Your rig looks great! I bet it sounds equally nice. You've obviously got a nice headphone/practice setup that is independent of your amp, and I can appreciate that. Perhaps that is the best of all worlds... focus on best sounding playing/performing rig, and also a separate practice/headphone rig. I ...

Thanks for all the tips! I am very intrigued by the Aguilar TH350 and it's available at very reasonable cost. I have to admit that the Ampeg PF350 seems very cool for about 200 bucks less, plus it has a headphone output and an input for practicing along with iPhone or other device. I've read some ...

Very cool! Have you had any experience with the B210 or SB112? That TB153 looks pretty dang nice!

I also am impressed that they're made in the US, but yet the TH350 is sill a reasonable price point. That helps! The company looks pretty small and I perceive that there is good customer service, should the need arise. I like dependable gear, but if there's ever a problem, I'd like to have a company ...

So, I am a little perplexed about what the 'Drive' knob does on the Tone Hammer 350 (or 500). Is it a distortion effect, or what? Does the amp go from hi-fi sounding (with 'Drive' off) to Ampeg-sort-of-grind (with 'Drive' all the way up)? I have no known local place to try it, so I am leaning on ...

Of those two, I think the TH350 would certainly meet my needs. It looks about as plain and simple as can be. Any consensus on Avatar cabinets? I am particularly interested in their 1x12 or 2x10 cabs. An Aguilar cab plus the TH350 would be beyond my budget. I am, after all, also buying a brand new ...

Hello.

I departed for the gu***r world for a while, but I've come to my senses and switching back to bass. Please forgive me! I plan to buy a new 4003 with the gu***r funds, but I have no amp. I plan to play at home and with friends in small jams at first, with hope of relatively small/medium gigs ...

I installed toasters in my 330 tonight. Wow, what a simple job that was! Start to finish was <30 minutes, and I went very slowly. The toasters sound GREAT in my 330! Now my two Rics (620 w/high gains and 330 w/toasters) sound VERY different from each other and I have an even more diverse pallete of ...

Why would this make a difference?

I ordered a JB2... YAY!

Both guitars have the newest version of high gains.

I've got a 620 and a 330, both with high gain pickups. I ordered a pair of new toasters through the Ric Boutique and they arrived today. My question is... which guitar should I try them in? I was thinking the 330, but now I'm not so sure. Hmm... Any preference?

Also, I've never changed pickups in a ...

I have been doing some research and stumbled across the Genz Benz Black Pearl 30. Now, this amp looks interesting as an AC15/AC30 alternative. It's got 4xEL84 power tubes and 12AX7's in the preamp and phase inverter, plus a 5AR4 rectifier. It can switch to running only 2xEL84 for half power (15 ...

Interesting observations. Hmmm. I wonder if the tube rectifier in the AC15H1TV has much to do with it sounding better, or if it's just better constructed overall.

Here's my '08 620FG 6-string. FG sure seems to be a popular finish option for this model!
