    Real Rickenbacker?

    Without the USA sticker on the pickguard, I'd have only paid $500 for it........

    Which Squier? Which Ampeg cabinet? I'm your Captain - Grand Funk

    They are ridiculously heavy. The amps are fantastic. The cabs are a bit of a weak link.

    A good deal on a Genz-Benz NEOX-212T

    I use the Neox 212T quite a bit and love it. Sounds phenomenal, pretty easy to load in and out, and gets plenty loud. You won"t be handicapped if you go that route.

    What's *your* favorite Peavey amp??

    bass bridge is too high??

    I saw a bridge once where the previous owner ground the bottom flat. It wasn't discovered until it was removed from the body. Looked like he either filed it down or put it on a flat belt grinder to take off some material. The bottom still had grinding marks on it and didn't have the...

    A new documentary thread

    I just saw 2 last weekend. "Jimi Hendrix Story" from 1973. This was made only a few years after his death. The perspective is still fresh at that time. Also, "David Bowie - 5 Years" Great insight into some of the Bowie magic during the 70's and early 80's.

    Blood everywhere...

    I had this happen one time. Hydrogen peroxide on a rag cleaned it up perfectly. Worked better than the Isopropyl I tried first.

    Input jack, jacked?

    Just had the same exact thing happen on an active P I have from the late 80's. Couldn't figure it out. Took it to a tech who replaced the jack and all is well.
