Re: SoCal Amp repair?

Jeff Snyder was always the guy in N County SD. Let me check. My old guitarist works at a shop in Vista and I am pretty sure Jeff does their work. Not sure if you are closer to LA or SD. I can ask around some friends about LA (One guy I know in particular will no quality people for sure)

Re: Fender Tonemaster Pro

Got it yesterday and ran it through paces this am. Its pretty amazing. Sounds are great. Maybe not quite fractal/nueral quad level but pretty damned good. In a live setting band mix they will easily.do they job Presets are solid. But if course eveeyone will tweak them Ease of use on the interface is...

Re: When Heroes Die (feat. T.i.M) by Saturday's Child

finally got a chance to check this out. Cool stuff. Obviously some departure from the norm (not always a bad thing) and you can definitely still here Sat Child in there! So... Cool tune. Even more so that you got to share it with a family member.

Re: Fender Tonemaster Pro

So this is a Tone Master Pro. I’ve been seeing talk about these but assumed it was a solid state pro reverb like the Deluxe Reverb and Twin. And last I heard a Headrush was a (somewhat dated) Looper by Akai Correct on the Pro. Headrush has more than loopers now (and yeah,. it is Akai). They actuall...

Re: Fender Tonemaster Pro

Yeah, that looks great. Didn't know you could put acoustic through it, but I suppose it would be strange if you couldn't. I was at a wedding recently and the guitarists and bassist were all going through helixes. Sounded really, really good. They also had an electric drum kit. Drummer had a tiny mi...

Fender Tonemaster Pro

Well. Given its getting closer to tax time (write offs) and I had some credits due me anyways, I ordered one of these. Should be here Tuesday. I have tried Fractal (too complicated for me) Headrush (not bad but limited to me) and some of the cheaper options (mooer, etc). With the new 90s band kickin...

If you are ever interested., let me know.. You'd probably love the Jr.

Check out the Juliet as well. It is a very interesting original design.

Nice! Which one’s yours? The Jr and Dread. The 335 style is for my lead guitarist (though I am going to order either an Eastman Juliet (original model), An sb56 (goldtop p90 Les Paul), or a T64v. Full hollow 335 type with dog ears and bigsby. Couldnt decide yesterday. I have an artist relationship ...

Re: Strat wiring question

Hlysht, love it! (The guitars and the band idea) Thanks. This was a squier 40th anniversary model I got on clearance so its a fun and versatile guitar that looks cools and I can take and not worry about. I have been pretty skeptical on taking the customs ones out to bars much. They just are not rep...

Re: Strat wiring question

So it's just standard toggle, standard volume/tone/tone, but with those push-pull pots that give all the options? A bit awkward, but quite useful. Nice guitar. Thanks. It is a strange setup for sure. And I am not one who will likely be switching mid song much so thats easy. The pots are strange as ...

Re: Strat wiring question

yep. Didn't explain it quite right. Did get it sorted out. Starting a 90s band with some friends and wanted a bit more dirty/aggressive strat but with a lot of tonal options for that (will likely be using a fractal fm3 sound wise). Still have my custom strat and tele but wanted something less $$ and...

Re: Strat wiring question

So. Forgot about this post.

What i was looking for was to have push pull pots to tap neck and bridge buckers as well as 3rd push pull to activate bridge pup at any time.

Almost there. Still needs a little setup.

Strat wiring question

Ok. So bought a 40th anniversary squier strat. I have a set of Seymour Duncan pickups. Mini JB, mini 59 and a duckbucker for the middle. Want to wire each tone pot as push pull to tap neck and bridge pickup and wire tone know to turn on bridge pup no matter selector position. Anyone know where I can...

Re: NGD: Gretsch 5655T

Beautiful guitar. Love the green/gold. I also love having the lower bout master volume. I find it much more functional than a lot of master volume knobs myself. Great score. I have been a bit Gretsch-curious as of late and had been looking at Electromatic Jets (Les Paul style) Gretsch guitars and ki...

Re: New Squier Paranormal Range

Nice. Been eyeing them. We do a few songs that a 12 string would fit well on but I hate carrying another large bodies acoustic around and 12 string acoustics are more temperamental in my experience than electrics.

Re: NGD Eastman AC622ce koa ltd

Yeah, if you'd described it to me in writing I would have said no thanks, but it looks good. Bet it looks even nicer in person. agreed. I honestly do not like the inlays that much. Would have preferred just some nice standard or slightly upgraded ones. That said, the guitar spoke to me a bit. Just ...

Re: NGD Eastman AC622ce koa ltd

Gorgeous indeed. I generally like my acoustics super plain looking, and think that blinged out ones look terrible. This is probably as much bling that you can put on whilst still looking great. That is funny because I am the same way. I am not a fan of designed inlays. I like understanded guitars i...
