Nice Jammermatt!.. Here are two soso photos of the guitar(even though the neck does not show it is inverted) and the amp(too bright..sorry), both a perfect match. They belong to "la familia". Cheers!   |

I'm the forum hobo I suppose, with an Avatar cab. The cab's just a box to me I guess, six plywood boards. Mine's open backed as I like a kind of airiness over big bass, and loaded with the Emi "X" pattern, although it's a 2x12 so really more of a "-" pattern.   |

WOW luigi that guitar is awsome! What brand is it? My cab is loaded with v30's, I wanted to change speakers but I came to a conclusion that avatar cabs sucks, so i'll be ordering a splawn 2x12 soon. Anyway, here's mine: (thanks ayton)  |

Nice Guitars Ayton, and the amp color is awesome!. Thanks Loosecannon, man love that blue see thru amp, very nice!. The guitar was made at RS Guitarworks and it is mahogany with a maple top, dunlop 6100 neck and original Floyd rose tremolo, the pickups are Bare Knuckle Miracle Man. Have a great week and take care.

Man, love those heads. Love the flames, love the cocoa, and LOVE that purple. Love the classic styling of the Cocoa. I have almost that exact Avatar 4x12 that Loose has - but mine has Hellatone V30/H30. I think it sounds just fine, especially for the money - but I'm easy baby.
Wish I had Ayton's Ingvay licks.

My Comp isn't here yet  Anyway, for you guys bagging on the Avatar cabs........... I had the older, front-loaded, Avatar standard and thought is was lacking big time myself. I used my Splawn Standard 2x12 w/ g12h30's instead. However, I also have an Avatar Vintage oversized 2x12 loaded with WGS Classics. Since I got this cab, I have sold my Splawn cab. The newer Avatars are rear loaded and are EXCELLENT cabs IMO. Very similar to the Bogner oversized cabs and probably the new Splawn oversized as well. They can't be beat for the $$$. I'll eventually grab a Splawn oversized to match my head. But the Avatar is kiler all around. |

troublehead- the problem with avatars is that they build their cabs from thin plywood, they say it's 13 layers but just by looking at it and the splawn 2x12 you can see the splawn is thicker on the outer shell. Are the newer cabs made from thicker plywood? Ohh and matt, are you color blind? It's blue man . Cool rig you have there, are the kids plugged in the loop or in front of the amp? |

Red/Green color blind but it bleeds on over to other colors LOL!! I have a terrible time with colors. Purple and Blue give me a tough time. No worries - it's part of my charm. Gets me out of choosing paint and furniture colors, so there IS an upside to it. As for the boys, I tried them in front, but they tend to color the tone, and now I run them in the loop. Need a noise gate 'cause they're daggone loud. Their batteries NEVER run out. |

Thanks Windsen, could not beat the price of the Splawn for built, quality, hand wire...Wow, or the guitar (Loosecanon... The final price came to 1800$, all built to the spec, the most expensive part was the original floyd. There are many luthiers out there that are making excellent quality guitars(this one guy in England...Feline Guitars, also Legra, Mansell), I would nothing beats having everything done the way you want and for the 3erd of the price of the custom shop big name company. The dollar is not strong at the moment, so it might be better to look here than in Europe, still worth checking. Jammermatt.. Thats a nice amp+cab you got there, Black...nice!
