Ha ha - be my guest! I’ve added a second verse and some variation on the first two choruses for completeness (below for ease of reference)… Say your prayers, little one, And don't forget, my son, How much you paid Gibson, I plug in, dial it in, And I do not grin, As my amp starts to hum. It’s...

Say your prayers, little one, And don't forget, my son, How much you paid Gibson, I plug in, dial it in, And I do not grin, As my amp starts to hum. It’s not cheap, perhaps it’s broken? Of the receipt don’t lose sight…. Exit tight! Enter shite! For around 4 grand, We’re off to boomer Dad rock...

But they’ll get something else wrong and the internet will decide the first (and rarest) version of the reissue was the best and used prices will skyrocket….

I have a Custom 22. Beautifully made guitar, looks great, plays great. Pickups in mine are a low wind PAF style unit called the 53/10. Not sure they were all that common. Mine has the Wide/Thin neck carve. I can give you some comparisons to other necks if that’s the same on the one you’re...

Hard to explain in words, as it’s a feel as much as a sound. An amp expert could probably explain what’s happening in a technical sense, but the best non-technical description I’ve seen was that notes compress (sag) for a split second when you hit them before releasing. It creates a sense of...

Thanks for taking the time to shoot this. Really enjoy your vids and this one is no exception ?? Having listened to the vid ‘blind’ and through headphones I preferred the original slightly - it seemed slightly more vocal. That being said, they sound very similar and it’ll be interesting to hear...

VH4 owner here. I think the lack of bounce/sag and the high fidelity quality of the sound is what gives it that processed vibe. That being said, if I stop looking for the bounce and just enjoy the sounds it makes, it’s phenomenal.

Never played an A but I’d say my v early B (A/B?) isn’t massively compressed. It definitely has a liquid feel to it, but in a way that makes it fun to play rather than in a way that squashes the tone or loses dynamics. There’s plenty of harmonic content and you can dial it in to make it plenty...

Ah, not sure about LOG’s stuff - when I agreed with peterc52 that was about the A being the more open of the two Mark IVs.

Beat me to the punch

The answer to this will depend on who you ask. I predict the discussion that’s going to follow will include the following: 1) There’s no material difference. 2) The A is way better. 3) The B is way better. 4) The rare transitional A/B is the best of the best. 5) There’s no such thing as...

Just checked - mine’s a 2022. So I guess the new revision has been in play since at least then.

That’s a good description of it ?

I’ve got a 2021 (I think) - it definitely seems brighter and less compressed than many of the VH4s I’ve heard online

I don’t know about that. I’ve always been concerned my neighbours can’t fully appreciate all the nuances of my drop D chugging. This amp might be the answer….

Since getting a heavily played ‘73 LP with real lacquer cracking, a lot of these relic jobs just seem OTT to me when it comes to the lacquer cracks. That said, I did have a CS Fender Strat once with a “journey man” relic job that was actually really good…

Another shout out to Jason at Headfirst. Great guy to deal with and really knowledgable.

Probably not the issue at all, but I had some weird swirling stuff happening on one of my amps a while back and it was because the power cable wasn’t pressed all the way into the back of the amp. It was only slightly out, so the amp powered up as normal etc, so I didn’t realise what was causing...
