Re: My handbuilt monster

Fuck that. I'm not pissing around for 30 minutes setting up a mic and camera so goobers online can give me shit. I got better things to waste my time on. Although the guy who built the amp did do something on this about 5 years ago, but he's into that sorta thing... Well, used to be before goobers ...

Re: Guitar prices: what's the sweet spot?

As someone who works in a marketing-related field...answering that question is a bit like trying to get flour back out of your gravy. 'Value' is both cumulative and fluid; there's no way to separate it back into its constituent parts. There's no point at which quality and marketing are separate, IM...

Re: Converting Tokai strat to master vol/tone?

Re: Converting Tokai strat to master vol/tone?

Re: Show us your whole setup....
