    Marshall Price Drop. Not sure if an April Fool's joke

    Do you live in the US? I'd be surprised if Thomann sells them with 110v PTs, and they don't have selector switches like the 800s and Plexis. In fact, I don't think the PTs have any taps for other voltages. You get the one for the country in which it was originally sold for distribution. I...

    Marshall Price Drop. Not sure if an April Fool's joke

    That 2203x was something like $3500 last I checked. It's been hugely discounted. I have one for sale, may have to tell Mrs. Lee I can't get what I need for it, so I have to keep it.

    Andy Timmons

    Saw him in a tiny club in Evansville, IN a few mos. ago. He came up and introduced himself to me because I was the only person there who didn't go to high school with him.

    So I went to the Mammoth WVH show last night.....Nita Strauss opened up for Wolfie...

    Remember when Manuel Noriega was holed up in the Vatican's embassy in Panama City and the US Army blasted the bldg with loud music for a few days to smoke him out? Nita could sell the rights to this to the US Army and we could snatch anyone we wanted by blasting this at them. No one could...

    That was an enhanced interrogation and I'd confess to anything after a few minutes of that.

    Cornford MK50

    If any of you guys saw Greg Howe on tour last summer, he was running a Cornford behind his cab. Couldn't see it much, but I heard it and asked him about it.

    R.I.P Al Howe 😢

    I met Al around 1985. Greg was working in my folks' house as a contractor's helper and invited me to his band (Duke) practice, as I was too young to go to their big showcase gig for a bunch of record companies. Greg has had a rough year or two, but I got to see him twice in 2023, in Phoenix...

    thoughts on LP traditional series

    There's a super nice one locally and it's about 1000x better in person than the photos on the GC website. It's $1799. I got tired of waiting for someone to get it down from the third level rack for me to check out, and I left. But I may go back tomorrow. I don't know if I can handle a 50s...

    Humming noise when guitar volume pot is all the way down.

    I have a nice Fluke DMM, but don't know how to diagnose a bad pickup, when it sounds perfect at every volume other than with the volume knob all the way down. And if it's putting out with the volume all the way down, is that a bad pot or a bad pickup?

    Humming noise when guitar volume pot is all the way down.

    One guitar has single coils in the middle and neck position. The middle one is not wired up and I rarely use the neck one. I think this problem has always existed, but I don't play these guitars much, so it's been a while since I noticed. I'm going to put a new SD up in the single humbucker...

    Humming noise when guitar volume pot is all the way down.

    What causes this? Somehow this only happens in the two Strat-style guitars I have with pickguards. Both have 500k volume pots, no tone pots, both have humbuckers. Both sound fine at full and low volume (guitar volume knobs), but both make a loud humming or chirping noise when the volume pots...

    Where can you purchase a Large Shipping Box for an amp?

    Does using that box mean you have to ship with FedEx? Their boxes are usually branded.

    Pedal and pickup purge, also Floyd Rose parts.

    One at a time. To allow two at the same time would be an ABY, which is what I replaced this with.

    Where can you purchase a Large Shipping Box for an amp?

    It looks hokey when done, but it's always worked for me. I go buy a few of those dish packing boxes at Home Depot and slide one into the other. That let's you adjust length and then there still tons of room for padding/packing material.

    Good eye. I just checked my email archives and it's Black model from May, 2018.

    Pedal and pickup purge, also Floyd Rose parts.

    Time to move some gear clutter. No complaints about any of these items. It’s just that my needs or tastes have changed. All prices are PP’ed and shipped to lower 48. I prefer Zelle and PP F&F, if we’ve done business before. I will update listing as things sell. $80 - Seymour Duncan Full...

    SD Custom is a great pickup

    I'm a SD fan, but my main guitars are EBMM EVHs and Axis. A few of my Axis don't have the original DiMarzios, so I don't mind experimenting with other pups in those. Does SD make anything that's a direct drop-in in an Axis like DiMarzios? I don't know that I want to bother filing down the...

    Living color and Extreme - Live

    I thought LC's second album was pretty cool, really like the three hits from it and loved their appearance with Little Richard on Arsenio Hall, where they played Elvis is Dead. I worked security for a show on the Stones' Steel Wheels tour and got to meet everyone, and LC again when they came...
