Dear all Guitarists :)

I just wanted to share with you some things that I have learned :)

I have gone the Marshall Stack route. I know the awesomness of a Marshall turned up all the way. I know the lightning.

Four twelve cabinets are awesome. Nothing sounds better.

I have Vox amps, Fender Amps, Marshall, Carvin, and Line 6 amps. I have had Gibson Les-Pauls and SG series Guitars. Fenders and Ibanez are also part of my history.

I want to share with you an incredible sound and practicality if you are now in the situtation I am in where I have to carry my equipment to the jam sessions.

My Amp of choice now is a Roland CUBE (80X). My Guitar (as it has been for years) is a modified Fender Stratocaster. I put a Seymore Duncan Dual-coil humbucker in the bridge position (nothing is better for metal). When I have the switch position of my Guitar (Priscilla) set to activate the standard strat pickups in the neck and the middle positions and I have my Roland set on "Brit Combo" (Vox AC-30 emulation) I can get the sound of Stevie Ray Vaughn :)

When I have the switch setting of Priscilla set to the bridge pickup (the Seymore Duncan) and I have the Roland Amp set to "R-Fier" (Mesa Boogie Amp emlation) I can get the most awesome metal sounds imaginable!!

Simply put, after all the amps and guitars I have journeyed through. I have found that a strat with a dual-coil humbucker in the bridge position and the Roland CUBE 80X amp the most versatile. I cnn get any sound that I want. The Roalnd amp is built around a single 12 inch speaker, but dang does it deliver!!!!

The cost, simplicity, size and weight, and sound make this amp a godsend :)

If you need power, sound, affordability, and portability, get the Roland 80X Amp!!! You will not be dissapointed :)

Love

Brenda

I just carry my trumpet in a gig bag with a Flugelhorn and all of my mutes - they never put a mic in front of me so I don't worry about amps!

I have noticed that more and more bass players and guitar players are moving to the smaller amps.

Love ya,

Sally

Recently I have been using a Gretsch, Duo Jet with Bigsby, Relic, DynaSonic Pickups :) I would like to try a new amp, I've got a deal with a friend that runs the music place up the street, i can pretty much borrow anything i want from there.

Oh my, Brenii (Hee Hee).....

So many years ...so much gear....

Currently my No1 axe is my classic 1967 Rickenbacker 360..3 pickups (all original)...

But, I've owned, Gretch, Les Paus, old Gibson flying "V", Kent custom...SG, Strat...lots of kool stuff...

I also have a Vox 12 string acoustic with a built in pickup...

A Lyle..(beater..by beach guitar)

My banjo and 2 fiddles and an all steel Dobro....

I've owned A fender Showman amp...2 Ampegs, a Peavy Heritage, and my current amp a Peavy 200 watt with 2 Black Widow speakers (huge magnets) and I had to install casters on it because of the weight!

I never got to own a Marshall stack (lucky you!)

Honey....we need to rent a semi to move our gear!

LOL

HUGGS!

You know,

I completely spaced to comment that this amp also has the sweetest clean sounds too!!! It has an acoustic and other clean settings that can make your electric guitar sound just like an acoustic guitar :)

I am not a fan of solid state. My Music Man r65 combined with a customized strat I acquired last summer is a total beast. (I traded my Takamine ltd-89 for an american strat that the original owner modified heavily - somehow he got copper wiring manufactured in the 50's, rewound the pickups with it and reeired the guitar with that wire as well - then put heavy springs on the bridge and adjusted individual post heights on the pickups)

I can usually play anywhere without having to go through the PA with this rig - even feeds back right on cue. (I play punk - feedback is important for me to be able to control and generate at will).

I don't think I have encountered what I would consider the equal of a Music Man tube amp... by far the best make out there as far as I am concerned... and the r65 is especially good.

Your rig sounds awesome!! I too was a die hard "tube" only amp devotee. For me, nothing is better than tubes. One problem now for me, I can't lift anything heavier than 30 lbs.

All I can say is that I was pleasantly surprised by the CUBE amp. As you know, when it comes right down to it. Your sound is what is important.

You got it, go with it :)

Both of my Peavys are tube amps....

I got them because I love the compression that you can get with tubes...

No fan of solid state, myself...

I don't have anything that is worth using on stage.

I've got a Peavey Raptor (Strat clone), a Fender Showmaster and a Dean Metalman V bass.

I just have 2 Peavey amps. They do me just fine.

I love the sound I get out of my EMG laden randy rhoads style v, it's an arbor guitar. Old and beat up but dang it plays nice. Fat neck and the tension is medium. I use the Peavy Vyper 15 watt amp and I do have a jackson cobalt V guitar but it would sound way better with the emgs in it lol. I can just crank on that amp, it's pretty friggen sweet :D

Fine on the cube !

I have to stand across from our guitars player's triple Marshall stacks in our jam studio now. All I can say is my SWR SM 900's rack takes care of things from the low end here. We really do try and control the volume wars, remember dynamics :D

The Marshall's can be devastating at a 3 in certain ranges :blink:

Ring, ring, ring, it's always the next morning after the jam, you realize, gawd....

      It took me less than 6 months, in how my body quickly responded to hormone therapy, I was once a 40 jeans size, and now I'm comfortably wearing 12 to 14 sizes. Estrogen can speed things up and can slow things down in order to make adjustments. Seeing a treating doctor is very important to monitor the hormone levels to avoid possible side effects later on in life.

      I actually have Yoga as part of my exercise routine at the moment.  Since I'm still in the first month (of three, arbitrarily chosen by me) I've only got it slated for weekends, Sat/Sun.  I am finding out though if I get a little in during my morning wake up that when I get to my cardio in the evening, my joints don't ache as much. Right now the routine is: Weekly - Minimum of 3 days of cardio Weekly - Minimum 1 day of Yoga Monthly - Single endurance jog, preferably on Sunday I want my big thighs and butt to kinda hang around, so I am going to work some cycling into the mix after the third month. So far though, with the help of the Yoga stretches, Down 14lbs in a month. Next week is month 2.  ;_;  Going to put the tredmill on a slight incline to see if I'm ready for it.  If ya don't hear from me, the tredmill ate me. Oh!  I use a product called Yoga Stack 52, so I can Yoga at home.  It's just a deck of cards with the poses, difficulty, areas they stretch, and a nifty QR code you can scan to see a demonstration.

      Overly emotional language always helps civil discourse. Not.

      I often see people on the political Right claiming that all the wealthy elites are funding the "Radical Left".  But what I see seems to be the opposite.  There seems to be no lack of "big money" funding the Right.  The so called "Radical Left" is completely disorganized.  The "liberal media" (controlled by the wealthy) seems to be committed to presenting "both sides" of everything (including trans issues) whereas the Right makes no such pretense.   It should be noted, that in 1930's Germany the wealthy industrialists had no problem supporting the party (that can't be mentioned here). I have seen very few on the Left (out side of a few on the fringe) supporting an authoritarian regime.  Whereas plenty on the Right seem fine with it - down to many local MAGA folks.  Most of the GOP doesn't seem willing to even commit to accepting an election that they don't win.  Both Gore and Clinton accepted their loss despite having actually won the popular vote.  (it's that pesky electoral college thing)   Some on the Right claim to be oppressed by not being allowed to oppress certain minorities.  And Rightwing authoritarianism is now considered "Patriotism."  Go figure.

      Technically, it's before noon ;)   Uneventful day so far. I have my personal devices limited to 15 mins of screen time a day because I had a C lol, only problem really is the fact I do a lot of my social interaction online because most of my friends are in another state... been a little lonely, I guess? Plus I do a lot of reading and such online, and use my phone for references to draw, so there's a lot I don't have access to. So, just an annoyance now.   Anyways, fixed the C, hopefully I'll have normal things again soon ^-^   My mom's been having me take this herb pill in the mornings that is supposed to help with anxiety/ADHD-type symptoms, but I still have been having about the same amount of trouble focusing and sensory issues, so I guess it's not working haha

      That's awesome!

      Claire shares the same first letter as my male name.  I tend to prefer shorter names to long ones, and this one seemed feminine to me without going overboard. I was inspired by Claire Danes, Claire Underwood, and Claire Dunphy (upon whom I always had an enormous crush ).  Plus, it just felt right. I don't know if Claire will be my final legal name, but it's stuck longer than the others I've tried on.

      I always loved Ashley. I named my 2006 Roush Mustang that too. I also had a crush to Ashley Force who races in NHRA.

      I'm the same (estradiol, no blockers) and for me, after 4 years, T levels naturally *decreased*. I'm at E&T levels of a postmenopausal woman.   Astrid

      Revealed: the super-rich fascist Maga lobbying group who is brain-washing the far-right policies of Trump and other Republicans.   Documents show the Conservative Partnership Institute is pushing its far-right agenda at events involving GOP members. A powerful, right-wing lobbying group is promoting a hard-right policy agenda and cementing ties between the Republican party and the far right at at least 21 events involving senators, members of Congress, and both junior and senior political aides. The documents offer previously unreported details of Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI). In 2021, the former congressman and Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows joined CPI. Both Meadows and Mitchell were at the center of Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Meadows was indicted in Georgia in August.    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/23/conservative-partnership-institute-republican-laws
