The difference I hear is the mojo from the well worn in speaker on the Fender which adds more of that rounded delta blues vibe. I'd bet in ten years the Sligo will sound even more similar.

That non-stop riff played by Brian gets damn hard on the fingers after a couple minutes..

@EPI6fingers I have to agree. I traded my 2008 SG 400 for the 61 sg Special. Lots of nice details on these and the action is fantastic. More impressive quality wise than many Gibson SG's I tried. The 61 reissue in TV yellow won't be around long in this true to original spec version. The cream co...

@fiduskunstner I put a 12au7 tube in preamp v2 position and a 12at7 in phase inverter position and it instantly sounded more vintage, less dominant bass, clearer treble, smoother reverb and most importantly a perfectly linear volume pot progression from low to highest setting. Mine is an older ve...

I have #91 of original 100 signed X100B Series IV Head. Love the clean and dirty sounds on this amp but the amp lacked volume compared to my other amps even when using the active EQ on either channel. Carvin wrongly designed the effects loop on these early amps to always be in circuit (even when ...

Play lots of Sg's before buying and avoid an Sg doesn't stay in tune because it may have too much neck flex. If an Sg is in good tune when you take it off the rack and stays in tune while you play that is a good sign. Also if an Sg sounds lively and resonates well even when not plugged in to amp...

Duane Eddy made guitar playing cool. He proved that the guitarist could be the frontman in the band, not some backup rhythm dude stuck at the back of the stage.

@lastwolflord Yeah, Left cheek and right cheek.

I was scared to hear Procol Harum play this after so many decades but it blew me away. It reinforces my belief that musicians from the 60's were quantum levels better than the style over substance musicians that get all the attention today.

I always thought the Animals were super cool since the 60's. When most other bands were singing syrupy love sings the Animals were singing about hard times, dead end jobs, brothels and love gone bad. The Stones acted tough and the Beatles were repackaged as nice boys but Eric Burdon refused to ch...

@classicrockonly You hit the nail on the head! I kept reaching for my SG instead of the chambered LP until I eventually sold the chambered LP. If you want something like a Mick Ronson sound a chambered works great but for everything else the solid is better. The LP solids definitely sound fatter.

I loved Sly and the Family Stone music in 1969 but not half as much as I love it today.

This amp head got no love because people didn't understand what a one channel Plexi or JCM 800 was all about. There's nothing to hide behind, it will make you sound amazing or terrible and unmasks bad playing style. It also delivers big rewards to patient guitarists who spend time dialing in thei...

@lanceporter CKXL was better for rock and roll during the pre- FM radio era.

@presatito I have played all the Mustang amps and the Mustang III has the best speaker (GT Hot 100). The GT-100 is the best modelling amp speaker on the market (sounds accurate from top to very bottom of frequency range) and I've own or have owned all the classic UK made Celestions. I also have ...

I still kick myself for not seeing Festival Express in 1970. I could have seen The Grateful Dead, Buddy Guy ,Janis Joplin, The Band , Mountain, Ten Years After,Delaney and Bonnie,Flying Burrito Brothers and more great bands at one time. I went down to the concert site because I heard people ripp...

@redshark1105 You nailed it! The clean sound has more detail and the harmonics are more complex on the HW. The crunch sounds retain better string to string definition and retain a richer tone. A hand wired amp usually has more dimension and is more responsive to each players style. In 1970 when ...

Tony was the neighbourhood bully and used to pick on Ozzie when they were kids

As Homer Simpson once said, Fame was like a drug for Scott, but what was even more like a drug was the drugs.

@tyhplas The Bass players pants are giving me flashbacks to 1970 when we had a hard rock band named Three Day War and my brother used to wear these hideous purple pants with huge bell bottoms. Then there were the dayglo California shirts with the puffy sleeves. Thank God we snapped out of that ph...

I was in my teens in the very early 70's and was into the sonic assault drumming style. We had a local hard rock band that went by the name of Three Day War and we played lots of Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Grand Funk, Cream, Steppenwolf and other early heavy metal bands, as well as a few rarer so...

AT 4:15 Brian May got his ready made riff for Tie Your Mother Down.

The Mic is not the problem as it is just a passive device. Sly's Mic was distorting ("Clipping") because the recording console level for his voice was set to high ("Hot"). Recorded Music now uses Compression to automatically limit clipping and squash the loud and quiet parts together. This is eas...

If your sitting down like Eric you have to stomp to engage the switch . If your standing you don't have to stomp on it but lots of guitarists still did to make sure it was on.

I went with my girlfriend to see SRV in 1984. I went only to see SRV and she went only to see the main act which was the Moody Blues. It was a a bizarre concert. SRV kicked ass and nobody seemed to notice or care. The Moody Blues did their thing which looked bland and boring to me and everyone l...

The Stones became the greatest rock band in the world the day Mick T joined. The Stones ceased to be the greatest rock band in the world the day Mick T left.

This is a great Santo and Johnny song from an era before listeners all developed attention deficit syndrome. People just chillaxed and enjoyed the music. Sometimes less is more. Or as George Harrison said, It's just as important to know when not to play during a song.

The Stones played this at 2:00 A.M in the morning and MIck didn't like what he saw and heard on tape so the Stones canned this video for 30 years. (Rock n Roll Circus) Brian Jones guitar was purposely set so low in the mix that you couldn't hear it. Mick and Keith had already decided Brian was ...

Keith wrote this in his hotel in Toronto in 1977, while under house arrest for heroin possession. . I always liked Keith's no frills playing and songwriting style which dominated on albums up to and including Exile on Main street.

Keith's always up for some action. Years ago I heard an interview of some guy who asked Keith to sign his Fender Telecaster. Keith said 'Hey Man ,thats a nice guitar". Then instead of giving the guitar back he hopped into the limo laughing his head off and drove off with guys guitar. Yes Keith is...

I saw the Police in a club in 1980. My friends wouldn't go with me because they didn't want to see "some crappy punk band". Their loss was my gain. The Police had a lot of energy back then. Iv'e made a point of seeing great bands for cheap since the late 60's. Saw SRV in 1984 in a club too.

Mick Ronson is seriously cool and deserved way more credit than he got for helping shape David Bowie's trippy Ziggy era sound.

Paul Rodgers is the ONLY rock singer I have heard that sounds as good or better than he sounded 35+ years ago.How is this even possible.

Best rock guitar solo of all time. The Stones became the world's greatest rock band the day MIck T joined and ceased being the world's greatest rock band the day Mick T left.

I bought the identical guitar after playing many Hum/Single guitars over a few month period. I felt this had better tone with the coil tap and quality on par with USA Fenders. That's coming from a hard core Fender man. All you have to do is pick one up and feel how solidly it is built. Trem is mi...

Played practically every guitar in Long and Mcquade looking for a good Hum/Single over a few week period and ended buying this guitar. These Godins are made in USA and have excellent craftsmanship. Lots of usable tones from Tele to Strat to humbucker crunch. Trem is super heavy duty for dive bom...

I forgot to mention that I use the 2 button and 4 button pedals together at the same time to control amp presets and stomp box settings on the fly.

Bon Scott, Bagpipes and Angus cranking out power riffs, it's enough to make a Scotsman (or Aussie) wanna cry.

The chord combination of E-A-D ( and variations of the same 3 chords) are the 3 most used rock chords of all time from Neil Diamond Cherry Cherry to AC/DC Jailbreak.

I can't believe this has such a low view count. This song was huge in Canada in the 60's. One of the greatest stoner songs of all time. Klaus Voorman is mulit-talented for sure, I heard he even taught some bass licks to Bill Wyman when Bill was in the Stones.

I have this amp and love the Celestion G12T-100 (Hot 100) Speaker. Lots of bass punch for heavy metal and 80's/90's rock. I've owned recent Vypyr and Line 6 gear and the Mustang feels more organic with great touch response. I will never sell this amp because it is so versatile. I use the 4 button...
