    Zoom G5

    I'm currently looking on the market for a multi-effects and came across this the other night when browsing Thomann where it's priced €264. This looks ridiculously good value for a multi-effects with the kind of features on it. Tube preamp with a booster 60 second looper (30 seconds with the...

    How to make my RG look more radical?

    First Build 6 String

    First Build 6 String

    it actually looked 10 times worse than it was, just the chisel went pretty deep, it slipped and just shot straight into my finger :/ and it was one of the few times i hadn't followed the "both hands behind the blade" rule, just the angle was so damn awkward :L thanks mate, about to upload some...

    First Build 6 String

    i have to say the hardest part by far was the god awful job of the fretboard, i started out with a raw piece of rosewood, had to plane it, cut it to thickness, plane it again, mark the fret slots, cut them, make a 12 inch radiused sanding block, HAND SAND the board to the 12 inch diameter, then...

    Advice on buying a new amp and cab

    Thanks, i never really looked into Laney to be honest, what's their durability like?? I'd prefer to get info here than on a lot of review sites where i find a lot a reviews are either done by spoiled brats (who think their amp is the best thing since sliced) or are biased one way or the other.

    Advice on buying a new amp and cab

    And that's off the biggest online stores in Europe from Germany, you'd add on about €200-€400 to any amp in a shop that actually stocks them, most places have at most one maybe two high end amps. The rest tend to be Roland Cubes, 10-30w SS Marshal MG's and Line 6 Spyders (all once again...

    Advice on buying a new amp and cab

    It is my first tube head, the reason i really like that particular cab is that it's loaded with V30's and looks great value considering i've seen diezel cabs for three times as much loaded with the same speakers. i may take your advice and wait a while before dropping half the cash and just...
