I'm primarily a bassist and 6 string player. It never ceases to amaze me how crazy people's price expectations are on here. Made in China dingwall basses are over $2k. Some made in Mexico fenders a ...

An entire army of people couldn't correct all the stupid and inane comments on YouTube that happen in a days time.

I HATE talking pickups because invariably there's the need to describe the sound of one and I can't/won't do it.

You can get a 25.5 scale length on a Excel steel so if you tune too D 13 instead of E 13
Could a person go too a 26 inch scale?

Excel has a 25.5 scale available.

If you are playing for your enjoyment, maybe try playing without finger picks and just a thumb pick and see if if you can grab three note major chord grips,1-3-5, 3-5-1 & 5-1-3, in whatever tuning ...

Love them white fretboards on a black instrument.

That's gorgeous.

I feel for people in his industry. I know my friends in healthcare are struggling. Not only from the care involved and near constant death but also the abuse from patients and family members.

Great stuff. Really enjoying this.

I asked the previous owner on this forum the year built. His answer was 2014. What is the serial number and the correct year built?

Previous owner said 9-15-14.

Beautiful amp. Not for nothing, but it is a vibrOsonic not a vibrAsonic. VibrO's are 1 15", VibrA's are 2 10". In the silverface era, at least.

They're all vibro. Vibrolux is a 2x10. Vi ...

Half the problem is that people have missed the paradigm shift in music. There is no mainstream. There are traditional country artists who are outselling Nashville backed acts. It's similar to netw ...
