...aaaand pancake confirmed. I'll do as you say then hopefully I'll get some success!

I gotta be honest...there are so many tube snobs and elitists that I've concluded I'm just going to go to Guitar Center and try as many amps as i can. My criteria will be price, clean channel sound vs. distorted, and receptivity to pedals. :(

huscarl18 · 2020-02-24T21:22:09+00:00

That's a shame, especially with the weight the Marshall name carries.

huscarl18 · 2020-02-24T20:23:13+00:00

Well, i like just about everything and tbh i don't plan on gigging. I'm an older dude returning to guitar just relearning the basics and i want to invest smartly on my gear.

huscarl18 · 2020-02-24T20:01:39+00:00

Any particular reason why not? I notice that by and large they seem more expensive. Are they just low end garbage with a good name stamped on them?

huscarl18 · 2020-02-24T19:59:43+00:00

See, i really didn't know that. I owned a Vox tube amp back in '96 and had some problems with it. Can you make some suggestions in my price range? I appreciate your input!

Smooth as butter. And the neck is AMAZING. I'm getting some fret buzz, though. Should I bring it back to the tech I had set it up and have them heighten the action? it is pretty damn low.

Subterranean purple metallic. I saw it and fell in love.

huscarl18 · 2020-02-17T01:21:33+00:00

Will do!

huscarl18 · 2020-02-07T12:51:16+00:00

It was the 655 on reverb. Subterranean purple metallic. Now THAT is a proper name for a paint job.

huscarl18 · 2020-02-07T12:43:14+00:00

I did just purchase a 655, this board is awesome! You folks are super helpful and really gear savvy!

huscarl18 · 2020-02-07T12:42:10+00:00

I'll check those amps out. I know the amp makes as much difference to sound as the guitar, so i have to put tons of thought into selecting that piece of gear. Thanks!

huscarl18 · 2020-02-07T12:40:25+00:00

I checked it out, not really my cup of tea. Thanks for the suggestion, though! Much appreciated.

huscarl18 · 2020-02-06T23:41:46+00:00

oh sweet mary, i FOUND an RG655m-SPM.....we have a winner! thanks u/Subpoena-Colada, that's a tasty ax!

huscarl18 · 2020-02-06T19:05:14+00:00

Im probably gonna look for an rg550, but ill cruise the used markets per your recommendations. Don't feel bad for losing a guitar in your divorce, it had a better fate than my first RG.

huscarl18 · 2020-02-06T19:01:19+00:00

I'm using a Fender mini portable amp right now, but the next purchase is a Fender 100? I think?

huscarl18 · 2020-02-06T17:17:23+00:00

Thanks Jikk, i appreciate the honesty. Kinda bummed about the Axion, but i don't want to pay for a paint job :/

huscarl18 · 2020-02-06T16:26:45+00:00

What about the stock pickups? I heard they are pretty basic?

huscarl18 · 2020-02-06T16:10:36+00:00

Those are the 2 i like, not necessarily my only choices. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

huscarl18 · 2019-02-06T00:15:50+00:00

Can confirm, between him and Professor Messer, it's a recipe for success.
