    Favorite new production tubes?

    Only Tungsram or RFT pre's and Sylvania power tubes for my Mark II Boogies. They last so much longer, and the best bet, in the long run.

    Bias on a Mesa Mark series

    Yes , my work job has picked up steam, big time, and I'm up in the fog of the steam! I do what I have to do to keep the ship upright. Being an old-head hotrodder, and seeing a 2001 Viper under a cover every morning sucks(meaning that I don't have the time to enjoy it). I am 52 yrs old with bad...

    Bias on a Mesa Mark series

    Have not needed power tubes in ages. Bought a box full of these when they were much cheaper, get it? NOT for sale. Got some good used 416's in that same box, also NOT for sale.:cool:

    Mesa mark 3 no stripe?

    Definately NOT a 105 PT. They nearly touch the bottom of the headshell (reverb tank, if so equipped).

    Talk to me about the Duncan Custom/Custom 5/Custom Custom

    Started out with the Duncan Custom w/the Ceramic, then tried the A2, A5, and A8 in my LP. Came back to the A2. It just seemed to work better in THAT guitar. YMMV, depending on the guitars' inherent brightness.

    Mesa Mark III Black Dot / No Stripe vs Green Stripe?

    I added a Pentode/Triode switch to a long head Green stripe Mark III, and it helped it sound more like my C+ in triode mode. More smooth than the Black stripe Mark III.

    Tube amps are apparently dead..... again

    Does selling a 1969 SS 396 (468)Chevelle to buy a 2001 Viper GTS qualify as "selling out"? I went from a Laney AOR 100 to the Boogie Mark series back in the late 1980's. I do believe it was a "Step Up". I would still take the Laney over anything digital, but that is just me.

    Mind fucked an AxeFX owner yesterday with the IIC+ Coli full stack.

    Preach on, brother, I think that I sold you one of my Mark III Coliseum amps. I have got three of the DRG C+ amps that are NOT for sale.

    "If you boost a Mark you're a 'tard."

    Played a 1978 Mark I 60/100 "HG" that had the "Post FX Level" mod done to it for many years. An old Boss OD-1 worked very well getting rid of the excessive low end that those amps have. Pure accident that I stumbled into this, with the Level maxed and the Drive just barely cranked, played...

    Gibson Signature Guitars

    I think that the crazy prices charged by Gibson for these artist series Les Paul guitars are insane. Everyone knows that each one sounds different and will not guarantee a good sounding Les Paul. I bought my 1973 Deluxe in the late 1980's and it is a total monster after all the mods that were...

    You should lift a 4x12 EV in a roadcase.

    Mesa Boogie 1X12 for Mark IV

    I have a metal grille 4x12 MESA cab with the top half blocked off in the rear. All 4 speakers EVM-12L and it sounds fine compared to my EVH 4x12 Stealth cab with the Celestion speakers. Is the top half of your cab open back?

    EMG-57TW vs 89/89R/89X

    Got the "Steve Lukather " EMG-X set in my Jackson SL-1 with the SPC mid boost control. The mid boost can bring back what is lost with the Floyd Rose bridge.

    Les Paul neck pickups

    Tried many magnets in my SD Custom Custom, and came back to the A2. Paired with the SD Pearly Gates in the neck position, it works well for me in my 1973 pancake body Goldtop.
