Anyone with a coated neck? How different is it compared to the non coated necks? Am planning to get one soon, but still tied between coated/non coated neck and p90/humbuckers. Yes, the coated neck is cool. I believe that it does change the sound a little bit. To my ear, it has a little bit more jan...

Roy Smeck was amazing. And a lot of other early Hawaiian style players too. There's a whole world to investigate there, filled with mind blowing stuff. But be careful, because contemporary music will start to sound more and more boring. ps - the instruments with the Roy Smeck name were just a market...

PLEASE: Jonathan Williams and everything related from his Jargon Society press. He died earlier this year and I was very sad. A huge inspiration.

As the extremely proud owner of the first production Iso model (after Ago's prototype), I can say that it's a completely amazing guitar, and sounds very different from all of the other EGCs that I've heard. Something about the powder coat on the neck, and maybe the extra length in the headstock, and...

I think we are talking about a transistor amplifier, no? Oh, that could be. I know not from the Ashdown brand. I was assuming, and I think we both know what that does. Yes, it is transistor. I'm usually a vintage tube snob, and keep my distance from anything solid state unless it's a Traynor (duh) ...

Thanks y'alls. Running an 8 ohm cab with a 4 ohm head is ok, but we're not at full power. Now it doesn't need to be ear-splittingly loud or anything, and we will have decent sound systems everywhere. The bass player's 100 watt ampeg combo just wasn't cutting it, so he's going to use my rig... I'm th...

OK so I'm leaving on a 5 week tour at the end of the month, and our bass player is using my Ashdown 300 watt head, which is a pretty solid road amp. I usually play it with a 1x15 and a 4x10, both 8 ohms for the total 4 ohm load of the amp. But we won't have room to bring both cabs in the van. The am...

Last year they had one used in Guitar Center Atlanta when I was passing through on tour. I'd never seen one before and the thing was so strange looking that I had to plug in to it. It's impossible to really tell anything in GC, but it sounded surprisingly good. This one had a LOT of those little spe...
