Remember, also, that a leaky or worn-out filter cap is capable of giving you a lethal shock. Even playing though an amp with bad filter caps will kill ya. Be careful.

Bar-none, my favorite solo album from a former "Fab"--truly spiritual and gorgeous. And what a massive sound (thanks Phil Spector). I play this album every day--perhaps more now that George has passed ...

Thanks all. Glad I don't have to shell out the $$$ for a new pedal (didn't think my Ernie BAll sounded bad anyway--my technique is another story). This debate sorta borders on the esoteric in a way: l ...

I was recently told that my tone would be significantly better if I replaced my current Ernie Ball volume pedal with a Goodrich or other type. He mentioned something about the impedance of the pot. Is ...

I just read that the late, great Mick Ronson used a Major throughout his career. Hamilton, I've never looked at the guts or chassis of a Major, but its appearance from outside reminds me of this giant ...

I've got a reissue Bluesbreaker sitting around. It sounds great with my steel. Essentially, it's a JTM-45 Marshall head with two greenback Celestions. Wondering if anyone has used one for steel. The d ...

Did Todd really say "Religiosity"? So did our incoming president, heh heh...
Will Gibson be offering a DAvid Koresh model? How about a Dalai Lama Flying V?
tune in to find out!

Bob, my dog is a nubile young bitch. Can I bring her? She likes to mark her spot on the phone booth next to Lakeside...

I can sleep happy now knowing that I'm okay wid the forumites. But I have a confession: I only mentioned a trendoid loft thing and wild women to get make Dave nuts.

First off, Bob Hoffnar owns the steel scene in New York City, and I run it for him. So beware, all ye New Yawk hatin' tumbleweeds.

In all seriousness, I would like to use this post to clarify some po ...

Personally, I'm fascinated by guitar and amp combinations. Ferinstance, my 1959 Les Paul Junior (mahogany w/ p-90 pickups) through a '72 50-watt Marshall is to-die-for Gibson/Marshall tone. And how ab ...
