Vulture that I am, I called and asked about a PRS 509 10 Top they had to see what kind of deal I could get. Best I could get was free shipping (on a 4K guitar). I was a bit surprised. Maybe that's why they're going out of business. If I called 5 PRS dealers about what PRS they might be able to give,...

Update: He left me negative feedback on The Gear Page yesterday at 4:30 PM. It's slightly less than 3 months since the transaction. He has my cell phone number and never called me about it or texted me an update so I can only assume the shop probably got back to him yesterday and told him something ...

That's hot.

Over time I've gone to mostly higher end gear and usually used or when I can find a good deal. My local GC has some of the worst setup guitars in their high end room. They'll need to a lot better to move their high end stuff. In my city people would go to Eddie's or Killer Vintage for high end stuff...

Mike. Odd that Mike would by that guitar. Cool on the amp! It has a few of the mods that I do, with negative feedback. It also has a mod toswitch it to Class A output (Tweed Champ) from a 15w (Tweed Deluxe). I feel like I'm going to explain it poorly, but Mike had a side project that he thought cal...

Hennig? Mike. Also, the aesthetics of those Kinmans I have works perfectly for this guitar so you probably know what I'm tempted to do. The electronics are on a pickguard and it doesn't require doing anything crazy through F holes to install. I think a push-pull would be required. Also, working out...

Buying one of these. @andrewsrea knows the seller as he's local and he now goes to Rob for a lot of his amp and guitar work (thanks to me!). Pretty sure I got a price I won't lose my ass on if I need to sell.

@andrewsrea can attest that I briefly had one of these (an original one). Probably because of age the finish was a bit more subdued than this. It wasn't the greatest guitar but it wasn't absolutely horrible either.

It actually turns out the Reverb is broken too. But it also has a lifetime warranty like the Jackson audio pedal.

I went hog wild at GC's Guitar A Thon and bought some discounted pedals. Unfortunately, one of them was broken so I need to take advantage of the Jackson's VIP warranty: https://youtu.be/id94okN_P1M?si=CxqksY0_D3WzQ8XG Mesa Boogie Cleo: https://youtu.be/CJsSdj8vAFs?si=h79FK7q3ydLt41CS Native Audio G...

Tried to donate both with Thai card or USA card but the hangup seems to be the system won't accept my location being Thailand and cannot change it to USA (I guess fraud prevention). If you have a bank account that can take Zell transfers I can go direct from my USA bank. I sent a PM...but it's just...

Also grabbed this thing I was staring at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Tbg2jdxZ3c because I'd sold my old one want was thinking of grabbing this when andrewsrea said he wanted to borrow the one he thought I still owned. It's interesting because we could argue IR does the same thing with presets,...

Picked up one of these: https://youtu.be/X8i4AUeO2VE?si=I_uXvhN1e6sYCraS I'm hearing that this is actually the ProAnalog Manticore v2 but ProAnalog failed to pay for work Cusack did, went out of business, and that got them the rights to this. It's based on a Klon: https://youtu.be/vq2uDZS72eg?si=L0S...

Still waiting on him. He claims the shop took a quick look at and it is twisted and then they'll be able to look at it in 3 weeks. What kind of person thinks "I traded a guitar and it looks like the neck has a twist. Instead of talking to the person I got it in trade from I'll ship it off to an...

I seem to recall the girl from Covet, Yvette Young, used an SX Tele that she put Bill Lawerence pickups in before Ibanez sponsored her. In other words, she's in good company

I know a lot of Filipino bands because my wife is Filipina. They've definitely got some good music. As for safety, it's like any country in that it depends on where you go. I'm sure you'll find people swearing up and down that the major city I live near is probably more dangerous than many places in...

You certainly come across nice amplifiers and guitars! Any interest in a Marshall JCM 2000 TSL100 head or know someone who does? Someone wants to trade me for Chiris' Kramer 'The 84' guitar. You're selling that Kramer for like $630? I'd at least be curious to try it and flip it if I didn't love it ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnBF4--Wjno Honestly the Trinity can get some gain with PAF type pickups and no boost on the clean channel. Shawn's demo here is probably the demo with the least amount of gain used. Most demos of this are for metal. https://youtu.be/xFTFwrthGXo?si=S-9KSm4BXABaNfen&am...

8 days technically. Had a Friedman SS100 I got at a great price, traded it for the Trinity 100W. This amp insanely versatile with the negative feedback and depth controls. I'd easily pick this up over a SLO100 or the Friedmans I've owned (BE100 and SS100). Sometime that week I picked up a DSL40C wit...

@Tonray's Ghost Absolutely, they make great clones of many amps in Malaysia. They're harder to find, a lot of people ask used for what they go for new, but being lesser known they can occasionally be found for great prices.

LOL. Honestly if one's going to pay that much for a Dumble look at a used PR MT100. Supposedly the overdrive channel is based on Mark's ODS if not the actual circuit at least tone wise.

One thing I notice is that some people generally use one or the other. So if you want better reach try both.

Crazy because he has his own homemade vibrato on that guitar and the neck pickup is some kind of dynasonic put into P90 housing.

I literally feel the same way @andrewsrea does. That's why I got rid of mine.
