Re: Thinking of Modifying Your Gretsch 5120
I can definitely attest to how great the 5120 is, and how FUN it is to modify it! Mine gets brought out to every other gig (just because I like to rotate a few of them) and last time I played it, I put it down after the first set until a bunch of girls in the front row were yelling at me to "pi...

Re: Bridging The Gap
This bit of kit has many fans and endorsements, including Brian Setzer himself. Money well-spent, IMO. To be fair, all we know for sure is that Brian BOUGHT some Tru-Arc bridges. I've never seen him using one. He played the Montreal Jazz festival after having received his bridges... But the stock t...

Re: Upgraded my 5120 with TVJones TV Classics!
Two gigs last week with this guitar all night (usually I switch it up halfway through just for fun, but I kept the Gretsch all night).
One more tomorrow, one next Friday (plenty of pics should arise) and a benefit gig on the Tuesday after that!

Upgraded my 5120 with TVJones TV Classics!
About a year and a half ago, I bought the budget Gretsch, the 5120. I liked it a lot, the one thing that I found weird was that the pickups sounded more like Gibson styled pickups than Gretsch, but it didn't bother me much, Being a fan of that thick humbucker sound, but knew that someday I would upg...

Re: Happy 21st Birthday to Nick Cormier
Hey Nick, Have a great birthday mate. I don't how you find the time for all the stuff you do. I must say it would be nice to be young again (and know what I know today of course). Enjoy. I am looking forward to the release of your CD. Hopefully that will be soon? Not likely, we're SLOW at recording...

Re: Something even more rare than a Bantar or Banjoline?
Medium, medium-rare at most.wittyair wrote:Why? What would you call it?
In reality, when I think of rare, I think of an instrument that is part of a short run, if there's only 1, then it's a one-off. In my skewed mind anyways... haha

Re: Where are the MIDs?
The mids are between the highs and the lows, though some amps don't have mid knobs, so I understand your confusion

Re: Drop "D" tuner for 4003
Steve: Most good tuners have a function for a single or double flatted tuning which will certainly allow for drop D. Boss is one manufacturer that does. I hope I have understood your question correctly. A Drop D tuner goes on your bass. You replace your tuner for your low E string with the Drop D t...

to be fair, those are pretty ugly regardless of paint... a bit of a low point in Rickenbackers design history.

The most anticipated gig of the year!
The parents are coming home from Kuwait on the 19th, and that very night, we're playing at a chill little bar downtown, to celebrate in style! On top of that, the gig will mostly be filmed, because we're appearing in a documentary a bout the blues, and how it links our generation to past generations...

Re: Eric Clapton
At least one Louisiana radio plays the softer, acoustic version of "Layla" at least once a week, but when I first heard the harder-edged, jammed out original version of "Layla" by The Dominoes, I'm blown away at what an amazing riff is played. To me, the highlight of the whole a...
