A friend of mine had a Super 60 a few years back. This thing was a high gain 1x12 all tube monster. Very weighty for it's size. From what I can remember it had 4x 12AX7s and 2x KT66 or similar big power tubes in it. (sorry, I don't know my power tubes that well!) Only problem was that he didn't...

I only use this one in line with my bass rig, so no other pedals in line. I will try it with the guitar rig & a few pedals to see if I have beeping too. However it's strange that it makes beeps while it's supposed to be true bypass.

Sounds like the speaker in my Crate VC30 has some crap in the voice coil and will be parting ways with me very soon. I'm gonna' need a replacement! I could do what everyone does and go get a Vintage 30, or I could ask for some suggestions. As mentioned it's a single 12" loaded in an open backed...

I was in that particular store about a month ago. There was only one at the time, but I'm sure the price was around $600AU when I was there! Quality is dubious. Floyd Rose won't vibrate when you smack it like the real thing. Shocking inlay work too. Would be interested to know if someone buys...

Don't forget to take your cordless drill along! :D http://youtube.com/watch?v=8je4thXoUFo

I love this. Not on the website, but on all the press releases. "Historically accurate short neck tenon, just like the one on Slash's original" I don't care how accurate it is, I want a real neck tenon for that price!

Precisely! :wink:

Second from let top row, is that one of your RLG-50's? Adore the colour.

I agree. Why are large strap buttons not more common? I have some on an old RG and they are great! No strap has ever come off it. Does anyone know where you can get oversized strap buttons online? I have searched and can't find them anywhere.

I wish you didn't point that out! Lots I missed! On your map I only got as far as Big Boss before crossing the street and heading back up the other side :roll: Oh well, I guess it's a good excuse for another holiday! 8)

There is a Greco Thunderbird listed here for ?550. I recently paid half that for one the same and in similar condition less than a month ago. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Greco-Thunderbird-bass-80s-made-in-Japan_W0QQitemZ120242055012QQihZ002QQcategoryZ33040QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

When I first joined this forum to show off my first MIJ, Rich was one of the first to welcome me and praise my purchase. Hardly the act of a pompous wanker. While I see plenty of heated discussions here, they are (usually) always in the pursuit of knowledge and not unjustified blatant attacks...

No vote from me, because while it's definitely not lovely, I don't hate it either. If there was a poll button that said "If this was hanging on the wall in my local guitar shop I would probably be intrigued enough to take it down and play it before hanging it up again and walking away", then I...

The truly great technician is the one that knows how to apply that technique in the context of the song. John Petrucci is a fine example of this. He can be every bit as soulful as Gilmour, yet stamp it with his own style. Does that make him better than Gilmour? Certainly not, because at the end...

No need for custom orders, for an RG I can't see how you could do better than the 20th anniversary RG550 that's out there. For a pointy glam metal beast, it's unbeatable! I had a 90's RG750 and currently have a '87 RG550, and this baby lives up to the legacy & more.

Thanks John, got it now!

Hey John, I kinda like my tone at about 4 for neck pickup. If I had a Log/Audio/ A taper tone pot would it mean it would be sitting between 1&2, and have a narrower sweet spot?

It's hideous! Children didn't run crying from this thing?! :o Did Keith change the nappy?

In Tokyo I was given a blank stare when I asked for "Orville". After a while the assistant went "Aaah, Oorbill" :lol:

Not sure if it's Japanese, maybe made by Samick? However, Cimars were on the Australian market as Cimar by Ibanez, and were definitely pitched at the low end of the market.
