Sorry if this question has been asked already! Mine was a black Satellite Les Paul copy, bought in 1979 from a local tobacconists that also sold a range of cheap guitars. The body was a sort of plywood although you couldnt tell because of the thick black finish, the neck was a bolt on but...

I just got my first tube amp, ...and I'm loving it! Tone baby! Anyway, ...my previous amp was a line6 flextone III, so I was used to having quite a bit of versatility at my disposal, ...but honestly didn't use more than 4-6 presets. In looking at pictures of people's rigs on here, I gotta...

If you have a FP and/or BFP, Id like to ask a favor please. Take close up high rez photos of the largest continuous areas of the fabric/paper. (Below or next to the trem area and backshots are probably the best bets.) Multiple shots would be awesome. One full frontal and rear would also be...

Hi Folks, I bought a Peavey Valve King 112 (50 watt) about a month ago... and I'm loving the thing. I have a few basic, tube-amp questions since this is my first tube-amp, and I'm starting to think about the longitivity of the tubes. My playing scenario: I live in a small apartment and never...

Hi dudes and dudettes- I'm just wonderin... A) How much effect does the AMOUNT of preamp tubes (e.g. 12AX7) affect your sound? What if your using a multi effects machine before the amp? B) How much of a sound difference will there be between an amp with say 4 12AX7 preamp tubes & 4 6L6GC power...

i bought this from a forum member here (check my trading point on here) back in the summer and decided that i need a better amp more than this guitar. Even though it is one of the best feeling/sounding/looking guitar i've ever had, i've always had a thing for Flying V's. comes with Ibanez...

1991 BFP. I think this is one of the most underrated Jems, maybe because it's not quite as garish as some (not that I object to that). Went to try it out yesterday. All original aside from tone/vol knobs (the originals are in the case, but the paint has come off). Headstock has a few very small...

I am thinking about buying a JEM to add to my collection but am curious about a few things. How is the quality of the production JEMs compared to the ones that Vai actually plays. Does he play a special one? Also do you guys think they are reliable guitars and quality built ones also? How would...

What do you guys recommend for the volume and tone pot? Based on the Ibanez RG schematics, they come with stock linear taper 500Kohm volume pots and audio/log taper 500Kohm tone pots. Any difference using the audio taper pot for the volume control?

is this a scam or just a fake? Item number: 190152686468

Crazy question: WHY oh WHY are ZR trems only on S models ? Check it out: ZR Vs. Any other ibanez trem. Ball bearing Vs. knife and post gnawing away at eachother. Zero Point Vs. Very small theoretical chance of returning to neutral Zero Point Vs. Huuuuuge problem on light string breaks Zero...

It is with great pleasure that I announce to you the girth of my new arrival (same girth as the other jems). It came in weighing many pounds.
