If you're just starting out, i.e. practically broke... get a solid... solid state/transistors/diodes aka not tubes ( or their archaic artsy name valves) They're cheaper, and usually lighter weight to carry around. You can find them in any brand name... Marshall, Vox, Fender, and even Mesa Boogie -- known for their big (and expensive $1000+) tube amps -- all have solid state amps. The lower wattage amps run anywhere from a starting price of @$50-70 dollars for a smaller practice amp, up to a few hundred for larger wattage amps for small clubs. You can also find off brand names like Electar, Epiphone that have 30 watt tube amps for under $300, and Fender & Carvin has some nice smaller tube amps @ $500. The catch of course is that they (tube amps) tend to be a bit more delicate. The tubes are made of GLASS! and once they heat up working, have to cool down gently!!!!!! Don't end the show and pack them in the car in the wintertime!!! Busted glass tubes will make you cry in more ways than one. While it's hard for the "average guy" to hear the difference in tube vs. solid state... There are many who swear that tubes sound better, louder, warmer, sweeter... all subjective terms but I tend to agree. I got an engineering guy at my church who was a radio engineer and worked in both tubes and transistors and he says you can make them both do the same thing.... Your best bet is to go to different stores, and either play them yourself side by side or let the store clerk play for you... some do like to do that. ask questions... read more of the follow ups on this site, and others (harmony-central is another user review website) read the trade magazines. Don't buy something you don't need because a salesman wants to get a raise or because Roger Van Flashy Hentrick plays it exclusively. If you want something funny and cheap, but doesn't sound too awful bad check out the "pignose" brand of travel/practice amps... not the best in the world, but they're good at what they do. For that matter, I used to have an old rockman "pocket amp" that was obviously transistors (it looked like a sony cassette walkman) but through those headphones sounded like an arena full of Boston. Good luck and HAVE FUN PLAYING....otherwise why do it?

1972 100 watt marshall
I am having trouble getting a good warm crunchy sound. I have tried an mxr distortion + and a boss super overdrive. Sound is too high end even with the mid and treble turned down. I am looking for a Jerry Cantrell or Zakk Wylde crunch. Is it time to check out a digital pre amp? Also, I have emg pickups and have el34's in the amp. Thanks.
Re: 1972 100 watt marshall
I have the same amp, bought it new. has a sticker that says "super lead" over the word "bass" on the chassis. That amp has no master volumn control. The only way to use it is all the way up, which is crazy. That's a great amp but you need to install a master volumn. Did i mention? you need to install a master volumn control.

I have a Ventures Mosrite Bass that I need to sell. I have owned for over thirty yrs. I have scoured the internet this morning trying to find a site that has this bass and a price to go with it without success. I need to sell it, but don't want to be ripped off. You got a offer and some kind of back up that's it's a fair offer? let me know. By the way, no case.

fender/gibson/aftermarket
I wish people would stop putting aftermarket parts on their guitars...it decreases the value of said item, and it makes the ones that are 100% factory more expensive!

Boss metal zone
I just got a metal zone....i'm trying to find the the best setting for all out metal..can anyone help
Re: Boss metal zone
Try this out bro. I'm playin an ibanez rg1570 and with the metal zone set as follows it sounds incredible:
Put the low dial at 11o'clock, put the high all the way up, put the outside mid at 1 o'clock, put the inside mid at 11 o'clock, and crank the distortion all the way up. If your guitar sounds anything like mine this will offer you an awesome sound for metal. Peace.
Re: Boss metal zone
well man this is what i have on mine :
low - 3 o'clock
high - 12 o'clock
middle - 12 o'clock
mid freq - 3 o'clock
dist - on max.

CD Play-along wiring woes
I have an older Marshall amp that does not have a CD Play-along input. I thought it was a cool idea so I went to radio shack and bought some jacks and a project box. I wired the two 1/4" mono jacks together (correctly) for in and out for the guitar. I then installed a 1/8" stereo jack. I wired the sleeve and tip terminals of it to the tip terminal of the output jack and the ring terminal to the ring terminal of the output jack. Sounds good so far. When I plug the output tp the amp and plug the guitar into the 1/4" input, the guitar plays fine. When I plug the CD player into the 1/8" jack the CD plays fine, but you can't hear the guitar at all. I thought the amplified signal from the CD player may be overpowering the guitar so I put a little RCA/1/8" adapter together and used an unamplified CD changer. The result was the same.
Anybody got any ideas as to what the problem may be? I thought about adding a resistor between the stereo jack and the output, but I don't know how to select it or if it would fix things.
HELP!

diff between gibson es-335 reissue and gibson es-335 dot
Can anyone explain to me the major and subtle differences between the es-335 reissue and the es-335 dot, both by Gibson not epiphone????
Thanks so much. I've tried searching google, but can't seem to find much info...
Re: diff between gibson es-335 reissue and gibson es-335 dot
I believe the difference is that the dot has no sound holes---I think !
