Re: Robben Ford / Pedal Show w/Dumble
I want to watch this episode, but haven't' found the time to devote over an hour. TPS videos can tend to be too long.

Re: First Foray into Multiscale (Second into headless)
I think I would be interested in hearing / learning of the sonic differences of a multi-scale length guitar. That said, I could never see such a thing in regular rotation for my style of playing.

Re: Tech Question for Amp Gurus
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 ...

Wasn't it an insurance payout, where they did not want the guitars resurfacing on the market?tonebender wrote: ↑Tue May 07, 2024 8:52 am I just read the back story, or what is suppose to be the truth, about why Gibson destroyed all those guitars. Interesting to say the least.

Re: NGBD - Mustang
Happy NGBD!
Looks cool and great color!
Try a drop of machine oil or teflon tuner lube on the creaky part of the string shaft. Then put on an old set of strings and drive your family crazy by working the vibrato bar while you watch TV. Sometimes these glitches wear themselves in.

Re: Whats on your work bench?
An amplifier that 'got away' from me, was a Marshall small-head 2553 Silver Jubilee 50w. Well, I decided to build my own starting with an Alexander Jubilee clone PCB (which is really just a modified Guv'nor pedal). My mods include 50w / 100w mode (like the real amp) with a bi-color LED to indicate o...

Re: Sam Ash To Shutdown Remaining Stores
I bought my first PRS (1992 pre-factory CE24 with HSC, below) from Sam Ash in Cherry Hill, NJ. I remember the tag being $1,100 and the store manager exempting sales tax by logging in the guitar as a mail order since I was from PA at the time. The price was about $200 lower that other stores and the ...

Re: Marshall Origins
I tried a few origins, one which @golem had and they are not my cup of tea. Good amps mind you, but having worked on plexis and steel-fronts, the genuine sound includes punishing the speakers.
The second Headfirst mod sounded better, IMHO, than a stock Origin.

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...

Re: Tastes Like Chicken?
By the way, how are you going to repair the hole? I am leaning towards the JB Weld 8217 method, since the surrounding steel is rust free and the hole is literally pin sized. I'd be afraid to try a screw, as I do not know the tank's steel composition. If the screw I use was a dissimilar metal, it wo...

Tastes Like Chicken?
You can't make this stuff up. I have an expensive 10500-watt back-up generator for when the power goes out (note that my power has not gone out long enough to use it in ten years). The gas tank sprung a leak and I was expecting to find that it rusted. When I took it apart to begin the repair or repl...

Re: Whats your' latest gear acquisition?
I feel like I'm going to explain it poorly, but Mike had a side project that he thought called for a more Gretsch like guitar. He bought this and a Richard Fortus, who I think he knows, signature Gretsch. I'm not surprised to hear that he prefers the Gretsch as it has higher output pickups I was at...

Re: A Trip to Antigua
@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. The finish aged on yours and was actually 'cowboy cool,' IMHO. If I recall, it was h...
