    Flatwound player looking for natural, low gain grit/bloom.... Blackberry?

    Tackleberry Class A JFET preamp by weehbo guitar effects is one I’d particularly recommend for OP based on my use for similar reasons. Money and the miles are all that matters and your mileage may vary but if anything here is perhaps one more option or something to look into.

    Why Are 70s Fenders So Pricy Now

    Same reason jerks try and keep the boutique pedal aftermarket floating. when I drop all my boutique pedals on the market for less than selling prices I’ll happily watch others stew knowing I’m cutting their flip bucks basically you’re watching grifters seek to use whatever they can to fleece...

    Need Help with new Squier Sonic Bronco

    Own one of these. I’m certain they’ve used the same hardware (tuners/bridge) from the Mini P now that I own one of the Sonic Broncos. As most have told, your strings will be fine. Sadly people lie. Many are techs. I’ve had them lie to me because they didn’t understand thomastik Infeld...

    Highly Modified Does Not Equate To Higher Prices

    Few things are as obnoxious as anyone talking “values” of Squiers. They are budget new. Definitely budget used. Why act cocky because one is stock and one is upgraded as if putting Hipshots on a Squier bass is like tossing random parts on a classic car with otherwise all matching numbers...

    No longer available Ampeg SVT 8x10. $329! Make an offer

    If this was near me, I’d be there already to grab it. Does what it says on the tin, looks fine enough and perfect price given speaker replacement etc. GLWTS. I’ve added nothing of value.

    Let's spread some musical misinformation

    The best way to wind boutique custom bass pickups is by using the feet. My luthier has gnarled feet but I swear it’s just the effects of that tone and all or something like that. My view on his gnarled feet is my opinion but the first statement is a musical FACT. My second related fact I’ll...

    I’ve got one of these cabs with a Legend BP102 in it and the matching 260 II micro head. Fun piece for sure. GLWTS. Edit: not using this as a sale but I have a matching one cab and head so if you OP decide to keep this and want the head I’d be glad to talk to you. If there is any issue...

    Let's spread some musical misinformation

    Don Henley is the ghostwriter behind “WAP” with an assist from Bernie Leadon (uncredited) because it was Bernie who indeed was all about some “WAP” on early tours and coined the very term years ago.

    Let's spread some musical misinformation

    Ampeg is coming out with a 810 combo and it is set to debut at NAMM 2022. I just talked to someone who knows someone who has watched a Dino Monoxelos video and he overheard Dino talking about this by playing the video backwards. Ampeg is doing some Ovaltine in A Christmas Story style...

    GK 115MBX Cab Photos

    Hopefully I’m not going to be smacked for bringing up a ghost but I figure it could be applicable here rather than making a new thread. OP if you’re still around, be glad to hear your take and anyone else obviously would be welcomed. Curious if this cab is indeed of a quality enough to merit...
