I've always planned at some point to visit Indonesia. When I stayed in Malaysia, some of the nicest people I met were Indonesian and aside from that, it's proximity from Thailand makes it a no brainer. And now after seeing the Tokai MIJ inventory at the Jakarta store I'm absolutely going there wowza...

Turns out it was not that unusual...waiting for the Trini Lopez model with F-hole, and Fender orange tinted neck and headstock.

Well my stated goal is to sound more artificial as my natural talents make my natural sound pretty lame. I guess I'm waiting for an AI neural plugin so my muscle memory can be replaced/downloaded on the fly. Monday SRV plugin, Tuesday Wes Montgomery, Wednesday Barney Kessel, Thursday Steve Marriot,...

I'd guess it is someone's custom order from back when Kurt was taking custom orders. Taking the orders was fine, delivery was the problem Yeah, you are kind. He was not good at at taking the orders or delivering the orders. He was good at holding my cash in his account accumulating interest for the...

This is a topic that hits me close to home because I came of age as a guitarist when rack mounted gear and the famous Bradshaw rigs were becoming prominent. Having one foot back in an era when great guitar tone meant plugging straight into a cranked Plexi, rack mounted units like the ADA MP-1 were ...

Update: ordered the Boss TR-2 Tremolo pedal a classic and have $50 leftover from the sale of the GP-200. A win win..now for those new guitars...

So I just sold my GP-200 and while I still think it's a great pedal, here is why I sold it. The reason I bought the GP-200 was that I had the GP-100 in conjunction with a small SS Mooer Hornet amp. The Hornet was a decent enough amp but sounded just a bit sterile on it's own. The Valeton GP-100 made...

I'm not close to being a guru, just used a lot of gear over decades, so take with a lump of salt... You're not likely going to get a very good line level match between a line out and an effects return, but you're also not going to blow anything up. If you can control the level of the line out from ...

Ok...a quickie tech question for you amp/electronics gurus

If I had a SS amp with effects, would it be possible to take the Line Out from the SS amp into an Effects Loop on a tube amp, with the stated goal of using the effcts on the SS Amp with the power amp and speaker of the tube amp ?

Wow !

Lefties get their revenge ! I feel so left out.

Probably the best demo yet:

I want it

Funny but I didn't see one headstock break....ha ha ha

I used to love going to Sam Ash in Edison NJ. It was a refuge, on Sunday's (as I did everyday) I would stay with my Mom at her nursing home and as my treat to de-stress I would head over to Sam Ash on my way home and ogle some Amps / Guitars / Pretty sales girl (I wonder if she's still there ?). I a...

Hm... I was thinking about the margin on a $100 strat 'n amp starter pack vs. an Epiphone. Or a Gibson. It's all in volume, I'd guess. It seems as if they're sacrificing volume for bigger margins. Maybe this has nothing to do with the OP but I found it interesting. From a TGP post.. "Overall g...

Wow. Stifling. How are you keeping cool? I make 5 trays of ice every day and use AC. But unfortunately, GF's birthday today so I booked a nice hotel on the river in Bangkok...and with check in @ 2PM I have to travel to BKK via Metro and make my way to the hotel at the hottest time of the day.

Whoa! That's some hot weather. Humidity pretty high too?
