    Bogner Uber Ultra questions -again

    Volume jump switching to crunch is normal. The popping when switching between masters happened intermittently and iirc only if the loop was on.

    What’s the optimum weight for a Les Paul? And is there such a thing as too heavy?

    My experience has consistently led me to prefer lighter LP. The wood is drier and resonates better. I have had Norlin's Custom at over 12lbs and currently have a 68 Reissue that is unicorn light at 7pounds 13 ounces. It is the best Les Paul I have owned. (about 30 over the past 4 decades) I...

    Budda SuperDrive 45

    I have played Budda amps before and I do think they are a quality amp, but as others have said they are smooth and dark sounding. I have heard some people rave about them, but still, does not have that characteristic Marshall toothy snap and snarl.

    Show Me Your Charvels!

    I am so stoked on the resurrection. I got that guitar in trade for a late 70's Gibson the V (sunburst with binding) back in 1985 or 1986 from some hot shot guy named Mark Myles. He was animal on guitar and drums!. But kind of a dick.. That has been through it all with me but have not played...

    Cheap Marshall?

    Marshall DSL 40Cr is totally decent for 749.99 brand new before any discounts. should be able to get 15% off and then you will earn some rewards points worth about 50 more bucks if you use MF. That ultimately gets it under 600.00 new. Of find a later JCM 2000 that is post bias drift years...

    If Fender moves manufacturing from CA to Arizona.....

    Not my politicians... but I know what you mean. I was born and raised in LA/San Diego. Left in 1991. Unfortunately, the bad aspects of California are spreading here. There is and always has been anti- California sentiment in Oregon.

    If Fender moves manufacturing from CA to Arizona.....

    For the record, I, was half kidding and am not genuinely bashing the midwest.. certainly not in its entirety, Everywhere has its redeeming qualities and it's flaws. I like parts of Wisconsin. I traveled to Sheboygan annually for a business event for many many years. But there is so much...

    If Fender moves manufacturing from CA to Arizona.....

    Beautiful pics, Tahoe? Shasta? yeah.. just another California shithole? Lol.. .. I used to travel to the midwest pretty regularly for work for many years and I met some nice folks and went to some pretty cool places.. There are little gems everywhere, but for me, no ocean = no thanks...

    If Fender moves manufacturing from CA to Arizona.....

    No. Mike is from Seattle and moved to L.A in the mid 80's to be in the thick of the scene of the times, then moved back home to Seattle.

    If Fender moves manufacturing from CA to Arizona.....

    Midwest is cheap , sure, but who the fuck wants to live in the Midwest? Not many, other than the people that are from there and simply don't know any better. Cost of living is the only motivation and that is not enough for most. From purely a business perspective, maybe that makes sense...

    Live videos with an OG Tone King Imperial 1x12" Combo, BB Preamp, and Tele

    That tone sounds great in that band context for sure. Nice and fat. Cuts great but not shrill or pokey. Nice playing too..

    Congrats Greg! I am so glad you got it. I was plagued by it and the only way to get it out of my brain was for it to sell. Glad it went to a friend!
