Another Predator! You can't beat $50! Congrats on that score!

You know that the Epi 335s aren't far from the mark.

Neither are these: http://www.rondomusic.com/as820whitewide.html

A little more blingy too for your money!

Thinking about getting a "Chibson"..I know there was a thread about them..What was the general opinion?Worth $300? I have never played one. but Tracii Guns loves his. He says go to seller Jaja and ask a lot of questions. I take that to mean talk to him and tell him exactly what you want o...

I think they are basswood right now. Other cheap woods used are agathis and paulownia. It's still a maple neck with a rosewood or bubinga fretboard in that neck of the woods. Cheap labor is an amazing thing!

I got a Yamaha Pacifica off of Ebay; $83 shipped. It's the 012 made in Indonesia - still very nice. Candy apple red, rosewood board, HSS config. I'm not gonna mess with it, it plays and sounds damn good for an $83 guitar. Cranks with my little JCA20H head.

I know they make the Drop Tune pedal, so I'm sure pitch shifting is their specialty. Most of my guitars have locking trems and while I know the pedals can do a lot of stuff that an actual trem won't, I enjoy using a real trem more for some reason. I don't use the trem near as much as I used to, but ...

I didn't mean to imply he was trying to screw you; it's just standard business practice in the service industry. He might not say anything to you, but in addition to the labor money, techs like to make a few bucks on the parts too. He's probably not going to put any pressure on you, but if his price...

Update: This might get a little expensive. Figured out the fret buzz is because the groove is cut too deep at the low E string so I gotta install a new nut anydamnway. Bone nut is a nice upgrade so fuck it, it'll be worth it. Also figured out the neck pickup problem is from a fucked up volume pot s...

I really want to try and get close to a vintage Gibson PAF sound and the more I look at the "Antiquity" line, the more those seem to be what I'm looking for. I want the tone of this guitar to be a little warmer and more detailed on a clean setting than my other main humbucker guitar which...

Sweet score, man! Congratulations!

I never got to play a Falcon, but I always did wonder why they had TWO Strat copies in their lineup. In recent years I think the tables are turned and the Falcon is lower-line; of course they're both made in Indonesia now! The Predators come with 2 hums, backrouted, no pickguard, and licensed Floyds...

A USA Predator? Those are great! I had one several years back, paid $75 and it was sweet! Peavey really floated under the radar in the 80s! You scored a nice "Strat" there! Exactly... amazing! Currently $79 on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Peavey-Predator-Electric-Guitar-Red-USA-/1806...

I just bought an on Peavey strat style USA guitar for $82! It plays amazing. I think I'm going to take the name off her, relic it and add jumbo stainless for shits and giggles. Pics! A USA Predator?

Yeah, it's a modeler so I don't expect true tube response - I have tube amps anyway. Just thinking it would be cool and fun. The little Jet City head is fun too, but in a different direction. Does a few things really well but not that versatile. The Mustang does a lot of things PRETTY well but is no...

No, but I'm thinking about the Mustang 150w stereo head. Only $299 and the demos sound really good on Youtube. I already have 2 Carvin 212 slant cabs and I think they'd go great with that head for a compact rig with great stereo separation, and light to carry too!

I don't blame you a bit for that! You'd still be waiting a long time anyway! If $100 extra meant delivery in a week that'd be cool, but to still wait nearly a month, may as well just tough it out.

What's it been, a month? It HAS to get here pretty soon, doesn't it? I sympathize; waiting a week for UPS is bad enough for me!

So my reverb took a shit in my Blues Junior...surprise surprise. Any recommendations on a replacement? The tank itself died? Might spray some contact cleaner into the RCA plugs and jacks, if it's set up that way, just to make sure the connection isn't just oxidized; that's common. If the tank is re...

Good luck with that. Although thankfully for youtube, you can make sure they can play before you drag your shit across town. What I wanna do, is find a drummer with one of those geeky electric kits. So we can jam at a volume that works with my champ. And really ElToro, you need to try one. They are...

Well he's NOT onstage, he's jamming at home with just a drummer, so unless they are trying to do a White Stripes kinda thing, it doesn't sound that serious. Most bands live usually only have 2-part guitar harmonies, and it's usually the guy who also plays rhythm who plays the second part. He has so...

Weren't you just demonstrating your cool harmonizer? How is that so different? the difference between getting a bass player or getting two other guys to play a 3rd above and below you is vast... It's still using a device to replicate another musician playing with you - which I am all for, by the wa...

I just want to be able to play, lets say..."Rock N' Roll" by Zep, record the rhythm and wank on top of it...for example. Sorry if its a really dumb question, but that's what you guys are for! Thanks in advance. Sounds ghey to me. You should probably just put an ad in craigslist that says:...

hey guys...I'm in need of a good Looper. I had the small boss pedal but it sounded like shit on my amp. I can put a few bucks into it, not looking for the cheapest option, but a really good one. I just want to be able to throw some chord changes down and play over it through my amp. One question......

Any idea why they stopped making it? Just guessing that Yamaha is not a big name in amplifiers generally. They probably thought a Soldano design would break them into the market and it didn't work out for them. Their guitars are superb IMO though, so why wouldn't the amp be too? I've heard great th...

As far as "modding," I asked him about gain, and he said I would need to use a pedal, which I thought was funny, since he said the ear and the expertise to design just about any circuit on these Vintage Platforms Duh, then why don't you whip up a gain one? although he did say the smaller ...

I've owned a Squier Strat and a Tele and my brother has a Squier Strat right now. The two I had costed A TOTAL of 200 bucks together. They're a quick fix when you've got the jones for a new guitar to fuck around with but don't wanna part with the cash. But I'll never get one again. There are just t...

You got it for a steal. Not for a Squier. I've had a Squier P bass for about 10 years and mine was $180 new. Squier guitars are horrible but the basses are a LOT of bass for the amount of money you pay. Always have been. I like that Tele Bass. Squier guitars are variable. I had a Korean Stagemaster...

anyone got anything new? I got a Jet City JCA20H recently. Pretty cool amp for only $249. Cranked it sounds kind of like a baby Marshall JMP with more gain, except that it is nicely dynamics sensitive and will go from semi-clean to crunchy depending on your pick attack. Prescence control goes WAY b...
