Owned and sold the V3M (smaller, 4xEL84 version). Mine came with a scratched top cover, so I spray painted it black myself. Came out nicely, I think. I was hoping too that it would be the ultimate 3-channel lunchbox amp for small gigs, but like @MadAsAHatter said, there was a certain fizziness...

@the rossness allow me to add my 2ct: Years ago, I helped a buddy pick out a 100W tube head at a store, that had the nicer heads around, including some Diezels and the SLO100, alongside some Engls and Mesa's. We played a whole bunch and in the end he settled for the Invader 100 like I have...

To me, the '68 seems to have a tad rounder highs and the '73 sounds a bit more bitey/crunchy there.

They're awesome. Well, the RR LPC and the honeyburst standard are a bit moreso. I had the black LPC refretted and even though I did the same upgrades on both LPC's (Tusq nut, Grover 18:1 tuners, Gotoh bridge), the black one doesn't stay in tune as much. It's an '87, while the Randy Rhoads is an...

I assume you mean 'Burny'? For aesthetic reasons, I preferred them to Edwards, because of the logo. My suggestion would be to at least check Burny, Greco, Tokai, Orville (by Gibson) and Edwards. Be aware that Greco was doing guitars in the early 70's already, but a lot of their LP models had a...

Agreed! My band played a few Sabbath songs for a while and I had to do copy/tribute the leads in Neon Knights and Mob Rules. Felt like directionless noodling to me, opposed to a well thought-out, nicely phrased solo.

If this was in reference to my previous post, please read it again carefully. I'm making a case for Ace. :geek:

Agreed. It reminds me of early Venom in a sense, that they were trying to play something slightly above their level, and therefore sounding rough and sloppy because of it. I mean, IMO, Ace's best lead work are on songs like Deuce, Firehouse, Black Diamond and Shock Me. There, he works within his...

Yes, I've got my Engl Pro 4x12 loaded with 2x V30 and 2x G12K85 (the predecessor of the G12K100); smooths a bit of the highs, broadens the mids and adds thump. Also had that combo in a 2x12 that I sold, to make room for something else. Otherwise, I second the (vented) serif font label T75's and...

Same shit in Europe. You could buy JB's, '59s, etc. all the time for €50-60 tops and since Covid everyone thinks their used Duncan is suddenly worth €90-100 nowadays. Even the €40-50 Dimarzios are €75 or more. Don't complain if you sit on it for months then. I recently sold a Super D for...

Looks like 'Wolverinekills' lets AI handle the art-work. I mean, I can get past the incorrect guitars (a star on a black Les Paul...wrong Kiss-member...), if you're not in the know, but why does Ozzy have 2 right hands (or does Ed just have 1 black sleeve on a grey suit?) and WTF is up with...

My first guitar purchase in 3.5 years and with a simple trick I tenfolded the value. :geek: :devilish:

Triumph - folks that gush over Kiss - Alive II or Priest - Unleashed in the East should really give Triumph Live at the US Festival a listen; huge sound, great performance. Styx - I knew a few hits for years, but once I heard Miss America on the radio a few years ago, I did a deep dive. Demon...

Most likely too dark as well, if the Alnico Pro II is anything to go by.

I thought so as well, although the AT-1 in one of my Les Pauls behaves a bit like a more powerful PAF and not as screamy as a JB sometimes can be. @Kapo_Polenton if you don't mind even more power, harmonics and such, you could try the Norton. But I'm with you on the PAF Pro; way too nasal for...

R.I.P. Ace! He came to be an influence on me as well -guitar-wise-, even after I had my teenage influences by Slash, Jimi, Angus and Eric (heck, even Kerry, Jeff and Jaymz)... and if it wasn't for a beard that I'm not willing to part ways with just for gigs, I'd be in a bonafide Kiss tribute...

Carpal tunnel entered the chat. 😉

To be clear, I wasn't planning on upgrading to an OFR on any of my Floyd equipped guitars to begin with. The cost isn't worth it to me, especially if the Gotoh 1996T at 1/3rd of the price does the same thing. And since I never play any Night Ranger, all that flutter mumbo jumbo passes me right...

Even the early vented ones?!

Sorry for the necro-bump, but I just got a guitar (no brand on the headstock, kinda looks like a cross between a Hamer Californian and an ESP Horizon), since I wanted an H-S one with amber/orange flame maple top... soooo it has a FR Special and I wonder, since the routing around the trem is...
