I have this MIJ strat that is making me a bit depressed. This guitar feels great, and sounds great unplugged. It is alder bodies and maple neck.
The current config is....

I'm slowly amassing funds to buy an upgraded amp from my broken Fender SS and Marshall SS amps. Though I wouldn't rule out a modeller, I do recognize that I like the sound of a good tube amp more. The main sounds I am looking for are fat (but not flubby) medium to high gain rhythm tones, with the ability to cut when necessary for a lead. A clean channel would be nice too. It doesn't need to be sparkly like a twin or anything, but usable. I've played a couple of the new Vox CC AC30 amps (a 1x12 and a 2x12) and I think this is a phenomenal base sound. Unfortunately, I want quite a bit more gain and flexibility on tap than it can provide. Recorded tones I am after are anything done by Porcupine Tree (Bad Cat Hot Cat 30) and a lot of A Perfect Circle's stuff (Marshalls, VHTs and Rectos).
What amp do you think I would like, keeping price in mind? My first inclination is to go for a 2 or 3 channel amp, but lately on my GT-6 I've just been using a Matchless model set for medium gain with a booster for more gain and an EQ (and volume knob) for a gain cut.

Title says it all....

In my never ending drama of building up the Franklin 15, the combo cab finally got here. Shipping error delayed its arrival until yesterday.

I have a chrome set of these ( from : localhost/that'd I'd like to trade for a set of black tuners, any brand. I don't care if they're locking, I'd just like some that work well. I barely used them; they were on a Kramer I made from parts but I took it apart after a week and sold the parts. They were in use for about 20 minutes.

Hi!

Here is what I have for sale,

No I don't shred, nor do I play much solos anyway, but I'm hopelessly stuck in the 80s and I love Strats with humbuckers, or neck through stratoid shapes I'm spending part of my money into some of the Stew Mac tools for my future tech shop (thinking about 10 years ahead but eh I gotta start early) and the rest may go to another guitar. The purpose of it is to get a guitar that's easily modeable, very playable (compound radius for low action preferable). Bridge doesn't matter, nor do the pickups to be honest (replaceable). It'd need to have decent quality woods (any is ok. I'm used to basswood and I love it so I could do with something different to try it out). It can be second hand (eh for that price it most likely will be). Bolt on, set or neck through don't matter as long as the sustain is decent. I'll set it all up myself (most likely new nut and maybe fretwork if I know how by then) so factory set up doesn't matter as much either. In fact not much matters but eh, I hope you get a decent picture
Right now I'm just opening my mind to suggestions. I have a truckload of ideas but I'm wondering what you guys can think that I didn't know about. It'd be to play anything from blues to very high gain stuff but again that'll depend on the pickups amps (seperate problem).

Hello All Another Shameless Pod Xt Plug And Question?

This is my PRS (w/10 top ) I bought on UGD in Santa Barbara from Instrumental Music. It's got a Jazz neck and a Distortion/Custom hybrid with the oversized ceramic mag. Tomorrow the review/s come/s up
