    Derek St Holmes and Ted Nugent live in the 70's. Fuuuuck!!!

    Big Ted fan here. I will never forget coming home from my local record shop in 1978 with Double Live Gonzo in hand. I played that thing till there were no more grooves! I got up to Scream Dream and kinda lost touch with his music after that point. Derek St. Holmes in my opinion is not...

    EVH Wolfgang pickups and the EVH Frankie pickup. What do you think of them?

    Yeah, then that would exclude it from being the same as the Baretta Special pickup I would think. Although, I am assuming - I never checked the backplate or anything to see if country of origin is referenced.

    EVH Wolfgang pickups and the EVH Frankie pickup. What do you think of them?

    How much you wanna bet that "Eruption" pickup is what comes installed in the El Cheapo Kramer Baretta Special?? That pickup is indeed a 15K-ish Alnico 5 Humbucker. Just a thought.

    RIP Bernie.... thank you.

    This news simply blows. RIP Bernie. I love those early WS albums. Live In The Heart Of The City is a kick ass live album.

    Pedal Repair?

    Same here. My EVH Flanger was out of warranty and they charged me $0.00. You can't beat that with a stick.

    Pedal Repair?

    Contact Dunlop directly. I believe they have a flat fee for out of warranty repairs.

    Oh dear... New Dokken video..

    Let's go Brandon! :) Yes - this song is pretty bad. And I am not talking "James Brown" bad either. What's worse is, Don sounds light years better on this studio track than live these days - the latter is an absolute abomination that no one has the right to charge money to see.

    FedEx.. Again? WTF??

    Fed Ex has been reliable for me here in Northern NJ in terms of on time delivery, accurate tracking etc. However..... My Fed Ex guy likes to practice his "free throws" with my packages. I have seen him (and have him on camera) literally launching my packages like a basketball from like 20 feet...

    JJ 12AX7 turns white and dies.

    Over 40 years of playing tube amps and I have never had a preamp tube lose vacuum and go white. That was, until last year. My Rivera R100 had three of these within as many weeks! V1 and V2 spots, a mix of Chinese 12ax7s and JJCC83. I was told there is nothing mechanical within the amp that...

    Fedex are fuckers

    Most of my stuff comes Fed Ex ground and the guy that delivers, stands on our front lawn about 15 feet from our porch and lobs the package on my porch like he is shooting free throws. I have him on camera, I am thinking of finding who this douches boss is and pitching a bitch.

    Guitar techniques you can't do?

    I cannot play slide worth a damn. I “palm” the slide ala Blackmore- that’s the best I can do. ?

    Best Buffer ....

    That's the Bonafide Buffer. I use the same pedal at the start of my chain - works great to keep the signal strong with no audible loss in high end. I briefly swapped it out for a Boss TU-3 which gets props for it's buffer and I did not like it nearly as much. It had a strange, "tizzy" sound...

    Thanks JHS! Bad Monkey trending UP $$

    I'm just catching on to this, I had no idea the BM was the hot thing right now! These prices - wow, just wow. I have one - new and in the box. But I will not take advantage and sell it for these prices. Not because I don't need the cash, it has been compared to the Klon after all :-) What's...
