Hey all. I’m looking for a lone star head shell so I can convert an electra dyne combo into a head. If anyone has one, or knows of one, I’m interested with cash. Thanks.

Well, I recently sent a guitar in hard case to Italy, about 25 pounds total weight, and that cost just over $100USD. I'm not certain about customs and taxes but the value for that guitar was about $800. I did read on the USPS website that you really aren't supposed to ship musical instruments...

It depends where you're shipping it to. Whenever I sell internationally there are a few rules I follow. 1. Buyer covers all taxes, tarrifs, customs fees, etc. 2. Pack your item to survive nuclear war. 3. Go to USPS.com and check out restrictions for size/items for the country you're going...

Is there a particular band you can give? I mean, modern harcore metal has a lot of variance (IMHO), and my setting may not sound that impressive to you, or might just not be what you had in mind. Also, which tubes are you using? 34 or 6L6?

Something I like is I go to Home Depot and pick up sheets of styrofoam insulation. They come in different thickness, and you can trim it to fit around the amp, perfect fit every time.

Search for Brent Gutierrez. He's a really solid luthier that does some great work.

Right now I'm living in the 80's... Ozzy - Miracle Man Whitesnake - Fool for your Lovin' Blue Murder - Blue Murder Racer X - Hammer Away

That sounds about right for that cab right now. The market is sort of slow in general. If you need to money $400 is fair.

For blues/rock/80's metal you can do a whole lot worse than a Peavey VTM 60/120. Marshally sort of tones, it's sort of a tweaker amp with all the dip switches, with a boost can cover all kinds of metal, by itself is just a real solid amp in the vein of a JCM800. They're ugly so they're...

I recently switched out V1 in my recto to help tame some of the fizz. I went with a 12at7 though, and it's noticeable, smoother gain, no fizz, really killer. I'm tempted to try a 5751, which is a little hotter than the AT but not as much as an AX.

I'm glad to see other tube tester guys here. I've also heard the 5751 is a good option as well, just a bit hotter than a 12at7. The rest of my tubes are stock Mesa, do you guys have favorites for the other spots? I haven't tried EL34's since the V1 swap so I haven't decided what to do...

How many folks have tried this here? 12at7 in V1? I was having a hard time dialing in my newer single rec solo, seemed like a lot of fizz/fuzz, spikey characteristics. Someone on another board said they had good luck swapping the v1 tube so I tried it. Penta Labs balanced triode, about...

I have been going through dougstubes.com for a couple years and when I need help he's been great. I recently retubed my single rec solo head and I was skeptical about a couple preamp tubes he recommended, but it really does sound good.

A really solid clean boost you might not know about is the Baja Boost. It's a bit like an old Rangemaster, but with a tone knob. Clean, clear, great for pushing your amp over the edge. Not to spendy either.

I was pleasantly surprised with a Dean I bought recently. I'm not sure what you consider sexy but I wouldn't rule them out. Another guitar I wouldn't hesitate to buy would be anything from Reverend. Great guitars.
