I also probably think of the 2203/2204 sound first, especially that classic Anthrax 80’s tone, but it’s hard to deny the pure AC/DC JTM tones. I also always think of the super lead tones on Mercyful Fate’s Melissa, but really super leads are used on so many albums and by so many players, they...

That dull and weak sound is just the traditional tele neck pickup sound but there are plenty of other options out there these days. I have the twisted tele set in one of my teles and I like it a lot. The bridge pickup is hot but still sounds like a tele, and the neck pickup is more open and...

It has it if you want it, but if you want breakup and crunch you just have to crank the mid knob. Best clean channel on a high gain amp IME are the JP2C, EVH 5150 III 50w Stealth 6L6, and PRS MT15. I haven’t tried the MT100 but if it’s a bigger and better version of the 15, I’m sure the clean...

The thumbnail that just says IT’S OVER… with a sad facial expression.

The multiplier band has to be orange or it wouldn’t make sense, but I’m not sure if the other one is grey or blue. Either way the value wouldn’t be too far off and the original resistor has to still be in the circuit and working or the bias would be even colder than stock. Basically I want to...

So check this out. I got this 5150 in a trade a little bit ago and the headshell was not in good shape so I was swapping it into the one I have from an old dead 6505, so I took a moment to look at the insides. I had noticed it ran tubes a lot hotter than a 5150 normally would, so I was expecting...

Despite having social anxiety otherwise I never really had stage fright because the band I was in where I was vocalist and one of the guitarists was doing melodic death/black metal at a time when it was even more obscure. Unless it was a bigger extreme metal only show you knew you were playing...

Yep I bought several of these earlier this year and they sound completely different from the standard JJ 12ax7. With all the standard JJs in the preamp of my 5150, I swapped in one of the new E83CC’s in V1 and it was a drastic difference like taking a blanket of the speakers. I put all E83CC’s...

I’d really only be worried about pests and moisture like everyone is saying. Moisture is more a problem in the spring and summer but some pests can be worse in the fall and winter when they’re looking for shelter. A mouse might find an open back combo to be a nice cozy place for a nest.

What part of the country? Looks so clear and flat out that door, so I know it’s not down here in southern appalachia!

They just don’t sound the same. Yeah a twin is a “lot more amp” for less in the current market, but louder and cleaner isn’t necessarily what everyone wants. It’s funny everyone hates the old oxfords, and I don’t like them either from the couple times I’ve actually encountered them, but I...

Great price!

IR’s have their uses but I’d never use them for a final track. Even the best of them have this hard to define yet impossible to miss “almost there but not quite” aspect to how they sit in a mix. Dialing in an amp through an IR also just doesn’t work the same as the real deal. It’s like 2D vs 3D...

Exactly this, and if you list something for a good price it's still hard to move it where I am. I've even accepted offers that are kind of lowballs to get something gone and the person flakes or admits they don't have the money the day we're supposed to meet up - pisses me off. The other thing...

I think it’s just wishful thinkers, but I also think a lot of these guys can’t even afford to pay if someone takes the lowball offer. I very frequently will be following an item on Reverb and it will notify me that an offer has been made, and then the item will sell only to become available...

The only way that could be more 2024 is if she was really a he.

Is your Bad Monkey strictly a clone or is there anything improved or different about it? I’ve had the actual one forever and I like it when its on, but it stays off my board because of the tone suck when bypassed.

“I know what I got and what it’s worth”

These are cool looking as shit IMO; I also like the Kelly version. It came with those really light 9-54 strings but I guess the longer scale length (only 26.5' though) and the Floyd add enough tension as it feels pretty good. On the other hand I have a 27.7" baritone 6 string that I have to put...

Some finishing defects that alone should have at least got it sent to B stock but it also had poorly done frets (at least 5 out of level frets, so needed a total relevel and crown) and maybe something else was wrong with the neck. It buzzed and rattled everywhere, not just around the high frets...
