Simple song, he wanted to play something 'easier' for once... http://www.youtube.com/user/BionikBoy96#p/u/0/w-92nTfDjJQ

We submitted Ian's cover of Glasgow Kiss for the Guitar Idol 2009 contest... If you guys feel like giving him a vote (if you think he deserves it), he would be happy :) http://guitaridol.tv/heat_3/entry/john_petrucci_s_glasgow_kiss Marc

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akbaTWaogXw Which Dual Rectifier is this? Solo? Roadster? Seems like there were quite a few models with the same naming scheme... Thanks! Marc

I bought this before the holidays to try and play with my son, and bass is not for me. Guitar is way more fun to play (IMHO)... To each his own :) So if you're interested, let me know! I'm from Canada, Montreal area... so I'm asking 350$ CAD I added Schaller strap locks to the bass, and new...

I saw this for sale locally, wondering if I can get a JP tone with this. I saw a video on youtube of a guy in Brazil playing Damage Control with a Dual Rectifier (on a 4x12) and I love the tone of it... Is this the same thing (Dual Rec yes but what is Maverick?)...

Ok, building is a big word. Assembling would be more like it. I'm looking at parts from Warmoth and I want to build a custom strat. a) Should I? :) b) How bad can I screw up? Here's what it looks like (I photoshopped some parts). Basically, a Strat body, wizard neck in satin clear finish...

Someone is advertising a Mark IV, Rev A it seems (no reverb control on footswtich, but he says there's a separate connector for a reverb control), made in 1990, recently retubed. He's asking for 1500$CAD. Anything I should know/look for before shelling out the $$...

Anyone has any experience with this? Good idea? Bad idea? Looking at buying an amp/cabinet (4x12 & Mark IV probably) Any issues with customs? New stuff gets taxed, what about used? Thanks! Marc

http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-Combo-a-lampe-12-po-W0QQAdIdZ95035341 I just saw this... no price listed and seller claims to ignore ridiculous offers (but yet no price listed). Obvious Mesa copy. Man, the stuff coming out of asia...

My son's Boss DS-1 was bugging me (yeah, like I have anything to say about it lol). It was noisy and the settings didn't (to me) seem to change much of anything. So I figured I'd give a shot at modifying it. I ordered the Rectifier/Tri-Gain mod from Monte Allums. Received the kit within about a...

I decided to give playing bass a shot since guitar hurts my arm too much. So far it's "easier" on the right arm, but ****, my left hand fingers are sore :) Found a used Ibanez Roadgear locally, in excellent condition. It came with a small Hartke amp. I guess i'll have to look into the Scout if...

Well... Uh... I am thinking of getting a bass guitar as I tried playing guitar with my son a few years back and I started having severe pain in my forearm and shoulder (strumming side). I work in IT and most of the pain comes from using a mouse for the last 20 years... Would playing bass be...

Finally! My son was ready to record his first track with the Mesa Express ;) We recorded (he did all the work, I pressed record and held the camera lol) tonight after school. It sounds great to us! Post feedback for him if you enjoy it! Pink Floyd - Breathe www.youtube.com/animeka

Well, we're all set for recording now :) Got an Apogee Duet today, with a Shure SM57 mic. Did some initial tests on the Mesa Express 5:50, the clean is awesome on recording. The Burn channel i have to adjust a bit... I'll post some clips this weekend for those interested, first one will be Dream...

My and my son have been trying to record tidbits to try and come up with something for the Hockey Night in Canada contest (make a new theme song). I spent more time trying to get my PC to record something than playing. I tried thru the POD XT live via USB on 3 of my PCs, all of them sound like...

http://montreal.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-musical-instruments-guitare-electrique-Guide-W0QQAdIdZ70013619 Found that today. Urgh.... I guess the beholder thing is applicable here...

I've asked advice from you guys before, and I'm at it again :) I'm building a pedalboard for my son, using some stuff we have/some new ones. What are essentials effects wise that would go great with the Mesa Express 5:50? I have a Dunlop 535Q Wah, a Boss TU-2 tuner, a Boss DS-1 (dont know if...

Hi guys, me again with more questions. I'm still looking at getting a mark iv for my son, more than likely a head. What kind of cabinet should I get to go with it? It's mostly for bedroom use, so my guess is a 2x12 would be more than enough. Thing is after reading and looking at auctions I'm...

I figured running a Line6 POD thru an amp would be a good idea (we've been doing it on the Roland Cube 30) but I find it sounds too.... digital/processed sometimes. Once I get a mesa, should I ditch it or use it for effects without the amps/cabs simulators? Marc

I'm looking for a Mesa amp for my son. He's 12 and plays really good. He's into Dream Theater and Petrucci these days, and I feel that the Roland Cube 30 and POD XT Live doesn't do justice to the tone ;) I need something that sounds good at low levels (bedroom use), so I dont think a 4x12 is...
