100th episode: All southern accent episode. Main Topic: Peavey stuff

what a privilege to be rig-dipped by such esteemed dipsmen. cheers, dudes!

If you make a "If Peavey made a boat...I'd buy it." shirt, count me in for one.

I can still hear the sustain on that opening track 23 minutes in. Nigel would be proud.

I am 100% willing to help you out with your pedal issue Rhett. I will graciously take any and all pedals you don’t want anymore. It’ll be rough for me ya know finding a spot to put it in my home but, for you, I can do that. 😂😂

I regretted selling my first guitar, a black 1989 Fender HM Strat, in like 1999 because they weren’t “cool” anymore and I was young and stupid. But I fixed that 20-year long regret recently when I got another one in way better shape than mine was when I sold it (like mint but one dent).

I’m completely embedded with The ‘keep what beings joy’ philosophy; for me, it’s allowed me to maintain a balance with my G.A.S as well as help me avoid sellers remorse

Great to hear you guys digging on the Revstar! I love my P90 equipped one.

I would vote for Dipped in Tone for President

Rhett literally has a different microphone every episode

I got my second shot this upcoming Thursday, felt kinda sick the day after my first one, the worst out of my family/friends of course (Here in Canada we are finally just starting 2nd doses so we are behind you guys). Wish me luck for how I feel with my second lol. Some how skipped this episode of the pod and just got back to it, great episode as always guys!

I usually move gear for the reasons Zach might, but I also gravitate towards gear more in the Rhett camp. Also Reverb is fast becoming the “list high here” place, but take offers...elsewhere. 😉 - use their eyes they provide, but tiptoe around a bit.

Hey guys love the podcast been watching for a long time great job!

I have a Yamaha EGV-300, and SGV-300 and SGV-800. Love those flying samurais!

Have an issue with a cheap, but nice acoustic guitar. It plays fine, but the pickup system isn't working at the moment. I'm thinking about selling it. What should I do with it: - Go to a tech and see if the current pickup can be fixed? - Buy a replacement pickup system?

Great podcast guys!

Silk and Steel are suggested to use on a lot of 12 string acoustics as they also have less tension.

I’ve done a pedal demo without shoes. I got a lot of grief on Instagram. Lesson learned. 😂

Phil McKnight has a thing with his friends (which I have had the same kinda thing with my friends) where if you buy something from them and sometime down the line want to sell it, you have to offer it to the person you bought if from first, "Right of first refusal". It always sucks when you were in desperate need of $ and you sell something to a friend and then you find out they flipped it immediately for $$$, and they could have aimed you at the person. Hell, I'd have gladly given that person a cut as a finders fee.

I love the idea of a big neck profile. But I came to realise thickness makes little difference to me when playing, while the shape of the shoulder was more important. Weight is an issue only because my back is done from thirty years of a Fender twin. Otherwise I aspire to a one guitar philosophy, but enjoy the different feel and sounds of different electrics. In terms of tone my big lesson over thirty years is get the amp right first, then see what it does for your guitars.

I always start my listing from scratch on reverb. I look at the selling prices of the same item. I price low on the scale and show lots of photos. Things sell quickly for me.

Rhett- I can't remember which video or podcast you said you were using 9's on all your guitars except the Serus J probably based on the string angle at the bridge. I switched to 9's on my Serus J and added a Buzz Stop made for Jazzmasters or Jaguars and it greatly increases the angle of the strings making 9's work and stay in tune. Maybe you already considered this, but adding the Buzz Stop does not drill any new holes or anything and the 9's stay in tune.

It's pretty interesting hearing the different perspectives on selling / buying used gear. I'm from Canada and it's quite a bit different up here. I would say about 95% of the time people will give you their home address to come and check out the gear. The price haggling usually happens before you even check out the gear so when you meet up it's just a straight up exchange of the gear for the money at the previously agreed to price. Obviously if you show up and the item isn't as it was advertised then there is room for negotiation but most of the time that's not the case. The recent trend for selling gear (especially smaller items like pedals) because of the pandemic is porch pickup. Essentially the seller leaves the pedal in their mailbox, the buyer shows up at the agreed time, takes the pedal and leaves the agreed amount of money. I've done this several times with no issues. Never talked to the buyer in person, only through the buying/selling platform. Anyways, another great episode from you guys. Thanks again.

Butcher and Bee was the restaurant you were thinking of. And it's delicious!

The only piece of gear I semi-regret selling was my 2005 Mexican Strat with a satin finished body and all black plastic parts. I mostly miss the satin body, in midnight wine, whilst the rest of the guitar was so so. I installed different pickups but the neck had worn down vintage style frets, which I don't like, so I still sounded thin. I know satin Strats are available so that could be a future purpose

47:35 He means haggling / negotiating. Bartering is trading goods for goods (as opposed to goods for $)

I definitely have a certain taste I sell things only to get better but once you have the best there’s nowhere to go.

It would be great if you could discuss playing with an injured or handicapped fretting hand/wrist. I'm recovering from wrist surgery 3 months ago and going forward, will likely try to minimise bar chords. If you could touch on your experiences, or provide any tips to minimise wrist stress that would be great. Thanks for the podcast.

I've sold a gibson V, an epiphone lp and an acoustic. Regretted all but the acoustic and really sold them at a fair/cheaper price than normal. I kind of decided I'm not buying anything I can't see myself keeping and using now. I miss my V so much

You need to start a podcast about food! great job guys with all you do 👏🏻👏🏻

Ugh, what a perfect episode as I wrestle with selling a Reverend Manta Ray, just threw new pickups in it to try and breathe new life into it only a couple months ago. But it's still not vibing how I want, should I try another swap is what I keep telling myself, or just move it and get something better suited for me.

ebay made an exception for music gear. the fee is around 3.5% now. They did that to match Reverb, but now Reverb's fees have been increased...

Rhetts restaurant opinions are a little snarky..,I liked it.

Local face to face sale trumps online for me. I have met some cool people. Way less painful than risk involved in getting scammed or shipping hassle catastrophe. If in a small town, though, you gotta be really really patient and the market is simply smaller. I had a Les Paul for sale that took forever to sell even at a great price. A beauty Les Paul??? But it happens. Having said all of that . . . sometimes though . . . if the piece is really unique and you need a wider audience. I had a funky vintage Westone Concord III in sparkle red . . . no one local knew what it was. Had to put it on eBay where a collector of funky vintage Japanese happily grabbed it.

I have some core gear that I will never sell, like Rhett, I have sentimental attachments to them. I’ve also had them so long they are such a part of my setup, I reckon I’d struggle to play without them

ohh here for the ATDI references

I too want the Chris Buck Revstar.

I recently sold a guitar via consignment with a local shop that I like. Their commission was huge but it sold for over $1k and it was nice to be able to support the shop during COVID. To Rhett's point, it was great not to have to deal with ANYTHING. I just agreed to a minimum price with the shop then got a check a few months later. I also have a buddy who seems to get a new guitar every other week and loves being active on Reverb. He's always turning gear and seems to always have a fresh story about a headache with a buyer or seller. He enjoys it though. Good for him, it's just not for me.

Hot Cake rocks 🤘 in front of British amps and pedals.

Rhett & Zach mes amis > fun facts (or not) Hot Cake > Paul Crowther ex Split Enz drummer then 'Enz' designed the Hot Cake specifically for a Vox AC30

The new stuff for hx stomp 3.1 doesn't show up on hx edit but its on the stomp

I rarely completely agree with Rhett but l'd rather buy new than have to meet and haggle.

I’m big on feel, so if I buy something in the store, it pretty much never leaves my hands. But if I buy something online, it’s a big coin flip. Even if it’s theoretically awesome 😩

y'all should enable chat replay...

I will "low-ball" people who have a ridiculous price with an offer within the actual price range. Did it a few times getting an HP-2

Rhett, when you plan to unload some stuff, let me know and I’ll meet you at Righteous...save you fees and shipping.

Don’t get bbq in nashville. Drive south 2 hours to athens al and get 306 bbq.

Looking for Rhett's Pod Go files. Anyone know where to find them. He just has Kemper and Helix listed on his site. Helix will not translate to Pod Go.

I want to see a reaction video to Rhett watching Tash Sultana's Tiny Desk Concert - bare feet giving the pedals a massive workout.

I used to be a "guitar player" were the gear was there just to make jams and songwirting happen. But man, corona and jamming not being a thing made be a gear horder. I never bought and sold as much as last year.

I recently sold a Mexican standard tele, and an LPJ, and picked up a 50's roadworn tele. I've had the tele a couple days, and I'm so far quite happy that I did it 👍🏼 Didn't hurt that I miraculously made money on both sales, cause the used market is on FIRE right now... haha

Rhett looks so smort with glasses

When R.J. sold his pedals, "that were almost the value as new" Some people did unsub, including me. Just my 2 cents, at least discount the products or give-a-way a few.

I’d rather never buy another guitar again than to deal with Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. I absolutely hate it. Reverb or eBay I can deal with.

I call bullshit on Rhett going on Reverb once a month. He goes on every episode 🤣🤣🤣

Sign-off tag line idea: Rhett: “I’ve been Rhett” Zach: “I’ve been Zach” Both: “...and you’ve been Dipped”

9/10 - guitar ads with feet showing = stolen guitar or some sort of scam... 1/10 just nasty

I came for an intro track.... 🥲🥲

What's this "sell" thing of which you speak?

I took a picture of my amp for sale in flip flops so you can see my toes. I'll send you guys the pics if you want. Do clipping diodes clip your toenails?

so we're just going to go on and not call out Rhett for keeping with the bit of using a different mic every episode?

Have you ever sold something to pay a bill and regret it terribly? 😢

Leave all the interior decorating to Miss Tilly! 😁

Me: *sells half his gear* Dipped Crew, one week later: "Should you sell your gear?" Me: "oh no-"

I love Rhett but watching him talk and listen I would be so nervous with him, he looks so bored and uninterested listening. I could be wrong, maybe he is hyper focused and listening close. I think I would have an anxiety attack trying to talk to him lol

Never. That's when to sell. Regret every single thing I've sold (Charvel 4, two authentic Barettas, my original Peavey MX VTX that my father bought me, and a Legend (50-watt). No good can come from selling. Even the dogs can be good for one trick.

No 🦶🙏

Play Call of Duty Warzone, it is cross platform :)
