    I Have the Tweed... need speaker recommendations.

    I have a Mesa California Tweed. 1/10/20 watts. 10" Jensen. By itself it's lovely. My Greenback 2x12 open cab works nicely with it. My V30 closed cab not so much. Obviously a P type Jensen is a logical candidate. Any favorites for a 6V6 Tweed rig for an auxiliary 2x12 open or closed? The...

    Newest Killer Dirt Box!

    I've always fancied myself a bit of a chemistry buff and thought why not put a few theories to the test. Now we had the glorious old dirt boxes of the past with germanium transistors. Not long after silicon became the standard and that's where we still rock. Today I am pleased to announce my...

    Where are all the Greenbacks?

    Well we could all use a few more of those kinda greenbacks but seems the 16 ohm version are on a ship somewhere. Sweetwater, MF, GC, Amazon...all back ordered. Had to resort to Stewmac Lord's sake! Anyway. Hope your new gear is on a shelf or a lorry and not on boat.

    Have you looked at the major scale this way?

    Parts of my guitar acumen are you might say (OK you WOULD say) limited. So yesterday I sat down at the beginning: our old friend the major scale. Now, fret board knowledge is also a gaping puss filled wound around my house so no time like the present. I created this quite by accident but I...

    Question for the RAT users.

    Pulled out my old R2DU the other day and cleaned it all up while waiting on a power supply from Amazon. Anyway, fired it up last night while watching Buffalo destroy NE. There is a pronounced loss of bass when it's engaged that I don't remember it having. Might just be me though as I don't...

    Good guitar techs.

    It's nice to have one. I know a guy named Joe. Great player. He toured with Chubby Checker many moons back. Told me an interesting story but I won't repeat it here as it was in confidence. Anyhoo, he fixed the rough fret ends on my Charvel and gave it a nice set-up. Had it back to me in a...

    Show us your stereo, w/d and w/d/w rigs!

    Re: Show us your stereo, w/d and w/d/w rigs! Never fooled with any kind of stereo live but in the attic I've got quite a few options. I can mic a cab and/or run direct to the board. From there it can get routed to the Elac towers and sub or the Equator D5' or to the other side of the...

    NGD Charvel

    Re: NGD Charvel It's here. Brand new axe with aging pedals into a 1973 amp...and everybody's getting along just fine! Even Bean seems to approve. Sounds great. Like the neck and frets are smooth. Action could come down jeeest a tad. I'm sure there's a youtube vid for adjusting a Floyd...

    NGD Charvel

    Arrives in a few days. Have never owned a locking trem guitar so this sort of completes the major guitar food groups for me.

    'The Paul' is coming back

    Re: 'The Paul' is coming back I got an original with an amp for 250 back in 1983.

    Rain Song Guitars...thoughts?

    The appeal of carbon fiber from a durability and consistency point of view is intriguing to say the least. Anybody tried one of these things? Nearest dealer to me is north of the DC beltway...more than a hop skip and 'a jump. They aren't ridiculously priced either. This puppy caught my...

    Speaker recommendations 73 Fender Pro Reverb

    I've had a host of different speakers in the thing since I bought it. (the original Utah's were utter crap) It's always sounded great but damn it's quite loud around the sweet spot. So I'm looking at P12Q @ 32 ohm (Jensen) as they offer a tame 92.3dB sensitivity with good power handling...

    NPB Day. aka Man It's Been A While.

    I haven't played much electric these past few years but I'm getting the itch again. Singing songs and cowboys chords is still my first love and forte but sometimes you've just got to get some tubes 'a cookin', some crunch 'a crunchin' and some swirl 'a swirlin'. With some Gilmour and May...

    New Amp Review. Boss Acoustic Singer Live

    Let's get this out of the way. First: price...$500. Second: I like it a lot. I have had a Fishman Loudbox mini ($330) for some time and though great too it lacks a few bells and whistles that you get with the Boss. The ASL is the little brother to Boss' Acoustic Singer Pro ($700). Both...
