So I bought a Mesa Boogie DC2 (1x12 combo amp) from a guy in California and I'm getting one story after another on his shipping woes. :smack: He doesn't have the original box. So he double boxed the amp and UPS rejected the package because it wasn't boxed properly!?!? So I told the guy to go...

I've been looking for a low(er)-powered (30-watts or less) multi-channel tube combo amp for a while now. There's definitely not much to choose from if you want 2 independent channels. I was really fond of the Rivera Clubster 25 but I could never find one used and I didn't want to spend $900...

Anyone else have one of these? I finally upgraded my computer (after 7 years) and I decided it was time for the Firepod. I can record 8 channels at one time!! 1 - lead guitar 2 - rhythm guitar 3 - bass guitar 4 - lead vocals 5 - kick drum 6 - snare drum 7 and 8 - above cymbals I've been...

... just the strat pups and necessary hardware. I've got a lefty Mexican strat that I keep down at my parents in FLA so I have something to play when I visit. But I can't stand the stock pups... yuk! So I'm looking to upgrade. I'd be willing to take anything that sounds better than the...

Well I finally got off my a$$ and took pictures... and plenty of them!! First the guitars.... My number one... 1978 Les Paul Custom (loaded w/ C5 bridge, Jazz neck) closer look showing TP6 fine tuners and mini toggles for coil taps.... and headstock w/ bone nut.... For funkier stuff...

Really weird. I took my Clyde Deluxe off my pedal board and brought to my buddies house because he's in the studio later this week and wants to use it. So up until then I've never had trouble with it. I get to his place and he plugs it in and starts wah'ing and then all of a sudden the...

I scored one for $160 of eBay and got it this weekend. I'm using it w/ my Dual Rectifier (3-channel) and Marshall 1960A cab. So I plugged it in and pumped my master to 1:00 (normally 8:30) and to be honest... I was a little disappointed. My tone was a little flubby. I don't think it's a...

Yup... heavy bummer. But thanks to the fine folks at Mesa Engineering I have a handy little switch in the back to bypass the tube rectifier and switch to the solid state one! So I was able to continue practicing. So I thought now is the perfect time to re-tube my entire Boogie (4+ years old)...

I've got a sunburst Jazzmaster and I'd love to put a gold anodized pickguard on it but there's a problem.... I'M A LEFTY!!! I can't find one! So I was wondering if I got a right-handed one if I could use the backside of it. I just want to make sure the backside is finished/polished like the...

This thing definitely looks over the top (in a good way)... www.fulltone.com

I'm going absolutely crazy here :yell: :yell: :yell: Both the bridge (really bad) and the neck (not as bad) squeal uncontrollably. My Les Paul is loaded with a C5 bridge and Jazz neck, both with gold covers. The guitar is wired in the Jimmy Page configuration (coil taps on each via mini...

I've put this off way too long... anyone out there have an 8 ohm Hot Plate for sale? Thanks, -Jay

I'm dropping off my beloved 1978 Les Paul Custom for a fret job today... I feel like I'm sending my kid off to Summer Camp!!! I don't even have kids!!! I've never been without this guitar since I bought it 14 years ago and now it's gonna be gone for a month!!! How do I cope??? I can't play...

Soldanonians, My buddy has a 2x12 Astroverb 16 and one of his power tubes just went on him last night at practice. It was a Sovtek EL84. He's had the amp about a year and that got him to thinking about trying different power and preamp tubes for it and keeping the stock ones as back-ups...

Well I finally bit the bullit and decided to get the fret job done on my Les Paul. It's a 1978 and has needed one for a while now. I've been hesitant and freaked out because I'm afraid that the guitar will be completely different when I get it back. This is my baby... I've played it...
