[guilttrip]

90's Epiphone Explorer - Gold hardware, Gibson pickups. I'm thinking of flipping it for a Univox Hi-Flier.

[passedout]

[cannonballs]

Rylar, can we start a band where you play all of these at once?

[passedout]

[maddens]

weird new 60s amp i got a few weeks ago.
really cool, very loud has 60s jensen special design 10in speakers in it. don't know too much else about it.
if anyone does let me know

[jakes]

Most recent purchase. 1981 MIJ Ibanez Blazer. Thick and warm like mother.

Also this guy -


Cool little fuzz/octave pedal. Got it for $15.

[the knife]

where does one buy the little wires inside cabs to wire speakers together? I've got a cab that I took the speakers out of and lost the wires before getting new ones.

[jakes]

Any speaker wire will work my man. Radioshack will have it. Get a thicker gauge, like 14.

Thanks, Jake. Where do I get the connector parts that you actually connect to the speaker? I am new to this stuff....

How much do you charge to setup up a guitar/bass? My local music shop is weird with that kinda stuff and only take stuff in on certain days.

Nevermind about the connector things. I didn't know what they were called, but I was thinking about disconnects.

[jakes]

They will either solder onto the speakers or have a thumb screw that clamps it in place.

PM me about guitar repair stuff.

thinking about getting a new toy, (probably pedal) with my paycheck, thoughts on neat stuff?
thinking about maybe a digitech whammy or MXR blue box but open to suggestions

yo dude, if you wanna get something kinda wild looking and affordable google rythmn and design, its this dude from texas who makes custom pedlas however you want them to look that from what i've seen sound real cool. if i needed a new pedal i'd defintely be picking them up from him.

[eric]

I just got a Line 6 DL4 and a Boss reverb pedal not too long ago. Both are fun to get atmospheric/ambient sounds.

Tom, the new guitar looks neat are you going to start using it with Black Kites or is your SG specifically set up for that?

The DL4 is awesome. The best part is the stereo delays when playing out of multiple amps. Looping is neat too. I usually try to be a minimalist when it comes to pedals, but that thing is too much fun.

I need to go to another Black Kites show. It's been too long.

i have an mxr blue box. it's really neat and pretty fun but it isn't exactly the most practical pedal. definitely try to use it before you buy it if possible.

[the knife]

I'm assuming everyone knows that Marshall MG Series amps are not the best, but since I'm getting a new cab this weekend, I'm gonna be selling my first halfstack soon. If you have a niece or nephew or something that wants a Marshall stack, then this would be a pretty cool gift. It's actually pretty loud and has an okay clean sound. If you use a good pedal with it, it doesn't sound too bad!

I'm asking for $350, but I'm willing to take anything.

Hey Tom, How much do you want for that High Flier? Do you have a picture of it? ---- August
