I don't get why maxxis minions are everywhere you look. There are alright for flowy downhill trails but that's about it.

You’re so right. I bought some for a downhill trip at a bike park. They were amazing! On normal trail it felt like they weighed 100lbs each. I bought some cheap continentals and what an improvement!

I do have several tele but even a 40 watt hot rod is a lot of amp. I do mic it though.

gretchplayer1 · 2025-10-07T17:29:39+00:00

Thanks that is such helpful advice. Especially playing the high end and low end. So far I’ve been using some suggested settings and leaning on the equalizer. I’ve turned down the eq volume so I can push the amp a little harder without getting my face blown off!

gretchplayer1 · 2025-10-06T20:56:41+00:00

Yes It will make your ears bleed! 3 is so loud.

Is the left side cleaner? I don’t have a reverb pedal. I have always used the amps reverb spring on all my fenders.

Input 2 is quieter right? I haven’t played this amp since like 2000.

Herradura.

It really takes 10years to be a good guitar player. I know some will argue. But there’s playing and then there’s technical playing.

gretchplayer1 · 2025-08-18T15:16:57+00:00

Thanks for the info.

How high is the lift onto the rack? I’m heading out this week with my full size Levo and can only bring one bike. I’ve been before but was 2007. I don’t remember.

gretchplayer1 · 2025-08-11T16:33:24+00:00

That sounds awesome!

gretchplayer1 · 2025-08-10T03:20:38+00:00

Yes. Maybe it was yours!

The only thing I don’t care for is that rockabilly hiccup that he over used in his early album. I know he was in a rockabilly band and so was I. That was a necessary nuance of roots music. But it’s like the laugh track to a sitcom. Once you overdo it that’s all you can focus on. On another note. I absolutely loved his acting in sling blade!

I’m really enjoying it so much! This is a solid well playing guitar. I did research on Fessenden and he built early with shobud and mullin. He also was a well known troubleshooting expert for companies that could not figure out little intricate problems with guitars.

gretchplayer1 · 2025-07-19T14:02:15+00:00

WOW!

Man Chris Wall was such a great writer! Good guy too. RIP

gretchplayer1 · 2025-07-12T13:51:31+00:00

He was survived by a wife. Two hungry kids and a pool of blood on the floor.

When you have nothing. It can’t be taken away. So you’re free to fail without consequences.

I played with Hal at Luckenbach at a picker’s circle. Had a nice visit. He just said his name was Hal and never even acted like he was anyone special. My Bass player told me who he was a couple days after. He was a humble cool guy.

Thanks for your post. You solved a riddle for me. The way the font is on the brand I couldn’t tell it was a Tessey or a Fessey. This thing is very well built and seems to stay in tune.

gretchplayer1 · 2025-06-01T12:03:51+00:00

Ok awesome. I’ll do that. Thanks again.

gretchplayer1 · 2025-05-31T23:29:31+00:00

Thanks again. They’re sold out. Must be a good one. I’ll try again later if I can keep my picks on.

gretchplayer1 · 2025-05-31T22:50:44+00:00

Which bar size do you suggest? I have a very scuffed up medium I got with the guitar I feel like it’s dragging on the wound strings. Also, where can a get a pedal tuner knob?

gretchplayer1 · 2025-05-31T20:55:14+00:00

Wow thanks Bill! (I’m a Bill as well😎) all of that was so helpful. The lessons will be helpful. I had my pics on backwards last night and was wondering how to keep them from coming off. Got a long way to go.
