Yep, Bill is a handy guy, not sure what at but it ain't his ampwork or tattoos, thats his personal skill level above.

That video is way over processed and i assure you is the amp does sound even slightly like the video Blades has nothing to do with it.

Get out. Is that really a tat he did?

Why, something wrong with it?

Best EVH tone I've ever heard, not coming from the man himself... How much, and where do I purchase?

PM sent, That's what everybody at NAMM said too. The "ears" don't lie, Billy knocked it out of the park. Send your email.

Do you have any gut-shots of the Blades? I see what I assume was an experimental build that everyone is having fun with...

That was a Blades.

It's not even a real tat... looks like marker or something. Someone's trying to pull our legs here.

The gut shots are from Blades, he has a similar picture on his website. Yet he has Michael Wagener using his amp and other pros. How can this be? Either his amps are better than we all watched over the last year or so, or he is really pulling a scam on people.

You know, the guys comes off as crazy. And the shots of his "work" that are floating around make it seem like he doesn't even know which end of a soldering iron to grab. But those sound really good.

There's a difference between being not pretty and unsafe. Billy's amps were unsafe.

Here's a Matchless Chieftain... Doesn't have to be pretty to sound great obviously. This is true PTP, so there's only so much you can do to make it look tidy. I'm a stickler for uniformity... Just my nature I guess? Some of the old PTP Fender amps are downright scary looking inside!

Billy's work isn't just untidy, though. There's a difference.

Look at the amp earlier in the thread. Looks like a 4 year old soldered it. Triple soldered he say (what the hell does that mean?). And theres a lot of criticalwires that are bare and exposed and shouldn't be. So, somebody could get hurt although I haven't heard that anybody has
Are you saying someone was injured using a Billy Blades amplifier?

A piece of shit is a piece of shit no matter who plays it gold knobs or not.

Anyone who would consider buying blades products (or tattoos) needs to check urself.

There's always clarinet.
