    New Fryette Deliverance Series II

    Everyone likes a certain flavor. I love the Sig X cleans. Also love the D-Moll cleans.

    Nerve damage in left index finger - tips? (no pun intended)

    About 7 weeks ago, my left index finger got into a sparring match with my hedge trimmer. The good: -There was no bone/ligament damage. -Blood is flowing to the finger tip and I have normal feeling right on the tip, so I'm able to play single string runs reasonably compared to pre-injury. -It...

    2020 goals?

    Not get injured to take me out of the guitar playing game, and don't take being able to play for granted. I cut my finger with my hedge trimmer doing some landscaping work over six weeks ago and still can't play yet. It could be a lot worse - it was just a really deep cut (8 stitches) on my...

    Cabinet for VHT Deliverance

    They may need some instructions when they realize you can't open the back of those cabs.

    Cabinet for VHT Deliverance

    Had mine running through multiple cabs. All sounded great, albeit a bit different. Genz Benz G-Flex loaded with K85's VHT Fatbottom with P50E's Mills Afterburner 4x12 with V30's

    Diezel VH2: Talk Me In/Out

    I've never played a VH2/4. I have a D-Moll and played an Einstein. The hi-fi, to me, means that it sounds like it's already processed. It sounds like a recorded guitar with all of the EQ and compression already done. Note definition is pretty great but it's a compressed sound (at least compared...

    New Metaltronix M-2000 Tube Amp

    I had an XLS-500 which I actually really liked a lot. As I remember, it had great cleans and high gain distortion sounds. Considering I got it for less than $500 it was a great amp for me in high school. Effectively traded a 4501 combo for it and would do it again. I never had the reliability...

    Boosted Marshall DSL?

    It's good enough for Jeff Beck now, and Matt Bellamy used one for the first 2-3 Muse albums which kicked ass. I don't have one, but I'd rock one. I'm more partial to 900's though. Used to run a 50W dual reverb that I still miss. Good enough for Dave Navarro, Ler Lalonde and Karnivool... good...

    Looking to buy first tube amp

    What 2x12 did you get?
  10. D

    Reverb TAX, Ebay TAX. May as well buy new.

    To be clear, the extension of that would be that any used goods retailers (whether it's music shops or pawnshops) would effectively be able to operate without paying taxes. Whether that's right or not is a political question that I won't get into, but that would be the ramification.

    .

    I run a CLX as my main amp. Used to have a Pittbull Classic loaded with a pair of British Classic Lead 80's. The combo was just so damned heavy that moving over to a head/cab was worth it for me. I can't really comment on the speakers you mention. The Fryette Users forum may have some info on...

    What do you use for polishing and buffing guitars/bodies?

    Blood, sweat, and spit. I kid, I kid. Naphtha to clean the guitar of any grime, oils, etc..., then carnauba wax to polish. That's for gloss finishes. Probably don't do this on a matte or flake finish.

    Maybe $900-1100 is my guess.

    How Many Have Stopped Playing?

    Good artistic DJ's are pretty talented. A lot of what I'm reading these days, though, is that it's mainly girls that are the new generation of guitarist. My daughter hasn't shown any interest, but one of her friends comes over pretty regularly and asks to play my guitars. I let her mess around...

    Hetfield back to rehab... tour canceled.

    Even so, when you're at that scale, your management is still supposed to know where the lines are, and even after that, at some point, they inform the band that "Hey, you need to go do a promo photo shoot to promote your new whiskey," and SOMEONE in the band is supposed to be like, "Hard no, we...

    How Many Have Stopped Playing?

    I play way less, that's for sure. But a kid, wife, job, night school... all of it adds up and you only have so much energy.

    Hetfield back to rehab... tour canceled.

    I'm really lucky to have never been bitten by addiction. One of my best friends and former band mates from high school picked up a heroin habit at age 15. He (like most of us) also drank during high school, but nothing out of the ordinary binge drinking your average high school party-goer...

    Rant - Rick Beato is a douchecake

    Ask Jimmy Page and he'll say he engineered all of the albums himself. Speaking of instructional videos, I'd pay for Jimmy Page to do a drum miking instructional video.

    I need a bass guitar

    Not to discount everyone else's opinions here, but I think there's a right answer here for what you're looking for (versatility): a used G&L Tribute L-2000. Used they're all over for under $500. They have the same hardware and electronics as the USA counterparts, and are about as versatile of...
