Re: Whats your' latest gear acquisition?

Yesterday I spent an hour in GC and walked out with a new Cowbell by LP. The one we use for busking is a little large. We needed a medium size Cowbell tone and more of it too!

Re: '59 Strat

I could tell it was fake because I zoomed in to find that one of the buttons on the strap was an Truman presidential campaign pin.

Re: A Trip to Antigua

I do not like that finish but I am sure some do. I could never bond with a Strat anyway so it will never be an issue for me. Is it the single coils or the body style/scale length that you don't get on with ? I once put a GFS humbucker pre wired guard into an old cheapo strat and it was fabulously f...

Re: Hotone Pulze

Hotone has been making good stuff for quite awhile. One of my favorite pedals in their mini Blues overdrive. I have put a lot of miles on that thing.

Re: Harmony Juptiter

The pricing seems in line with made in USA guitars. Interesting to see things that were made off shore come back. Gibson is making some Epiphones here. Not sure why anyone would opt for one over a Gibson but they know more about business than I do. I suppose there are some loyal Epi players out there.

Re: Newest Firefly Purchase...Flame Maple Grey Burst DC...P-90s!

I have only owned the one Firefly and I have to admit that after some up grades that thing is one helluva guitar. First there was the Agiles, then the Harley Bentons and now Firefly guitars. All great platforms to mod. I guess I could mention SX and Douglas too. Some of the Agiles were good just the...

Re: Playing Unplugged

I really can't bother any of my neighbors and believe me I have tried. On the farm we were smack in the middle of 10 acres and everyone around us had 5 or 10 acres too so we could throw concerts out there. Here everyone has at least an acre so plenty of distance between homes. I do not think I could...

Re: Vocal mics?

I have tried many mics over the years. Cheap ones and pricey. Audio Technica and Behringer make decent cheap ones. I used Shure for many many years and then four years ago I picked up a Heil PR22. I kind of got used to it and thought it was fine but had the opportunity to use someone else's Shure Be...

Hey Jeff Beck, good to see you! I have Harpmasters in my Alchemy Les Paul and they are wonderful. I had bought several sets from Tony back in the day and had some on the shelf. When my Alchemy arrived I did not like the pups that came in it. At that time I had discovered Buddha pups so I ordered a s...

Re: Unexpected NGD: Gretsch G5230LH

Congrats on the new Gretsch. I have had three over the years and four if you count the short scale bass. I had one of those stubby horn models like Malcolm Young played and it was a player but so ugly I could bond with it. I bought it for $200 and managed to sell it for the same. The other two were ...
