    NAD! Fender Bassbreaker 15 LE

    They really do. I had never heard of them when I bought mine. I played a used one at GC and immediately fell in love! I wasn’t able to get a bad sound out it. Most amps have “a” sweet spot, and I fairly good at find it, but the BB15 was pretty much all sweet spot. Even the sweep of the volume...

    NAD! Fender Bassbreaker 15 LE

    I paid $550 for mine used, and it wasn’t even a special run like yours. What speaker came in that one?

    Blackstar ID:30 question on Voice Knob

    I don’t know about the Blackstar specifically, but I have a Fender Bassbreaker 15 that has three voicings on a knob. Clean, medium gain, and high gain. The volume goes up with each setting with clean being the quietest. People complained about the volume jump and lack of foot-switching for it...

    Vaporizer OR Excelsior Amp?

    Personally I would go for the vaporizer. I have a metric ton of modern and vintage Alnico “10s. Of the videos I have heard, I prefer it as well. The Ramparte is the last on my list of the Pawn Shop line.

    Are Harmony guitars any good?

    What’s your point? I have two different people taking me to task with opposite opinions. It was one post. I was defending those who like Harmony guitar. Someone else complained that they were cheap crap. You are complaining that they were expensive for their time. Some models were more...

    Are Harmony guitars any good?

    And your point is? You do know this is an “appreciation” thread, right? Most of us surely understand the history of these guitars as entry level instruments. You aren’t really informing many of us about anything we didn’t already know.

    Are Harmony guitars any good?

    Nice work! Does the $1200 include a Baxendale case as well?

    Are Harmony guitars any good?

    The H319 would be the Stella? I came up with a different model number. How much might a conversion run?

    Are Harmony guitars any good?

    I’m not sure where to start. Let me check my notes. Issues: neck warp, neck reset, replace nut, clean and work on frets. Basically everything.

    accidently discovered setup method to make strat more slinky

    As I understand it, action can also be made a bit more “slinky” by adjusting the nut. This is assuming it was a tad high originally. Not having done much nut work I can’t say this definitely, and I’m pretty sure it helps most for just the first few frets, and cowboy chords.

    Are Harmony guitars any good?

    Nic For a spray painted stenciled headstock, it is cool. The arch top is cool too! Too bad it’s currently unplayable, as it’s my only arch top so far.

    Are Harmony guitars any good?

    I don’t know anything about the modern “Harmony reboot” guitars, but I do have a few vintage Harmony made guitars. I have a ‘63 Stratotone, hollow body electric that I found at an estate sale with it’s original case. It has a weird, but nice neck and it’s by far the lightest electric I own. It...

    Identify this guitar?

    If it’s on the way somewhere, it might be worth a look. That bridge does look quite iffy to me as well.

    New Acoustic......12th fret kink (or ski jump)

    Good luck. That was a new guitar?

    Vibrato: Wrist twist or upp-downy arm motion?

    Same here. I use multiple different vibrato techniques depending on the situation. Replying here is the most time I have ever spent trying to actually analyze my vibrato technique.

    Vibrato: Wrist twist or upp-downy arm motion?

    It depends on the finger being used and the effect I am going for. When using my index finger I use the wrist. When using other fingers I tend to use an up and down motion. For adding it to bends I use up and down. Generally, for fast vibrato the wrist seems to work best. I’ve never really...

    Took me two attempts, but I finally broke up with Band #2

    It’s not something I thought I would ever say, but congratulations on leaving the band! It sounds like the right move for you, and done for the right reasons without burning bridges in the process.

    My Fly 3 doesn’t do Bluetooth, but I bought it used, so later models might offer it.
