These guys with their pinup logo are probably LESS creepy to me than a company that says "hey, women also have money, let's come up with psychologically compelling marketing strategies to make them want to give it to us" and then spouts a bunch of PR rhetoric about fairness and equality. I'll...

The only reason to buy that guitar at anywhere near that price would be if you were in love with the way it played and sounded. As an investment, resale is probably a non-issue. If you already had the tools, experience, and materials needed to repair the finish (or properly relic it), you...

Basically it boils down to whether you think this is discouraging women. And let's face it, this is such a niche product that it's far more likely that any outrage generated over it will be the only way that most female guitar players ever even know that it exists. To me, it doesn't look like...

I feel very strongly that the BKP logo presents an unrealistic and objectifying image that could potentially traumatize sensitive young males.

A song is finished when you're sick of it. Then you give it to the band and play the crap out it until you're so sick of it that you don't want to ever hear it again. Then the audience starts to like it. And then you get famous for that song, it's the only thing anybody wants to hear, and you...

Probably a silly question but... does it take less and less retuning over time ? Even with only dropping my 6th string a whole step, I had to keep adjusting the tuning every so often until the tension balance settled in, over maybe an hour or two. With new strings it probably would have taken...

Some of it is expectations, definitely. If you could manage to cram a handful of Kemper profiles into a $400 box, everybody else would be out of business. I knew going in that the THR10x wasn't going to be like that. But man, the difference between my first impressions and now is like night and...

When I first got the THR10x it was awesome. Everything I played sounded great with very little tweaking. I couldn't wait to get back to it. I considered selling everything else (except my big amp). Now literally NOTHING sounds right. It's almost impossible to get decent palm muting without...

I picked up a Yamaha RBX170 new for under $200 about 15 years ago and it's still doing the job. You could probably find a used one now for $100 or less. I've recorded countless tracks with this bass. Good neck, good action, decent tuners and bridge. Solid as a rock and flexible sound with the...

Randall Diavlo amps (Fortin) have naturally tight bass, especially with built-in boost switched on. Just balance the preamp gain and master volume carefully or the power amp tube sag will start to loosen your lows at higher volumes.

All outstanding. I'm really liking the looks of the Agile. That as a multiscale could easily be my next guitar...

There's a little bit about those pots at the very bottom of the page, that's what made me think about it.

Maybe this will help? https://www.fralinpickups.com/2017/03/29/push-pull-pots-mods/

I had the police called on me just once, years ago before I moved from apartments to owning a house. The cops were cool about it, and the officer even cracked a smile when we had to stop talking for a moment because someone rolled by with a huge subwoofer blasting from his car. I was itching to...

Foxbats came REALLY quick. Now if they sound half as good as they look...

I'm willing to bet nobody here (vegetarian or anti-vegetarian lol) has any conception of just how much animal blood is wasted on a daily basis. We're talking tanker trucks full of the stuff. If any of it can be put to use instead of just being flushed, I say go for it. Specifically, on a...

If it wasn't for the JS22-7, I probably wouldn't be here today (this forum, I mean. It didn't save my life or anything). That cheap little factory-made POS is one of my favorite guitars. I've paid 5x as much for other guitars (even including the pickup swap, which is all it really needed) and...

Awesome in every way. I know the pickups are the first thing that people replace, but it doesn't sound like the Cepheus are holding you back one bit!

Hard to beat the nylon Jazz III... it's perfectly hard, sharp and red. Single best piece of equipment I ever bought; my playing instantly became more precise and powerful, and it's easy to find when I drop it. I also use the lighter gray nylon Dunlop for strumming. It's like switching from...
