    Mesa Grid Slammer, anyone?

    Love mine - it's been my primary TS style overdrive for years now, mainstay on the board. It doesn't a much better job holding the low end of the amp 'in tact', while adding the saturation and punch typically desired when using this type of OD on a high gain amp. May not be your favorite if...

    Best way to block a PRS Trem?

    Most stable block I've done on a PRS is wedging custom fitted wooden blocks on either side of the trem. When set up properly, you have 'parallel faces' between the block and body routes on both sides, so it blocks quite easily assuming you have the tools for the minor woodworking.

    Amp and Cab switcher + Boss ES-8 + 4 Cable method

    Can you clarify what exactly you were hoping to achieve/control by combining the two? May a more specific 'from/to' explanation? You need to be careful to only route the ES-8 within the front and and effects loop signal paths. Assuming you didn't cross any wiring to accidentally get any of the...

    SOLD Mesa Rectifier Headshell

    No problem at all - not usually fun when you buy something that doesn't fit. :p

    SOLD Mesa Rectifier Headshell

    Tremoverb is a different dimension that the standard Rectifier, it requires a deeper headshell (like the Roadster).

    7-String recommendations - Bang For Buck?

    I second the Holcomb 7 - great spec, feel, and playability, separate form the fact that it's an import/more budget oriented guitar.

    Anyone know where I can find one of these Mesa knobs?

    In the past, I've been able to call Mesa directly to order replacement parts not found on their site. May be worth a shot if you haven't tried it yet?

    Thoughts on the KHE ACS 4×4 - Amplifier Cabinet Switcher?

    These types of switchers coming to market over the last few years have been amazing - as others have said, wiring up once and having 'quick access' without rewiring has really helped me more use my gear more regularly. Specific to the KHE, while I don't own one (specific reason for this, see...

    Pickup recommendations for my PRS SC250

    This looks like one of the Satin versions of the original 'Singlecut' model (not an SC-250). It would have had #7 pickups stock. My thoughts based on all info so far: - The 32 and 42 strings on a 10-52 set are WAY too heavy for Drop C# compared to the others (tension/feel wise). That will...

    Pickup recommendations for my PRS SC250

    Have some thoughts, but would have to have a little more information: - What tuning and strings do you use on the guitar? Anything overly unique about your setup preferences? - Do you perceive it as acoustically dull, and that translates to the amplified sound as well? Or are the acoustic...

    Marshall Vintage Modern 2266

    I have a 2466 - I've always absolutely loved it. I use the 'low' setting on the dynamic range pushed pretty hard for a light crunch sound, and use an overdrive (Fulltone OCD works great as an example) to push it into higher gain Marshall roar. It's a beautifully organic sound, and just a joy to...

    Gigging guitarists do you use you "A" list guitars at gigs or beaters?

    Unless one is a straight collector, meaning they don't necessarily have an appreciation for the playing/musical instrument side of the guitar, I don't personally see the value in 'saving' guitars. They're mean to be played, and there's a 'magic' to the playing experience of a guitar that you...

    FS: Gibson 2004 Custom Shop Les Paul Custom, Sam Ash Limited Silverburst!

    Need to start this listing off a little differently than usual. If you're looking for a clean/collector's grade instrument, this is not for you. If you're looking for an LPC that is an absolute amazing instrument, and has the natural wear (but not damage/abuse) to show how much it's been...

    Mesa metal grill/half back vs traditional

    Was about to say the same thing. My traditional straight is my favorite 412 by a good margin. Great overall cabinet, and pairs with other amplifiers much better than the OS in my opinion (I find it can get a bit 'unbalanced' with certain amplifiers - harder to dial out that scoop/low end rumble).

    Smooth Purchase with War_in_D!

    Stephan was a pleasure to deal with - purchased a Bogner XTC from him. Great communication, great packaging, and just a smooth/easy deal. Thank you again!

    I've got 2 LTD's, one sounds awesome...

    Not sure what type of music you're playing, but with what an LTD Viper typically does, D'addario Chromes (flat wound strings) are not what I'd expect on the guitar. Have you tried standard D'addarios on it (XL or NYXL is you prefer those)? Also, the 81 is a much brighter/thinner bridge pickup...

    FS: Monomyth Skeleton Key V1, #10

    Hey guys, This amp needs no introduction here - amazing build from Shea, #10 or 10 from his original run. As amazing as the amp is, I'm still leaning toward my 'Mesa roots', so offering this up to a good home where it will get more use. I just posted the amp on Reverb - will do $3400 +...

    heads up... $1500 jp 2c rack on reverb

    Pictures and description are a re-use from a seller in the Boogie Facebook Group. I suspect this is fraud - a lot of these 'low feedback, cheap international' listings are popping up on Reverb lately. Not really sure what their angle is. :(
