    so ive been taking a long hard look at bugera...

    From what I see on youtube, they sound awesome considering they're a fraction of their brand name counterpart, have a 3 year warranty (probly much longer than I'll own it), and many clips sound even better to my ear... Having a tough time deciding between a 333 or a 6262.. anyone have any...

    pickup selection advice.

    I have an alder warmoth soloist body, SSS rout, a padouk neck with an ebony board, and a Floyd... I play mostly Hendrix/SRV, EVH, Lynch, metallica, Tool, and even some country.... I was thinking maybe JBjr bridge, and cool rails neck..? Good choices? Maybe hot rails? What about middle? I...

    PA systems

    What are you using? I've got a cheapo 4ch harbinger (guitar center) 120watt with 1x12s with horns. Looking to upgrade, not because there's anything wrong with this one, just I want another one for a seperate larger space...

    mesa custom amp builder...

    Some of the prices, esp on cab covering upgrades are unbelieveable... But pretty none the less... Like interactive amp porn... Lol :D http://www.sweetwater.com/custom/mesa-boogie/

    duped on wattage...

    So my first guitar amp was a pignose 7-100 5w battery powered thing... I was just learning to play blues and after doing a lot of research, it seemed a 5w amp is pretty ideal for bedroom practice and such... The pignose was cheap and seemed to have tons of good reviews about its good tone... I...

    considering small portable tube amps...

    On one hand I think it would be awesome to have something like a Mesa Recto Verb 25 combo Or a Splawn Super Sport Because I'm all about heavy vintage crunch/overdrive But then run across stuff like the H&K Grandmeister 36 with a slew of channels and features (direct out, power soak, midi...)...

    modeling amp speaker options...

    I was thinking I should make a new baffle for my vox vt-20+, to rid of the weak sounding stock 8" speaker and fit a 12" speaker in there... First I assumed a guitar speaker would be right but it's a modeling amp and has aux inputs for iPod and such so then I was thinking a full range speaker...

    EQ question.

    It's my understanding that most vintage tube amps have passive eq's (only cut, not boost their respective frequency range)... So isn't setting the knobs at noon basicly just cutting away much of the signal? Shouldn't the "baseline" be all set at max then cut a bit of one or two if needed? Is...

    NGD!!! Takamine GD93ce

    Long story short... I decided I should get a cheap acoustic guitar ... So go to big box guitar store and find a Yamaha 710 with a lil scratch marked down to 150 from 200... Got home and put new strings on and just wasn't into it... No resonance or sustain and just not fun to play... So I decided...

    pick one...

    Alphabetically listed (what it has the others don't) - Charvel San Dimas (Original Floyd) - Ibanez RG655 (Wizard HP neck) - Jackson SL2Q (neck thru) I'm in the market for a new axe and am having a tough time deciding... I've played the Ibanez and Charvel but nobody near me stocks Jackson...
