The two mechanisms of guitar damage in shipping are crushing and angular deceleration. I've experienced both. Crushing usually affects the body. The case is most compressible over the center of...
In addition to the two channels, I like that Bud 6 has a preamp gain control (Blue does not). By turning it all the way up, you get a more saturated tone. It is not exactly tube-like, but you can't...
More body sounds appealing to me: the slightly slimmer Emperor already sounds thinner than the Zephyr. I have very little experience with pickups, jazz humbucker or otherwise, having come from a...
Some great answers here. Thanks again all. I’ll look to work on these ideas at the weekend and also check on my own SGear amp settings.
it's really hard to pick just one, but i think i'll go with Dave Brubeck Quartet - Live at Carnegie Hall
I am a big fan of the Bud 6 and I rate it on its own terms as well as in terms of portability I play principally with an Elferink (solid carved, floating pickup, roundwound strings) and it is a...

Hey guys, first post :) So I recently bought a Ibanez GB10EM that came with 0.011 gauge strings. I asked a luthier to make a new bone nut and to custom fit the floating wooden bridge to the top,...
Another option - perhaps not feasible in your situation - is to use an electric piano and load the appropriate sound fonts into it. I have a Roland RD-88 Stage Piano with the usual selection of 100s...
Long, boring response to come in the next day or so. Maybe I'll start another thread for it.
I think either of these would be sufficient enough as the PA should be doing the heavy lifting. I noticed in the photos you posted, it looked like the amp was actually in front of you? If the person...
Wow! Love everything about this. We tend to put a very fine grained top on a pedestal, but I really dig the plain, straight treeness of that one. And that tail looks like Tiffany or something....
Ibanez archtop with 0.010 Thomastik strings and...
