i have a red with a white sparkling diamond pickguard 97 limited edition fender stratocastor perfect condition just wondeing how much it is worth??

:i have a granada guitar made in finland. the serial number is 178463, i would like to know how much it is worth.

I have a Hondo 2 Professional bass to sell . I've had it since about 1982 and its still in Great condition . How much do you think its worth ?

I saw it in a guitar center sale ad. It's called "G-VOX". You get the pickup which trnaslates it to midi for your computer. And software. The system is meant for notating your guitar playing, but I believe it can be used as a virtual guitar synth. You may not like you computer's midi interface, so you'll have to buy a higher quality one if you want. I haven't had a chance to buy this, but I'm going to and then I'm gonna use my Yamaha keyboard as the midi interface for my guitar. I hope it works!

: Has anyone developed or is anyone developing a virtual guitar synthesizer software program? The Roland guitar synth is too expensive and cumbersome. I'd like to do everything inside my computer except for physically playing my guitar. Thanks

THE G-VOX SYSTEM WORKS GREAT.
I USE IT TO DRIVE MY EXTERNAL SYNTH, A KORG 2000.
YOU MAY NEED TO DOWNLOAD AND UPDATED THE G-VOX DRIVER
FOR YOUR COMPUTER IF YOU CAN'T GET IT TO WORK.
SYNTH SOFTWARE IS NOT A PROBLEM.
POWERTRACKS SOFTWARE IS A GREAT INEXPENSIVE WAY
OF ACCESSING SYNTH SOUNDS.
PEACE LE'JON

I own three hamer diablo's, so am a little partial to them, they do have a floating tremalo, so you must learn how to tune them, I just got of tour with front line assembly, so I am professinal. They stay in tune weel, sound good and have a neck that feels scultpted to my hands. They sound good and balanced. AS for the cons: they need to be intonated once a year (as all guitars do). They arn't an all arounf guitar, they aren't going to be a great guitar foor country, or light rock this guitar was desighned to play rock type music, As before mentioned I play in an industrial band. Go to
harmony-central.com they have reviews there. hope this helped

: What difference is there in tone between the two amps named in the heading.
: The Vibroking is 60 watts Vibrolux is 40 watts, is this the only difference?
: Pricewise the King is almost double that of the Lux so there must be something else in the equation.
: I tried a Line 6 flextone today and am astonished at the sounds possible. Help me decide! The Vibrolux or the Flextone. The Twin tone is truly amazing and with temolo switched in she's pretty close to a Vibro.

: What difference is there in tone between the two amps named in the heading. From what I've read the tone is supposed to be pretty close.
: The Vibroking is 60 watts Vibrolux is 40 watts, is this the only difference? The Vibroking is a custom shop amp, hand built w/ point to point wiring, while the Vibrolux was designed by the Custom Shop but still uses circuit board technology. Also, the Vibroking has a built in 63' reverb, w/ tone, mix, and depth knob (ie. Dick Dale surf sound), while the Vibrolux's tube reverb only has one knob to control reverb (still cool but not as far out as the 63' reverb). Also, the Vibroking has one extra 10" speaker.

Go w/ the tube Vibrolux, although the digital modelling amps sound really close and have a ton of features and applications, nothing comes close to the musicality and warmth of tubes.

I have a 100 W Klipp I am considering selling. Can someone help me with the price I should ask?

Thank you.

: : : Just looking for someone to explain how to construct chords such as D/E, E/G#, A/E, etc. I'm not sure what this type of chord is called, so I hope you know what I'm talking about. So if you can give me some background on how these chords are formed (not the specific chords I mentioned, but that type of chord in general), or if you happen to know of a place on the net or somewhere, your help would be appreciated. Thanks.

: if i understand you correctly, the first notes (D,E,A) are notes that the bass is supposed to play while the main chord instrument (guitar in your case) plays the second chord (E,G#,E). this creates chord inversions, and adds some extra flavor to the music. i have to admit though, the D/E and the A/E don't sound like they'd be too pleasing to the ear. . .

: : : Ian
The type of chords described are called polychords, shawns breakdown of these chords is correct, however a polychord may be played on one guitar by playing the first chordal triad (before the slash) on the 4th, 5th and 6th strings and the second chordal triad (after the slash) on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd strings.
The other discription of 'slash' chords is where a chord is played with a single bass note played on top. For example the opening chord of Space Oddity by David Bowie is Fmaj7/E, here the Fmaj7 chord is fretted as normal but the open E string is also strummed to give an E in the bass line. Also in the song is a C/G, again the C chord is fretted and a G on the 6th string is also fretted as the bass note. You will find with this chord that 3rd finger will fret the G note and the 4th finger will fret the C note.
This use of chords can be excellent for creating a bass line movement over either a single open chord or even a set of open chords.

: I am a beginner, as well. My wife bought me a Fender Strat Deluxe, made in Mexico, with a maple neck and gold-plated metal parts. I'm having a great time. It's been 9 weeks and I'm starting to sound musical here and there (at least, in my opinion). Yesterday, I bought a used Fender Blues Junior 15 watt amp (tweed version) cheap from a pawn shop. I replaced the 3 preamp tubes (12ax7) for $40 and it sounds great. I'm feeling all hobbyist about it and would like to try some modifications just for the experience. Any recommendations? I read a comment that somebody posted that mentioned that the reverb unit could be beefed up. Also, Weber's website has several comments re speaker upgrades but no two involved the same replacement speaker. If there are no rational tweaks to the amp, I guess that I could build a 2nd one from a kit. What about upgrades to the Strat? I've taken it apart and put it back together and am confident that I could replace any part on it. Replacement pickups? A roller bearing nut? Any suggestions?

: : : I am a beginner using a Fender Strat (Mexican) and a Squier 15G practice amp. Where should I spend my money to upgrade: an American Strat or a better amp?

: : : I can't do both right now, so I have to choose wisely.

: : Hi Kurt,

: : Mexican strats can be quite okay, if yours is I would stick to it for a while and buy a better Amp. If you just play at home I would say a small Tube amp would do best something like a Peavey classic 20, or a Fender blues junior, maybe a boogie rocket or a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 201, but these last two are more expensive and it all comes down on personal taste and what they are gonna be used for.
: : When you would decide to buy another guitar, wich is bassicly more important to learn it on then a good amp, I would say buy something different than an American standart strat because you allready got a strat (even when it's not such a good one). I'm deffenatly a strat lover, but in your case I would buy either an acoustic, a semiacoustic or when you absolutly want a solid try a good (maybe second hand) Tele.
: : I hope you can do something with the advice.

: : Yvette

: Yvette,

: Thanks for the advice. This is a new adventure for me ( I'm in my 40's ), so I appreciate the help.

: Kurt

: : : does anyone care to share with me what exact effects kurt cobain used on songs like smells like teen spirit. thank you in advance

: : boss ds-1 and some chorus and flangers

: it was actually a boss ds2 turbo distortion, a sans amp flanger and a small clone chorus
