You got yourself a hell of a QB! I'm sad to see Russ leave.

Hippo, Rhino, Elephant, Duke the wonder dog? What say you?

3 years ago, I bought a minty 80's Peavey Audition 110 for $28 at an antique store. I really had no use for it, but could not pass it up for the like new shape it was in and the price. I wound up giving it to a gal at church who plays baritone uke (very well) and had just bought a cheap lap...

I was placing an amazon order for my wife and thought; "You know what? It's been several years since I bought a new (or used) pedal. I think I need a (cheap) tremolo." I've been on a gear purge the past few years and while I still have a bunch of pedals and pickups to sell, I felt a trem pedal...

Playing football my first year in high school, (1970 at 15) I had to order my shoes....er, my mom had to order my shoes (size 15 at that time) from the Detroit Lions. I live near Seattle, but at that time there was no Seahawks. Right now I wear a size 17 shoe.My wife wears a size 6 and has like...

Well, have any of TDPRI brothers and sisters in Ga stumbled across the newest invasive species yet? Apparently the Tegu lizard grows up to 4 feet in length and has no natural enemies. Eats pretty much anything, including pets. Perhaps we can train them to eat murder hornets!

I'm looking for a loaded strat guard and came upon a fella selling one from a Corona strat. What pickups came stock on the Corona models? I'm after more low wind, 50's type vintage tones, so not sure if these qualify or are more Tex-Mexi or hotter winds.

Sorry if this is the wrong spot for this, but hoping to get some honest answers. 15-20 years ago, I happened upon a small, pop up store that was selling left over stock from the premier musical instrument store (from 60's to 80's) in the area. They had been out of biz for quite a few years...

A friend gave me a nice tele neck a while back. The other day, another friend gave me a loaded tele body, It belonged to another friend who passed away a year ago. In addition to being a great guy and terrific guitarist, the friend who passed away was a terrific luthier. The body is...

Under the guise of asking for advice on what overdrives to sell or keep, I post. Truth is, I feel the need to talk about some overdrive pedals that have managed (as my wife sez) to "Hmmmn, just show up out of the blue?!"; over the past few years. The one I've had the longest is an original...

I've inherited a few rifles over the years. A 1907 (from what I can decipher by the serial #) Winchester .32 Self Loading Model 1905 was a gift from my dad's dad. It's in wonderful shape for it's age and has 2 clips and a box of shells. I've had this for 25 years or so and never shot it. Next...

As a long time slide lover and sometime slide player, I dig hearing great players. Johnny Winter got me hooked on slide back in the late 60's, early 70's and that led me to search out his influences and discover some great, old players. I was thinking of those I like and those I admire, but...

Since cutting the cable 6 years ago, I've been enjoying much of the over air content. After years of a ho-made antenna, I found one for $1.00 at the Goodwill that brought in many more stations. One that came in is called NHK World. I find myself watching it more and more. They have some...

Last pawn shop visit yielded a deal to good to pass up. I came away with a sweet Ibanez SC320. Next to the unbelievable price, the guitar sported a set of Railhammer pickups. I'd always been interested in hearing them, so win win. When I took the guitar apart, turns out the pickups were a...

The Shimverb and Hardwire delay I bought used just arrived in the mail. I was only after the delay, but the Shimverb was so cheap, I said to myself, "What the hey"..... and had the good fella include it in the box. Since I had never heard a Shimverb (let alone read any reviews) I did a search...

I just posted a wanted classified. I'm in dire need of a pedal to emulate organ tones. I spent some quality time with a B9 a while back and had a blast with it. I have not tried the C9 or earthquake organizer. Some seem to like the POG2 for organ tones, but as I state below, I'm a simple minded...

Crapola brothers and sisters! After 5-6 years of gear purging and a self imposed moratorium on gear purchases, (other than buying cheap guitars and amps to fix and re-sell in our little antique booth) I've gone a bit mad (well, madder than usual!) the past month or so. In addition to a Monoprice...

I seem to be on a Digitech kick lately. I Picked up a Bad Monkey, Tone Driver, Expression Factory and an older DOD 'Edge'. The Expression Factory is the only one I was actively seeking, the others came to me not out of need, but due to stoopid cheap deals I could not pass up. The Tone Driver has...

Double bound teles have always been among my fav's. Especially with a sweet two tone sunburst ala a 72 Custom. I've long dreamed of putting one together, but the fact is my 15 year old chambered mahogany tele (USACG body and neck) is so darn good, it's the electric I will play till I can no...

Since I'm planning on changing the pickups in my tele from a low wind neck bucker and hot bridge to a set of Fezzter Oildales, I'm thinking a new control plate using BL's Half Out of Phase diagram might be in order.. I've been totally tele for the past 15 years and quite content with the tones...

My nephew asked me to teach him guitar, so we've had 3-4 lessons so far. He has turned out to be a quick study and he quickly said "AWESOME" when I gave him a Squire strat and said we need to do both acoustic and electric. My niece (his mom) asked me to find an amp in the $200 range for his...

When life took a strange turn a few years ago, I came to the realization having a room full of guitars, amps, pedals, etc when I no longer gig or make money from music is pretty foolish. While I'm still in process liquidating things, I did manage to rid myself of excess pedals. After the...

There are times I'm in need of a little reverb. While I would love to have a sweet, quality pedal, the fact is, it ain't happening! Recently, my prolonged search led me to ebay and a "Portable KOKKO FRB2 Mini Space Pedal Guitar Effect Pedal" offered by tomtop. I was a bit apprehensive since it...

I'm talking about the the little white Brian May amp (Deacy pre-amp) Vox offered for a short time. It's about the size of a Pathfinder. I've owned 5-6 Pathfinders, so I realize this one is nothing like it. I certainly do not need another amp, but like guitars, I seem incapable of passing up a...

I married into a family of world class junkers. When my wife and her sister get together, look out! Add our daughter to the mix and it's an all day excursion. I also love junking and through the years, we have had some great times and made some great finds. My sister in law found me a sweet old...
