Was fooling around w/a friends Grind 5 this morning, thinking about taking to a gig tonight. Put it against my Warwick gamer and the difference in output was stunning. Amp at the same setting, both guitars dimed. I downloaded a decibel meter app and they both read 90. No way. Are the Grind...

Gang, Just finished a practice due to ungodly, but not constant, speaker buzz. I’m thinking loose wire/connection. Are these pretty simple to take apart & diagnose? Tks

Gang, my Ampeg PF-500 did that board thing; would like something in class D that will hang with the tube monsters I’m playing with, but have the features the PF did. Line in/phones for practice. Not married to the Ampeg tone; the Marks don’t seem to have the practice features, nor do the Peavey...

Ampeg brothers: During our last practice, my PF500 started to get that about to fry smell ,and started to cut out. I’m running with a GK NEO 410 cab, volume & gain each about 1:00 to be heard among the guitars. Fan was running and after a little time out, it seemed ok. I can’t imagine one...

Gang, I'm looking for a 5 string to round out the collection. Not going crazy with it, in fact more on the 'economical' side. I'm looking at a Squier VI (white one with block inlay maple fretboard), a MM Sub 5, or a Peavey Grind 5. I'd like your thoughts on them. Tks, S33

Gang, I have a home-built 18" cab that's served me faithfully for 20 + years. I recently picked up a GK MB200 to gig the smaller places, and when it get the amp close to 3/4 max on the volume, I get a horrific buzz/vibration from the speaker on certain mid range notes, mainly the A string. I...

Gents, I have an mid-80's GK 200RCB that may have breathed it's last @ practice last night. It was super hot, (it gets pushed pretty hard) and I heard a little pop, then it was reduced to about 1/2 the output, and slight cracking sounds were heard. Should I investigate trying to repair it...

TB'ers, This may be a goofy question, and I'm not really sure how to phrase it, but I'd like to ask the more seasoned folk how or if they know there was a point they knew they were a bassist. The best ones never stop working and learning; I realize that, and session guys, in my view, are...

Guys, Just got back home from an NYE "gig". Supposed to be one of the biggest paydays of the year, right? The band shouted from the rooftops on the social media sites, etc., even raffling off a Vegas trip to some lucky patron. This venue was one the band has played before, pretty well...

TB'ers, I'm hoping you can enlighten me here before I think I'm heading into Idiotsville. I've just spent the last two hours going over tunes in our bands setlist, and I discover I play better on my Peavey T20 than I do my Rick 4001. I feel more fluid, more ideas hit me, just smoother...

Gang, I've just hooked up with a band that has a song they wrote with a simple, dirge-like bluesy B,A,G,F# whole note progression. Think tempo a bit slower than "Guitar Gently Weeps", but kind of the same vibe. My instincts tell me simple, let the guitar do his Robin Trower thing, but I...
