I saw these pop up recently and thought it was kind of humorous. One, the red model screams Jack Butler (cool, I like that). Two, they are advertising the J90c and J50 for the pickups as a "thing". From what I remember of these pickups, they are what led me to replace them with Duncans back...

I have a few amps, the one that always puts a smile on my face is the Uberschall. It's the sound in my head.....Van Halen 1 meets And Justice For All. So much fun. Thump, but defined, mids that rip your face off like We Die Young from AIC, articulate like Yngwie and early EVH. For you older...

My brother-in-law and his band stopped in for a day about two months ago to record six tunes. Here are a couple all done with my gear, they just brought beer - good times were had by all. They were in the middle of singer transition, so no male vocals yet (I think we will be doing those in...

Here are some random basement pics: A couple of inexpensive, but decent playing and sounding things up front (the Epi has a PRS in the bridge and a '59n). Two US Peavey Cirrus basses A few Ibby Prestiges (one being my signed JS1200, Joe was cool) A handful of US Charvels My Fender Strat, and...

Just spent a good hour tearing up the Mark V with a couple of guitars. JS1200 The Fred is cool, kind of like the Full Shred without the definition in the low end. Very vocal, fun to play on. The PAF Joe is my favorite neck pup from DM...probably because is sounds a lot like the '59n. RG1570 I...

The Bogner Fish. I just got done recording a band and have been mixing down the tracks (all originals - kind of Foo Fighterish in a lot of spots). Anyway, the guitar player isn't the most technically proficient, but a decent player and very good writer (should be, he is also the lead singer...

Line Test This is just a quick little mix from doing some line tests and setting gates and compressors for a band coming next week. I can't really play drums - but I was trying to smack the crap out of them; the drummer coming in is a gorilla with sticks. I was randomly playing things for all...

I need another delay (for the Mesa Stiletto). The loop is not switchable on this amp so the bypass has to be top notch! I have an EHX Stereo Memory Man Deluxe, currently in one of the Road King loops. I would get another if I can't something else fun to try out. I love it and the bypass is...

Has anyone else heard that? I heard it yesterday from one of my favorite dealers. The scoop I got was that the Charvel US Production will series will move to Japan (and no longer be called US Production of course), but likely to stay the same price. I guess Charvel (FMIC) has said that they...

I just felt like reflecting on the JB for a moment. Just about any guitar (except Fender and Gibson) came with a JB back in the day and many still do. I alway thought it was OK, it did the job and sounded decent enough, but I always changed the pups to something like a DD, EMGs, PAFs...

The rack of doom is coming together well. I am still waiting on a power amp(Fryette/VHT), but the Peavey Classic 120/120 is doing very well in the mean time. I need some input on rack FX units. I am looking for US made, badass, and around the $1K to $2K range. I don't need any...

...and bought a Bogner Fish reissue. Is it that good? Yes. Is it worth the price? Yes Is it better than anything else out there? No Is there something else better than the Fish? No And don't ask for pics, there are a ton on the web that look just like the Fish I bought. It is true that when...

I saw the cover of some catalogue from an online store and the guy had what looked like tape wrapped around the strings above the nut (in-between the tuning posts and the nut) and also wrapped around the strings between the tail piece and the saddles of a TOM type bridge.... What purpose does...

Hey guys, PRS for a good price. I just copied and pasted my Craigslist add. First come, first serve. This is a PRS Custom 24 20th Anniversary model with in emerald green over a flame maple top (not listed as a 10 Top, but is beautiful) with gold hardware, moon inlays. The top has been done with...

Yeah, we know of the Mark I, the Mark IIC+, the Mark IV, the Recto. All are a bit iconic, but it just seems that Mesa keeps getting better. It seems the range, quality, and price points of their wide line of amps is just tough to compete with. The more I read of the Electrodyne, the more I want...
