Matchless C-85
So, I'm going to take a look at, and possibly buying a matchless C-85 this afternoon. Any info on this thing? All I know is that it's from 1992, and it's basically got the C-30 layout but with EL34s instead of the EL84s. The ad says 35 watts, but that doesn't exaclty make sense. I've done a few google searches, and tried…

Getting quality sound on the cheap
I have started playing guitar with a couple other guys. We have a smallish room with concrete walls to play in. We are all playing on fairly cheap equipment. Volume doesn't seem to be the issue, but tone clarity does. If I'm not playing too loudly by myself, I can hear chord transitions well, but when I have to crank up…

Ukulele Pick Up
So I've been playing the uke forever and a couple of months ago picked up a new tenor uke. I'd like to do some shows, but I don't know what type of pick up I should look at. Obviously I want something that isn't a piece of shit, but I don't want to spend a lot of money on something that will be used off and on at best. I…

Songwriter? Name of the first full song you wrote
I wrote lots of lyrics before this one, but this is the first one I put music to. Mine is a song called Moron. It is a song about being bullied. It's a punk song (isn't everyone's first song a punk song? LOL). I called it Moron because it's a loose transition on the bully's last name. I was very proud of it because anyone…

Help finding a guitar's value.
This is a bit of a long shot but I have a really nice Tanglewood bowl back electro-acoustic that is a bit of a rarity and would like to know what it is worth.

Help buying a new ukulele
I have a couple of crappy $30-40 soprano ukes and I am looking to upgrade finally. I am thinking about buying a concert or even tenor uke. I guess my main question is, not counting baritones, which I know have a completely different tuning and chord fingerings--but do the larger ukes (concert & tenor) have the same tuning…

First guitar for me!
I just bought my first guitar! Just had to share... I'm a uke player, but was ready to pick up a guitar as well. Got a good deal on a second-hand one from the store under my work. Can't wait to get home and play! (I feel a little guilty... I hope my uke's feelings aren't hurt.)
