The Ineos Grenadier

I just picked up one of these. I’m about 1,200 miles in so far. I love it. We did some light four-wheeling yesterday. It was as solid as a Land Cruiser and as capable as a Jeep.

Ebay & Paypal Are Breaking Up

I sold a nice Telecaster on Ebay last night. I had switched to selling on Reverb but their fees went higher so, after a few months of absence, I went back to Ebay. After the guitar sold, Ebay said "ship it". But, there was no money in my Paypal account. I contacted buyer to see if they were...

New Guitar

I think the Steve Vai “Bad Horsie” video had an influence. I’d like to have a guitar that is a little more shred-specific. I once owned a nice USA Wolfgang It definitely inspired me to fine tune some VH licks but I just never bonded with the scale. I’d like to get something that is...

Is internet connection essential for recording?

I built a nice studio / rehearsal space above my shop. The internet connection is spotty at best - It’s too far from the house. I’ve hesitated to commit to putting my recording desk out there due to lack of internet. Whaddya think? Do I need to be connected to get things to work correctly...

Fender’s New Tone Master Deluxe and Twin Reverb

My curiosity is piqued. The Twin was always my go to amp before massive stage volume became an issue. The reviews are universally stellar. Has anyone played one or, better yet, done a head-to-head against the Fractal model?

Anyone else a McIntosh (Big Blue Meters] Geek?

We moved to a new home this summer. One of my requirements was an area where I could set up my hi-if stuff and have some fun. Hi-fi is a lot like playing guitar. I swap speakers, amps, turntables, cartridges, tonearms, replace crossovers, capacitors, etc., in search of the ultimate tone...

Electro- Harmonix C9 Organ Pedal

Just did my first rehearsal using the C9. We're doing a very basic, low volume, acoustic guitar, fretless bass and cajon / conga thing. I didn't announce that I had added the C9 to my pedalboard before we started playing. My band mates thought I had recorded an organ backing track. It's...

Where are the Bank Presets for Latest Firmware?

I'm on the original Axe FXII. I just installed FW 9.04 (from FW 19.00!!) and was going to install the latest bank presets but when I click the download tab it appears to contain FX8 presets. Is this a known issue? Where can I find the latest presets for AFii Mark 1? Thanks!

Graham Maby - Joe Jackson's bassist

I've been listening to recently acquired vinyl reissues of the "Look Sharp" and "I'm The Man" albums. They sound great, mainly because of the huge, extremely catchy bass lines. How come no one talks about Joe's bass player, Graham Maby, when they talk bass players? The guy's an absolute...

A Great Story

We played a show to approximately 550 people at a local (national distribution)brewery last week. We caught the crowd's attention early and kept it the whole show. Both the bass player and I use the Axe FX II and go DI to front of house. Our mix is easily managed and since our stage...

Tips for More Chime AC30TB FW15.03?

I loaded up FW 15.03 yesterday and while I like it much better than the overdriven version in 14.02, I'm having trouble finding that crisp, edge-of-break-up-chime that the AC30TB is known for. I can get the crisp. I can get the chime. I just can't seem to get them at the same time. Any...

Speaker Efficiency in IR's?

I upgraded from 10.0X to 12.03 on Thursday and have spent the last couple of days trying to redial my presets. My main amp was the AC30TB model but the new default preset for that amp clips the AFX output meter and clips the input of our rehearsal board (Allen & Heath GLD-80) unless I cut the...
