    Tell your gavourite guitarist of all time ?

    It's a fair point. I didn't mean to hi-jack this thread, but I couldn't let the "in the dust" comment go un-answered. Sorry for going off topic. Good thread though. :thumb:

    Tell your gavourite guitarist of all time ?

    Steve Morse boring?! I think not. His compositional prowess exceeds even his formidable ability to play the instrument. If you think he's boring, you obviously haven't heard The Dregs. As far as sheer playing ability, Morse leaves Blackmore in the dust, but that wasn't my point, I was comparing...

    Tell your gavourite guitarist of all time ?

    Sorry Adwex, nothing personal, but that should say..... He's playing in Amsterdam tomorrow....with a Deep Purple tribute band. Apart from the drummer (and he's not original), none of them have any claim to the name Deep Purple. :mad:

    Cool Pawn shop finds

    I picked up my back-up Squier from a pawn-shop for £70.00. Upgraded with Fender Noiseless pups, white scratchplate (kept the black knobs/switch-tip), and after setting it up properly, plays like a dream. :cool2:

    Hi from Scotland

    Neck Scalloping...

    I've been playing a scalloped Strat as my main guitar since '88. The improvement to ones technique & vibrato makes it all worthwhile. The downsides are... 1. You can't use a capo. 2. Because scalloped boards encourage vibrato, you tend to eat frets! 3. 99.9% of any future sell-on market...

    Ritchie Blackmore

    In my book, it's Blackmore, then the rest can fight it out for 2nd. In no particular order, No No No from Fireball - the tone is as near perfect as you'll hear. Gates of Babylon - stunning solo. Weiss Heim - haunting. Wring That Neck from In Concert - that's how a Gibson should sound. Anya from...

    Hi from Scotland

    Hi everyone. After 20yrs using Fender amps, it's time for the "big guns" again. JCM900 100w half-stack is on its way. :applause:

    Blackmore tone?

    RB never ran the Marshalls flat out on stage, they were running at around 30% to give his sound a better "spread", that's why there was no power-tube o/d. In early Purple days, when the 335 was still being used, it was plugged into an AC30 in an empty Marshall 4x12. Since '74, he has always used...
