Fender pick-ups
Hey everyone: I got a sweet Fender Classic Series 60's strat recently; love the guitar but not in love with the pick-ups. I am trying to recreate Mike's tone/sound. Has anyone tried the fender noiseless pickups or the Custom '69's? Trying to figure out what would be best. Thanks!!!

all female PJ cover band called.....
I got asked to be Edie Vetteir in a women's PJ cover band. The gal running it (drummer phenom ..recorded since she was just 7 and she's 42 now), tells me : We aren't Viganology. That's a different one. Okay, now I am definitely joining. What would YOU call an all woman-pj cover band? They already have a name ... (seattle's…

PEARL JAM TRIBUTE BANDS
What do you think of Pearl Jam Tribute bands? Have you heard any good ones? I heard that "Given to Fly" in Chicago is pretty decent. www.pearljamband.com, www.myspace.com/pearljamband. Definitely not as good as the real thing, but quenches my thirst while they aren't here!

Song and effect
I started really getting into guitar because of Nirvana and Pearl Jam (okay...the first time I ever wanted to play guitar was when I heard "Back Here Baby" by BBmak...and I still love that song). But PJ and Nirvana got me into guitar and effects. My question is which song(s) got you into different effects? It doesn't have…

Vox AC4tv
So earlier today I picked one of these up used for a 100 bucks. Damn am I not having fun with this little amp! Yea I know it's made in China so it has to sound cheap and can't have any quality to it... (Is what I'm sure half of you gear heads are thinking, US or UK made or nothing!). This thing is killer. The 1/4, 1, or 4…

First real gig in a few years
With the exception of playing for my church (and getting overshadowed/sent to play in the corner), I haven't played for people in a few years. Tonight, one of my fellow firefighters asked if I'd be willing to play a short acoustic set for a community 5K. I'd basically be playing for 45 minutes and it'd be just random…

I am putting out the book soon, but in order to do so i need your help. I am asking the fans to send me the photos they've taken that are of great quality and email them to me. i…

Gibson LPJ?
What's the difference with the LPJ and SGJ from other Gibsons? There's a massive price difference, I noticed that. I haven't plugged and played but I did hold one. I used a Gibson Les Paul Mahogany, in 2006, and it lasted 2 songs before I switched back to my strat (I'm a small guy that's 110 pound soaking wet so the weight…

Can someone recommend a good turntable?
So I have a basic sony turntable, nothing special. I've been listening to it for years, and its just ok. I wanted to get something a bit more mid-level, maybe in the $100-$250 range. Any suggestions? My basic needs are listening on headphones as well as playing on an amp, so any other suggestions will be helpful. (Pre-amp,…

Learning Guitar
I've been trying to learn guitar for a while but I can never stick to it long. Recently I've started again and have been learning chords and what keys they go in, but I don't know what else I should be doing. I've been waiting on my only local guitar teacher to get a free space so I can learn, but in the interim I want to…

I Believe In Miracles
For those of you who play this song in the style of the acoustic version (Benaroya Hall for example) - what do you play in the section where Mike gets to solo after the bridge? On Given To Wail they just show the solo riff (which does not sound right to me...). What do you play for Ed's or Stone's part? Just the chorus…

Ernie Ball VPjr..PAN?
I haven't tried it (mainly because it takes about an hour to set up my gear) but is it possible to use the VPjr as a Pan pedal? There's an output and a tuner jack. Could I have the output go to one amp and the tuner go to another? Not even to fully mix but to switch between amps? I have my Roc Pro 700 as my main amp and…

Best SINGLE channel Amp?
Tube/Solid State/Hybrid. I have always wanted to play a single channel amp. Having two channels makes me feel like I need to use both. I guess I'm weird. Anyway, I have a Roc Pro 700---is there anyway to combine both channels? Silly question, I know. I was also wondering what you all preferred in terms of a single channel…

Just picked up one. A buddy was selling it and, though I rarely play, I was feeling sassy. Any thoughts/opinions/settings?
