  1. RIP to the “Sixth Member” of Aerosmith (as stated by Perry for a long time). He was a no-nonsense producer who understood mics and how to get a good sound from a band. Old school…he believed if it sounded great it was great, even if things like the tempo varied. JD was a key part of the golden era of recording. I would have loved to have met him. He seemed like a cool guy in interviews.
  2. Dang. $25 grand. I do love The Humbler, but on electric.
  3. Since December 2025, I have purchased two incredibly impeccable Hamers (Tally and a Monaco2) that were very expensive but worth every penny. Did I pay too much? Maybe, but I don’t think so. One was ANOS and the other was an EXTREMELY rare Hamer. Both New Hartford craftsmanship at its best. I’d do it again tomorrow, they are that good. Only 0006 is safe…
  4. Damn. @DarkHammer is right. BUY IT BACK NOW!
  5. I LOVE orange guitars . But 10k…NFW. But then again, they aren’t making any more are they??? So glad 0006 scratches that itch.
  6. Those are all awesome, and that sonic blue looking Blitz is over the top perfect!
  7. That was very cool. Articulate and clear production. Singer can bring it. Great band.
  8. Collins used the whammy bar a lot, especially live. Ed King did as well on his Strat.
  9. Those Vegas are supposed to be the absolute shit! People rave about them. Let us know what you think when you get to try it out.
  10. Ha! I was referring to the “bird” pickups, @RobB!
  11. Badassery. Has the Jetson’s space-age look. Are those TV Jones pickups?
  12. Rumor has it that it was his Firebird playing the solos on Parachute Woman off “Beggar’s Banquet”. And that Jagger screams “Dave” right before the main solo. Sure sounds like a ‘bird. He was considered to replace Brian.
  13. A light T51 is a lovely guitar…an improved Telecaster. I loved the one I had. Should have never let it go. This seller doesn’t want to sell. So it appears.
  14. I LOVE SROs….King of the Alnicos! I found this somewhat confusing…I have always red that SRV was all about Super Reverbs, Vibroverbs,etc. mixed with a Marshall. When I saw his exhibit at the Grammy museum there was also a tweed Bassman and a plexi stack that was beat to crap. I didn’t know he played through a Twin Reverb. And the EVs I heard he liked were 12Ls…or so I apparently wrongly assumed. Further, Tommy Shannon went on record saying that SRV fell immediately in love with JB’s Dumble and recorded all tracks on Texas Flood through “Mother Dumble” straight in…. SRV was so very good. I refused to play a Strat for 20 years because every time I did, all I would do is play his licks and emulate him. And that didn’t happen on any other guitar and I wanted to craft my own sound. Now I grab a Strat and launch into his songs and just giggle. I’m able to do it now.
  15. I agree…that particular era of Leakesville-built Peaveys are really good.
  16. Lots of choices out there. If you need another let me know as a friend just gifted me a new nitro finished cab in Pacific Peach with the leather dogbone.
  17. @alantig beat me to it….
