I was pretty shocked earlier today when I saw the headline on Harmony Central that 60,000 Orange Amplifiers had been stolen from Orange headquarters in Borehamwood, England. After reading the article, I realized that thieves did not make off with 60,000 amps (which would have been quite a feat!), but rather 141 Orange Tiny Terror [...]

A Letter to Individual Category Subscribers: Sorry for the Overload!
As you can see by checking out the sidebar of this page, you have many subscription options, depending on which content you’re most interested in.

The Deal: I’m excited to welcome Woodwind and Brasswind to the GearPipe family of musical instrument retailers. I’ve featured a handful of their deals in the past, but will now be checking their website more often, bringing more of their promotions to you.

However, I am also a huge supporter of local [...]
I Met Slash! Check out this Podcast Interview with Slash of Guns N’ Roses
I spend much of my not-so-free time working for BurstMarketing, a Denver marketing agency specializing in podcast production. Earlier this month, I attended BookExpo America, the country’s largest trade-show for the publishing industry (it’s no NAMM, but pretty cool). Over the course of the weekend, we recorded about 75 interviews with authors about their new [...]

Get FREE Guitar Lessons…If You're Running For President
Typically I like to post deals that most GearPipe readers can take advantage of. This deal is specifically for three of our readers (oh yes…I’m sure all three are reading my website). If your name is Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, or John McCain, Jason over at Little Rock Jams has offered all three presidential candidates [...]
