    What trem stop do you use?

    I used the ESP Trem Stabilizer, now the double version.. Which is the same as the Axlabs one. Along with something like the Schaller Sureclaw, you've got an absolute machine that won't disappoint. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JCB8857

    Marketplace cab score

    One of my Mode Four 412's came with all 4 Celestion V30MF's, they're killer. All the V30 bark, no ice picky bite. The other Mode Four 412 came loaded with Chinese V30s, someone yanked the originals :( - The Chinese ones are noticeably brighter, way harder on the ears even for V30s.

    Marketplace cab score

    People get worked up over the name, but as long as it's good plywood and good speakers, it'll sound great. I picked up some Marshall Mode Four cabs cheap because people think they're junk since they came with the solid state Marshall. Curious if you've got UK or Chinese V30s in there? I've been...

    Abridged Cameron Saga?

    I'm obliged to post this in every Cameron thread I see so anyone reading in the future will see: Do not give your money to Mark Cameron. Do not send your amps to Mark Cameron. We've been here multiple times. You may get lucky and get an amp. You most likely will get ripped off and won't receive...

    Stereo rigs? What to take into consideration?

    I've run both WDW and WW rigs a lot. I don't have a lot of this stuff now, but now I ran it in the past is.. WDW: AMP --> 8 Ohm Out --> Cab 1 \--> Send -->Lexicon MPX1 In/Out Left -->Mesa 20/20 Input A -->8 Ohm Out -->Cab 2 Left ..Lexicon MPX1 In/Out Right--> Mesa 20/20 Input B -->8...

    Does Bad Hardware = Bad Guitar Tone? | Rules of Tone | PRS Guitars

    Bad hyperbole. He could have said "Using plastic nuts and cheap pot metal for bridges and tuners." Saying rubber for guitar parts is like saying, "If you put kool-aid in your car's gas tank, your engine will run bad." It's not even something that's in the equation.

    Does Bad Hardware = Bad Guitar Tone? | Rules of Tone | PRS Guitars

    What guitar manufacturer, in the year of our lord 2025, uses RUBBER for bridges, nuts and tuners? Paul is so fucking out of touch, I can't listen to 20 minutes of his drivel after that opening. Hit me with a bone vs brass vs titanium for nut material. Hit me with ZAMAK vs Zinc vs Aluminum vs...

    Charvel by Jackson (Model 2)

    Hard agree. In my experience older Kahler trems are completely clapped out. You'll run into stripped screws, cross threaded set screws or missing parts. I run into the same issues with the older Jackson/Charvels with the proprietary Jackson Floyds as well, but at least you can swap them out for...

    Need to Ship an Amp...(Question)

    Man. That's a shame. Amp repair (and electronics repair in general) is a dying art. My experience in my area is there's only old timers really know what they're doing and some of them are just stuck in their ways. I've been learning stuff on my own and picking up things from said old timers in...

    Where is Tone Monster?

    The real festering sore on this forum are people that registered to primarily post in the political section and let all that toxic bullcrap spill into the main gear forum.

    Drill Press Recommendations for guitar mods?

    I bought a harbor freight benchtop drill press a while back since I had a coupon. Works for overall general stuff and I use it for 90% of the guitar stuff I need from drilling to pressing to fucking things up. The only thing I can't drill thru holes for string thru-bodies. The throat is only...

    Looking for advice on FU Tome bridge build

    I'm a former Floyd elitist. Only the finest OFR or Schaller's for me. I used to privately scoff at people putting in those cheap garbage Gotoh GE-1996T's.. Recently I rebuilt a 87 ESP Mirage and it had a beat up OFR, Sinclair posts/inserts and a lot of weird crossover stuff. I grabbed a Gotoh...

    Anyone else find modelers/sims uninspiring?

    You can't compare playing thru a head/cab/combo to playing thru headphones on a modeler. I run my Quad Cortex through a Powerstage 170 to a Marshall 4x12 and it sounds massive. I could alternatively run my QC to two Positive Grid powered FRFRs for a stereo set up. Or I can run my QC into my...

    Desperate cry. I’m done.

    My experience in the military was everyone fighting for slots by throwing others under the bus, SNCOs looking for any/all reasons for article 15s, lackluster training and almost constant SHARP awareness training because jarheads literally can't stop themselves from raping. I'll never suggest...

    Bare Knuckles’ Tim Mills on how he built the biggest indie pickup brand in the world

    I've tried way too many Bare Knuckle Pickups. They all have a distinct mid-range push, which is something I simply cannot do without. I haven't played a single set from them that I don't like from classic style Tele sets to modern high gain balls-to-the-wall. I cannot find a set that sounds bad...

    Darkening a fretboard…

    I've used Higgins on multiple boards. It works great. I've never used it on a fretted board though. I've used it on boards I've refretted and reprofiled the radius so YMMV. My process: Clean board with Acetone and/or Mineral Spirits. Heavy coat with a shop paper towel for full coverage and...

    Musikraft 5A Birdseye Frankenstrat

    It sounds and looks great! I'd say grab another neck so you can have two killer guitars. Do you have those captures on your Cortex Cloud? I'd love to check them out on my QC.
