    Saw Geoff Tate on Tuesday night in Foxboro (love me some live Queesnryche)

    I must say I was very impressed , the guy is 65 years old and his voice his still right there all night. His band was very good, I noticed ampless on stage, I don't know they were off stage and mic'd or they were all modeling but it sounded damn good. not my video but this was the show I was at...

    this old Mark IIB sounds as bad ass as any III or IV I've ever heard what am I missing?

    I don't really know much about any of the Mark series amps before the IIC+ this thing even sounds good without the EQ engaged, so why aren't these are popular as the IIC's or the III's

    Some how I ended up with yet another one of these charvels

    I had one of these and sold it here on the forum about a year ago. I was heavily into H/S/S guitars so it wasn't getting the love that it deserved. fast forward to 2 weeks ago and someone local is selling one that's been plek'd straight from Sweet water for a great price. So I met up with him...

    Vertical Mesa 2X12 vs Horizontal 2X12 thoughts?

    I want to grab a Mesa 2X12 for my Mark Iv head. I 've owned a horizontal 2X12 in the past and it sounded great with my old Mark Iv head , but I found it to be extremely directional. Great in the house, not so great with a band, so I'm thinking of trying one of the vertical 2X12's because I want...

Even came with a road case. arrived today , I need a cab with V30's because this is not a great match for greenback type of speakers. Also anyone that has one of...

    Anyone here have a mesa 50 caliber Plus?

    I'm jonesing for another Mark IV but the prices on them are ridiculous. I just watched a video of Kyle Bull putting a 50 caliber through his usual "chug routine" and it actually sounded (to my ears) very Much like a Mark IV, any experience with these things here? Nick

    Is the Axe FX III that much better than an XL+ II?

    I've been thinking about the future a little bit when I 'm done gigging and know I will go back to a Fractal modeler at some point. I had a II for about 9 years and for just playing in the house it was awesome. didn't work for me gig wise so I went with my Splawn but when I am done gigging I...

    A surfing with the Alien cover

    back when I had a n Axe FX II and could record on a whim :) I did some experimenting on this one and double tracked a lot of the lead to see if I could nail both takes, you can really hear it towards the fade out at the end when I go off in different directions. Used my trusty USA Jackson SL2H...

    Finally tracked down a Jackson Fusion

    it's a Pro and in pretty great shape. I love the neck on this, I didn't know if I'd take to a 24.75 24 fret guitar but so far I am loving it. the EMGS are going though , I think I'm going to try a Duncan Alternative 8 and a pair of 1/4 pounders. anyone here use the Alternative 8?
