Re: PSA: Pink Stuff as Fret Polishing Compound
Nice job! What guitar is that? Looks like a jazz box.
Another tip, especially for getting the frets super smooth is to use those four sided foam nail filing/polishing things, they get rid of any lingering filing marks.

Re: 20-40w tube amps - what do we like SS?
A 100 watt attenuator can’t really take a 100 watt amp down to home volumes, they are meant to cut some of the volume, not all of it. I use a 50 watt one on an 18 watt and a 5 watt amp, the 18 watt is still pretty loud if you want it to still sound good, but the 5 watt keeps its tone at home volumes.

Re: 20-40w tube amps - what do we like SS?
I had an HT5 for a few months and it was OK. But in that kind of price range I’d go for the Fender or Vox unless the two channels and tons of gain were a necessity. I find the fewer controls the better in general, otherwise I spend too much time twiddling.

Re: 20-40w tube amps - what do we like SS?
Marshalls are batshit expensive in the states, nowhere near the value we get here. Rhys, Thom’s Fender recommendations are sound, especially if you use pedals. I’ve got a Morgan PR5 which is super loud for the size, so the slightly higher wattage PR12 would be a good shout, especially if you like th...

Re: 20-40w tube amps - what do we like SS?
The PRS and a Weber attenuator. 50w is too big for most gigs, 20w is fine to gig with if you don’t play super clean, but way way too loud for home use unless you have a big detached house. I’ve run my 18 watt 2x10 Marshall unattenuated a couple of times at home and it gets to 108/110db. Even a 5w am...

Re: pictures of your shortscales
Maintain deez nuts.
I didn’t have to make any adjustment to the nuts on my guitars when I switched from 11s to 9s, but all bar one needed some truss rod adjustment and all needed to be properly set up.

ALERT, ALERT Screenshot 2022-12-14 at 09.30.14.png There's an EXTENSION speaker and an EXTERNAL speaker output there; it says only the EXTERNAL will mute the internal speaker; the EXTENSION will factor your internal speaker in, so we'd need to check the manual online to determine if this is paralle...

Re: Done bought a vox ac30
http://i.ibb.co/4RgFxtp/PXL-20221213-165228011.jpg Cream back is in. Only had a quick play but sounds nice enough. I think the amp is brighter now and seems to be cleaner. So perhaps was getting some grit from the speaker i had in? Either way will be able to play it loud tomorrow night at practice....

Re: Done bought a vox ac30
I’m mostly joking, but not about the skim reading. TBF I’m probably the other way when posting, a little too concise.
Paul’s pretty much summarised it perfectly.

Re: Done bought a vox ac30
In case it wasn't clear, no, I wasn't being completely serious about the Greenbacks. My limited and historic experience with them has given me a kneejerk reaction to them whenever they're brought up, and I used that as a jokey way to recommend the only speaker I've ever seriously loved, the Celesti...

Re. Speakers - I used these guy’s 10” speaker shootout when picking speakers for mine, maybe helpful in highlighting the differences.

Re: Done bought a vox ac30
I’ve got an alnico gold in my Vox style amp - probably more bottom end than the archetypal Vox sound though. Alnico blues sound great in an ac30 too.
