Re: Vocal mics?
Can't go wrong with Shure. I like some models of AKG . I think one of my favs is the D-88s (discontinued) which is very similar to the SM-58. I also have an AKG P5 that ain't half bad. If you get a decent mic it will last you a loooong time.

Re: What is your end game in buying guitars?
When I gigged I only had 1 electric and 1 acoustic 12. There were/are so many different feature sets to explore. Very easy to let it get out of control and one can only play so many guitars at once. I am down to 10 which is too many but I have (3) earmarked to sell whenever I get my lazy self to pos...

Re: The Firefly Has Landed
Can't imagine not having a 335 style guitar. I was going to buy a Firefly till they changed the horns. I was stuck on the Mickey Mouse ears at the time so I ended uip with a Grote. Lots of upgrades but my buying days had kind of slowed to nothing so why not.

Re: Recent Health Scare
Jeff - Just read this and happy to hear you appear to be OK. I had a heart attack (3rd) at 48 and almost met the maker. They wanted to do a triple bypass but I said no (IN the ER with a Doc I knew nothing about) so they ended up doing a stent once I stabilized, then a year later 2 more. After they d...

Re: Pedal Friendly Tube Amp
Hey Sam glad to hear your wife is doing better. A reissue Ampeg takes pedals quite well and does great cleans. They are all (Jets and Jet II's) very loud. If you need quiet then a small solid state or hybrid is the way to go and most of the modelers really don't need pedals in my estimation. As you ...

Re: Looking for info on Recording King RO-328
I had two solid wood Recording KIngs. Can't recall the model but both experienced the bridge pulling up. One I had professionally repaired and it pulled up again. Nice looking, sound good and fun to play. Oh they were 12 fretters. But I would look at a solid wood import Guild first or if you are wil...

Re: Speaker Selection for a Frontman 15R/25R Conversion
I have owned a few 4x12's and 2x12's. My preference these days is two separate 1x12 cabs utilizing a different flavor for each. Maybe a Fender/Jensen in one and a Vox/Celestion in the other. I do not run them simultaneously but each on it's own. Helps eliminate same sound tedium.

Why are so many folks stressing over a 1099 from Reverb and paying taxes? Aren't the taxes on gains (profit) from the sale.

Re: How did I let it get so bad...
CcHOCOL8 - Small Fish. I agree 100% and it is up to the seller to show what the cost basis of the sale was. The IRS does not have enough staff to focus a LOT of energies on this I don't believe. But if they do what would you like me to bring you in jail? Only kidding...

Re: PayPal Alert
Would like to avoid the "political side" of this argument if possible but if you bought a guitar for $1,000 and put $200 into it, then sold it for $800 why would you owe taxes?

Re: Ibanez AS73 Aye or Nay on Finish
Aye, if it gets your rocks off. I can say I recently bought an AS73 in an antique amber finish. No matter on the finish, the thing plays great! I have had several Artcore AS guitars. Two 73's, one 83 and a 93. All great guitars in my opinion. This is my amber. Love that color. Ibanez Artcore AS-73 ...

Re: Why I don't own a Casino
What is weird is the newer Worn version has more vintage (lower output) accurate pickups, improved electronics and a nubone nut. Oh and $200 less.
