    What guitars would you consider to be the absolute best value for any price range?

    My Agile 828 I got in 2018 was the best playing guitar I ever owned and it cost me $600. I feel like a fool for selling it and the buyer got it for basically a steal because of the Lundgren M8s i threw in there. It just played really nice. The dual truss rods were a trip on those. Man, I...

    Small bass head suggestion?

    Been playing guitar forever but, I’m totally new to bass gear. I’m looking to get a used bass head for less than $700. It has to have an effects loop because it will serve double duty as a poweramp for my pedal-based guitar rig when I’m not using it for bass. Looking for some growly distortion...

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    Finally bought a Squier Bass VI. Went with this one from CME: https://www.chicagomusicexchange.com/products/squier-classic-vibe-bass-vi-maple-neck-walnut-wblack-1484320 Plan is drop in the Panorama Trem as an upgrade along with a Staytrem bridge. I definitely want to change the pickups and...

    Which amp/preamp/pedal is your core high gain tone based on?

    A boosted TightMetal Pro into a good tube poweramp is the high gain tone I hear in my head. Aggressive, pummeling, crisp.

    Looking for suggestions for my bass vi

    All Ibanez has to do is make a 6 string version of the M80M (everything the same, just 6 strings instead of 8) All Fender/Squier has to do is put a humbucker in the bridge position of the Bass VI. There are now literally 3 or 4 companies doing bass VI ripoffs with a Humbucker in the bridge...

    Looking for suggestions for my bass vi

    Ah, I always forget the Impulse is an option. Been wanting to try that pickup for a few years now. If you already have that on hand I would throw that in. It was designed for baritones/lower tunings and has been pretty well received by other members here. That said, what don’t you like about...

    Looking for suggestions for my bass vi

    Definitely need to hear the back story on this because that sounds dope! Where did you get a 30” conversion neck for it? As for a good humbucker, the Black Winter and Lundgren M-series pickups stand out as the winners in my mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to throw either one in the bridge position...

    5150 Iconic 15watt opinions?

    Definitely want to stick in the Iconic family. I’ve looked into the history/design of it and love that James Brown had a hand it. The demos of it all sound great too. Also, might sound weird but, I actually like shared EQ between clean and dirty channels. Anyway, If I grab the 15 watter and...

    5150 Iconic 15watt opinions?

    I’m really tempted to grab the 15 watt Iconic combo and convert it to a head. I wanted to ask have any of you tried one and used an extension 212 or 412 cab? I know lower power will of course change the the character of the amp a bit but, I want to know if the voicing is different or if their...

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    I want NOTHING more from Ibanez but for them to make a 6 string version of this. They offer similar stuff but, I want that 29.4 scale, the lundgren, and that dope ass bridge!!

    What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

    I want Walrus to hurry up and drop a limited version of the 385 Mk-II. I’m only going to buy one so I want it to be a little special

    Questions for P-Rail owners

    You know what, I’ve been dying to try a Dimarzio so I think I’m just going to go with a Fortitude in the bridge and Their Fantom P-90 in the neck.

    Questions for P-Rail owners

    I’m considering getting a P-Rail and Triple Shot rings set for a baritone. Going to be tuning around Drop E and just want a ton of flexibility. My question is, how does the P-Rail do in basic humbucker mode? What does it compare to? Same question for the P-90 coil. Does it really sound like a...
