Boring articles, generic reviews.

Sat, 15 Mar 2003 02:17:54 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - Whenever I visit a Borders I usually flip through a few guitar magazines. I have been playing for quite some time and I enjoy reading about new gear and such. However, I find that Guitar Player makes for the most boring reads. The articles often offer...

200 bucks and double the strings!

Sun, 9 Mar 2003 05:27:24 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh -

Your average value oriented dreadnought acoustic guitar usually starts at around 200 dollars, has a familiar, boring shape, decent sound quality-does its job and you won’t have to live off of Spam for the next six months. That’s what I...

Fender brings back a classic body style with a twist

Fri, 29 Nov 2002 04:15:50 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - About a week ago I walked into my local Guitar Center and somehow this Fender Cyclone caught my eye. I’ve always stuck to staples (Strats, Teles, etc) and don’t find them boring but the Cyclone certainly stands out among Fender’s electric...

Solid LP with upgraded features, it rocks hard

Wed, 23 Oct 2002 02:25:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - Take your average Gibson Les Paul Standard, give it a real slick neck (Gibson calls it slim-taper), hot pickups that are actually high-output, and you have got yourself one hell of a Les Paul. I have always loved the Les Paul tone and this one improves...

A modern museum with colorful displays, unfortunately I doubt Mr. Steinbeck himself would have approved

Sun, 20 Oct 2002 05:04:59 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - I first read 'Of Mice and Men' a few years ago and since then there has almost always been a Steinbeck novel no more than a couple feet away from me! I was thrilled to learn that there was an entire museum devoted solely to John Steinbeck. From what I...

Good beginner's amp but it needs to cover more ground

Sat, 24 Aug 2002 01:47:24 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - I've used this amp with just about every guitar out there. I usually take this along for casual, low-level jams. It's a basic solid state amp, 2 channels, reverb, headphone and speaker out jacks, 25 watts into a 10" speaker with your common controls (3...

A good amp with solid clean and mild overdrive

Sat, 27 Jul 2002 18:59:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - This Fender features 40 Watts of all tube (2 6L6's & 3 12AX7's, which I believe are Groove Tubes) power, a 12" Eminence speaker, footswitch, spring reverb, 2 + 1 channels (+ 1 being the 'More Drive' switch with a bright switch). Has your average controls...

A great playing Tele with some nice electronics

Sat, 27 Jul 2002 02:09:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - This is a new Telecaster Custom, a reissue of the '72. Post 1972 Telecasters had a different neck pocket which make the '72 versions more favorable. Fender changed and dropped this model sometime in the 1980's. 1972 was the introduction of this model...

Excellent guitar, one of the finest around

Fri, 26 Jul 2002 02:27:11 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - The 2001 SG Standard's features are the standard issue 490R and 498T passive pickups. The pickups are much quieter than earlier versions. It has a 3 ply 22 fret mahogony set neck with a solid mahogony body. The neck is slender and bound with a...

20 watts of pure Marshall roar

Sun, 23 Dec 2001 19:39:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - I purchased this JCM2000 DSL 201 20-watt version (there are two versions, a 20 watt and a 40 watt) about a month ago during a Guitar Center sale. It lists for approximately $800 and at retail it usually goes for $600. The Guitar Center sale knocked off...

A fun toy that comes in handy

Mon, 16 Jul 2001 02:54:17 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - I received the Casio 880 as a Christmas present and I have found it to be quite useful. Its screen is a bit small and the picture quality is not any better than a Sega Game Gear but for most purposes it does a fine job. At times, the reflection of the...

Sleek look and comfort coupled to poor sound

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 04:47:10 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - I have had these since Christmas of 2000 and have used it quite a bit since. The thing I like the most about it is the one piece design. Unlike other headphones, it does not have a band that goes over your head, nor does it have earpieces that slide on...

One of Gibson's least expensive guitars is also one of its best!

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 03:57:55 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - Standard SG features like dual humbuckers (on this guitar they're dual 490s), 3 way switch, volume/tone pot for each, stopboar tailpiece/tune-o-matic bridge, set neck, mahogany body and neck, 24 3/4" scale. It's basically an SG Special with black...

Powerful, reliable, cheap and the bio wheel is pretty cool

Sun, 24 Dec 2000 23:37:49 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - I could no longer stand siphoning my tank once every few weeks so I finally caved in and decided to buy a filter. When I went to my local aquarium I was rather confused seeing that there were dozens of filters. A friend of mine had said that the...

Sony KV-27V40: Sharp picture and rich sounding speakers, but very expensive

Fri, 22 Dec 2000 22:05:53 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - I have had the KV 27V40 for the better part of a year and (other than the price I paid) I am quite pleased with it. It yields excellent picture and rich sounding speakers. The overall layout is very straightforward and easy to use. A/V connections are...

Simply put the best album by The Smashing Pumpkins

Wed, 20 Dec 2000 04:27:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - I purchased this album after hearing the hit songs such as "Today," "Cherub Rock," "Disarm," etc. When I brought it home I fell in love with it and it has since been my all time favorite album by any band. I suppose what I...

Looking for the best multimedia system-well look no further!

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 03:32:53 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - I own all three of the 3 piece subwoofer/satellite systems from Cambridge SoundWorks and this is by far the best. I have one for my computer and one for my TV. The MicroWorks adds almost another dimension to the already great sounding PC Works and...

Excellent sound with improved response

Tue, 19 Dec 2000 02:58:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - I currently own the PC Works, SoundWorks, and the MicroWorks. The first set I purchased was the PC Works and while it is an excellent system I wanted more "oomph" and better defined bass and treble. The SoundWorks retains the compact size of...

Don't be fooled by its diminutive size, its amazing!

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 03:52:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - When I was building my second computer I was unsure of what speakers I should use. I asked my cousin’s advice and he suggested that I demo the Cambridge SoundWorks line of speakers. At the store (which by the way is basically a showroom for all the...

You get what you pay for

Mon, 18 Dec 2000 02:13:39 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - A few years ago I purchased a "starter kit" aquarium set that included a tank, undergravel filter, lighting fixture, heater, and this airpump. Despite the majority of the included items are of near "disposable" quality I still...

Versatile guitar that has that good old Strat tone!

Sun, 29 Oct 2000 06:36:26 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - If you're in the market for a single coil solid body electric look no further. The American Standard has great tone, perfect rock, blues, jazz, folk, you name it. My styles are mostly rock and blues and this guitar nails it with perfection. The only...

Palm IIIe Personal Organizer: Nothing short of amazing for a 16 MHz, 2MB PDA

Thu, 15 Jun 2000 19:03:00 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - Since the Palm Pilot Professional came out, I've also wanted one but I was never able to get around the price. Prices only got worse with the introduction of the IIIx and V, and then the IIIe came along for 150! I knew I could benefit from its...

Archived Computer Hardware Reviews: A great keyboard, comfortable, with lots of "hot keys"

Sun, 16 Apr 2000 21:58:20 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author Gumboh - For those who just can’t get used to a natural keyboard then a Logitech keyboard, like this one, should fit you well. It has an excellent (standard) layout with just the right amount of key resistance and plenty of useful shortcuts. Once you install...

This is the ideal album to get if you're interested in the Barenaked Ladies or want to see what the Ladies are like in concert. Even if you hate the Ladies you should definitely go to their concerts, those guys are really creative and funny live...
