    JCM 800 problem kind of

    When I'm using my JCM 800 I can't seem to get the thing to go louder when I use an overdrive pedal as a boost. It just gets more overdriven but not louder. Other than employing a tech to stand there and turn it up and down through out each song what options do you recomend?????????

    Number One's

    Is there a difference between your favourite guitar and the one that gets played the most? My number one is my Green Custom and always will be but for the band I'm in at the moment I tend to use the Classic, Cherry Standard and 335 more often. Does this mean my number one is no longer number...

    Two head's are better than one?

    IS it possible to run two heads through one cab? I have a JCM 800 and an SLP 100w re-issue and run them both through a mid nineties marshall 4x12 cab and would like to be able to use a line selector switch to switch between the two for different sounds etc etc but don't like the idea of...

    JCM 900's

    I play in two bands. In one band I use a Marshall 100w SLP and is miced up and used in larger venues and so isn't a problem at all. The other band however usually plays in much smaller venues where I have to use the powerbreaker and it loses some of it's tone. I also sometimes use a JCM 800 2203...

    That first gig.......

    I recently bought an '89 Cherry 335 Dot and tonight was my first gig with it. I love the feeling of using a new axe for the first time live. I'm really really happy with it. It was very ballsy and responsive, loud enough to rock, subtle enough to use as a strummer when i rolled the volume down...

    If I had a wife.....

    ...... she'd f**king kill me! Just bought another guitar. Since getting the Casino the other week I'm getting the semi bug!! Here's "The Wizard". 1989 335 dot in cherry. Hardly ANY scratches or dings, the binding is aging nicely as is the nickel, plays superb, the neck is really chunky, great...

    Casino's

    What's everyone's view on Casino's round here? Just picked up a 1995 USA one and think it's quite a nice little guitar. Great strummer but still bites if you push it.

    R8's

    I'm a little confused. I was talking to a guy in the local guitar store and I asked him if I could try an R8 which they'd just got in. He said it wasn't an R8 but it was a '58 re-issue. It was a VOS and that they are different to R8's. Am I being stupid or him???? I always thought an LPR-8...

    It's arrived. Love it.

    I mentioned in a previous post about buying this off eBay. Got it today. 60's neck plays sweet, sounds fantastic, perfect Les Paul sound, 2003, nickel hardware slightly aged, gonna get my tech to give it a once over and re-string it but all in all an absolute keeper. Couldn't be happier. Gonna...

    New Les Paul Standard

    No sooner had I just welcomed my new Black Standard than I just saw this little beauty on eBay. Just did the BIN. Should be collecting it on Friday. What sort of top does this have???? Always wanted a sunburst standard in a nice shade of cherry, now I'm living the dream. This GAS is...
