I have seen so many people go to extreme lengths for what ends up being a relatively modest to imperceptible loss of noise. Some people also swear it really helps with single coils, which isn't really possible.

Google says he moved there in the 1990s. I had no idea either.

What exactly is special about those pickups compared to the ones they offer now? Or it is so that the guitar can be "all original" again even though it's not?

Just saw this on another forum, and it's a really good read. Larry makes some great pickups, and also does have a gift for writing. I love hearing about his "war stories" from the old days. Remembering Ace Frehley Larry DiMarzio talks with Ace's tech, Rocco Monterosso,  recalling Ace's gear...

Pretty sure she's been at the music thing for more like 15 years. She was a child actress, and rather than get chewed up by Hollywood, she's been touring and recording with her band. The band has toured with the AC/DC, Guns N' Roses, Soundgarden (when Chris Cornell passed away), Halestorm, and...

I remember reading Sammy Hagar writing about how badly Michael Anthony was treated once he was booted in favor of Wolfgang. I don't blame Wolfgang though, as he saw it as a way to actually be with his father and keep him away from alcohol, drugs, etc. But yeah, the interview detailed how Michael...

Speaking of which... Dumble is back? Apparently they are going to start making clones of certain famous Dumble amps under the Dumble name? They better not think they are gonna get 30K an amp if it isn't made by the man himself.

Not really. Just seems like a great guy. I can see why Randy Rhoads wanted him in the Ozzy Band so much. Too bad Ozzy punched him because of some shit DuBrow said. Anyway, that singer has that sound DOWN. He's also 23, so hopefully he won't get sucked into the crap that so many other metal...

It really does nail that "Eliminator" tone, and probably earlier. That kind of "blocked" sound that almost clips out and is so nice and raw. I don't know if I have any pedals or amps that can really get that kind of sound, but being a big ZZ top fan, I want it. I wonder if this pedal will be...

Can't find anything about it, but wouldn't surprise me. Maybe it got mixed up with Pink Floyd being in a car and just deciding to not pick up Syd Barrett. That was another very strange exit, mainly because Barrett had pretty much become a space cadet by then, totally out of touch with reality.

I need to watch that. The closest thing I have seen to a QR doc is the Randy Rhoads doc, which pretty much covers all of Quiet Riot until Rhoads joined up with Ozzy. Even from that you can gather that Kevin DuBrow was a freakin self-obsessed #*$(#)*$. Hopefully this new guy works out. Worked...

I have never understood the point of the "buyer's premium". Does not having it as part of the hammer price actually make them more money? 

Oh boy, I am sure there is no connection, but just thinking of his recent health scare. I still remember when he was on American Pickers, and they were going through his collection. Looking through the guitars, this might result in the highest selling Gibson "Zoot Suit" SG ever. I was really...

Oh boy, hopefully he gets proper and complete medical care STAT. Even much younger people can be done in by severe respiratory infections.

I mean, there is another Marshall right next to it. Not sure how they were hooked up. They did bring up another amp from behind though. Guess they had to recalibrate everything.
