    hey, how'd it go at practice ? I was really contemplting one of these. hope you like it. 

    It performed great. I left the footswitch at home so I couldn't switch channels in the middle of a song too easy, but that was my stupidity. It has simple controls which I like and you can use your volume on the guitar to control the tone a lot.  

    The Reverb is pretty subtle. If you like a super amount then you might want to use a pedal for that. It's fine for me.    

    After a real gig when I add some pedals and play a wide variety of styles I'll know more. But so far so good.

    sweet. I was looking at them awhile back.  let us know how she does at a gig.

    That will be the real test. [cool] I'm going to use it at practice tomorrow night then first gig with it on the 24th. I'll let you know.

  3. I was about to say that I only have 3 guitars and two of them are Les Pauls so there's not much to choose from. But then I remembered my recent PRS acquisition. PRS are known for their multiple tone options, but mine only has 2 humbuckers and a three way switch. No coil splitting or push/pull options. Other than the shape it's pretty much a Les Paul.

    So that leaves my Kokocaster. Basically a clone of Charvel Surfcaster. Has a  split humbucker at bridge and lipstick single coil at neck. And it's semi-hollow. I guess those features would make it more versatile than the others. 

    Having said that, I'm still most comfortable playing gigs with my Les Pauls. I think it's to do with their necks. 

  4. I've been contemplating selling my Carvin amp for over a year now. It's just too big and loud for what I need. And now that I bought the PRS amp, I really need to sell it. At 85 lbs, I really don't want to hassle shipping it, so that kinda leaves out eBay and Reverb.

    I put it on Craigslist, but all I get are scammy replies. One guy wants to give me cashiers check while his assistant handles the detail. Another says his mother wants the amp and can I email her to set it up. DELETE! 

     Anyone have other ideas? Thanks

  5. I took my Les Paul with the broken headstock into Ryan Fowler's to get an estimate on repair. Left the guitar there and walked out with a PRS amp. 50 watt Sonzera all-tube combo. Anyone want to buy a 100 watt Carvin Legacy? [cool]

    Now I have to get some playing in before Ravens game tonight.

  6. I was on my way out of work heading to my gig when I got a text from someone telling me the news. Very sad and shocking. Local classic rock stations are playing RUSH all night.

    Hard to believe he passed on Tuesday and we just heard about it today.

    RIP Neil

  7. Hello

    Other than a basic internet search, the only thing I could think of is maybe Reverb. 

    When I first saw this topic I thought it was a Rest In Peace Darkfire thread. I remember back when Gibson was putting out these "revolutionary" new guitars like Robot, Darkfire, Firebird X, Dusk Tiger..... can't think of ever knowing anyone who owned one. So what do you think of yours?

     

     

  8. Going to the Ravens game today. Final game of the regular season against arch rival Steelers. Supposed to be rainy, so my wife is already complaining and it's still hours away. 😩

    Should be fun though, since stadium will most likely have a lot of Steelers fans. It's always fun talking smack back and forth with them.  Of course work tomorrow might be a little rough.
