hey guys, there's one i like on ebay ending soon.. what are your experiences? are they a brand you'd trust buying sight unseen? (more than others)

I want to change the tailpiece on my ESP viper to the lightweight aluminum one. I am not sure if I should order the nickle one or the stainless steel one. Is there a difference in tone or is it just a cosmetic difference. Thank you.

Aside from Stew-Mac, which sells a 1/2 pint for $30.00 (ouch!!!), anyone know where you can get some amp; is there an alternative that works just as well????

I'm looking into getting a synth. I have a budget of about $400. I was looking at those Realistics, as well as the microKorg, but I just don't know. If anyone has any input on what I should get, it would be greatly appretiated.

2 x 12 100 watt combo with effects and footcontroller. Check out the reviews on harmony central.

Currently I've got one gig-worthy guitar (Epi LP) and two pretty decent amps (Marshall JTM60 and Fender Prosonic)

Anyone know what amps Allison Robertson from The Donnas is using for amps? She gets an amazing heavy marshall sound live and on record. I would love to get a sound like that. Any ideas?

Im having a lot of trouble with vibrato, in fact I cant even do one, could someone please enlighten me?

I have two quot;Stratsquot;, one with a Pearly Gates in the bridge, another with a baby Screamin' Demon. Both pickups have similar characteristics and seem to inhabit the same family, as near as I can tell. Both guitars are alder bodied.

Well yesterday after school my dad told me that we were going to Grassroots Guitar (my favorite local guitar store) and said to try out pedals, lots of pedals. Due to the fact that I love guitar gear and because my birthday is the 17th and christmas is coming I was happy to oblige. We are good friends with the owner and within a few minutes I was situated in the back room with a Crate V1512 (same amp as I own) and more than $800 worth of boutique pedals patch chorded together. During the rather long period of time I was back there I used a HBE Power Screamer, a Smart People Factory Green Line, a TS9, an MXR Zakk Wylde overdrive, and an HBE germacide pedal. The most fun i've had playing guitar for quite a while. All of the pedals were very nice, sporting true bypass (except for the TS9) and very good tone. Since I was looking for a very transparent overdrive I eventually narrowed down the range to the Power Screamer and the Green Line because the other overdrives were too grittty and the Germacide wasn't versitile enough although it does get the most wicked solo tone I've ever used. I got some sweet tones, everything from creamy Santana esque creamy infinate sustain to nasty, ripping chords. This thread doesn;t have much point except to see what your opinions are on all of those pedals and to say that overdrives are a ton of fun. I also bought a GT Gold Series 12AX7 to replace the crappy sovtek in V1 of my V1512 which made a ton of improvement, cut the noise by at least half and got rid of the microphonics. I am currently divided between the Power Screamer with a slightly cooler tone and the Green Line with more versitility and a smoother tone. What do you guys think?
