I thought it was green also LOLOL classic Ibanez or Kawasaki green LOLOL but yellow light and blue  yep that makes green last time I looked at a color wheel LOLOL still KILLER! I love the HSS configuration. Selector on second position grabbing the H and the middle S always loved that tone.  Did you coil tap the Humbucker just in case you want that single coil sound in the bridge?

Well if your wanting an acoustic sound out of your electric,, skip the hasell of the bridge, usually you can find a used digitech rp 250 for 50 - 80 bucks or so. http://www.amazon.com/DigiTech-RP250-Gu … B000K4ZZ06   The acoustic model on it is really great. select that, dial in some reverb /chorus an your sounding just fine.  + you get all the other goodies and with the right usb cable it can go right to your computer and record + you can also tweek your stock models and save them and you have a downloadable library of 1000+ patches from the user library.  bump up to 160 bucks and get a rp 255 and you get a Sitar patch and a looper also.
then here are other options  stomp box
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifie … ects-pedal   25 bucks and its a good one! no matter what you are playing if you dont have an EQ you missing out http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifie … dal/h85655

There are more expensive ones out there for both,, if you look at the reviews on guy listed his soundcloud page with audio samples.  if budget is no problem then I would think also about the BOSS but its 125  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/amplifie … -simulator

ok but it still all comes down to what you want smile  have fun experimenting!

True to some degree I suppose..........

I have two Marshall amps, the 30watt has all the bells and whistles, I can't figure out how to work it.
It has a programmable foot controller and 4 channels plus clean/crunch.......

Marshall instructions are lousy, the owner's manual is devoid of detail!

Gus

go to a music store and get one of the techs to show you,, or have you looked on YT??? theyh have most all the answers LOLOL

Phill,
4T for 160,, cant beat that. I paid about 120 for my 2T which is now only 100. Idd spend the 60 extra for the 4T though. Not to mention this one is also passowrd protected.  Ifits anything like a jump drive I had THAT is a great feature. you have open space and then a file thats locked, any "sensitive" stuff can go in there for protection.

I tred their fourm but its a mess and not regulated well.  they have a great libary though.  if its not in chordie, I can usually find it there.

I read chordie every day. Sometimes my day is so hectic and busy that I don`t have the time to post anything. I have some things going on at home and I have to put guitar on the back burner sometimes. Facebook is what I go on for a couple of hours each night. A lot of chordians are facebook friends and we can get into deeper subjects on that instead of here. Anyone here is welcome on my page and it is more personal than here. this is a great place, but there are limits as to what can be discussed here.

JX3 on my Triumph fourm,, we now have a special section called "THE CONE OF SILENCE"  You haveto ask to be a part of it. its a no holds barred section for any rant you feel like making no matter what the topic , I have to admit I usually just read it for a few good laughs and see what ppl are emotional about.

I dont think its needed here though wink

Dino, things might pick up when football season picks up. Maybe, for the time being, Chordie could offer a "Buck Nakkid" hopscotch tournament. We could sign up people and give prizes for the biggest hop and drink a lotta scotch.

Nela

Scotch is good and maybe we could have some languerie football games now.

+1!  But Ill just be a side line reff,, Amy will have to Captain a team ! LOLOLOL smile

Nela, there are I would say about 30 CORE members. out of that you will have about 10 active posters who will carry a conversation in a topic.  The core bunch is usually beyond talking basic stuff at this point.   I think we just wait till something really moves us to start a new post.  Dino is also correct in lots of stuff being done through other social outlets.  I regularly start chats with Amy, Zurff, Jets, Wayne,  topdown and Russell. Every so often ill put a topic up on the forum,, I also look for new members and try to get them the help they ask for and invite them to join.  TF is probably the most recent member who post

tooth pick under the Nut is a good trick to get started, mutes out the strings you are not wanting to play. (George Thorogood mentioned this trick in a article I read a long time ago, I wanted to play Who do you love-bo didly beat!)  slide is tricky,, I still have not gotten the hang of it.
