For some reason I just had to check out warmoth's showcase. So, I notice they have PRS imitations (VIP) and I found some resonable stuff. I'm wondering how this would sound. What it would be comparable to, ect. Body: PRS copy (VIP), Black Limba Neck: Warmoth conversion 24 3/4" fatback...

Just me and my acoustic, added a very slight reverb, nothing too impressive as far as recording skills, but I'd really like to know what you guys / girls think of the vocals. I included a poll so that you could vote and tell me what you think if you don't want to post a message. So, here it is...

I just got a Hamer from musicians friend and it does have the peel-off plastic stuff on the back of the cover that covers the pots (I don't know what it's called:smack: ) but none on the pickups or anywhere else. Do new guitars usually have the plastic on the pickups (covered humbuckers) or...

Just wondering what other Mesa owners are using for speakers and what you're getting out of them with your amp. Me, I'd like to improve the tightness of the bass of my recto. Right now I use two eminence 'the governer' speakers in a 4X12 w/two dummy speakers to keep it a closed back cab. I...

I may be jumping the gun here because I might like the stock pups (It's the GAS :banghead: ), but I'm wondering what type of pup would get me best into a sound sort of like chevelle. I Know, it's not a PRS and they play Mark IV amps, but I'm just trying to get in the ballpark with my own tone...

I hate wanting a guitar and not being able to find it in the few places I know, so if you have any retailers you know post them here Here's a few www.sweetwater.com www.samash.com www.musiciansfrien.com that's it for me

Can anyone tell me if there is a lot of difference in a PRS SE or similar guitar with a trem or a stop tail piece? I want the stoptail and I wouldn't be using the trem, but the only one I can find is a trem and I'm not wanting to wait:smack: So, can anyone tell me if there would be a...

I'm running my amp through a 4X12 cab, but I'm only using two of the speakers. I have the other two in there to keep the closed back sound. My question is this: The other guitarist in my band has a crappy amp and my bassest has a JCM 800 head. Since I only run 2 speakers in the 4X12 cab for...

We were checking out my bassist's JCM 800 100w last night and he was asking me about tubes (as I just tube my Mesa) and he wants to retube. However, I know you're supposed to bias these amps and there is more work to it than just swapping. So, can anyone give me a full tutorial on what we'd...

Would selling my MIA Strat and buying a top of the line Epiphone Les Paul Custom or a PRS SE Single cut custom be a good idea? I want a dual humbucker, mahogany, ect guitar again, but I'm worried I'd be down grading too much. I like the Strat with a CC, but for some reason I think I'd be...

Like the Drake, Mercury Magnetics, and such (heck I don't even know if I'm spelling their names right). What are some major differences? What kind of OT does a Recto have? Other manufactures? Where in the world are you finding this information?:laugh2:

After selling the Paul I bought from JeffB, I'm thinking I want a Les Paul type guitar but Much Cheaper. I've been thinking about selling my MIA Strat and getting a good dual humbucker, set neck guitar with the proceeds. I'm really looking at a Epi Les Paul Custom, but I'd like to get some...

Rocks! Soooo Much better than the factory tubes. I bought a set of preamp tubes and a selection of power amp tubes(EL34L, 6L6, and the KT-77s) from eurotubes.com and the difference is night and day. This hiss is a shadow of what it was, unless you set the gain and the treble up real high it's...

Thanks in advance. :)

I was thinking of how much more of a difference a pup (or magnet) swap made in my strat over my LP. Is this true for the rest of you guys, or are my Gibson pups very similar to a C-5? Also, when I changed the magnet in the C-5 to A2 and made it a CC in the strat, it was a HUGE difference...
