INCOMING! I'm thrilled, I am finally going to be joining the Electra Dyne club shortly. Been wanting one since they came out. Long time Lone Star evangelist, which I remain, but I cannot wait to fire up my new beast when it arrives. I have a medium head en route. Probably in next week. First...

Well, I've joined another Mesa club. For whatever reason I've been obsessed with the TA amps, figuring they'd be a good intro to the Vox world for a Mesa enthusiast who couldn't be satisfied with an amp that just does one thing (i.e., a Vox). I'd tried both the 15 and the 30 out a couple of...

Hey people, I'm really curious about the Royal Atlantic 2x12 speaker cab (this one: http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Guitar%20Cabinets/RoyalAtlanticCABS/RA2x12-LG.htm) Does anyone here have it? Do you like it? What's the scoop?

My band Curtis Bumpy is at the Brick & Mortar Music Hall on Feb 18, 2012, with Afrofunk Experience. The other guitarist in CB is also in AFE. We both play Mesas, I'll have my LSC and he should have his old MkIII. http://www.brickandmortarmusic.com/event/87681/

I have some questions for the Fulltone Fulldrive 2 enthusiasts: How do you use the FD2 with the Lone Star? Does anyone feel like schooling me on this? I've never been much of a Tube Screamer guy -- I could never see why I'd want that midrange hump, but just recently it dawned on me that...

I'm talking about this one: http://www.mesaboogie.com/Product_Info/Guitar%20Cabinets/ThreeQuarterCABS/TQ-2x12-LG.htm I've played with the 3/4 1x12, and I thought it sounded amazing... but it was bigger than I needed at the time, so I unloaded it. Now I'm thinking about the 2x12, but wondering...

...That new Royal Atlantic RA-100 sure looks nice.

Will be busting out the funk at CODA in San Francisco this Friday night. I'll be chanking through my Lone Star Classic. The other guitarist usually brings his MkIII combo too. Good scene. Come and help us fog up the windows. Curtis Bumpy Friday, December 17 2010 10PM | 10. CODA | 1710 Mission...

First off: Happy Thanksgiving everyone! So I've been running some JJ 6L6s in my LSC for the past, oh, 8 months or so. Not gigging as much as I would like, but I work at home and get to take noodle-breaks frequently, which means my amp (which is right next to my desk) is on frequently, almost...

We get the funk on again. With Omega Brooks, Josh Jones, and perhaps a special guest or two. At CODA this Saturday night, September 11 2010. Word. Curtis Bumpy w/Omega Brooks Saturday, September 11 2010 CODA / 1710 Mission St, SF / http://www.codalive.com 10:00pm / $10 www.curtisbumpy.com

Will fire up my Lone Star (re-jiggered from combo to head + cab -- first show with my new LS 1x12 cabinet) with my funk/jazz/bump ensemble Curtis Bumpy (featuring Omega Brooks) TONIGHT (that's Thursday). Come on down, the food is boomin' and it's a good scene. Curtis Bumpy...

Will fire up my NEWLY RE-CONFIGURED Lone Star (combo to head + cab) with my lovely funk/jazz/bump ensemble Curtis Bumpy (featuring Omega Brooks) this weekend. Come on down, the food is boomin' and it's a good scene. Curtis Bumpy (http://www.curtisbumpy.com) FRIDAY APRIL 9, 2010 CODA / 1710...

Both sad and beautiful. Bittersweet. I'm gigging more these days, which is good news, but it also means: screw hauling that damned pig all over the place. So my rig has undergone a bit of a transformation lately: new pedalboard (got a PT2) and soft cases for everything. And I finally pulled...

I had a kind of a random thought the other day. So, you know I'm a tweaker. In the last year, having pretty much settled on my LSC's tweak-state, I've been tweaking my guitars. The most recent additions to the family are my two Fenders -- an American Standard Tele, and an American Deluxe...

Will fire up the ol' Lone Star with my lovely funk/jazz/bump ensemble Curtis Bumpy this weekend. Come on down, the food is boomin' and it's a good scene. Curtis Bumpy (http://www.curtisbumpy.com) SATURDAY, JANUARY 16 CODA / 1710 Mission (@Duboce), SF (http://www.codalive.com) Peace.

So, I'm either suffering from a ridiculous attack of GAS, or I'm starting to wonder if I could shave a few pounds off my load with a different amp. I know! Say it isn't so. I ~*~LOVE~*~ my LSC and I'll never get rid of it, but I've been getting the old sweaty palm curiosity about the Blue Angel...

Ok, I have escalated the idea of converting my 1x12 LSC combo (PIG) to a head and cab configuration. Does anyone who has done this have any regrets? Head owners, any speaker cabinet recommendations? Or things to avoid? I have a variety of speakers lying around, and am trying to decide whether...

Lone Star Reeder Mod #2: The "Mid Mod" Charles Reeder's original thread is here: 'Flabby/Muddy' Bass on the Lonestar? Want to change it? Lots of additional information and theorizing throughout the original thread, some further mod ideas, and one or two diagrams. BASIC MOD DESCRIPTION: Add a...

My band Curtis Bumpy hits at 9:30 tonight, at the Boom Boom Room (John Lee Hooker's old joint) on Fillmore in SF. We play soulful funky music. I have a souped-up Lone Star Classic and a nice retro vibe going. It'll also be the first show with my renovated Strat, which I'm falling in love with...

Dudes. Some of you may have done this already, and I should have. But I just did and I wanna share. After a recent recording session in which it became obvious to me that I couldn't quite get the oomph going at an appropriate volume level, I realized I needed to go back to the 6V6/YellowJacket...
