    Speaker suggestion??

    They seem to be $65 now? Did they hike the price recently? and are they worth $65 or can you get something better for similar cash?
  2. mechanic

    Totally confused about which amp..

    You could try a isolation cabinet around a speaker cab. That would allow you to crank your amp without it getting really loud. The other suggestion I would give you is maybe you could check out the Peavey Windsor studio amp. 15 tube watts and it has a built in attenuator or "power sponge" so you...

    What Led Zeppelin album do you like best?

    I voted for their first album. I like them all though. Their recently released DVD is pretty kick a$$ as well.Lots of cool improv type stuff. Eric

    Need Quick Opinion

    I've never understood why people think like that. Jeff Healey played a Squier didn't he?

    Tele - Ugly or Beautiful?

    I never really liked or hated them. Whenever I saw someone else playing one it was "oh, so and so plays a tele" and I never gave it much more thought. Then I played one myself and I'm hooked! My cheapest guitar is now my "go to" that I find myself playing all the time. I can't explain it, it...

    My first cab build

    Great looking cabinet and fantastic build quality! Have you considered putting a handle on it though? or did I miss something? Eric

    Do you use your tone pot?

    I use the tone pot on my tele all the time. It allows me to go from almost ice pickey treble to a bass type of rhythm tone. I also like to use them to "blend" the pickups on my SG and Vox std. 24 respectively. Eric

    Modeller W/tube Amp

    I thought you would get the cleanest reproduction of the modelers signal with the tube amp at a lower volume setting? When I crank my valve jr. I get some sweet tube distortion,but wouldn't that distort the modelers signal too? I have no experience trying this so I'm just wondering out loud...

    Upgrade or VJ?

    I'd also go for the VJ. I own one and can't understand how I lived so long without it. Eric

    Gibson . . . Grrrrr

    Maybe having to pay all of those lawyers to file these types of lawsuits has something to do with Gibson's guitar prices? Just a thought. Eric

    So if I want a Les Paul style guitar...

    Dillion makes a smokin' LP copy for not much cash. I was checking out a gold top LP last week. Pretty sweet guitar,but I'm more of a SG guy so I just bought a SG copy of theirs and its AMAZING! (not "for the price" either,just flat out impressive!) If you have a dealer near you, check them out...

    First Guitar

    My first guitar was a SG copy that Sears was selling in their catalogues in the 70's. Typical SG but it had a weird pair of slider switches for pickup selection instead of the 3 way toggle switch. The sliders were mounted near the lower cutaway next to the lower "horn". Red in color, bolt on...
