  1. I really love the way Les Pauls look too, but I find myself going for Strats/Teles more because the cleans just sound so beautiful with single coil pickups. I still wouldn't mind a kick ass Les Paul Custom in wine red though . wouldn't mind the new Sammy Hagar LP if they'd remove that ugly peace sign in the headstock. It's a beaut except for that.
  2. Yeah they are great sounding and playing guitars. The higher end Epi LPs are also very good since they've upped QC
  3. again, just add a tubescreamer like a Bad Monkey or CM-2 with the Rat and it should get you there no problem...
  4. that's an eerie pic...makes you wonder who started the fire...
  5. i steal {censored} all the time and nothing is more fun that swiping guitars when no one is looking. i don't care if it's in a shop or on a stage...i want it and its mine. I hope you're kidding or
  6. This guy dropped his gutiar off to me fOREVER ago to get a new neck put on it, which i bought and did, his phone number doesnt work and he hasnt contacted me, been about 8 months now, its under my bed in a case. i guess i feel like i stole it, even though i didnt. He's probably in jail...
  7. nope, lookin for the better amp that handles pedals. Both handle pedals well but I think the Twin has the slight edge for me in that regard.
  8. that's a hard call. I have experience with both too. For really pristine cleans, the Fender Twin for me but if you want that jangly overdriven type of clean that the Vox delivers that works too. Both definitely have their strengths. It's a personal decision you'll have to make and it really depends on the type of music or artists you're trying trying to emulate. If you're going to be using a lot of overdrive I'd go with the VOX but if you're going to be playing clean a lot I'd go with a Fender. That's just my opinion and I'm sure someone will come in here and say the complete opposite later. It really just depends on your experience and ears. Both are great amps. Before I forget, you need to take the type of guitars and pickups that you use into consideration as well.
  9. could be the knives / blades and posts are worn too. That's what I hate about staying in tune and trem units. All parts of the machine have to function correctly to stay in tune. I bought an Original Floyd Rose from the factory and that seems to have solved my tuning issues for the time-being.
  10. Twins are very nice for cleans. Hard to beat, especially '65 Blackface Twin....
  11. one guy summed it up pretty well awhile back... MIM Fenders - made by Mexicans in Mexico MIA Fenders - made by Mexicans in the U.S. All I can say is several years ago I pulled out both MIA and MIM Fender Strats and played at least 10 maybe more and chose an MIM. I didn't look at the back of the necks where the Made in USA / Mexico stamp before I played them (money was not an object). I just went by tone, feel, craftsmanship, etc... and ended up with an MIM Custom Shop 60's Classic and it's been a great guitar...
  12. Now tell me that those "outlaws" would have been able to purchase a weapon on the black market. easy. No need for a 'black" market, just a flea market. The FBI has undercover agents that go around to many of the larger ones around the country and they catch lots of guys selling guns without proper paperwork. Felons can get them easy. They just pay the money, pocket the pistol, and walk off. No paperwork at all; just cash and pistols being exchanged. That's not TV that's real life. I think you forget that criminals don't play by the same rules as regular society.
  13. well I canz help out too. I got some skillz and resources. If anyone knows anything about the guy other than he alleges he's from St. Louis, MO and has a name or partial name, address, or anything pm me with it. You'd be surprised what I can dig up sometimes...
  14. Sure, but how long does it take you to work out which switch? :poke: It just say's "1/2" on it. It does up to 6 delays at the same time. Very interesting pedal...
