    Deciding on pickups is tough

    Yep. Most of them sound generally the same and are way overpriced. I learned to just go with the pickups that came with my guitar, even the Squier pickups! Deepest rabbit hole / money pit you'll ever fall into. Good luck!

    "I'm the One" Swing analyzed.....how good was Ed's swing?....

    I don't understand all the hype or what is so difficult about that riff, especially the swing of it. :dunno:

    A man, his JCM800, Les Paul w/EMGs and a Boss SD-1..........circa 1993 can you guess who I am?

    2203s & 2204's of course. My fist Marshall was a channel switching 2205 and it was pretty cool. Kinda buzzy sounding but I didn't know much about Marshall or amps in general back then. I traded that for a 1974 Superlead. Had that for decades as my main amp. Now I have a 2203 and that rips!

    Buying a pedal to fill a space....interesting logic.

    JCM 800 + SD-1 = Just about every 80s hair / metal guiatist's rig back in the 80s /90s. What an original sound. LOL Cool videos! Thanks for sharing.

    Strong hints that Van Halen 1 68 lead was just a slave amp and not the main amp.

    All this VH tone chasing from newbies just discovering him & his brown sound is getting really silly after all these years. Just Google it. It's not hard to dial in that sound with a PLEXI or 2203.

    The Tube Store Kills all USA Shipping

    Not music related but Eduard isn't shipping to the US either now. They're in the Czech Republic. They manufacture scale models and accessories. What a drag. They make killer models and that's my wintertime weekend morning fun. I can still buy from US retailers but I'd like to order right from them.

    Does Bad Hardware = Bad Guitar Tone? | Rules of Tone | PRS Guitars

    No. I have a few cheap guitars with cheap hardware, and they sound great for gigging.

    Special-edition MXR Randy Rhoads Distortion+ Pedal (NOT a limited edition)

    Yeah, we need a special addition MXR EQ with noisy, vintage op amps and ceramic caps. It can have the KISS sticker on it too! Maybe it'll have a pre-set button too for Dime's settings.

    So Apparently Roger Watered Down Thinks He's above Ozzy

    It's about dignity and being a decent human being not a talent comparison.

    Gibson has relaunched its first ever signature pickup – the Tony Iommi humbucker: $229.00 for ONE PICKUP

    Any more than 120 bucks is too much for ANY pickup. I don't care if the devel himself made it. a Lot of pickup builders rip the crap off of people.
