Joke I was joking that because they are communists, comparing it to a big union, looking out for the general welfare of all the population, particularly the working class person, is their main communist objective and alternative approach to government and economic distribution of wealth among...

China and guitar mfg Remember the Chinesse dude and the tank? What ever happened to that guy? Anybody ever hear from him again? Anyway, they are all communists; like one big union, right? Cleaning up these messed up factories and straightening out this criminal activity should be a short...

How clean loud? It is deafeningly loud with a fair amount of cleanness. There are a lot of ways to shape your sound by tweaking the controls and interactive eq. About one o'clock on the top boost volume with the master all the way up is where you start to hear any significant breakup with...

AC15c1 I'm still really new to the amp. Last night and today I'm playing my new Epiphone LP Tribute with the USA Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers and it sounds really good after tweaking the controls on the amp. I am on the Top Boost channel right now and get some really great LP tone out of it...

China Syo, no dude. You don't need to apologize. You have first hand knowledge of what is happening in the guitar industry in China, and we should know about the status of its conditions, safety, environmental quality inside and outside the factories, management practices, etc. So many US...

Harmony There is no harmony at harmony. The old version we like so much is there alright, but it is de-nutted: you can't post new reviews, etc. So it is sort of a dead image of itself. They make it sound like they are working on the new version to make it really nice and better. I don't...

I see I see Chojin, it's like the sleeping dragon awakened, flamming the entire world economies, indiscriminately, with hot fire and cold fire, good products and junk products. It sounds like the Industrial Revolution all over again, just in another part of the world; child labor, low wages...

Ethics Gibson has its own ethical problems: importing illegal rosewood and ebony from Honduras and probably elsewhere resulting in FBI raid a couple months ago, years of advertizing their LP's as "solid" body guitars while secretly chambering the bodies to make them feel lighter and therefore...

This old song might still ring true even in these different places in space and time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEPAx37GsU0 Hope you like it. I thought it was a superior performance.

Just got the AC15c1, the new AC15 Custom that has been redesigned from the AC15CC1, to include a much more AC30 interface, plus other upgrades and design changes, physical and electronic. Supposed to be an improvement over the earlier model that I played a few years ago. I have not played it...

Tele Vood, You might like the new Fender Telecaster FMT HH with SD pickups I just got. Very light mahogany set neck and body, flammed maple top in black cherry burst. Super low action, incredible feel and sound. I paid five bills for it new from Fender straight to the store. Made in...

Guitars1969 I don't believe that the VT100 is an all tube amp. You need to get into the AC30/15 line of Vox to get that, or the smaller all tube Vox amps. They even have an AC50 tube amp. The VT100 is what they call a "hybrid", meaning it has at least one tube and a solid state balance of...

G&l I have a beautiful G&L Tribute tele semi hollow with beautiful three tone thick top and stock G&L tele pickups. It is an awesome tele and guitar in general. Looking very expensive and built really well. I traded a sss Fender Hwy One blonde for it straight up. I think 300 was probably a...

Tonelab They have a used or NOS big blue Tonelab with twin expression pedals at the place that has the small blue one without a pedal. The small one without the pedal does not have Spdif outs on the back of it, just quarter inch jacks, stereo or mono, and midi in and out. I didn't check out...

Delta Rearranged my amps today after sending the Classic back. Put the Delta on top of some two by four spacers above my Crate V32 Palomino 212 and it sounds mega louder with much better treble response, having raised it above the floor. The floor obviously had a muting affect. I'm going to...
