Ac30
Was browsing eBay and came across this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Vox-AC30CC2-Custom- ... .m14.l1318 If you don't care about cosmetics (it has a tear in the tolex on the top), this might be a good chance for someone looking to pick up a Vox (or even upgrade to a tube amp in general).

Maple Fretboard
I played a Standard Strat with a Maple Fretboard today and I really , really like the feel and sound of the Maple. My other guitars are Rosewood fretboards so it does feel a litlle different but I don't know if it's just me but the Maple fretboard seems to feel a little thinner in my hand than the rosewood. I don't know, I…

Someone told me......
As I said in the last post I played a Strat yesterday and while I was at the store playing a few, another guy was there looking at Strats and LP's and he saw me looking and playing Strats and he told me............if you pluck the B string and squeeze the body of the Strat on the bottom you should feel the resonance. Each…

Saddle Replacement
Just picked up a used SG and the saddles have some wide grooves in them, and the low E seems to have been cut into. What does it take to replace the saddles in a tune-o-matic bridge, or am I better off just buying a whole new bridge?

Anyone here from Jersey that want to start a band?
I'm a bass player, & a singer/songwriter. I'm looking to get a new band together. Obviously PJ influenced. Other influences include The Cure/Sex Pistols/Sisters of Mercy/Wilco/Rolling Stones/Fugazi...etc... I'd be more than happy to just play bass, or just sing, or both. Not really an issue.

Two tech questions
First question reguards tuning.... Whats the difference between E, e, e' for example? I know my tuner has "b" and "#" for flat and sharp, but how does that translate to the above example? Second question is the care of strings. I bought some new strings and they are already getting scally and dirt deposits underneath the…

Singing and Playing
I have a tough time singing and playing guitar at the same time. I'm not by any means a good singer at all but I think it would add interest to other people listening to me especially my wife when I play my acoustic guitar. It's one thing to just strum some chords to say.....Man of the Hour but if I could sing it at the…

My amps are DEAD
well, I played a show on Saturday (and it downpoured). After I got the equipment in the garage, my univox amp(backup amp) shorted out on the spot but my main Fender roc pro 700 seemed fine. I plugged it in today and I'm getting shocked pretty nicely. The reverb tank has been acting up for a while (the plugs are coming out)…

Radial Tonebone Plexitube
http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ToneBonePT Anybody have one of these? If you're looking for a tube distortion pedal, then I would definitely recommend one. I was given one by a studio musician friend of mine.. and I'm really happy with it. It's VERY quiet when on... as one would expect with a Radial product.

How do you travel w/ your guitar when you fly?
Dumb question but I'm going out of town for 2 weeks and am going to bring my electric in my hard case. Do you check in your guitar or do carry on? Everytime I fly it seems there's really limited space in the overhead compartments.

potentially stupid question

Where to find drum tabs?
Hey guys...thanks in advance for all of the good advice. I am learning to play drums and I have a question. I am not good enough yet to do my own tabs, so where can I go to find a good selection of PJ drum tabs? Most of the "big" sites only have a couple to choose from.

Anybody from the Seattle area want to jam?
I'm an aspiring singer looking to jam with some people. I've got some chops. I've got some power in my voice, but i'm still very green as i've not sang since my boyhood choir days until just recently. I'm not saying i'm chris cornell, but I won't be a waste of your time either. I can't play any instruments, but I am…
