Gentlepeople, let it be said one needs nothing more than an MXR distortion+ into a Sunn Model T.  All lands within a 20 mile radius just got mount saint helens flattened.

Counterfeit guitars aren't legal to sell in the US and even if they were, this guy's asking for a stupid amount of money. https://stlouis.craigslist.org/msg/6157923166.html

There is a legal difference between manufacturing multiple counterfeit instruments with serial numbers and the like, with the intention of fooling the customer, and creating a one-off "art piece" homage that clearly says the word "replica" somewhere on it. Not disagreeing with you about the price though.

It doesn't say that anywhere on it. But it does have "MADE IN USA" and a fake serial number stamped into it. Also the seller lists Gibson as the manufacturer.

Oh right, yep that sure is a serial number on there isn't it. Didn't see that earlier. Well either way, I think we can all agree the most heinous crime committed here was the decision to put square mother of pearl inlays on a maple fretboard.

I've told the story before about my buddy who went through a serious Zakk Wylde phase and bought four (4) Chinese bootleg Gibsons at just about $250 each. Two were the camo bullseye bootlegs, one was a blonde guitar where the mid-body seam was off-center by about an inch down by the bottom strap button, and a white "Res Paul" that he tried to sell on eBay almost immediately. They kept taking his auction down even though he was truthful about the origin of the guitar. He plastered "This is not a real Gibson" all over his auction but eBay had rules about selling bootleg items and so it kept getting removed. Eventually he did sell it, and also one of the Camo Zakk Wyle bootlegs to people who knew what they were getting but didn't care. He made money on those sales. I remember asking him, "You do realize that for the $1,000.oo you spent on the guitars, plus the several hundreds more you spent on bridges, tailpieces, pickups, pots, nuts, tuners, and paying a luthier to do all that work for you plus fretwork, you could have bought a couple fairly nice legit Les Pauls?" His answer was, "Yeah but then I wouldn't be willing to play them as beater guitars on stage." It's true, he gigged with two of them a lot. This same dude, many years ago just when we were out of High School, had a decal-maker copy gold stick-on Charvel logos for some strat-style necks. He calls the guitar he built from all non-Charvel/Jackson parts his "Charvel" even though the only thing on it that says Charvel is the fake logo he paid someone to make. I call him a poser a lot, until he starts to take it personally then I leave him alone. My friends and I stopped him from ordering Fender water-slide headstock logos simply by relentlessly shaming him over his Res Pauls and his "Charvel." It's a personal peeve of mine: people putting fake logos on their gear or relicing it for fake cred. My guitars are beat to poo poo, but that's because I've played the gently caress out of them and not one of those dents, scratches, or rust was intentional. It's just a series of accidents that took place over years. I'm sure some people who love JEMs would be appalled at the cosmetic appearance of my 29 year old 77FP but I didn't buy it to put it away for safe-keeping. I wish I had been able to buy two, and save one; but I wouldn't change a thing. I also wouldn't ever buy a bootleg instrument. On the other hand, I'd love to built myself a very nice Strat-style (S/S/S with vintage trem) out of parts. I'd call it a parts-caster and leave it at that (although I am kinda interested in the Fender Deluxe Strat, the one with a 12" radius and the extra switch that lets you play the neck + mid pickup together, like the Tele mid-position. It's $850. I just wonder if I'd like it, especially the "Fender noiseless single coils.") Ok, I rambled all over the place here, but those Zakk Wylde Gibsons (the real ones) are crazy expensive, and I have no indication from Gibson's QC issues that it'd be worth that kind of money. E: Typos as usual. Dr. Faustus fucked around with this message at 23:14 on Jul 10, 2017 |

My biggest issue with the Zakk Wylde signature guitars is uh ...Well actually it's the cosmetics, I think they're ugly, but the second part is that you could also just buy any decent LP and stick some EMGs in it and have functionally the same thing

I have never been a fan of LPs simply because of three main things: Weight distribution Scale length Height of the strings off the body (palm-muting and picking on that body would be difficult for me after a lifetime of playing Ibanez.) Now, that doesn't mean I'd turn my nose up at every Les Paul. I'd be thrilled to have a nice Cherry-sunburst tiger-stripe maple guitar, or the black/gold version. Those are classic and I'd be proud to have them. I have no problem with thick necks, either. I have an Ibanez with a Wizard neck and I like the JEM neck more, but I can adapt to playing a song on a ruler and then playing my Tele or Talman with no problem. My hands aren't so small, but I think that's why I like the longer 25 1/2" scale length, and I do like having two octaves to works with, but it's not necessary. I'd also be pleased to own a simple, vintage-sounding SG. Plus I don't own a single instrument with P90s in it, and that's a serious deficiency in my collection.

My stupid music poo poo currently is I sold someone a perfectly working power amp on reverb, which he took to Mexico and is now claiming it's sparking and not working and wants a refund. I have a feeling I'm about to be boned hard here. Stupid me didn't take a video of it working properly before shipping.

The Muppets On PCP posted:dumb question but did you insure the package when you shipped it? Yeah, that I actually did do. Edit for more information: I shipped it to him on 6/26/17, and it was delivered on 6/29/17 to the address he asked for in texas. I had UPS box it up and insured it for what I sold it for. He said he picked it up from the place I shipped it to and took it back to his home. He's now requesting a refund through reverb and paypal saying that its sparking and going into protection mode at above ~30% volume. So he's had the thing for almost 2 weeks, and I have a feeling UPS isn't going to want to play ball. I'm going to call them as soon as the store near me opens today and see what my recourse is.

Speaking of stupid music poo poo, I have a KH-202 that I need to sell (leftover from my young dumb metal days), how much do you reckon I could charge for it? Condition is absolutely fine. Also, can anyone recommend a good online retailer that does instalment financing for folk instruments (banjo, mandolin, or accordion specifically)? RE stagefright, I've performed as a metal band in large venues and as a folk player in pubs and I've always found the toughest gigs are the ones in pubs with no one there. Boring as poo poo. Best ones are busy pubs, I just get hammered before the show so I can belt out the drinking songs with the right attitude.

It even has a charge pump that takes it from 9v to 18v for more headroom (and no need for an 18v adapter). It makes everything you run through it sound better (well, if you love the Sunn Model T) and crush harder and doom straight up your butthole. Buy everything John Snyder makes. Everything.

I've been looking into pedal preamps to make me less reliant on whatever backline I end up with; normally we bring mini tube heads with us but they're annoying to carry and we can't use them in Japan with their 110V power. Japanese venues often provide a Marshall or something so I could run my rig straight into the power amp and not worry about how old and lovely the preamp tubes are (eg. indonesian festival backline is usually early 90s JCMs that have literally never been retubed)
