    Amp Damaged in Shipping - Question

    This happened to me, but I was the seller and I packed the EVH 100w Stealth in the original box just the way it had been packed when new. FedEx obviously dumped it from a top shelf and it landed on a corner. A transformer came loose and took out all the tubes like they were bowling ball pins...

    Looks like Marshall amps are getting ready to be available again in the US

    Ok, riddle me this. A little over a year ago Marshall prices got slashed by around 40%. Maybe some of it had to do with Sam Ash's circling the drain, but, up until they turned out the lights, they were still taking orders for new Marshalls for a song. I wanted an SV20H and had one on order...

    Looks like Marshall amps are getting ready to be available again in the US

    I got a week time out on TGP once for responding to someone who claimed I had voted for import duties and writing a lower value on the customs declaration was hypocritical.

    Looks like Marshall amps are getting ready to be available again in the US

    I don't know how they could figure it all out. I just bought a BMW three weeks ago, so I'm good for a while. And I can't think of any routine purchases I make of stuff made abroad. I have enough Marshalls, guns, guitars, etc. For liquor I buy Maker's Mark and Kirkland vodka at Costco. I...

    Looks like Marshall amps are getting ready to be available again in the US

    Does anyone know how country of origin is determined for something like a Marshall? If it's actually assembled in Vietnam, but the company is based in the UK, which is it?

    Guns N’ Roses Reportedly Hire New Drummer

    I saw Steven at NAMM a while back. He was talking with Rikki Rocket at his booth and I was standing right there. He seemed ok. His stroke is still apparent from his speech, but he had a perma-grin on his face and seemed pretty with it.

    Guns N’ Roses Reportedly Hire New Drummer

    I'm tiptoeing here, but I just don't think it can be that hard to find a drummer for old GnR tunes. Appetite has a ton of great signature drum work, but I don't think it's that technically challenging. I absolutely love Steven's and Matt's work on the first few albums. I totally lost interest...

    Looks like Pariah reverse engineered the EBMM EVH/Axis pickups......did they succeed?

    Jalen makes them in any form you want. I have one that's a clear bobbin with four conductor wire, two in double cream in a Les Paul, a few zebras, all in four conductor wire and wired up for parallel or coil-splitting. Fender missed the boat here. I thought the Frankenstein pickup would be...

    Looks like Pariah reverse engineered the EBMM EVH/Axis pickups......did they succeed?

    I thought I read that Ed and Steve Lukather narrowed it down to two versions and they ended up flipping a coin to decide which neck and bridge pickups EBMM would go with for the EVH guitar. EBMM's agreement with DiMarzio was that they could not sell these pickups separately. So they ended up...

    If we get this $5000 stimulus/tax payback/whatever and you HAD to spend it on gear...

    I don't want or need the $5000 refund. But if I get it, I will always spend it on whatever the gov't. does not want me to have, which is usually guns and ammo.

    Marshall Silver Jubilee

    I got a reissue 100w for $1000 shipped and that was before eBay started charging sales tax. I got a 2553 for $1600 a few years ago, but didn't bond with it, sold it and made some money. The SJ is a siren song for me. I keep buying them, remembering why I got rid of the last one, sell it and...

    Oh, and as an SBR, it's way, way louder than any Marshall.

    It was a P556 (pistol). But I put the upper on my SIG 556 SWAT Patrol lower and made it an SBR.

    Looking for Living Room amp

    I had my Katana 100w head for six mos before I knew it had an internal speaker. I bought it as a backup head for gigs. It's perfect for the living room. I took it to practice last night and, through a 2x12, it easily hung with my bandmate's Bogner Ecstasy.

    If we get this $5000 stimulus/tax payback/whatever and you HAD to spend it on gear...

    I just got my second tax stamp (five day turnaround time) AND my FFL. Any spare funds are going into the business now. I'll be getting my 07 and SOT around July. Then I can build and sell silencers and machine guns. I have enough Marshalls.

    Soldano SLO 100

    Here's my '69 clone build in action. I have about $1300 into it. I will definitely follow up once I have video of a gig with my SLO-30. ""
