See and hear it here. http://www.youtube.com/MrDarinWarren This is a rare Mary Kay model with birds eye maple neck. I have looked, just to see, and I haven't seen another one like this since I bough it 8 years ago. Excellent cond. Paid $1100. Will sacrifice for $600 out of...

Growing up, Cort had a bad name in my circles. But I never actually played one. I'd be willing to check them out. Ricky Garcia from these parts, and Jemfest performer is currently an endorser of Cort guitars. Anyone have one of these babies?

I was looking at the classified on the Jemsite here. And I started thinking and wondering. There was a day, oh, it started back in high school I suppose. When I believed pretty much what other people said about guitars and amps. So I'd pass that information on to other unsuspecting dupes...

Hey everybody. Im fairly new here, and I just figured I would see who uses a marshall jmp-1. Personally I love that preamp. I just got one new a week ago. Its my third one over the years. Every time I decide I want something different, I always end up going back to the marshall. Funny too, I...

So how many of you guys have Ibanez endorsements? I noticed Ibanez-Mag does! (AMAZING player by the way: v ) Anyone have other manufacture endorsements as well?

Well, another Musikmesse 2006 has passed by alot things to see and alot of sounds to hear. This year wasn't as good as last year though. More and more chinese, korean etc. companies are part of the messe. It won't be long until they can fill their own hall completely. Now for the different...

Just curious to know if any regulars (past or present) have moved on to super (or semi-super) - stardom.

Hiya guys, I know it's been a while since I have been here; Running the business is taking up almost every waking hour, and has done for a long time. I have tried in vain to get things going for Jemfest UK; but my schedule and location (away from london now) means that putting things into...

I've had the latest Rusty's cd for about 6 months, i checked out then and i honestly didn't pay him enough atention, so i decided to check it out once again in this days...I listen all the songs at least three times, and im sorry to say this, and ill be probably be hated for many people, but...

Is there any JEM type activities going on in Frankfurt at Messe time? I will be shackled to a booth daytime, but could use a drink and jam afterwards. Look for me in the TCS Audio booth. Hall 4.1 booth L73 I'm Bill! The Musikmesse is like a NAMM show on steroids, except the public is invited on...

Hey everyone. I'd like to know how you guys/girls practice from day to day. Do you have a special practice regime? I'm currently working on the book "Speed mechanics for lead guiatar" by Troy Stetina. I think the book is really great and has alot of good exercises in it. I've said to myself "...

What are they big differences between the Peavey XXX & the 5150II heads? The only thing I've noticed so far is... 1. The XXX has 3 12AX7 tubes, but the 5150II has 6 12AX7s. 2. The XXX has 3 footswitchable channels, but the 5150II only has 2. Is there anything I'm missing? Which one is better...
