@The Shark I thought for second that you bought my old one, but mine went to Norway and had a fair amount of buckle rash on the back.

The more the merrier!

It would be amazing to see everyone again!

Trans Black, I wouldn’t say unusual. I had one.

It’s also $199 and not $299, the $299 cases are G&G. GC Doesn’t note that but SweetWater does. I thought the bags looked better IMHO. They arrive tomorrow.

I received a small “IN CART” discount for the bag. I’ve picked up a few of the custom color Fender Cases at GC and they have all been heavy, so I opted for the bag. https://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender/FE620-Electric-Guitar-Gig-Bag-Checkerboard-1500000417536.gc https://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender/Classic-Series-Strat-Tele-Electric-Guitar-Case-Wavy-Checkerboard-1500000417539.gc

I buy gear, I vet the gear, I sell you the gear, I buy more gear. If we skip step 3 we break the cycle, so…

Better for us, maybe, but that is a matter of opinion. The Band wanted something else, and it’s very possible that they had a different vision and after it was done they decided that “OK maybe we were wrong” and didn’t release it. Albini just captures what the band sounds like or what any band sounds like in the room at that moment. I’m interpreting that he didn’t really have a sound like some producers have. His sound is like listening back to yourself, if you hate your own voice you’re not going to like what you hear. Personally, I think some of them are great, some of them aren’t but at least we have the option of listening to the one we want to hear. I have really enjoyed listening to Bun E’s Basement Tapes on YouTube, and hearing those live performances and how they sounded gig to gig. https://www.youtube.com/@BunEsBasementBootlegs

Well, they sound different, but still damn good. My 11 year old daughter loves Cheap Trick, but she hasn’t come around to the old stuff. She loves the post Bun E music. Her favorite CT Song.

Priced right imho.

No Bunny was drumming through the album “The Latest” 2009.

Most if not all of them are on YouTube.

I don’t recall anyone being disappointed in what they bought, nor the price they paid. I’m fair, accurate with my prices and I’m always honest. Any other way I could not live with myself. TTT

$1250 for inquiring minds.

I think what we see here is there is no wrong way to build your Shishkov.

All three unique. ‘ ’

I have classic 57’s and have swapped out the Custom Custom back and forth. The Custom Custom with the volume on like 8.5 sounds identical to the 57 Classic. I just leave it slightly rolled back and open it up for leads. I really wish the winder of the neck pup would have signed it, its fantastic.

Once again, I’m making some cuts. This time I’m getting a little closer to the bone. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index.php?threads/1996-gibson-sg-61-reissue.2555817/

I agree with @Brooks that pickups and speakers care very very important “Modifications” you can make. I no long look at them as “Upgrades” because of the quality of most manufacturers are not the question, its more about what your ear is telling you in the end. If you like the cab as is, then leave it alone. The mix of the G12H30/V30 is common for good reason. You have the G12H30 that is Clear, Bright, tight bottom, slightly scooped in the midrange, then coupled with V30 has big midrange, great highs and aggressive bottom. The two coupled together fill in the EQ Spectrum and you essentially get the best of both worlds, good mix with similar output. A G12H30 paired with a Greenback is a similar mix to the V30 but the Greenback overdrives earlier so you get a mix of cleaner and dirtier tones in one cab. To not get sucked down a rabbit hole and save yourself A LOT OF MONEY, I would used one of the above mixes IF you feel that you want to try something. There is no right or wrong other than what your ears tell you. If you are a pedal player these choices are also a safe route to take. Changing speakers will have an affect on everything in your chain. Right now I have three small 1x12’s that I commonly mix. A Greenback, a Tone Tubby 40/40 (G12H30) and a G12-65. My most common mix for my tone is the Tone Tubby and the G12-65, I like the relaxed mids that allow my guitar, amp, and pedals to color the sound with their distinctive midranges.

I love TB, but he did two shoot outs on his channel and always picked the original and it was no contest. But when he did the blind test it was not as cut and dry. I would bet because he didn’t know which was which, and more importantly he couldn’t see where the knobs were set and only relying on his ears. At the end of the day, it’s between you and your ears. YouTube will never get across how the pedal is going to feel and react to you and your setup.

Every guitar that I have changed pickups in and still have are loaded with Gravelins. I simply email Josh, tell him what I want and he nails it.

Ok here is the scoop that I got today at a Chicagoland Sam Ash. They were closing and were only told on Wednesday. Signs were delivered, notices given. Sam Ash is closing stores nation wide and it is rumored that a sale of the company is coming. They are closing profitable stores, shrinking the footprint to make it more sellable.

I just want to note that Mike sent 0105 out with speed knobs on it, and I wasn’t sure about the look. That all went out the window once I used the guitar. I work my volume all the time and they are so easy on the finger. Not very often do I see another build that makes me jealous but DAMN that is HOTTT!

It’s coming!
