Looks to me like these guys a Super-Vee came up with a great idea for a no- (or minimal-) mod Strat tremolo replacement. Just drop it in your Strat, replace your nut with theirs, and off you go. The ...

I use the Electro-Harmonix Hum DeBugger. Yes, it changes the sound a bit; but in some cases that is preferable to the nasty, ugly, unmusical hum. Makes single coils usable in a bad hum environment.

This is a GREAT deal! Half the price of what they were going for two years ago.

I have a bass player friend who works a lot in Branson. He says everyone asks about how to get work there.

You have to be there, and have your chops up to snuff.

Just like getting a gig anywhere else.

Move to Branson. Hang out. Meet other musicians. Play with other musicians. Get gigs--if you're your preparation has readied you for those opportunities. ...

Sunlight. Air.

SWR Workingman's 15 doesn't hold a candle to the Basic Black. It's way too heavy, and doesn't sound as good. The LA 15 is even worse.

If you're going to use a compressor, buy a good one, a Keeley 4-knob or a DBX rack mount. A compressor of lower quality will not make you happy. And those comps you find in multi-effects devices--li ...

What color? What model? How are the tuners? Pictures?

Get an Electro-Harmonix Hum Debugger.

Yes, it changes the sound a bit but it gets rid of the buzz.

You have to pack as if it will be run over by the UPS truck, dropped from a three-story building, and tossed down a steep canyon.

Contact Rick Aiello. He made/makes supro magnets. leilo@shentel.net

I just looked at my records. I sold a 1935 B6 for $1600 ten months ago.

Prices for Rickenbachers have been dropping on eBay. Six months ago, a 1935 would cost you $1800. Today, someone got an early '40s one for $550.

I use an RV-3 for my fender amps that don't have reverb. It puts out a decent sound.
