July 12, 20187 yr And that automatic tuner On that LP Jr is garbage, no wonder everybody hates it. It does get the guitar in tune, but takes twice as long as if I did myself. In fact, one of the reasons I don't pick it up more is because I don't have the patience to wait for it. Otherwise it's an unbelievably fun guitar to play. My favorite part of the laborious restringing process on the robotuner is when the battery dies halfway through and I get to take a 2 hour break.I really like the Tronical tuner otherwise (I passed on buying a 2018 HP recently because homeboy removed the auto-tuner, replaced it with Grovers, but no longer has the robotuner to include. No gracias.) but restringing isn't the reason for the season.

July 13, 20187 yr For the record, I was just talking about the old school handle thing with a screw in it, not an electronic gizmo. The poors can't afford that shit. But I need to wind fast to get the wind set right.

July 13, 20187 yr My bad. It was late, and I was bleeding.I just thought you might have been replacing your amp strings.

July 13, 20187 yr To AUTFs point, it’s all the same people in both threads anyhow. Same with the pedals.
July 13, 20187 yr Land and expand. Long game, this becomes a message board mostly to talk about guitar shit. Special subforum for drummers.
July 13, 20187 yr Lol. Then I'll step aside and get out the way of your empire creation my friend. I, for one, welcome our new Celery guitar overlord.

July 16, 20187 yr The Tower of Power™ is complete. The Alpha (JTM45) and the Omega (Astoria). The amp that started it all (and still a wonder) and the amps that contain everything Marshall learned in the intervening 60 years. I added a THD Hot Plate to the Twin Reverb, too, because I don't play in a stadium. (The Twin and the Fenders on the right are spaced out a bit more since this photo.) I'm running out of room, fam. the last thing on my list is to move the Super Champ into my son's room, and replace it with a Deluxe of some flavor. Turns out Sweetwater had some Stage 2 Rivera models made of the Custom Deluxe but are currently and indefinitely unavailable. They come up from time to time on Reverb, but at collector pricing. It'd be nice to cap the collection off with something like that. Otherwise, maybe an Alessandro or even a stock Custom. It probably depends on how good a deal I find on one or the other the quickest. Then I'm done! Maybe. Edited July 16, 20187 yr by BoomMF
July 17, 20187 yr I had it shipped to my buddy's place (the guy who had to put down his dog). I'll be playing it next weekend. He also said the Barber Gain Changer was awesome and literally bought his own today.
July 17, 20187 yr ^^^ Yes. He said it's badass and that running it with his extension cab (2x10) takes it up to another level of glory.

July 17, 20187 yr South Austin Guitar Center has a Princeton RI for $500 and a Princeton Custom for $600. That RI is a killer deal.

They aren't on the website. Either somebody snapped them up, or they haven't been listed yet. Edited July 17, 20187 yr by DougO
July 17, 20187 yr Probably haven't been listed, yet. They have to wait 30 days to make sure they aren't stolen. Sometimes they wait to list.

July 18, 20187 yr Hmm. I probably won’t buy the Princeton since I’m actively saving for other things (honeymoon not guitars :,( ), but tempting. you have my blessing autf
July 18, 20187 yr 4 hours ago, BoomMF said: They were both there as of 2 hours ago. Might be very new arrivals. They had one listed in Houston, but when I clicked on it "page no longer existed."
July 18, 20187 yr My buddy found an extension cab with a 12" Celestion Creamback for $95 on Craigslist. I'm thinking either get the cabinet re-covered in something cool or build a new one entirely. It's just particleboard or cheap plywood. $95 was an ok deal for just the speaker tho.
July 19, 20187 yr Supro 1696RT Black Magick Reverb Combo Amplifier Opinions please.... https://suprousa.com/1696rt-black-magick-reverb/ Edited July 19, 20187 yr by noharleyyet

July 22, 20187 yr @BoomMF How do you like the Blues JR Tweed? I'm a long way from buying anything but I'd like to get a low wattage amp for playing in the house.
