The Doom Room: ILF Edition

[Ancient Astronaught]

i'd honestly just say "there's someone checking it out today but you're welcome to it if that doesn't happen".

Thats my usual response. But theres one thing that CL proves to me over and over again.... The world is full of stupid people.

[John]

The most common frustration I have on CL is sellers who don't list any contact info, and who don't respond to the encrypted or whatever email. Do you want to sell this shit? Have you ever been anally raped over the telephone? If you answer Yes to the first question and No to the second, then POST A FUCKING NUMBER.

This one has been broken in already so it's better.

Also it was within 100 square miles of Eddie Van Halen once. Ups the value. I'm practicially giving this puppy away

[Ancient Astronaught]

i guess they'd think you'd try to super-lowball them if they didn't get to sell it and you had that knowledge, or something.

That could very well be it, people who have enver worked retail have very skewed outlooks on how to sell stuff...

I did get some heavy metal stuff tho



Note: 45# may not be heavy for some.

Has anyone on here fucked with the Black Star HT100 head? Was just offered one in a potential trade for my Laney GH50L. Have never played a Black Star and I know Trey digs his little 5 watter. Side note, I was selling the Laney to fund either a Peavey Ultra purchase or to find a single channel amp to run pedals through. The Black Star is similar to the Ultra in that it has a whole lot of channels I don't really need but it also has some dumb gimmicky bullshit to go along with it which I don't give a fuck about. Any input would be rad.

so, I had a HT5 for a while…and they are nice…but if you want a clean that has a bit of character i would say your Laney sounds better. The Blackstar sounds a little sterile. If you are getting it for distortion channel…i personally didn't like it, its a bit too tight for my likings.

I will say this though…it take pedals really really well.

[crohny]

Mainly want it for the distortion. I don't plan on trading without trying it out so I will get a frist hand look and feel for how it works with my board and guitar.

[t-rey]

Try it. It's a different sort of distortion than any amp I've played (not that I've played many). Dry and tight, but takes boosts like you wouldn't believe. The clean on my HT5 is pretty bright and sterile, but takes fuzz and mod pedals better than it rightfully should. I've heard the bigger amps with tone shaping on the cleans are actually really nice to be from a high gain amp. If the 50 watt would fit on my cabs, I would already have one.

cool man…i think price wise its a good deal. If you are trying it out…the way i use to get a really good sound was have distortion on the amp on about 3 o'clock and then boost it with big muff type pedal with low fuzz but high volume.

but also, like Trey says, the bigger amps are different to 5w heads that i use to have…so the above may not sound so good

Anybody tried the joyo powersupply? Looks like a knockoff fuel tank/power brick kind of thing. Allegedly isolated outs. The reviews are generally favorable and the price is definitely right ($60). Any thoughts?

[Achtane]

lol anyone tried CHANGING THEIR STRINGS LATELY? jesus that made things sound better. i should do this more often.

No way, that new string zing is the worst.
Flats and dead rounds all DAY SON

i've changed strings 3 times in 2013…the only reason i changed because tuning was becoming really difficult…but i don't like the sound of new strings

yeah price is really good and on a different forum i read some good view on it too…it was at a time that i was wanting to buy a good power supply…i ended up buying Decibel 11. Although the price is good and everything on the Joyo, it seems to be too good to be true. When you look at all the power supplies, they are all priced about the same…there may be 10-20 difference but in the same ball park…for one to be so cheap, to me seems like they either cut too many corners, or it doesn't do what it say it does.

Any of you bassist looking to try out one of the new Epiphone classic thunderbird? I have a brand new one with hsc. Never even plugged it in. I'm looking to trade it for a cool head. Sunn, acoustic 370, old Peavey. I'm thinking some kind of solid state. Something along those lines. I'm willing to do any combination of head, head + cash, head & cab. I'm trying to expand to a dual rig. Not to mention I need a backup. Thanks guys.
