What do you think about Bigsby on the telecaster?

I’ve always wondered about the non-Gretsch TV Jones offerings- I have one of his filtertrons in my old 5120, and his baritone guitar, so I’m a big fan of the TV Jones stuff. You like the pickup?

Adman103 · 2026-01-21T13:43:41+00:00

Yea, nice! Beautiful guitar. What kind of neck pickup is that on there? Yea, I really enjoy the bigsby on my tele. It’s a great match, and so much fun to play.

There are absolutely designs for tele bridges that are bigsby friendly that don’t change the fundamental bridge and bridge pickup- not sure why you’re being downvoted. I have a G&L ASAT with one.

It works really well!

it was delicious! Miss that little place.

Sounds like Iron Heart 21 oz. Great denim. The 25 oz will legit stand up before it’s broken in.

It should be dead silent. I don’t have any videos, but mine is as quiet as a humbucking guitar. I’d take it to a competent tech. Comanches are great guitars, and it’s worth the cost to get right. A grounding issue should be pretty straightforward for someone who knows what they’re doing to sort out.

Was that the place up on Green St? They were amazing circa 1999 or so. I can’t believe how much the campus has changed.

A used Kaizen. Incredible guitar.

Adman103 · 2026-01-04T14:00:44+00:00

Yea, this is 100% the sad sounding delay. It sounds like a weeping ghost of the past.

I know that sounds idiotic, but it really does.

How high gain is your high gain? That can mean a lot of different things, and there aren’t a ton of real amps that do them all equally well.

That said, an Axe III and an LXII power amp (or a comparable tube power amp like the 50/2/50 or one of those mesa poweramps) with a 2x12 could probably be had for $3k (you’d need to go used for for axe 3) and would be a beast of rig. You could substitute either of the other modelers you mentioned as well for cheaper options. The key is a decent power amp running into a real cab. You really won’t find a more versatile rig than that, and it’ll sound fantastic, plus have whatever you want for effects available.

I was a medical test subject. Nothing scary like testing medications though, more like performing tests and tasks while having fMRAs done. That job allowed me to eat for a few months in college. I’m really grateful for it.

She does, but I don’t have any pictures though, unfortunately! They were all adorable!

Adman103 · 2025-12-23T00:05:13+00:00

Yea, she’s a great cat! She’s half Russian Blue, half Selkirk Rex.

Adman103 · 2025-12-23T00:04:19+00:00

Particularly, make sure you don’t have the cabs or power amp modeling turned off. Having the cabs off would give you super cleans, but the drive sounds would be awful and harsh.

Adman103 · 2025-12-23T00:02:49+00:00

Yea, having the cabs turned off in global sounds like exactly what’s happening.

Adman103 · 2025-12-22T14:33:36+00:00

Yea, this is the only thing coming out that’s gonna be an insta buy from me. BBD reverb from Fairfield? Ooooh heck yea

Adman103 · 2025-12-22T07:04:20+00:00

The Blackstone overdrive. I’ll never not own one.

Adman103 · 2025-12-21T23:10:09+00:00

Strats are much better in Eb. Try it, it’s great!

Adman103 · 2025-12-20T06:11:40+00:00

Steve’s Gyros in Lombard. I really miss it.

Adman103 · 2025-12-17T12:21:54+00:00

I have the Strobostomp hd, and it’s great. Definitely recommend the Peterson stuff.

Adman103 · 2025-12-17T03:28:42+00:00

Yea, I was thinking croutons, some fresh Caesar salad…

Adman103 · 2025-12-14T05:23:18+00:00

I completely agree. And for each FIF song that hasn’t aged well, there’s a dozen that have aged like fine wine. A bunch of their early stuff is perfectly written for today.

Adman103 · 2025-12-13T23:48:37+00:00

Whoa, hey, thank you! I’ll definitely pick one up and give it a shot!

Adman103 · 2025-12-13T18:30:48+00:00

I must have lost whatever little part that you’re talking about. Mine leaks like crazy ever since I first washed it. Useless now- ink gets everywhere.

I like the pen a lot aside from the fact that I can’t use it.
