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 just installed one of these pups in the bridge position of my Fender Classic 60's Strat and put it infront of my Marshall TSL head with the gain on 10.

Here’s a few pics of the Ibanez project I’ve been working on. This is a 1997 Ibanez RG170… a cheapo right off the shelf. I’m going for the proverbial “from chicken **** to chicken soup.” Almost done with it, just need to repair a couple “oopsies” from the bridge routing and prep for shooting clear.

Ive never had a guitar professionally set up before. I do ok intonating, setting action, replacing pickups etc. A pro set up costs $100-200 in my area and since my financial resources are very limited, (im currently working 3 jobs to take care of my family) if I manage to put $100 aside, I feel I should use it for something lasting and tangable like a pedal or tubes. However, Ive heard that a pro set up and fret dress and all makes a guitar play like a dream. Is this a good investment?

I have started to mod my jazzmaster...time for new pup. any suggestions?..i`m thinking lowend humbuckers..my guitar is daphne blue and it would be sooo cool to have a really fat metalisch dirtortion sound from the bridge...and a bright clean from the neck..What do you think? Any one tried something like this?

Are the sizes of an attenuator supposed to match or be larger than the wattage of your amp? For instance ,can I use a 25 mini mass with my 55 watt amp or do I need to go larger?I wasnt sure if the wattage rating had something to do with how much the attenuator can take from your amp or if its the other way around.

Im thinking about getting a 1979 Marshall JMP master model head but I read somewhere that they had the same circuits as the early JCM800s which I dont want. Does anyone know if thats true and if it is what years have the same circuits as the JCM800s? Thanks.

It's all becoming clearer about Gibson's plan. Gibson may be the first guitar company to go past the point of being 'just a guitar', to the point of being a commodity that's sold as a high ticket item, through their own stores. Carvin is similar, but won't have the impact of Gibson's brand name. In Los Angeles, I'm starting to see regular commercials on TV for Gibson guitars, and I'm wondering if they're setting the stage for starting Gibson Franchises.....in other words, retail stores in key areas that sell nothing but Gibson merchandise!

I just got one a couple days ago, and am loving it.

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?

Price? Playability? Sound? Weight? Etc....

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.

Is it possible to fit a 'soapbar' style p-90 in a les paul humbucker rout, without further routing?
Thanks if you can help, or if you have any ideas

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

Hey have any of u guys used both of these the Marshall Bluesbreaker (BB2) amp; The Boss Blues Driver (BD2)? I wanna go in for one of the two? I liked the tone of the Boss Blues driver from the clips in the website.

I know how the Lil 59 sounds as a bucker .. but not spilt.
How does it compare to a standard Strat single coil?

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?

Is there any way to remove excessive fret glue that seeps out the edges of the fretboard? I dont want to ruin the finish though. Thanks!
