Upgrade before we ship - Earvana Nuts. Instantly improves the intonation of any guitar and we're getting more and more requests to install them on guitars before we ship out. Martin is very big on these so that says a lot to me. If you want one installed before we ship your guitar, let us know. The part alone will run you $34.95 from Earvana but we're offering the upgrade for just $49/total, parts and labor, for most guitars. For details, click here.

Early 60's Gibson parts: Nickel ABR-1 without wire and metal saddles, making it a correct for early 60's, pre-wire, pre plastic saddles, $399. (Note: the same bridge in chrome for a mid-60's with metal saddles in very clean shape for $225. Four Bonnet knobs with chrome caps and deeper post hole, is correct for '62 thru ca. '67, in very nice shape with lettering still there, one volume knob has two chips on the top edge, $300/all. Dog-eared P-90 Covers are worn down to black around edges, covers correctly stamped UC-455 and UC-450-1, $150/pair. Nickel-plated trapeze tailpiece, very clean vintage condition, $199. Original truss rod nut, temporarly missing but $29 if I can find it. I don't have a pic, but I have a very clean '62 nut, 1 11/32", for $50.

WD Exotic Tele Custom Neck, (pic2), (pic3). Just like the pics but with a plain "Fender" logo. Last of my batch of "WD Exotic" necks, with this model having birdseye maple neck with a Pau Ferro fretboard. We recently finished this neck for a customer who bailed on the deal The logo is top quality and installed properly, with 3 coats of clear with wet sanding in between, the headstock is indistinguishable from a factory original. Other than the gloss lacquer headstock, this neck has a sealer coat only so there's no finish to slow you up when you start sweating. The neck you're getting is brand new, never installed, and $244 with pro-finished logo.

Boss GE-6 Graphic Equalizer, (back), (serial/splice). Boss's first compact EQ pedal. Before there was the GE-7, for a few years Boss made the GE-6, this one from 1980. Period correct features include long dash "-" between the "GE" and "6", silver lid screw, ink-stamped serial inside the lid, and black bottom Made in Japan sticker. Nice shape for its age and all original except for 9V clip which is a newer one that's spliced on. These are fairly rare since most guys in 1980 didn't appreciate the value of EQ and would always opt for a distortion or flanger with their music budget. Definite collector's value but a totally useable EQ that sounds great and will never fail. $85.

Budda Superdrive Series I Head and 2X12 Open/Closed-Back Cab, (back), (top), (panel), (back/top chassis), (circuit). Tone monster in a lightweight head an 2X12 cab, completely refabricated with 2-tone black/white Tolex. These early model Superdrives are a different animal than the current model Series II. These amps, commonly referred to as "Series I" feature point to point soldering as well as some higher quality components. Very few were made and they're highly regarded amps. This one is serial 101, with a build date of 6/27/00. You'll notice in the pics that the front is missing the purple panel and is hand-lettered, but the controls are, left to right: Master Volume (pull for Drive Channel); Bass; Mid; Treb; Drive Channel Volume; Rhythm Channel Volume (pull for Bright). The back of the chassis has the original panel and features: Effects loop; footswitch inputs for Channel and Speaker; Slave output and Level control; Main Speaker out with 4-8-16 ohm selector; Aux Speaker out with 4-8-16 ohm selector. You'll note the dual speaker outputs on this early model, which isn't featured on the Series II. When I was doing my demo I plugged the closed back cab into one out and a 1X12 Jensen open-back in the other. It's remarkable how the tone changed when I switched between the two and this is a feature than many gigging guitarists will appreciate. Tonally, this amp is simply fantastic. On the Drive channel, which is what I always go to right away, it has a singing quality that's rich in harmonics and I was getting harmonic overtones on nearly every chord or not, at a volume well under 1/2. Regardless of channel, this amp delivers very thick tones. The Rhythm channel sound somewhat like a Vox but, again, thicker, but still has much of the Vox chime. The Drive channel is, for me, what this amp is all about, with the tone of an early Marshall with fat and crunchy rock tones, the kind of tone you might find on a perfectly hot-rodded Plexi. Tubes are a quad of EL84's in the power section, with 3 12AX7's in the preamp, with a 5U4 rectifier. This amp delivers fantastic touch-sensitivity, which should make it well-suited for jazzers or country pickers. You can do a dead-on Brad Paisley tone on the clean channel, cranked up. The speaker cab is the size of an AC-30 and features a pair of 25W WGS Green Beret 12's. You can hear sound clips of the speakers here. With a solid birch construction, this cab is very lightweight but very strong. I would guess the cab and amp together weigh only 50 lbs. or so. The cab was also designed with a removable top panel so it can be easily converted to an open-back if desired. I can call my rep at Budda and possibly get some Budda badges but no promises. Personally I like the hand-crafted appearance of the panel and the overall custom look of the amp. Cosmetically, the build of the cabinets is first rate with perfectly applied covering and it appears to have seen zero road use since built. The only real flaw is an extra small hole in the top, adjacent to one of the chassis screws (we will plug so as to be nearly invisible). The Series II SD30's are going for $1600 for the head alone, and they're all circuit boards. Why not get a hand-wired killer sounding Series I, with a quality 2X12 cab for less. $1399 takes the set.

Bill Lawrence Soundhole Pickup, older model by one of the legends in pickup design. Mounts easily in soundhole with a long cord attached, 1/4" jack, and volume control mounted to pickup. $75.

Gibson Humbucker Pair, 496R and 500T from a 2003 Les Paul Classic; 14.5.K bridge; 8.5K neck. $115 for the pair.

DiMarzio DP155 Tone Zone and DP193 Air Norton, With the F-spaced Tone Zone in the bridge and the Air Norton in the neck you've got a killer rock setup and one of the pairs recommended by DiMarzio. These have the screw holes enlarged slightly for mounting directly to the body and are in nice shape with full length leads. Want to make your import Wolfgang come alive? Try a pair of these. Just $95 for this pair of Zebras.

***************************************************

Hipshot BT4 Fender Bass Detuner, made especially for American Standard P and J basses; 2 mounting pins just like your stock tuner so no modification is required. Just remove your old tuner, put this one on, and tighten down the screw on the headstock, and you're up and running. A cheaper alternative to buying a 5-string if all you need is to have a low E-flat or low D on a few songs. Sells new for $95 from Hipshot but this one is perfect in original packing for $59.

Jet City 20 JCA220H Head - Soldano Designed, (panel), (top), (back). Don't confuse this with other lower-powered budget amps. While many of them sound good, this model was designed by Mike Soldano and it's clearly in another class. With a minimum of frills, although it does have a full 4-band EQ (including Presence), the circuit isn't bogged down by bright switches, reverb circuits, etc. It's just a Preamp Volume - EQ - Master Volume, which are engineered to let you dial in a nice assortment of clean - and very dirty - tones. It has more clean headroom than I would think and sounds great with the master volume pegged, with the preamp added in just enough to get a power tube break up. Back off the preamp a tad and you have a nice chimy clean tone. One oddity I've noted is that it was built to run on a 16 ohm load - either a 16 ohm cab or a pair of 8 ohms. I've heard you can safely run it at 8 ohms, but I can't recommend it. Cosmetically it has been modified to match most of your other backline gear. The front panel has been changed to black instead of the bright blue, and the large "333" logo has been removed. It is in impeccable condition and would make a nice addition to your studio arsenal and, depending on the venue, a nice club amp. New cost on these is $333 but this perfect used one is $100 cheaper - $233(HOLD-Ken 3/20).

Suhr Humbucker Set, (pic2). Includes DSV+ bridge and DSV neck with zebra coils. 4-conductor wiring for a variety of wiring options. Includes adjustment screws and springs. Suhr builds his own pickups and they go in some of the finest guitars made. New price on these are $120/each but here's a set, mint in the box, for $160.

Callaham Tele Bridge/Saddles, Discover what a difference a quality stainless/nickel bridge with compensated saddles can make to your tone. Each saddle is made specifically for a string pair and angled for greatly improved intonation. $79(SOLD-Matthew 3/15).

--------------------------------------------------------

Floyd Rose Speedloader Tremolo Bridge, (pic2). Latest and greatest from Floyd and like all the best Floyds, made in Germany by Schaller. The SpeedLoader Tremolo offers all the versatility of the original Floyd Rose Tremolo with the ease and performance of the SpeedLoader System. You can still execute the most
subtle tremolo or wildest dive-bombing effects and return to perfect tuning every time. The SpeedLoader tremolo also features the new Floyd Rose TremStopper that enables the player to block the tremolo system with a simple turn of a screw. Read more at Floyd Rose or a video demo at YouTube. Box is a bit shop worn but this set-up is new and never installed. Richie Sambora, CC DeVille, and Brad Whitford are among the many pro players who are now using the Speedloader. Sells in stores for $249 but this one's new with all the parts for $169.

Roland GK3, (pic2). Unlike previous models that required modification to your guitar body, the GK3 installs via a clamp, with rubber inserts to protect your finish. The pickup mounts with 2-sided tape (included). Most accurate performance ever to your Roland GR unit. With this pickup and a GR unit, you'll have more power than you can imagine. Perfect for small groups where guitar may need to double on string fills or voice pads, etc. This unit also will work on carved top guitars with a special bracket that's not included. For more info go to RolandUS. Sells for $185 new but this used one works perfectly and is just $119.

Gibson Humbucker Pair, 496R and 500T from a 2008 Explorer; 15.K bridge; 8.4K neck. Very clean shape. $115 for the pair.

Gibson Explorer Wiring Harness, factory soldered, complete with Vol-Vol-Tone (46th week of '08) and output jack.

Gibson Burstbucker 2, Great bridge position humbucker which Gibson describes as "the most accurate reproduction vintage-PAF-style humbuckers Gibson has ever offered�yield everything from warm, fluid vocal tones to fat, sweet growl". It was removed from an '09 Gibson Les Paul Custom Axcess and is in perfect condition. Sells for $109 new - or you can get this nice used one for $69.

DiMarzio Super Distortion DP-100, hot & thick tone with tight bottom end. Clean shape with full leads, $45.

Greasy Groove Neckplate and Trem Cover, "Pin Up Bridesmaid" neckplate ($17.99) etched chrome with incredible detail - plus "Pin Up Girl 6" antique white ($19.99). These are both new/mint and a cool way to dress up your Strat for a 50's vibe. $25 takes the pair. Check out more at Greasy Groove.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ibanez ADL Analog Delay, Excellent sounding analog with the warmth and depth of the higher priced preceding AD9 or Boss DM-2. The "L" or "Master" series was made just after the "9" series, only for around a year before the "10" series. Quality built with metal casing and failure on these pedals is very rare. If you're looking for a classic analog for around 50% less than an AD or DM, this one's in nice shape and can't be beat for $135.

Ibanez DDL10 Delay II, (panel). Digital Delay, 1980�s, very rare�only one I�ve ever had, if you�ve been looking for this to complete your 10-series collection here it is!, some light scratches but overall a very nice appearance, full 900ms delay (100 more than Boss DD-2 and 500ms more than the blue DL10), wet/dry outputs, although not cheap it�s less than you�ll spend for a brand new Ibanez DD at $85(HOLD-Jeff T 3/1).

Ibanez NB10 Noise Buster, (box/man.) NOS condition in original box. VERY rare and this is only the 2nd one I've had in the past 10 years and this one is in museum condition without a single flaw, one knob to control your noise - run this last in your signal chain for a quieter signal going to your amp. Not cheap but a perfect example of a rare 10-series, $99.

Ibanez No. 57 Wau Wau Standard, (pic2). Made from ca. '73 to '79 and similar to the Mod. 58 I had recently, but this is straight wah pedal, without the fuzz. Does a good wacka-wacka tone and fatter sounding than the Crybaby's which were more prolific in the 70's. These pedals seem to run forever so you'll likely have many years of use without problems. Nice vintage condition. $129.

Ibanez TS9 Tubescreamer Reissue, A true classic and one of the most authentic tube sounds ever made in a pedal. Very clean shape, $75.

G&L Gigbag, NOS condition and one of the best made with super thick & firm padding much like a PRS or Brian Moore. $35.

Parker Gigbag, original 90's model that's supposedly in great demand. Nice used condition $125.

Parker Tremolo "Spring", 9 ga. spring for anyone who wants to change string gauge but only has the 10 ga. model, $35.

Parker Trem Arm, original 90's model with hexagonal shape and padded tip, $35(HOLD-Phil 4/2).

2009 Marshall MG50FX 1X12 Combo, (panel), (top), (back), (box/acc.). As new, absolutely flawless, with all factory packing. Marshall's latest in the highly successful MG4 line which has taken solid state to an even higher plane and, in fact, many players will prefer the tone and response of this MG50FX over their tube models. This amp has about everything you could want in a 50-watt combo, including 4 channels (Clean, Crunch, Overdrive 1, and Overdrive 2), and lets you quickly and easily dial in your favorite settings and save them. It also features onboard digital effects including Chorus, Phaser, Flanger, Delay, and Reverb. The settings for each channel can be customized to your liking�with effects if desired�and saved for instant recall. It features one 12" speaker, an external effects loop, power amp damping which is a subtle but very impressive feature, a headphone/line out jack with speaker emulation, a line in for an MP3 player, and a two-button footswitch which lets you access all 4 channels. There's plenty of info online about this amp and for a good video overview, click here for Guitar World's demo and Click here for full specs and more at Marshall. With a list price of $580, this is an incredible value on an "as new" 50-watter with this much power and versatility at just $299.

Vox Valvetronix AD120VT and VC-4 Controller, (side), (panel), (amps/effects), (top), (back panel), (back), (pedal). Local sale/trade very much desired on this, the "Big Daddy" of the Valvetronix series and one of the best modeling amps made during the modeling amp wars a few yeas back. This was Vox's highest power model with 120 watts (60W X 2), with an attenuator on the back to lower the output from 30Wx2, 15Wx2, or 1Wx2, which allows you to tailor the output to the venue (1W/Side is perfect for home). Other features include Celestion 12" speakers, 16 amp types, 21 effects types, 32 programs (8 banks of 4), chromatic tuner, and Valve Reactor power amp section that recreates classic tube power amp response.� For guys who want to simplify their setup, these amps are perfect as they are able to completely eliminate your effects pedalboard. Plenty of power for any stage, but equally at home in the studio.� Read over 150 reviews at Harmony Central where these got an incredible �9.1� for sound quality.� This amp was never gigged, home use only, and is overall excellent condition. A lot of amp for $550 and *includes* Vox VC-4 floorboard with built-in expression pedal and easy access to four user presets. Manuals are downloadable free of charge at Vox here.

T.C. Electronic Sustain + Parametric Equalizer. A true classic vintage T.C. pedal and like all the old TC's, built for decades of constant use. Delivers studio quality compression in a pedal; crank it to the extreme and it�ll give your sound that percussive �thud� brilliant for funk or country, and with its parametric EQ you�re in full control of which frequencies to target. If you have your pedalboard set up with all your favorite effects and it's still missing "something", this could be the answer. It really enhances your tone - from subtle compression to extreme sustaining effects - this sustainer will prolong life of even your weakest tone otherwise destined for premature death and since Sustainers inherently add some noise, there's even a built in adjustable noise suppressor. They have reissued a different version of this pedal in their "Classic' series but this early model appears to be more solidly built than the recent models. It also has a different layout than the new style pedal plus "Distortion" on/off and a bandwidth selector switch. As with most of the older TC pedals I've had, this one hasn't sat in the box and has normal cosmetic flaws from use, but it works perfectly and is a true classic in the TC line-up. $175.

Mica Wau Wau Wailer, (pic2). Very rare 60's Japan effect that's sort of a Fender Blender with built-in fuzz and wah-wah effects, with a rocker pedal to control the amount effect with the pump of the foot. Controls include separate Fuzz and Wah on/off switches, and knobs for Fuzz Depth and Balance, which blends the Wah with the Fuzz. To quote the Guitar Player vintage pedal shootout, "This pedal's "wow wow" voice sounds pretty decent, but the Wailer easily wins the "Most Disgusting Fuzz" medal, though there were plenty of runners-up. We've yet to hear thinner, stinkier, or more irritating buzz. Well done." This fuzz isn't for everyone but it will go places that no other fuzz can go. Overall nice shape for a pedal of its age and considering its rarity, a cool effect for $150.

Fender Fuzz Wah, (pic2), (pic3). Vintage 70's, built like a tank and sounds awesome. The idea is the same as the Mica effect above, but the distortion is a little more tame, although with the dial pegged it does get as shrill as you'll ever want to hear, passing pretty much only high frequencies. By blending the fuzz and wah you get some very thick fuzzy tones, some fat bass tones with just a little overdrive, or some piercing tones. With the rocker pedal in the middle and the fuzz engaged, it sounds like two guitars, one with a clean notch filter tone and the other one fuzzed out. Very rare effect, only the second one I've had and the first in the "square off" shape, rather than the rounded corners as found on the reissues. With the reissues running $199, here's one that's around 35 years old, 100% functional and decent shape, for less. $175.

Gig-FX Chopper, (pic2), (stock pic). Early model with blue trim. Five effects in one pedal - all of them quality tones and if you really want to blow your mind, try this baby in stereo. I hooked it up to a pair of Crate 5W tube amps and it was unbelievable. Effects include: Tremolo, with modulation rate controlled on the fly by the pedal; Rotating Speaker: stereo rotating speaker effect again, with pedal-adjustable rate; Copper - Entrancing rhythmic fully adjustable short or long pulses in stereo or mono, with pedal-adjustable frequency; Delay Emulator has all the texture of multiple echoes but without the encumbrance of a repeated note; Panning Machine - makes your solos soar across the sound stage with a STEREO auto-panner. Control panning rate with the pedal. For a basic demo, here's a YouTube demo or better yet, just click here for Gig-FX's site and some killer sound files will start automatically. Any one of these effects would be worth $100 alone but with all 5 built into one pedal, this thing's a bargain at just $145.

2006 Robin Medley Standard USA, (front/back), (headstock/neck), (beveled cutaway), (case). Dead mint - untouched condition. Super lightweight swamp ash - under 7 lbs.! - offered in mint condition. Robin guitars, handcrafted in Houston TX since 1982, are some of the best quality guitars in America at reasonable prices. Don't confuse this one with the import models from the 90's. Their USA guitars are finely crafted guitars and essentially custom shop guitars at mass production prices. Features of the Medley Standard include a swamp ash body with maple neck with rosewood fretboard, reverse headstock, 25.5" scale on a 24-fret neck, Rio Grande pickups (Muy Grande and Tallboy) which are actually made by Robin, master volume and tone with 5-way switching and push/pull pot that splits the coils on both pickups, string-thru-body construction, and black hardware. This one also has an optional matching headstock and a very nicely flamed neck. This was a one-owner guitar who apparently never played it. Offered in flawless condition with a killer setup and one of the best American guitars I've had for under a grand. This beauty is yours for nearly 1/2 of the new cost at just $899(HOLD-Santtu 1/30). Includes quality TKL/Robin case.

Epiphone G-400 Gothic Series SG, (front/back), (headstock). I just got two more of these in and from the first batch I they have proven to be the best value in a set-neck, all-mahogany SG. Based upon Gibson's very successful "Gothic" line, the Epiphone Goth Collection features the same Satin-Black finish and Black hardware for a look that's obviously aimed at the rock/metal player. Features include Grover tuners, Ebony fretboard with side markers, black chrome hardware, Roman numeral "XII" inlay on the 12th fret, a Celtic Cross on the headstock, and Epi ''57 Classic Alnico-V exposed-coil humbuckers. These guitars are stamped to indicate cosmetic 2nd (pic) for reasons we cannot discern - they're totally flawless. With a new list of $499, these are excellent value at $249, especially considering a pro-setup that makes them play better than anything you'll find from the super stores. If you want the pro upgrade, we can install a clean set of Gibson pickups such as a 496R/500T, which sell new for $160/pair, for just $140 more, including parts and labor, and the original pickups included in the box.

Gibson GA-5 Les Paul Junior Amp, (top), (inside). 5-watt lil' screamer! With so many of the low-powered single-ended Class A combo's in the price war of today by Fender, Epi, Vox, etc., the GA-5 stands alone. It's the only one made in the USA (by Mojotone) and it's point-to-point soldered, clearly in a class by itself. Sure, it costs more but a lot more of these are going to be around 25 years from now than any Valve Juniors or other Chinese made amps. If you're looking for an overdriven tube tone for practice or studio, this could be just what you're looking for. Very little clean tones - starts to break up around "3" and around "5" it achieves what most amps achieve wide open. Turn the knob past 5 and you get more saturation at every number, unlike some amps where there is little difference between initial break-up and full volume. I am very impressed with this one and hat's off to Gibson for coming up with a reissue that's even cooler than the original. Tubes are a 12AX7 preamp and EL84 power, with an excellent sounding 8" "special design" Goldtone speaker with hardwood cabinet, covered in cream tolex. Looks good inside with a polished chrome chassis and a remarkably large power transformer. Every studio needs an amp like this and with a list price on new of $1150, this one's just $399(SOLD-Robert N 8/19). Note: I have this identical amp except in yellow tolex, also made by Mojotone (pic here) on my amps page for the same price. .

Windsong WSLP-300 Les Paul Copy, (front/back), (headstock). Although this is a 2002 model, it's actually NOS and flawless condition. This guitar is an excellent quality Korean model, made in the same factory that Epiphone was using at the time. Most of you may not be familiar with Windsong, but a local store, Burnt Hill Music, was the sole importer of them. They offer classic Gibson/Epi styles, built with the quality of the Korean Epi's, before they moved to China. The WSLP-300 is Windsong's equivalent to the LP Standard Plus, with identical cosmetic features such as binding and inlays, electronics, and hardware - while there is a slight difference in silhouette with the Windsong having a slightly wider waist and a tiny cutaway on the bass side, where the Les Paul goes straight across. Woods are alder body with a flamed maple top, mahogany neck, and rosewood fretboard, with a gloss finish all around and nicely flamed maple as well as an attractive abalone strip on the headstock. This guitar sold new for $520 (click here for price and specs) which is slightly less than Epi's Les Paul Standard Plus. I guarantee that the quality of this guitar is identical to a 2002 Epi and, further, that it has an absolute killer setup with very low action from the nut to the top fret. For $100's less than a new Chinese Les Paul Standard Plus you can have this lovely Korean Windsong; just $329. Includes gigbag.

Epiphone Humbuckers, from a '96 Ltd Ed Les Paul Standard, good choice for your mid-line project guitar, chrome covers are in clean shape and just $35/pair.

----------------------------------------------------------

Marshall JCM800 1960B 4X12 Cabinet, (pic2). Bottom cab for your full stack, includes casters. Hard to find mate for your JCM800 head, and the perfect match for my JCM800 1960A on my amps page (shown here). Loaded with original British Celestion G12T-75, 75W speakers, this 300W cab should never blow a speaker and has obviously worked night after night for many years. It has obviously seen its share of clubs in its 20 years as evidenced by a few nicks here and there and a large piece of covering missing from the back which we can paint black at no cost - or spot repair with tolex for $50 - but, hey, this is an old Marshall cab and it looks "right" just the way it is if you ask me. The Chinese made G12T-75's are selling for $109/each so at $435, it's like getting a quad of *British* G12T-75's for the price of Chinese and the cab thrown in for free. Anyhow, $435 and it works perfectly. Discount for local pickup.

2007 Danelectro '59 DC - Keen Green, (front/back), (headstock), (aged hardware/bridge). 2nd generation reissue. First produced in ca. '98 to '01, the earlier '59 DC's were reissues of the model made famous by Jimmy Page and I was disappointed when they discontinued them. Fast forward to 2007 and Dano re-reissued the model with a few enhancements over the earlier model. This 2nd generation features upgraded pickups, upgraded electronics, fully adjustable/intonating bridge, and antiqued parts including pickguard, side binding tape and hardware. These later reissues came in a choice of four classic car colors, including this Keen Green. With a light coat of shellac on the pickguard and "binding" tape, as well as lightly aged hardware, these guitars have more of a vintage vibe than the earlier models. In addition the newer lipstick Alnico pickups still provide the signature Dano twang, although now with a warmer tone and slightly less high-end sharpness. The older wood black saddle was replaced with a 6-saddle bridge that's fully intonatible; new sealed tuners keep the guitar nicely in tune. Other changes include a neck that's slightly wider and thicker, toggle switch that's heavier, and output jack was moved to the side which is much more sturdy than the previous mount in the masonite pickguard. Other features include Masonite/Plywood body, 25" scale, double-acting truss rod, C-shaped neck with 21 frets, 14" fretboard radius; 1.65" aluminum nut, Nickel hardware, and master volume/tone controls with vintage style knobs. This model is one of the few guitars you'll see pro players playing that only costs a few hundred bucks. Martin has set up 100's of Dano's over the years and he gets them playing like guitars that cost 5X the price. This one is exceptionally clean and at $250(HOLD-Pete M 1/7), an inexpensive addition to your on-stage arsenal that has the tone and vibe that only a '59 Dano has.

***********************************************

2004 Carvin LB70 4-String, (front/back), (headstock), (controls), (paperwork and case). Excellent quality USA Carvin, these neck-thru models are the best value on the used market. I can't think of another American made neck-thru that sells on the used market for under a grand, and these are usually well under a grand. This one has a killer electronics package with an active circuit consisting of a 3-band EQ with mini-knobs for bass, mid, and treble, as well as a master volume and pan pot to blend any combination of the two pickups. The bridge pickup is Carvin's "new" HB4, which resembles the Musicman pickup and features Alnico V magnets and is controlled by a mini-toggle switch for either single coil or both coils together in a humbucker mode. This pickup paired with J99 Jazz style pickup, yields a wide pallet of tones, something to suit virtually any style of music. This bass features an optional Swamp Ash body with maple neck-thru design, and an Ebony fretboard. Carvin's 4/side headstock design allows for straight string pull and with the large mass bridge and string-thru-body, this bass exudes loads of sustain. The well rounded body contours and deep cutaways make this bass a joy to play. Add in an optional G&G/Carvin tweed case and it's an incredible value at $579.

XXX end 4/9/10

****************************************************

TonePros Locking Tuneomatic Bridge AVR-II, clean shape, exact replacement for vintage Gibson ABR-1 but with many upgrades including more intonation range, and saddles that are "engineered in" solid, preventing "lift" against the retainer wire, has extra tight construction that eliminates rattles and improves sustain. If your ABR has that "sag" from years of use, this will not only replace it, but will sound better than a new ABR-1. $40.

Electroharmonix Hum Debugger. From Electroharonix USA. I don't know how they do it, but this pedal takes away hum from your guitar or signal chain. It's not a gate or noise suppressor but a totally unique design. Especially good for vintage Strat and Tele pickups. Don't replace your pickups before you try one of these. $118 new but this clean used one is just $79(Tent. Hold - Michael M 3/15). Includes power supply.

Snarling Dogs Whine-O Wah. Excellent versatility, built for the road, true-bypass. Has 3 distinct types of wahs and pot to control wah level, which is a simple but important feature for a wah that's not included on some of the most popular wahs. Nice sounding pedal for $45.

Collings I-35 Case, excellent quality case in near mint condition. Note that this is too small for an ES-335 but may fit other thinline hollowbody guitars. $99.

Frantone "The Sweet" Germanium Fuzz. If you're looking for an extremely versatile germanium fuzz, and one that's actually controllable when you want it to be, The Sweet is for you. Hand-built by Frantone in the USA with the finest components and, of course, true bypass. Frantone describes this pedal as over the top in every way using the classic tone of germanium transistors and the longest sustaining and smoothest sounding all-transistor fuzztone you will ever own. Frantone designed many fuzztones, including the 2000 New York City Big Muff for Electro-Harmonix, and Frantone says this is the most extreme one he's ever made. The full bottom and crisp highs will astound you, and the endless sustain will make you cry like a baby. Hearing is believing, so Click here for a good YouTube demo and here for Harmony-Central reviews. Full specs are at Frantone's site here. Sells for $345 direct from Frantone but this one's mint in the box for $239, including shipping. I've had many germanium fuzz units, including every vintage one made. This is by far the best of the lot.

Alesis MidiVerb II, (back). One of the classic 80's reverbs loaded with some great sounding preset patches. Highly recommended for users who don't want to mess with menus and editing. Just select any one of 99 presets and you're good to go. LED display lets you know what patch you're on, which was an improvement from the rotary dial or push-button units that preceded it. Alesis revolutionized the affordable digital reverb market with the original 1/3 rack Midiverb and improved with the full-rack II version. Wide dynamic range, quick setup and use, and 15kHz bandwidth allows sounds from delicate to thunderous with no loss of warmth or subtle harmonics. The high impedance stereo inputs handle signals from low level electric instruments to +4 professional mixing consoles. Also, you can assign any of the 99 programs to 32 MIDI Patch locations for integrating MidiVerb II into your awn MIDI system. Also features stereo inputs, stereo outputs, and bypass switch input. Manual is downloadable here. On the club and bar circuits, I still see a lot of these in the PA rack, 20+ years after it was introduced. A nice unit for Pro-sound or guitar rack system for just $69.

B.C. Rich Warlock Guitar Case, top quality Canadian TKL case with plush lining, tolex covering with leather ends and white stitching. Extremely clean shape, $79.

Included cable can be run to the endpin jack (included), or simply hang out of the sound hole for temporary installation. No modification to your guitar is required. New these are $139 but this nice one's just $95 in the box.

Gibson Deluxe Vintage Tuners with Kidney Bean or Gibson Deluxe Vintage Tuners with Keystones. Nickel cased - hand-relic'd by a friend who doesn't like any shiny hardware but they've seen little to no use and work perfectly. If you're looking for a set or a well-used guitar, you need these - not a shiny new set. Pre-aged for just $49 per set. Take your pick.

Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb, one of the best an most natural-sounding digital reverbs ever on any of three built-in algorithms. Perfect emulation of classic spring reverb so natural that even Surf God Dick Dale couldn't tell the difference. Hall reverb is so lush and spacious that you'll feel like you're playing in the Fillmore. Flerb adds a flanger (to the reverb tone only) and it can add new a totally new dimension and change your playing style. Lots of cool tones in a small pedal and even if your amp has reverb, you'll probably never use it again. Hearing is believing - click here for a good YouTube demo. Sold new for $115; this one's perfect and just $75. Sorry, no manual but with one switch and one knob, you don't need one.

Seymour Duncan Phat Cat PH90-1N, Originally designed for Hamer guitars and now available as a replacement pickup to the public. Cool thing about these is that it's actually a P90 that drops right in to your humbucker route. P90's are fat like humbuckers, but being single coils they have the expressiveness and articulation of a single coil. The Phat Cat uses two Alnico 2 magnets for more sustain and softer attack, while the metal covers provides more shielding and noise reduction than standard soapbar covers. This gold one has never been installed and new in the box. Store priced at $99, available here for $69.

Seymour Duncan Tele Little '59. The Little '59 was designed for the Tele player who wants a harder rock tone. The Little 59 has a warm, smooth tone, reminiscent of an old '59 Gibson PAF, although with a tinge of beefed up twang. You might think this is just a pickup for rockers but it's actually great for country, jazz, blues, and funk as well. Immaculate. $55(HOLD-Marc P 6/16).

Seymour Duncan Duckbucker Strat Bridge, Vintage output single-coil-sized humbucker. Excellent for country, pop, surf, rockabilly, blues, ska and classic rock. Based on the Vintage Rails, the Duckbucker uses six fully adjustable pole pieces together with a unique, split blade design. $49.

Seymour Duncan Twang Banger, True single-coil pickup that makes a Strat sound like a Tele. Recommended for country, pop, rockabilly, blues, jam, classic rock and heavy rock. Get the twangy, muscular punch of a gutsy Tele in your Strat with the secret ingredients being the copper-coated steel bottom plate with aggressive coil windings, Alnico 2 magnets wrapped in plain enamel wire for a high-output Tele tone. $49.

Seymour Duncan Vintage Rails Strat, Vintage output single-coil-sized "rails" humbucker with the sound of a vintage Strat�. Perfect for country, pop, surf, rockabilly, blues, ska and classic rock. Uses a unique split rail, twin coil design and special (parallel) wiring to achieve true, vintage, single-coil tone without hum. Clean, clear and bright, with all of the "quack" you love in the notch positions. Tonally similar to Duckbuckers, the rails design eliminates any potential dropout in string bending. $49.

Seymour Duncan Dimebucker, The Dimebucker uses a powerful ceramic magnet coupled with stainless steel blades. It's secret to the hard-hitting crunch is the small amount of metal mass in the core of the pickup which allows the SH-13 to have both high DC resistance and a high resonant peak, resulting in a high-output, aggressive humbucker with lots of treble bite and clarity, as well as punchy bass response and exceptional dynamics. The Dimebucker is perfect for heavy rock and metal; and it rocks equally hard with tube and solid-state amps. Used but very clean, and the perfect bridge humbucker for many of you - for just $65.

1980's Fender Squier 15 - This amp came in as a total beater with the cabinet painted with silver graffiti, replaced grill cloth and no logo as shown in this ("before" pic) but it's received a total "face lift" and we switched all the components over to a very clean Frontman 15 cabinet. We sold a ton of these at Hotlicks back in the 80's and at $79 in 1986 money they weren't cheap, but they were a great little practice amp. With 3 gain stages and 3-band EQ, these are capable of loads of gain or it actually has a lot of headroom for a nice glistening Fender clean tone if desired. Features headphone out for private practice. I only paid $30 for the original beater amp but with another $35 for a non-working Frontman, and over an hour of bench time, I'm into it for almost $100 but at least it looks great now and I feel better selling it. Nice sounding little Fender and definitely a superior amp to the later model Frontman. Priced at $65. If you want the original amp from the Frontman, I'll throw them in for $10 and it might make a nice project.

Boss DS-1 Distortion, Boss's longest running distortion pedal, in production since 1978 and still a huge sellers 31 years later. It's noted for a distortion sound with a hard edge and a much lower noise level compared to other distortion pedals. Immaculate condition and just $32.

Ibanez DE7 Delay/Echo, (detail). Excellent sounding delay unit and well-built for the road with a metal housing, and pop-up knobs that recess into the body to prevent damage during use on dark stages. With delay time up to 2600ms, it's over 3 times the delay time of the Boss DD-3 and sounds as good to me. Has mode switch to select "echo" or "delay" and stereo outputs (dry and effected). Perfect shape in the box and a nice unit for $59.

ZZZ

Dean Thinline Gigbag, top quality bag, from the same makers as Taylor. Fits a thinline archtop, or a solid body electric if you don't mind it being slightly oversized. It does fit an ES-335/Dot style, but the length is tight and it works best to insert the headstock first and then slide the body in. Very thick, around 40mm, with handle straps, backpack straps, and velcro latch storage compartment. $35.

Digitech CF-7 Chorus Factory, Features 7 famed chorus models including the Voodoo Lab Analog Chorus, TC Electronic Stereo Chorus/Flanger, Fulltone Choralflange, Boss CH-1 Super Chorus, EH� Small Clone, DigiTech Multi Chorus, and Boss CE-5 Chorus Ensemble. Hmm, no CE-2? Why didn't they make it the CF-8 and include my favorite? Seriously, there's enough here to chose from and you're bound to find the chorus that nails your tone. Like all of the X-Series, the CF-7 offers more features than comparable models. It features the standard Speed, Depth, and Level knobs but each of these are stacked pots which gives the CF-7 three extra controls for each chorus effect. Dual outputs for mono or stereo operation. Lastly, the CF-7 also features Digitech's "Flexible Output Mode" which allows you to plug it directly into amplifiers or into a mixer utilizing built in cabinet modeling. For a quick audio demo, click here for flash demo, then click any of the 7 play buttons on the right side of the pedal. Mint in the box with everything. $69.

Marshall JH-1 Jackhammer Distortion, (pic2). Great choice for the player who wants a Marshall tone out of any amp. First knob is Crunch/Lead mode, followed by volume/gain stacked pot, then bass/treb stacked pot and finally Frequency which is a semi-parametric to allow you to dial in the mid frequency and the amount of boost or cut for that frequency - great for the scooped mids tone plus you can select the frequency you want to scoop. Solid metal housing - built like a tank. Click here for a pretty good YouTube demo. Perfect shape in the box with manual. $59.

Boss NS-2 Noise Suppressor and Loop, very useful for getting rid of noise in your chain PLUS has a built in effects loop, $159 list on new, this one's player's grade but works perfectly for just $45.

Xotic RC Booster, from Xotic Effects USA, one of the best boosters on the market, touted for its having NO character at all. Their ads in Vintage Guitar magazine has quotes from some of the foremost players who use this unit including Brad Paisley, Scott Henderson, Johnny A, and Greg Howe, with many of these guys leaving video comments (click here) for the RC Booster. Its bass and treble controls make it more versatile than most boosters but it's claim to fame is a lot fatter tone without getting gained out. Sorry box fans, no box, but otherwise mint condition.

Hermida Audio Zendrive Overdrive. "From Clean to Overdrive". One of those legendary stompboxes among boutique gearheads, probably as much from the wait time to get a new one as the quality of the pedal itself. Not to detract from the Zendrive, it's a fantastic pedal, but when you see them selling at auction for more than a new one there's obviously something going on. Click here for Hermedia's site info, as well as a bunch of sound clips. Best stated in one of the reviews from The Gear Page, this pedal does it all - from Steely Dan to Jeff Beck to Brad Paisley. Although the patient customer can wait to have one built for $199, I've seen these on Ebay for $250-$300. This one's mint and $175(Tent Hold - Joseph S 1/20).

Morley Classic Wah, new; factory sealed. Classic Morley wah tone in a rugged, electro-optical effect pedal with roadworthy metal housing. Features LED indicator, easy-access battery compartment and perhaps best of all, Electro-optical control so no pot to get scratchy or wear out. Lists for $139 but this one's just $55.

********************************************

Zoom 505 II, all in one guitar processor, good for headphone practice or for stage use, 33 guitar effects with up to 9 at once, easy to store patches (36 patch locations), surprisingly good sounding unit with impressive pitch-shifting for 12-string type tones, excellent acoustic simulator, and even some good synth-type pads. Worth the price for a single effect such as the acoustic simulator. This unit is easy to get around on - I've never needed to refer to the manual, and is a lot of bang for the buck at just $45.

Fender Noiseless Jazz Set, that vintage Jazz tone without the hum. Some of the best pickups made for producing that distinctive J-bass tone without the 60-cycle noise of vintage style Jazz. New cost is $149 ($189 list) but this very clean pair is just $99.

*************************************

Boss DS-1 with Keeley Seeing Eye Mod, (pic2). Used by pro players such as Steve Vai and Joe Satriani - how's that for a heavy hitters club. Boss's original stomp box distortion is obviously a good pedal but the Keeley mod overcame some of its shortcomings. "Ice Pick" type distortion, with piercing highs is one of the main ailments, mainly noticeable at stage levels and may sound fine to bedroom users. The Seeing Eye mod not only increases the amount of gain available, but also makes it a smoother gain by properly tuning of the tone control circuit. In doing this, many of the original parts were replaced with premium components such as tantalum capacitors. To increase initial gain, Keeley uses a unique diode in the circuit, which doubles as the �Seeing Eye� you'll see as the "O" in the "Tone" control. As signals pass into the pedal, the LED flashes and pulses with equivalent intensity as your guitar signal. It's noteworthy to mention that this type of clipping is used to help add gain to Marshall�s Jubilee series amps and various other reissues. This is an older mod. I think all the recent ones had a mini-toggle switch added as well. Not especially clean condition but works perfectly and sounds great. Very nice sounding OD for $85.

Boss DS-1 Distortion, Boss' original compact distortion pedal. Stock, recent DS-1. Mint in box with manual. $35.

Hughes&Kettner Red Box MKIII Cabinetuator, the best guitar direct box (DI) for the money and better tone and less headaches than mic'ing your cabinet.

An upgrade over the MK II, the III features a switch to emulate either a 4x12-cabinet or combo. Works equally great live or studio, and runs on just about any power supply unit (9-15V AC or 9-24V DC), Phantom power, or 9V battery. Just as good as the reissued "Red Box Classic" but $50 cheaper at $69. If you don't need the 4X12/Combo switch, I have the MKII available for $59.

Trilogy Bridge TMB3 by Hipshot. I have a used one of these on my parts page - this one is identical but is brand new and never installed. If you're into trying alternate tunings, there is nothing better. You can add a few detuners such as an original Hipshot and Hipshot tuner and use drop tunings on two strings, which is pretty cool. The Trilogy, however, allows you to detune any and ALL strings. It is a direct retrofit for USA Fenders, no modification is required, so your Strat can be returned to stock if desired. In all, the Trilogy offers an amazing 723 possible tunings, all at the flick of the thumb, and includes sample tuning chart. Each string has 3 positions with a straight tuning and 2 detune stops. For more info checkout Hipshot here. This unit installs very easily and is the most versatile alternate tuning system ever devised. The last time I checked these were on back order and none were available but this one's here, brand new, and only $199. Ships in original box with manual.

Guyatone Wah Rocker WR2 and Micro Chorus MC3, Don't let size fool you. These diminutive Guyatone pedals are less than 1/2 the size of a Boss but they contain as much cool tone as any stomp box around. The WR2 is an excellent sounding envelope filter with more quack per square inch than anything ever made. Velocity sensitive/pick activated to keep the vowel sounds in sync with your playing. The MC3 is an analog chorus and designed such that the effect isn't more present in the mix than your guitar's original sound. It fades just like your analog guitar tone. Meticulously engineered, this is not the kind of chorus that produces detuned wobbles or annoying harmonic overtones, it simply adds a very musical texture that thickens your tone with a very natural tone. Best price I found on the web was $75 and $90 for the WR2 and MC3, respectively. Both of these are in beautiful shape and just $45 for the WR2 (sold) - MC3 available at $60.

Yamaha D1500 Rackmount Delay (pic2) (click lower right to expand both pics). The rack is back and you need a good digital delay to go in there. Years ago, these Yamaha D1500's were one of the best. Features 1024ms of delay, 8 user-defined presets, 5-position low pass filter, CV input for modulation, MIDI program change, XLR and 1/4" input/output with +4db and -20db output. Back in the day this unit, along with Yamaha's SPX-90, defined the studio and stage sound of countless artists, and the D1500 actually had better specs than the SPX. Expensive back in the day but in 2006, this clean one's just $139.

1980 Electroharmonix Bassballs, (inside pic), so clean you'll think it's a reissue but this one's actually 26 years old. Advertised as the first and only envelope follower of its kind. The vocal sound of its two sweeping filters gives bass a strong presence under leads, or a commanding quality when out front. The resonant frequencies are engineered solidly into the full range of the bass guitar�s strongest harmonics. Bassballs will respond to every bass note. The sweep is widely variable, and harmonic enrichment is available with the Fuzz engaged. Sounds equally at home on guitar or bass and this one, in collector's condition, is just $175.

Gibson 496R/500T Humbuckers, from a Les Paul Premium Plus, removed within a few months so clean shape. A new pair is $160 but they don't work any better than these for $119/pair.

Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N, zebra coils, mint in the box, for neck position, $59.

Seymour Duncan Trembucker, perfect shape, with ring, springs, screws, $59.

DiMarzio DLX-1 "Vintage" Soapbar, original 1980's model in beautiful shape including original info sheet. These were direct replacement for Gibson LP Deluxe mini-hums or P90 Soapbars. Includes both wood screws and machine screws in original box. $75. I might have a pair available if needed.

Barcus-Berry Contact Pickup, many of you old timers will remember these. Designed to attach to the top of your acoustic, with a standard cable and output jack. Pickups have come a long way since then but it's still a pretty cool idea. $35.

Wilkinson/Gotoh VSVG Tremolo, vintage style for Strat with locking saddles, nickel. These are high quality trems used on many higher end guitars and a good choice for an upgrade or project Strat. Sells for over $100 at Stew-Mac but this one's perfect and only $SOLD.

Akai Vari-Wah W-1. Akai always comes out with some cool features on their effects and the Vari-Wah is a good example - offering realtime control via the rocker pedal, something you don't usually find on other wah/swell. The Variwah combines a traditional wah, touch wah and swell wah in one unit. Touch wah settings control the automatic wah each time a chord or note exceeds the touch sensitivity threshold. Simply by hitting a chord or note, the Swell wah allows users to activate an oscillator, continuing the wah effect until the strings are muted. Variwah features a foot switch and assignable foot pedal which controls a number of user defined settings. Regardless of wah mode, the foot pedal can be used to change wah speed or depth and can also be specifically assigned to change swell wah depth, swell wah speed, wah filter movement and touch sensitivity. This may sound complicated but the pedal is very easy to get around on (no manual needed) and sounds excellent. List on new was $199 but this one's barely used and just $65.

Digitech Screamin' Blues OD/Distortion, These new X-series effects all have some cool features, such as the cabinet simulator output on this one. Maintly though, this pedal is an especially good choice for Blues guitarist or players looking for a pedal that responds well to playing dynamics (without spending $175 for a boutique effect). Playing lightly gives you a mild overdrive, but dialing up the gain and digging in hard willd deliver rich harmonics and sustain. Just use the Gain control to set the maximum distortion amount when playing your hardest. Also features dual outputs, with the Amp output for connecting directly to a guitar amplifier while the Mixer output features Cabinet Emulation circuitry for connecting directly to a mixing board or recording device. Good choice for home studio players. Digitech/DOD are defintely a good value on the used market and this is a quality pedal for just $45.

Danelectro Pastrami Overdrive, one of the mini-effects by Dano. Sounds good but you don't want to use this as part of you live setup. Step on it the wrong way and you have a pile of plastic instead of a guitar effect. With gentile use, it will probably last for many months and, hey, it's just $15!

Ernie Ball Volume Pedal, the one the pro's use. Built for years of road use, crystal clear, even taper - great for humbuckers or single coil. Nice shape and around 1/2 of new cost at $SOLD.

Zoom TM-01 Tri-Metal, one of the best metal distortions ever made - beats the Boss MT-2 in my opinion - and like most effects, became highly desirable after it was discontinued. The key to great tone is superb engineering with the most effective tone controls I've seen yet, including bass - treb - and sweepable mid - plus a triple-gain circuit. The best pedal for 7-string or lower tunings but sounds superb with standard tuning. Great reviews (9.2 on sound) at Harmony-Central. Like a lot of pedals, these pedals have become very popular after they were discontinued (due to non-popularity) and used examples are selling as high as the blowout price on the last batch of new ones. This one's near perfect cosmetically and a killer metal pedal for $85(HOLD-Jon P 7/7).

Grover 3+3 Tuners, Nickel, for Les Paul etc. New in the pack. $39(HOLD-Mark 5/20)

Tech 21 Comptortion, features both Distortion and Compression to achieve excellent guitar tones. The two effects are musically voiced to complement each other - and are independently adjustable so you can control the ratio for your personal taste. Characteristic of all Tech 21 products, the CompTortion is multifunctional, exceptionally versatile, and will induce lameness into your guitar tone. You can use either the compression or distortion separately or mix the two together. It can also be used for just a clean boost. This pedal isn't widely known but it's a great sounding pedal worth the money for the clean boost alone but you'll probably love the comptortion effect as well. Perfect shape with box and manual, $59.

Line 6 Bass POD Pro, (close-up), (back), delivers the most sought-after bass amp tones, including the Ampeg SVT and B-15, the Marshall Major and Plexi Super Bass, SWR ,Versatone and the Vox AC 100 - plus a large array of cabinet models and digital effects. In all, it features 16 Bass Amp Models,15 Bass Cabinet Models,and A.I.R., which is Line 6's proprietary technique for simulating the complex interaction of microphones and speaker cabinets. Sixteen digital effect combinations, specifically designed for bass, include Distortions, Phasers, Flanger, Envelope Follower and Octave Divider. The amp/cab combinations can be used as is, or mixed and matched to create custom sounds. 36 programmable channels are provided for storage of custom amp/cabs/effects. I've heard bassists that have used this amp straight into the board at clubs and it sounds spectacular and it's very well known for being a world-class studio preamp. With this unit in the studio, you'll have the capability to nail any bass tone ever recorded or add a power amp and nail it live. These sold in stores for $599 ($800 list) before they came out with the XT a few years ago and it's an exceptional unit--in mint condition--for less than 1/2 the new cost at $239(HOLD-Joe B 6/15).

Boss BF-2 Flanger, nice shape in the box with manual. First one I've had with this yellow label. $49.

Boss HF-2 High Band Flanger, green bottom Japan model and pretty rare and discontinued 10 years ago. The HF-2 is famous for a brighter tone than the other Boss models and sounds great on guitars or string patches on keyboards. Exceptionally clean condition - definitely worthy of the collection, $99.

Rola Celestion G12-80, a true classic and I think these are 70's - email me if you know. Sound great and perfect to restore your JMP Marshall combo. $139/each or $239/pair (Tent. Hold - Jay 4/10).

Pearl Double Bass Pedal, my drummer buddy said that this is a GOOD one. Works perfectly. $150.

Joe Barden Strat Pickup, I only have one of these, proper mellow reading of 4.62K. I've seen these go for crazy money and they've become legend since Joe stopped building them a few years ago. This one's $225.

Warwick Rockcase Snakeskin Case, (pic2), for electric, mint cond, $65.

Electroharmonix Russian Small Stone Phaser, good sounding and built like a Russian tank, rate control and depth switch, $45

Sovtek Big Muff Pi, (pic2), an early version green, with the faded black print and first version knobs, these pedals have been going up but they're still a good value for a good sounding Muff, $85(HOLD-Nicholas 8/24).

Ernie Ball Stereo Volume/Pan, very well made passive volume pedal. Runs in mono or stereo, foot Sideswitch to put you in either Pan or Volume mode anywhere in the pedal's travel, minimum volume preset pot on side, does equal or unequal panning. Great for doing steel guitar licks or any other volume swells - or more versatility in any stereo setup. The current version is $149 in the stores but this earlier model works perfectly and is just $79(HOLD-Don C 8/30).

Ibanez BC9 Bi-Mode Chorus, 1984, very cool and pretty rare among the original 9-series - this is perhaps the 4th one I've ever had. Separate controls for two chorus' which you can switch between or run simultaneously. Capable of doing some really wacky stuff as shown by Munky of Korn who uses this pedal. Not at all mint but works perfectly, $110(SOLD 3/20).

Ibanez BC-10 Graphic Bass EQ, for you 10-series collectors, here's another one that doesn't come along often. Like most pedals, much more rare than the guitar version. Very clean shape and works perfectly, $65.

Ibanez PH7 Phaser, I like these 7-series Tone Lok series. For the money they give you good durability, good tone, and with a mode switch - more options than any other moderately priced pedal. Knobs "pop out" for adjustment and then pop in to keep them out of the way. $35.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

1984 Electroharmonix Small Stone Phase Shifter, model EH4800, simple to operate, with just a rate knob and color switch, but an excellent sounding Phaser despite it's limitations. Collector approved in near mint shape - looks clean enough to be a barely used reissue - and includes original box and manual. A USA reissue Small Stone is going to run you $84 but get one that will go UP in value, $119.

RackKrate 6-space Rack, good economical rack but solidly built. $39(SOLD-Michael C)

Cradle Guitar Stands, very compact - folds down to 15"X2.5"X2.5". For you guys who do guitar shows, this equates to being able to transport 25 stands in a box that's just around one cubic foot. I think I have around 40 of these available, new in the box, priced at $15/each or quantity discounts to $6/each for 25 or more.

Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail Reverb, one of the best an most natural-sounding digital reverbs ever on any of three built-in algorithms. Perfect emulation of classic spring reverb so natural that even Surf God Dick Dale couldn't tell the difference. Hall reverb is so lush and spacious that you'll feel like you're playing in the Fillmore. Flerb is just totally unique and it can add new a totally new dimension and change your playing style. Lots of cool tones in a small pedal and even if your amp has reverb, you'll probably never use it again. Brand new condition - not a scratch - and includes manual and paperwork in the box, $85(HOLD-Ron L 1/31).

Line 6 ToneCore Space Chorus, NOT just a Chorus - much, much more.

Tweak your sound with adjustable speed, shape, and depth while controlling the rate with Tap Tempo so you can sync your rate to the rhythm of the song. Also features stereo ins and outs so you can run stereo for the lushest sound imaginable. Sells everywhere for $119 but this one's in perfect condition for just $75. Includes original manual.

Seymour Duncan Designed Pair, includes 103N and 103B, removed from a new Jackson so both are in perfect condition. A lot of people swear by these pickups and I think they're a definite upgrade to Epi's and many other mid-line guitars. $49 takes the pair.

*******************************************

Boss AC-2 Acoustic Simulator, perhaps the best acoustic pedal ever made. Much more versatile than a Fishman bridge - and cheaper too. Very clean shape, $55(HOLD-Steve 11/6).

Boss GE-7 Equalizer, for the player on a budget. Japan quality but missing bottom label and plastic tips on sliders. Level slider broken but moves easily. Rough looking but sounds as good as any and priced 1/2 of what clean Japan ones go for at $35.

Morley Bad Horsie Wah, designed for Steve Vai and voiced for his playing. Like many Morley's, spring loaded so it says in the "up" position when not used - makes it easy to rock and is more precise than a Crybaby. Strictly players grade but works great. $49.

Sans Amp GT-2, one of the best, most versatile pedals ever. Can be used as a distortion pedal into your amp - or skip your amp and run directly into the recording deck or PA mixer. For more details check out Tech 21's Site. Nice shape and a great pedal for $99(HOLD-Phil T 2/16).

Sovtek Big Muff, these have gone way up recently. Why? Because they sound great, better than the old EH models, and are built to take on a bomb attack. This one is freshly painted Army Green and missing the bottom cover. Player's value at $79.

Nady Compression Sustainer PS-010, call me crazy but this might be the best sounding compressor I have in stock. It sounds very retro and many of the settings aren't very subtle, but if you want your compressor to sound like an effect, this one does it. Back off the dials and you have a more normal sounding comp. These haven't been made for a long time, 80's perhaps, but this one has remained in beautiful condition. I know there are a few Nady or oddball Japan pedals out there and this will fit in beautifully in any collection - or for the player I think it's better than Boss at just a little more cash. $85(SOLD-Les 2/21).

Ibanez SF10 Swell Flanger, (pic2), one of the best flangers of all time and certainly my favorite of all Ibanez/Boss products - and on par with the old ADA. 10-series are as good, or better, than 9-series, are also built for a lifetime of use, and are a better bargain. Read reviews here. One of the knobs is from another 10-seres but overall this thing's in really nice shape. $65.

Tom Scholz Power Soak, lets you run your 50-100 watt amp full blast and attenuate the volume down to room level. The Power Soak was one of the first and is still a good unit - for a lot less than a Marshall Power Break or boutique brand. Operating instructions on back panel. $99(sold-Mike 8/6).

Arion Analog Delay SAD-3, stereo, I got these as an alternative to the $150-$200 vintage Boss/Ibanez units. They have all the advantages of analog (warm and natural) without the disadvantages (price). Seriously, a lot of players couldn't tell the difference between these and a vintage model. New in the box for around 1/4 the price of a vintage model at $45.

DiMarzio DP-82 Fast Track 2 PU208, three times the punch of a stock single coil with plenty of mid-range punch, works for any string spacing, recommended for bridge position on a Strat, sounds like a "Super Distortion" or "Super 3" in a single coil size, $39/ea.
DiMarzio DP-169 Virtual Vintage P-90 PU400, new in the box and possibly the ultimate Soapbar pickup, good for neck or bridge and sonically very accurate to a vintage P90 - without the hum! A nice upgrade for your P100 Gibson or others. $99/pair.

*Note: We just got in what is possibly the last 3 Zakk Wylde's at the Price of $629 - cosmetic 2nd's but I can't find a flaw. We can install an EMG 81/85 set and with the old pickups paying for labor, you can have a Zaak with the same setup as the $3000 Gibson model for just $799. I only have two of the EMG 81/85 sets at this price so...act now!

Single String Special - We have a LOT of extra 1st and 2nd strings in 9, 10, 11, and 13 ga., the strings most players break. Most are S.I.T. Order some extras, priced at 10 strings for $5 with free shipping via first class mail or $9 for Priority Mail w/tracking.

1972 Vintage Musicmaster/Bronco Case, also fits Mustang. I got this from a local Mom&Pop store that's been in business for 40 years and it was in their basement since the '70's. With this Fender logo, it's proper for a '72 through mid-70's, when the "tail" was added to the logo. It's actually "new, old stock" and still has the factory tag on the handle. Very near mint, 9.5 condition, and priced less than a new Fender tolex case at $100.
