Tuners for my Squier Jazzmaster. The tuners are p bad. Hard to go wrong with some plain old vintage style Gotohs or Klusons, imo. https://www.stewmac.com/parts-and-hardware/tuning-machines/solid-peghead-guitar-tuning-machines/gotoh-vintage-style-oval-knob-6-in-line-tuners?queryid=83d0be0045e328b900...

https://alanpaul.net/2018/03/the-formation-of-the-allman-brothers-band/ Duane [Allman] loved guitar players. I only knew two people Duane didn’t like: Jimmy Page and Sonny Sharrock. He played on the Herbie Mann Push Push sessions [in 1971] with Sonny and he hated him and the way nothing he played wa...

Contributor of scene-stealing solos on some Miles Davis, Pharaoh Sanders and Herbie Mann records. Made a few albums under his own name, retired from music, came back in 1981 and made records with Last Exit, Machine Gun and several more under his own name. Posting this mainly as an excuse to include ...

The Toneprint thing seemed gimmicky to me ("oooh.. Steve Vai's chorus setting!!") I agree, in that I have zero interest in e.g. Brad Whitford's OR Joe Perry's delay settings. But the Toneprint feature does make it possible to have flangers, choruses, vibratos, saved in the four free slots...

But don't tell everyone what they're talking about. Apologies in advance, since this has nothing to do with RATM (crap, WF I thought the 1st album was pretty good when it came out & I was 11)(although, it also doesn't have anything to do with BC or the SPs) but my particular brain disorder read...

I bought an 800RB for the specific reason that, if I were unhappy with how I sounded, there was no way I could blame it on the gear. Also Dr. Balls makes a very excellent Rat-style pedal with a clean blend that's all I use when playing bass (with roundwounds).

"Smurfs instead of Filmosound" being an honest mistake is so fantastic. Even better that the resolution was so painless. I'm currently trying and failing to talk myself out of combination pedalboard/modular stuff. e.g.: https://www.ericasynths.lv/shop/snazzy-fx/tracer-city/ I should probab...

The YBA1A is the one getting 90W from a pair of 6CA7 output tubes, with +500V on the plates, right? Hence the case fan? Can new production EL34/6CA7 deal with the voltages? I need another amp about as much as I need a basement that floods every time it rains, so I'm going to talk myself out of this ...

Good point about being in good condition because certainly serviceability is something to consider with these old Peaveys too. Drifting out of topic here but there was a local guy who said he couldn't fix a broken knob on a 2x12 Peavey Special. This wasn't a dude that was a particularly great tech ...

Can anyone speak for the Yamaha G100II solid state head? Yes, they’re absolutely great sounding. I am considering picking one up. I recently missed out on an opportunity for a Sunn 200s and thought I would be better off with tubes. Just need something that is good for both bass and guitar. Garth is...
