    new 1/2 stack day, cat hair included

    It popped up on the local CL last weekend. Head and cab are from '91, made in Hollyweird. Picked up head and cab for $1k less than what I paid for my last Seattle-made head alone. Seller did not know what he had. It does have a slightly different tone than my other one, I think. It's been around...

    Tom Murphy is flaky.

    The problem is using the wrong pore filler process with the low-plasticizer nitro lacquer. This was told to Gibson by about a half dozen well known luthiers who were refinishing these R9's when it first started happening. Of course, that fell on deaf ears because Gibson & Murphy think they know...

    Apparently there's a supposed rumour of a C+ reissue

    Gibson is just being fricking Gibson with their reissue marketing mentality I wish Ford & Chevy would wake up to this and reissue some old trucks. Carburators, analog everything, thicker sheet metal, 3-on-the-tree, blah, blah, blah. Ok, rant over. Where's my damn coffee....

    EDDIE VAN HALEN MINI-DOCUMENTARY: The Early Guitars In His Own Words | The Journey to Frankenstein

    Yup. Plain jane northern hard ash, and kinda heavy. This is what Lynn Ellsworth told me and a few buddies decades ago. We were at the Boogie Bodies shed to buy some necks.

    Are these Chinese or UK V30's

    If you see a white sticker label on the back of the speaker or the side of the magnet with the number "50" printed somewhere on it, that number means "Made in China".

    PNW amp fest idea?

    I think Rig-Talk'rs up here in the left corner (Seattle-Portland) need to gather and let the tubes breathe.

    an Amp at my cabin

    Nope. My drummer's locked studio is a sub-room inside his garage, and I don't even leave guitar picks there. Gear always has a tendency to sprout legs and walk away no matter where you leave it.

    What's the best contact cleaner for 1/4" jacks in amps and guitars?

    Yup. I use the same kind of brush. You can get them at any gun store (22 cal.). I like to squirt a little cleaner on the bristles, chuck it up in my Makita, and run it through the jack while twisting. Then I'll wrap the brush with one layer of a torn-off piece of paper towel and run it back thru...

    Have your say in a very ambitious project

    If someone could just once and for all do a true and honest disection of the most amazing sounding '59 Bassmans (the actual ones used on tons of recordings that studios and collectors wouldn't sell regardless of the rediculous offers) and then produce an amp that is indistinguishable in tone and...

    Second External Speaker Jack?

    I think whoever drew that diagram got it wrong. From what I've read and seen with my own eyes at a couple shows, the Suhr Iso box goes between the Marshall head and the 4x12. Then the line out from that box feeds the the HRD chain.

    The Mesa Boogie Quad: Still worth it in 2024?

    I go thru mental cycles to get rid of mine off and on. But every time I fire it up with the 295 and a couple cabs, I just shake my head....nope, staying put.
