    Plekking

    You have to be skilled to use one. Just like any CNC machine. Any old fool can't just walk up, put their guitar in, and get a great fret job. In reality, 99% of people wouldn't get a functional fret job from one without training and acquiring the proper skills to operate one. A Plek tech can...

    Here's the current #1, on the left. Monoprice Stage Right 15w 1x12 combo aka the Laney Cub 12R with a spring reverb. Pulled the chassis last night. Replaced power tubes. Rebiased. I made a thread about it all. Yes it's full of surface mount parts. No I don't care. It sounds good. That's all...

    Monoprice/Stage Right 15w combo chassis removal

    I pulled the chassis from my amp last night. Finally got around to doing it and it was extremely simple. 6 screws and it slides out the back. Once I got it out, I decided to compare my pcb's to those in the Laney Cub 12R firsthand so I know for sure whether they're the same. Facts are facts and...

    It's crazy how much better all of my pedals sound through this. On the Monoprice 15w combo, all of my OD's get me the same tone. On this? They all sound different! Finally! That's why I have so many. I'd buy one and it would sound just like the other 7. So I'd buy something else. And it...

    Thin neck or baseball bat neck?

    I prefer bigger necks. The guitars I play most all have pretty decent necks. Between 24 & 25mm at the 12th fret.

    Hi to all from Ukraine!

    Weird. I've never had an issue with strings at Amazon and I buy 99% of mine there. But I don't buy from whoever has the lowest price. I buy from legit stores that have brick & mortar stores or can be traced online and are proven to be actual, real stores and not just some individual buying 1000...

    What guitars do you have enough of?

    At this point, I'm good on guitars so I guess I have enough of all guitars lol. There's nothing else I particularly want except an SG and that's not anything I want or need right now. At this point, I'm more worried about pickups in the guitars I have. I bought a SD Antiquity neck pickup...

    So this is a full self-sufficient forum, independent of ED? Nice.

    How about moderators & admins that don't admin or moderate at any other forum run by E D?

    Advice buying a vintage fender (Amp reverb or pedal reverb?)

    Boy that would've been swell. I'd have loved a Deluxe Reverb. I ended up getting the Hot Rod Deluxe, though. The reverb on it drips. It's not as lush as the old vintage amps but it at least sounds better than the reverb on my Monoprice amp.

    Advice buying a vintage fender (Amp reverb or pedal reverb?)

    There are other companies making stuff like this. Anasounds makes a real spring reverb pedal. Anasounds Element Spring Reverb 2019 - Natural Wood https://reverb.com/item/83104964?utm_source=android-app&utm_medium=android-share&utm_campaign=listing&utm_content=83104964

    Pretty good tone for the cheapest tube amp around.

    I was thinking about picking up another one when/if mine ever went out but I moved on to bigger and better things lol. I can't wait to get my new Hot Rod Deluxe back in 6 weeks so I can stretch it's legs and see what it can do.

    Pretty good tone for the cheapest tube amp around.

    That's the Monoprice Stage Right 15w combo. I've had the 2nd gen model for over 3 years and they're incredible amps. Never had a single problem from mine. They're actually made pretty well. Tubes sockets aren't connected to a PCB board. Neither are the pots and jacks, IIRC. So those things are...

    How are those? I looked at them while looking for a new amp but wasn't real sure about them since you don't see many of them. I considered the Origin series Marshalls when I was looking, as well. Not sure I was real serious about it since my current amp is Marshall-based and I really wanted...

    2024 Fender Hot Rod Deluxe IV Just got here about 30-45 mins ago. I tested it to make sure nothing was wrong with it and then it gets put up until my bday in 6 weeks. *I slid the included amp cover on it and put it in the hall closet. The cardboard box is in the attic lol. No, I'm not going to...

    Rory Gallagher’s Strat Up For Auction

    I thought the Colts guys regularly let people see his guitars and even play them? He let Kenny Wayne play somebody's Strat not long ago and people went INSANE. Why? Because Kenny played it like any other Strat and was banging away on it, strumming wildly like he always does. It's how his Strats...

    Electric Guitar String Brands

    I use whatever I'm feeling at the moment. Could be D'addario, EB Slinkys, DR Blues, or something else I can't think of atm. I usually stick with standard strings most of the time. Every so often I'll buy full nickels or half rounds. Or I'll use the DR Blues with round cores. I use anything...
