    Deals missed out on...

    We see threads where someone got an amazing deal and we wonder how they got so lucky. What are some deals you've come across but for whatever reason you had to miss out on it? Yesterday on CL I saw a pawn shop with a charvel bass for $200. I check it out and it's a 3B, neck through, active...

    Effects Loop boost -10db to +4db, how??

    Ok so I've been going through a Metallica kick lately and it's got me reading Flemming's studio notes again, the one thing that has me puzzled is his "quad level" box that converts the signal in the loop from the amp to the PEQ, then back from the PEQ to the amp. According to Mesa the loop is...

    Mesa Mark III, What is this...?

    I opened my blue stripe Mark III today to take a look around and snap some pics to compare to other gut shots. I found this weird little box that I can't find in any other mark III's. Anyone have an idea what this is? The board around it looks burnt and the solder job isn't the cleanest so...

    Stonetone Granite vs Brass A/B test

    Hey guys, so from the Stonetone thread I'm sure many of you remember I decided to contact the owner about making him a video. I said he send me a block, I make a couple of videos doing a comparison, I keep the block. He agreed and here we are. He wasn't the most popular guy in the other...

    James Hetfield at GC

    I kind of felt the opposite about that interview. Don't know why but it just rubs me the wrong way, kind of like he's so disconnected from the person he used to be that even when he talks about the past it's like it's just a story. After all the interviews and videos of him I've seen this one...

    The most annoying thing EVER...

    Hey guys, I'm making this thread as an experiment so please bear with me. Tell me, what do you HATE about guitar-ism? What drives you crazy, what can't you believe is still a problem we have to deal with? I'm not talking about playing necessarily. I don't mean "why can't I play sweeps faster...

    Thick Hi Gain Amp Under $2k???

    So lucky me, my wife has landed a nice new job and for me having to sell gear to pay bills she decided to buy me a new amp. I think she's crazy but she insists. :lol: :LOL: Anyways I've been really eye-ing an uberschall for a while but not 100% sure it's the best choice for me. Basically I'm...

    Giant acoustic foam blocks???

    I've been looking for these things for a few years and haven't got the slightest luck. I've seen these in Metallica videos as far back as "year and a half...". Basically said they're 10in thick pieces of foam, but seem to be much much higher density to where it has some structural support...

    So tried the new Bogner pedals today...

    Gotta say I was pretty impressed with the xtc ones, not as much with the uber. I was mostly interested in the uber pedal, first plugged it into a JCM800 2204 with soldano 2x12 open back with eminence legends with an EVH wolfgang. With the gain maxed, volume maxed (on pedal), and boost on it...

    Need some info on this Marshall

    So at the Tampa Guitar Center we have a nice vintage JCM800, only problem is it doesn't look like any other JCM800 I've seen before. After some googling I found it's a JCM800 1959, lead master. What I can't figure out though is, is it a JCM800 or a 1959? It's a non master volume, 100 watt...

    Does this Mark III sound right?

    I've heard much about how the Mesa Mark III has massive amounts of gain, much more than most people would use. Well I finally got one a few months ago curing 6 years of GAS. While I absolutely love the amp it's got me wondering. There's not near the gain I expected, I can definitely live with...

    Best amp for overall AIC tone??

    So I've been reading a bit about Jerry Cantrell's tone and I still have a few questions. I understand he used a bogner modded marshall for facelift, Fish preamp for dirt along with other amps, a bogner XTC, Shiva, and Ubershall all at other times in his career. So a bogner modded marshall...

    6505 vs 6505+ RHYTHM channel

    Ok so this isn't the normal 6505 vs 6505+ thread. I'm really liking the tone I get from my 6505+ but I've noticed I strongly prefer using the rhythm channel with gain at about 9 instead of the lead with gain at 5-ish. Much thicker, darker, and less fizzy. Also there's this awful midrangey...

    6505+ 8 pin ribbon cable help!!

    Ok I'll try to keep this short. My amp shorted out or something the other day. I opened it up and all the tubes and fuses were fine but I noticed a small burn on a ribbon cable running from the main board to the power tube board. A little research and it seems the middle 2 prongs are what...
