Re: SD Custom Bass Pup.... YOU MUST TELL THEM HOW IT SOUNDS

Re: Wow! This Guy Makes Some Wicked Amps

Re: kombi custom they're a funky little car, i like the style EDIT: and i won't hear another bad word about the fairmont, thank you...

SD, i like you too much to remain silent. the current debauchery in the guise of zephyr-related threads is damaging to the company. somewhere on the east coast, larry dimarzio and the guy from GFS are laughing their arses off. can i get a like or a +1 from those in agreement? this is not an...

Re: Boston's Tom Sholz and Gibson releasing signature guitar mmm hmm. but for ten grand, gibson can, as ever, go eff themselves.

Re: Value HH tele? that green schecter is a good looking piece of gear, but from the terms "value" and "H/H" my search engine gives only 1 result: i got the 2xP90 version, but the body was routed for either, so i got a spare scratchplate from an guitar parts guru and have geared it up with...

Re: Making my Les Paul Sound Better i like blueman. he's consistent, i respect that : ] edit@3:35PM: plus, i have oft been accused of sounding like one of the old dudes from the muppets, and strongly feel that they're being completely taken out of context and misrepresented. edit@3:37PM...

Re: Prelude to a new Acey-Deucey Custom / NGD i'm liking the sick bright green vibe... get some fluorescent green paint, the green strings, and get a bit satch on it i would have a good look at the liner notes from blue dream, and perhaps white zombie, over a beer first. maybe read some...

Re: Lucille wiring issue.. hey, glenn, my boy, there's nothing at all wrong with being a "fender guy". could i interest you in a baritone tele? :firedevil

my LP badly needs a fret job. i'm undecided as to whether to take it to "the city" for repair, and after the amount of tweaking i've done with the PGn and PGP set in there i'm reluctant to take it offline. but i badly needed a daily driver/beater/test-bed. i'd decided previously that the...

and will soon be selling some pedals! was inspired to try them through new amps and speakers i've picked up since packing these away, and am quite amazed at how much my taste and "ear" has changed. there's a mesa v-twin that i used to love, which now sounds harsh and fake (except the clean...

i have a PG+ and i quite like it. i understand that these were designed as a PGb with a volume/output boost, and the A5 was used to compensate the effect of adding a few hundred turns on the resonant peak; if i were to swap an A2 in, how far from a regular PGb would it be? would this be closer...

DISCLAIMER: they're both used pickups. i know this is sacrilege here, and that it's very early days... but i'm decidedly underwhelmed so far! old gibbo (chambered LP mkIII w/ebony) needed a bit of love, so i didn't get finished until late in the evening and have only made minimal adjustments...

please forgive the difficult questions and the noob-ish nature of this thread. i've owned a supertwin before, so i can't be talked out of categorically liking these horrible CBS circuits; what can my more learned and experienced forum brothers tell me about these? a glance at the schematic...

in 'the guitar shop' right now. it is inspiring.
