Re: Guitar valuations from an out of touch player

Welcome! That's an interesting bridge on the Strat, what is it? Great opportunity go get your Bonnie Raitt on. As for prices, check Trademe and Reverb for a general indication but remember they're asking, not selling prices. To be honest, replies from us might be opportunistic (though not all). But...

Re: UAFX Lion Safari!

Excellent outcome, I didn't know they were stereo, thats a bit of a game changer!! Yes, all the full size UAFX pedals have stereo in/out. I think the Lion pedal outs are more intended for mono to stereo pass-through to stereo pedals like the Astra and Starlight. Or to send to an amp plus front of h...

Re: UAFX Lion Safari!

Thought I'd update the safari. I'd been looking for a way to have an ideal home practice set-up based around the Lion Pedal and, a relatively light rehearsal rig. The biggest thing was to have something that when I plugged into my actual amp, I'd be close enough in tone and response not to be bother...

Re: 6g14A Showman Build

The fact is a 6g14a is pretty much not going to turn up Here and they are pricey in the states plus shipping , risk and transformer fuckery then all the trappings of a 60yr old amp. Truth! A dear old friend of mine owns a 63 showman. But he’s likely to be buried with it! I did a deal/favor for him ...

Re: Anyone Rocking Vintage Blackface?

I’m sure I’ve mentioned before, in the early ‘80s I used to run. ‘65 BF Twin Reverb…. Because it was the only one I could afford! :lol: Beautiful amp. Early ‘70s Strat into MXR distortion+ and weirdly enough, an MXR Pitch Transposer used mostly as the most expensive rack mount chorus ever! Unbelieva...

Re: lower output p90

Turn the volume down on the guitar and treble up on the amp. That is how P90's should be. That's what I do for years. Could never quite understand the treble bleed mod that everyone was going on about back in the previous decade. I generally set all vol and tone to 5, then adjust the amp to suit. T...

To be fair though, its easier to ignore a painting if you don’t like it. :P :lol:

Re: Guitar food groups and must try guitar sounds

Worth a look at for something less common. I'm very partial to the Gibson Mini-Humbucker. Not the firebird mini HB but the original Epiphone derived model. Back in the day my bandmate had an LP Deluxe Goldtop which was lovely to play and had a great bright chimey sound compared to standard LPs. I ha...

Re: Best DAW for beginner

This cannot be overstated. There is a huge amount of community support for Reaper, so it's a great one for a noobie. That being said, Reaper users seem to be like Vegans or Cross-Fit trainers. Hard to get them to shut up about it.* *(Tongue planted firmly in cheek here) Bendy, is Reaper the DAW tha...
