Re: MIA: AGF Milk Carton Kids

Welcome Back MadJack! I was just thinking the other day that I might have lost the opportunity to eget that AL3110 or AD201 back that I sold you years ago with the old AGF demise. Or at least lost the opportunity to keep bugging you about it. So...do you still have them? ;-) Ha-ha! Yeah, I still ha...

Not Originally for Bass, but...

As you may have seen in my other posts, I recently got (back) into bass. I got the Donner DPB-510 P-Bass copy and an Ashdown Studio 8 for a really good deal, just before the prices jumped up , TWICE! (MF was $164.99, I got it on sale for $99.99 then went to $199.99 and two weeks later $219.99! :shoc...

Donner DPB-510

For the last few months the "Bass Bug" has been buzzing around me. I haven't handled a bass much since my daughter had the SX Ursa 1 (she's since moved out, got married and made me a Grandfather!) I started looking at what options Rondo had, which isn't a whole lot in long scale basses and...

Re: NPD - SansAmp YYZ

I didn't see these responses until now... What's weird is; I got a notification that @MadJack had replied to this thread, but obviously there's no post by him, and that notification has disappeared... spooky. Nope. I didn't reply to this thread, but I did read it this last weekend. I am interested ...

Re: Is the Firefly is the new al-2000

FYI, Guitarsgarden.com posted up some new FFLPS (LP copies). May not be up to the quality of an AL-2K, but for the DIYer they can be pretty good. some cool colors too.

Re: Whats your' latest gear acquisition?

I went on a buying spree shortly before I went on staycation last month. In reverse order: I received this Firefly FF338 just before the last weekend of staycation. I pressed a few frets level, dressed the fret ends and bone nut. I installed a set of Gotoh Tuners, a set of Giovanni GVH-1 Humbuckers ...

Re: Monoprice 5 Watt Tube Amp

I do agree that tubes make a difference, but it's more of a fine tuning tool. I found that V1 is wired in reverse, i.e., the second half (V1B) is the first preamp stage. The second half (V1A) is the driver stage. Another difference from most other amp designs, is the volume is between the two halves...

Re: Is the Firefly is the new al-2000

I received my Firefly FF-338 Semi-hollow about three weeks ago. I know, it's not one of the FFLPs, it's one of the Red ES-335 copies and it was the only semi-hollow model that was available at the time I ordered it from Amazon. I didn't get all caught up in the initial rush to buy them and waited ti...

Re: MIA: AGF Milk Carton Kids

I'M B-A-A-A-C-K! Well, at least for the time being. tobijohn, I know I wasn't on the list you posted in the op, but I remember many of you guys. I don't know what happened with the old site and don't really care! I hate the pettiness that can occur in small groups. I'm here for the gear talk! It was...
