noticable in photos. This has SD stk-j2's in it as it is supposed to be built based on novoselic's modified RD, this is the reason the poles do not line up either, That however has no affect on string/note volumes while playing it.
It is HEAVY though.. 11.4 lbs, very solid feeling bass haha. I LOVE the sound of it though, a jazz bass with a huge heavy solid body, huge low end.. hard to explain but if ou guys ever have a chance to try one out at a shop def plug it in.

Ampeg 8x10 anniversary edition. It took me a while to get used to how bassey the cab is but I dig the shiz out of it. The thing is loud as hell with the V4 and I expect it to be epic when I get the Orange head in a month or so.
My major concern was getting the thing in, and then out, of my car (2011 4 door Ford Fiesta) but it really wasn't that difficult.
I was going back and forth about getting 2 115 orange cabs to go with the Orange head. But I've always wanted a Fridge and I got a good deal on this one so it was a no brainer for me.

There's no fookin way you got that thing into a fiesta. I'd love to see it. Very cool that you don't have to drive a van or truck to gig, saves some money. Why do you want to replace the V4?

The new Ford Fiestas are bigger than the old ones. The only problem is that the back doors don't open up enough with just push the cab in so you have to wedge it in and then pull it from the other side. Having another person there helps a lot but it's not impossible to do yourself.
I've had the v4 for like 5 years or so and have dumped a good amount of money in it. And while I dig it, I just want something different. Plus I've always wanted an Orange head and will have the means to get one in a month or so.

Just arrived in the mail today. A used Pigtronix Philosopher's Tone compressor. Got it at a pretty good price and it looks like it was never used, in the box with the power supply and all the paperwork and still looks brand new. I got it to put before my OCD to get some more sustain on really held out chords and it's doing the trick nicely so far. Having the blend and treble controls are really nice to keep it from getting too squashed sounding in the process, I dig it.

As much as I liked the SKB board, the wires everywhere made me nuts and the thing was a lot bigger than what I needed (that's what she said). So I broke down and bought a pedal train along with a power supply.

Picked up an Akai Analog Delay and a JOYO Voodoo Octave.
Turns out the voodoo octave is pretty much a fuzz pedal with a weeeee bit of octave up thrown in. I actually really dig the fuzz since it's completely different from my Red Witch Fuzz God.
The Akai analog delay, while not incredible, does exactly what I want it to do and doesn't color my tone. Plus, I got this thing for a fucking ridiculously good price.
Now that I've realized that the JOYO octave is a fuzz pedal. I'm looking for an ACTUAL octave pedal. Also, I just put a EHX Holy Stain on layaway. Pumped aboot it.

Most octave up pedals are octavia/foxx tone machine type (fuzz with a subtle Hendrixy harmonic-sounding octave). Octave down pedals will double your note, but octave up does not (with a few exceptions, for example POG from Electro Harmonix, or the Pitch Shifter/Harmonizer type pedals from Boss).

Finished my Telebastard this afternoon and am all set up with my Squier Tele now. The Squier got a maple neck (that I had lying around) and rewired with a Seymour Duncan Hot Rail that coil taps with the push/pull tone pot (thanks, Galactus). The 'Bastard will eat Les Pauls for lunch and the Squier is an absolutely lethal goddamned sleeper.

The difference is that now I'm in love with it. The Guild of Calamitous Intent.

I love their cabs and some of their bass amps and none of their guitar amps (though I haven't tried anything newer than a Mark IV). I hope I can find a good deal on another one. I tend to like 4x15's more than 8x10's.

Actually, there is a potential downside to those cabs: if the screws holding the grille loosen or the rubber pieces that isolate the grille from the rest of the unit dry out & crack, they can get rattly. Easily fixed with some Loctite and/or new rubber pieces.

I think he meant downside in that it is normal wear and tear, but it's wear and tear that can directly affect it's ability to function acceptably (depending on how bad the rattle is). Not just something like scuffing or paint chipping, etc. that tend not to affect the sounds it makes.

Dan, it's a custom order AL-3XXX. I guess it is most like a 3200 because it has neck-thru and contoured heel. I have a GFS Mean 90 I just haven't got around to putting in the neck position.
It plays and sounds awesome! I received it all set up, dressed and ready to play.
Gibson who?
If I had to come up with something negative to say, it would be that the gold color is more metallic sparkly than a traditional goldtop.

Since I poached a lot of the parts from my walnut Tele Deluxe for my Telebastard, I've slowly been acquiring what I needed to put it back together. And since it was all pulled apart, I decided to take the very thick poly down to a much thinner (and now matte) finish and beat it up a bit. Very pleased with the look, feel and sound of it now.

Sorta cloudy, but I'd say its just "matte" now. Finish taken down with several of those green kitchen scrub pads slapped into an orbital sander. Swirl marks buffed out with Nu Finish Scratch Doctor auto polish.
You might be surprised what it does to your brain when you pick up a the same guitar sans all of that thick poly. It truly feels like a whole different guitar.

Had to go for the green. Looking forward to its arrival.

I suppose I'll probably use a dirt pedal or two, but yeah the description of it has delivering a really powerful clean tone was appealing. Only thing going against it was the fact that its either 2 or 4 ohms. I have two 8 ohm cabs, so that means full stack at all times. Would have loved a v8, Sunn 300T or old school Ampeg but price and availability etc.

It's just like other highly polished bone, hard and chimey and very slippery. I actually like the Red Bear and Blue Chip picks a lot. I don't really wear them out so while they are really expensive for picks I take care of them so they last years for me. They have an interesting way they grip the strings, very subtle but I notice it so that's all I need.

I could try though I'm not exactly experienced in the matter. I'm pushed for time at work and uni at the minute but I'll definitely open it in the next few weeks for you. I think someone on talkbass a while ago had a picture up but its not a full on guts picture.http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f15/show-your-trace-elliot-guts-610670/
I'm pretty sure its all PCB though. The 6 KT88s are set out in an L shape, for what that is worth. Seems like a Fender tone stack with 2 - 10 -2 type 'flat' setting. Apparently its a fairly clean amp but I won't find out until Wednesday when I can actually use it at any volume. Its not a Matamp but as a first valve amp its not a bad start.
Edited as I confused PCP and PCB which is indicative of my mindset at the present time.

You guys are gonna kick me out of the Heavy club: I traded my 80's Aria Pro II Flying V for that Yamaha 12-string & a brand new Samick Orchestra size 6-string to beat on.
I swear I couldn't help it. I heard some dude trying to tune it, and even with the tuning whack, it sounded VERY interesting. Waited for the guy to put it down, tuned it to DADGAD & hit the open chord, and I was in love. Been playing her all Saturday night & Sunday. I should be banging on that Samick to get it opened up a bit, but I've been giving that task a lick & a promise.
I'll get some samples up because this thing is the sweetest sounding acoustic I've ever owned. Rich tone, overtones out the ass, rings forfuckingever. Ah'm in lurve.

Came in on Friday, custom built bass preamp from Nick at Dunwich Amps. It's an Acoustic Control Corp 140/150 style preamp, with a modified tone stack and switchable effects loop. It's meant primarily to be a platform for dirt pedals, the preamp itself is pretty clean.
(http://i190.photobucket.com/albums/z3/coreyyoung86/photobucket-51338-1362776471868_zpsb6be9610.jpg)
I did some demos of it, through a power amp into a cab and direct with cab sim.

Already have Faber locking studs, alum tail piece, and locking bridge on the way. All in banana. Next, pups. Then will go the RS Guitarworks route and replace the pots and caps. And, the tuners ain't all that. I'm going to try to get along with them, try.

I have the same tuners on my '70s LPC. Do they say "GIBSON" on them? Of all the guitars I've burned through, they might be my fav tuners ever. Out of curiousity, what's jacked w/ yours?
Great looking guitar, by the way. It's hard to find a mid-70s LPC with a beefy neck.

Well, let's just say it ain't no skinny minny. My last guitar had something like a slim 60s neck and while it was nice and playable this neck is bigger is thicker and wider (insert general discussion joke here). I actually like the idea of a larger 3 pc maple neck. It seems like it'd be more stable over the long haul. Perhaps even less like to have the head snap off.
Sunn, even if I swapped out the Gibson back Shallers I wouldn't part with'm. If for some unforeseeable reason I must sell the guitar I'd want to include them with the sale. You know how Gibson people are. The Schallers don't seem to stay in tune compared to the Gotohs on my last guitar. I'll change out the bridge components with the Faber stuff, replace the strings, and see if I can live with'm or find some thing replacements that use the same holes. Not confident that this is possible but worth looking into.

Goddam. Just spent almost 2 hours restringing my new 12-string dreadnaught and cleaning the gunk off the fretboard. My hands are all jacked now.
Couldn't even use a pegwinder because the tuning pegs are so close together. Now I've stretched the strings out & retuned a few times, so I'll let her sit and wait awhile until my fingers aren't throbbing.

Truth be told, I don't really care for them aesthetically. I mean, the finish and the woods are really nice. But the body contours are kinda bulbous and what I think are somewhat "inelegant." But mother of god, does this thing sound (and play) incredible.

When I was a wee lad the local guitar store stocked these. I asked the guitar store owner (douchebag extrordinaire) about these guitars and he told me they were jazz guitars and I never really looked twice at them. All us young idiots had eyes for the Westone Pointy Axes he carried. Oh how time wounds. BTW, beaut.

I just dropped a ton of dough on the rig and a brand new Ric so I'm going to chill on the gear buying for now.
I've owned a ton of different cabs over the years. In fact the last one that I had was an Ampeg 8x10. And while I love LOVE massive cabs...... that shit ain't easy to move around. I also drive a new Ford Fiesta and it became a nightmare getting that 8 10 in and out of that thing.
Once I get some more fundage (not to mention a band) I'll probably get another 115.

I remember you lamenting on what to get to fit in the roller skate of a car. :D My 8x10 is of the first generation variety. 1969 straight up rectangular fridge with no tilt back or towel bar. Just a couple plastic handles you might find on a combo amp. Everybody grumbles when I say I'm using it for the show. Cuz there's usually another cab or 2.

I can carry a 4x12 in each hand and 8x10 fridges up and down flights of stairs alone no sweat, so when musicians bitch about gear loading I really lay on the heat, haha. I remind 'em there are folks that lift shit like this for eight hours a day, they can do it for eight fucking minutes. "But my back, my hands!!" Fuck off ! ;D
Disclaimer in fairness: I'm bigger than most cats, especially wispy musicians, I'm mostly bustin' balls ;)
That Rick and head look tasty, the 1x15 (?) is probably great for that room and recording, but I'm sure you know it wouldn't work live (in most circumstances)

Seems even with one of the loudest production cabs available, 30w amp with little transformers probably isn't enough for what I do. Nice for living room jamming until someone buys it though. Sounds pretty good.

I'm a slight 11 and half stone and 6' 1" but years of working in construction/furniture means I can carry cabs and amps no problem. Not sure I could balance an 8x10 though, especially not theses days. Still I've always enjoyed being a skinny fucker with with more lifting ability than most..

mid loud.
One of the big reasons why I bought an Orange 15 instead of something else was because they don't sound like a typical 15. They are surprisingly cutting even though they don't have a horn. The Ric also helps this and the OX fuzz isn't a low messy sounding fuzz.
The interesting thing will be down the road when I either build or buy a bass with a mudbucker in it. I've been listening to a lot of Grand Funk lately and I have semi GAS for a bass like Mel Schacher.

Anyone notice they "pre-countried" the control setup on those blacktop teles?
That's known as the "reversed switchplate" mod, I believe. Gets the volume control closer to the right hand.

Bought an Egnater Tweaker 1x12 combo yesterday for the living room. It's super versatile and really comes close to nailing the tone of its intended targets: I guess they'd be Fender Deluxe, Vox AC15, and hot rodded Marshall. Lots of good sounds to be had from this little dude. Bonus is that its cathode biased so I can change out the stock 6v6's and toss in 6l6's, 5881's, el34's, etc. I never really paid much attention to these amps but i ab'd it against the Tiny Terror I was intending on buying and lo and behold the Tweaker was the hands down winner.

New Album recording and gigs coming up, gonna be running my Elgen Lead 100 head, this one was made in the early 70's by a builder at Orange. Very Loud and very clean. As such I needed to put together a pedal board for the first time in a long time. Here is the result, Xenu bless tax rebates.
Chain is, AMT Japanese Girl Wah (THE wah for use with Fuzz) > Rockett WTF Fuzz > Black Arts Toneworks Coven > Catalinbread Octapussy Octave Fuzz > Suhr Riot > Paul C Timmy > Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Mk III in Super Bass mode (amazing platform for Fuzzes) > Catalinbread Dirty Little Secret Mk III in Super Lead mode > Neunaber Chroma Chorus > Strymon Flint Trem/Reverb > Strymon Timeline Delay > Neunaber Stereo Wet Reverb.
Few more to come, I kinda want to get hold of a Perseus and mebee a Pareidolia.

A very TGP approved board (much like my own). The Suhr Riot never got along with any of my gear, nor did the Timmy. I've been thinking about the Japanese girl wah for a bit but it's hard to find wah's that sit well with lower tunings and can also cut through fuzz.

To be honest, the Riot is a stop gap until I find what I'm looking for. It's not bad really but it doesn't cut like I want it to and with the tone up it fizzes out some. It does the job for now but I'll jump on something more suitable as soon as I find it.
I actually don't use it with my band, I just wanted something that could do high gain so that I didn't have to fuck about with plugging in to a different head if I got an idea I wanted to try with that kinda tone.
I'm open to suggestions for pedals to try that could replace it for sure.
I really dig the Timmy, it's absolutely killer in to the DLS Super Bass and is great at kicking my amps in the balls when needed. I really like the EQ it has too, the cuts are great and have a huge range.
In saying that though, I've only ever run it in to two pretty unconventional amps. The above mentioned Elgen and a small 3 Watt crystal clean valve amp a buddy made for me. I'll have to try it with some other amps and see how it is.

The dr. scientist Elements is highly regarded. When running into a modestly dirty amp I like the D*A*M Sonic Titan and into a clean amp the Toneczar Openhaus EQ is my favorite. The MI Audio Crunch Box is also really nice for that JCM 800 type high gain.

It's more important for acoustics/hollow body guitars.

in the summer when the temp is hotter than 70 for some time, the basement is a giant dehumidifier. I have to run a dehumidifier or humidity hits 100% and the pipes drip. this one is a second little one just for the music room. just this little blast of 80+ got the basement to 80-90%humidity when I left both dehu's off for a day to see.
during this little cold snap, I left both off again and they sat at 60%.
I set them to run it down to 45-50%.
that warped neck website says dry heat is the worst thing to distort guitar wood

Sold my previous one, because it had a totally impractical matching cab and I didn't want to split them, happily found a replacement. Of course, doesn't have the right impedance tap for any of my gigging cabs, but it sounds great. I have a matching 2x12 that will do.

Dig. I constantly threaten to buy one but never follow through.
I replaced the speakers in my ultralinear Twin today. The markings on them have lead me exactly nowhere, and they both sounded like shit and were unreasonably quiet. Went with an Emi Swamp Thang & Tonespotter combo, and it's now a fire-breathing behemoth. I'm happy.

Erm, well, I have the Dual Rec, and the 800. Neither can ever go anywhere. The beta? That's just my shop amp, at this point.
The Traynor was cheap enough that I could probably keep it and not feel bad, but I got it for such a good deal, I should flip it and square myself with you, and throw money at other projects (like finally putting frets in my kramer, which I got the tools for, today.)

I dunno, i got to play it, I love it a lot, but between those two amps, I have absolutely no use for it. So far the only playing I've done is the "one note tone drool."
played some Kyuss through it...

Every time I go to rehearsal, the sound of my Scrambler clone into my Supercollider is fucking riff heaven. Kinda like the droning notes at the end of At Giza but with more fuzz (I didn't even know that was possible).
Nice amp!
Wish I had some new gear acquisitions.. Looking into to getting a local guy building me and a couple of other dudes a nice cheap theremin just for random noise generation. Perfect for intro's/outro's. I'm not going to play melodies with it so no need to get a Moog theremin.

I had one and I loaned (with intent to buy) it out to a dude with poor money habits. He sold it and never paid me. I haven't seen him since, but I doubt I'll acknowledge him if I do.
Funny thing is, the guy that bought it used to show it off at the rehearsal space. He was so proud of it, then he had it hot-rodded and was proud of that too. I didn't have the heart to explain to him it was my fucking amp. Wasn't his fault other dude was a thieving schiester.
They sound great though. I wouldn't bother modding one like so many people want to do to them these days. I think they sound great stock.
The bigger brother YBA-1A is pretty boss as well. Great bass head.

The YBA-1 sounds killer stock. My '70 model is my favorite amp. It sounded even better/louder after I got it recapped and serviced too. Definitely a "one note tone drool" amp...love that. That's how I feel every time I plug mine in to test something (guitar, bass, cab, whatevs) real quick.

One important note about those Fender Wide Range RI pups -- they sound pretty lifeless and muddy with the 250k pots that come standard with them (at least w/ the Tele Deluxes I've had). A set of 500k pots for me was huuuuuuge difference in tone. They keep the thick lows and have a really nice sparkly spank. Love em. Love em enough to have put the Gibsons down and never looked back.
Also, I'm pretty intrigued to hear what you think about that short scale Mustang neck. Especially since you tune pretty dang low.

It will need to visit my luthier for sure, and he is a wizzard, so im sure he can work something out. If I like it enough I suppose I could always get a new neck if the short scale bothers me. Thanks for the tip about the pots, i'm going to have swap them out. I also won an Avedissian humbucker recently from that Dunwitch Amp contest, so I may throw that in there to see how it sounds. It plays nice, a little weird on the little neck, but I haven't plugged it into the or120 yet. That will be the true test.

I've been going a little gear nuts over the past few days. I bought another Orange 1 15 cab (I'll post pics when it's with the big rig) an Orange Terror bass and a hartke 112 neo cab.
The original plan was to use the other 115 cab for the terror and then I could get rid of my old Yorkville combo amp that weighs a ton. Well I forgot how deep and heavy Orange cabs are so I figured I would just keep the new cab with the other one for full stack power.
I couldn't find a reasonably and light bass cab anywhere. The orange cab that is "supposed" to go with the terror head is stupid expensive. Anyway I wandered into the local Best Buy and they are blowing out all of their music gear because they are only going to sell it online from now on.
The cab was originally priced at like $400. I offered them $150 and they took it. Sweetness.
The thing sounds decent, only weighs like 30 lbs and it can handle 300 watts. Sold

These compensated saddles delivered today. Just spent 2 hours setting this one up as a bona fide backup guitar; which meant it needed 13s, dropped to B, intonate the saddles and adjust the truss. She fought me at every turn, but I feel like a just broke a wild stallion – this thing is a serious, serious sleeper now. People might shit when they hear the apocalypse that will bellow out of this thing.

Riffer, your drip edge Fenders are super badass. Nice scores!
Do not really need this per se, but could not pass it up for the price. It's a pretty unique limited edition Arctic White FSR Tele Deluxe with regular T-style headstock, squared neck heel, and 4-bolt.

Do not really need this per se, but could not pass it up for the price. It's a pretty unique limited edition Arctic White FSR Tele Deluxe with regular T-style headstock, squared neck heel, and 4-bolt.

After starting a thread about too many amps, I got rid of a few. Only to end up dragging another half-stack home ??? I didn't need or particularly have a use for it, but the price was right at $190. I bought a Fender FM100H w/matching 412 cab. I couldn't resist. I like solid state though too and dig modern distortion.

I'm assembling a proper pedal board so I bought one of them tuner floor pedals. Oddly I never bought a proper tuner floor pedal. I might proclaim my punk cred on that fact alone. Anyway I've always found Boss pedals to be workhorses so I picked up the TU-3. I also got some new strap locks and two guitfiddle wall hangers. I'll post a pic in rigs one day...I swear. On a separate note, you fucks have me jonesing for a tele. This is a new feeling. I've never had the hankering for a Fender, ever. good job. Well maybe that Tele-V, but who wouldn't pause over a picture of such a wonderous frankenfiddle.

Made some massive upgrades to my pedalboard. I ditched the Strymon's (Timeline and Mobius) and bought a Moog Delay and Cluster Flux (already had the MuRF). I've only had them for a day but I've already found multiple settings on each that I find far more useful than anything I came up with on the Strymon's. The Strymon's are great but I'm just not a guy that's going to dial in a ton of presets and then save them. THe Moog's are warm yet cut through the mix and you can dial in really subtle stuff or just awesome crazy tones. Some of the sounds were really inspirational.

The 100 watts you speak of would most likely be the power input, not output. Generally it's the case when power is noted adjacent to the voltage and frequency.

Scored an Orange 4.12 today off of C-list - its one of the stereo Thunderverb cabs with the G12K100s in it.. 2 months old... $625 - woot.
Im on the fence about putting the speakers from my Avatar in it - private jacks and g12h30s....hrmmm. I had a very similar cab years ago - i got it from muleboy... handled my svt at small club volumes easily... choices

Those speaks were too "woofy" for me. I ended up putting in one WGS G12H30 clone and one V30 and left the 100s on the bottom. Now the 100's big lows are a nice compliment to them and blend in pretty seamlessly.

I was wondering about that... but because of the huge handling disparity between the pjs or the 30s and the the k100s - i was afraid that I wouldn't be pushing the k100s hard enough... I like the idea of the tighter bass response... and with the mid-barky pjs... I thought it might be a nice combo... I gotta decide by sunday.. cuz sluggo is gonna help me swap em out then

I wouldn't worry so much about the handling as much as the sensitivity of the 100's. The PJ's and G12H30's are fairly close (101db & 100db respectively) so they mix nicely and not one speaker dominates.
Looks like the G12K's come in @ 99db so they are a bit lower, if I'm combining different speakers I usually don't go more than 1db difference in sensitivity unless i want the desired effect of having 1 speaker "warm" up the sound (still not a big fan of that but that's just me). Honestly, the only time I've really noticed a difference is in the 3db difference range, for example a Greenback 97db and G12H30 anniversary model 100db, the GB's add to the sound but the G12H's really dominate the sound and mix and it's just not a sound I like out of a single cab.
You could prob get away with pairing either the PJ's or G12H's with the 100's but I like that combo on their own (as you know Lip). Not a big fan of the 100's at all really, but I can def see the practicality of being able to use it for bass as well.

I picked up a Sting Ray a few weeks back.
Actually I first bought a Sterling (real one) for an amazing price, and then traded it for the Sting Ray. The Sterling was in much better shape, but I prefer a chunkier neck.

idk seriously, it looks like tape, especially since they aren't dead nuts machine square, neither the pieces themselves, nor the exact positioning wrt machine aligned frets. hate me if you want.

They're not misaligned, it's the angle of the shot and also the thickness of the low 135 guage B string.
I don't care and certainly I don't hate you. But realize every time you dive into whatever babbling rant de jour, it just makes you more of an irritating asshole. And one incapable of expressing himself in less than a half dozen or so rambling paragraphs.

so grats, now you own the most awesome looking basement of ever and the most crappy looking tape job of ever. 1st fret looks like a sweatband or something. and not paralleling the strings jars the eye as it moves up the neck
That truly looks like shit. I hope I didn't ramble.

It is the pro tube evil twin. It's a 92, and actually gets a ton of breakup. It's funny, the "clean" channel is dirtier sounding when you pull the push pull knob on the master volume than the actual dirty channel. Scored it for pretty cheap, so I am super stoked.

Well I sold the Sting Ray that I posted on here a few days ago. I just ordered a faded brown Gibson SG bass. I love those basses but they are damn near impossible to find. I finally tracked one down and got a good price on it to boot.
Today I picked up an Acoustic 370 bass head which I will be listing in the for sale section. I only bought it because I got a good deal on it. I already have waaaaay to many amps.

It sounds great. Actually reminds me of the OR120 more than I thought it would. Nice low end, good mids. It's a lot more balanced, and doesn't have that Orange tone, but I am loving it so far. I basically dime the thing.

Well - this is my new rig. I swapped my Traynor and some cash to Taylor for the OR120 - and thanks so much for the kind words Taylor. Then - I traded the OR to Slugfuct as he has been seriously gassing for one for his RI JCM 800 and one of my old Emperor cabs. Sold the Emperor cab, bought this Orange cab - swapped the K-100s from the Orange with the Private Jacks and Hellatone G30Hs in my avatar cab and sold the Avatar for $250.... Sold my Gibby Explorer - which - honestly - I wasn't feeling - and bought this Eagle. All new rig. I'm stoked.

I was selling a Pbass, and the dude who came to buy the Pbass ended up making an offer I couldn't refuse for both. It was some cat buying high end stuff to stock his new Nashville music store.

I needed another amp like I needed a trite comparison, but the situation was right, and it has British-made Celestion G12-65's. Sounds so good. Sounds even better with a BAT Revelation in front of it.

Demo a Disaster Transport delay or keep the DD3 and add a Trinity/HallOfFame reverb after it for the space.

It took a few days to get used to, it's jazzier sounding than my last ride but I'm really liking it now. More of a medium, medium-heavy cymbal than a heavy one but that's how I like it. I posted a recording with it in the recent recording thread but I didn't have it closed miced and the overheads were doing some weird peaking stuff.

A lot of dodge stuff in there. Looks like written by someone with no clue what they are talking about. "to warm things up, an ECC83 driver tube was also used. ", pretty sure the ECC valve in there is the phase splitter for the power section, since its a standard Laney power section. Plus its on the power section, which is separate to the preamp section.

I've got a used Neptune Delay coming in the mail, for about 60 bucks. It's about an even trade if I sell my Ibanez DE7. Neptune delay has a pretty cool 'decay' function on a momentary switch, you can hear it at around 2:50 in the video. I love momentary (non-latching) switches for this kind of thing.

The short answer is very close. Similar tonal characteristics, attack, hiss/hum, and single coil sparkle when rolling off volume or playing clean.

Electro Harmonix Random Tone Generator. It's kind of a two-trick-pony so far, but I like the tricks. Not going to interest most people. No input, output only. More for tabletop electronics diddlers such as myself. Pretty cheap, and I got a 20% off sale, so I said yes.
(http://altomusic.com/shop/images/product/117677-01e096c64bcc2d5110a7bdb07d381153.jpg)
Could also be cool driving a vocoder, or something? Clerk said it couldn't be used as a carrier tone for a Ring Mod, but I wonder if he is wrong on that.

Got an offer of a trade on a Roland Space Echo RE-201 and some cash for my Sunn 2000s. How much extra cash should I expect? Might be kinda cool to have a space echo.
space echos are indeed a wonderful thing to have.I think they go for abut $800 now in goo dshape so , subtract that from your amp price?

Make sure the motor is in good shape if you get a Space Echo because there are no replacements. Mine crapped out and only makes this crazy warble. IIRC there's a company in Australia that can fix them, but you have to remove the motor and send it to them and it pretty expensive.

Was going to go with the MXR Carbon Copy Delay at GC until I tried this one and was sold. It's digital but pretty hard pressed when blind-folded to tell the difference between it and an analog delay.

I think there's only one, the one that drives the tape. I did some research when it broke and the only solutions I found were: send it to Australia to be fixed or try to repair the motor yourself.

How do you know it's the motor? Does it turn at all? Electronic motors usually... Go.. They don't fade.
It's a brushless DC motor. Depending on what voltage it wants to see, the motor circuit will drive any motor of that variety. I read a few minutes ago that these things have bearings? Those could sieze or be shitty, now. Also, the roller could be out of adjustment... Heads dirty... So much on these fuckers to break.
Also, apparently shitty aftermarket tape loops can do shit like that, too. The motor has its own separate fuse too...

This will probably get me banned but I played in a band where the singer sang through a Space Echo and we used to all try it out in our guitar rigs and it never sounded as good as it sounded on vocals. If I had $800 to spend on a crazy effect I'd go find one of those Fender rotating baffle speaker cabs or maybe I'm dreaming on price. Those are the craziest sounding things in person. 3D sound reflections from every direction in a smaller room.

I see FOUR fuses. F3, 2.0a is the one for the motor. Next to that fat cap. If it's out, that explains it. If not, that rectifier for it may be shoddy. If you can figure out what pins on those molex connectors are power/ground, you can try to spin the motor manually. It wants to see +15V, you can probably spin it with a 9V.

This isn't the DAM forum, where speaking your opinion about gear gets you comments like "fuck off if you don't like it" or my favorite personal insult, the understated yet powerful, "cock". At least, from what I can tell.
I don't personally like the Space Echo for guitar either. I've owned one more than once, and was never that blown away. They do sound great with vocals, and even keys. For my money, the Echoplex is the best tape echo unit ever made. Even then, I'd take the El Cap if someone put the choice in front of me.

Even sold a Maestro wedge after being told by everyone else that it was the holy grail. For $159 it's a steal for the quality and small footprint. Highly recommended.

Single pickup Mexican strat with a fixed bridge and a Dimarzio Distortion+ $300
Carbon Copy $120
Pedal Power ISO5 $75
Harmonizer paid full price for that one.

Honestly, I haven't tried it. Too busy with dad duties.
Stole this off the web: Quantum Mystic Overdrive is an opamp based distortion/OD featuring a 3 band active EQ, germanium clipping and a captivating presentation. It draws cues from the old Ross Grey Distortion, highly tweeked . The QM is my first "signature" pedal. I worked closely with Mike Scheidt from the Portland Oregon band , Yob. Mike is known for great tone and groundbreaking music in the underground metal community. We decided to adapt his favorite pedal from the seminal early YOB records into an updated and upgraded circuit. The result has been stunning using both mine and Mike's ear, and also the artwork of another underground legend, Arik Roper. We pulled together something pretty special and I think you all will like this one.
Here's a demo by Mark:
Stole this off the web: Quantum Mystic Overdrive is an opamp based distortion/OD featuring a 3 band active EQ, germanium clipping and a captivating presentation. It draws cues from the old Ross Grey Distortion, highly tweeked . The QM is my first "signature" pedal. I worked closely with Mike Scheidt from the Portland Oregon band , Yob. Mike is known for great tone and groundbreaking music in the underground metal community.

Probably going to buy this package: http://stlouis.craigslist.org/msg/4063788891.html
I figured that even with used eBay prices on that stuff I can make enough on selling most of it to essentially get the Fender amp for free and maybe come out a couple hundred ahead. The only thing I'm worried about is the Laney. I can't find much information on that model and it doesn't seem like many people use them. I don't have any use for a super high gain 3 channel amp and will need to unload it to make the deal worth it. They were over $2000 new and I'll be selling it for $600 or so. You guys know anything about them or have an opinion if it will sell at that price? He has two of them and the one I would get is the one without any issues.

He's building me a custom 300W head. Modified Mat/Orange style preamp, with mid control/freq select, 6x KT88 power amp, With a slave input to the power section. Primarily for bass, but modified a little to make it usable with guitar too. Mostly as a pedal platform, going to be pretty clean. Going to run down to 2 ohm as well, so I can blast the wall o cabs. We went over the design of it for a long time before starting, I traded him my Gibson LP Custom for the build, since I was replacing it and planning to sell it to finance a build/purchase.

Thats right your the Lp trader!!! That guitars a beaut!!! And I love the amp idea, very similar to one I was discussing with him after having mine built. Except mine was pretty much going to be a slave only head with no preamp just a slave input. I can definitely vouch for his ormat style preamps, thats what the green one I have posted above has and the amount of clear low end is insane!!!

My idea is a bit of a hybrid. 2 channel preamp (SVT and GT120) matched to a 200W hiwatt power section. Thinking of going with a Dr. Strangelove theme.

Originally that's what I wanted to do, since I already had him make me a bass preamp that I like, just a 6xKT88 power/slave head. Nick convinced me that it was pretty much the same amount of money and work to make a whole head and I could just put a slave input on it. Wise words indeed!

That's exactly what he told me hahahaha I had the Annunaki head specifically built to slave to a 300w and he still insisted on atleast putting volume / bass / treble on there. Then I ran out of funds and had a 3rd kid.... Luckily I had just enough stuff to sell to pickup this second one but now I'm completely out of any gear I don't use on a regular basis, and my gear fund is at zero with no refueling in sight.

I know right? But good luck getting him to accept that positive feedback hahaha Really? I felt that DA200 he built for Adam, the guy who built the black cabs on the last page, was nothing like Dixie's tone. The solid state preamp he built for me could easily summon WE tones though.

It's been in the family too long. My buddy bought it brand new with the matching cab that has the og Randall Jag 85 watters in it (which are killer speakers and a super low end sounding cab all together). He bought them in '89 I think for his Hair Band that never did anything. Stored at his parents house for about 8 years, got hard up for dough so I bought the cab and head from him for $300. Still have both and can't seem to part with them.

Nope, but some here may know him as BeeBassDude. Including the person I'm gonna quote below. ;) But he uses the full rig no matter what the size of the venue is, from outdoor events to tiny bars. I can definitely say hes dedicated.

That sentence made me really horny :x
I messaged Gentry the other day after about 3 hours of drooling over Hex and Eagle Twin, oh what I'd give to have one of those amps. Its him and his drummer that custom build heads and cabs, I think its whatever people want, I've read that there's a model T clone. I wouldnt be surprised if they've started doing guitars and pedals, I know Gentry rewired his guitar so its kind of like a mutant guitar bass, and the drummer made a 'phase waver' pedal for using loads of amps which apparently SunnO))) now use. If I lived in the US he'd be my first choice, the Eagle Twin tone is unbelievable....

This is the only HEX guitar I've seen and it was a joint venture with EGC I believe.

And from what I remember the Heads are pretty much exact Model T clones.
Everything from products to music from Eagle Twin / HEX is just fucking amazing.

He made that one himself. I've been talking to him about it via facebook. I asked him if he could do Ironbird/mockinbird wings. (he said yes.) They're interchangable according to him. So it can conceivably be shape you want it, since it's neckthru.
But yeah, he seems a real sweet guy, and for not being totally set up for it at all times, the prices are pretty damn reasonable. Makes me wish my Marshall would sell, even faster, now. I kind of want to toss him a deposit, so he can get started.

Also got this sweet flying v for a buck at Goodwill, I'm a shredder now.... apparently

Picked up a stripped-down Epiphone EB-3 (the version w/ the 34" scale) set neck+body a month or so ago for $20 on Craig's. Been loading it up with parts from eBay here and there and now this is what it looks like with a grand total of $90. Just have the pickguard and back cover left to go, but it's growing on me as is.
Sound like a wooly mammoth.

Those Hex amps are made by a local wizard out here named Ned Clayton. He's also the one who made Gentry's splitter/phase inverter that people are all gaga over. Gentry and Tyler then make the head cabinets at the shop. My band shares the practice space with Eagle Twin, which is also the same place they make the cabs. Everyone's gear is pretty much now coated in saw dust for all eternity.

Yeah, just saw these this morning. I'm itching for the delay and the drive sounded pretty good too.
Alright I'm lost what brand are these??

It does pretty good! I wanted something Young Widows / Earth esque in tones and it does it in spades while being completely silent (its a "vintage noiseless"). It loves my Marsh Chapel (a 70's LBMP clone) and the clean tones are amazing.

It's a 5 way selector. So first position all humbucker, second is mix between bridge humbucker and middle (strat), middle is all three which actually sounds really awesome and twangy, fourth is split between the middle strat and neck tele, fifth is all bridge tele. That little switch in the middle is a kill switch someone installed before I owned it.

I find really hard to believe that, in the case of the Ring Mod, there's only one knob to control the effect itself (Freq) while in the original Ring Mod there are 3 knobs and two panel switches... is it just me or did they sacrifice too many parameters in the mini version?

I'll probably do that too as the other way can get pretty repetitive but either way it'll be useful. If I really like it I may step up to the EHX 2880. It's more of a desktop deal with a foot controller. Fuck, who knows. I have a lot of hair brained ideas often. I just bought a bunch of synths and all I've accomplished is having fun and getting really confused.

Those little synths like the microkorg and alesis shoulda had little loopers built in..they have sequencers but a more immediate loop function would be amazing on those.

So goes as following: Korg Pitchblack -> Moose23 Scramblass (Ampeg Scrambler clone + tweaks) -> BYOC Leeds Fuzz (Superfuzz clone) -> DOD 250 -> Hardwire Stereo Phaser.
For the moment I'm pretty set since that Hardwire has an envelope filter setting as well so my Bassballs is off the board for now

It's basically the only pedal that has survived the recent changes ;) Mainly because it sounds so good with other pedals, either dirt or modulation. I love it as a boost for my other pedals because of the octave overtones. And the combo with the Superfuzz & phaser just sounds insane.

Copy & paste Jake's SBG500 for sale post here.
Got into the office this morning and it was here waiting for me. :D
And the nice thing about buying from a Jam Roomer is that it's already set up with decently heavy gauge strings.
No tuner in the office but I tuned it to roughly C standard by humming some Sleep.
What tuning did you have this thing set up for Jake?

Yup. Been on a purging and consolidating bender. Feels good.
Re WGS: I opted for the 55hz Reapers, but I would prolly recommend the 75hz ones. Well, if used by themselves anyways. Sound good mixed up with something like a V30 or new Greenback.
Re 6x12: The unloaded Atlas was a measly $475. Made to whatever specs/cosmetics/whims I could dream up. Solid as a goddamned birch tank. Will eventually purchase more as needed (wanted).
Re SGB: I think I had that at drop C, so the intonation might be pretty close at C standard. Stoked it got there in one piece. And duty free! Aaaand some bonus "Denver reprezentin" stickers in the case for ya, too.

I've been looking everywhere for one of these basses with a maple neck. I finally stumbled upon one in a Pawn shop somewhere in Indiana. It's tough to tell from the pictures just how green (and awesome) this thing is.

I think that it's from the 90's but I'm not 100% sure. The neck is stupid fast, even without a setup and the pups are crazy loud.

That looks sweet, I love that color combo. I haven't had anything with a transparent green finish and black pickguard for about 10 years and I'm constantly thinking about putting together something with that combo. That's what I end up building half the time, with whatever instrument, when messing around on the Warmoth site or something.

I agree with the posters above. Great looking bass. Neck looks like more of J neck or in between J & P?
The G&L ASAT Bass & a Rickenbacker are both high up on my GAS list. But I'm good for now.

the perfect formula to rock on the go! using a battery eliminates noise fer sher.
for me, the Pharaoh is one of few fuzzes with germanium that can go in front of a DAW.
good with guitar rig too.
and in front of a tube amp; bigger and better!

Gunning for the 10:1 ration of guitar value to amp value. This is checking out pretty nice, frets are tidy, 2 piece body, set neck, stacked bucking P90s. Wraparound bridges are kind of shady, think I'm gonna through string it with a TOM.

Had a need for a lower wattage head, figured, why not me? Now I need a nice 2x12. Anyone?
Also got a '74 Gibson EB-3L bass that a) had it's lower bout destroyed and re-glued and b) got re-wired for a single tone, single volume. And it it kinda needs a bridge. And it sounds like warm doom itself and I love it.
And I got a bolt-on 70's Epi acoustic that needed a shim, bridge adjustment, fret job, and new strings, and now sounds just awesome.
And I'll probably pick up an EQD Arpanoid soon because I have an 8-bit project that could use it.
And I got a new black denim jacket to make into a BR00TAL vest for MDF and Gilead Fest. So. That's all my new stuff.

Been in heavy GAS mode for a few weeks, I think it's winding down. I still daydream about the perfect delay that is loaded with features, inexpensive and tiny. But that delay doesn't exist, and I'm fine with the delays I have. There's a lot of cool delays out now, but I don't want to spend that kind of money.

I also just Flashback on Sunday. That delay seems to do as many things as the El Capistan but I only paid $123 on amazon instead of $300 for the El Cap. Some of these TC pedals have Tone Print. Both pedals I bought have this. You can download onto the pedal via an usb port (yes the pedal has a usb port) specific settings from renowned players. Not why I bought them and I probably won't really use that function.

Hall of Fame and Flashback def. look good, I just was overwhelmed with so many choices (and wanted to go as cheap as reasonably possible). i got a Verbzilla and decided not to spend money on another delay (I have a DL4 it's just huge and heavy, but I can use it). Maybe I will sell the DL4 at some point and go smaller.

I had a DL4 and wasn't especially in love with the sound. I, like Sunno))), left it on tube echo setting as that was the best, to my ears, had it to offer. I figured I'd just go ahead and dole out the cash for something I would'nt want to upgrade later since I kind of regretted the DL4. And, the dude selling the Malekko 616 never responded to me. Not even a sold email.

it sounds like el capistan is a slightly different featured delay than the standard setup. my impression is that it is a tape echo box emulator. even having tape fuck up effects like crinkle and wow and flutter. very slick, very subtle.
I could see having a psychoblaster delay like a malekko or memory lane and that el cap.
el capitan for some serious vintage constructions, like ballady surf music or something vintage psych sounding.

Peavey Rock Master tube preamp from Music Go Round. Came UPS 2 days after I ordered it. Into the SS power amp of my little bass head it's very tight sounding loud and it has just enough of a tube vibe. Sounds really good and very similar to my Amptweaker TightMetal pedal. I partly bought it for the clean channel which I will need to get a specific switch to use but with it's own 'ultra gain' distortion up all the way I think it has just enough dirt. Will use next practice. Ordering a switch tonight. Kind of sounds like a Mesa Studio but at half the cost.

The blues lawyers probably didn't buy Meatheads, they went with the more expensive Tonebenders. A one knob Meathead is for the commoners.
I gave my one-knob Meathead clone to one of my no-good guitar players (I'm sure he lost it by now) - the one I bought from you. I need to find another one, they are cheap ($50) and good! One just sold on Ebay for less than $50.

Stumbled over a used (used and used, it was three months old and hardly used at all lol) Gibson Sg Special 70's Tribute yesterday. Got it for a really good price as well.
I guess it's more of a updated w&f due to the finish but it looks and feels great. Haven't bought a new guitar in years but this one I couldn't resist.

The two are not really comparable. The Flashback is a for all intents a modelling pedal and looper. Thh 616 is a straight up analog delay with modulation capabilities more akin to the Carbon Copy. The Flashback is really impressive and super clean. Does all kinds of neat shit. The 616 is a dark sounding analog unit. Both are very cool but very different.
Check this video of the Flashback.

Yeah, I've seen all the demo videos on both of them. Already have an analog delay, Tech 21 DLA Tap Tempo, which is super clean sounding for analog. I tend to use it for ambiance and somethings for oscillating effects on recording projects, but it doesn't really do the vintage dirty delay sound people seem to love. I've been thinking of picking up something with that dirtier sound, to compliment more dirty tones and a more raw sound. The Carbon Copy and the 616 seem to get the most attention online for that use within their price range. I know the Flashback is modeling, just wondering how it holds up with some of the more analog modeled sounds compared to the real thing. I think if I was going to go for a super clean digital delay sound I'd just stick with a Boss DD7 or something. Cheap, plentiful on the used market, gets the job done. Analog voiced digital delays seem to be all the rage now and actually starting to sound good, the Flashback seems like a powerhouse of features for the price in that market. Most of the nicer analog voiced digital delays are well over $200, it seems.

I sometimes use a DD-3 just for a a little width in my sound but the Flashback has a dynamic function that might work for that. Not so much delay for when you're riffing to keep clarity but the effect comes on in pauses which is kinda cool.

Picked up a '90s black knob Fender Dual Showman head today on impulse because the price was right. It's not light. The reverb sounds good. For a tube amp it has a fair amount of headroom and almost off the charts volume. Might take it back, not sure yet. Will experiment with it more tomorrow and a/b it with my other amps.

I have the Tweaker 15 combo and Fuckin love it. Definitely sounds best with the master pushed above 1 o'clock, really opens up. I love that you can roll power tubes without biasing, I've found that if you live on the Marshall setting el34's will obviously make it more Marshally. Fender=6l6, although they can be a tight fit. I play with every setting and I think sticking with the 6v6's does the best job of covering all the bases. Mine came with shitty Rubys so I swapped em out for jj's and put an old RCA in the v1 preamp slot. For the price, that amp is tons of fun. They named it the Tweaker for a reason, it's easy to fall down the rabbit hole with those things. TGP has a super long thread about em, you should check it out.

I had a 5 watt Frenzel for years that I'll regret selling soon enough.
You get a little amp like that with a pre out, and an understanding of slave power, and 100+ watt tube monsters stop making sense. That Frenzel was ridiculous; if the tube pit the socket, it was good to go. Didn't even have a bias control. I have no idea how the guy engineered that but it was really unique and absolutely useful and fun. Really changed the amp when you got into power tubes.

that is a really good bit of info mule. I have only gotten to know a single 12ax7 pre amp and an 12au or wtf ecc little 2 watt deal sounds like
so, here is this way richer pre amp section. I noticed that right off the bat. the greta with 1 tube is coarser. this is a good thing much times, but it almost requires some kind of pedal to warm it up before going into the greta. the tweaker sounds like a pedal front end alone. comparatively..so I really liked that.
I never spent time with an orange front end, but they use a cascade for pre tubes too and they sound great to everyone that has ever used one. maybe that's why egnator went this way also. w/e glad they did.
second thing besides the sick array of little tone switch combinations was the sound of the output. that twin 6v6 sound is totally different than the greta 2watt single ecc or 12AU wtf they use. totally intruiging and just different. i'll figure it out better after spending some time with it. they had a little 16ohm cab with a 12 in it for $180. it sounded nice, but not that nice haha.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I commented before how the greta pre out just totally turns my old kustom 30w 12"combo into a raging monster of pure rage haha. that is such a cool setup now. and I basically have been hating that combo amp for ever since I have owned it. couldn't even give it to my buddy.
im kind of working my way up the wattage ladder, learning wtf i am doingmore and more. noticing differences in sound from amp to amp. i have the 2 hammond chassis a 50 watt and the 18 watt reverb amp. both work just fine as of last time i fired the hammond up. so i am ready with some bigger amps without spending the bigger money when i get up to the 50 watt/100 watt sizes, which i may never do actually. this 15 watts is pretty loud just being by itself. it will rock the 4x12 nice im sure, but i doubt keep up with drums, but who knows, i have yet to push this little guy hard yet.
my son has one of those peavey xxx beasts and a hartke 4x12. he got them in some kludge deal, but for its size, i have yet to hear anything able to cause pain like that rig. fuck is it loud. that can drown out the drums, drown everything in the room except bass tones. the problem is you cant turn it way up to see what it really has. you just cant. not even close. so , it may as well be a ss amp with hi clean gain and just feed it with whatever you need the sound to be. have to use pedals when you play an amp low volume if the input gain boost cant do it alone
it almost would seem that having an orange style pre amp, and a stable of various sized/type power amps that can be swapped to power the speaker combo du jour needed for that particular playing session would be a nice thing to have.
so, here is this way richer pre amp section. I noticed that right off the bat. the greta with 1 tube is coarser. this is a good thing much times, but it almost requires some kind of pedal to warm it up before going into the greta. the tweaker sounds like a pedal front end alone. comparatively..so I really liked that.

No photo but I just picked up a Tascam DR-05 handy recorder thing. Stereo mic, mounts on a camera tripod. Not tiny but takes regular AAs.
Was using my iPhone to record riffs from my home jams but the phone was corrupting voice memos some of the time so I'd lose files and the mic doesn't sound great.
First impressions on the Tascam is that it sounds really true to life and the level is easy to set. It has an auto peak reduction feature so when clipping it turns it's own gain down. I haven't tried it on anything super loud but what I've heard so far is really good.
USB into the computer and it shows up like a flash drive. Easy.

It's super rad. I also have the Minibrute if you didn't know. They work really well together. I connect the audio out of the micro to the audio in of the micro and use the mod matrix of the micro to the vca and cv in of the mini. That way I can have duophony and run sequences on one and the arpeggiator on the other for some really cool patterns. I run them both through an overdrive, reverb, delay, and phaser and midi'd to a drum machine.
I'm picking up a monotribe tonight I think to do some mods to.

I might be able to flip a Laney for a profit here in Dallas. But, no thank you. I've just sunk some coin into restoring, top to bottom, two YBA-1 Traynors. Took them both to a hippy who still performs the magic on old amps. Went to some Traynor pages and down loaded some ideas. I had the bias mod done on both, took out the polarity, put in grounded pigtails, one new 12ax7, two new 6550s, am going to remove the cable holders and woodwork an opening in the bottom for some convection. There was a lot more that could be fiddled with but I like the idea of the amp as the dude designed it with mostly only functional improvements. Can't wait to plug'm in. Also, a new pair of Sheptone Tribute pafs on the way. Next up, fuzz hunting.

I bought 4 more of these. one for under each cerwin vega, one under the amp stack and one for using as a furniture dolly since my original one is under the guitar stand.
I love these things for rolling salt buckets of water/salt/rocks/w/e around, and speakers. once in a while furniture even,heyyyyyyy
ALSO: nowhere can you buy 4 250# rated swivel casters and 16 nut/bolt sets, and 4 scraps of wood for $8.99 when they have a sidewalk sale on these, so I would buy these to tear down just for the casters. I shopped casters. fuck me running if some of those wheels aren't 5.99 apiece. fuck that noise.

hey lumpy, there is this Chinese tool store haha. they have the longer furniture dolly on the page I linked for 16.99. the short ones, which I got are regularly $9.99, which is still pretty decent after you price the individual hardware.
I know that was a pretty low grade thing to post in the new gear thread, but people could put wheels on like everything for cheap, so IMO, this is good info.
these are decent sized wheels that roll over small stuff nicely. not those wussy little stylish shit rollers on computer/tv carts etc
they have a boatload of stores maybe there is one in your hood :)

Came with a homemade 2x12 I wrote off initially, but opened it up and it's nicely constructed. The tubes are labeled "The New Tube" and, based of the most 80's logo I have seen on something in many years, I'm guessing are original (or at least of the era.)

sweet. they are always having sales and coupons etc etc.
next sale, I want to get another pile of those dollies. I can put some of my marine system stuff up on wheels too, like sumps, which are basically holding containers to add water volume to the system. a 100 gallon aggie tub(for watering cows haha) weighs 700-800 lb. a platform made from 2 of those long dollies will be perfect so I can ease that thing around to clean under it etc. I also have stacks of 5gal salt buckets full of many types of substrates, crushed coral, dead skeletons, dried liverock rubble and even salt. those buckets full of rock/sand weigh a lot. I want to get them all stacked 2/3 high on dollies too.
I am afraid to try out their $89 generator. I cannot wrap my head around the idea that something of quality can be made and sold for that price.
stamped screws is one thing, but there is a little internal combustion engine involved here..so I am way leery about that

I installed the Gibson P94 pickups into my Explorer over the weekend (they are essentially humbucker sized P90s). They sound great but are proving to be a bit of a nightmare. The pole pieces stick really far out of the housing and although they have flat-head cuts in them, they do not appear to be adjustable. By that I mean I put reasonable force on them and they didn't budge. Should I try to really crank them down?
This is a problem because I have the neck pickup lowered as far as it will go and the pole piece still rubs on my high e string. I have the raise the action to an absurd amount to overcome this and although the guitar is still playable, it's far from comfortable. And I'm not a person that uses really low action. If anything my action preference is higher than most. What's a guy to do? I considered truss rod adjustments but I think that would have very little effect on the 22nd fret position action, which is where the problem is. Any ideas?
This is a problem because I have the neck pickup lowered as far as it will go and the pole piece still rubs on my high e string. I have the raise the action to an absurd amount to overcome this and although the guitar is still playable, it's far from comfortable. And I'm not a person that uses really low action.

I have an LP Jr. with a P-94T in it.
Those pole pieces are adjustable.—maybe try screwing in the other direction to see if the limit is maxed?

Update: I was able to adjust the pole pieces and get them back in a reasonable state. I then lowered my action back down and got things set up correctly. Man, these things are awesome. They sounded tremendous through my Fender Blues Deluxe. I normally consider that amp having little to no gain, even with the gain cranked, but this guitar made it have a nasty snarl to it and I actually turned the gain down. I then took it to band practice and played through the Laney 2x12 (which I'm experimenting with while I have it) and I had to cut the gain on all the channels. The P-90 style must have a much hotter output than normal single coils. Next up is trying them on my Stonecutter and JCM 800. ;D

Yeah, they're pretty hot, a lot higher output than P90s.
They do sound pretty close to P90s, but the higher output will hit the front end of your amp differently. I've stopped using an overdrive pedal when playing my Jr. because the P94T is so hot, it's not needed.

Waiting for my new pups to arrive. I am not a fan of hot pups, I like'm PAF-y, alnico, bitey, almost single coil, with a 50's country & jazz sound. So, no surprise here, I doled out the cash American for some PAF-y clones. I had the V-59s from JS Moore in my MIK Lester and they were very, very nice (in retrospect). But, I thought "why go with the same?" So, I pulled the trigger on some Sheptone whatevers, their standard, not overwound here or there, in a boat with a goat, models. Fucking dying for the cunts to arrive.

Are PAF's the same as the '57s that Gibson puts in their, say, Historic 335s? If so, I wasn't a fan. I had them completely lowered and they were still too hot. Sounded great on the JCM 800, but shitty on my Stonecutter and Fender amps.

PAF 'type" p/us vary widely in their resistance. The original PAFs were pretty low output, but between Gibson & all the aftermarket p/u makers, there are "PAF type" p/us rated anywhere between 7 & 9k.
The Burstbuckers are probably closer to a vintage PAF than the 57s, imo.

I'm in Moscow fucking ID for 6 weeks finishing off my degree after being evacuated from Bangkok. Stopped in the local guitar store to grab some picks, and an acoustic called out to me. It told me to play it.
Some days of pining and haggling and scratching my head where I'd find the money or what I'd sell, I was doing my taxes. Opened up a mortgage statement, and there at the bottom was a check for an escrow surplus big enough to buy this beauty and have cash left over. After all these years of thinking "someday I'll get a nice acoustic..."
1971 Hofner 496 for $650. I'm in love. Best instrument I've ever laid hands on.

Looking at a Gibson chart and they are saying that the 57 classic is Alnico 2 at 8.15 ohm and a 57 classic plus is Alnico 2 at 8.52 ohms. The alnico 2s should be hotter (hotter is not entirely the correct word but shall suffice for this sentence.) than a PAF with an alnico 4 or 5. This combination of Ohms/Alnico 2 is, on the internet, considered to be a desired pickup due to the hair it brings to a cleanish amp such as a bassman (Clapton never had access to a Soldano for good or bad). Also, rolling back the volume on virtually any humbucker is a reality.

Hahaha, I will divulge a weird squeal when using the "both" input with the gain above 5.
But if you use A or B, it's quiet at idle and deafening at 2 on the volume. It is without a doubt the loudest combo ive ever heard. I dunno how much, yet (i really want to bro deal, but i also want it to pay for the b25b Nd requisite repairs so I ultimately get it for free...) I also am sad that im going to sell it so soon...
I'll probably move on the B25b after I'm convinced it's in usable shape.

Long time back someone posted a link to the Wilson Freaker Wah and it blew my socks off. Had never heard of the parapedal. Well I bought one and got it a week or so ago. Still learning how to adapt to its extreme settings and can't tell what the fuck the knobs are doing since they have the industry-demanded vague terms like "quack", but it's cool. Sounds way more extreme on clean than with overdrive, but I suppose that's to be expected.

My buddy got the drums home for me while I'm away. The snare failed (aka passed) the magnet test, confirmed chrome over brass. Good shit. On to the Guitar Center used website for the cymbal hunt.

WMD Geiger Counter, Civilian version. I need sound-manglers. Got one used for a nice price. The full sized ones seem a little too complicated, but that might need to happen some day.

Picked this up for cheap, ebony J-45. Had the headstock/neck repaired, Wasn't a complete break, was broken at the shop. Really wanted the burst style but for the price I was not going to pass it up.
brought it home, new strings, removed the cheesy tort pickguard. Now to decide if I want a batwing or tear drop pickguard (if any) in either white or pearl white....

Not sure what to do with my Epiphone Masterbuilt now though.

While this isn't exactly new, I just finished fixing it to a playable condition. Truss rod nut was stripped and the neck was way out of whack. New nut, oiled the fretboard polished the frets, made sure it was intonated, and voila, I got a new toy that was just taking up space before. 1985 G&L El Toro. Kind of a rare bird, but this one has been gutted so it doesn't have much collectors value. The stock pickups are impossible to find, as this was the only thing that housed them as far as i can tell.

the epi basses are a good deal. good price, plays well, and sounds great. I love my thunderbird. might have to paint it white or silver sparkle tho.
just picked up a little crate profiler 5, battery powered portable stereo amp through craiglist. for $45 this thing rules. it's got two little 4" speakers and loud enough to jam with a drum circle, which is why I bought it. it's got clean, med gain, and high gain amp profiles and the three separate effects, delay and reverb knobs are a useful feature. finally, it's got guitar strap pins on either side to make it even more portable. glad I bought it already. I used to have an old maxi-mouse battery powered amp that was kinda cool, but weighed a ton. It was rechargeable, but sounded like crap now that i think about it. this thing totally kicks it's ass

My GAS is becoming a problem. It has advanced to a level never before, mainly due to funds that were never available before. I tell myself, "After this there's really nothing left for me to want/get," which turns out to be a dirty lie.
I've recently done a lot of reading on the Strat Plus and Strat Ultra. I want one. When I was a young kid and had the new Fender catalogs my dream guitar was the ultra with the ebony fretboard, roller nut, and lace sensors. I don't think I've ever even played with lace sensors but dammit I want to. I found a hell of a deal on an Ultra and I'm going for it. I figure if I can sell most of my shit at a profit down the line then it wasn't such a stupid decision. Those Pluses and Ultras seem to just be going up and up in recent years. You guys have any experience with them?

What year?
The first really good guitar I ever bought was a Deluxe Plus. The Lace pickups are nice, less pull on the strings so the sustain is excellent. The paint is worn off but I think mine has silver, gold and blue Lace in the bridge. Great sounding pickups but a little low output on the blue. I lucked out and got a swimming pool route on the body so swapping in a pickguard with dual humbuckers is a quick and easy switch for some more gain.
The old Wilkinson roller nut is horrible, the big wide one where you have to thread the string over a roller and then under another roller. Binds up on bigger strings. Avoid. The little roller nuts with the ball bearings are awesome. I don't know if HUGE strings work but I have a 56 in the low E and a 46 in the A with no problems.
Anyway I really like mine. I use the neck or middle pickup all the time and tune down as low as drop A with no modifications needed for intonation other than clipping the spring behind the low E string saddle.

Cool, thanks for the advice. The one I'm looking at is a '91. It does have the original wilkinson roller, but I only use 9 gauge strings and play exclusively in standard or drop D tuning anyway, so string size won't be a concern. I'm also interested from an investment perspective--I could probably sell it the next day for a $600 profit.
But it's taken me a long time to figure out what I like and the recent trend of buying a bunch of shit and trying it out has really sped that process up. For instance, I never realized how great a guitar could sound with one amp but be really "blah" with another. I've also learned: the materials of an electric instrument have at most a negligible influence on tone and should only be thought of from a comfort perspective and the real tone influencer of a guitar is the pickups, especially for you high gain fuckers. That said, all the other stuff really affects the playability and comfort of a guitar. I'll never buy a guitar I plan to play often that has a rosewood fretboard again--they collect too much junk and feel like shit. Also, Gibson-style bridge/tailpiece design is shit, but so are most. The damn purist out there wanting "vintage authenticity" are forcing us to constantly use re-hashed, poor designs instead of progressing technologically.

Oh, and hell yes to maple over rosewood boards. It's so porous and fickle, not to mention over-harvested like a muhfukka. (Although I do really like ebony, which is even more ecologically dubious.)

Better is in the eye (& hands & ears) of the beholder.
I have no use for Strats or vibrato tailpieces, so in my hands, hard tailed, non-Stratocaster guitars are superior, while Strats (and worse yet, vibrato-equipped Strats) are pathetic, useless weenie-machines.

Ah yes, I was speaking of my gear journey, but results may vary :). I don't like Gibson bridges because of the knife-edge that leads to more string breakages, the fact that the string usually also hits the back of the bridge between the stop bar and saddle (resulting in another place for the string to hang up and lead to tuning issues), and that the posts can bend under string tension, especially in hollow-bodies and give tuning problems. When I think of shitty bridge design I usually mean in the realm of staying in tune, intonation adjustment options (which the Gibson does well), and string breaks.
The old telecaster bridge is shitty for intonation reasons. Every tremolo system aside from the DOUBLE locking floyd rose is bad for tuning in my opinion if you're doing dive bombs (though they're a pain in the ass!), but I don't mind my strat bridge, which isn't blocked but is tightened to the body and I don't use the tremolo. I have to jack up the saddle height to get reasonable action, but at least it (mostly) stays in tune. What don't you like about blocked tremolos? If I were designing a bridge I'd have something that was a single piece with plenty of string contact and was pre-cut to be intonated properly and then had find adjustment screws similar to the Gibsons. Then that whole block could be moved vertically on the sides, like the stop-bar of a Gibson. Maybe even some anchors to ensure the posts don't bend? I haven't found anything I don't like about my 6-saddle telecaster bridge yet--maybe the saddles are a bit wimpy. But my overall point is someone probably has a great idea for a new bridge design but the companies are too busy making re-issues of their 1950's shit before anyone had the benefit of 60 years of context. Nostalgia...

My strat is also a 91 or 92.
With light strings the nut is ok. There are really easy to find roller nut retro-fit kits for these fenders that include a small plastic piece that fills in the extra space.
I have guitars with all kinds of bridges and wraparound is surprisingly the style I've had the least breakage on.
Strat trem bridges can break strings where they exit the block, usually the A or D depending upon intonation.
Gibson bridges can cause breakage but this can almost always be fixed by raising the stop to lessen the angle and remove any contact on the back of the bridge.
I need a tele so I can "test" that bridge too.

I break strings on any guitar/ I don't play favorites.
but here is where I am at:
feel-wise, I grew up on a LP copy. there really is a lot of stupid stuff involving LP's, BUT, somehow that clusterfuck works great(beholder segment of my post)
tele is a wicked fast little beast. I can't say enough good about it except: classic fender, doesn't stay tuned for shit, and the bridge wastes my hand
both the schecter whammy and the hagstrom hardtail have most excellent hardware, fit and finish beyond Gibson and fender.
the whammy guitar is hard to play on a lot of songs, the strings are like "soft" and I pull the high e off the side of the fretboard all the time. also big attacks on chords are lame. regarding shredding and distorted wailing the whammy guitar is a riot. but all-in-all, I have learned how to flex necks after watching king crimson videos where Adrian belew tries to snap his off and the mother trucker dude just owns his tele ever whicha way but loose.
so I could live without a whammy guitar, well, I am developing a style where it sounds like some Japanese instrument that pulls sharp when th string is plucked heh, and that needs a whammy. also, once set up, whammies are a dream to tune with the micro adjustments by the bridge. and they sit in tune solidly.
string thru , is amazing. I wonder why Gibson didn't try out a string thru LP. I really like that tele and basic string thru hardtail schecters. they sound great and sustain great
lp sounds like shit thru fender 2 tube greta amp, hagstrom and the fender, even with its humbuckers, sounds great. active emg's in whammy are just loud, but actually kind of crappy sounding. I haven't run the emg's thru the tweaker yet. almost seems pointless. the pickup is already electrified, may as well send it thru the pedals/effects and the ss pa system.
edit: oh ya, regarding strats. I have played around with them many times. I just do not like them. and they don't stay in tune for shit either. my hand doesn't like Ibanez neck shape either,like too wide and flat or something
in the future I want to explore esp/prs/carvin and a couple other guitar brands, but no hurry, no real pressing need...

The Korean neck throughs are ridiculous, and can easily be had for under $500. Pop in your magnets of choice and you are fucking rocking.
So my friend scored this. Neither of us could figure out why it was on the rack for $550. Def. not a fake. I'm guessing it's maybe from the 80s, it's got some real playing time wear to it, especially the back of the neck.

Korean built is a bonus in my opinion. The quality is up there with Japan and USA and is better than USA in quite a few cases.
It's just a shame that companies that make guitars in both places make sure to spec their Korean guitars with lower quality wood, 3 piece bodies, and sometimes shit pickups and hardware.
GFS pickups are only $35 and they sound great. Gibson must be paying $2 a piece for the horrible pickups they put in Epiphone guitars.

That SG looks like a Faded series, so 550 is about market value if that's the case
I had a Telecaster that stayed in tune for YEARS
The Korean Epiphones (among others) are very good IMO. More recent Chinese ones, not so much. YMMV

hey M&B, was your tele special. like hi end or special tuners? I have to tune mine every time I play and anything off the GC wall is always out of tune. back at work, our little xmas party band, the strat dude had the same problem. ask Damien how his strat stayed in tune the whole maybe month he had it.
I know generalizing is weak and almost always wrong, I should have said "from what I have seen"
ok, I will check out bc rich too. in fact I do want to check out a whammy mockingbird. someone suggested that when I said I wish I had a good whammy LP sort of guitar. completely forgot about that. or maybe just go for neil young's rig heh.

I'm pretty dang old certain it isn't a faded. Not out of the realm of possibility but up close, the thing really has some age to it. Oh hey...guess I could check the serial.

Yeah, that could be a SG Special. Just about the same thing as a faded, but with a hit of laquer.

An out of the blue NGD here. I can't say what I paid for this weird Vox SG type thingee (in case I want to sell it here someday), but it wasn't much. Especially for what a serious rock machine this thing is.

So, i got this here p90 "tele custom."
I have to order parts now :-(
Luckily, the neck is damn near unfinished, so that isn't an issue. It's got p90s, dont know the route, anyone got a source for replacement pickguards for these four control teles? Black on creme looks good, but I think I want something different.
Also, maybe some replacement p90s?

It's cast steel and it's in those pics.
I need a modern piece of hardware to get the 14 mounted. Probably move the 16 to the left.

Fender sells them. But what would look really good would be a brown one on cream. Likely would need to make one though. And as long as you were doing that, I might be inclined to do the tooled leather one. And then for something I can't imagine I hadn't seen before, but I'm unsure if the size would work for one of them customs:

If the funds are there, I'd recommend the Lollar P-90's. Pretty damn kick ass.

Fuck it, I'm going to order some copper, cut the fucker out myself using the other as a template, then acid etch something into it.
or I'll just copper the existing pickguard, and etch it...

I do have leather. I probably won't be able to tool it up to my standard, though. Pickguard is fucking huge. At least with acid I can pick and replicate a proper design.

See, the thing I like about Moog is that there is usually a knob on the panel that controls something. You don't have to dive for a parameter change. If you guys can figure out a daw then you'd be able to figure out some damn knobs.
The above controller is actually pretty damn simple. That's why I got it. It's 16 step sequencer. 16 pads and 16 correlating knobs. Each pad is a note when you start it. Be it 1/4 notes through to 1/32 notes. Each knobs oes to the assigned pad. It's an encoder that you can change pitch with. You can adjust the pitch changes from chromatic scale, dorian, minor, major, blues, myx, harmonic minor or one of your choice. you can change the length of the sequence, add rests and such. you're not stuck with the 16 steps so can in effect change time signatures. The big knob is transpose and tempo. it also acts as a controller for software synth but I don't really do software stuff. Pretty much just hardware.
It's a lot of fun.

My weekend so I have time to jam on it. Talk about clean oscillators. super big fat bass. All the hip hop prod. dudes have these an lust for them if they don't. Slike a minimoog. I will have that Sub 37 in the fall when they come out but unitl then this thing is bad to the bone. Got it through the Beatstep currently and playing drums to it.

Enjoying it as we speak. I will explore the midi side of things tomorrow. Right now I'm just playing it through my Studio Electronics SE-1 which is basically a Mini Moog. Sweet rich decaying delays with sample and fucking hold? jeebus. Worth the dough. It's more of an instrument than just a delay pedal really.

Upward facing one for the player to hear, sideways ones for everyone else to hear, means no beam of death for anyone in front of the cab whilst the player hears no treble. Basically the peak of guitar cab design, but guitarists hear with their eyes, and only want marshall stacks, even though those are bass rigs. Speakers are V30s with custom impedance.

I wonder what the weight of each 312 is? they are really cool! with a full stack I am sure the guitarist will hear his stack? I plan to get two 212s and stack them, they are horizontal so maybe taller and closer to my ears and I hope to hear them ok, maybe I will need to use my amp stand with customizable angle to aim at my ears at practice, planning to get these two cabs that this guy owns:

Pair of 2x12 vertical so all the speakers in a line is kind of ideal, if you use a narrow head, it doesn't look too wrong either. I was gonna get some BFM XF2x12s but these came up instead. 3x12s are MDF so pretty heavy.

Some companies make slant 2x12s. Or you dial in your tone with your face in the speakers and then stay conscious of the fact that it's not as dark as it sounds when you are standing up. Could also build a stand so your rig is higher.

Found a dude selling a Strat Ultra for cheap on the NC craigslist. After exchanging e-mails with him for about a month (and searching for other strat ultras every day since) I finally got him to list it up on Reverb.com and I snatched that motherfucker up quick. In all my searching of the internet I could find 2 or 3 strat ultras and they were all over $1600 and had non-original parts. The guy was super nice, it just took him awhile because he was busy with other stuff. I'm glad it all worked out. I'll post pictures once I get it in my hands and cleaned up.

so i'm getting CL shopping dialed in. most people will drop it off for an extra $50 haha.
for example, a behringer 2440 4buss mixer is showing up whenever the dude brings it. he only wanted $100. still a steal for $150.
i'm also getting the used gear from GC dialed in. they will bring the stuff into the store and expedite it. I would have to pay packing and shipping regardless on used. only additional cost is the local sales tax but they chase it the whole way.
so I am on the wait for amps from gc. meanwhile I snagged a nice little schecter string thru with emg;s and cool bat inlays for 2 bills. schecter is way underrated. this thing played so nice thru a big fender master gain combo. It even had a strap. haha. I already bought a small pile of straps from the local place. I got sick of not having one on every guitar I might possibly play.
i'm a drum tard, but I know the name ludwig

I'm digging it a lot, loud and punchy as hell. I used to have a 6 ply birch Masters series and this thing easily competes or beats it. The only thing missing was the front kick hoop, and I should probably put on a real head before I bust that original reso the previous owner put on there, but good 24" are damn near 50 bucks now.

Perhaps that's a bit of an exaggeration? Masters are more subtle, for sure.

My newest toy, a bargain at £30. I have been having great fun getting drunk, plugging my strat in and then pretending I'm Robin Trower ;D
Had fancied having a flanger since I was about 16, only took me 14 years to buy one.

Mmm... I had a pearl fiberglass concert tom kit in the 80's, and a Premier Artist series Birch about 10 yrs ago. The pearls were very bright, very loud! No subtlety at all.
The Premiers were also very bright, but if they were less loud, more subtle, it may have been more the fact that they were double headed, and I used coated heads on them, rather than the clear heads I used on the Pearls. I do recall being impressed with how articulate the Pearls were.

Not really. They are both aggressive sounding kits with quite similar tone.
Oh, yeah, on the twin ACC's - the 450/2x15 stage left is mine, the 470/406 2x15 stage right is my bass players. We both had these rigs before we ever met, well actually, he was going to buy the 2x15 I got, but he blew speakers so he deferred to me. Now we have the best bass rigs in the county standing side by side, he runs them in stereo when we jam. Fucking monstrous.

rager, I scored this for $100. behringer wtf2442. I went and picked it up after all since GC was almost directly on the way. lots of stereo channels for synths and plenty of mic guit inputs too. this should have been a bit more, but the new ones are only like $3-400 or so anyway.
(http://medias.audiofanzine.com/images/thumbs3/behringer-eurorack-ub2442fx-pro-300291.jpg)
finally scored a 2 ohm amp. QSC rmx850. these are nice. it was $150 from GC. I went in with $180 and lied that all I had was this 180, so if you want to do extrended war, ok, you can have it all. so he did it. so it was $180 out the door with 1 year extended warranty against anything heh. it would have been about $162 or so with tax, so yeah. that was worth it.

some day I will learn about drums thoroughly. too much on my plate right now. I have helped set up and move drums plenty, and had a POS set for my son in the day, but all the subtle stuff no. I would probably need to actually play on a set to really "get" it.
some day for sure. I don't want to miss out on that experience before I eat it for good.
if it doesn't rain, i'll test that amp out outside. punish the hood with some synth insanity. but someone made a good point: don't show off 10 grand worth of gear publicly at your house. not that I have 10grand of stuff, but I have enough to catch some slimebag's attention if I get too opulent.
GC advertised the roland aira series but have no stock..tards. may have to phone sweetwater. I need to get a 12 step midi foot controller from them real soon anyway. key part to 1 man audio tapestry will be foot control of synths plus build my multi-latching sustain pedal. then I can start a pad and latch the sustain manually while I play busier stuff on the foot board and the keyboard. with MIDI mapping and keyboard splits and scaling I should be able to run 4 synths in real time with 4 or more additional modules chained via midi from each primary module.
edit: I would like to get a schecter "schele". someone linked a pic of a green one once. I have wanted it ever since I saw that. I kind of wanted a hardtail with emg's too. I almost bought a zakky bullseye epi lp. it played great and had emg's, but meh. ya I really like these schecters. have 3 of them now.

Grabbed on ebay as spares or repair, blowing fuses randomly on turn on. Replaced the fast blow fuse with the slow blow it should have, plus couple of new preamp valves, seems fine now.

I couldn't capture the flame in the top, but here's the Strat Ultra. Lace Sensors are definitely different but I really dig them so far. The switching on this guitar is awesome. The third position is not the middle pickup, it's the neck/bridge combo like a telecaster. Additionally there's a 3-way mini toggle switch for the bridge pickup such that you can choose the front coil, both (wired in phase, unlike a humbucker) or the rear coil. Technically the bridge pickup is not a humbucker, but two single-coils wired in series. The guitar is dead-quiet and versatile as hell. I'm not a huge fan of the color but it's growing on me.

In the interest of full disclosure, it's an ebony board :). Not as dark and smooth as other ebony boards I've played with in the past (insert jokes here), but it's nice. Another cool cosmetic feature is the saddles, nut and tuners are all chromed. The only issues with it are pretty significant fret wear under the three bottom strings and one ding on the body. Not too bad for something 23 years old and priced at any used American standard.

You're going to love that Ultra. I've had my Deluxe Plus for over 20 years and it's still playing great.
I think I posted this before but when you get a chance pull the pickguard and see if it's got that swimming pool route in the body. If it does and if you get bored of those single coils you can grab a dual humbucker pickguard off of eBay and load it up with two PAFs or a humbucker sized P90 in the neck or whatever and it's a 15 minute swap the next time you change strings. Or even quicker if you install a 3-way connector for the output and ground wire.
Actually I might do this myself again soon.

ps monobrow is pro as fuck. I have been a fan of them since I made a thread waaaay back in sr com land that he posted his songs in. those guys all have such nice touch, and to have them all together in a band no less. fuckers should be on the radio I swear.
edit: BTW, GC here has 3-fer-1 on cables for father's day weekend. so I grabbed a mic cable and 2 nice long molded guitar cables for $16. they let me mix the 2 types for the deal. so if you need to restock...not bad.

Found a red North kit with two bass drums. They're slightly different color and thickness, but I was able to get them to sound pretty much the same. First time I've ever had double bass drums instead of double bass pedal. It's pretty awesome. Will be selling my black North kit pictured elsewhere. If I can't sell it, I might combine the two kits for an alternating red and black kit.

Yep good eye. Nailed in on Ebay for super cheap, with case.
Excellent. They're a bit more difficult to obtain around here. That's why I got myself a 14x5.5" Japanese alternative:

How do you like that Anode? Is it easy to use? Versatile? Any complaints, or anything it does especially well?

First off the Anode is cheap but you probably know that. It's nothing super special but put it through some effects and it gets better. Layer it with another synth and better yet. It took me a bit to find where it sits in the mix. So if you want a super cheap synth buy one and a cheap controller and run it through a delay and phase and got a cheap and cool monosynth.

There's an Acoustic 150 rig just like you pictured in a store here for $600. Great score!
I just got a used SWR Bass 350 chrome face for about $300 at Guitar Center.
So far so good.
Have 28 more days to try it out and see if I want to keep it.
Have been needing a rackmount backup bass amp that I wouldn't mind gigging with if I had to, but also within the specific power handling of two different cabs.

I was bumming one of those 350s from a buddy for a while there and I absolutely loved the thing. Sounded awesome with my Warwick and was super versatile. I was playing in a thrash band and a post-rock band with it at the time and it was just great.

I picked this guy up recently when I needed my V4 for guitar duties elsewhere and I absolutely fucking love it. It SLAYS.
(http://i.imgur.com/KUn1baX.jpg?1)
I also used some leftovers from my retro gaming collection/addiction to make this groovy case for it. It gets lots of love when I take it out to gigs. I still can't get over how lightweight and easy to carry it is... People hate solid state amps, but this thing is just perfect for me and what I want to do with it. I get lots of great comments on the tone I'm getting from it and I actually managed to get a pretty similar tone to the V4, so I'm very content with the purchase.

Bought a Harley Benton Ultimate Drive aka OCD clone for 20 bucks and tested it out at rehearsal this afternoon. Doesn't really fit in with the rest of my gear. Never thought I would call a pedal too abrasive to use with the rest of my fuzzes. Back to my DOD250 I guess.

So far so good on the SWR 350.
Noticed that pushing the 4x10 there were spots in the venue where the bass dropped out (walking around wireless heh)
But played same place with it pushing my 2x15 and did not have the same problem.
Problem solved \m/,

Had my Ocean of Stars bassist use the SWR in rehearsal last night (let her use my rig)
Still not my SVT, but had to have her turn *down* a few times as it was a little TOO crushingly loud.
Pleased with it.
SVT currently in the shop awaiting new tubes and getting a checkup.

I finally picked up a new amp this weekend.
(http://i.imgur.com/pMeL1IN.jpg)
I'm so happy with it. It sounds just right for everything I want to do with it. I wasn't so sure I'd keep it around since it's 30w and I've heard mixed reviews about the level of compression, but it's exactly what I want to sound like and I think this one is a keeper. Got it for a killer deal after waiting patiently for the ol' Guitar Center to drop the price since it's used.

Good looking out. I'll MSG you.
Let me tell you about that SBG you sold me. It's been on very high rotation, it's sitting 4' from me right now and would be even closer to the sofa if I hadn't been playing my SG lately because it's in a different tuning. That Yamaha is a beast, and a player, worn in, in all the right ways. Sounds killer.

Well I didn't buy it the first time I saw it up for sale and then for the next year when I was on CL or eBay I'd be looking around for tobacco burst double cuts until it came up for sale again.
Anyway just letting everyone know it's being played often. Just plugged it through a treble boost yesterday and blasted out a bunch of Sabbath tunes. Some guy named "Orange Goblin" on the guitar backing tracks website has been uploading a bunch of great sabbath backing tracks.

Yeah that's the site. I'll post some links of a few favorites I've chugged along to recenty but first a few pro tips about that site.
1. Use an ad blocker because that site is wall to wall banners.
2. Look for the link below the player that allows you to download the tracks as MP3s. I sometimes play a guitar tuned to C# and sometimes one tuned to B. I like to download the funnest tracks and play them in a player that has pitch shift settings so I can tune the backing track down a step or step and a half.

1. Use an ad blocker because that site is wall to wall banners.
2. Look for the link below the player that allows you to download the tracks as MP3s. I sometimes play a guitar tuned to C# and sometimes one tuned to B. I like to download the funnest tracks and play them in a player that has pitch shift settings so I can tune the backing track down a step or step and a half. Shifting the tracks down different amounts is way quicker than re-tuning the guitar.

Scored an Earth Sound Research 2x15 cab for $25 today off Craigslist. Cost me about that much in gas too, driving there and back. My bass player is stoked! Needs new speakers but is in great condition overall for being 70s. Original list price was $75. Smooth talker, me.

There's absolutely no writing on it whatsoever. Each switch is just high-off-low. Each switch corresponds with a knob for the oscillator. The top two knobs are volume and kind of a VCF/cutoff/resonance thingey.

Great, wide enough to feel right in my hand, thin enough front to back to be reasonably fast. Plus, it's 25.5" scale, which I love.

the neck is the best part about my st-50. it just fits my hands really well. I think i paid 280 for mine, from ebay. Mine has some extra switches on it for coil and phase splitting, but yours is in better shape. Don't be surprised if it becomes your favorite guitar.

Actually, I'm not interested in getting an expression pedal, I bought it because:
- It features a shape knob just like my EHX Pulsar tremolo, it's not easy to find a tremolo with that parameter.
- It sounds better than the Pulsar, specially with the lower frequencies.
- It's not terribly expensive compared to other pedals on the market.
- It's analog and true bypass, which is perfect for me because my fuzz pedals can be very picky.

(I watched the demos, fuckin a)
hey, after I get a few more maybe we could swap a pedal for a week to demo it before purchasing one or to write it off.
what I get will have to help my synths out too.
I still want to get my delay pedal(s) first, but goddamn, it sure wouldn't be hard to get derailed.

yeah sort of. The girl that rents my old house works there and sets up a spot in the local Sunday hipster flea market at one of the venues here. Normally they have plastic buckles, and I wanted the metal ones. I also got the tabs to be super thick leather so they didn't wallow out as easily.
So I guess it was custom made by this place.

i'm a Guitar Center stu. I use super slinky's and .96 tortex or more preferably, .96gator grips. how boring heh. but whatever that plastic is, it is easier to hang onto.
I like those gator grips when they wear down into almost a billy gibbons peso and any side is the same as any other side. my son always laughs about my precious "broken in" picks because I have a couple sealed bags of new ones as backup. little fucking purple picks are everywhere around here.
speaking of GC, they sent me some 15% off anything $300 or over coupon. that is a nice discount on something like a synth that is priced tight with everyone else. not so much on some dartboard price $5grand custom shop guitar. maybe mini brute SE. maybe big ole fender 65 reverb combo, maybe a really awesome pedal,
OR maybe a taylor 314ce.....

josh's words...
"Member of the Peanut Gallery:
Some journalists & citizens on the internet & are wondering: Q? Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other "acceptable" curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? A= Nope. My gay family & friends, as well as myself, KNOW I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice; one's skin color doesn't determine one's intelligence level; & red hair doesn't mean you're someone's stepchild. You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! By that logic... I also told that young whipper snapper I'd have anal sex with him... how can I possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? I called him a pussy too. Does it mean I hate our one worlds' collective vagina? I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That's your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I'm in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake... You say, "So. Your band name doesn't prove anything." Maybe not. But it's a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog... (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian & canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hick's once suggested: – forgive me-. Or don't. I'm not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you'll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us... Because you're so above it all. Or If you'll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your PC lingo:
Will you please go have, consensual, sex with yourself.
Pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.

Am I a homophobe because I included a slang for gay in with other "acceptable" curse words during a verbal lashing I gave a young concertgoer, after being hit by his shoe, during a show the other day? A= Nope. My gay family & friends, as well as myself, KNOW I am not a homophobe. For years now I've known gay is not a choice; one's skin color doesn't determine one's intelligence level; & red hair doesn't mean you're someone's stepchild. You see, it's not the words, it's their intent. I never said, nor suggested, that being gay is wrong, but apparently, based on your outrage to my flu-infused rant, you do! By that logic... I also told that young whipper snapper I'd have anal sex with him... how can I possibly reconcile these opposing viewpoints? I called him a pussy too. Does it mean I hate our one worlds' collective vagina? I never have been nor intend to be politically correct. That's your cross to bear. To me, that PC world would suck more shit than the porta-potty truck at Glastonbury. Homophobic? I'm in Queens of the Stone Age for crissake... You say, "So. Your band name doesn't prove anything." Maybe not. But it's a helluv a lot more definitive than the logic of some watchdog... (sorry canine-American, canine-European, canine-African, canine-Australian & canine-Asian) moralist, keeping score from pure perfectionville? If your glass house is squeegeed that clean & you need to do something, do what the great philosopher Bill Hick's once suggested: – forgive me-. Or don't. I'm not asking for either, OK? I think you should let both of your cheeks go loose so the stick will drop out. Either way I expect that you'll soon find another injustice from your chair, then roll to your bullhorn & point it out to the rest of us... Because you're so above it all. Or If you'll allow me to translate a wish of mine into your PC lingo:
Will you please go have, consensual, sex with yourself.
Pretty please with all natural, carbon offset sugar on top.
Sincerely,
Mr. Missundastood

i don't think he's a homophobe but a sincerely confused dude that chose electric solid-body guitars made by an acoustic guitar company.
he shoulda' played a les paul like everyone else.

Trimpots. Not too old.
Looks pretty sweet though. Do you recall that old (probably older than RacerX) Harmony H303 amp I modified to be a power amp distortion unit in front of a brute force solid state Stewart World 1.2 power amp? This likely was made to do that sort of thing. Nice score.

An update to The Outlaw:
This is from the D*A*M forums. The Outlaw was made by Richard Mintz at All Test Devices:
"Yes, I made this unit! It replaced a section of the preamp stage on Fender tube amps, etc. It came with an interconnect cable and socket adapter that fit into the amp tube socket. The tube inside the unit replaces the amp tube. I made these for Outlaw Electronics, who ultimately could not pay for the production units! I think I made about 250 pieces. I sold them all, but, didn't want to make anymore, as I was busy with other projects that were more profitable and technically interesting for me. I still have one, someplace in my storage."
"Now I remember more..............the Outlaw was actually an additional preamp channel. The adaptor cable connected to the driver tube in the amplifier preamp section. It was supposed to be like a "hot" channel. It could also be used stand-alone, but, I don't remember it being "unforgettable." I'll have to find my sample and fire it up."

I was itching to try/buy the Superego about a month ago and tracked one down and spent some time with it and decided against it. It was a really cool effect and I loved the weird coldness to the drones it created, but it's kindof unwieldy and I can't imagine it being something I used more than fucking around in my room. I was feeling it and then I wasn't - steep dropoff of getting bored by what it did.

$50 each Craigslist. Guy said his friend's electrician dad built them 10 years ago. Eminence speakers. Got an email back from Eminence based on the sticker code-
"That is indeed a blast from the past we made for many years starting in 1985 for a company called Oxford. It has a 56 ounce magnet, and a 2" voice coil with a 0.500" winding length. It's best when used in a vented enclosure and thermally speaking the speaker should be able to withstand about 200W continuous....however, it has a fairly small linear Xmax of 1.6mm, therefore it likely has mechanical limitations at low frequencies, for example 60Hz and below, and would thus have a greatly reduced power handling at this frequency range."
Probably not the best speakers for using an octave down pedal with an F# baritone at full volume but I think I did pretty well for $100. Sounded good at practice yesterday. If I replace them it will be with the loudest baddest 15s I can get. 'Lack Bbati' is covering up the Kitty sticker that was hard to remove :D

My Carvin PB4 arrived at lunch today. Got it with vintage sized stainless steel frets and setup for BEAD tuning. Played great right out of the box, Carvin's factory setups are great. I may still swap out the strings and pickup, since I'm kind of particular about those two things with my P basses, but it sounds pretty nice stock.

Picked one up used today. Poly mod does not track perfectly but better than OC-2 mono mod. Either way even two note power chords sound too huge and in fact pretty messy on low strings as they do on the lower strings of basses, especially into a distortion pedal. No surprise. Drive mode sounds okay. Oct 2 is nuts, like electronic music sub bass sounding even on higher guitar strings. I may use this unit to transform my baritone into a bass for recording single notes if I don't get an extra long scale bass and tune it in F#. Better poly tracking would be nice but low string chords would still sound too messy to my ears. If anyone ever makes an affordable unit that will pick out the root note of a chord and just octave down that I'll buy it.

Aside from the weird tracking on chords the OC-3 is pretty clean. My issue is that it can't give me only the root note an octave down. I knew this before buying but wanted to fool with one of these just to see how it would behave. For one note at a time it's okay.
edit: One thing however is that you can dial in just a little of the octave to add some thunder without overwhelming your rig although turning up the bass without an octave pedal would sound kind of similar.

Eh, man, i really think you are over thinking it. Two pedal chains, ABY between. A To guitar side with pedals, B to bass side with pitchfork on permanently, kick in and out. I've used a similar setup and it literally sounds like a bass and guitar. Just eq properly.

Yes I am using two pedal chains with an ABY switch into a guitar rig and a bass rig. The OC-3 makes power chords sound like power chords on a bass but since my baritone is tuned down to F# it's a lot more messy than it would be in E or even B. Haven't even cranked it to band practice level volume yet. I don't really need an octave pedal with this setup but I wanted to give it a go. Just the root would be awesome. I'll mess with frequencies and the octave level more though.
Thicker strings would probably help some with clarity but that isn't happening.

Honestly, that boss is a shit tier octave pedal for this application. It doesn't track well enough with standard tunings. You really need to try something that isn't glitchy and shitty. As I've said, done what you're doing for a long, long time with an EHX POG (first gen) and it sounds dead on. I can only imagine with the technology now.

Can confirm, was a waste of my fucking time as well. Same goes for my Whammy - works as intended about 40% of the time, the rest of the time it's a garbly-warbly glitchy mess that doesn't sound good after any amount of tweaking. Seriously considering the Pitchfork because it seems like a reasonable HOG without the pain-in-the-ass setup process. The OC-3 is fun, but just does not do what I hope it will.

Dude! Seriously, the pitchfork is doing what you want. I been doing it for years with a POG
These units can pick out just the root note of a chord and transpose it an octave down?
I want the same thing, that's why I'm going to build a "Local H" style guitar with a bass pickup on two strings so that only the roots will go through the octave pedal.

An affordable octave pedal that could pick out root notes would sell like crazy. I've heard about some expensive units and perhaps some of them can do this but I'm not spending $300+

hey spook. maybe you want to think about sunno's tip: punch out the upper 4 poles on a shit pickup that you can install with no mods except wire the 2 pups separately. then if you change your mind and want to go back or try something else, you aren't too screwed. also could be cheaper as in free

Drat! I've got 2 futons..
Just had practice and the baritone is sounding really good through the bass side even without an octave pedal. The next step is higher wattage handling bigger Xmax speakers so I can go up to 800 watts and dial in more low end. Excited!

MOAR POWAH!!!! BOOYAH!!!
edit: malekko delay has some insane noises. you can make funny sounds just by cranking the delay rate knob. mixing sharp delay cutoff with huge modulation almost sounds like talking. crazy shit. this thing is far more out of control than I originally thought. heh. I see why rager wants to keep his. it is a special pedal. it's a keeper.

Lexicon MPX500. this was one badass reverb. it used the high end lexicon chip. I about shit when I saw it used for $150. it also has spd/if I/O to skip a couple conversions and that additive distortion. it has MIDI control so I can control it from my foot controllers
BUT most importantly of all, it has a studio grade lexicon reverb chip.
$600 studio rack reverb when it came out. it even has tap tempo. now that's badass for rack shit. programmable, memory locations, dual mono-or stereo modes and on and on.
(http://medias.audiofanzine.com/images/thumbs3/lexicon-mpx-500-311835.jpg)
edit: it took a couple minutes to figure out the basic functions and parameter tweaks. I never owned a good quality effect unit like this before. all I have to say is WOW!
so creamy and clean and every reverb imaginable. just wow. I have my synth on a plain piano patch playing the demo on repeat so I can tweak the effects. this sounds unreal.
the tremolo is amazing too.
they have 4 dedicated tweak knobs so you can just hit the mix, the cutoff freq and regen time in a couple seconds and no menus, just spin the encoders.
new patches load silently and blend in so you cant even tell when the patch switches = excellent for performance.
this might be the best piece of gear I own. quiet as all getout too.

I loaded my studio with 3 lexicon mpx500's. now I have something to send to from the big mixer, and I can set up mics and instruments differently and not jumble the whole mix through one effect which =jumbled ass.

About a month ago I caught wind from one of the vendors from work told me that a buddy of his had a GnL bass (he wasn't sure what model) in a guitar shop on consignment somewhere in BFE Tennessee.
Well I had nothing to do that Saturday so I took a trip to the guitar shop to check it out. When I got there I found out that it was a GnL SB2 (my favorite bass) with a maple fingerboard (my favorite fingerboard) It's an 89 or 90 and is damn near perfect. The guy even has all of the original paperwork and hanger tag in the case. And he wanted right around $550 for it.
I told him that I would be back within a few weeks. Well today I made it out there and picked it up.

I'll take the thing in for a set up within the next few weeks. The thing hasn't been touched in a while and the strings have a bit of rust on them.
I'd like to get a different black PG for it. The one that came with it is a weird dullish metal that I'm not in love with.

There's a guitar shop in the Fondren district that's pretty cool. They cater to kids (literally kids - school of rock shit) and aren't really heavy oriented. The effects they do have stay forever, which leads to good prices. Found out about the Maxon from this blog post:

55hz have a growl that just sounds mean spirited. Agreed, both together give a great balance.
Soldano? Sol dan NO. That thing with Soldano Cab w V30s is the most 3d amp Ive ever played. Its a keeper...for now.

I spent the weekend helping a friend pack up for a move to San Diego and while going through his closet he stumbled upon a Mexican strat he'd forgot he even owned. It was in pretty bad shape and he said he probably hadn't even taken it out of the case any time in the last 10 years. It's that sweet Lake Placid Blue color, and he gave it to me for helping him all weekend. I've wanted a strat for some time now and this one's got some sentimental value to it, I couldn't be more excited to put some love and work into it and get it back into playable shape. Here it is after lots of fretboard conditioning, cleanup and a new set of strings.

I'm going to change out the tuning machines, nut and pickguard, and I'd like to put a humbucker in the bridge position. Anybody have any ideas what I could do to make this thing really kick ass? I don't know much about strats, letalone the bad things about Mexican strats outside of the tuning machines and nut.

Nice dude, I've been wanting one of those Avenger 100 heads and a V30 loaded cab most of this year. I need to sell something or pick up some more recording jobs though, ever since the wife took off work to be home with our baby the gear fund is full of cobwebs and dust.

Take your time with it and only change one thing at time. The tuners and nut, yeah go for it, but I'd hold off on pickups and different pots, instead sending it through your effects/amp gauntlet a good amount first.
Also, Spokstrickland posted a link somewhere to a dud that had a tried and true method for "tuning" the tremolo spring tension so that it works well without sending the strings out of tune. I'll see if I can find it. It was really cool and added a dimension to a strat.

Thanks a lot, man. I will definitely take my time. It came to me at a time when I've been spending a lot more effort and energy getting to know DAWs and whatnot, so I'm not actively playing in a band or chomping at the bit to get this thing running and slamming at practice. The spring setup info would be SUPER helpful, because I honestly have no idea what the hell to do with a strat's springs/trem in any real way.

I usually first unscrew the pickguard and take a peek at the body. Most of them are routed for S-S-H, some are routed S-S-S, a rare few are routed H-S-H or "swimming pool". Unless you want to do some woodwork the body rout kind of limits what you can do with pickup swaps.
I have one Strat with single coils right now but normally I go two humbuckers or single humbucker. I think my next swap I might try P90 neck and humbucker bridge with an out of phase middle position.
As far as the trem, if you are used to fixed bridges and being able to drop tune I would just load it up with 5 springs and keep the trem slammed against the body. You can even jam a block of wood behind the trem block if you want to totally lock it off.

Thanks for the input. I haven't had time to fuck around with it just yet to see what it looks like under the pickguard, but I'm guessing it's swimming pool based on the year and the model. If it's not that's fine, I'll just toss some of the GFS active singles in there and let it do what a SSS strat does. In that case I'll definitely leave the trem and have some fun with that, but ideally I'd like to make it HSS and maybe block the trem. I don't know, I feel like I'd miss it if I threw 5 springs in and locked it down since I've already got a fixed bridge superstrat set up for B.
Pissy, I saw that thread (and Spook's comments about the fracture in the Strat - yikes) and I appreciate you linking me. I'm going to talk about it all with my tech when I visit him next weekend.

Yeah trems are fun but can be a bitch. Of the two guitars I have now with trems one of them works and stays in tune but that guitar is in standard tuning, the other guitar is in drop tuning so I just locked off the trem and don't worry about trying to fight with it.

springs. the first guitars I had almost were the Ibanez twins and their whammy spring silliness. I ended up putting 2 springs by the low end and one 2nd over from the top to keep it from pulling the high strings too sharp all the time. plus if you keep tightening, eventually the whole fucking trem piece lifts up = too weak of springs. I also learned that they relax over time, so I ended up buying a whole new set of springs. between new and old springs I got those fuckers perfect, but it will never last heh. fuckin whammies...

here is a 1 minute demo of a random trance thing i am working on which is not why i linked this. I linked it to show how nice that lexicon reverb and focusrite A/D sound(i posted pictures of the scarlett 2x4 and the lexicon mpx500 above somewhere) the fadeout of the reverb at the end is awesome.
It's just a patch on korg that i souped up the arp a little on it to help me play it live with complexity, this is just 1 practice track live. but the reverb yummy.

1.) I wanted to try something Akai which I have none of. 2.) There was much anticipation for an cheap analog drum synth of this ilk. 3.) I also wanted something very simple with tactile controls and virtually no menu diving. 4.) It's priced at $199 but I worked a deal with dude and got it for $169. it was supposed to be a display model from another store but he neglected to tell me it was without the box, manual, and power supply so I declined it and waited for a new in box unit. I had already paid so.... $169 it was. 5.) It seems to be built really solid.
Here is a scathing review of the thing which did not deter me.
http://createdigitalmusic.com/2014/11/akai-rhythm-wolf-review-analog-doesnt-always-mean-better/
Like I said, I am not deterred. It is what it is. It's under 200 bux. It's not a Vermona or a MFB or an Elektron. And it's built way more solid than the Korg stuff. By itself it seems a bit wimpy. But like a lot of gear it will come alive when run through the right filters/effects. I don't really care for the 808 sounds so much. It's not my thing. I like either minimal or ambient percussion and sometimes just mangled crushed stuff. So even if I had something that did the 808 stuff it would get lost in my translation. So this will work just fine. Eventually I will own a Vermona Drm 1 mkIII............because. ;)

I usually just put on a pair of over ear headphones with good isolation, then move it around until it sounds good. Where the dust cap meets the cone, about an inch off the grill is usually pretty good.

nice. patch #2, the legato, is the one I like for trancy lazy stuff. <-it holds the note until you step on a different note. then it replaces and holds the next one. I like that.
i'm still a bit pissed they get $40 for that adapter box which you know has a tiny pcb with like 1 chip on it.
*lexicon has cash rebates on some rack effects. mx 400 will get ordered onGAS black Friday for $300 and send for $75 cash rebate. 4 channel reverb, <$60 a channel booyah! this will give me 6 channels of reverb once again. I can not say enough how slick using the aux sends and returns for adding effects is from a mixer. you can blend in 3 different sets of effects with this Mackie( 3 stereo/6 mono, but only 4 monos to any single channel at once)
fuck me. sweetwater has the mooger 104 for like $610 or something sick. moog is actually running a factory authorized sale right now. get one of those sub37's for 12something

Careful with the S&H from Moog. I looked into their gig bag for the 37 and a $79 gig bag turned into a $140 at my door. Didn;t do it though. I think I'll make a phone call and tout my 37 serial number. Maybe they'll give me a break.

I happened to notice that all the moog dealers have it on sale. that usually only happens if the factory issues a proclamation heh. i'd get it from sweetwater anyway. they are close and are really service oriented. like they would preload the latest software in any decent synth, even like the novas.
I also am wondering about that "NOS" 800ms bucket brigade chip that moog happens to find more of at just the right time. those 104's were up to $899 for a while. NOW they have it in that little vertical rackmount package, which is new, but it has the 800msec bucket brigade chip in it.
so I cant help wondering if some chip fab is making those chips again and moog is making some silly money on all those delays now. I believe they have 3 products with the 800msec chip in it. so hmmm...

How the fuck would you find a replacement head for these drums? Somebody posted about them on a North Drums Facebook page. They're from a company called Trixon, who made all kinds of weirdly shaped drums.

Did a little bit of Black Friday shopping and finally got some real monitors and a real interface. I picked up a pair of JBL 305s, a used Steinberg UR22 interface, an Arturia Microbrute and the necessary hookemups for all of it. An old bandmate/bass teacher turned out to be the store manager at the Guitar Mart I went into while visiting my parents looking for monitor deals, blew the whole deal out for me for a really significant price cut and sales tax is half in Michigan what it is in Chicago. Six hundred bucks later, Pinocchio feels like a real boy.

awww. I cried for a minute..then I went back to my new toys muahaha
lexicon mx400 showed up. I ended up getting it from GC online for $275 and I still get the $75 factory rebate so this dual reverb will end up $200. 3 different length reverbs all at once is huge. I mean HUGE (#3 is the MPX500 I already had)
(http://media.soundonsound.com/sos/nov06/images/lexiconmx400header_l.jpg)
timing is everything. they marked these down to $79 while I was there at the store. I scored. this is amazing for <$100 simply amazing.
Ibanez gd10nt or something like that
(http://images.miretail.com/products/full/Ibanez/634866461371506604.jpg)
so I learned that cutaways don't sound as good as full bodied guitars. I also found that dreadnaughts are more boomy and less resolution than auditorium shapes
so.......taylor 114e wnet home with me too.. heh

Hamer Sunburst archtop, one of the good (90's) Korean models. Looks like this one, only with black pickups and rings:
(http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4145/5207037933_13449cfa7c_b.jpg)
The build quality seems like it's on par with the better Epiphones. It's missing the switch tip, tuneomatic and tailpiece, but I've got some nice parts from a project guitar. Still, $140 was perfectly acceptable.
I think I have to dress it up like the one in the pic, with cream rings and a pair of old Dimarzios.

Mine was made in 2000, and its a bit different, but I'll assume the techniques used are same/similar. P/O told me the body and neck are 1/4 sawn Brazilian and African mahoghany, and the fretboard is Pau Ferro. It has a great feeling neck, a bit round up at the top and flattens and slightly widens as you go down. KILLER little guitar.

Liking this a lot for the bass side of my baritone rig but I tried running the DI into my PA and the tone was of course completely different. We will mostly be playing little venues where guitar and bass signals are rarely put into the PA system but I'm wondering what percentage of places with sound people and full systems are willing to mic bass cabs and have proper mics to do so.

Not mine, but I took delivery of this KT88-fueled apocalypse machine when a friend was out of town. Believe the hype, these are the real deal. I want one so badly now.

I've been wanting a Dwarvenaut 20 for so long. Some day I'll give in.

Worked a little on the Hamer. I found a Nashville bridge that fit the thin studs, replaced the knobs and switch and installed a set of GFS pickups (Fat Pat/Mean 90). Got the neck and action set up, only missing the intonation now. This really isn't a bad guitar, I can't wait to test it on my large rig.

Yeah, it's good stuff, mahogany with a solid maple top and it's routed out identical to USA Hamers. The only thing I don't like so far is the thick poly coating, but that's what you get on Korean guitars.

Pros: nice size, 14' square, close, in the basement of my building. Cons: two walls are concrete and there is a ton of slapback echo.

As with the guitar side, it gets fed the FZ-2 signal. Plenty of mids. At a certain volume level with the bass knob turned up the air in the room will pulse like someone is using a cranked up air hose. Sounding great so far and I highly recommend the Tone Hammer.

That looks like it's loud as hell. I L-O-V-E my ToneHammer 500. It sounds like the end of the world when I put my MicroBrute > Quantum Mystic > reverb into it, too, which is a plus.

In my opinion it's very loud for two 1x15s. Two 4x10s would probably be quite a bit louder but because I wanted to hand pick the speakers and buy new it was much cheaper to only have to spring for 2 of them. The speaker travel is so severe that I had to lengthen the grill spacers so the grill didn't get hit but the dB rating is still in the normal range unlike some of the other LF Eminence models that are more sub intended.
The tone hammer far exceeds my old sansamp bass driver for tone and output power.

you will dig the quality of that piece. also that e piano is super famous. like doogie howser and about every little band in the 80's used it. the keyboard has aftertouch so it is great for using as a controller keyboard too.
edit: I have the original instruction manual and all the other crap that comes with one new, in case you need to look something up and cant find the manual online.
ALSO: dx-7 uses a N.C. sustain pedal, not N.O. ,so best to get a reversible foot pedal or a Yamaha one. for example, my korg uses N.O. sustain

cool. I want to buy a couple nice sustain pedals yet. I will get universal ones too. B&H has like a million of them haha. i'm not paying any like roland or Yamaha premium prices either. the dx-7 came with one to get you started. I fucked around with the NC in the korg. you step on the pedal to clear the noise as it builds up in full sustain haha. could be useful for wall of music stuff. anyway, pretty cool using the wrong pedal for sustain-on and pedal clear.
I finally dug through my microswitches and found some with 2 NO and 2 NC contacts so I will be able to make universal pedals. first pedal project will be a dual NO for the drum machine. (play/stop and switch patterns/fills). these are just on/off shit so i'll just build some little reality with a couple of random hinge and some scraps of wood. I think illuminated doorbell switches could be used as trigger switches somehow. trick would be to keep from crushing them with some type of stop system like roland pedals have to keep from wasting that wimpy little switch they have inside.
I would rather have a decent pedal for sustain, so that's why i'll probably only buy those and build trigger switches.
like that Yamaha one. she's a beauty. Yamaha is 1st class shit, any product line is mint, not just music gear.
I still have a volume pedal from my arp odyssey that somehow got separated from the synth. I wish the malekko 616 had a jack to plug in a volume pedal that then replaces the regen pot with the volume pedal pot.

I think you need 16x12s for any sort of henge. You also need Druid technology to move them around.
Actually never mind that, those 6x12s look awesome. They should make a nice half circle around the drummer.

good question, I wondered the same thing. It's a handy way to remove the grill. I like the design better than the ACC cabs I own/have owned which also have removable grills.
This thing is a friggin tank. I wonder what speakers are inside. Sounds sort of like the fanes I had in my Ram 2x12. Doesn't break up easily and has a nice girth to the tone. A bit on the bassy side if anything. I would guess high wattage speaks with huge magnets. I sold those two speakers for $700 iirc.

I didn't get any gear but that's ok I've got plenty and have a couple things coming soon anyways. But I did get this Gear Acquisition Fund Storage Device from my girl. So it will help in acquiring new gear. handmade here in Portland by somebody undoubtedly with a beard, tattoos, and a handle bar moustache.

New to me; SG Systems SG100G. SS pre, 100w Tube Power, Reverb and Maestro Phase shifter. Acquired via Deaner, now resides in the B.A.T. cave. Hope to give it a real workout soon and I'll record a sound demo asap. Initial thoughts are very flat/hi fi type eq, somewhat dull. A good loud pedal blast may help that.

I've got the combo version, 2x12 & weighs 80lbs. Loud & clean, think Music Man. Good pedals sound great through it. Crap pedals are painful.
Hopefully Mark can figure out that Phaser switch pedal - wasn't working right for me.

good question, I wondered the same thing. It's a handy way to remove the grill. I like the design better than the ACC cabs I own/have owned which also have removable grills.
This thing is a friggin tank. I wonder what speakers are inside. Sounds sort of like the fanes I had in my Ram 2x12. Doesn't break up easily and has a nice girth to the tone. A bit on the bassy side if anything. I would guess high wattage speaks with huge magnets. I sold those two speakers for $700 iirc.
Traynor used Marsland Speakers, I think. They used others too, but Marsland was the most used. If they blew at some point, they likely wouldn't have gotten replaced by the same speakers. I had a couple of 15s (blown) and gave them away as I couldn't source a recone kit. They could be Utah's or Magnavox's as well.
If they sound good though, all the better. General consensus was that the Marslands didn't pass muster back in the day, what with competing against Fanes and whatnot.
Th butthole up front is indeed there to aid in getting the grill off. I think that one is upside down (maybe the cab is upside down?), but the grill can only go on one way as it has locating pins on the bottom. The grill pulls off with the finger hole, and lifts up unseating the pins. At least that's how my 215 was.
nice score.

Here's one that's bound to be unpopular around here:
(http://i.imgur.com/xO7M6JB.jpg)
Snagged this Charvel DC2FR yesterday from Guitar Center. Trans black finish, bound body/neck/headstock, set unfinished neck with a scalloped heel, Floyd Rose locking trem, EMG 81/85 pickups. I wanted a modern guitar for a change of pace, mostly for recording. The guitar usually goes for $650 and it was on clearance for $229, because they discontinued the model and no longer offer it with this trim AND a Floyd. It's not my favorite LOOKING guitar, it's a bit loud for me with the finished headstock and the flashy inlays, but after a nice setup it plays really nicely and I'm glad I went for it.

^i'm not trve kvlt, so I can freely admit that I like that whammy guitar. heh at first glance I was kind of dorking out like "wtf kind of PRS is that? there are NEVER EMG's in a PRS, and those different inlays n stuff." I don't recall seeing one of those at the GC near me, maybe I can go double check as an excuse to dick around in GC.
idk my emg numbers like I should. are those active or passive?
I hope they are active, curious as to how it compares to the schecter emg whammy guitar I have. probably not much difference. whammy +active emg +slab heh.
edit: mine is called Damien elite FR and it has the 85+81 setup. ok now that's sorted out. I have a dark red with some pattern on it. it is like art too.

Yep, active badboys. I like whammy guitars too. I'm not trve kvlt either brother, never have been. What's weird is that for as fast as the guitar is, the neck *kinda* reminds me of my cousin's Dan Armstrong... I mean, I guess it could be because I don't play many double cutaway/PRS style guitars, but it DOES feel more similar to the DA than anything else I'm familiar with.

Typical DI box I believe, could use for bass or acoustic guitar. Will try adding it to the sax player from Ocean of Stars' signal chain to see if it gives a noticeable boost when we rehearse/play out.

Lucked into this great find. Handmade by local Chattanooga Luthier Bruce Bennett.
I found this thread while researching this guitar.
http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/luthiers-corner/124770-bennett-guitars-double-cut-junior-build.html
Mine was made in 2000, and its a bit different, but I'll assume the techniques used are same/similar. P/O told me the body and neck are 1/4 sawn Brazilian and African mahogany, and the fretboard is Pau Ferro. It has a great feeling neck, a bit round up at the top and flattens and slightly widens as you go down. KILLER little guitar.
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c94/666bigbang/PhotoGrid_1417902145694_zpsksqcgpgp.jpg)
Update, for anyone who may be interested.
I took the guitar back to Bruce for him to lay hands on it and basically get a new setup and blessing. Got some interesting info thought I'd share.
Body Shape was inspired by his mid 70s Gretsch Corvette on top (I put it in his OHSC for the gretsch, and it fit like a glove), and a PRS on the bottom.
The Neck is my favorite part of the guitar, and he explained that it is similar to the older gibsons up @ the nut, and does flatten as it goes to the heel, but where its different is that it doesn't get much wider, it is 1 3/4" at the nut, and 2" @ the heel. No bulk down in the lead wanking positions, which he attributes to Rickenbacher type of necks. The other thing about the neck is that the fretboard is an unknown variety of Rosewood (presumably). He said he bought 100BF of it in the early 90s from a local lumberyard it was labelled rosewood. Has since gotten it analyzed by the Forestry Service, and comes back as an unknown wood type. He showed me the different tonal qualities of this wood and a piece of rosewood in raw form and Its much more bell like and resonates much lower. (nerd content for me). Unfortunately he has enough for 2 more fretboards, and one of those is for a custom Im getting.
Two piece body and neck. He told me that a two piece neck is stronger and more stable than the coveted one piece neck. The body is two piece to match the neck, check the pic, its dead on at the glue joint.
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c94/666bigbang/IMG_20150102_135226_718_zpsf4cmmqah.jpg)
He made 12 similar to this one. Mine is the last with a volute and the first with an oil rubbed finish.
(http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c94/666bigbang/IMG_20150102_132000_146_zpsn9mqgxkd.jpg)
He started these guitars to realize his vision of a barebones affordable do it all touring musicians rock and roll machine. Apparently it didnt catch on.

Man, that Bennett is rad. I love the concept of a pure meat-and-potatoes, blue collar rock machine. Like a LP Junior.
And just because I'm a dork (and had photoshop already open), I indulged a quick fantasy of having one and fashioning a black guard — smoothing a couple of the hard bevels. The results:

Very true. That stupid '98 S-10 has lived the mojave desert for a LOT of its life. I will keep that thing until it eventually commits suicide, as GMs like to do.
Oh, I also just picked up a 1994-ish 2-channel Dual Rectifier for, if I'm being completely honest...a crackhead price (think, Orange Tiny Terror range.) I've wanted exactly this amp for probably 20 years. Gotta make a new faceplate or something, because that diamond plate is just way too goofy for me. I'm glad these amps get sort of a bad rap amongst our vintage-inspired brethren. Keeps the prices in reality.

Nah, they're badasses. A little muddy for me in full dirt mode. I usually run an overdrive up front, or a ten band eq in the loop to bump the mids into usable range.
That said, my main amp is a Peavey ultra+... It was one of these for a couple years.

Those M/B Dual Recs are great.
(my guitar player Rocks one)
Far more versatile tone than the Triples.
And almost as rad as my Mark lll. ;)

Funny you should ask...
http://chattanooga.craigslist.org/msg/4850010423.html
I just added to the horde for the time being. This amp popped up and since Id been looking for one locally for awhile, I just laid out the money..but I NEED to recoup it somehow..so, the Soldano is up for sale. I am coming to terms with the fact that I prefer NMV amps, and when I use the soldano, I use it on the low input with low gain, and a bunch of volume..not really its wheelhouse. Great amp, great tone and playability. But fer chrissakes. Something's got to give.

looks like you could put several pc power supplies inside there.
after seeing that , I am only buying modules.
maybe you can mic the on/off power switch to get some sound out of that rig 8D or beat on it like a cajon

It's all midi, completely neuralized (tm). It's got double midi, so much midi.
It's hard to tell from the picture, but it's actually about 5 feet wide. So getting rack ears has been a big challenging.

Does it have a separate MIDI for the mids? With all those knobs, I'm betting it might...

It's a basic Stingray kind of tone, more or less. There's a three way switch for the pickup, between single coil, humbucker and single with a dummy coil, but they don't sound radically different. It also reminds me of my old Ric a bit.

I have had this guitar since 2013 but I never showed it to you guys.
2007/2008 BC Rich Mockingbird Exotic Classic with a Koa top. Put in push pull pots, vintage dimarzio dual sounds, and real NOS BC Rich Knobs from the 70's. This thing could eat an Explorer for lunch.

So my lady got me a mandolin as a belated Valentine's day gift!!! :D
Ibanez M510. Really nice student-model

Day one I learned "Copperhead Road" by ear.
Yesterday I learned "Battle of Evermore" and a bluegrass turnaround via YouTube lessons.
Today I was researching how to properly intonate it (YouTube lesson), and in the process broke a damn string. Got new strings then consulted YouTube on how to change them.
Provided my WiFi works properly, I should be playing gigs with it next week hahaha ;)
I've already looked into pickup kits for it \m/,

It was kind of a quickie job, so the edges got rounded. I think Rich should offer a smoothie variant like that. The agathis took to gunstock stain nicely.
I'd snag another Bronze in a heartbeat. Shred machine. Great home for EMGs as the wood tone is just ok anyway. It'd have to be a Mockingbird though...the WarCock was just never my style :D

1992 '67 SG Custom reissue in oxblood. Someone loaded it with Fralins along the way, so I will not feel bad about Scotchguarding some of that crazy yellow out of those covers.
PS: I got it for less than a stock, off the shelf '15 SG costs, so SUCK IT Henry.

Scored this Overdrive 80 recently. Pretty much the same as the green Matamp but half power. It's got something happening in the upper-mids that makes it sound more "punk" than the Matamp... it's hard to explain heh.

I got a drum set off of CL for cheap.
Only problem is the clear coat is yellowed. It is supposed to be silver but it has yellow blotchiness all to one side, I presume from sun damage.
At best it looks kinda like a Champagne color, at worst it looks like it got peed on.
You guys have any low effort suggestions for evening this out?

I donated this "half-stack" to Trans-Love Energies back in January. It's a Pearson Champ clone, prolly 10 Watts Class A. The cab used to be a Traynor 9x8" bass cab. I got it off a guy in Troy, Mich for $50. It has a Bob Heil (Talk Box Fame) "Celeste" 12" speaker, his version of a Greenback I guess. Really cool rig, I was honored to give back.

I love the YBA-1 amps. I know they're modded quite a lot, but I think they sound awesome stock. Jumped like you did. Funny it seems like they're more valuable stock, but folks buy them just to mod them.
Such great amps, built to last A really long time. I'd wager the most durable amps ever made.

$209.00 Shipped from Musician's Friend. After about 30 minutes, Im impressed by the authenticity of the tones and sound quality is damn good for 200 bucks. It will rock a full stack with authority. I haven't opened it up to check the construction, but assuming its all PCB mounted and using inexpensive materials. Outside it looks and feels nice. Initial thoughts are that for the price, it was a good buy.

I've always wanted a white P bass with a maple fingerboard and black pg. I came across a dude on TB that was selling his 88 SB1 that fit the bill so I jumped all over it

Well I went and bought that YBA-1 today. And I'm pretty sure I left my wallet there. I need gas to go pick it up. I need money for gas...
At least this thing rocks. It's loud as hell and loves my Pharaoh. The guy didn't mention until I got there that it only has a 2 prong cord so I'll need to get that changed.

Also when you guys said this was a loud amp I didn't realize it was like, shake papers off the desk while turned up to 2 loud. I love it.

Hey da, think you might have a YBA-1A there no? The 1A's were rated 90Watts tube power as opposed to the typical 45-55Watt YBA-1 versions.
Even though they both shared 2-power tubes the 1A's were louder/better IMO.

Oh my god I'm an idiot. I assumed the YBA-1A was just a newer variation of the YBA-1. Kind of like the shure SM7, SM7a, SM7b...
Well I got a lot more amp than i was expecting. I guess that's good.

Cauldron of WIN, Q! Welcome to the Traynor club.
Here's where I got confirmation about the YBA/YBA-1A 45/90 Watt "magic trick":
http://www.0rigami.com/vb/yorkvillehistory.pdf
"Product-wise, someone must have pointed out to Pete Traynor that there was a rather large gap in power between the 45 Watt YBA-1 and the 130 Watt YBA-3. In any case, the YBA-1A
"Bass Master Mark II" (90 Watts rms @ 4 Ohms) was ushered in during 1968. Looking identical to the YBA-1 except for its name and a telltale fan built into one end, the Mark II delivered around double the YBA-1's power from the same two 6CA7 output tubes, a fact which still leaves vintage amp collectors dumbfounded. Soon after its introduction the YBA-1A encountered
growing use by guitar players."
"Competitors were often quite liberal with their power ratings. Some used fully distorted maximum Watt ratings -double the sine wave rating - and called them "rms" which is perfectly legal since "rms"
(root mean square) has no bearing on distortion. Others used "peak" ratings which are even less meaningful. But Pete couldn't do this. Having established a "clean" criterion for bass amp power ratings, he naturally later carried it into PA and guitar amp power ratings. Why not use two types of ratings, a clean one for bass amps and PA, and a "dirty" one for guitar amps? Because Yorkville could end up with "90-watt" guitar amps that were clearly no more powerful than"45-watt" bass amps - a major ratings jumble, especially considering that guitar players were using Bass Masters almost from day one. So, not surprisingly, Traynor literature contained no power specifications well into the
1970s. And when the numbers did finally appear in literature, for years thereafter people would say,"There are Watts and then there are 'Traynor Watts,'" implying that the Traynor Watts were somehow bigger. (But now you know the rest of the story.)"
I just loaded my $65 Epi cab with 4 W.G.S. G12Q's. These are supposed to be the go-to 5E3 speaker replacement. They were pure fucking magic with my YBA.

New boost.
As per the Project 3.0 thread I built 2 non-functioning boost circuits and fuckered my TS808 clone by swapping out socketed parts. Then built another EP Boost circuit in effort to save $100.
Thus, I introduce the newest member of my guitar chain, as my circuit building skills have apparently shit the bed.

Picked up a 2011 Melody Maker Explorer, I wanted one for a while and I wanted something I could refinish and play with, for the price tag of $200 I figured I could not go wrong, Also I wish it was full size but I do love the V style headstock.
(https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8864/17759696965_9f1a5401b0_c.jpg)
Been wanting one of these for a long time now so I grabbed this one when I could, it is a 2005 Custom (still has ebony fretboard) pretty much no wear on it anywhere, has a few small marks from being put in a wall hanger or on a stand and a small amount of the gold on the bridge rubbed on the very edge.

You can get 100w out of a pair of EL34 if you run them right at the top of their voltage tolerance. Modern ones won't last too long like that, but its possible. I have a 200w 4 EL34 amp I don't trust to use.

I found one of these traynor ycv-212 cabinets in my garage the other day, so I tried it out and ended up trading my tenant for a couple of months worth of storage. It's a 2x12 horn style cab. Matches up with my traynor 4x12 pretty well and it's pretty killer with bass and my ampeg v4. I've got it stacked up on the 4x12 and it's handling midrange to treble frequencies, while the 4x12 is handling mids and bass freqs. It seems to be bright, which works out well with my synth rig for a fuller sound.

NATD! (New aftermarket tailpiece day)
Just finished MacGyver'ing on a tailpiece onto my ($300 closeout sale) Eastwood. It's only cosmetic, but it visually "balances" the guitar exactly the way I was hoping it would.

Been on a tear...good thing I love cheap stuff...
Eno Myomorpha - Screw the goofy name, Mini LM308 (Turbo) Rat. It Rats, it's tiny, @ $35, win. Mooer Black Secret clone btw.
(http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0361/2681/products/metalistik_1024x1024.JPG?v=1406556084)
Modtone Mini Fuzzer - traded my vintage Jax Shin Ei fuzz wah for a Rode NT2 original "lawsuit" LDC & $50. Was about to pop for a Behringer SF300 since it's essentially an improved Shin Ei circuit (Boss FZ2) but was thinking mini pedals. Didn't want a Muff or else Donner's Fashion Fuzz (Bustain!), found this. Funnily enough it cops a Superfuzz vibe and looks like a mini Fuzz Wah in shape. Unlike the Mooer style pedals this one can run on batteries.
Sound? All the stupid big fuzz I've wanted without the bullshit. Swollen Pickle? Too many options most of which disappear on guitar or bass. Shin Ei? Great tone ran into the semi dirty channel of my Tri AC but meh by itself and don't want to have to tap dance just to go from clean to big fuzz.
The Modtone does HUGE fuzz on guitar or bass, smart design, TB, battery, small....oh & $30 on Scamazon. Win.

Basses...told ya, on a tear!
So the SX I believe I mentioned back when. Well legends true, SXs are killer Fender clones dialed in. Added a Burns 250k push pull for series. Really going to have to A/B it with a P bass, probably not "the same as" but suitnable substitute. Closer than a MM for sure, & the P thing has been eating at me. I try something more "advanced" exotic etc, & that P pickup takes a good J. MM tone & just makes it sound thin & wimpy back to back.
Which is why I bought this Canvas. GC used rack, curse of my life...
(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NTMzWDgwMA==/$(KGrHqF,!icFB9-HblPKBQlL0ZgoZw~~60_35.JPG)
CTB10. LOL it's a package deal bass! $69?
Well dead strings and all, solid winner. Nice thick and wide P neck. P/J, high mass bridge...Canvasses used to be Canadian and pricier, these are Chinese versions of what must have been killer basses. Package schmackage, the birdseye in the maple, thick rosewood board, and mahogany under the "standard cheapo gloss black" added up to being too good to pass up. $19 more than I paid for just an SX P neck!
It's getting stripped so I'll leave my Jazz's body alone. Body and neck stripped sanded & tung oiled.
I'd traded in pedals for most of the price on that...so I feel less silly that this is still in the Police Hold at the other GC I frequent (bane o my wallet!). Before getting the Canvas, spied a $49 P bass clone...long story short, was exactly what you'd expect from a sub $100 former package bass, but was going to swap the SX neck on. Had already laid it away, then saw, for a few (ok 50) dollars more...
...a ROGUE.
Huh? Crap, aren't they?
Meet the LX400 Pro.
(https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4129/4845719065_976aa9a3e1_b.jpg)
Couldn't have convinced me online but in person...toss any vintage pretense out the door & be pleasantly surprised. 6 bolt 24 fret 2way trussed neck. Rosewood board real abalone dots. MM/J hybrid setup's a mix of Lakland and Bongo. Bypassable active eq. Through body bridge. Basswood with quilted maple in wine red.
Sounds excessive, but total for all is $300 + tax, or the equivalent of a nice Squier. All basses covered ;-)
Lastly, finally have something to run said basses into that isn't something from my guitar rig.
Behringer BDI21, aka the Po Boy's Bass Driver DI.
Drives bass, Talkbass discussions are basically spot on. Sounds awesome but a bitch to coax mids out of.
So...FrankenP Mids & Notch mods. Absolutely a keeper now, big bass and clang and all the mids. All of em. If I want to scoop mids hey got a J bass for that...since the "stock" mode no longer works. First SMT mod.

I have an Eno Myomorpha too, good low-budget Rat clone (note - I don't have golden ears, and never owned a real Rat before). I will check out that Modtone fuzz, I like tiny pedals.
Jake- the Stormbird is looking great.

I had a Whiteface original and kicked myself for a long time for selling it to a collector in a hard spot.
The Rat 2's have something "off" about them, this is "on". Been using em off and on since the 90's & these have the LM308 olde schoole thing in spades. Nails Sexorcisto era Zombie, Chaos A.D., & I'm sure a billion other metal punk & etc tones over the years.
Can't *not* have a Rat...
The Turbo mode makes it essentially two pedals and is a way huge bonus.
Biyang Mouse and GFS Brownie are both good clones too. Not mini, & some have/had a resistor value wrong but $1 mod later...

it kicks ass. selectable and footswitchable mid level and frequency boost, 'attack' to blend dry signal for pick definition, bass boost toggle, and an incredible and useful one knob gate. in love...

i just picked up this hofner club bass. i believe this will go along way towards less back pain from playing. it weighs a fraction of what my fender weighs. its pretty sweet. light as hell. hollow body. the neck is more like a guitar neck than a bass neck. has a nice growl to it. had my first jam with it today and it was impressive..got a show on friday and im psyched to play it..
its an olive green/brown burst color. cant really tell from the pic..

This guy's complaining about nobody clicking...go on over to the Rocket Pig Records channel & I'll show ya no clicks! ;D
Anyway, finally got the rig reconstructed. Since some back stabbing thief stole a rare mic from me, decided to take a big fat pic of everything he missed &/or I've been karmically compensated with since.

The new stuff in the photo? The Line 6 M13 on the board for starters. I just got tired of cool pedals with lame problems - noise power routing etc - & there's way cool shit you can do with two expression pedals. Four effects at once and a stupid amount of options, & then you update it. Bounced a DigiDelay SynthWah & Tonecore dock (NOISY cool idea), dropped noise and actually gained sound quality.
The GK cab is the new secret weapon. Ported 212 was a D class "NYC Subway" amp. The early ones had problems, got the cab free.
Add Eminence Beta 12a, & a "it only happens in L.A." prototype EV12L clone but neo powered. Major top shelf company, won't disclose which because it wasn't supposed to leave.
The cab is ~25lbs loaded and will make you question the wisdom of a 412, & the Laney through it actually doesn't do bad on bass duty. Still getting an iNuke though ;-)

The XXX 412 above is no longer part of the rig, sadly. Moving to Seattle and can't fit it in the Volvo.
Thankfully though I finagled a trade at GC for this big gay gem:

Don't know what it does? Listen to Ministry or RevCo, particularly the latter's cover of Rod Stewart's "D'ya Think I'm Sexy?" 'Lava' off of Filth Pig too if I recall.
Just stupid silly on bass, & apparently *KILLER* QOTSA tones on guitar.
Snagged like the only one under $200 on the net. Technically free ;D

Nice! I really like the upper octave fuzzes (like the Zvex Octane 3 as played by Chovie D) and IMO that Hendrixy octave up lead tone is missing from today's modern stoner rock. I know nobody can solo like Hendrix did, but it seems like that is a relatively untapped area to explore. Guitar solos are kind of a dying art though, I guess.

Also, those B:assmasters are my favorite bass fuzz (CID Vicious). Tons of gravelly texture but you retain pretty much all of your individual note definition. No muddiness making notes blur together. You can actually play heavy bass runs and they don't sound like a mess.

Impulse eBay purchase yesterday... a '77 Greco. It's a Jeff Beck-inspired guitar with everything I personally want in a Lester — wraparound '54 tailpiece (my absolute fav bridge on a Gibson), oxblood finish, nickel pup covers, amber knobs w/ cream hardware, neck binding with fret nibs, and the fact that it's NOT a Gibson makes me like it even more. I can be a petty bastard and have a love/hate/HATE relationship with Gibson.
PS, the Gibson version is $17,000. Seriously.

thanks lumpy! i agree about the lack of octave fuzz in stoner rock... bringin it back. i also have a mjm china fuzz, (superfuzz clone), that scrambles well. maybe i'll put er' on the board.

would like to see/hear a link to Chovie D's Octane 3 joint if you can offer it my man.
also, i made a vid w/the China Fuzz i was talking up.
bored and had the night off of work so i put it together.
it's not a really pronounced octave fuzz, but sounds quite like a 'scrambler' or like an actual super fuzz.
you be the judge.
but when it hit the switch at 1:43... all hell breaks loose! fuzzapocalypyse!

I can't find the link to the clip I wanted to share - I dunno if it's been taken down or maybe it was private. "Don't Wake Me" was the name of the song, by Bobby Smiths (Chovie D)
Anyway, the Octane III is a heavy pedal.

really bad timing following god's bass rig there, but one must strike while the iron is hot
grabbed the acoustic b200 1x15 bass combo for 3 bills since it was on sale now.
driving it with the greta tube pre is the first thing I tried. serious potential. also, EQ's are crazy cool. the 6 band is pretty wild. I think a 2-3 band parametric would really be the shit. I might get that DoD/Bat pedal with the parametric EQ's because of that.
it sounds like an effect moving your boost or cut notch up and down the freq spectrum.
I need to record some bass thru the super pharaoh thru the greta thru the b200. I am getting my nasty on slowly but surely.
(http://i1361.photobucket.com/albums/r678/86jibberish/B200_zpsv2vju6nd.jpg)
edit: they(acoustic) must have gotten yelled at or something by danny G. this MkII goober has separate gain, od AND od levels. there is a -10dB pad for hot signals now with a clip indicator, and even a compressor to keep the front end in line.
then they added cooling fans.....heh. thx danny. this one seems more abuse-worthy than the older one like I got for my nephew.

PRS Santana SE made in the early -00
Love the way it looks, it's simple yet got a bit bling bling going on those inlays. It plays wonderful and sounds pretty good too. The pickups are not very good on high gain tho, like them on lower gain bluesy stuff. Might swap those for something else.
Got two Korean guitars made by the World Musical Instrument Co and I must say, they beat many much more expensive guitars any day of the week.

Got my Atlas 612 in yesterday, loaded up with 4 Warehouse ET65's and 2 of the ET90's. Sounds great, insanely loud.

Almost all the gear I'm getting lately was paid for before I had my kid, who just turned one. The Atlas was ordered a lot more recently, but it was budgeted and the money put aside a long time ago. It's kind of like pre-baby me sent me presents. Which is awesome, because I sold almost all my gear over the last year.

recently got a treble booster clone made by my boy Mike from the band Sun Black Smoke.
i do believe it's a super tweaked D.A.M. Red Rooster circuit.
i love this fucking thing.
he made it for me for cost. $30.
check it out-
i made a coupla' vids, all guitars tuned down to Bflat
with a Les Paul and some amp breakup, as my kid videobombs me repeatedly.
with an SG on a really clean tone, and i make a 'dick joke' here.
and with single coils on a Jazzmaster with p90-types. i allude to Band of Gypsys 'Who Knows' because it almost gives a slight upper octave on single coil pups.
$30 well spent.

really bad timing following god's bass rig there, but one must strike while the iron is hot
grabbed the acoustic b200 1x15 bass combo for 3 bills since it was on sale now.
driving it with the greta tube pre is the first thing I tried. serious potential. also, EQ's are crazy cool. the 6 band is pretty wild. I think a 2-3 band parametric would really be the shit. I might get that DoD/Bat pedal with the parametric EQ's because of that.
it sounds like an effect moving your boost or cut notch up and down the freq spectrum.
I need to record some bass thru the super pharaoh thru the greta thru the b200. I am getting my nasty on slowly but surely.

edit: they(acoustic) must have gotten yelled at or something by danny G. this MkII goober has separate gain, od AND od levels. there is a -10dB pad for hot signals now with a clip indicator, and even a compressor to keep the front end in line.
then they added cooling fans.....heh. thx danny. this one seems more abuse-worthy than the older one like I got for my nephew.
I dug the hell out of my B200H. While it worked. Then it broke (twice) and I was pissed that such a good amp was built like a goddamn toy.

Got a proper mandolin pickup kit today. LR Braggs Radius. $140 new but $60 from a guy on CL.
I can even install it permanently instead of being clipped on. I am definitely going to do that

It's a really good bass stock, at least in my opinion. Well built, plays nice. I like the tone, it doesn't sound like a Precision, Jazz or even my custom Dual HB Drake. I got this one with a hardshell case, used in like new condition for $420 shipped. They're new for $500 with no case, which seems like it's still a good deal. Here, I made some clips of it clean and with some dirt. Both pickups up full, has kind of a dark tone. Not muddy, still lots of clarity, but not "zingy". Which I like, I love darker tones. Dialing down the neck pickup or soloing the bridge pickup obviously makes it brighter. Neck pickup alone has some pretty nice punch.

^ sounds great!
Picked this up today through Craigslist for about half the new price in like new condition. 28.6" scale. I like my P but for tremolo picking near the bridge this guy is much easier and palm mutes even sound good on it through distortion.

So after losing some minor gear in Seattle to de pawn...shop op op, I got back to LA and looked for a "beater". Something to fuck around with...nothin' serious. Maybe even...acoustic.
Well, the Craigslist Gods smiled upon my being and said verily unto me, "fuck that!"
And top of the results for guitar under 100...a Guitar Fetish/Slick SL59.

Been eyeballing these for YEARS. Really wanted a SL54 "Poor Man's Rampage" for drop C, but...actually recently decided I'm all about 24 3/4. So this is my next choice, & it comes up to sit in my lap, for 98 bones out the door...
...equipped with coated D'Addarios and a soapbar style Super Distortion.
Xmas came early!
Not a *shred* of hype, as promised. Great quality, tidy joint, superb frets, resonant as my 2002 Melody Maker and does a similar "faux acoustic" trick.
Listen, I know Earl has endorsed everything but tampons, but he really threw Everyman a bone with this line.
Put through my standard GC Test Amp, a DSL100 half stack, this thing has solid brass balls in addition to hardware. Got nice compliments leaving whereas walking in it was like "oh great...11 o'clock and already with the half stack".
Hot damn! I'd take one of each...particularly used for a song!
Hyperventilatingly Hyperbolic, I know, but I probably tried out a hundred different guitars this summer and this thing is about as good a player as any and better than a *lot*.
The hardware is nice enough to upgrade a Gibson with. Which may just happen as the raw brass hardware was a big part of the initial attraction.
And this is the "early imperfect" run with the "too low" bridge.
If they made a nice PJ bass like this...

I'll keep that in mind but I suspect you could probably find one somewhere for $100 in better condition than mine..
It's either going to a pro for a new neck or going on ebay. No hurry though as I have months of writing and recording planned for other projects in different tunings using other guitars.

dude, i just traded my gibson sg because i just couldn't live with the neck dive. that looks fanfuckingtastic. the chitty chitty bang bang trem looks cool too!!!
Life is too short to deal with neck dive.
For the money the SG specials are great, the new ones at least. I suspect that the Indonesian factory has updated equipment. My older LP special needs a fret job, I think I got that one for $60 though.

but it's butt ugly.
ahhh, who am i to judge... i think we've all rocked out a booty call with a butter face with a rockin' body.

Aww shucks. I'm probably not worthy as there are tons of Cushing films I haven't seen. The man could ACT. Him, Lee, and Price. Doesn't get better.
I actually like the look of the Stetsbar. To me it screams what the hell is that? And why/how it is moving forward in such a manner??!! It's very smooth and fantastic for psychy dive bomb prop plane type sounds.

Whoa, yeah that thing is weird looking. But if it sounds good in the right hands that is the important thing.
Got the Weeping Demon. It's less fizzy than my RMC, maybe more modern sounding than I'd like but it's super adjustable in just about every way imaginable so I think it's going to work out. Wish I would have had it when Emerald Douglas was playing out and recording(for our one song with wah ;D).

I traded my green Sb2 (with the Sb1 neck) to a dude on TB for his Ampeg Hlf cab and some dough. I wanted a 4 10 Ampeg cab for this new band that I joined ( band #3) And the fact that this has casters is pretty bitchin. I just finished customizing it.

..speaking of casters. if y'all have ever priced them, they are kind of expensive.
but these dolly's from harbor freight have 4 of them for one low price. these are on sale for $7-$8 frequently. I have about a half dozen already and I need a couple more to actually tear apart

nice score. those were w/e $400 in the day. we had those at the audio warehouse around 1980
that is a very special TT in 2 respects:
1) it has what is called a "tangential tracking" tonearm. that thing rides on a rotating shaft(just like L ron loves to do) so that it can move laterally with minimal resistance.
the tonearm itself is very short and always is in perfect alignment with the record grooves.
2) it has a mechanical tracking force mechanism: this means, that with the lid closed, and an album playing, you can turn that TT any way you want and it will keep playing fine:
upside-down..on its side, doesn't matter. just move real slow so you don't jag the tonearm with a sharp motion and possibly scratch your record
I had a lot of fun with that while it was on the floor loke on a slow day
the top of the line Dual like 560 or wtf, could also track with the TT at any position. I still want one of those.
edit: btw, the shorty tonearm makes for nice low resonance tonearm. if you got a new stylus(fresh magnets, fresh cantilever and suspension material) that is actually a clean sounding TT.
It is not audiophile because it just makes too much noise(nit-pick level) and it is not super musical, BUT for normal perspective, those are nice.
bottom line: good score.
ps. that is thee best TT for outdoor events where albums get played. that right there makes it worth even more to me. thee olde "close-n-play". fuckin' A heh
edit: wait on that "turn it any way" .i'm starting to think that isn't the same model..lemme look into this...im remembering a semicircular clamp that went over the center of the album...
I have to be careful here. this was a 1981-1982 model..we had an older one....maybe I can find it....it has to have a record clamp to be able to be turned any way
also, the SL-DL1 got nice reviews...for $65 it's a keeper

In the spirit of that sweet PRS Paul Allender, I too bought something people don't really mention around here recently. I got myself an engagement present. Picked up a used LTD MH-417 7-string. It's matte black and it rips. I also grabbed a Line6 POD HD400 since I don't have a practice amp at home but I do have a pair of nice monitors.
I hate the POD, wasn't aware the HD400 doesn't have a way to disable the cab simulator function like the 500 does. Going to try to sell it for a small loss and get into an HD500 if possible, but it'll do for now.
I love the 7 string more than any of my other guitars, though.

heh, that sony is a trip. we didn't have that at that time.
The Audio Warehouse was a Sony distributor though. I got the very first sony portable CD player before CD car decks. I still have it. the motor is tired heh.
ok, the model I was mistaking the SL- DL1 for was the SL-10. and it was basically a 12" square, and you could position it any way you liked

Weeping Demon wah(0:00)
Deja Vibe(1:08)
Analogman Dark Peppermint fuzz and EH Holy Grail reverb(spring setting) are on the whole time. FZ-2 and Digitech X-Series delay come in during the second half to help induce ego loss.

My buddy has an 80's alpine white Gibson Flying V bass, with the bridge modded to a BadAss. He's mentioned to me that he wants to sell it a few times, but probably not cheap because they're kind of rare I guess.

Yea the 80's ones are pretty rare and kind of crappy to be honest. I really want one of the reissues from a few years back but they are tough to find and overpriced.
I played one at a GC in Maryland around 2011 or so and dug it. That thing sat there for probably a year and they kept dropping the price on it. When I finally decided to get it....the thing was gone. Now they go for like $1200-$1500.....which is just stupid

I'll be putting this on the board for the show on Saturday fo sho
My favorite bass fuzz. Totally ripping, but with great note definition. Not as boomy as some, but that's not really my sound... I like low-mids.

mini deja-vibe
(http://www.fulltone.com/sites/default/files/photos/products/fulltone-mdv1-main.png)
EV 767 vocal mic
(http://www.sweetwater.com/images/closeup/750-ND767A_detail3.jpg)
and a korg sledgehammer pro+ a snark clip on tuners
also I ordered a replacement stylus from japan to upgrade my awesome audio technica AT15SA into a full blown top of the line AT20SA
the shibata cut diamond contacts more record surface than any other geometry and gets the most detail without going into super hi-end money
I am very stoked to hear this...to quote tom petty: "The way-ay-ting is the harrrr-dest parrrrt" heh
I have a couple more sm57's to buy and then only synth's and an occasional impulse purchase guitar (fun stuff vs infrastructure stuff)

Well, almost a new bass day :-\
Went to look at a Univox Hi Flier. Phase III, so mid-70s sunburst with a maple fretboard... The only Hi Flier I've ever seen with a maple fretboard. Anyway, it was broken and setup was terrible. Switch was broken, neck pickup didn't work (probably because of the switch, but I didn't want to risk it), pots were totally scratched out, and on the top few frets the string hit the neck pickup and rattled out. Easy fixes by themselves but altogether not something I wanted to take on and the dude wouldn't budget from $300 and actually got mad at me for pointing out that it was broken. Wierdo.
Anyway, another day...

Dick.
I had a hi-flier 6 string. Really a good guitar. I bought it for 80 buck before the internet was a thing. I gave it away many years later to a friends son. He loves it.

These are my two most recent acquisitions. Last month I picked up the VTM 60 and today I picked up the Beta Lead which works great and sounds great but needs a cleaning fairly badly. I haven't tried them together yet but I have a feeling that they will mix nicely.

1997 Gibson SG-1
Built the year I began playing. 19 year old piece of Honduran mahogany. ~6 lbs.
I have ran into a shop screaming "SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!! only to find out it had literally just been sold. Multiple times. Never for sale when you have the cash. Apparently a common affliction amongst those hooked by em.
Big fan of single humbucker guitars. Perfect for live use, very little to fuck with - or fuck up. Volume tone tune play.
Bonus is, of course, moah tonewood around the critical neck joint. Go read about EVHs destroyed Destroyer, and work backwards from there.
Earl Slick did it first, at least on purpose. Leslie West with Mountain.
Thankfully people simply cannot wrap their head aroundeven one guitar not having a pickup that most use 20% of the time at best. So these don't get snapped up as quick.
22 polished crowned and leveled frets. Always loved the pearl dots.
The 500T is a serious hot shit contender. Don't listen to morons who think made in 80's = hair metal butt rock tones. Not every pickup is the damned JB, which IME onstantly turns my amp's Sabbath crush into Aquanet.
Think crossing a Custom SH5 with the SH6 Distortion. Has the SH6's brOOtz and harmonics with the SH5's more woody PAF style voice. Factory coil tap reveals that it splits well. Never been less tempted to swap pickups in my life. 500T in an SG is pretty fucking dynamite, and since people have this weird idea that Gibson and Fender don't know how to make the pickups they're known for pioneering, go cheap. $119 retail is SD Custom Shop territory.
These are fucking great "Poor Man's Iommi" pickups.
Those are my target set though I've never tried them personally. Considered Lace Drop N Gains, D Activators, Nazgul/Sentient (best "brootz" set I've yetplsyed, very modern even through my AOR), EMG 57/66 & Hets, Deathbucker, have a really decent HB103 set.
If you like old school heavy, these bring it.
Only thing that may unseat the 500 is those tasty Fluence pickups. Cheaper than Bare Knuckles or Iommis, are genuinely new technology with real benefits (active tech without the EMG sterility AND can do their own game better), and...two pickup voicings in one.
Fluence Modern (maybe Classic, heard they do metal fine) and some GFS Sperzel copies, call it a day.
We're getting married in the spring, shh my Melody Maker doesn't know yet ;-)

only 300 made. and that back.

knew you'd appreciate it man, what pushed me to pull the pin was our last discussion here about p90's.
saw a deluxe for $1800 on reverb and calculated in my mind a conversion cost to p90's.
caught a glimpse of this, the bigsby w/vibramate and original stoptail included made me see how great of a deal it is.
i'm a gigantic gilmour fan and didn't realize this until after the fact-

Genesee regular is the free beer for the bands at one of our local venues. At one point I noted to our drummer that it was the only beer I have ever had that gets less tolerable the more you drink. It's its own governor.
He hadn't noticed until I said something. From that point on all he could think about was how much harder the next beer is going to be to choke down.

we come from a place where US presidents get shot dead, winter morning commutes are always blizzard condition near death experiences, (but the main concern is not spilling our coffee), bands like cannibal corpse and rick james come from, (sorry about the whole goo goo dolls thing), and deep fried chicken fat smothered in butter and hot sauce is a light snack.

we have lots of genee cream ale around here. pounders Monday or whatever is a tradition in many clevo bars

thanks man, i'm adjusting well to the new addition! the p90's are so very different than buckers or strat pups... adjustment to mids on the amps and just pick dynamics is key i think. and been a while since i used a bigsby too, but yeah, loving it my man.
i sold three guitars last year to make bills/car shit/family stuff. two sg's, (don't miss those neck diving cunts), and a jazzmaster, (do miss that lunking cunt), so yeah, not a rich guy, but got a few nice toys.

I do like the micro terror up top though, I did all that stuff last night along with orange neon blacklight glow paint on my fingers, it was fun! not sure if I will do the neon stuff again though.

Had been thinking about getting my first Gibson LP when I saw this Studio for cheap. The least expensive set neck LP Epiphone makes. Had one briefly a few years ago. Missing the pick guard and has a few dings. Needs a bit of fret work. 14 18 32 42 52 68 A# standard at the moment with a DiMarzio Air Zone bridge pickup. Sounding pretty good including the stock neck pup. Any of you ever have an Air Zone?

^ I have that and the real deal and they sound exactly the same to my ears. I use them both in my 2 piece band/project. It's not the heaviest thickest most brutal sounding distortion pedal ever made but into a tube amp they are great.

Bitter, that's a good pedal. Trick is to run it into a JCM800 ish level of gain. The sound stacked with the Marshall is the shizznite.
Had a Jax fuzz wah, the real circuit, for awhile, but was too nice to brutalize.
Anyway NGD was this weekend, but sold my Slick SL59. Had a Washburn Hawk RI, a Hamer SS Archtop, & a Daisy Rock Elite Jr style battling it out at 110 each.
DR has too skinny a neck, otherwise dope in a glammy kinda way. Set neck.
Hamer had dreaded neck joint issues.
Washburn was spray painted over a burst flametop, beat to shit but had potential. Wouldn't do it for that coin though.
Soo...ex thrasher's beat to shit LTD EC300 FTW.
Snapped & reset neck, plays...100 bucks.
However, my eagle eye spied:
Pair of 81s, not HZs.
Sperzel tuners.
And came with a pair of Schaller pins for the locks I had.
New NYXLs and even without a neck tweak, plays fine for a beater, and rolling the tone back takes a lot of the "activeness" away for less modern stuff. Liking it more than I thought. I noticed newer ECs have a different shape. Might have to keep an eye out for a non thrashed one.
I'm calling it Trash Panda.

Been curious about these for a long time and the price was right.
At some point a lame embarrassed person scratched off the Peavey logo and there is no back piece but it has new tubes and came with the 3 button footswitch. I can live without the mudflap girls. Sounding good so far, more or less like the tube amp version of the Amptweaker TightMetal pedal which makes sense because James Brown designed them both. May use it and the TM(into the Carvin) at the same time with different cabs for recording.

Sounding good so far, more or less like the tube amp version of the Amptweaker TightMetal pedal which makes sense because James Brown designed them both. May use it and the TM(into the Carvin) at the same time with different cabs for recording.

I've recently bought some toys....I got a Sansamp Programmable 3-channel DI (love it), and a Squier Deluxe Jazz V. the bass is ok. I swore off of 5 strings a long time ago, but my stupid shitty bar cover band requires 3, THREE different tuning scenarios, and I just can't justify having 3 basses onstage. Anyhoo, the active preamp is pretty cool, but it makes the Sansamp unnecessary. I opted for the active because passive Squier 5'ers are pretty lame on the low end. It's heavy, but it sounds good. On that end, i wound up needing a new strap to conteract the weight issue. Got me a Mono Betty. Nice strap, distributes the bulk nicely. Not long enough, even though I got the "extra long", but it'll do. This ends my once-a-week rambling.

I finally broke down and just bought a decent strap. the strap that I've been using was my grandfathers and it's probably 40 years old....and looks every bit of it. It's comfortable as hell, but it's held together by tape. So it was time to retire it.

edit: sony KD-px440 voice recorder, except it can record at high data rates too
this was cheap as hell w/e $53.
Sony rules. the whole thing is the memory stick, you just slide the connector out like any other one and plug it into the PC or a USB extension cord.
awesome having this recording power on tap in your pocket wherever. has an SD card slot so I could even load music and some stupid amount of internal memory.
also the best feature is a mechanical lock that once engaged, you cant fuck up anything on the recorder to blow your take. have to turn off the lock to stop the recording.
awesome.

I really like these seatbelt straps some people make. Super comfy. Maybe a little too slippery, if that's an issue for you. Cheap versions on Musicians Friend (like 10 bucks) or spend a little more (15) for a slightly nicer one from Souldier on Reverb.com.

2013 '60s tribute in Vintage Sunburst. Thin neck, 24 frets, burstbucker pups. Looking for a set of the Witchfinder General hat knobs from the '70s tribute.
The pups have plenty of power and bite for me but not too much. I'm getting monstrous full range distortion tones and the thick low mids my cave metal brain needs despite the covers, PCB board(internet talk..), and light weight. My cheap guitars sound limited and somewhat weak in comparison(duh, right?). It's only slightly neck heavy and the strap I'm using although fairly smooth provides enough grip to prevent it from dropping when I let go to change pedals and what not. The nut is short and the strings sit on it more than in it. I have only 2 criticisms: the fret ends are a little sharp, not real bad but noticeable and the bridge bolts don't have slots for a screwdriver which makes adjustments take more time. Otherwise I'm really really digging this guitar. One ring to rule them all, or at least when I'm in tunings allowed by 14 18 28 42 52 68 strings(currently A#). Some of the newer Gibson pauls in this price range don't look so great upon close inspection but there isn't really anything in the fit and finish of this guitar that seems sloppy or off. I'm glad I gave the SG another chance. Stay away from the models with the 50s neck if you want a balanced guitar.

I wasn't paying attention at the time but I've read they were around $900 new and occasionally blown out for less. Used but in near new condition they tend to go for 500/600. There are some 'chocolate' finish ones floating around and I think that may have been a Musician's Friend exclusive, they look really nice although a bit reddish in certain light.

Got a nice bonus at work and pulled the trigger on this Ferrari of drum machines. This thing is completely amazing sounding (8 voice analog drum synth and also plays samples) and has every tool for performance I need. Was using the hell out of the volca sample, but needed a little more from it. This has WAYYY more, and sure is nice to have something top of the line and modern for a change. A performance machine.

I'll need to take pics of the full hoard of gear I mentioned in the Jam Room but here's a pic of one of the toms on the mystery drum set (all signs pointing to 70's Pearl Export with the wraps stripped off).
Looking forward to cleaning them up with lemon oil, replacing the heads, and seeing how they sound

nice toy droney. all that electron shit is like moog shit. very nice, and somewhat pricey.
you would have to use a DAW like ableton, controlling an analog drum machine to do all of the shit that that thing does from one box.
I believe rager scored an electron analog4 before he evaporated from here. I was envious heh.
edit: fuck spellcheck it turned eleKtron into electron wtf...

yeah, I noticed that he/Rager disappeared. I don't come here much myself, but there's usually something to read if I do.
This toy is still ruling btw. The A4 looks great. Collecting synths is not my thing, so doubt that I'll be buying any more of their stuff, but Elektron makes some luxurious gear. You just feel better using it. They just released a really nice upgrade last week for my box. Added a bunch of new synth "engines" for creating specific drum sounds. It's an analog synth construct, so there are physical limitations even though it's digitally controlled. I read their forum and others, and it seems like a lot of people don't understand the physical limitations of analog synthesis. They're like, "why doesn't this thing do what my digital box will do?" and it's kinda funny. Duh, people. There are actual components literally built in there (not a chip that does it all) and no amount of software can make those components function beyond their limits. Like trying to make a big muff also work like a tube screamer.....and a fuzz face, and all the fuzz pedals that have ever been. Digital can do a lot, but analog has way more limitations. I love that about "simple" gear.

for outdoor unplugged fun I snagged this acoustic bass. got it based on the reviews which said it booms as well as anything else on the wall but the pickup sucks ass.
and it stays in tune. good enough for a $200 fun toy that may never get plugged in.....

wow is it loud when you use a pick.
I don't use a pick normally with the electric bass but I may have to with this acoustic. it is hard to pluck the low e without buzzing it when trying to get loud unplugged.

I've had a rouge acoustic/electric for like 15 years.the pickup sucked and the input jack ended up falling into the body. But I love the thing. I probably play it more than any of my other basses

heh, I agree there, my 2 cheapo acoustics are turning out to be my most fun toys...I recommend that everyone at least grab an <$100 acoustic at xmas from like GC or anyone really.
the trick with that bass is to figure a good strap solution. the entire weight of the acoustic bass is the neck. absolutely zero point in putting the neck end of the strap at the base of the neck like normal guitars. the strap has to support from the far end of the neck. then I have to figure some middle part to keep the strap on my shoulder. that guitar is huge(well not for chris, probably looks like he's holding a fucking ukulele haha)

yeah man, it sounds great at every position. dimed it breaks up like fuzz, lower levels through a loud amp are nice and almost fuzzy distortion. you gotta boost the mids a little on the amp a little though, but really cool pedal. that and the knob so big you can adjust it with your foot.

Sold this one few years back, came up listed cheap non working as a tech told the guy needed all new valves. Needed one valve. And all the other valves were Mullards, so I see what the plan was there.

Lots of very different amps branded Sound City. The 120s like this one are nothing like Hiwatts unless you are a dodge ebay seller. 120s have eq consisting of three bandpassed gain stages, which means tons of clean gain in the pre, which correspondingly means lots of noise, when combined with not very good layout, lead dress and sometimes not very good components. This one in particular isn't too noisy, but some need loads of resistors and caps replaced, and wiring stirred up to sort the noise. The nature of the eq means it does do quite a lot of different sounds, but a lot of them are horrible, have to dial it in, if you do the guitarist thing of turning all the knobs to the same positions as your other amp, it will sound fucking AIDS, you'll see people complaining about that a lot. Also they go way loud without breakup, unless someone has put the wrong valve in the PI (should be an ECC81, not an 83), in which case it will break up loads and have shitty power since the 83 doesn't push the power valves to full output.
100w mark 1,2 and 3 are kind of like 100w Hiwatts, just not made as fancy. Most 50s are passive EQ also, which is more like a Hiwatt than the 120s, but not that much, a few have the active eq and corresponding noise.
Mark 6 are some guitar shops own brand, cheapy amp. There are new ones out too, know nothing about those. There was also German solid state cheapie jobs with nothing to do with actual Sound City.
There are 200w KT88 sound city amps too, up to mark 3 is kinda like Hiwatt but scruffy, Mark 4 200+ is active pre, all beasty amps. Any of the PA ones are worth grabbing if not too expensive, full of potential. I've had a couple stripped out and rebuilt with tweaked Model T front end with 6 EL34 output, and makes for an awesome amp.

holy shit foxenator, that's a lot of variance right there! that's a lotta' info too; thank you very much for that.
U ROCK \M/ \M/.
and the german cheapie jobs seem super ghetto by your script... like crate ghetto.
so i gotta' ask... how can i get an affordable hiwatt, townsend/gilmour clean headroom/dirt poweramp sound? maybe a modern amp that takes a fuzz well and sounds like a hiwatt in the power section?
i've owned marshall 800's, 900's,
i'm currently using an orange th30, and it sounds fantastic to me on both channels, using the tube drive on the dirt channel and muffing or placefuzzhere on the clean channel.
but i'm feeling, "some kind'a way", and i want a more 'brit grit' kinda' toanz.
ideas?

Nothing magic about Hiwatt power section, standard but made of good bits, and not tiny undersized iron being covered by a shitty distorted preamp. Anything with a decent power section and reasonably clean pre is what I buy here in the UK, situation is a bit diffrent in the US, no Carlsbros or Selmers about for cheap. Bugera 1960 Infinium might be worth a try, they are cheap, warrantied, have a PPIMV you can disable, actually decent sized iron in them, mate made a very passable Laney Supergroup clone with one. Guess shops would stock them where you can try.

"Modified with master volume.", along with a hole cut in the side presumably for a fan, and something is in the ground connection hole under the power lead that doesn't look like it is for connecting ground. So definitely not true.

I bought a used Roland vdrums portable drumset and made a video of it so you could see how it sounds in a doom setting:
Last night I wrote a Doom song, any constructive criticism is appreciated. Lots of talent in this group!
https://youtu.be/MZgy-mQnnpg
Here are my lyrics:
Inside the fears that you hide
Destroy the dead inside
Every turn you look you see your past
Every time you spiral into the past
Focusing on the past and future
You keep repeating your past
ride the storm into the now
find eternity in a moment
You could leave the past for gone
Would you know your face
You could leave your fears long gone
Would you know who you are
INSIDE FOREST, THE TUNNEL INTO THE MIND
THE TRUTH IS THERE, IF YOU LET IT BE
Let go of what pulls you down, Its dragging away from who you are
Let go of your demons, disappear into the night
RIDE THE SUN RAY, INTO THE LIGHT
PUSH THE PAST, AWAY FROM YOUR MIND
THE FUTURE A MIRAGE, A FIGMENT OF THOUGHT
DIE TO THE PAST, DIE TO THE FUTURE,
Can you find a way, can you find the now
ITS THERE IN FRONT OF YOU
CAN YOU TAKE A CHANCE
ITS THERE IN FRONT OF YOU
CAN YOU TAKE BACK
Last night I wrote a Doom song, any constructive criticism is appreciated. Lots of talent in this group!
https://youtu.be/MZgy-mQnnpg
Here are my lyrics:
Inside the fears that you hide
Destroy the dead inside
Every turn you look you see your past
Every time you spiral into the past
Focusing on the past and future
You keep repeating your past
ride the storm into the now
find eternity in a moment
You could leave the past for gone
Would you know your face
You could leave your fears long gone
Would you know who you are
INSIDE FOREST, THE TUNNEL INTO THE MIND
THE TRUTH IS THERE, IF YOU LET IT BE
Let go of what pulls you down, Its dragging away from who you are
Let go of your demons, disappear into the night
RIDE THE SUN RAY, INTO THE LIGHT
PUSH THE PAST, AWAY FROM YOUR MIND
THE FUTURE A MIRAGE, A FIGMENT OF THOUGHT
DIE TO THE PAST, DIE TO THE FUTURE,
Can you find a way, can you find the now
ITS THERE IN FRONT OF YOU
CAN YOU TAKE A CHANCE
ITS THERE IN FRONT OF YOU
CAN YOU TAKE BACK

that was a great song everdrone. I enjoyed the hell out of that all except for 1 thing, but hardly a deal breaker.
I tried to listen closely for anything. The only thing I heard was one or two of the cymbals sounded nasty in my headphones, and it is the same sample and same nastiness each hit
. it's a long chain from there to here so idk where the crap is introduced
I have to leave this on a positive: that song kicks ass. Also the bass has a very cool sound you have dialed in.
What software do you have to put all the different "band" members on the same screen at the same time? TIA. I really have wanted to do that ever since who knows how long ago.....

thanks much Im glad you like it :)
the cymbals prolly got squashed with my ozone 5 on the Master, but ya that drum software is really extensive and the presets I used are for slower heavier doom music, Ill look into it, thanks for your insights
I had some luck with the video editing with sony platinum I got for $67 so I see it costs $50 now, here it is: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Movie-Studio-Platinum-Download/dp/B00MEO19XW?ie=UTF8&keywords=sony%20vegas%20platinum&qid=1463523816&ref_=sr_1_2&sr=8-2
I downloaded this program for free for 10 days and I learned how to do what I did from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nroNQE1hirk

Finally fired up the curb amp my friend gave me proper after being too busy with the move for 2 months.
Holy shit, this thing is tits.
Turns out the lack of initial output was due to the input jack being a little fucky. Gain channel doesn't work but eq and fx loop does. I'll use the EQ for sure.
Damn. I've been needing a gig worthy combo amp, and this thing will do the trick! Never thought I'd go solid state, but fuck it :)
Using it as aux amp for Ocean of Stars on Tuesday.
After that will drop it off to get cleaned up while I'm out with Thunderosa first part of September.
Sweet! Thought at the least I could fix it up and sell it. Fuck it I'm keeping it!!!

I just picked up a Morley power fuzz wah. Cliff Burton signature model. It's pretty sick. Definitely blows away my crybaby bass wah. Crank the Fucker up and played the opening bass riff to for whom the bell tolls and yep, sounds like cliff.
This should be a nice addition for taking the noisecore to the next level. I can wah my feedback now.

I have an old, vintage one I use with my guitar, and it has some insane fuzz. I love it. I messed around with my friend's bass through it once and it was very cool. Post some clips.

Newest bitch...had to do something with the 'Mariners Fan Respray', so while pulling the stock 81/85 for a single Fluence Modern Ceramic, I did my first relic job.
I dig, like Vipers, dislike the "must be Metalcore" stigma. Previous owner added the pickguard.
Fluence FTW, an 'ideal' EMG81 & clear but thick 'passive' voice in one pickup. I dsfault to Passive and pull up for the 'Active' mode.
$330, & only because I haven't sold the EMGs yet. Thinking eventually that a Fluence Classic Bridge would actually make a killer doom/stoner neck pickup. Actually dig the 'chopped' vibe as is.
Good enough to stand in for my faraway Gibsons.

VS100RH "Tommy Victor" head on a MF400 "Kerry King" cab. Snaps Fingers/Necks, Slays.
I wish I'd rediscovered these 90's Valvestates earlier. All three channels are good, just GOTTA use em with a "real" cab.
Haven't gotten to try it with the Tri A.C. yet, but either as a pre into the effects return, or just adding three grit channels to the stock clean, should crush. Just got my third NIB example, & it's a wonder I own anything with tubes...so damn good just by itself. Even as a headphone amp!
Just nice to finally have a matching-ish Marshall half stack going. Best Valvestate amp & best Valvestate (Mode Four) cab. 1960TV sized like a Recto Oversized but with K100s.
Springtime, it'll be the Laney on this cab & either the VS100 or my Plexi powering my effects side, both fed by a Radial Switchbone.
Dueling 100w half stacks? :-)

So apparently yes, the curb amp Fender Rivera era showman 1x15 is a sought-after amp by pedal steel players.
Currently talking to a pedal steel player about selling the amp as is -- gain channel non functional as is reverb (the latter much more valuable than the former) -- vs fixing it up. Perfect working order could fetch $1200+.
However I have van repairs I need to pay for now >:(

It's a '60s Tribute model and has to my knowledge the second thinnest neck of any SG from the last 10 or 20 years, maybe ever. It is technically just a tiny bit neck heavy but even the smooth strap I use keeps it up when I let go.

loved my sg's, so very much. but the neck dive on my belly was a deal breaker. love the weight and 'hang' of my les pauls much more and they're my keepers. miss the sg's though.

You'd probably like the '60s tribute model as it's pretty balanced although not quite like a LP. I think the 'future' SG may also have a really thin neck. Sometimes these guitars go for $500 or less in brand new condition.

Super stoked on both, but haven't played the Rich with the band yet. Hopefully that goes well, but I'll be swapping the active pre for a couple of passive Ps soon enough.

It's weird. The Sunn and the Ampeg both sound awesome by themselves, don't get me wrong... But having the Sunn slaved to the Ampeg is incredible. Running the Sunn as the pre really rounds out the mid-heavy tone of the SVT and having the SVT in the power section boosts what's lacking in the Sunn.

I have bridged the channels, but have had varying reports on what effect, if any, that has on the sound. I for sure got more of a hum/buzz when I bridged them though, so I quit doing it.

I picked up an Excel stereo volume pedal for $30 CAN. I did a double-take when I saw the ad. It's definitely a Colorsound wah/exp housing, stamped steel, etc. Instead of a footswitch, there's a master volume pot under the treadle. So basically if you plug it in, it's always on. No 9V or battery needed. I'm probably going to buy a drop in kit on Reverb or eBay eventually.

There was a musicians swap meet here this weekend. Some junk but lots of cool old stuff. I picked up this bad boy for $80!
(https://s24.postimg.org/e3oigjrsl/mu_tron.jpg)
It works great, even though it is beat up. If I decide to keep it I'll have to have a new cable with a ground installed and possibly an input so that I could put it on my board. But if I sell it, which is what I'm leaning towards I should be able to get a decent return on it. But we'll see, it's a pretty cool pedal to own and this is the first time that I've ever seen an old Mutron in person.
The same guy had an old Roland Space echo 101 (without the tape) for $250 and a second generation Vox wah for $50. I was on the fence about picking up the space echo because those things go at least double that. He told me that he had the thing sitting in his closet for 25 years.

That Mutron is probably worth $300. I used to have one, it's 'chewy'. The AC cord and size make them impractical. I loaned mine to a friend, and he gave it away :(
I bought an Electro Harmonix Mole today (bass booster) I already have a DOD Meatbox, but I saw a cheap Mole online and always wanted to try it.

I had the LPB-1 for a while and swapped out input one of the input caps and realized that the Mole and Screaming Bird/Tree were all the same pedal. The only difference is the input/output caps located at the 1/4" jacks.

(https://s18.postimg.cc/cbcpqpcyx/IMG_0420.jpg)
This thing absolutely crushes any other American Fender jazz bass that I've owned. The neck is stupid fast , and the pickups are fantastic. I love not having to do shit to these basses outside of cosmetic stuff. The jazz came with all of the case candy and I can't find a single mark on the thing.

I freaking love GnL's basses....as if you couldn't tell. I've tried a few of the tribute models and they're the best budget bass that I've ever played. So whenever someone is looking for a new bass that's $500 and under I always recommend those things.

The second is a RAT clone but more of an overdrive too. Makes my old Marshall sound even more Marshall.

The new-ish Big Muff reissues (Green Russian and Op Amp) are great. I hated the NYC Muff and didn't like the Black Russian muff, but I really like these a lot. You can find them for $60 used or B-stock, including shipping. I haven't tried the Triangle Muff reissue, but if I see a deal on one, I'll buy it.

The other Muff reissues are selling for $60, but I only see the Triangle one for $80 so far. That one is germanium, supposed to be ideal for smoother for a 'violin' type tone - not really my style, but I would get one anyway, just to have it on hand.
The Green Russian muff is thick and burly, the Op Amp one really brings out the upper harmonics, or whatever you'd call it (the mids and highs sound awesome). But those two have a lot of overlap (you can get a lot of the Green Russian tones on the Op Amp Muff, and vice-versa, just by pushing the tone knob one way or the other).

You don't have to have an Imgur account unless you want to save your photos there for future reference. For disposable Imgur uploads with no sign-in, go here:
https://imgur.com/upload (https://imgur.com/upload)
After your pic is uploaded, click on it to "open in new window" (is that right click? I forget) and copy the address, which you paste in-between the img and /img tags. Your link must say .jpg or .gif at the end, otherwise it's not a direct link. Only direct links work.
Once you've done this a few times, it only takes 5 seconds.

I am acquiring new gear... a video glitch thing (low tech, which is fine for my needs). I want to start projecting video this year, maybe not all the time, but a lot more (I've done a little in the past). This one has a 1/4 audio input, which effects the glitching. I'll edit some footage and run it through this box.
Also, a small sound mangler which I found on Etsy (PLL and bit crusher type thing). And a couple of used stompboxes: Death By Audio Soundwave Breakdown, and Mid-Fi Electronics Random Number Generator. I need more ways to mangle my ordinary synth tones. Crossing my fingers that these will be useful (it's a bit of a crapshoot).

Scarlett 2i2. This is a huge step up from the Guitar Hero USB Mic and Blue Snowball podcasting mic I have always used in the past. No, I don't have any proper microphones to plug into it, but I am curious to finally experiment with Direct In and see what Logic's amp and cab modelling is capable of.

I have a bunch of guitars that are currently unplayable due to neglect and lack of playing. I've got two playable acoustics that I rarely play and two perfectly playable guitars. I mainly play my sunburst Les Paul but my Yamaha SBG is always ready to go if I want to play really high up on the fret board. By now I've prolly got more delay pedals than guitars. And I'm looking at another that I don't fucking need.

My dad handed me this a few days back, a 1963 Epiphone Professional an inheritance from my grandpa. I like to pretend I'm in a smokey bar jazz band or hook up a Boss distortion pedal. It has some odd quirkiness like the tremolo & reverb knobs are right in the way were your wrists needs to go. No ground so getting shocked is a fun little extra. The amp is controlled by the guitar and has no other knobs - just for standby, on/of.

Has a fender hi mass bridge. Seymor duncan pick up. Thin neck profile closer to a jazz bass. Its almost as if i designed the fucking thing.

I just picked up a Behringer SF300 Super fuzz so that I could spare the wear and tear on my Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz.
I must say the sound is very close. Maybe just a little more treble on the original. Nothing that can't be compensated for with tone adjustment.

I'm just using the pedal on it's own. It's an envelope filter but capable of so much more. I'm still scratching the surface in terms of all the things the pedal can do but at least now I know that it truly shines with distorsion/OD/fuzz when it's placed before them in the chain.

That's my first instrument. I play it upside down. Its more natural or me to hold it on the right for the lower stuff and do vibrato on the higher notes going the other way. I dunno but it works.

The Special 20 is a blues harp—it's even advertised as easy to bend. Anyway, I'm a stubborn sumbitch, so I'm getting closer now. I can bend 1/2 step when I get it right, which is maybe 1 outta 4 attempts.

Electro Harmonix released a "Rams Head" Big Muff reissue last week, so that makes four vintage Big Muff reissues. I have the other three (Green Russian, Op Amp, Triangle Muff) and they are all good, slightly different, and cheep (about $60 for a restock or lightly used one). I will probably get the Rams Head one too.

oh believe me, I do want to get one but right now everything is quite complicated around here due to the social crisis and the prices of pretty much everything imported skyrocketed because of that.
Not a problem. If you have to, trim back to basics. I just got a Kemper Stage but probably it's never going to sound/fell like a 50-100watt head/cab rig. So I live in luxury but it comes at a price. If I get in there (it has 4 expression pedal inputs) and wrestle-out a tune I'd be damn lucky to come out ahead. Usually, I get lucky. So aim for that.

I've got two. The other one is directly from the builder so it's just a plain aluminum box. I don't use it. I had a MV installed in the Marshall last year so I just use the gold one on the Orange to just shave a little off the top.

Yes, this Moog EP-3 Expression Pedal was in stock here (which is extremely rare) and it was only this one so I said "well, what the hell" and bought it. I have 3 pedals with an exp out jack (Moog Minifooger Trem, WMD Protostar and the Analog Man Dual Analog Delay) so there's a lot to experiment with it.

How's this working out? Kinda thinking maybe I'd get one for upstairs use. Not always in the mood to go downstairs and fire everything up and rage through the 100 watters. I wish the 50 had an external speaker jack. Looks like the 100 does but I don't really need all the features of that one.
Interested in your feedback.

It has worked really well. My only complaint is that it does not have a 1/4" out to add an extension cab. i'm going to add one, because this would sound awesome through a 4x12. Real spring reverb would be great, but that's because I like to bang the amp and use the spring clunk as music.
I've played on a few line 6 amps and some Zoom modeling stuff that sound good enough but feel disembodied. Sound good, but no response.
NOT THIS AMP. It is fairly intuitive too. It may the best practice amp ever made.
I use it in the 50W mode with a hard hitting drummer no problem, and sound like I've got a stack. If I owned this amp back in the Damnweevil days my bandmates would have had to fight me to convince me to drag around my V4 and two 4x12 cabs.
Even though this has plenty of effects and tones, I mostly treat it as a single channel amp. I get the most beautiful jcm800 crunch and then just roll back the guitar volume to clean up. All my usual outboard effect. I am no longer a tube purist after owning this amp.

The price is definitely right. I might just give it a rip. I have a VHT hand wired 6watt I need to play through again just to see if I really need another amp. Obviously the VHT doesn't have any effects or anything but I've got spare 4 or 5 overdrives and delays laying around at least. The Katana would nice and discreet in the corner. No pedals and cables on the floor. Make the wife happy.
Off topic kinda but at one point she said my Orange would look cool in the living room. So I thought if that was cool she'd certainly be ok with a JCM 800 combo in the corner. ????

What's the A mean, is that new? I have one that's a couple years old that's "SX"
I think they are great, except you can't adjust volume on the fly (when you're playing multiple samples, if you need to bring the volume of one up or down) and no fade ins (when you have multiple samples going, to have samples fade in and out). Otherwise I love mine.

Having fun with this so far. Doing some Lofi jazz hip hop loop stuff. Nothing new I know but it's helping me learn the thing. I've done more on this in less than a week than I did on the Octatrack in six months.

I'm interested in the Octatrack but not $800 interested. Did I say that already?
These Roland 404 loopers seem best for rhythm-oriented music, what with the abrupt stops/starts (as opposed to ambient music). They're great - I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use mine though. I think I can use it better, I mean.

Fuck the Octatrack. You have to have a certain brain to use their stuff is the general consensus. Though I've heard the digitakt is a bit easier to run. Don't know if I'll ever get any other Elektron stuff. Plus the tiny little screens and menu diving. Eeeesh.
You can def use the SP for ambient and other weird stuff. It's just the natural to loop something and put a 4/4 to it. With some outboard effects you can make some smooth transitions between "scenes" (Octatrack lingo). I just picked up two new 16 gig SD cards to load up with samples.
On my next days off I'm gonna set it up with my Korgs EMS and EMX with some outboard effects and see how well they play together.
Every time I buy something like this I have the delusion of playing out but that never happens. ????

Set up the new LP Jr. for drop-C tuning and dropped in a set of Ernie Ball Burly Slinkys. She's got a 1-piece wraparound bridge w/ the "lightning bolt," so intonation's not perfect, but 3/4 turn of the low-E side grubscrew has it close enough for now. If shit gets freaky, I'll get a replacement wraparound bridge with adjustable saddles.
The P-90 tone is massive, and despite the single pickup, the volume & tone controls provide a wide range of sounds. I've rolled the tone back to about 4 for the doomier stuff & move it up to 6 for more bite. Maple neck does not bother me in the least, and the profile is damn close to my SG Classic's neck. Lacquer is thinner than the SG (Gibson's "worn" finish). No belly cut, so I've slung the Jr. a little lower than the SG to keep my lowest rib happy.

I missed out on a cool noise synth this way too, it sold for half price. I'm certain I could have sniped it.

It's a one-knobber (I like simplicity for most pedals) and does like a couple of things pretty well I guess... 80s new wave chorus, metal chorus, and fake roto speaker (depending on the speed setting - depth is fixed).

Boss ES-5 Effects Switching System
(https://i.imgur.com/NDPddx0.jpeg)
So far it has been great, the only downside is the input buffer (it sucks) but you can turn it off. The features are very interesting and the creation (and editing) of patches is way easier than I thought.

Sure, the programming allows you to create and to store up to 200 patches (a patch is a combination of loops). This is my current setup:
(https://i.imgur.com/ifyWxxG.jpg)
Loop 1: MJM Roctavios (Octavia) and MJM London Fuzz (Ge Fuzz Face)
Loop 2: MJM London Fuzz II (Si Fuzz Face) and Sunmachine Reptile Fuzz (a smoother and darker kind of fuzz)
Loop 3: Sixties Vibe (uni-vibe) and Protostar (envelope filter)
Loop 4: Minifooger Tremolo and ARDX20 Dual Analog Delay (Ibanez Chorus Mini connected to the delay's effects loop)
Loop 5: Boss Loop Station
The wah is placed first in my chain before the ES-5.
The ES-5 organizes the patches into 3 categories: groups, banks and patch number. The device contains 8 groups with 5 banks inside each group and 5 patches inside each bank. The Manual mode lets you use the switcher in a typical way, in where each numered footswitch turns their correspondent loop on/off, whereas the Memory Mode lets you use the footswitches to turn each patch on/off.

LOL, the infamous tray is still here (after all these years) because I was unsure about how many pedals I truly wanted to get and also due to the fact that some of my pedals uses carbon batteries. I would love to get something simple and easy to find like a Pedaltrain but I need to get the virtual batteries from The GigRig first, to see if they can work well with my fuzzes in order to keep everything connected 24/7. Otherwise, I would have to get a different kind of pedalboard that allows me to unscrew the bottom plate of the pedals without having to remove them from the pedalboard and therefore stressing the velcro.

Yes. He's got an effects looper there but he could add a looper pedal and have it constantly on in one of the effects loop spots and grab it anytime????
Yes, excellent explanation. :)

I bought one of these yesterday from a local guy (we maintained our distance). GAS during a global pandemic. Mine is the current small box version. Supposed to be part muff, part superfuzz with the EQ from the HM-2 (fuck if I know)

Pedals pedals pedals. Love em. Prolly have too many.
Speaking of GAS at the wrong time, I've been looking at CL and seeing some good deals. I'd feel bad about cashing in on this stuff but then these peeps prolly need the dough. I'm torn. I could maybe buy this old Marshall bottom cab and maybe sell it back to him for same price when shit's back to normal. I don't know dammit.

CIOKS DC7 power supply

So far so good, it's fully isolated I already felt a difference compared to the T-Rex Chameleon, it's dead quiet and I don't hear that noise produced by the speed of the vibe pedal.

Speaking of Waza craft. Have you seen these? Debuted at NAMM 2020. Not sure I'd need them but seem kinda cool. This video is kinda wordy but they did what I was immediately thinking by plugging it into a pedal board or a synth. Anyways.

Those headphones look cool - I hadn't seen them before. $399 at Musicians Fiend. Headphones wear out though - the ear pads break down, etc. I wonder if they have a way to replace those parts.

So far both CIOKS units are amazing and an obvious improvement compared to my previous power supply (T-Rex Fuel Tank Chameleon). The Chameleon features six outputs but only two of them are isolated and shouldn't be used simultaneously, whereas CIOKS DC7 and 8 Expander delivers a total of 15 fully isolated outputs. The Chameleon allows to change the voltage of four outputs from 9 to 12 volts and one output from 9 to 18 volts, the last output is 12 volts AC only. Both CIOKS units can modify the voltage of all outputs from 9, 12, 15 and up to 18 volts. The Chameleon delivers 300mA when using 9 or 12 volts and 150mA when output #4 is set to 18 volts. Both CIOKS units delivers 660mA (9 volts), 500mA (12 volts), 400mA (15 volts) and 330mA (18 volts)... oh, and the DC7 features a 5V USB port so you can charge your phone and the 24V DC output to connect the 8 or 4 Expander. So yes, they're great.

I'd got one of the EH Canyon delay/looper. Mostly because I wanted something with a smaller footprint than my SD Deja Vu or a Memory Man. It works well enough, no surprises. It's one of those multi effect boxes that does many things "so-so", but does no one thing awesome. However my biggest complaint is that it's graphics are almost unreadable. Even close up, in full light, with my reading glasses.

Exactly what I thought it would be. I thought oh 1200 for both. That means he wants 400 for the cab. Totally doable. So I did. Full Orange stack now.
I really wanted that Marshall cab too. To finish off my Marshall stack. He'll have another one. I bought my top cab from him. The bottom cab was probably 700 no speakers 1200 with I'd bet.
He's had that Marshall cab for a while too. I just felt like spending money last night.

That delivery fail is weird.
I was mildly surprised that Benson put the preamp in that pedal. Interesting colab. I had a Soldano-Caswell X99 which had motorized pots - all analog, digitally controlled. 99 presets or something. Wish I still had that one.

It's a '68-'69 1960B bottom cab with UK Greenbacks.
But....... just heard back and the consignor changed his mind about selling. He's gonna gave it restored instead. So the search continues.

I'm looking for the MXR Micro Chorus, the kind that Judas Priest allegedly uses. One knob (speed). I think Andy Summers used it too? Mono all the way. Reverb says they are supposed to be like 50 bucks but everybody is asking for like 65 (or more). Annoying.
Also want a Sennheiser e906 microphone, I saw a used one on the Guitar Center website for almost half price of new but by the time I figured out how to buy it, it was gone.
I don't know if I wanna spend 6 months shopping for deals. You either gotta spend time, or money.

That micro chorus sounds like the ticket! If I see one will BM you. Right, Andy Summers - same chorus eh? Famous one. Priest! I've got an old '60's "Pink Floyd Sennheiser", the 409 in the retirement funds box. (lol, kooky).

To mic a guitar cabinet for recording. I was using a SM57 and 58 (because that's what I have on hand). There's a YouTube demo showing the 906 straight on (panned to left channel) and the 57 off-axis (right channel) both close miked and it sounds really good. (It may be a SoundCloud clip, I forget). The mics sound slightly different, and when combined together it sounds really nice.

I made an offer on that MXR chorus on Ebay, and they accepted. I forgot about tax again though, so still a little too expensive.
Looking at equipment on Ebay, everybody thinks their old equipment like DOD pedals etc. are worth 50-60 bucks (or more) now. A big part of the appeal of these pedals was the budget prices.

Played this pedal half the day at work saving several presets and going back and forth. The true test is tomorrow and my next days off but it's main heart in the Benson preamp from the Chimera. So at its base it's already killer. Then you have fuzz modes and slots for saved presets. 30 of them. And local and global expression pedal settings. Mid cut settings Etc...

Yes. Programmable globally or locally. Just one slider or multiple. You could one setting at full toe and a different one at full heel. It also excepts CV. So in theory, depending on the CV amount, you could connect an LFO of whatever wave shape I think to control one or more of those sliders. I haven't tested that yet. I'm wondering if sample and hold would too much for it. Gotta do the math on that.
I've got Tuesday and Wednesday off so I'll be diving deep into it.

Just, No. Sample and hold automation of the motors? No. :(
Its exactly why I have a huge problem with that pedal conceptually. It's actually more than a little embarrasing. Or worse, anathema to guitar playing, at its core. The meer fact that it has 30 presets is a joke. The Soldano X99 had 99 presets of which 5 or 6 were needed. No one needs even fucking 10 EQ presets! Not even 5 FFS. Grrrrr >:(

The more I play this Automatone preamp pedal the more I like it. You know how you're always tweaking the knobs of whatever overdrive You're using? You'd spend an hour futzing around with 3 pedals. Depending on the day, the weather, how hot your amp is, what amp you're using, what you're playing, etc......? It's nice to just think let's try this and hit the switch and soon you're in the sweet spot and inspiration sparks. Maybe roll back the frequency with the expression pedal a bit or whatever setting you want.

Also, the same buddy who gave back that sunn cab just offered me his fender champ clone that I built for him a long time ago. All hand wired point to point on turret board. It's housed in a hatchet job headshell, not pretty, but functional. I just ordered a custom headshell from my buddy Kenny, so it'll have something nice in a week or so.
The amp totally rips. Sounds amazing and is super fucking loud, especially given that it's only 15 watts.

Champs are 15 watts? Had an og one waaaaaaaaaay back. 60's version. I was a kid. Prolly traded it for a Peavey or something don't remember. That's a rad amp to build. Going with black tolex or tweed?
I'm telling ya that guitar ain't bad for the price. It'll never be my #1 or #2 , that's reserved for my LP
classic and 82 SG600, but it still isn't bad. It's got their Crunchy Pat p/u's in it. They're cheap and microphonic.
I ordered the VEH high output ones to try for 34.95. I'll be surprised if I like them. If I don't I'll buy another SH-18. I like that p/u a lot.
WGS Green Berets show up tomorrow for the new old Marshall bottom cab so it'll be loading speakers and moving/stacking re stacking cabs day. Found out the guy that owned it before the guy that had it before me I know. He's an amp tech and he brought my Marshall head back to life 12 years ago when I got it. We used to play in a band together 20 years ago. Small world.

Champs are usually 5 watts, but this one (the byoc clone) is upgraded to 15, all that means from an amp circuit standpoint is an upgraded output transformer and a 6l6 instead of 6v6 for the power tube, everything else is the same.
The new headshell is black tolex with all silver accents, and a PV style springy handle with silver endcaps. Totally not fender style, a custom one through and through, touches of Marshall and Sunn.

I'd might try it in a 4x10 ceramic speaker but with several wool moving blankets draped over it. Maybe 3-4 of 'em. Or oooh, a 1x15?

I got this 212 subwoofer that is supposed to be for an automobile.
My idea, for shits and giggles, was to add it to the bass rig. I have a QSC poweramp with an XLR input. So in addition to playing through my usual 115 cabinet, I was going to send the direct out from my bass amp into the QSC and then into the subwoofer.
Bad or good idea?

Are you lacking speaker outs? Why bother with the extra power amp? Maybe check your speaker impedance to your amp. But otherwise it will probably work ok down to 2 or 4 ohms.

You can try your subwoofer with the bass rig but I will wouldn't spend much money trying to make it work. Car audio and pro audio/live music are pretty different. What will probably happen is that the extra speakers won't really make a difference, you can turn the subs on and off while you're playing and barely notice, making the extra effort (carrying them to the gig, taking up space in the jam room, extra pack space in the car) not worth it. There's a guideline in audio that in order to make a hearable difference in your bass equipment you have to double the speakers. That's true for subwoofers anyway. The sub won't be as loud as your bass cab and doesn't serve as a double of the bass cab. I would sell the car subs and spend that money helping to buy a second 1x15 that matches the cab you have (if that makes sense with your amp) or maybe use the sub in your car (why not?) or maybe use it with your home entertainment setup? That might not work either, I don't know.
I would certainly try it, if it doesnt mean buying anything expensive though.
I have four 1x18 subwoofers for my electronics setup for if I'm playing a place with a shitty PA and no subwoofers. I tried adding one more subwoofer - a special one with a servo speaker that goes extra low - and when the other subs were raging I'd turn the new one on and off and not hear a difference. In order to make the next step up in perceptible volume I'd need another 4 subs. The extra effort to carry another sub with its own amp and then spend time hooking it up wasn't going to be worth it. (I started with two subs, then I found a great deal on two more so I said why not. But I'm not going to buy another 4 more, or carry 8 subs to a gig, so I'm done trying to expand)

The impedence is indeed what I was worried about, the subwoofer cabinet is rated at 2 ohms and my amp wants at least 4, so that's why I was bringing the poweramp into it.

Lumpy, my friend had a wicked 389 400 Firebird, looked stock but was so well tuned. I drove it a few times but never got on it. It was a big block afterall and I was never a fool on the street. I would have needed seat time with it first. Guessing it was a reliably low mid-12 second in the quarter car. My other friends were regularily twisting axles (the guy hooked up seriously, but twisted Ford 9" axles, yikes) or blowing up something in the rear, snapping u-joints whathaveyou at the line. My cars were unique but not really baddass. Well, except for the stupid one with a corvette engine swap in a Vega. Subframe and all to prevent twisting the unibody, Ford rearend etc. Ratchet shifter automatic. That one was interesting, a headscratcher, basically a drag car with fender well cuttouts to fit the narrowed 9" and tires and everything. The best part about it was the sound. Not much else of it made any sense but that's what kids did back then right? Those were good times.
Sorry for the off topic, jusy a little trip down memory lane...
The Bird looked like this. '68

Whoah 
I will be soon getting a rack mount EQ to tune in my crummy studio monitors.
Every initial mix I've done for the past 10 years has sounded great on headphones and the monitors but sounds like mud on any car stereo to the point you have to turn the bass down or risk damaging the speakers at higher volume.
Whatever sounded perfect I would have to go back and turn the bass track down a click or two and reduce overall low end by 40%
Thought my digital 8-track was the main culprit. But no, it's been my crummy studio monitors all along.
And a used rack mount EQ is cheaper than better monitors.

While you're waiting for your hardware to arrive... couldn't you put an EQ on your master track for monitoring purposes, which you remove before doing your final bounce? That's better than cheap, it's free.

A Plush is cabinet probably not worth pursuing except for the novelty of it. The padding absorbs sound and adds weight, and the original speakers wouldn't be anything special. So if you're going to use different speakers, why put them in a cabinet like that, except unless you think it's fun to have a matching set. Which I could understand. The upholstery is so wrong that it's right. A lot of the upholstered cabinets are chewed up because they were hard to move and the dings can really show, as rips and scuffs.

It would be more novelty to have a matching cab. I doubt it would have any bearing on the overall sound other than how the cab is engineered and constructed. It's a cheap knock off of a Twin so I doubt the cab would be anything special but just kinda neat to look at.
I still haven't dialed in a sound I like other than clean clean clean with that reverb and trem. Which is not my go to approach.

Get a Plush cab and do an A/B test with your other cabs, or run white noise through different cabs, record and compare waveforms in Logic or another DAW. Report back!
Back in the day, someone nearby was giving away an Earth 2x15 cab which matched my B2000 head (black, the best color). Of course I grabbed it. The drivers died within a couple days. I tried to offer the empty box to a nearby music store, and they declined.

beautiful. what do you like better the marshalls or the orange?
best sounding cab i ever bought was a used ampeg 4x10. i got it at a music store in phoenix. happed to be out near the place doing deliveries and figured id stop. had no intent on buying anything. a friend was working there at the time and he cut me a deal. i think i paid 250. its a usa made ampeg, year unknown, built like a piece of military equipment. awesome sounding cab. i was playing through a genz benz stack prior to buying the ampeg. the ampeg was so much better. i want to say this was like 2000 maybe 2001.
funny thing is about a year ago i was cleaning it and i pulled the grill off. i noticed the wood where the speakers were in was split. not sure why i never noticed it in all the years. probably had been dropped. its still my main cab to this day. bottom cab. the top is a chinese 1x15.

I love them both. They're so different. The big difference is I have to use an overdrive in front of the Marshall to get what I want and I don't want anything in front of the Orange.
I told my guy to alert me of any HIWATT stuff. My wife is probably concerned. I keep telling her it's money in the bank. When I croak she gets it all.
I think I have a Hartke 4x10 or maybe it's a 1x15 somewhere. It's yours if you want it.

I like the pegboard, I don't have any but I'm big on hooks and shelves. If I need a short cable, I don't want to dig it out of a box of spaghetti cables. That kind of stuff makes me want to die. I know a lot of people roll like that though.

Ive only once seen a band where the 'bassist' played one of those. It was a fender. Super deep thick bass tones and he was running some sort of fuzz pedal. Sounded great.
The thing was, he didnt do anything that he couldnt have done on a normal 4 string bass.
If you have one of those, make sure you write some shit that utilizes the range of that instrument.

HIWATT in good company. Jolly group of lads.
This is by far the best combo amp I've ever owned. I could sell off the other big stuff when I'm too old to move that shit around but I'd keep this. Bad fucking ass. Wow! Even bigger through that 1x12. I might by a REEVES 2x12 though I'm thinking.

That bridge looks massive (so that's good)
I like green but not that "70s kitchen" green.

Huh. Interesting take/observation and comparison to that Orange. Even my 72 Orange has a circuit board. People always think they're ptp. The Marshall is ptp.
The inside of the HIWATT is a masterpiece of simplicity and cleanliness. That's probably why it's so quiet. But you touched on a point there. These were made my Music Ground in Doncaster at the time. HIWATT has changed hands many times over the years after Dave Reeves untimely demise. I used to post on several vintage amps forums so about 2010 I think Music Ground was roundly sued for lashing up faux vintage amps and selling for big money. Kirk Hammett was one of the bigger names that got duped. The manufacture of the HIWATTs was not part of the nefarious shenanigans though. They were honestly built just like the old ones but use Heyboer trannys instead of Partridges like the old ones.
Nowadays it's not quite clear who owns HIWATT. That being said, if I were to want to go big HIWATT I would either get a real vintage DR or CP but those are a good bit of money. If I were to want a new HIWATT repop I would go REEVES, HI-TONE, or Hylight. I think the original parent company was called Hylight. This is just rehashing the old name but that same old HIWATT quality wiring.

Although EL84's aren't my first choice I have zero complaints. At 20 watts this thing is loud! And super quiet at idle and there is a smoothness about it. Like how a super smooth sine wave is pleasing.
It could be modded for 6v6's but I won't. No reason to.

I'm just used to big bottles only cuz I normally play through 100 watters but this HIWATT is not lacking at all. It might be too clean for peeps that like saturation. I prefer more clean and overdriven. It makes me play harder and the slop stands out so THAT makes me try to play better.

+1 to James1214 chef's kiss re: Hiwatt wiring.
As Miles Davis would say, that is "clean as a motherfucker."
I have recently acquired a table saw, which means I'll be building roadcases again.
First projects are a new pedalboard for myself and a bandmate. Then cases for those to go in (I am abandoning the pop-the-lid-and-rock design I've been using almost 20 years in favor of a board that goes in a padded case, because almost 20 years of using previous design haha ugh)
Then a new Marshall headcase and two combo amp roadcases.

Also, the rack EQ I added to "tune up" my studio monitors is working great.
Pretty eye opening to get a mix where it should be and remove the low frequencies that don't need to be there and even turn the bass track down a touch as it's pretty pumping as-is.
Then I turn the EQ off... and it's like someone turned off the subwoofers at a show.
Headphones still sound great (that mix is *before* the EQ), but studio monitors sound flat and dead.
No wonder it felt like I had to *add* bass to everything, then listen to it in my car and the general mix is mud and the bass track is stupid loud.
These monitors suck for low end. But getting an EQ was cheaper than replacing them

That reminds me the DC-30 was the only amp my dog would walk up to and put his nose in the grill when I was playing! Wasn't cranked up loud but it was unbelieveable (to me). Every other amp he'd look at sidewise and stay back including the AC-30. But the Mathcless he'd walk up to. I have no clue why, maybe it was the EF86? Still makes me smile though. Great amp, by the way. Matchless has that new 6V6 amp out, Laurel Canyon. Pretty sweet. Back to the the EL84's though - the Z-Wreck looks interesting.

Can never have too many mic stands, and these all have telescoping booms. And it's just time for a mic case. Plus it's water proof.
The vocal mic stand I liked was $65 each, but they had a 2 for $80 deal on those \m/,

I got a focusrite scarlett 8i6 3rd gen and installed the software and it says No Hardware Detected, so I'm wondering if their support team will contact me back or if there's web videos for this issue.
If your computer is recent, go on the Focusrite website and download the most recent drivers. Sometimes the software that comes in the box is not totally up to date. If you have an older computer then I don't know. See if your computer's specs match the system requirements listed on their website.

I'm wondering if these work from home apps have firewalls that are blocking my focusrite drivers. It's beyond me. Already spent hours researching and trying.
Focusrite support finally messaged back and sent me back to their article that I tried already where it says to contact them if it doesn't help. Going around in circles. About to delete the work from home stuff, put it on so long ago I forget where to put it all back on, never used it on this computer yet, it's my backup.
Looked up computer doctors, recording studios, but first emailed guitar center to see where they would suggest I go. It's missing something, I'm not downloading anything from a YouTube instructional video from random dipshits Google put on top of the page to control us. I can tell from the videos, and past experiences from YouTube videos, bad idea.

Fixed, I called focusrite tech support and they remotely took over my computer, my work from home crap wouldn't allow anything to pass so it needed removed. Now I'm learning pro tools, just made a track, will learn how to edit and store later. Major progress.

Walrus Audio Phoenix, can power up to 15 pedals.
Can continue construction of my new pedalboard now, which will have a tier on the back which will have to be built around the power supply

that' build is rather impressive^
Here's my 2003 SG with RS Kit - it might be called the Headhunter or Hillbillly something. a signature set they did. I thought there were PIO but maybe not,. Not sure who last soldered this, two people have been in it but you can see the massive contrast to the Emerson factory solder science HAHAHA. What fun!

After like 4 months my sweetwater/behringer firesale order finally arrived. Plan on really only using them as recording pedals, although I already might put the compressor on the board as an always on type of thing.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210421/9bd1f93b1c85b99ebf3a3e24e009b093.jpg)

I like the Behringer Super Fuzz (for $28 it's great) and I have the HM300 Heavy Metal (Boss HM-2 clone, it's a little bit too trebly but also $28, so...)
What is the Ultra Metal, is it a Metal Zone clone? I'd buy a Boss Metal Zone but it's hard to find a cheap used one. They used to be $20-$30 used, now they're almost the same price as a new one when you add in postage.

If not mistaken those were hard (impossible) to get back in the day, maybe thinking of another pedal.
I had an MT-2 but couldn't make it work with my setup at the time, so I got a RAT and voíla! Sold both, probably should have kept the RAT. Looking at a clone to replace it. Weird, because I need it less now that I did then but if I can get an amazing clone then...

I've got a 1981DRV which is supposed to be a RAT clone but I don think it sounds like one. It pretty much just sits there. Cool looking though. I use my crazy super cool one with the motorized faders on my Marshall and a MR. Black Super Extra Five Thousand on my HIWATT.

After almost buying a sandberg 48 at GC a few weeks ago, I came across a custom one that was sent to Chicago music exchange. It was the coolest looking instrument that I have ever seen. Well two days later the damn thing popped up on reverb.
I kept going back and forth about it until I was convinced by the wife and my guitar player just to buy the fucking thing. So I did...

This thing is rad AF. Not only is it in Gulf Livery (I had the matching gt40 matchbox when I was a kid) but it is basically a more modern t bird.

I always thought clip-on tuners were dumb for some reason, but I bought one and I love it. Most of my practice is unplugged, and it's so much easier not plugging into a tuner, or trying to remember where I set the tuner down. There are tuner apps but I've never tried one. I got the Korg "Sledgehammer Pro" (dumb name for a tuner) and it works better than some of the cheaper tuner pedals I've tried, including the Boss TU-2. I paid about $22 including shipping. I wouldn't play a gig with one attached to my instrument, but for practice it's great.

I did, the Reeves Gabrels. I've been dreaming of a dedicated wiggler setneck for a long time and after a 6pack smashed the cart. If worse comes to worse I can just hang it on the wall. Candy metallic of some sort. Man, the wiggler bar is a hair-trigger!! but it snaps right back. Pin lock tuners, set up for 9's. I never played 9's before, well, once, but usualy 10's or 11's. The 11's days are long gone. I haven't played, for recording, for ages, so have to woodshed for awhile.

The body is more compact than my thunderbirds. In fact I'd say overall it's like an updated version of one.
It sounds great. It definitely has more of a modern sound than my other basses, especially when in active mode.
It's a really sick instrument. And even if I hated the way that it played and sounded I'd probably still keep it because of how cool looking it is. :)

That is weird and seems to just invite damage. The cheapo I bought from GFS came in the case even though the case is sold as a separate product.
That's true and I did notice a few lines around the body surrounding the area where the neck is bolted-on to the body, but I'm not sure if they're just a cosmetic detail or signs of a deeper problem... at least the guitar feels very solid so far.

If it stays in tune and the intonation is true and you are happy with your purchase then it is of no consequence in my thinking. Rock on! And let's hear some more fuzz solos.
I have a bit commander that is a lot of fun. I should upload a video.

$59 worth about $479 in today's money, according to this inflation calculator (i estimated the date of the ad to be 1967).
The $199 "bass package" with amp cost about $1589 in today's money, and the amp was probably not very good.

Was going to the shop to get an update on my Showman combo.
Have rehearsals by end of month and gigs next month I'll need a combo amp for.
Saw this. Tried it. Liked it. They let it go for $475 :D
Early 80s Artist 4203 30w 1x12 combo w/V30. Tube power section, hybrid SS/tube preamp.
Will be using it as a clean pedal platform. But holy shit the gain channel is tits! \m/,

Cool. Nice score. I've got the head version 3203 and also love the diode clipping front end. I'd kinda rather have the combo, the head is wider (by the looks of it?), takes up more space than I like.
This isn't mine but I saved the pic because of the patching. What does that do? Let us know!

Looks like that jumps together the effects loop.
I'll have to try that...
I've already pulled the chassis (twice) and clipped out C13 to darken the tone a bit.
Ordered a NOS Mullard 12at7 meant for my JCM800, but I'll try it on this guy first (lower gain phase inverter tube)
And this one came with a V30. Stock speaker is a G-75, which if this amp had I may not have gotten it...
Edit: the stock speaker is actually a G12-65 which according to a reliable source sounded quite nice. But I am a V30 guy, so...

Sears and Wards sold a lot of guitars after the Beatles got popular. I think Global and Silvertone were department store brands too.
I bought one of those old tulip style guitars a few years ago, it was pretty terrible. If I was a better guitar player, maybe I could have made it work for me, but no. My cheap Squiers were much better guitars.

Got this sonofabitch out of the trash pile at the studio, had no speakers but the amp works. It's actually a bastardized combo, as this originally would have had a 134 amp in it, and the 150 is a standalone head, the only major difference between them being the number on the front.
Jumped on a BOGO on some Jensen's and now all that's left is some wiring.
I'm slowly growing quite the ACC collection, I'm up to 3 heads, 2 cabs and now this combo.... (Plus a full stable of other amps)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210519/b9f8dc59547fac6caa0bbb60db5596e9.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210519/706db0fc281724cc1675fd108a110bc1.jpg)

Actually, it's a guitar combo with 10s. And it is absolutely brand new speakers, the amp has reverb and tremolo on the second channel. I'll see about doing some kind of recording once it's all up and running and broken in.

Muffin man, not optimistic about what in particular?
I break in my speakers using my 5 watt Hotone Vox AC clone, play riffs up and down the neck on my looper and run it face down on the floor for 30-40 hours over the course of a week, that's all I've ever done. Has worked a treat the half a dozen times I've done it.

Love to hear that amp. Is it solid state? I ended up with an VT-22 but was looking for the 4x10 Ampeg. Both too loud for my use case/home recording. I don't think I'ever heard an Acoustic in person nor would be able to recognize it speaking today. Anywho, sorry I flaked out but lets see how that baby sounds. It looks really cool. One of a kind then?

I adore acoustic amplifiers, their bass amplifiers are obviously pretty legendary. And the guitar amps are basically exactly the same except they add a bright switch and throw in reverb and sometimes tremolo. This one is mid 70s based on the knobs. All of their amplifiers of this era were solid state. My main guitar rig is a 1976 Acoustic 230 head and 2 412 cabs.
Once it's all broken in I'll definitely do a demo.

Yes, it is one of a kind. So that's kind of cool. My original plan was to just chop the cab and use it as a head, but I don't have a single guitar cabinet that's rated for 200 Watts, so I decided to throw the speakers in it and be able to use it that way. I'll probably end up using my 230 and use that with a single 412, and then use the combo as well. The band has been experimenting with dual rigging and a lot of stereo effects for that big spatial audio thing. So this would be really cool in that context

Unfortunately everything " acoustic" that's been sold at Guitar Center is really only stylistically related to the old stuff, doesn't really share much of this DNA that made the acoustic control corporation amplifiers magical. That may be a bit of a douchebag cork sniffer attitude but, when the OG badass stuff can be had for significantly less money, sounds better, and is built like a goddamn tank. I think that somebody somewhere got it wrong

I bought a new, and much bigger board in order to fit the sampler pedal that I just picked up.
The thing has a wacky power supply and stupid interface. But it does what I need it to do and sounds surprisingly good

I bought a Roland Jazz Chorus 40 for doing clean overdubs in the studio. The thing sounds amazing, the chorus is rich and really creates a three dimensional sound field. It's also surprisingly loud and a good clean pedal platform. Driving it with this Bogner Burnley distortion pedal basically nails the early Black Sabbath tone.

Right-O they do. Is the Gallien Krueger a stereo amp with more than one speaker? I'm not familiar.....

Just had maybe my greatest gear score ever.
$50. Old dude kicked the bucket and the family is clearing his spot out.
I offered more, but they were happy that it was going to a musician. Kinda riding a high right now. Can't wait to plug the Maestro in and see what she does.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211119/b999d85a49c775ea2bc456e49bbc5a08.jpg)

Also, the death metal pedal is pretty dope in the fx loop, acting as a preamp. Which is how I generally use my HM-2 or any other extreme metal distortion.

New Kluson tuners are perfect drop in and are working awesome. I used the idea bushings and the old screws. Old screws are better quality.
I also bought the $99 JHS phaser but got a discount so it was $84 plus shipping. It'll be here Tuesday.

Not new, have had it for a long time but never needed it.
Until I needed to run sound for an event.
Old school Peavey CS-800!
Turns out it still works, sounds great, and weighs a goddamn ton.
But allows me to use my fancy schmancy Presonus digital board instead of my old school Samson 6-channel powered mixer that I've had since like 1996.

I dont want to use my dod pedals any longer. Not because i dont like them but because they are all, i guess, fairly vintage. I purchased most of them in the late 80s early 90s and for the most part they all still work AND i have all the original boxes. Its kind of dawning on me that these are valuable now.

Anyways. Play those things man! The most valuable of yours is probably the FX13.
I've got an $800 overdrive on my board. My Moog delay on my synth rig keeps going up in price currently about $2k. Shit. You know what amps I have. My point is that they are made to play. So play em. The old stuff is easily repairable too.
Fuck it.

I'm a fucking beast with my wah because I tend to rock the pedal too fast so it's not a bad idea to have a few pot replacements right here at home.

I'm stocking up on "secret weapon" pedals for the Black Pyramid album that we're recording this Spring.
Picked up a Death By Audio Fuzz War, which I love, as well as a Keeley Bubbletron, which I dig. I'm not exactly sure how I'm going to use it, but the "step" filter feature is pretty cool, as are the envelope follower controlled phase and flange settings. It's a bit strange, as I actually pitched a whole pedal line to an electrical engineer, my ideas for the line were basically adding envelope follower rather than strictly potentiometer controlled settings. So it's super weird utilizing a new pedal with the options I'd visualized more than a decade ago.
I also ordered a Farm Fly Agaric Phaser.....anyone familiar with this thing? Dual phaser with just two rate knobs and a "heart" switch that inverts one of the phase speeds for Leslie style rotary type effects. Everything else is preset to a very "musical" voicing - it doesn't get too weird and wild with the depth and resonance. The pedal's true beauty is the weird harmonics, overtones and nodes created by the dualing phases. The demos on Youtube sound friggin' amazing, and they're made by this dude in Maine who does actually run a farm as well. Price point wasn't bad for a small run, hand-made pedal.
Anyone else familiar with the Fly Agaric? I cannot wait to use this on a recording, may very well go on my new live board as well.

I have a Boss tr2, and the BYOC brown face, I like both. The tr2 is a standard term, works great. The brown face is a harmonic tremolo, sounds kinda unique, like a combo trem and phaser, I also like it a lot. Although, I kinda stopped using both recently, as my Acoustic combo has trem and verb on board and they sound killer.

I've been getting into harmonic tremolos.
"Harmonic tremolo functions similarly to standard tremolo, but the high and low frequencies are offset from each other. The signal is split and sent separately through high- and low-pass filters. Then, these signals are offset by 180 degrees.
Since the highs and lows are out of phase with each other, the higher frequencies will ring through when the lows are cut by the tremolo, and vice versa. This results in a much smoother tremolo effect, with less of a perceivable variation in volume."

1968-69 Peavey Concert 100, 100 watt combo, with a single altec Lansing 15" speaker. Apparently these were the first combos they ever made, and each one was a totally custom order. I have a buddy who works at Peavey and says it was almost certainly built by Hartley himself.
It's in amazingly good condition, just dusty.
Verb and trem work just fine. Gets some good speaker breakup when the volume gets up to 4-5.
Definitely gonna have my amp guy do a once-over on it just to be certain I don't blow it up, and to add a grounded cord. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220213/4cc892dbc7bbb195f52bc313f7e43da3.jpg)

Just picked this up this morning. Small 4x12 (8412). Bought it just out of nostalgia. Bought for the guitar player in an old Portland band (Sprinkler) by Sub Pop in '91 to tour with. Also used in Guided By Voices and Svelt. Didn't need but kinda impulse bought.

Scored an Acoustic 450 from 75 (I think) and a newer vintage (mid 2000s) Acoustic 410 the other day for $125. The 450 is definitely I'm need of new caps, but everything seems to be good on it. The cab works, doesn't really have the mojo, but is totally fine. The ACC collection grows, I need no more amps, but like Pokemon I gotta catch them all.... Been having some serious gear luck the last couple months. I'm up 3 bitchin' combos and 2 half stacks.
I'll post photos of the recent score tomorrow.

Just got my tax return so ordered a new Iceman case from Sweetwater.
It was time.
Main case dates from 1996 and is falling apart even tho I glued it back together.
Other iceman case is the original 79 and I don't want to fuck it up any more than it already is.
Should be here Friday!

Iceman case came in.
I'm admittedly disappointed the inside isn't Iceman shaped (more of a rectangle the iceman fits into rather than form-fitting like the 1996 case) haha
But hey. It doesn't open like an old book if you let go of the top when you open the case

Did I tell you all that I had one of the those Chicago Iron replicas of the classic Tychobrahe Parawah made for me?
It's badass, and an amazing recreation of the original. Apparently Tony Iommi has one of these as well, and he likes it better than the original he was using in the 70's.

That's awesome. One of their Octavia's would be cool too.
Got a new guitar. Actually 2. Ha! Stumbled on some YouTube videos of these Kramer Baretta Specials. For under $200!?!? All of the videos are people raving about how good they are for the money and a great platform for mods. So I bought one. It came. I set it up quickly and agreed that yes it's a great guitar. So I bought another.
Total 80's shredder. One p/u one knob. I think I'll hard tail one and Floyd the other. There's a treble bleed cap on the volume for some dumb reason so there's no sweep at all. Just on off pretty much. Snip that off. Set it up and work the nut a bit or replace it with a Graph Tech. Change out the tremolo block with a beefier one and you're good.
Lot of people are changing out the bridge, pickup,tuners, volume pot, nut.... Even the frets?!? Well there goes the cheap guitar. I'm not doing all that. Gonna try and work with what I have for the most part.

Swapping the volume pots for better ones is a good idea if you use the volume knob at all. Cheap too. $12-15 for a good pot.

Got new trem blocks in the mail yesterday so I'll be doing those and pots today.
While I've got them apart I'll do some nut work and other stuff. Time for more coffee.

Bought a cheapo electronic drum kit for my kid to learn on. Simmons SD600.
It was an open box at GC. They had 4 of those boxes. The brain module won't turn
on. Took it back, dude there grabbed another, tried it in the store, same thing.
The manual says to hook it up to all the pads to power it on, so he told me to take
it back and try doing that. Fairly confident it wouldn't do the trick, I did and it still
doesn't work. It's a soft switch that powers it on, and it turns off after 5 min of nothing happening. I can't help but think there's something I'm missing. But the manual isn't any help, and the internet I can't find anything either.
Anyone run in to this?

Looks like thier latest firmware is Aug 2020. https://simmonsdrums.net/downloads/
Might try a factory reset and/or re-install the firmware?
" * You can also reset the module to factory settings by holding + and – while turning the power on "
another thought - maybe it has a watch/button battery inside that went dead. I've got some gizmo around here where if the batt goes the circuit wont work.

Not sure how I could load the firmware without power to the unit. Perhaps phantom power on the usb port. I'll check into that.
Tried the reset, no dice. Not going to crack the case open to look for a button battery while I can still return it.
Thanks though, those are good ideas.

Last night dude tried a one spot in its place, didn't work. Today, different dude tried an oem power supply. Did the trick.

Good deal.
A synthesizer module or two I've bought lately came with the bog standard wall wart, OEM, and noise was an issue. Common issue with cheapo units. Calling the builder/designer resulted in recommendation for upgraded part number. Meanwell brand is often mentioned as an upgrade - $25 wall wart or line-lump but quieter/better audio. A thread I've been following has guys chasing medical grade supplies for the black backround etc.

I wouldn't think the bad OEM, but perhaps that one spot was the other way from the OEM.

I have a couple of those multi ones with reverse polarity switch, different voltages and connections.

I didn't realize layaway was still a thing but that's some motivation! While the newer import Jackson's are actually well made I'd still make sure to set it up (or get it set up) properly, the biggest issue with most inexpensive guitars is they tend come with issues, as there isn't the highest level of attention paid which makes it a pain for a newer player to really learn while struggling with those potential problems. Simple things like string height, pickup height, neck relief and intonation can completely change the playing experience of a budget friendly instrument.

I'll make sure it's squared away. Right now he's playing my (his I guess?) 1963 Hagstrom 1. It's a bit of a basket case, and I should do the same to it. BUT... the neck is straight as an arrow and it's small for his hands. So I drop tuned it to play The Thing That Should Not Be and he's hitting two strings and one finger on the "chord" just like a new kid does. Kinda cool. And totally going to get in the way of playing real chords. Just like his old man.

Usa candy cola strat! Never had an American strat. Now I do. 700 bones
It's been my observation that rosewood availablity is diminishing. Mexican rosewood strats are routinely $600 used. This seemed pretty justifiable to me given how so many rosewood strats are not solid color, rather sunbursts. Not that they're hens teeth, but somewhat less common than maple/solid or rosewood/burst. And new strats are Pau Fero unless you spend $1600. Pretty stoked.

Actually not the whole trem. The trem plate didn't come with it.
New development; the saddles from Calaham are offset. Mine are centered, so the new ones won't work. Not that big of a deal because they look like the exact same thing. Regardless of what the Calaham website says.
The block difference is visible here: The one on the right is the Calaham. It's about 1/8" wider overall. Heavier for sure.

I'll get out a pic of my Glendale trem block eventually, it's pretty hefty and had Tele saddles (on a Strat! :o). Unobtanium now but he's a Tele specialist anyway.
Have you guys seen EC Collins' bone saddles? I spotted them them last week and was kinda wonderin' if I need them for one of my ABR's. Fun to look

I was looking into the graph-tech tusq saddles for a strat. The thing that I keep concentrating on is the two set screws that adjust the height. To me the holy grail would be total contact from the saddle to the body for resonance. Having those two skinny legs providing the only two points of contact with the body is an area for improvement. Babicz Full Contact bridges addresses this pretty well in principle, but in practice they tend to lift off the trem plate because of the rear travel screw.
Having said that I just ordered one used on ebay. I guess I'm on a quest for the most sustain and least buzz i can get.

Learned that the body is from a Player series and the neck from a Blacktop which is an HH telecaster in traditional form vs like the Deluxe. Neck is a little chunky and I like it that way. Sound is typical of a telecaster, with fairly bright chime at the bridge, a little more low end in the middle position, but still bright, and pretty round on the neck pickup. 3 way switching. Body is routed at the neck for a humbucker if desired.
Really digging this thing. Really digging my GAS relapse.

Goddammit! Now I want a Tele. I sold one a few years back after owning it briefly just because I didn't play it much. But I've been playing my Strat and Strat bodies quite a bit the last few months.
I don't need a dottdam Tele. Unless it's a really good deal.

You could build one with a body from over here and a neck over there. That would be pretty fun. Also, I found this searching for a "partscaster". The listing said it was beat to death, he hated it, please take it away from my house.... Deprecating stuff. But I knew the neck was rosewood, and it had NOT been relic'd based on the pictures. I feel like I scored. I love the color, the neck everything.

Of all the times I've seen Unsane, I don't think I've ever seen Chris play anything other than a Tele and scream through an SM57. His amp is not what it looks like. From what I've heard over the years.

Took the boy to GC for drum lessons. Found this used for $36. Figured why not. Never had a DS-1.
Then I figured out a power supply is $30. Wtf happened to the price of those damn things?

I was given this resonator the other day. Jay Turser, not worth much, but I'm in the middle of sorting it out. The bridge is weird. I think it should be two pieces to allow access to a screw that controls tension to the cone. It also isn't notched for strings, and is plastic with no intonation graduation.
Also has an annoying buzz when the open B string is plucked.

Real Dobros have a hard maple/ebony bridge on them. I think I'm going to make one with maple and rosewood since I don't have any ebony. Working on this is a new adventure since I've never had any resonator guitars. Plan on tuning it open G and sliding. For use during conf calls and team meetings where I'm basically silent.

Finally got a new bass gig bag. $60something on Sweetwater. All the reviews said "This is way nicer than I was expecting for a $70 gig bag." They are correct.

always wanted a baritone and up came this acoustic- will be interesting to record over the Winter. Always wanted an Alvarez since one of my dear friends had one and loved it. Whelp, along MF comes with their daily deal and $349 get's 'er done.
compensated saddle, bone nut (per spec sheet), super fit and finish, strings gotta go but I'll play it in a little. eeee-lectric!! Excellent packaging, no case/bag. I hope it opens-up toneally, a little constricted fresh out the box. New strings to look for. Potentially could be a strong player in the arsenal :D Otherwise, wall candy.
(https://i.ibb.co/qMCPsXr/Untitledf.jpg)

ps. scale is 27" 23/32". Tuned B-to-B. Think I'll play around with some alternate tuning. Any recommendations?

I always look for interesting backs, or any visible wood grain, headstock etc. sometimes even the ugly ducklings look good to me. surprised when I opened the box and saw the back on this - has some interesting and actual flame to it.

Me neither. Yes, B is OEM standard. I have to figure out string gauge to suit if I leave it dropped lower. in no hurry, the guit is just an accent tool. Probably should get a nice gong too but that's a real rabbit hole. Bari is one trick pony I'd guess.

The good thing about this motherfucker is that I can set and save the volume for each loop, the display window allows me to create a name for each recording which is far more convenient than having to write down the name of each file in a paper (there are almost 50 recordings) and now I can finally configure the electronic drums so they can keep on playing even if I stop the stored recording... oh, and also I didn't have to change the Y-cable for the FS-7 (an external double footswitch), which is obviously a good thing because it would have been a pain in the neck to replace it for a TRS-cable since there's a freaking spaghetti of a mess underneath my pedalboard.

I love it. It is is as versatile and toneful as it is lightweight. Playing through it feels like a tube amp, not some disembodied modeling computer. In addition to it's quality onboard effects it takes pedals well. It can sound huge, like I'm punishing a big amp, but at low volumes. It also seems to use it's wattage very efficiently. When jamming with a drummer, keys and bass I'll often use it in 0.5 watt mode or in 25 watt mode with volume to spare.

Picked up the Boss OC5, which is a polyphonic octave. It has some neat tricks up it's sleeve, in that you can have separate outputs for effected and clean signals, and you can select the range of the octave, so that it only doubles/octaves down the lowest note of a chord that you're playing, then can send that octave down signal to a bass amp, while maintaining a clean, unaffected signals to your guitar amp (or vise versa as you can set it to a bass function also). It sounds killer.

That's the one thing it doesn't have. I don't need it for the rig I'm using it for though, as I'm aby-ing my signal, and only using the effected signal for the "bass" side.

That OC5 pedal sure sounds like the "bees knees".
I used to run a wet-dry system. One 4x12 for efx slave powered by a Mosfet from the guitar amp head (tube) that went to its 4x12 dry. I had my secret bag-of-tricks effects box that I keep looking out for on the used market. The setup was simple but by golly neat. (in a small room where it all gelled and you kinda couldn't tell it was separates. I mean it blended well. Like that pedal would I imagine.

I've had it for just a week, and only been able to jam it 2 times so far, I'm sure I'll get the setup all figured out and sounding as "bass" like as possible. In line with my aby, before the OC5 I'm using a TC Mimiq, which creates a double-tracking type effect, so that my bass and guitar parts will almost be in time, but be slightly off, to emulate a bassist and guitarist who are locked in but not robotically in sync.

I was at GC today and those guys know me somewhat at this point. I looked at the back wall from the door and saw a red semi-hollow body. The biggest critique about this GC is the fsct that they had 0 es-335s. None.
They still don't. They say they can't find any. This guitar was a Heritage H-535. So I plugged it into a Boss Katana just like I told neighbor664 I was going to do. Guitar was great, but it wasn't all that much better to me than that Washburn.
But that amp was impressive for sure. Lots of ideas went through my head. Like, hey is there a hacker subculture out there for inserting non-boss effects into this thing? I can put a 412 under this and that'd be way cool. Oh, there's a head version? Howzy bout on top of a bass cab? What does the enormously huge signal from my MusicMan Stingray do to this? Ooh there's a matching 212 extension cabinet? This thing is super lightweight, and there's no touchscreen. Can I put this effects loop in between the effects I feed it from the innerwebs? While we're on the hacker subject, what if I started a business doing nothing but creating software models of boutique effects to plug into modeling amps. Like a branded thing to plaster on the box of a pedal similar that Real symbol for dairy products that tells people there's a download code for the effect they're buying?
And on, and on, and on.

ok, gonna need lessons/tutorials, it's a different ballgame. Got many obviously 70's tones, no problem with those just a matter of connecting the dots. Luckily you can hold one key down and vroom it's a different planet. Songs will be made (the whole point).

Cool stuff on both fronts.
So I walked into GC yesterday as normal for niece's drum lesson and there was a Katana 100 mk2 with a used tag on it. $179 . New they're $379. Now here in TN there's some rule that says used items sold to a retail store for resale purposes have like a 14 day window where they can't leave the store. At least I think it's a state thing. Perhaps it's just GC policy. Anyway the date on this amp was Jan 18. I figured I'd plunk down the cash and pick it up on Wednesday. But first, need to plug in make sure it's ok. Talked to a sales dude and everything. Almost handed my card over.
I grab my favorite wall hanger, a candy red Epiphone Riviera and go to plug in and I look at the tag on the amp a little closer. It's for something else. An Orange Crush practice amp.
So I let them know they need to check the tag and sure enough, it's the wrong price. Amp is actually new and an open box deal could be done for $320. The tag was added incorrectly because the needed to take a picture of it with "any" tag hanging on it. Store to store sale type thing. None of this makes much sense to me, but I should have known it was too good to be true.
Dammit. Can't justify $400 on an amp. I have plenty.

They are retail and do pawns/loans. Everything they get has a 90 day police hold. On a regular basis they turn paperwork in with serial numbers to catch reported stolen items. Probably the same there just not as strict.

I caught it on sale, brand new. It's a virtual sound engine with everything modeled and editable like all the real organ sounds and noises. I have some software pipe organs but this is different. almost alive! It's going to be a long while before I can do the instrument justice so less is more for now. The reverse key colors kinda bumped me over the edge. Should go over well on Halloween :D

Cheap Yamaha China-coustic. Surprisingly sounds great, in great condition and almost zero fret wear. Only a C chord's worth and a tiny amount.

I went full woo-woo and bought a b-stock vibrator 3 months ago (tone-rite. not perfect ) for tickling wood cell. 7-8 guitars run in now. It freaking, probably works. This one here, brand new Alvarez, has just had 500 hours of of vibratory action. Point is its puts years on the guitar, or wakes up the old ones, it woke up my Strat. Mentally, and if not fooled, I think it actually works, somewhat obvious and yeah confirmation bias aside, a no brainer. This is an Alvarez-Yairi. All of a sudden I have 3 Alvarez the baritone is the most dramatic but this D shape might be a sweet honey. Super old (100+) Madagascar back and sides. Musical value yet unknown but I hacked at it tonight and its might just work for surprise hippy parfait at the coffee shop.

it's upside-down because b-stock. Should be right side up but fiddle-faddle. So, its plugged in and vibrating, has a dial for low-to-high. They said to set it low for long sweet time. Low and slow.

K. I looked into it and it brought up ancient memories of the early internet guitar forums. Before this thing , guys would crawl around bath and body stores or variety stores in search of the Conair massagers and fashion some sort of BDSM contraption to age the top would through gentle waves of ecstasy. Thereby eliciting jokes about how long you needed to do this every time you played as "fore play to open 'er up" so to speak.

BTW, to put a price tag to that point, the 50w MK2 can be bought for $200, the switch for $80 and the app for $12.99. I also spent an additional $20 to mod mine to have an external speaker 1/4 out. The tone to $ ratio is pretty f'n good.

That's a pretty good deal if it sounds good. Like I've said in the past, seems like a lot of people like them. I know you can really go down the money rabbit hole on high end cabs and Kemper/Axe effects stuff. Seems like the Katana deal would save a lot of dough.

That's it! The whole block vibrates. The rubber fingers pinch in between the strings. The whole guitar vibrates. Tonerite.

Man, I just looked on alibaba, you can get a coin size vibrating motor for $0.35. I bet they have hundreds of sizes to choose from. The tonerite is awfully expensive $120 or something but its a solid piece and it's been on non-stop for 4 months. That Conair sounds like a good idea.

Not sure of the year, but it's either 80's or 90's Washburn HB-35. Got it from Sam Ash in Miami, off Reverb.
Grungy at the moment, but seems to play well. Good relief in the neck. I just unboxed it 20 minutes ago so no idea how it sounds yet.

Ok, so I think it's a 1989 model based on the serial beginning with 89xxxx. The patina suggests around that age to me. It's been played a lot but not really abused. The frets could be dressed, the nut works well but it's plastic. The tuners are smooth as silk, but they're low ratio. The action is pretty low but no real buzz, so I'm reluctant to touch the neck or action at all.
The neck is considerably thinner than I would would expect with this type of guitar. Almost super strat thin. Not a deal breaker for me.
What I don't know is if it's Korean or Japanese. I don't think I'l find out either.

No idea, I haven't tried that one.
My review of the Massif: while it's true that it has very low background noise, the tone itself is way too dark, "opaque" would be a better word to describe it so I wouldn't recommend it with a strat... However, it gets along quite well with humbucker pickups or similar (I use a Reverend Flatroc) and it's also very "stackable" with my other dirt pedals like the Frost Giant Little Acid Fuzz (regardless of the position of the toggle switch) and the Warm Audio Foxy Tone Box (octave on)... sure, in those cases the background noise is brutal but as long as I don't stop playing everything is great. Now, in terms of nastiness... nah, I have more violent fuzzes than this one but it's ok.

I pulled the trigger on a '92 LP Standard i found in the used section of the GC website, but it was in New Jersey. I took a bunch of stuff up to my local GC to trade in, plus some cash, put the balance on a few check card accounts and they ordered it into their store, that way if I don't like it, I can get a full refund.
It's a 60's profile neck, in cherry burst. Plain top. I should have it this week. Can't wait.

Congrats on the LP. It'd have to be the right cherry burst for me. Too many of them are just a bit much thus given the moniker "Clown Burst". Good for getting the plain top too. Can't stand quilted or flame tops. Reminds me too much of a PRS.
I've never been interested in them so I'd never played one until a few months ago at a jam. Dude there plays one so I asked if I could play a bit. Felt really cheap to me. Very lightweight. Meh. Didn't like it. Too fancy and blue. I think he paid $4k maybe more. He had a pretty cool little Carr combo that did all sorts of shit. But I'll take my LP and my 20 watt HIWATT over it. Simple.

True, the pics I saw were rather subdued in terms of the drastic clown makeup. Subdued is more my speed, but the cherry I prefer over tobacco or lemon or honey or unburst.
A wine red one would do as well. Third on my list is black. Or maybe a goldtop. I guess I like quite a few of their colors, because any of those burst configurations I wouldn't mind. White would be last on the list of what I'd want.
Not green, or blue or metallic anything. I'm okay with flaming and quilting, but prefer plain.

Got it. It's really nice for a 30 year old guitar. The color comes off differently in different light. Under the fluorescents of my shop it's a bright brick red around the edges, but it doesn't come across in the picture below.
Also there is a grain crack that suggests to me that the binding was separating from the fretboard and it was taking some neck meat with it. Then it was glued back. It was disclosed as a "finish crack near the nut" i think it's more than that, but it isn't enough to make me want to return it, which I could do (GC policy is to allow 3 days for refunds on vintage gear, btw) but I want to keep it. Dude told me he could help to try and get me a few bucks for the damage if I want to. I might take him up on it to parlay into some store credit.

They gave me $200 back for the flaw! So I applied it to this for the kids.

Probably the old standard 490R & 498T since I see the sticker indicating alnico v which the 498T has. I've had them before and changed them out. Probably still have a set somewhere. I like the SD SH-18.

The Williams was a saavy move. just have them, or one, keep up with lessons. Lessons are cheap if they're good lessons and will pay off for a lifetime. Exceptional lessons will pay off over several lifetimes. It's all about listening, the student has to learn to listen when they are playing. No need to rush.

it's okay, I can make sci-fi sounds with it. Bog-standard VI but with tactile facility, and knobs. and a ribbon slider. Actually, not bog standard there's some wave granular foo-foo warping. Big bonus- mic/vocoder. I can process robot sounds now. squak back like your ten feet tall.

i need you guys expert opinions on this bass. i just scored it on my local craigslist. its a grand prix. i cant find a ton of infos on line about these. i believe its an 80s bass made in japan. it seems to have some really good hardware for what seems to be a lower end bass. mint grover tuners and that heavy bridge. also is string through body which you dont usually see on lower end basses. if in fact it is from the 80s, its in really good shape. neck is great and the frets look like new. the body has a few dings but over all great for a bass this old. the main issues is the volume pot seems fucked up and obviously its not the original knob. the tone pot is fine. the pick up seems fucked up too. the one side pole piece section drops into the body under the cover. could just be a matter of the foam under it is gone. im not sure yet but no matter as i have a p pickup set from a jackson bass that i think i can drop in if need be.
what do you guys think and what do you know about grand prix basses? oh yeah, i only paid $80.00 for it. i think i scored.

Have you ever used VM&P Naptha? highly flammable and volatile, in the paint aisle. Would clean that top-to-bottom. Any gunk, gone. Won't hurt anything on it. Might better see what Pissy says but I use it since the 90's when my tech said use it, just not around hide glue.

There's a couple on Reverb for more than $80 so I'd say you got a deal.
The headstock looks kinda like Westone. Definitely Japanese. The stuff that's wrong is an easy fix. Congrats.

Personally I think I'd have passed, but only because I'm stuck with a few $80 guitars that would serve me better creating heat in the fire place, than trying to sell.
Having said that, those weird branded Japanese basses are pretty solid. I think the guy from The Jesus Lizard plays 80's Memphis brand basses exclusively. Likely the same Matsumoku factory as yours.
Fix that volume pot, and put a meter on the pickups to verify they're shot. I wouldn't let that dropped pole piece deter me from using them if they in fact worked. But a good setup with a straight neck and leveled polished frets can make anything enjoyable to play.
Unless it does the neck dive. That would be a dealbreaker.

Also, it just dawned on me that I had a bass with that same bridge. It was a Fame (by Hondo) Warlock copy. Like this.

That was probably around 1991 or 92 that I had it. It had the neck dive.

truss rod is inop and it bows from bad to worse depending on the season and it is also twisted from about the 5th fret to the headstock. none of this bothers me because im so used to it. doesnt really affect playability for me.

I just pulled the trigger on a shredder guitar. 1990's Washburn MG series (Korean) with a licensed Floyd Rose locking tremolo. I haven't had this type of guitar in many many years. Dude has supposedly went through the painstaking process of cleaning and lubing all of the moving parts of the tremolo, and setting it up to move in both directions while settling back in tune. If it doesn't actually do that, then I'll dive in and learn a few things.
$320 all in with an SKB molded case, coming from Utah. We'll see.

Yeah, the dots, they did that back then. When I was a teenager around 1991-2 taking lessons at Sunset Music in Rocky Mount NC, they were a Washburn dealer. I'm a little nostalgic for them now, I guess. Around 1996 we had moved to Charlotte, living in an apartment with Lordfinnese and our 4 Washburn guitars were stolen out of my truck the night before we went to Raleigh for a show. 2 basses and 2 guitars. Mine were the basses. We didn't know they were gone until we got to the venue, three hours away. We turned around and went home.
We were each covered under our parents homeowners insurance at the time, and after pro-rating I got about $400 and bought a Sound Gear fretless. Lordfinnese got another Washburn kinda like the one I picked up here today, but a more basic trem. My bass was stolen again out of our rehearsal space not long after, Lord still has that Washburn and he plays it in his Pink Floyd tribute band. I moved to a Music Man Stingray I bought from Jon Vesano who would later be the bass/vocalist in the death metal juggernaut Nile. I gave him $500 for it, but he only asked for $400. Another $100 as a rental because I used it for 2 months before I paid him for it. I can't imagine why he trusted me with it. He's a good guy.
So anyway, a little nostalgic for Washburns. I don't think many people find much value in them overall.

Pissy, I enjoyed the story and backround on the Washburn.
I had a Nashville tuned acoustic, it was an Washburn offering for a few years, purpose built for the setup/tension. I liked it alot but decided to sell it, so up to cragslist. Next thing I know, one of my old, and much appreciated, part time fill in drummers responded to the ad, via totally incognito emails (craigslist relay). So, that afternoon. he trollips over and buys it. It was great! because it was kinda exactly what he was looking for. Rare-ish guitar too and it went the right place. He was starting a tour soon after, and it slotted right into his repertoire - and old rocker gone country. Okee-doekee
oh, yeah! Jennifer Batten and Washburn. I had my eye on a Nuno for the longest time, with the reverse headstock. I;m not at that level of playing though so, eye candy.

Plays great, sounds great, stays in tune. It's a perfect example of a 90's shredder, not an example of a perfect 90's shredder, if you know what I mean.
Outstanding for the money. Dude actually refunded me $50 because one of the latches on the case didn't work. But they all worked upon arrival, so definitely no complaints.

The bridge pickup is a Dimarzio Super Distortion. There's one unoriginal tuner, that I've already ordered a replacement for. The originals are grover mini's. The string spacing is wider than I expected. That's not a bad thing, just something I noticed.
The fret work is very nice and faceted on the fingerboard edges as well as the fret ends. Comfortable and smooth. Strung up with 9-42 strings. If I change them over to 10's like all my other guitars I'm sure I would need to dive in to the trem to set it up. But since this thing is what it is, I'm inclined to leave them.

I just went to a buddies house up in Ohio who was in a similar situation. Living in his dad's old house, his dad died last year sometime. They're moving back here, need to clean out the place.
Came back with about 50,000 sports cards - almost all from the card boom era where not many are worth anything. And about 200 lbs of arrowheads and stone artifacts that were found in plowed up fields in Ohio. Trying to sort through it all. We sifted through the arrowheads, pulled some out, poured the rest in an area of the yard. they'll be there whenever I need them, which will certainly be never, but the kids can kick them around when they're bored.
The sports cards... overwhelming.

I bought it new on sale for $150. I really love the rest of my rig, so I am not that into any pedal in front of the amp just by itself. I played the first half of the video with my Rickenbacker 4003 Standard with fingerstyle. Second half is with my modern Schecter with Fishman Fluence pickups which really excels for modern rock. I played with a pick toward the very end with my Schecter. I plan to make more videos and all in the future....the signal chain is: RICKENBACKER -->eMPRESS PARAEQ EQUALIZER PEDAL-->DEMONFX CALI 76 COMPRESSOR-->FREQOUT DIGITECH FEEDBACK PEDAL --> FUZZ WORSHIP FROST GIANT BASS MOUNTAIN PEDAL--> ORANGE THUNDERVERB 50-->TORPEDO CAPTOR X --> OZONE 5 MASTERING SOFTWARE. tHATS IT LOL!

Yep that's right, it's the 258 E. I had to let go of my snobbiness about the fact that it has pickups, or rather, I just loved it enough that I didn't give a shit.
I'll post some clips. It's like holding a whole ass symphony in your hands. Whoever thought to octave-up the center lanes of the fretboard is a genius.

PSA be aware that Musicians Friend will, if they're out at the warehouse, have one of their Guitar Center stores ship it to you. The last two SDOTD's came to me that way and let.me.tell.you the packing was hilarious. I almost refused the baritone, but, hey, we're freinds, so I accepted it. I know they'll make good on anything, always have. The shipping box was half open so I had to laugh but hey, the guitar does look...spiffy as heck! brand new never opened! All good. They said to call them ahead of time if you want to be sure of a particular, or want to have it shipped from the MF warehouse. Good folks as of this posting, and for me the prior 30 years.

So I went a little impulse buying the other day and drained the account with my ebay-effort money in it. Picked up another Washburn 335 copy, this time in wine red, should be here tomorrow. I also grabbed a set of Pearly gates pu's for the blonde one I have, and Seth Lover's for this new one. I just finished installing the Pearly Gates set (that was interesting working on the electronics for a semi-hollow body). They're quite lush and seem more versatile than typical pickups I get, which tend to be high output. I'm going to need to play them more to see what I can do with them. They're nasally, but I don't think of that in a negative way.
We'll see about the Seth Lover's.

It arrived. 1991 Washburn HB-35 in trans red. He didn't pack it very well, but I don't see any issues. Aftermarket pickups, that I hope I can trace to what they are. There's an issue with a saddle that I think I have a replacement for. Sperzel locking tuners, with the old holes filled in.
Looking forward to tinkering with it, setting it up.

I dove into the red Washburn. Turns out tge pickups are SD '59 in the bridge and a SD Jazz in the neck. Gonna roll with those until I decide to swap to the Seth Lover's.
That saddle I mentioned, I've had a hell of a time trying to get a saddle that will fit. I ultimately found a replacement bridge with the correct mounting hole spacing for the posts. It's 72mm, which is about 3mm narrower than a typical tune-o-matic. This guitar was made in the Samick factory in Korea, and this was the dimension that was used on the Epiphone semi-holows of the time as well. So I was able to find a "Samick" bridge that should work. I think it should show up early to mid next week. Also picked up some speed knobs, because I don't really care for the stock ones.
I removed the crappy nut that was on there, cleaned the slot up, put a pre-slotted bone nut in its place.

Picked up a Tascam DP24sd for $250, about half of what they go for new. The idea is to have the home shop/studio space be mostly plug and play, and be a creative space, as opposed to a more professional recording studio. For me removing the computer from the equation is handy for that, and it takes me back to the feeling of analog recording that made me fall in love with recording music myself.
It's a 24 track standalone digital recorder, it can record 8 tracks simultaneously.
Given the idiotic amount of inputs my band needs I'll run drums into my Mackie 8 track mixer, and run stereo out, Into 2 tracks, so that I can have the 6 remaining tracks open for the 3 guitars, bass, synth, and vocals.
If other bands want to use the space and somehow need more inputs then I'll have to figure some other solution out.
I plan on building a little stand on wheels that'll house all my mics and cables and other helpful stuff, with the mixer and portastusio on top.
I'm feeling too lazy to go take a photo, so I'm just posting one I found online.

So, do you use the 8 mic ins, then dump those to individual tracks, freeing those inputs back up for re-recording?

Pissy, kind of.
You can assign inputs A through H to any of the 24 tracks. So for instance if you know that you want to record two additional guitar tracks, and you want a group all instruments of a similar type together could record guitar on input A on track 1 for your live take, then do your overdubs or additional takes on track 2 and 3. You could also assign a second guitar on input B to track 4 and do overdubs on tracks 5 and 6. Rinse and repeat.
Essentially you have 24 tracks to do whatever you want with them.
You can also mix down multiple tracks into a single track. So you can put all of your guitar overdubs on one track once they are the point you like them and free up more tracks.
With some creativity you could essentially layer hundreds of tracks by strategically mixing things down. The only big issue is that you cannot go back in and edit things after the fact, in fact you can't really edit much on it at all, you can punch in and do that kind of stuff, but editing, like you would on a DAW isn't practical. So while it records digitally it really is similar to using an old analog tape machine. But it does have the advantage of some amp modeling, and effects onboard.
You can also use sends and returns on the back to use any outboard gear that you might want to use, it seems like a pretty capable little machine.
Also, there's a whole mastering suite available as well, so in theory, if you're good.... you could theoretically record, mix, and master an entire album on the thing. All without even touching pro tools or reaper or any other DAW.
