    Any thoughts on the lollar supercaster?

    Interesting video from Lollar.... https://youtu.be/e8Kbaq0d7iA It's pretty much impossible to judge a pup from a video.. but it looks like Lawler may have come up with a new recipe that might be kind of interesting. It looks like these pups are positioned for strat players who want more...

    What elements contribute to a growly bass?

    I've played quite a few growley bases over the years.. Rickenbacker's easily growl and some J basses get there. By far the growliest base of ever played was the Ovation Magnum.. think Don't stop believing. One of the wonderful things about the Magnum was it maintained a very heavy low end...

    Anyone have experience with the RevStar focus switch?

    I have a student who just picked up the standard rev star 2hb and it's a monster as you probably know.. From my pov, just about everything you would want in a Les Paul but better build better feel etc... However, this one has the focus switch on it and for the life of me I can't find positives...

    Guys I've played classical guitar most of my life, however I've become recently interested in bossa Nova and realize I would prefer all steel strings... I'd like to look for a classical size guitar that is designed for very light tension steel strings but I'm not entirely sure what to look...

    Big thought experiment

    Guys you've been kind enough to walk me through some electronics that I couldn't get my head around in the past, but I've reached a point where I really need to understand more. My problem is I think of electronics like plumbing and I think that is what is messing up my thinking...

    Info about Alan Holdsworth harness?

    I'm a Holdsworth nut and wondering if anyone is familiar with his "harness". It's definitely a power attenuator but I'm wondering if it has other properties and how it impacted his sound. Haven't looked at utube vids.. figured I would start with the gurus first;)
