    Celestion Greenback paired with G12H-30?

    Anybody around here done this? I have a Boogie Halfback 4x12 that had a pair of G12H-80’s (90’s actually) and a pair of Mesa Black Shadow Vintage 50’s (by Eminence). One of the 80’s was dead, and the VS speakers basically aren’t even there, so was thinking about maybe throwing some Avatar...

    ibzprestige - Lifesaver in a pandemic!

    Had an awesome deal with Patrick (ibzprestige) on his Jackson RR1. He shipped it within minutes of my payment hitting the books, and this guitar is about as MINT as a used guitar gets. Thanks a lot! It's a great distraction in the world we're living in now!

    New hiccup in Reverb purchases - Sales Tax! (in MN)

    I bought a Firebird Studio today. Negotiated a fair price with the PRIVATE seller, and did the transaction. Imagine my surprise when I was hit with sales tax on a person-to-person transaction on used gear! This is a new twist! Looks like now there isn't even an advantage to buying gear used in...

    Great transaction with HaloMojo!

    Bought a guitar from him that was in at least as good if not better condition than the description. Shipped super fast and with great care. Super smooth deal. Thanks, Zach! :thumbsup:

    Anyone ever shipped from the US to Sweden?

    I have a guitar on Reverb, and the potential buyer is in Sweden. Has anyone here in RT-Land ever shipped there? What is the best method to go with for shipments to northern Europe? https://reverb.com/item/6817512-gibson- ... -rare-mint Thanks!

    NGD - Vintage Gibson RD content!

    Started with this... Anyway, she showed up the other day, and I got around to restringing and setting up today. FKNA! Love it! Thought it was messed up at first, but it was just the the Moog preamp was CRANKED, and it was a mushy mess. The battery was in its death throes as well which didn't...

    Thinking about jumping the Fractal ship to go Helix...

    I've got an AX8, and it's great. I hate editing anything on it, but I'm usually always hooked up to the editor anyway. The other night, I picked up a Line 6 Firehawk FX, and I REALLY like it! Sounds great through my KRK 6's, which is what I'm jamming thru 90% of the time. So...it got me...

    Going on 9 days...

    Fuck. I hate it when people get paid and don't deliver. Nothing that happened here, but when you send someone almost THREE mortgage payments for an instrument, it would be nice if they could SHIP THE FUCKING THING!!! PayPal is about to get a refund request. FKNA...sellers - if it's for sale...

    SSSSSSssssss......

    This slithered in yesterday. :rock: The Demartinez!! I'm SUPER impressed by the build quality. Tight tolerances, no gaps, tuning was stable right out of the box, paint seems on par with the US version. Everyone gripes about the fretwork on the MIM models, but I guess I got lucky - there...

    Charvel Avenger?

    Well, decent quality, sorta collectible (but not like $$$ collectible), MIJ, horseshit pickups. Beyond that, kinda cool.

    What's old is new again. Again...

    Gonna try this Axe thing ONE MORE time... I came to terms with the fact that it sounds better to me than anything else I have/have had. It's also one of the best cures for GAS I've had, and I think I finally realize it. Going from this: To this... I really hope this is the last time I buy...

    EVH 5150-III 50W as a pedal platform?

    I'm wondering if anyone is using lots of pedals with this amp? How is it in terms of a good pedal platform for things like th XTC Red, Pinnacle, SLOstortion, etc thru the "clean" channel? Modulation in the loop obviously... I'm using a Line6 DT50 head with pretty good results now, but just...

    EVH Wolfgang pickups

    Are they "all the same" - i.e. - are the ones in the imports the same that you get in the USA's? I'm a bit underwhelmed with the bridge. A bit too clean, and they just seem a bit weak. If the pickups are all the same across the lines, I'm curious what I'm missing and why they get such great...

    I think I fried my Uber pedal...

    I think I fried my Uber pedal...shit. I grabbed the wrong 9V adapter, and plugged it into one with 2000mV output rather than 200mV. No noise, but a little smoke, smell, and then...death. I opened it up, and the resistor by the 9V adapter is fried. Can't tell if it got beyond that, but that...

    Compact power amps like the ISP Stealth - others?

    Super intersted in the ISP Stealth. What else is there out there that is similar?

    Tuning...MAKE IT stable!

    Even though my ESP/LTD EC-1000's are head & shoulders better than a real Gibby in terms of tuning stability, they still left a little bit to be desired. I picked up a couple EVH Wolfgang Special HT's recently, and while I scratched my head at first on why a hard tail guitar would need a...

    'Bout time for a rig update for my fellow gear-whores @ RT..

    Went from this: To this: Guitar Center is blowing out the Line 6 DT50's right now, and I still regret the day I sold my DT25 head, so I took the opportunity, traded my Carvin, and snagged the DT50 head. Awesome amps - if you haven't tried one out, you should. It's NO Spider, that's for...
