    Out of curiosity i ordered these strings. Having tried quite a few of roundwound strings, from all the major string manuf, these superalloy strings have unique voice. The surface is similar to most other rounds, but their tone is magnificent. My favourite before these were Sunbeams. Flexible...

    Tapewounds

    I have now experienced the tapewound style of strings for the first time. Bought Fender 9120 and put them on my Jazz. No fingernoise but a class brighter than flats. Great for blues, classic rock for example.

    Fender Bassman 135

    Hello, just wanted opinions from TB members about the Bassman tube amp. I bought it used in 1997, and i ´m not sure what year its made. Probably the 70´s. Is the Bassman series legendary or easily forgetable?

    New pickguard day

    The original pickguard was white on this JB. The new black one looks much nicer to my eyes. The holes dont match 100 % and also not an access to the truss rod. But, that can modified with drills.

    Ernie Ball Slinky Cobalt 2734 Review

    As the quest for ideal string for my JB goes on, i bought a set of cobalt slinkys. I haven´t bought a set from EB for many years (10+).
