IIRC, DD contained so many covers because they had to rush it to press. Dave and Al had this obsession with doing a video for Pretty Woman just to wave the flag while they took a year off. But it started becoming a hit on radio and WB told the band to shelve their vacation plans and get an...

My amp tech has bins and bins of NOS preamp tubes. When I want some, he just tells me to grab whatever I want, take them home and try them out, pay him for the ones I want to keep and bring back the rest. However, I kind of would like to get a very reliable and accurate tube tester. What...

I had this happen with a pistol barrel I shipped USPS Priority Mail. It went to one of those huge mailbox clusters in an HOA in FL. Their GPS said it was delivered and I'm sure it was, but to the wrong mailbox, which was probably no more than a few feet or even inches from the correct one, as...

My for sale, like new 2555x is under your budget, you can use any kind of power tubes you want, it has external bias points and does everything.

Here's how a used GC DSL40C arrived on my doorstep.

Yeah, you gotta know what you're looking for and you really have to know more than the guy who put the listing up. But at least you have a very generous return period.

You have to use their ignorance and incompetence to your advantage. They regularly mis-label stuff on their used site. They list a head as a combo, an EBMM Axis as an EVH Wolf, etc. You can snag some killer deals that way and that's all they're good for. I saw them list a real EBMM EVH as an...

Do a build. Get a killer Musikraft neck with stainless steel frets. Send a body out for paintwork and the collect hardware and electronics while you wait. You'll save money and have a killer guitar.

I bought a Mojotone kit that came with JJs. I was planning to put NOS in there right away, but the JJs sounded very good in it. I still have an addiction to buying NOS tubes I don't need. I would be very interested in these Western Electric tubes, if they ever hit the market at reasonable prices.

This was at The Music Store in Cologne, Germany in 2019. Man, I wanted this one so badly, but it'd have been tough to bring home, even without the power transformer issue.

I am selling mine. Just doesn't do it for me and I don't care about the loop feature. My Marshall Power Brake sounds way better to my ears.

The first fast lick in I'm the One intro is pretty tough to nail. Intro to Hang 'Em High is tricky, but can be mastered. Shuffle timing in Sinners Swing is tricky. My vote probably goes to most of the parts in Girl Gone Bad. But then Top Jimmy has some tricks too, as well as the Drop Dead...

I'm working in northern IN next week and plan to visit SW's campus next Sat. I have money burning a hole in my pocket, but don't really need anything unless it jumps out at me.

I've ordered two Musikraft necks and their quality is off the charts. I'll never go anywhere else. Buy once, cry once.

I'd like to see their quality control dept. I've had a lot of their EVH and Axis models and they are so uniformly great. I'd like to see what makes them weed the bad ones out or correct them.

Per this link, the white one is Shuguang and the red one is JJ. https://marshallforum.com/threads/stock-marshall-tube-codes.20734/

My 4010 slays! I love that amp. I feel like I overpaid for it, but then I fire it up and feel like it's worth every penny.

You can't go wrong with early-mid-80s Kramers, even the Focus and Striker series guitars. They were just well made and very playable. Yeah, they look dated, depending on how old you are and what kind of band you play in. But they are solid guitars. I have an '82 Pacer with the beak headstock...

To get Unchained to sound just right, you have to detune the B string just a hair. Really makes a difference.

About 21 yrs ago I was in the GC in Rockville, MD and they had a white Pacer with maple neck and beak headstock, OFR and EMGs for $220. I didn't play it. I grabbed it and ran to the counter. I foolishly parted it out for about $600 on eBay.
