Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I don't believe you'd turn it away if you were offered one at a price you could trivially afford.

Like, if Crackhead Bob shows up with it (probably stolen, but no questions get asked with Crackhead Bob) and offers to sell it to you for $25, I bet you'd take it!

I have much, much better gear. I can also trivially afford the price - I just have to pretend that I can't trivially afford it.

Oh hell yeah I would take it and play the fuck out of it!

Everyone thinks of it as only a practice amp - but I'd be surprised if it wouldn't also suit as a small venue amp. (Lots of people don't realize how loud 25 watts actually can be, especially in a coffee shop that seats just 30 or 50 people.)

I also have to be budget minded. I can't really ruin my goal - which is to see how cheap you can really get into it.

I think I should also order a luthier's kit, maybe a 70ish piece kit. But, a new guitarist wouldn't know how to use the tools. They could watch YouTube and learn. I probably should have watched a video before making the small adjustment to fix the trivial intonation issue on the low E string.

I just adjusted it, without watching video or reading an article. "If it's sharp, make it longer. If it's flat, make it shorter."

Yeah I would bet nine out of ten people would watch a repair video pertaining to what they were planning on doing before they did it if they were a beginner.

is what I use for a practice amp. I had the Marshall one on the top and one of my friends came over and gave me the other amp, it's a First Act, and i tested it and it did not work, so I bolted it to the bottom of the little marshall and wired the speaker up so now I have two speakers running and that thing can make it loud enough in head where you can not communicate, even yelling at the top of your lungs
