Re: Cable recommendations

Mogami w2524 and Neutrik NP2X is what I've used for ages and ages after I made a bunch of them after my planet waves died (and can't be repaired easily). Turns out their lifetime warranty didn't migrate when Daddario bought them out and instead became a 2 yr warranty. The Mogami stuff is world clas...

Re: Cable recommendations

This is an old and boring subject, but what are the good cable options these days? I used to buy Freedom and Lava cables from Ryan, but the virtually all the cables I’ve bought since have been disappointingly flimsy. What are good, solid options these days, that aren’t super expensive? I bought som...

Re: Offset chat

Does an Explorer count as an offset, or is it too offset? It's the guitar I have wanted since the 1980s. I always end up with something less radical though, e.g., SGs and LPs etc. kowe0xjfitn41.jpg There is a strict technical definition which we adhere to on this thread. Unless we're talking about ...

Re: Anyone Rocking Vintage Blackface?

I haven't found my Mike-C Deluxe Reverb to do its best work when fully cranked. It sounds great at 5-7 on the volume dial, especially when cutting bass and/or adding Klone/TS in front. But diming the volume just doesn't sizzle my bacon. That's in distinct contrast to the Plexi and Tweed, both of wh...

Re: Anyone Rocking Vintage Blackface?

Grant B, Conway - you boys wind them up, or keep them clean? Robbie - Bandmaster would stay pretty clean right? Maybe a little grit at the top of the dial? Twins scare me. Bandmaster is not mine and not stock. I spent a month with it. I got no break-up. None. Significantly louder and cleaned than m...

There's a well-loved Bandmaster head with a forumite. I have the matching cab which I bastardise with various speakers.

Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?

No! Do the 18W! It's such a sweet little amp. It was the sound in my head for fifteen years and was just as good as I remembered when I eventually bought one.
