    Looking for an octave pedal

    Welcome to the forum. Perhaps @Wound_Up might know. He seems to be the pedal aficionado these days.

    The Final Black Sabbath Show

    They need to pull off one last, perfect performance before they run out of time. They need to go out with a bang on top. Let the public have something good and special to remember them by. Ozzy needs to do this while he can still take the stage under his own power. Neil Diamond has...

    My Night with Night Ranger

    Well, where do I start? I have been a Night Ranger fan since their first album came out. I was also a fan of Brad Gillis since his stint with Ozzy and the Speak of the Devil album. I always liked the versions of the Sabbath songs on Speak of the Devil better than the Black Sabbath originals...

    2025 seems to be/get a good Gear-Year for me.....

    I wont be getting anything new gear wise until summer. Right now a I’m so broke, I can’t even pay attention.

    Anyone try one of these?

    Yeah. Pretty good. A little overpriced IMO.

    Sigma Guitars

    @PeteR I just spec’s one out. A hair under 2K US. Are these made in Japan? If yes, I’m in.

    Sigma Guitars

    They were the poor man’s Martin. A friend had one when I was in high school. It was really nice.

    New Fender Guitars for 2025 - NAMM

    My buddy Victor, aka @Strummer , got a Squier CV 50’s Tele over the summer. I had it for awhile and did a set up on it and polished the frets. The nut was too high, which is better than the slots being too low. I straightened the neck with my notched straight edge and checked the frets. Not...

    The end of an era ...

    It’s funny, but my Origin was made in Vietnamese IIRC. Hopefully they will still make the good stuff in England.

    Not so Happy NGD - Gibson Les Paul Studio Session

    I’ve purged most of my guitars in 2024. I got rid of everything that wasn’t getting played. And most of those guitars were MIC guitars. I have two US made guitars and one MIM guitar. The rest are MIC and MIJ. I sold two vintage MIJ guitars because they were too fragile to play. If I would...

    The end of an era ...

    I have an Original 50 head with two 4x12 cabs. It’s what I call the poor man’s Plexi. It can run at 5,25, and 50 watts. No standby switch. With an MXR Distortion+ and a slight boost in front of he amp you get that Randy Rhoad’s tone from the first Ozzie album. Straight in to the amp and...

    New Celestion Peacekeeper Speaker

    Oh yeah, it’s a great gun for sure, I was just stating that it’s a Python and I am poor👍. It’s a great gun for sure. I take it with me in the woods with heavy, hard cast, full magnum rounds, and I can use .38 specials or lighter .357 magnum loads for carry in town and home defense.

    New Celestion Peacekeeper Speaker

    I went and read that article. Those were matte finished. They were the “Poor man’s Python”. I was fortunate enough to be presented a 2 1/2 inch barreled, stainless Python by my son as a late a birthday present last summer. I wouldn’t have been able to afford it myself. I guess that makes...

    New Celestion Peacekeeper Speaker

    The original Colt Peacemaker. As carried by Patton in WWII. Looks like we both were right.

    Ernie Ball Cobalt Strings

    I’ve been using them for years. They really tighten up the bass when playing through high gain. Just don’t get crazy with a powered peg winder and over tighten them accidentally. The wound strings are quite brittle, and can snap easily at the peg head when winding them up. The plain steels...

    New Fender Guitars for 2025 - NAMM

    I just checked Zzounds and the tuners and bridge on the Tele seem to be that used on the Player Tele. It looks like they are splitting the difference between the Squier CV 50’s and the player as far as hardware. The neck finish and frets are different. Med jumbo on the standard and narrow...
