A guy told me that you have a better chance of being hit by lightning than of winning the lottery. I told him that I've been hit three times. "Oh! You should definitely buy a ticket then," he said.

Wow Derek, I got shocked by amps before and was thrown for a loop. I can`t imagine lightning.

I got 3 of the numbers. I don`t know if that is good for anything. I still have a rotted floorboard and no tailgate.

I would have the rotted floorboard on my 1992 f-150 fixed and buy a tailgate for it too.

Re: Classical Guitar Player Migration to Electric (8 replies, posted in Electric)
I`ll say it once and I`ll say it a bunch of times. Go to a music store and try them out until something floats your boat. The old japanese electrics or danelectro`s have some pretty thick necks on them. They also look great too. You may have to work on the pickups a bit,It`s hit or miss with those.

Remember the Ronco commercials.Veg o matic, Trimcomb or pocket fisherman.How about K Tel records."The hits of 1973" , all sung by the same group. I still cringe thinking about my mother cutting my hair with the trimcomb (painful). Makes me happy to be bald now

Somehow today I managed to get some time to myself.Long story short.I forgot how good it is to just sit by myself in my music room with an acoustic guitar,no bass,singer or lead and drummer.Just me.I havent done it in a long time.I love being in a band but I also love being alone with my yamaha playing by myself.

Carlos Robellis are hit and miss, I've noticed. Mine is a dream to play. Great tone, looks great, feels great, but if I go to the music store, I can pick up 2 CR's of the exact same model, and one plays great, and the other is complete garbage. Sounds like their Quality Assurance team needs to pay more attention.
For me, it was my Epi SG. Still have it, but I'm getting ready to sell it for WAY less than I paid for it. Bland tone, neck is *sticky* even after oiling to neck. Pickups get muddy fast, and the electronics are BEYOND sub par. Thinking I might trade it in for credit on an Epi Explorer I've been test playing for the last few weeks.
My daughter.(the trout). Had a Carly acoustic guitar. It was Carlo Robelli`s girls model of their regular guitars.It was bright pink, full size. Bought at Wal Mart for 120.00. She wanted a pink guitar. She really wanted a Daisy Rock metalflake rock candy.They were expensive at the time so I thought the pink carly would shut her up.Guess what,it didn`t. The carly was actually a great guitar.great action,didn`t sound bad,played like a dream. If it wasn`t for the color,I may have kept it as a beater.It is still around. She gave it to a friend of hers who is taking lessons now. If carlo robelli`s are hit or miss.We must got the good one of the bunch. A few month`s later I got her the daisy rock she wanted(used) for her 10th birthday.She still has it.

I just checked that out! Man the mini stack is the schiznizzel. Where was that stuff when I was 16????? The combo is kick butt also,,,,,, I will say that the Bugera was only around 140 when I got it. It was brand new on a special deal. Its now 190 and only has a 8 in speaker. OH but the 8 incher can get it going!
I need to get an external cab for it, a 12 would open it up even more. Iwas thinking of wireing it inline to my GMX112. It has the speaker out jack but they warn only to use audio cable and not a guitar cable. Any thoughts on this? (sorry sorta hijacked thread.)

Blackstar were only set up a few years ago by some ex Marshall guys. I've got the HT5R and I have to say their stuff is really creating a buzz over here, from the tiny HT1, which is amazing, to the Artisan range their stuff is just awesome.

William Shakespeare probably summed it up best when it comes to amps. When he wrote the immortal words, "TUBEY OR NOT TUBEY".

Re: Accoustic Amp interference question (34 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
try a different cord and not having the power cord stretched out all the way.Long wires can act as antenna`s. I used to get WLS in Chicago on an old Kustom head I had.And if I put it in a different room I picked up BBC.Sad to say,nothing worked for me and I always had trouble with that amp in my house.Anywhere else it worked fine.Also try using it in a different room.Hope that helps. Keep one thing in mind. If its a faith based radio station. Maybe it`s God`s way of telling you something!!!

i would recommend staying away from modeling amps if you can. The reason? I have a Fender Mustang my wife bought me for Xmas. I asked for an Acoustic Brand 30 watt and a multi-effects pedal or a Wah.
I use my Mustang but I should have returned it. I feel that it does not make a "true" sound. It supposedly models 8 amps with many, many effects that you can use. The problem is there is no way to find a clean amp model. All of the settings seem to have one or more effects along with the model or setting you choose.
I would rather have a regular two channel amp, a wah or multi-effects with a wah, and fiddle with the treble, bass, and gain to produce my sounds.
That is true about modeling amps. When I get the urge to try a new effect, I can use the modeling amp to see if it is necessary.It seems to make every sound EXCEPT a guitar plugged into an amp.No matter what I do,there is always an echo when I stop playing

Re: New Amp (12 replies, posted in Electric)
Beamer is right. Try it first. I have a peavey vyper.It is great to test effects before I buy.It really doesnt get regular use. My daughter (the trout) has a line 6 spider 15 and she loves it. Line 6 has a website with different settings you can use. Think toyourself. do I really need all the bells and whistles? Will it collect dust in the long run? Out of all my amps, I always end up using my Gibson Falcon I have had forever.
