At the very moment of reading the post, I was listening to Randy Newman singing a T.V. theme song. He's right, "It's a jungle out there!" Meanwhile, cued up on the P.A. is Black Sabbath, "13", chock full of Geezer Groovy Goodness!!
I find it disturbing and sad that, on this forum clearly carrying the man's name, that a R.I.P. tribute/mention has turned into a "lippy" retort-fest about mis-placed credit and who deserves what parts of it, rather than simple recognization of the passing of the man without whom much of the...
I like my little Valvestate combo, but MY faves are:
my 3540 IBS 400w. heads
& my 3560 25/50 Silver Jubilee 600w. head.
Truly "Rip your head off" Bass power!!
If you find it to be just not what you were looking for, you could always dump it to a Bass player, like... well, ME. Just a thought for a "plan B". I hope it works out for you, really, but, yeah.
Oh, my goodness!! "Woe is me"! Buck up Shleprock!! If you continue to tell yourself, and the world, and the internet, that you aren't good enough, aren't lucky enough, etc., your negativity is gonna pin you to the bottom of the barrel. Maybe that's your issue now, anyway. Negative energy like...
This one is approx 1971-1974-ish
and this one is approx 1970-'72ish,
This is 1977
And this is a 1976 with its '77 "twin" next
And finally 1977 natural tiger flame,
But my oldest overall is a 1953(?) C.F. Martin Soprano Ukulele which I need to get pics of.
Honestly, I would find myself taking the paint off with the sharp side of my pick every time I had it in my hands and was not actually playing it. I know because I have done so before, somewhat unconsciously and slowly, eventually getting most of the paint off the mahogany RG body, and it wasn't...
Why would having the builder mod it affect the after-market price negatively? After all, they are "The Builder" and the amp is "allegedly the Alpha & Omega". Surely, expanding the amps tonal ability to include what you feel it is lacking should make the value rise.
I like my Blackstars, and I have an assortment of them.
~Bought my first thru a FB marketplace ad where a dude was selling a pair of 5w. mini-halfstacks in white Tolex, cheap, and I bought both. Damn near new condition and they are great at low volume, and not too bad cranked. The controls are...
Now to do a little modding of the saddles and the nut-slots, and viola': Irrepairable damage!! LOL!! One less Bullet Squire in the world ain't gonna make anyone lose sleep, either way!
Thanx for posting that link, it is what I was looking for in many ways. String gauges/sizes are are so dependant on composition, (P, W, Steel, Bronze) tonally speaking, that it is a wonder than ANY sets ever got "standardized" in the first place. I did not realize just how complicated the...
I do appreciate the suggestions, which I did go look at BTW, and I thank you for indulging me that info, too. I am really curious to know what formula/method determins the gauges difference in a set, more accurately I want to know is there some math that I could do that tells me what the next...
O.K. This is where those who know about such things share with the class.
Specifically, I am pondering re-stringing a Strat' to be something sorta between baritone guitar and piccolo Bass. I like the idea of the Fender VI, and was thinking that if I were to increase the size of the strings...
I notice that OD2's voicing push-button produces no change, whereas OD1 and Clean both do change when the voicing is pushed. Wondering how big a deal that will be if/when it becomes one. It doesn't respond to the footswitch from my HT-5 heads either, so I guess I gotta get the footswitch for it...
