As the title says. Looking for either a Guv'nor (and not the shitty one) or Drivemaster, a Fortin Zuul+ and maybe a Maxon 808 (plain Jane standard version).
Not much luck here and I also see other people’s stuff sitting for long periods of time although some prices slowly dropping. I get lots of interest but it’s mostly trade offers and people making genuinely low ball offers with a side of sob story like that will make me just give something away.
Yep in the 90’s there was guaranteed to be one of these at every metal show. There was also a grind band called Anal Blast that had a shirt that looked like a CoF shirt that said Anal of Blast - Vaginal Vempire and had a naked chick getting eaten out by another chick. Kind of hard to get far out...
That is pretty edgy, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that Slayer shirt. However I still don’t think anything ever topped the old Butchered at Birth album art.
Great idea if you can find a way to sell it to TGP crowd - AUTHENTIC relic jobs. They pay you so they can send you their nice expensive guitars and you just play them hard - take them to gigs and everything. Eventually you send them back all fucked up…eventually. Well, they probably won’t be...
Clipped that dude out and the TAD Redbase tubes I was running dropped way down to 15mA. Now the amp sounded like the familiar fizzy garbage at lower volumes and great cranked up. Swapped in a set of EHX 6L6 I knew would run hotter and they’re at about 24-25mA which seems like a sweet spot...
Yeah I had mine for like 5-6 years. I didn’t hate it or anything, it was just a very up front and tight kind of sound. It recorded pretty well actually but in the room compared to a good 1960 style cab or a Mesa it seemed thin and bright. I have no idea why it was so heavy, I swear it was harder...
I don’t know that I have a favorite but I don’t like them too thin and wide or with a lot of shoulder. One of the best feeling necks I’ve had is the one on my Peavey LTD HB. 1 5/8” nut, 12” radius, not sure the measurements of the carve but it’s on the small side without feeling too thin...
It doesn’t seem like Avatar sells 4x12’s anymore. Their website only had 2x12’s and 1x12’s last I looked. I had one of their traditional 4x12’s that they always sold for cheap back in the day with a combo of V30’s and G12H30’s and it was a pretty bright/stiff sounding cab. Also one of the...
I briefly had an MT15 and it was a cool amp. Great clean channel and the gain character I would describe maybe like in between a 5150 and a Dual Rectifier. What I didn’t like about it was it was just too dark and smooth for me. Like you can run the presence wide open and turn the treble and mid...
I haven’t bought a guitar with a licensed floyd on it in probably 20 years, but I don’t remember that one feeling this trashy. Even the locking nut is full of burrs. Quality goes down, price goes up - now that’s progress!
Sounds like the Gotoh 1996 will be a worthwhile upgrade. I have a Vega...
It looks like it should fit. The finer tuners on the 1500 are so bad. Out of 7 strings, all but two are hard to turn and get hung up at spots due to the poor quality of the threads. It gets old fast.
I can get one of the 1996T-7’s for like $120. It just seems so cheap when the OG Floyds are...
The fine tuning screws on this 1500 series Floyd are awful. I’ve never used the Gotoh before, is it a big step up in quality of things like how well all the little parts are machined?
I’m surprised the Gotoh 1996T’s really aren’t expensive. I bought a 6 screw 510 trem bridge last year that...
In plain old nickel wound strings the differences are definitely subtle, although I definitely FEEL a difference between some and would say for instance D’addarios always seem a little brighter and more lively than Ernie Balls. It really doesn’t matter though as if you’re comparing any of them...
I also probably think of the 2203/2204 sound first, especially that classic Anthrax 80’s tone, but it’s hard to deny the pure AC/DC JTM tones. I also always think of the super lead tones on Mercyful Fate’s Melissa, but really super leads are used on so many albums and by so many players, they...
