    Price check an old Marshall cab?

    So he offered it to me for $700+tax. Sounds like that's on the high end of reasonable but still reasonable. I'll take an amp in and demo it. Apparently these 444/55hz speakers sound different from the more common 75Hz/1777 cones. Edit: also, it seems this is probably a 1982a speaker, not a 1960...

    Price check an old Marshall cab?

    This is tagged as a 1981 or 1982 Marshall 1960 with Celestion G12-80's. The head sitting on it is not for sale. The one T number I can make out from the photo is T2876, which gives this from Bygone Tones: T2876 G12-80 Ceramic 15 Ohm cone stamp - 444 - Marshall label So this does seem like...

    Opinions / Help me find parts to customize my mim strat

    I've been really happy with a Gotoh 510 6pt trem on my Warmoth build. I also got the Hipshot GripLock tuners that can install into any size tuner reams. I've been very happy with my overall tuning stability. No string tree necessary. I'd also look into replacing the nut.

    18 years ago today

    I wasn't into Pantera at the time. I knew of them but just hadn't really come around yet. Was really into Megadeth. Junior in HS. My pre-calc teacher was fighting to hold back tears the next day. He was still in his early 20's and a huge prog and metal head. Dime was just huge for him. He very...

    Mid gain pedals

    I'd look into the Earthquaker Plumes. I've only used its modeled version (Pillars in Helix), but even though it's a TS derived pedal, it really gets to Hendrix Axis: Bold as Love type tones with a Strat, akin to a Fuzz Factory with your guitar volume down a bit.

    Mid gain pedals

    Bogner Ecstasy Blue pedal is pretty sweet for this.

    Not a bad buy for those gassing Sp77

    I shop at Midwest Buy and Sell a lot. Yeah, they messed up the name... they are not very tech savvy. They do test the gear before taking it in. But they are the best kept secret in Chicago. I don't need/want that preamp but this place is honestly my favorite guitar/amp shop I've ever been to...

    Fryette customer service sucks dog dicks for quarters.

    This has also been my experience. Hard to get them, but once you do, it's a quick turnaround/resolution. I actually bought a CLX from Guitar Center used in not good condition (visible issue was broken EQ sliders), and had them ship it direct to Fryette. Was able to coordinate pretty well. They...

    Where can a buy a headshell for an amp?

    I'd check out Sourmash also. But depending on the model in question, I'd be surprised if Fryette won't take care of you.

    What is the piece of gear you have been most disappointed in trying or purchasing?

    Had a 1977 2203 that was an icepick factory. Ouch. BKP VH2 and Mothers Milk… both were disappointments. Mesa Roadster. That switching delay killed me. JCM 800 4210 (1983) was also an icepick factory.

    Hendrix Marshall for sale on the bay

    I feel like John Frusciante or John Mayer... maybe Mike McCready are the only players who are alive and have enough money to buy this and actually use it and are clearly influenced enough by Hendrix for it to make sense. If a real guitarist doesn't buy it, I hope the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

    Anybody use Line 6 Helix ?

    The next update is expected to drop anytime and is widely expected to have completely redone cab blocks from their Metallurgy plugins, which got rave reviews fwiw. My go to amps in there are the Badonk, Archetypes, plexi trem, Placater, and Brit 2204. Badonk is crazy responsive to my guitar...

    Marshall 4010 Converted to a Head

    I have a 4010 I've been wanting to do this to. I've considered just building it as practice for doing finger box joints and learning how to wrap tolex, but I've seen Sourmash's stuff and think a shell from him would be ideal. There's also a shop out of Indiana that will make you a...

    Your Studio Monitors

    I just bought a pair of JBL 305's that I'm really enjoying. But this is my first pair of monitors, so I went based on reviews compared to other monitors in the same price range. I'm not disappointed with the sounds. Mainly use it for playing my Helix at home.

    What pedal do you own 2 of?

    I still have my SD-1... I have a Helix Floor and IMHO the modeled version doesn't really do what the original does, especially as a boost. The SD-1 has been my go-to pedal since I was 18 years old and I just haven't found anything (TS, OCD, EP, Helix Stupor Drive, etc) that does what it does, as...

    When exactly did Celestion change V30's for the worse?

    From Steve Fryette around 2012: @SQUAREHEAD I'm hoping this answers your question. I'm inferring from Fryette that the T3987 was still in production at least as of when he wrote the above and his use of present tense when talking about it.

    Most underrated drummer?

    I think Porcaro gets his fair due. He’s cited a lot, particularly for the Rosanna shuffle, Steely Dan, and Thriller.
