Fender twins, and Marshall JCMs are the only way to rock ‘n’ roll.

I have 42. You got 43?

you need an amp that goes to 11

That’s very handy Daniel. I ended up taking the path of least resistance and I found one on eBay for $75. It’s a company called Donner. It seems to be pretty good quality, aluminum frame just about the right size I need has lots of power inputs cables in Velcro and everything came with it. And a bag to carry it in.

Anybody have a great condition Boss TU-3 tuner to part with? Mine was a casualty of last years flood. It powers up but that’s it.

No!

Yes- but too large to post here!!!

yes beautiful guitars. Those cover a lot of ground. congrats!

After gigging with this amp for a while I’ll say without question that it is a wonderful amp for small to medium venues. Or bigger ones if you mic it. Since i play jazz almost exclusively - it is a great gigging option for clean tones at moderate high volume. 35lbs, so very portable. I put a Neo speaker in it to shave a couple pounds as well. Recently - our drummer is getting pretty loud and so in turn the rest of needed to crank up a bit just to hear each other and ourselves. (I mentioned it to him…he didn’t react particularly well). As a result of the increased volume i hit the headroom limit when we got a smoking groove going. So…to see if i could stay clean at that volume, i swapped the 12ax7 in v1 for a 12at7 and replaced the TAD 6L6s with Tung-Sol 7581As. Sounds glorious at living room volume. Maybe better than before, but hard to really know. Will report back after next gig as to whether i got more headroom, but with what i am hearing so far - i am optimistic.

Great, you have any pictures...?

Is mine in that list? 😜

After playing through that one, I'm tempted to replace my old TS-9 Tube Screamer. I listened to a few comparisons of the Blues Driver vs Tube Screamer, and I think the Boss is more the sound I am looking for.

. . . and so I bought one! arrived last evening . . . gonna mess with it today . . .

Your guitar is beautiful. I love the aged looking hardware!

Beautiful guitar! I too have a 2000 H150, my first Heritage and she’s definitely a keeper. Kinda wish I had ordered it in Old Style Burst, ( your colour) instead of cherry sunburst, but I still love her! Now it’s time to give her some love!

Nice snatch! I have certain Heritage’s that are earmarked to NEVER sell. Do the same!

Welcome to our community CVS! I was a drummer (still am) before getting hooked on Heritage guitars in 2000. I currently own 14 ( many have slid in and out of my hands in 25 years). You have a sweet little stable going, guaranteed it’s only going to grow larger! I see a Heritage H-150 or H-535 (perhaps both) in your future! As far as this community, we are a closely knit group that shares information and helps each other out so don’t be shy about posting anything Heritage related, or if not Heritage related, in the Family Tree. Cheers!

Your collection is a good start! Welcome!

Love the look of that new H575, the tort pickguard really stands out. Fine collection all around!

CVS, I just got my H-530, but I see no reason I can't play any of my normal music on it. Heck I've played Allman Bros on a 525 and Billy Holliday on my Millennium. CSN on an H-157 and Stray Cat Strut on a 535. I've even played Led Zeppelin on my acoustic! It's all good.

His 535 is also NOT hollow!

ha. well you can blame me if you need a scapegoat

Sure, and I'm actually thinking about getting an H157, which for all intents and purposes is Heritage's own Les Paul Custom... A Custom is actually what I've been playing the most recently, it's just the perfect guitar for a show that I've been part of for the last couple of years, but having rediscovered my H150 and only yesterday jamming with a friend who has an H157 made me think. This guy bought it inspired by my own Heritage so in a weird way seems like the whole thing is going full circle!!!!

An update.... after letting things settle down, I've done a bit of setup work. A 1/4 turn tighter on the truss rod, and some adjusting on the bridge and it's playing nicely. 5/64 for the low E string, about a business card worth of relief around the 8th fret. It's much closer to my 535 now in feel. RE: the sound. I'm actually surprised it's darker/deeper sounding that the 525, even though they both are maple and have Lollar P90s. I brought the poles up on the G B and E of the neck pickup and took the low E down a bit. Sound is more balanced between strings now. It rings very well. And just like the 525, if you have the amp up a bit, you can get it to howl on a nice A or D string! Eternal sustain!
