I currently have a Mesa Mark 4 COMBO that is way way way too loud for my lil apartment. I have been thinking of an attunuator for some time now but don't know which one to get. The good folks at Mesa Boogie strongly recommend the THD Hotplate, however I've been hearing some good things about the DR. Z Airbrake. I also like the features the Airbrake has like a Bedroom setting that supposedly reduces output to something like 1 watt...
I guess does anyone have any experience with using the Airbrake in a Mark IV Combo, or does the DR. Z only work with a Head/Cab setup?

theres no real point to this thread except to show it off, but i took these this morning and dig em
that thing sucks man...ship it to me so you don't have to deal with it anymore hehehe J/K...it's very nice...i still need to get an explorer myself!! stick a mirror pickguard on that and i'd be drooling!!

a question for you (of course ) :

Saw one in good condition in guitar center today for $350. Seemed like a good deal, what would these usually go for?

Im planing on putting on two alnico 2 pickups and one alnico 5 pickup in my guitar. Would an alnico 5 magnet negate the the low string pull of the alinco 2's and result in sustain a guitar with all alnico 5 pickups would have?

This is just an idea I've been intertaining for a while, if anyone for some reason thinks its a good one fell free to use it, just be kind and credit me LOL

Hey.

On ze bay.

I have found tonal bliss with the pickup combo and setup on my new LP. The pups are not hot so the sound is warm and sweet. I would however like to get a backup and make it a crunchmiester.. I cant afford another Gibson right now, so I was looking at getting either an Agile 2800 or an Epi Elitist Studio. Ill probably load it with emg zakk wylde set or Duncan Custom or distortion,What do you recommend???

for money? particularly nitro?
