Welcome to Gear Reviews! This is the place where you can submit reviews of various gutiars, basses, amps, effects, and equipment you've used and browse submissions available.


Here's how to submit:

Send a PM to capo2nd with the make and model of the item you would like to review.

He will then send you a PM containing a template and a link to your review thread. Use the template to fill in the appropriate information, click "reply" in your thread, then copy and paste your review!

Feel free to add pics to your review. Please, only post pics that are hosted at a pic hosting site. DO NOT LINK DIRECTLY TO A PIC ON ANOTHER WEBSITE. This is not fair on the owner of the other website as it hogs their bandwidth.

If your item is already listed you can still post a review! Just use the template in the thread and click reply. The more reviews the better!

These reviews are meant to be personal testimonials. Please only submit reviews of gear that you have actually used.


Quick Rules:

No idle chat
Please only post reviews
Please follow the template


Thanks!

Tips

How much did you purchase this item for? Please state the currency. If showing dollars please indicate US, CAN, AU etc. If you recieved the gear as a present or can't remember the price, try doing a Google search for the current going rate.

Where did you purchase this item?
You can add the location of the store here as well.

Is this item new or used? Pretty self explanitory.

Features: This is where you explain any specifics about the product like number of frets, pickups, controls, gold hardware, playback modes etc.

Construction: This is where you explain how well-built the product is. Is it shoddy? Is it built to last? What materials have been used? Etc.

Sound: This is where you describe how the product sounds. Please tell us any specifics about your setup like the amp you use, effects you use, where you've played it, etc. Be as detailed as possible. Don't jusy say "It sounds great" - give a desciption of the tone.

Ease of Use:This is where you explain how complicated the product is the use. Is it hard to control? Could a monkey do it? Does it sit comfortably on your shoulder? Etc.

Reliability: This is where you tell us how reliable the product is. Would it serve you well in a jam? Do you trust it? Has it failed at a gig? Etc.

Overall: This is where you give your overall opinion about the product you're reviewing. Consider things such as if you would buy this product again if it was stolen, if you would recommend the product, what turned you on to the product in the first place, etc.

Experience Level Measured in years, this will add a credibility score to your opinions.

Edit: Just edited your post Improv so that people will start sending me their requests instead of sending them to Pauliejay.
