I've never owned a Marshall but there's an Origins 20W head w/ 112 cab for sale nearby that I've been eyeing. I'm not much of a solderer--I can do guitar wiring and maybe fix a bad connection on an instrument cable but that's pretty inexact compared to anything required for like PCB. Would I be able...

This guy just arrived: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240426/c93bd7272b0029bdac1d295c6a018263.jpg It’s a strandberg essentials 6, have been curious about them for a while and these came out and i got a tax refund and well, stuff happened. Don’t have a fully formed opinion yet though. Sent from ...

have gotten a couple of things recently. got a jhs notaklon. so far i like it although i'm not sure what combination of overdrives i want to keep on the board yet. basically the relevant part of the board is a jhs milkman (boost/slapback delay), a boss sd1, a mxr sugar drive (fat sugar enclosure), a...

this nashville tuning is amazing. I came up with several new good sounding song ideas in first day just due to the unique inspiration of the tuning. Its Jethro Tull-ish, it gets smooth folk/jazz-ish, country. Its not just the higher pitch tuning, its got a "step" in pitch that exists betw...

ok i listed a few things and got a few trades. traded my squier cv 60s jazzmaster for money plus an alvarez AC-60SC laminate cutaway: image.png i like it a lot as a little beater acoustic, might just keep it. traded my cv jazz v for a mim black label fender p bass: image.png this one was pretty roug...

a contoured neck heel acoustic! what witchcraft is this?

i'll have to try one of those, that guitar looks crazy.

i have one of these coming today, i don't have any experience with marshalls really though. maybe i'll know if when i hear it, but how do you set it to get something convincing? i was going start by trying it just into the power amp stage of one of the fenders to see what it does. I run mine into m...

I sold almost all of my pedals - including this one. I just re-bought from Amazon. I've tried many Marshalls-in-a-box but the Joyo does the "thing" really well, I think. I must have bad ears or something because I've had some expensive ones (Wampler, Boss, Box of Rock) and none sounded as...

So lighter fluid? I think the lighter fluid they sell today is not the same as it was years ago. Then there is Coleman fuel, which was white gas? I think the crackheads use it to make crack from cocaine. I was just asking because if you got wax on a rosewood fretboard, once it got in the pores i th...

I watched a stewmac video before I tried it. It's the super-thin super glue they have for this kind of stuff. I prepped it by smearing some candle wax on the fingerboard around the side of the inlay I was going to push down and on the inlay itself, to try to keep the glue from sticking much. Dribble...

the sg i got recently had one minor problem that annoyed me: the 5th fret inlay was not quite flush and i could feel it catching my finger slightly when i played around the 5th fret. if it wasn't right there it might not have bugged me enough to do something but i googled around, bought some #10 sup...

got this today on the local market. heritage h150 standard in dirty lemon burst.
it's not heavily flamed at all--i thought it was a plain top when i saw the listing because the figuring is so subtle. but i actually kinda like it that way

Just got a new (to me) H150 Standard in dirty lemon burst. It feels great, action is maybe slightly lower than I'm used to. It's pretty close to as low as it goes on the bass side, a little travel on the treble side. I'm not worried.

After playing them for a few days and using them in a jam: The Yamaha PAC611 isn't bad but doesn't really scratch any itch. I'm shocked by how much I like the Charvel, both by the way the active pickups sound (and how much usable variety there is in the different pickup settings) and how smooth it f...

I wound up with a Players Strat and a Players Tele that were both kinda redundant since I have other ones. So I traded for these. image.png It's a Yamaha Pacifica PAC611VFM and a Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 2 24 HT HH (what horrible names!). The Charvel especially is really out of place in my colle...

So I've been trying to trade my Elite Stratocaster for a Gibson SG for a couple of months I think. Slow going though, so finally just bit the bullet and bought one. I wanted the '61 reissue one and this 2013 Standard popped up on the used market and I pulled the trigger. image.png I'm excited, have ...

Got a used Hot Rod Deluxe on used market for $350. Just got it yesterday, like it a lot. I have a BJr and a couple of Twins, never had an in-between one before. Sounds so much bigger than the BJr without being as huge as the Twins. I was a little worried it would be too loud but maybe because I'm us...

This one was an unplayable mess that our drummer had--literally one of the saddles on the Floyd at some point had been put on backwards or something so it couldn't be tuned, the trem was so out of balance the action was awful, the metal parts were all a little rusty, etc. I fixed it up for him and g...

have been curious about these for a long time but they don't show up much on the local market. the bassist pressured me into buying it and i caved.

kind of interesting an interesting thing. it's squier classic vibe bass vi.

i love that guild by the way. getting a lot more use that the ac30 ever did. finally got a trade offer on my heavily modified (by the prior owner) eastman/supro dual tone. it was a pretty neat guitar but i never bonded with it so never really played it, and it was tough to find someone interested in...

i put another k&k pure mini in my eastman e6o.

i swapped the speakers out in the jc-120. one of them sounded torn at volume and investigating they looked like low-wattage home-stereo grade panasonic speakers, very light and not very loud. i ordered some celestion centruries but amazon screwed up the order so i wound up at least temporarily putti...

a few recent acquisitions. i got a jhs angry driver pedal to hopefully serve as my main drive pedal. so far so good, never had a blues driver before and actually really like that side of it more than i expected. got this because it was ludicrously cheap and i got the ludicrously cheap strat version ...
