    Boss Katana Mini!

    Well, I got a Boss Katana Mini for 107 euros (with the cash discount, local store). It looks like a toy and is so tiny and cute that you want to snuggle it and play "this little piggy" with its toes! It has two 4 inch speakers so technically it is a combo (more than loud enough for my small...

    Maybe dumb pickup placement question

    I need to replace a pickup on my Strat copy guitar with a single-coil sized humbucker (probably DiMarzio Super Distortion humbucker). The pickup is sold as "bridge position" but I never use bridge position pickups and intend to put it in the neck position. The pickups on my Strat copy sure look...

    What guitar features and construction would be best for an Oud-like timbre?

    Maybe doesn't belong here in luthiery, but I think guitar builders would be most likely to have good answers: My new band just got a new lead guitarist (I just play rhythm); he brought his Turkish Oud yesterday (fretless, so no problem with playing my very alternative medieval Persian tuning...

    BC Rich pickups?

    For some reason which no one can figure out, I've been totally jonesing for a candy-apple red BC Rich Warlock. WTF? Maybe it's a midlife crisis or something, but there it is, willy-nilly! Anyway, being cash-poor in a cash poor place, any guitar is a very big and serious investment for...

    Is Orange Goblin a real band?

    So, is Orange Goblin a real band, like, grew up together smoking pot and listening to Sabbath and drinking beer and working on motorcycles together kind of real, or is it a cynical ploy "brainchild" of some middle-aged "producer" guy in a suit, to hire some dudes and hit exactly all the right...

    Anyone familiar with Kitty Hawk amps?

    Friend of mine who was a rock star guitarist in the former Yugoslavia thinks Kitty Hawk is the bee's knees. It's a German company, supposed to be very much like Mesa Boogie and Dunlop. Anyone have any experience with these? I've always been crazy about Mesa Boogie but they're way way out of my...

    That whole "vintage" thing...

    It's kind of odd and funny that music gear, for example electric guitar pickups, is so obsessed with "vintage" sound. All the ad copy is like, "authentic early 1960s sound" and stuff like that This is pretty pathetic, if you ask me, and shows no genuine rock and roll teen spirit at all. I'm...

    Most "woody" sounding pickups?

    Looking for the most "woody" sounding pickups for guitars and basses. If you don't know what I mean by that, I'd say there is tons of "wood" in the sound of Dominique LaPointe's bass sound, and you should check out his awesome bass play-through video on YouTube anyway, even if just to have your...

    Most Heavy Metal Guitar Body Finish Ever

    If you go into a very old farmhouse in the region I live in (southeastern Europe, down just below the southern border of Austria), you'll sometimes find the interior softwood beams and posts stained black. This looks great, and very heavy metal, and is done with animal blood, which has got to...

    trying to remember name of rare vintage gibson

    Hi guys and gals and Gungans and you who identify as Apache Attack helicopters! Can't remember the name of a rare vintage gibson model (I blame the vegetarian cigarettes for this), maybe someone can help? It was quite "moderne" and sort of like an angled teardrop, kinda in the direction of a...

    Kids these days!

    Kids these days! Well, "kids these days" includes my generation of 1980's dark-music teens, which includes me, so I'm having a laugh at myself as well and not mocking anyone. First time I ever got naked with a teenage girl was to the soothing sounds of "Flowers of Romance" by PiL, lol, and I'm...
