    Ngd- prs

    I recently went into my local guitarshop and noticed they had a lot of USA PRS models in. Being friendly with the store owner, he let my try each one out (including one of the new Modern Eagles in a custom finish worth about £10,000- needless to say I was terrified of scratching it!). One in...

    The new Blackstar Venue Range

    I had been spying these for a while on YouTube. Just from those limited clips they sounded pretty good. When my local shop got a HT-20 Studio combo in, I asked to play it. I was blown away by just how good they sound in person and could not believe how cheap these things are (well not THAT...

    Billm Blues Jr mods worth it?

    I've had a Blues Jr for 2 years now and have pretty much decided I want to get rid of it. It doesn't really have the classic fender tone I was led to believe by the sales rep in store. It sounds pretty sterile and bland a low volumes and downright harsh and boxy at high volumes. Its the standard...

    Long Time No See, and Advice Needed

    Well, its been a very long time since i posted...um..about 7 months :D and theres so much to catch up on that it will takes weeks to sift through. But anyhow, I've come to a predicament regarding my AD50: It simply ain't loud enough. I know I had this conversation with several of you before, and...

    Building your own Strat

    Hey guys, I'm in the process of selling my Vintage VS6 SG copy, and so I'll have some spare money, so I think I've found my summer project http://www.thomann.de/thoiw2_harley_benton_eguitar_kit_prodinfo.html Its increadibly cheap, which means the electronics are going to be less than low...

    Matt's take on the AD50VT

    Hey guys, sorry I havnt posted for weeks, but life has been rather irksome and busy lately, but luckily, I have managed to jam quite often and I'm starting to love my AD50VT more and more. So I thought why not post a review now that I'm on my easter holidays (ah the wonders of still being in...

    Reducing the feedback in AD series amps?

    After a few jamming sessions with my AD50VT, I've come to realise a somewhat annoying and almost irksome problem- unwanted feedback on the high gain channels. Now I know its normal etc, but usually feedback builds up right? Well in my case, when i have the amp set to 50W and master on full, I...

    Decision Time!

    Well, I've now got the means to buy myself a semi-decent amp around the £230 mark, approx $400 for you americans, but I am torn as to what to get. Within this price range, I have several options: Laney Tubefusion range (the one I want is 120W (the TF-300 II), hybrid (tube/ss)) Vox Valvetronix...

    Rory Gallagher

    Just wanted to know people's opinions on him. I've got Tattoo Lady on L.P, and was considering buying some CDs, but just wanted to know if it was worth it. My favourite songs at the mo are: 1) Sleeping on a Clothesline 2) Who's That Coming 3) A Million Miles away. He's a pretty fast player...

    Myspace?

    Hey all, does anyone on this board use a myspace account? I've just realised that they are a great way to start to get your band noticed, and upload songs for people to listen to. This is my main band, of which I'm main guitar for. Beware, dodgy vocals, and all live playing. We're just couple...

    Epiphone Triggerman Amps

    Ive just noticed these, and think they are a new line http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/options.php?id=69201 Now it says it has tube tone circuitry. Does this mean it has an actual tube in the preamp (like the marshall valvestates)? If so, this could be one funky amp, considering it looks so...

    Thoughts On Latest Song Musings

    Alright fellas, I was extremely bored this evening and decided to record something and see what you lot think :D timings nowhere near perfect, and theres no drums, bass or singing, just me doing the two guitar parts. Admittably this was inspired by 6S9L's 'Head Of A Pin' :D All done on my '51...

    Joined the acoustic club

    Well I had a pleasant suprise to find a guitar on my doorstep that I had thought had been cancelled and had been reimbursed for. No matter, I love the thing, and havnt been able able to put it down since- even in school :P It is a Crafter FX-550EQ in a rather dashing purple colour, and it...

    Opinions on the laney tube fusion series?

    hey guys, ive been needing a new amp for some time, my old marlin reverb 25 (who the hell made those?) is lacking in the power department and is struggling to keep up with the drummer. and its overdrive function has blown, so i would really like a new amp. Ive been looking at the Laney tube...

    Yet another newbie XD
