I don't have any K100s these days. Been a while for those. Appreciate the kind words! The Bauers are siiiiiick guitars. I have 3 lol. The Strat is my main one, but I also have my original custom flying V from him and a custom koa topped V with a Dime headstock and Floyd. Old pic, but the only...

I bought 12 of them and haven't had any issues. Wonder what the percentage of issues is. One guy vs how many they've shipped wouldn't justify not getting one. Hard to say QC is suffering with a single anecdotal report.

I now have 3 412s loaded with them. They're awesome speakers. This was my first video with them, comparing to V30s. I have put up a handful of videos at this point.

Nice! I use the blue channel on my 50S to jam in between songs at band practice so it's not ear drum busting volume haha. But I don't really use it much beyond that.

I've had a few Duvells, and they are really great guitars! I didn't keep them because I am more of a V guy on stage, and at home I play my custom strat 90% of the time, and having a few $4k+ guitars that weren't getting used much didn't make sense. But yeah, awesome guitars! The Archon is great...

Different kind of tone than your usual, but no less as great a tone as usual!

There's a BIIIIG dude locally that plays headless guitars. Usually has a stand with 6 of them or something on stage. They look like screwdrivers when he is playing lol. Tiny little things. I see the benefit for travel, but agree. They look ridiculous.

Devin, was that me? lol I can't get away from Dunlop Ultex 1.14. They sound better than anything else to me.

I've had 3 Explorers, and I didn't keep any of them long. I agree about the fin. It was in the way. And I didn't think the first fret was way out there, but it was just in a weird spot. I've been playing mostly Vs and Strats most of my life, and the Explorer first fret is like right in between...

I've played each iteration of them, but not extensively, as well as a Tubemeister Deluxe 40 (which I owned). They are definitely not my thing. They have a very recto-ish low end. Big and loose and bloomy. With a boost, they can do metal just fine. Cleans are really great. That's all I got lol.

Agreed. Who cares! They're different enough to justify keeping them both, and equally as awesome.

We've only been jamming with him for a couple months. The drum parts were written by a previous drummer lol.

That cat is old and deaf, and super sweet. She belonged to my mom, who passed in 2019. I took 3 of her cats, and my other guitar player took this one.

Been using V30/Redback combo until the Karnivores came out.

Yeah, whatever that 5-6k thing is. I don't think I've ever even owned a Chinese V30. Mine have all been Mesa V30s ranging from 2003-2023, and they have all had this. I haven't had any issues with Karnivores cutting through a mix...

I had a Mark IVa that had some issues that sound like this maybe 8 years ago. Took it to a local Mesa tech. They kept it for 10 weeks and couldn’t figure it out. Ended up sending it to Mesa Mike replaced some caps and sent it back. A week later, same issues occurred. I ended up sending it back...

haha I agree about the Karnivores. I like them better in every way, but the differences, while noticeable, aren't extremely pronounced. I haven't had any issues getting lost during band practice. We don't have any shows scheduled until January, so won't be able to report on that until...

haha appreciate that. Yeah, there's a slight volume difference and frequency shift between them. Not sure what the the Karnivores are rated at vs the V30s. Honestly, listening back to this, they both sound good to me. Slight preference on the Karnivores for me because they don't have that high...

Maybe a slightly more direct comparison? I only have 1 trad straight and 1 trad slant...so I can't really do straight to straight or slant to slant, and I've got the slant listed for sale...but honestly wouldn't be upset if it didn't sell. Both cabs sound really great! Settings are the same...

I had one of those. Cool pickups.
