Eko Guitars N(e)XT series Electro-acoustic steel strings

My another gears update is an electro-acoustic guitar. I found it on local shop, while i was surprised about how this Italian chitarra brand appeared here in my city. Surely i gave it a try and i found myself like it. the sound quality and the price are somehow equal (plus few advantages) to my ears, so when it comes to comparison with other guitars in its price range.

this is what i got, the factory default:

actually I am impressed by things eko guitars has by factory default. The acoustic steel strings are great! feels like newly installed and vibrate the tones equally (though i can’t get used to it anyway, gotta change them with electric guitar strings). i got mono-jack cable and one Allen wrench for adjusting the truss rod. pretty neat for made in P.R.C guitars, and i guess that’s why Eko guitars, an italian guitar brand could came to my house.

when it comes to comparison, i picked yamaha apx500ii as its rival, and this Eko N(e)XT guitar won… it has more serious saddle bridge than apx and the eko guitars preamp delivers equal tones, (my apx500ii doesn’t have middle tone, which i need them most for my solo playing)

my first tryout on stage were my last night gig. i was fully satisfied, and i can see this guitar could do few more things after i set something up for this. you can check eko guitars at www.ekoguitars.it and i’m sure you will get more details, meanwhile i will set up things for the vlog. see yaEKO guitars NXT series electro-acoustic steel-strings (10)

Line 6 Spider IV 15 Watt Amp, yes, it’s LOUD!

Lately 15 watt amps become so popular and I guess I know why. These days PA and miking systems are in their great performances so it’s an easy way to get low volume sound sources louder with precise details. At this time we can get our 15 watt amp inside our room on big stages and with today’s technology, we can make the best of it. Own the 15 watt Amp is wise choice.

 

What I have for this post is Line 6 Spider IV 15 Watt Amp and I’m pretty sure this amp is a bit famous. It says “Line 6 Spider IV 15 Watt Amp 15 is the #1-selling amp in the USA…” – Line6.com. Well, not that fast actually,but indeed this stuff has some value. It is solid-state amp and it covers lots of famous amps such as ’65 Marshall® JTM-45, a ’58 Fender® Bassman®, a ’63 Fender® Vibroverb and a Supro® to stuff like Mesa/Boogie® Dual Rectifier® tones. This amp is competitive one on its class.Line6 Spider IV 15 watt amp (4)

there’s nothing much at the rear panel except power plug, Line6 moved them to front as you can see on pic, to make things easier to operate.

It’s half open back so i took a pic of the speaker. It’s Line6 custom built speaker for this amp. It sounds good for me.

Surely I made the shootout video and i will put it right away after my preparation, but, overall Line 6 Spider IV 15 Watt Amp is affordable and it sounds good, too. It has more options for my sound choices as a solid state combo amp should do and it’s loud enough for my room. never crank the volume knob all the way up though… volume at 9 o’clock would be enough for practicing and jamming along your favorite songs put in via CD/MP3 jack hole.

yes. it is loud enough
