Having Trouble Searching Through Ebay and Craigslist?

Found this website through a frequent poster on Ultimate Guitar 311ZOSOVHJH
It can be extremely helpful if you want to search Ebay or Craigslist but you don't want to sift through all of the junk, or being over specific when it comes to searches.

This site is quite helpful for searching music gear, and PA equipment at used prices but in stock at specific stores.

Wattgrinder - Tone Grinder

Many guitarists find themselves debating which tubes to use for optimal performance of their amplifiers, NOS, Russian, Chinese, and brands which make specific tubes.

WattGrinder has created a solid state, non glass, non deteriorating tube for consistant performance throughout the life of your amp... not your tubes.

Monster Cables Part 1:

Being an avid guitarist for quite a few years now, spending much time outside of practicing on Ultimate-Guitar and Harmony Central, I am "in-the-know" for the newer, older, high quality, low quality gear and the companies that make them. Some of the frequent topics I see involve "What cables should I buy?", or "Who makes the best cable". Like usual, the bandwagon comes in with the typical response "Monster cable makes the best, they have a lifetime warranty, and they sound so great, they're so much better than my X brand cable". I will admit; Monster builds a decent cable, one comparable to a $25 Dimarzio cable but, no where near their $59.99+ price range. Most cables have a lifetime warranty anyway, so why pay more for Monster Cable's junk. Their quarter inch ends are slightly oversized as well; frequent use of Monster Cables bore out your input jack slightly, to the point where the only cables that you can use are DUH! DUH! DAH!...Monster Cables. My personal recommendation are Planet Waves if you're trying to keep the cable below $40, Cobalt Cables for less than $100, and Solid Cables for premium sound quality for around $150-$250.

Further comparisons of Monster Cables vs. a coat hanger:

I would like to add; with guitar sound quality is more important than a home stereo system because it is not only about the sound quality but also the amount of signal getting to the amplifier. This can change the overall feel of an amp and how it responds to your playing. Monster does build a superior cable to many of the lower end brands; however, most of their pricing comes from their name and their gimmicks to lure people into buying their product.
