If any of you need music gear, check out humbuckermusic.com. That is my son's business and he ships nationwide. It will also help put my grandchildren through college. He is also a car guy like the rest of us.

I might get myself a custom neck from warmoth to finish off my frankenstrat. Other than that, just some strings and picks. Although my tubes are due for replacement.

Christmas is coming up. Anyone planning to get more gear???

GUYS I need advice from someone who knows something about tube amps

I'm repairing a tube amp right now (specifically, a Peavey heritage VTX) and one of the tubes is fried. Is it significantly better to replace all four tubes with a new matched set, or can I just stick one new tube in and be good to go?

Replace all of them at once. Then make sure you have you're amp biased.

Some amps have a 'bias switch', which allows you to sort of plug and play different power tubes, but it's best to have it done by a professional.

Trent would know about this. PM him and maybe you can get an answer. Political preferenecws aside, he's a really smart guy haha

It's weird... my guitar has on days and off days. Sometimes, I hate the way it sounds and the way it overloads the pickups, but some days it's just dialed in and rocking out and I can't stop playing.

Dude I know what you mean. Its like sometimes its bleh, and youre just playing garbage. But other days, shit just connects in my head. Its like Im 2 steps ahead. Its been like that recently since Ive finally passed the first level of skill and shits like happening in my head and I can actually play whats in m y head. I wish I was as good at guitar as I got at all the other stupid shit instruments I learned. FUck I remember on violin, I could add shit here and there, I could play shit double time just for shits and giggles. At piano y teacher would get pissed because Id add to the lesson my own shit that sounded better to me. But I was younger. I still learn unbelievably quickly and figure shit out on my own, but its different. If I was the sponge of knowledge I was at guitar, Im positive Id be quite good. Shits just came natural to me. Fuck it...... Dont do drugs, kids. haha. What a depressing post this turned out to be haha.

so does anyone here play classical guitar?
i inherited this one from my dad
it is a 1974 KOHNO #6
i he bought it in '74 for $1200, i had it appraised last year.........it is now worth between $60K - $70K :D. it is now on my home owners insurance too!

Goddamn! Nice investment!

I ended up not getting that Univox LP. It was in shitty condition even for a 40 year-old guitar. The first few inlays were on the verge of falling out and didn't match the fretboard cutout shape at all, and there was a bunch of other stuff that just screamed BAD at me.
