    Best Gibson Explorer or Explorer style guitar you've ever played?

    He sold it and then bought it back. :ROFLMAO: He won't get rid of it again I'm tempted to offer something for it, but I'm on the look out for an explorer with a broken headstock so I can fix it then rat rod the hell out of it.

    Best Gibson Explorer or Explorer style guitar you've ever played?

    Just worked on a buddies Gothic Explorer, the bridge measured right around where a 498 should. He was curious because he's hated 498's in every Gibson he's owned, but loved whatever was in the Gothic Explorer. Weird. Gothics rip ridiculously hard.

    Best Gibson Explorer or Explorer style guitar you've ever played?

    If you want the fattest/beefiest Explorer, look for Mahogany bodied ones with Rosewood boards. They're thick sounding and stock pickups work for rock and heavy metal. If you want to play tight thrash or death metal, you'll need some aggressive pickups for it. The Korina ones, while people say...

    Ozzy died…

    One of my fav Ozzy songs is off that record. Tattooed Dancer. It's got the perfect blend of Ozzy being Ozzy, Randy type riffs and that gnarly snarl and pinch harmonics Zakk has. I could listen to this song 10 times in a row and be pumped up the whole time.

    If Fender moves manufacturing from CA to Arizona.....

    The music industry doesn't pay well for the average worker. The allure of having a cool industry job is how they get you and ultimately how they have a 3.4/5 star rating on Indeed.

    PRS Guitars and their F’ing 10” radius fretboards

    I've changed a radius on an older PRS to 16" and refretted it with stainless steel for someone. It was a game changer for that guitar. I'm waiting until I'm bored enough to do the same to my CU24. There are way too many things they won't do because "paul doesn't like it", and it frustrates me.

    Michael Nielson finds out about my secret weapon amp

    ENGL's are insane amps. The problem is once you have one, you don't *need* anything else. o_O I tracked down an ENGL Special Edition E670 after searching for years. It's the perfect amp. Does everything I need and more. I had plans to pick up a Fireball 100 and I wanted to check out a Marty...

    What's Up With Expensive Cabs?

    I didn't know about the 412/15. Interesting combo. What does the speaker layout look like? I have a coworker who's asked me to build a 2x10 with a 15. Maybe I'll convince him to do a 412/15 style instead. This one looks too much like Mickey Mouse, even if it'll be covered with grille cloth.

    What's Up With Expensive Cabs?

    You're absolutely right. I had 3-4 Mesa halfback 412s, 3+ Mesa Straight/Slant OS 412s, 2 Mesa Recto Slant 4x12s (one was a buddies). Between the speakers and construction they all sounded a bit different. Some bright, some muffled. I don't think I paid more than $600 for any of them though. I...

    Anyone knows a remote job I could apply for?

    I was applying for jobs the last half of 2023 into 2024 and a few months this year. I haven't heard back from 99% of them. Positions I'm well qualified (and over-qualified for). I've been applying to in-person AND remote. With everything I've been seeing, it looks like the job market is just...

    Official Mesa IIC++ Reissue?

    The reverb circuit on the II's were always noisy and apparently a well known problem. Mesa used to mod them, changing up some resistors and ground placements. Out of the tracing's I've seen online, there's a bunch of differences on the Reverb Return & Drive Stage (V3A & V4B) cathode bypass area...

    Chleo Limited Edition - Herman Li Signature Model - PRS Guitars

    I like everything about it. The shape. The output jack thing. 20" Radius. Trem Stabilizer, the middle pickup being voiced so that he can slam it down and it doesn't drop out the volume. Before the video was over I was dead set on getting one.. until I found out it's gonna be $7300+ after tax. No...

    Official Mesa IIC++ Reissue?

    On all my reverb equipped IIC+'s the Reverb was seemingly "always on". Clicked on it was loud and proud. Clicked off you could still hear the springiness, especially if you were heavily gated and playing riffs with pauses. Cheesed me off enough to keep my reverb on 0 for all of them.

    Passive pickups for Les Paul in B standard?

    Mojotone Tomahawk / Dustie Waring set. 16k Alnico V bridge, 7.6k Alnico V Neck. The bridge pickup is super mean and sounded sick in my Les Paul. Just so happens I have a set for sale :D I will also suggest the Bare Knuckle Ragnaroks. I'm not into Djent, I can't Djent.. but the pickup set is...

    What the heck is this cab?

    Man how cool would it be to rip a sick solo then turn around and bang a chick on top of your cab. I wonder if I could rise to the occasion in front of an audience both for the solo and for the banging. That's what this add is implying, right?

    Red seven NGR-1

    Midi capable and having different settings makes me want to try one. There was one on Reverb for $200+/-. I added it to my cart and went to check out and it sold before I could check out. :mad:
