The resonation thing is all in your head. Heck I used to believe it too. Ever play an unfinished solidbody guitar? There isn't a world of difference you know. Look me in the eye and tell me if you took a blindfolded test, with two identical guitars with identical hardware, with different ...

You are terribly mistaken. For a forum that pretty much collectively agrees (for the most part) that strings all sound the same, and that it doesn't matter how many pieces of wood are used int he contruction of the guitar, you all seem to have some superior opinion when it comes to the tone of the ...

poly finishes

yeah i wish companies didnt soak their guiars in so much poly. too thick and gross. Outdated finishes FTL. Would you finish your car/truck with paint that fades/rubs off easily and chemically reacts with certain materials? Poly is more durable, resists dents and scratches better ...

Whatever, I guess I'll join in the fun.

Good successful guitarists that insist on playing poorly made harmony/kay guitars with toneless pickups from the 60's just for looks.

Eastwood guitars.....at the prices they are now, save up $50 more and buy an actual vintage guitar. :roll:

In the States the Blues Junior is a good deal - Fender amps over here are tres pricey. Let us know how you get on... I imagine that's how it is with Orange and Vox over here in the states. The newest version of the AC15 is $600 and the Orange is $550 just for the head alone. The Blues Jr at $400 ...

Ah I was forgetting all about the Blues Junior! The trem is something I can go without built into the amp, I can always get a cheap behringer pedal or something if I'm desperate for it at home. That's actually way more in my price range than the vox too....

Sonds kool, I'll probably try em both out ...

Well, I like for amps to at least have built in reverb.

I used to actually have an Airline 8305-S (I think was the model number) amp...it had once channel with just volume, and another with volume, tone, and tremolo. I loved that amp, I have no fricken clue why I traded it in towards my roland ...

I want something that has alot of features, sounds nice and full, and also doesn't make the house shake.

A non-valve alternative I was looking into were Tech 21 Trademark 30's....

I don't want to spend $800 on a head and cab here...trying to keep the cost around or under $450. Also, the orange has no reverb or trem.

I need a new amp...

I have a silverface twin that's my main band workhorse, but for the bedroom right now I've got shite. Just a G-Dec and some cheap mark II amp I bought for $10.

I need a good workhorse for recording and practice. I'm thinking tube's the way to go, as I never really seem satisfied with anything ...

I don't know about that. The neck position usually needs to be less output as it is to match the bridge pickup. If the red is too hot for the gold, you could always lower it, or raise the neck pickup.

I had the same soldering iron related injury like 3 weeks ago. I thought it was unplugged and was seeing if it was still warm. Turned out I unplugged the wrong plug.

Phasers are pretty damn useless and usually suck alot of your tone away.
