    If you get upset about four days to ship, you really don't want to apply for a passport or renewal these days.

    2203KK VS. Silver Jubilee

    My SJ bias was out of whack too. I put it at 72 per side, ran it pretty hard for a while, saw it get back to 72 and that's where I left it. Sounds much better. I also put 12AT7s in the preamp section to tame the distortion some.

    Battle of the Marshalls

    When I see the YT videos of the various Silver Jubilees, I love them. Seriously, so many of them sound great. But I just can't bond with them. I had the 2525C and loved it. But when it ran out of balls at an outdoor gig, I knew it was too much for a practice amp and too little for band duty...

    Battle of the Marshalls

    My '79 2203 has smoked each of the five Silver Jubilees I've owned. Not even a contest.

    2203KK VS. Silver Jubilee

    I also have a black tolex, mirror panel 2555x from Sweetwater, which I'm selling. I have finally given up on them and this is my fifth one. I'm replacing it with a Friedman Smallbox head that arrives Monday. The older I get, the less gain I use and my aging eyes don't see the mirror knobs on...

    Why does my 4x12 Marshall sound like ass?

    I had a Marshall 2x12 that started sounded pretty rough. Turns out that every single screw and bolt in it was loose and the thing was about to come apart. I only ever play it at full band volume, so it gets a workout. Once I cinched everything back down, it sounded great.

    Saw Metallica last night….

    I have tix for Sept. 1st. Haven't seen them since the Monsters of Rock in 1988.

    NGD: EVH Frankie

    When I built my Frankenstrat, I added a black Tesi kill switch in the pickguard. It's almost invisible, but it works perfectly for the end of the You Really Got Me guitar solo.

    Thoughts on EBMM guitars?

    Best guitar on the market. I have two of the old EBMM EVHs and three Axis. They are flawless in quality control and consistency. If I were a big rock star, I would not endorse any other brand for any amount of money. I have a few other guitars just because, but EBMM is my home.

    Steve Brown Sound SBS

    I'm not in the market, but man, this looks like a metric ton of guitar for the money. My first guitar was a cheapo Hondo Strat for $160 in 1984. In 2023 dollars, that's probably what these SBS's cost, but in 1984 you'd have to have sprung for a Kramer Pacer to get close to this much guitar.

    Steve Brown Sound SBS

    If these guitars are really good and the Floyds are the cheap Korean metal, it'd still be a decent deal to grab one and swap out the Floyd for one of the German metal ones. The base price isn't bad for a base partscaster to throw upgrades into as time and funds allow.

    Reverb Buyer Payment Delays

    Doesn't Reverb let you use PayPal Credit? That's six mos. interest-free financing. I've done that when I had gear I needed to sell to cover what I was buying, never paid them a dime of interest. I know eBay used to allow, haven't bought anything big on Reverb in a while. But if PayPal Credit...

    Anyone ever build one of these amp kits?

    I went with the '78 spec. I asked several people about it and all said '78 was better than '76.

    Anyone ever build one of these amp kits?

    I've done a few Valvestorm/Metro builds and they came out great. I recently did the Mojotone 2204 build (combo) and it absolutely slays. I dare say it sounds every bit as good as my real 4010 and did it for half the money.

    Floyd Rose Upgrades help needed

    There is no upgrade once you get the 1984. Just get it and be done with it. Buy once, cry once.

    Chasing the Green Day Live '94 Dookie Mod

    Also not a Green Day fan, but that tone is fantastic. I'm almost tempted to do a build and add that mod now.

    Damn, I'd take those scratch n dent handles, but already have your handles on all my cabs.

    Fedex are fuckers

    UPS delivery of a DSL40C from GC at my house. https://flic.kr/p/2m3HYFv][/URL] https://flic.kr/p/2m3HYGx][/URL] USPS lost a pistol barrel I shipped to a guy in FL. I had insurance, they denied the claim, said they delivered it. I said, "Yeah, I believe you. But it was to the wrong...

    Hey boys, don't let this Kramer pass you by, you'll regret it

    That's an Axis tribute, but I did later have a pink EBMM EVH and also did not bond with it. My blue and sunburst ones, however, are going into my coffin with me.
