I've got no means to record it properly just now. :(

Edit: Here's a recording I made earlier, though (no MicroSynth).

There's feedback, a chorus, a phaser and a delay.

Edit2: Oh yeah, recorded that with my mobile phone, so excuse the quality.

Nice. You ever do any collaboration or are you in a band. I'm on a heavy drone/noise/etc. kick right now as well.

I'm in a band. That bit of recording was actually the end of one of our songs. It's been recorded differently, but I finally stumbled upon something I can make happen again.

Our music isn't very drone-y otherwise. In case you're interested: http://www.myspace.com/evercirclingwolves

Hey man, I like that "saturn drone" a lot. Is that you? I used to do a lot of noise/drone stuff, but I've been wanting to get back into it lately. Would you like to collab on something?

Got both of these in the past week. '65 Vintage Reissue Twin Reverb and a '94-'95 (based on the serial number) Japanese Fender Jaguar Special HH. The amp was a gift and the guitar I bought as a gift for myself, picked it up on craigslist for $350.



What's the serial number code for that Jaguar? I'm fairly certain the JGS model like that didn't go into production until the early 2000's or the late 90's. I'll have to wait till I get home to check mine, but I think, in spite of knowing it was made in '03, I found various serial dating methods that told me it was made in like 1987 or 1996 or something retarded. :lol:

But I digress, for $350, it doesn't really matter, it's my favourite guitar... Because they're so cheap I ended up having four of them at one time once.

The only weird thing about it is that instead of the V30 it should have stock, it has a G12-50 AVT, which looks like it's from an older solid state Marshall.

Epiphone is bringing back the Nighthawk!


When I first heard this, I was quite skeptical of what kind of quality it would be and how close to the originals it would be. But it has the longer scale and same pickup configurations and saying that Seymour Duncan will produce aftermarket pickups. drat, I want one!

Ahh, I love those things! Those pickup configurations are fantastic. Would be great if those cocksuckers decided to make this thing LH. (Surely, they won't.)

Jet City Amplification JCA12S


A 1x12 cab, dimensions 20"x21"x11" and loaded with a respectable Eminence speaker. The dimensions are comparable to the Avatar Classic cab, if I remember correctly, and the damned thing costs $129 new. Made with void-free hard plywood, though they don't specify if it's birch. At the price, even if I need to add some bracing, it's an absolute bargain; Avatar will sell you an unloaded overstock 1x12 contemporary in brown tolex, as cheap as a non scratch-and-dent gets, for $225 plus $35 or $40 shipping. A $129, speaker-included 1x12 cab with the same dimensions that gets good reviews and sounds great in clips seems like a friggin' no-brainer.

I am absolutely slammed and won't have a chance to record anything 'til tomorrow evening but the short review is YOU ALL NEED ONE OF THESE! It sounds huge (seriously, the tone I get with this is not very different than the tone I was getting with my 4x12) and the stock speaker is way, way better than suck. I'm going to replace it with a Warehouse Guitar Speakers Greenback knockoff just because, but there is really nothing wrong with it stock. It's well put together, everything is in its right place, the dimensions are impressive, it doesn't rattle, it doesn't bend, it doesn't flex at all that I can see, and it contributes nice things to that sweet spot where you start getting the cab good and involved in the sound.

The only downside is that only the nimble, dexterous hands of a child could possibly put together such an apparently solid product at such a low price. Other than that, go hog wild, this cab is a crazy good deal.

The serial number is T070733, and it says "Made in Japan" as opposed to "Crafted in Japan." According to this: http://www.fender.com/support/articles/japanese-instruments-product-dating that makes it '94-'95. Like you said though, it doesn't really matter since I got it for so cheap and I'm loving the way it feels and sounds.

Assuming it's like the originals, you can use whatever pickup you want. Just swap the angled baseplate off the stock pickup onto the bezels/wire/magnets of whatever pickup you want to use and you're good to go. Minor soldering required to ground it properly, but if you're swapping pickups anyway, it should be no problem.

I don't think the poles will line up properly if you try and swap a normal pickup in the angled slot.

Like I said, they may have changed it up with the reissue. It worked that way on the originals, though.

I'd always wanted one of these ever since I saw a guy playing one at the fair, and then once I saw Patrick Stewart playing it in DUNE I was SOOOOLD. It's called a Chapman Stick. They are really weird but have the coolest sound. Just spotted one on ebay for a dollar. STOKED!!!

You will either be A) sorely disappointed or B) Ripped off. Nobody sells a Chapman Stick for $1. The cheapest one is something like 2100x that.

I ordered a bass 6 months ago that went coast to coast 3 times before I got it courtesy of UPS. That included me noticing them trying to deliver it to the wrong address, calling them to correct the address or at least pick it up myself, and them sending it back to CA anyway. That was a long 2 weeks.
