So I got my Charvel traditional the other day and was very dissapointed. First, one of the strings was broken, it did not come with a trem bar, and the set-up was terrible. I bought it from AMS, who I have always had great luck with, and normally would of returned it for a new one, but it was their only one. I'm thinking that the guitar showed up in a warehouse somewhere, and was shipped to AMS for sale. I think this because that guitar has not been available for some time now. Anyway, I took it to my local shop for a set-up, and when I picked it up, the guy told me it has issues. The neck has a flip in it, and needs at least a grind and polish to fix it. I'm sure that I can get done under warrenty, but I do not think I am. I'm probably just going to send it back. I would still like another floyd guitar to mess around with. I saw those OLP MM1's on AMS. For what I paid for the Charvel, I could get an MM1, plus totally upgrade it with new pups, fret polish, setup, whatever. Has anyone played one or have any opinions on that, or even the Charvel for that matter?
quot;The Neck has a Flip in itquot;......Ehm, what exactly do you mean??? This term is new to me (Having a Flip?? I only know drinking or doing a flip )
All of the Charvel Pro series axes (Journeyman, Traditional, Standard, Model A...) were an unbelievable deal for the cash (although also al played after the discontinuation about this time last year)....

hey guys, i have got me a Laney VC 30 112 tube amp, it comes with a 'preimium' ECC83 pre amp, and some Premium EL84's.
I mean she sounds nice, but iknow she can sound better. What would be the way to go from here, some JJ tubes?? Also thinking about some groove tubes aswell. Money isnt really an issue with tubes.
Anyone?

Hi all,
tested a cheapo in-ear monitoring set for my top-40 band yesterday. At first the overall sound was very muddy which we achieved to correct with an equalizer, but the guitar always sounded terrible.
I played a Strat style though some stompboxes, Hamp;K Tubeman II and with recording output directly into mixer. The front-sound is ok with this setup, but in the monitor it sounds like guitar played into mixer without speaker emulator. Very thin, screechy and sterile.

I just heard the clip on Musiciansfriend and WOW... With my full shred I think I'll love the tone through the AOR (which unfortunately I have yet to get But wednesday I should have it)
I was thinking of also using that pedal as another channel. I could get a cheap boost (I'll build a microamp) and also use the ProCo Rat 2... Damn it seems really sweet. Has anyone got experience with it? Who can tell me more about it?
And how about the Maxon pedal? It looks like a tube screamer but has some nice high gain tones in there it seems.
I may not buy them for a while, but I'm curious about these two.

Just out of curiosity... do the nickel or brass covers on the HB pups make a sound difference, or are they just for looks? If they do make a sound difference... what is it?
Depends on who you talk to. Most quality nickel covers do not affect the sound at all. If they do, the will affect the treble a little (less treble), but again, very little. Most folks would be hard pressed to hear the difference, IMO.
I'm with Jeff on this one. The Brass covers affect the pup adversely from some of the stuff I've read. Seth Lover went with the German silver (nickel silber) because it didn't bother the magnetic field. Some people think it helps further buck the hum.

Howdy people,
I've got a 65 Mustang (stock) and a pair of JB junior - little 59 p'ups I got off ebay that have been sitting around. Does anyone recommend this combo? They were originally meant to go on a different guitar, but that fell through. Now I'm tempted to throw em in to see what they'll do to my Mustang. If so, I was thinking JB in the bridge, and little 59 in the neck.... I hope someone knows about this setup!!
I guess you mean a 65 Mustang Reissue... Otherwise you'll be ruining a precious vintage axe!!!

I just got a very cool mid 60s Multivox bass combo. Amp has tons of promise, but has a new EF86 in it that is buzzy. I know the old ones are spendy, but it is worth it to find one. I really like a lot of what that tube does. Any recomendations? Or better yet, anyone have an extra they might sell?
I have an amprex in my route 66 and it works great. I haven't tried any other NOS ef86's but i also hear nice things about phillips
i hear you can get some new ones but they aren't always reliable

What do you think is a fair price for a used (assume good condition) Roland Jazz Chorus 120?
I ask because a buddy saw one at a pawn shop, and I thought it would be a good option for amplifying my PODxt since they are so squeaky clean.
Also, if anyone owns one (or a similar model), please chime in and let me know what it's like. I love the model on my POD ... Oh, and yes, I am aware of the irony of modelling a JC 120, and amplifying it with a JC 120

yup, lucky number 13 and it's oh so fitting for the guitar...2001 Fender Iron Maiden signature strat in like new condition! i've wanted one since '01 when they came out and the only year they made them but i never found a clean one for sale at a good price. before i found this one i almost bought one at a dealer for more money and it has some buckle rash...then i found this flawless one for $300 less than that other dealer wanted so i dove on it! the only thing i'm a bit upset about is the previous owner changed the pickguard from mirror to black mother of pearl but that's ok, i already ordered a new mirror guard to replace this on and bring it back to it's killer stock glory (yeah, odd for me...stock hehe). anyway, enough babble here she is....and man does it play nice!!-Mike
Sweet! Im glad you found this one! You're right though...it looks funny with that guardplate, I almost got that colour for my JV Strat (which is also black/maple), and it's cool, but Im glad I went with tortoise. That thing is gonna look sweet with the mirror guard on it!
That's great. Let me know how you like your first basswood guitar.

Hi gang,
I got an old Yamaha bass with SD P-bass pickups that has a little switch bank with 2 dipswitches. Can anyone tell me what are these for? Thanks.
switch 1 shifts the coil resonance, the resonance moves downward from 22 KHz to 6.4 KHz
