Re: Very RARE SH-9 Silverbird "J" It's nothing like the El Diablo, Iommi, Slug, etc. Currently the pickup is with a reviewer/blogger who is doing a write-up on it. That's part of the reason I put it up for sale now. He can either send it back to me in a couple days when he's done, or he can...

Here it is, folks, the infamous and elusive SH-9 Silverbird humbucker, having appeared in a Zion Silverbird guitar. As you can see, this one (like the only other 2 I've seen in my life) was wound by Maricela Juarez as indicated on the sticker. Comes complete with plenty of lead, and the...

Re: Inactive Coil(s) Heh...I'm pretty sure no one reading believes I've made your case, but congratulations on winning your personal internet today.

Re: Searched, could not find info:scatter, loose, tight, normal wind I'm not trying to play psychiatrist here, but the same is true if, as a contrarian, you've decided that an industry veteran must be selling snake oil and marketing fluff, simply because the projects are monetized. I mean, take...

Re: Lets see those pedal boards you are using right now. As of a couple days ago...

"A reeeealllly good one"...This is an 80s Alnico II Pro that was wound by MJ, that has been rightly used and aged. There's a good amount of lead left for a 30 year old pickup. This would have been right around the Appetite era. It is the Bridge model, which is still within range to function as...

Re: My power supply died at my gig last week... The importance of backups. Well poop on a stick. Then yeah. Backup required. Like I said I've gone through 3 Twin Tube wall warts, but those are AC and working pretty hard. They get so hot they sometimes deform the plastic. Had one pop open on...

Re: Weeping Demon Review the board has changed a bit since this photo, but you get the idea.

Re: So, am I making a 78 here? What would be the difference? Here's some random wire supplier's table, which shows .0002" difference between min, nom, and max. If you're working with min/nom, you're on the thinner side. If you're working with nom/max you're on the thicker side. And all those...

Boom, 2 4558's, and some EQ. Sounds fantastic. Anyone who has a chance to get one, do it. Found this one just hanging out at a Sam Ash, all lonely. I'm sure it was "metaly" in the 80s when it came out, by today's standards though, with the gain mid-way it's a booteek drive more than anything else.

I have one billionty pedals and don't need them all. Found a must-have vintage cab that matches my vintage head so act fast or I'm going to trade these in! UPDATE: Vox Satchurator is SOLD, below is a revised list, now with photos: Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion. Pseudo-DS-1 plus turbo...

Re: Holy Sweet Jeebus! Anyone here read Guitar Player this month? Thanks guys, and for the record, they're around $3k. What a great and humbling review, and another magazine is slated to review the Jumbo this spring. I haven't nailed down Guitar Player's policy on reprints and sharing in this...
