    New Hartke TX7500 Head Released

    Exactly. In fact, I'm surprised they haven't already gone the way of the dinosaur at least for amps.

    New Hartke TX7500 Head Released

    Anyone who shops for anything nowadays I don't care what it is. They go on the internet and they search it and what do they look at? They look at the specs. Then if it looks like the specs fit what they might need they will go to a local retailer and check one out or order one online from a...

    New Hartke TX7500 Head Released

    Whether or not a player is going to use his amp for silent practice at home with headphones and feeding his MP3 player or phone into the amp while he's playing along isn't really the main issue. It's a matter of perception . If you look at it subjectively I would venture to guess that over 90%...

    New Hartke TX7500 Head Released

    No aux in or headphone out? Those are two things that almost the cheapest combo amps have nowadays. What is/was Hartke thinking? Also, The graphic EQ sliders remind me of those cheap bass amps that GC under the acoustic brand name. I'm also very surprised to only see bass and treble tone...

    Stage Volume

    Being a baby boomer and guitar and bass since 1966 I came up through the era when every band who had a sheer vocal master PA thought they had a killer PA. Which it was if all you did was put vocals through it Then we graduated up to JBL 4560 cabinets with radial horns and wedge monitors but PA's...

    I took the plunge Genz Benz GBE 1200

    No sadly I sold it. I got to the point where I just couldn't haul anything like that around anymore. Like many other players I made the move to class D heads and lightweight cabinets. It was a pretty sad day when Genz Benz finally closed their doors.

    NPD - SD SPB-1

    The SPB-1 has been the to go to upgrade for any bass since it was first released in 1978. That was 48 years ago and it still sells well today. The closest tone to an original Fender Precision bass and IMO better made than what Fender makes now. Seymour Duncan has probably seen the inside of...

    GK Neo IV cabs

    I ordered a base once from guitar Center and when it arrived the neck was pretty bowed so I loosened the truss rod nut and slowly started to clamp it and straighten it out. Once I got it straightened out I was going to snug up the nut and restring it. Which I did just fine and then I looked and...

    THE ULTIMATE CAT THREAD

    And since they are cats the inferior creatures will definitely be the humans in the house. They really love us especially because we pet them and feed them but they can't ever let us know that or they would lose control. Because you know, CATS!

    THE ULTIMATE CAT THREAD

    When I was a teenager my mom had a pure white cat semi long fur but not like a ragdoll or anything but she had a decorative thing in her house that looked like a giant wine glass with a stem on it. The glass was big enough for the cat to jump up in there and curl up. And it was kind of cute when...

    Amp Guts Photos - Official Thread - Lets see those pics

    My showman is the later model silverface a 74 I believe I haven't had it open for a while but it has the master volume and the push pull switch on it. In fact with the exception of a new set of tubes that I put in it it is absolutely 100% untouched inside and it was working great I just wanted...
