Maybe I'm getting old, but I still prefer older amps with fewer knobs to twiddle. I used a Marshall Valvestate at a gig I did recently and it had way too many knobs for my taste. I much prefer my old Fender Champs, or my 1960's Gibson Invader which has three or four knobs. I can still get a great tone by just plugging in and cranking up.

some advice re: Fender Combo Amps
Hey guys. I am most likely going to buy a Fender combo amp this summer and began checking what options are available, but there are so many. I haven't any clue where to even start. I play a Tele, Strat, and a Les Paul and am currently using a Marshall DSL 2000 stack but want a different sound than the Marshall. Hence looking for a real versatile Fender combo for hard rock/blues/funk/pop music. Here's some of the specs I am looking for:

Bigsby vibrato tailpiece pros and cons
Hi all,
Here it goes: I want to mod my inexpensive SG copy with a Bigsby vibrato (or an inexpensive work-alike if I can find one). I already got a killer deal on a roller bridge (a no-name brand but decent quality as far as I can judge, having tinkered with guitars for 15 years). There are a few things that come to mind, and a few questions I cannot answer myself at the moment. Please help me and shed some light if you can. Thank you.

Best guitar for modding?
Whats the best guitar to buy purely to mod the hell out of? I wouldnt want to spend loads on the original purchase as so much would be replaced, but obviously i do need a resonant body and a nice neck. After seeing various XSSIVE threads of awesome guitars modded up, its made me start GASSin.

So I was browsing the custom shops page and...
I ran across the *custom pitch or layers* under coil rewinding. What is that?

Some Questions about Line 6
Looking over their site I'm a bit confused.
Can I get the same sounds out of a POD XT as the Duoverb?

Broke my Les Paul
Well I just got my Gothic Les Paul this morning and I think I broke it only a few minutes ago. The nut around the input on the guitar was very loose so I tightened it up with a wrench and now when I plug into an amp the guitar is dead, no sound comes out. Was probably stupid of me to do that but I'm not sure exactly what I broke or how to fix it. Any ideas of what might have happened when I did that or what I should do? I'm not really an expert when it comes to the electronics inside the guitar.

Best PAF reissue?
I was wondering what brand makes the closest to a real paf. I'm looking for a smaller magnet paf type pickup thats wound somewhere around 8-9. Or if anyone knows of a good custom shop that could replicate a paf.
