Do I want the top of the Floyd to be parallel with the body like this: Or do I want the bottom of the Floyd to be parallel with the body, like this: It is currently like the first picture.

I’m looking to replace the pickups in my Ibanez RG655. Someone suggested Bare Knuckle pickups. Looking around their site the Holy Diver set sounded the best to me. Lots of mids and tight lows. Does anyone have experience with Bare Knuckles?

I have a good pal that uses pedals with his rig. His jam room is his garage. His bands all practice there. The issue is that when they’re not there it either gets to be 99°F and near 100% humidity in the summer and 25°F in the winter. The worst part is the winter he’ll build a fire in the wood...

I’ve been trying to trade my Mesa Mark Five:35 for a while now. I liked it, it’s a fantastic amp, I’m just a Marshall guy. Some guy on Craigslist sent a list of things he’d be willing to trade. So I picked these two and he agreed. I hate driving but I drove an hour each way to do the deal...

To my fellow Americans, happy thanksgiving day. To everyone else, have fun at work, I guess. ?

Why do Marshalls and the like use can caps? I actually like the way Fender uses Axial caps under the dog house. Not only is it easier to work with, the grounding scheme is better and quieter. Is there any actual advantage to a can cap?

Holy friggen moly! Why did I wait so long to get one? I think this is THE amp for me. OG block letter! Totally rocks! Awesome clean channel and the leads channel with the gain on 2 is perfect!! I’m stoked, my dudes!

I ran a stereo guitar rig for many years. I always enjoyed the width of the modulation sounds and the ping-pong delays. Recently, I've tried moving to a W/D/W rig. From my amp's effects send I go to a splitter. Half back to the amp's effects return and the other to a stereo processor to a...

I am hooking up a 4x4 de Lisle speaker switch and was wondering what size cable should I be using? I have this one way-too-long cable that's 12ga and that seems to be overkill. Is there a general rule that you follow for speaker cable?

PRS HDRX 20 I picked this up for 5 Bens. I think this is the amp I’ve been wanting for a long time. I dimed it and this 20 watts shook the house. I’m very pleased with this amp.

I’m at the Westside Bowl in Youngstown, OH waiting for Greg Koch (Koch Marshall Trio). This is the second time I’ve seen him live. Great band and one of my favorite guitar players.

Lovepedal Purple Plexi - $185 Lovepedal Echophonic - $75 Lovepedal Hi Volt - $145 CM Plexitone lo-gain - $105 Strymon Lex v1 - $200 As always, negotiations and trades happily accepted.

A friend of mine fell for the hype and put Creamtone harnesses in two guitars. The first one he brought me to fix had a solder bridge between the toggle switch output lug and ground. No sound out. Took me a good hour to find the nearly microscopic solder blob. The second harness, the bridge...

This is from way back in the day. I cracked up then and it still cracks me up today. ?

I got this in trade and I'm more of a Marshall guy. This is the first Mesa that I've had that I actually liked the clean channel though. The reverb is really excellent. It's a custom Faun Slub Bronco color and looks brand new: It even still has the tags on it: It comes with the...

I ordered a used Carvin X100B from GC in Monetary Park, California. Then 3 days later i received this email: After 6 attempts to call them someone finally picked up the phone. Apparently, the amp was sold and returned having been damaged in shipping to that buyer. They also said another issue...

I’ve had Mesa Boogie amps in the past. First was a Mark III that I never could get along with. That must have been 1992 or 1993. Then a couple years ago, I got a Dual Rectifier (non-multiwatt 3-channel). I did the series effects loop mod which made it better but I only liked the middle channel...

When you mix speakers in a 4x12: Is it always 2 and 2? In the stereo capable cabs do you keep one set left and one set right or one of each on each side? Like this: O X or O O O X X X If you place one of each on both sides, do you reverse them on the other side? Like...

I was at the gym this morning and it finally happened to me. I knew they’d get me one day but I was hoping to die first. There is some terrible music pumped through the Planet Fitness sound system and today was my terrible day. I was in the middle of my workout so I couldn’t leave. You see...

I’ve got a 5150 Chorus on the bench that is very noisy. This is the first one I’ve tried and was wondering if this is normal for this circuit. The chorus is fantastic but this noise is unacceptable.
