Yeah, she sounded awful. Probably was embarrassed as hell after watching & listing to it afterwards. LOL

From what I watched so far, Slayer was probably my favorite. The video I saw the next morning sounded awesome as well as the footage, but it got taken down. Nuno saved the day, I think. Steve Tyler sounded surprising good. Sammy messed up lyrics and sounded terrible and seemed like he didn't...

I use the cheap store brand ones from my local music store. Sound and hold up great.

I'm surprised Tom Morello was even there. I don't think he can even play any Ozzy or Sabbath tunes. He just kind of stood there strumming most of the time.

Yes. Built a half dozen over the years. Go to Home Depot and you'll be all set. Plywood, paint, Velcro, rubber feet and a handle or two if needed. The hardest part is cutting the plywood to size and that's easy if you have the tool(s).

I tried my old SD-1 into my 2203 a few times but I just don't need it. When I play at home by myself, it sounds really cool but when I rehearse with the band or gig, the amp itself is just right. I like to add a delay for lead and single note lines. I'll use a Boss GE-7 for a lead boost.

You are the master!

I have seen those pics years ago. Nothing new to me anyway.

I do my own now. My first re-fret was on my 1980 LP Standard with neck binding. I didn't want to pay 400 dollars for re-fret so I bit the bullet and did it myself. Turned out really good even though I made a lot of rookie mistakes. I just finished doing my 1984 Explorer too & that also turned...

Check your cords connected to the eq. A bad cord can sound thin, weak and cause hum.

Maybe the box of tubes used for that production run was dropped by accident and the tubes developed cracks? Might not be JJ's fault.

It sounds like it feels real stiff to play to me, especially on the palm mutes.

Congratulations! That's sweet amp and I bet it sounds killer! Good luck with it!

Same with George's Music where I live. They are trained to act a certain way, in other words, too friendly (very fake) with uncomfortable personal questions about a person's gear used. I don't feel like discussing that with a salesman. My old roommate worked for them in management and told me...

I have a DiMarzio 36th anniversary bridge pickup that sounds thin and weak in my 1980 LP Standard, 1984 Explorer and Superstrats. It's a dud for me. I also have a vintage 70s super distortion and a 90s era one. They are much better & sound pretty awesome in my LP but kinda thin in all of my...
