    How do I remove my middle and neck strat pickups from the circuit so only the bridge pickup works?

    Your Bridge Humbucker should not be affected by your Middle/Neck pickups if the selector switch is positioned in the bridge position, and the switch is functioning correctly. Yes, you can just remove (un-solder) the Neck/Middle pickup wires from the 5-way switch..., making it a Bridge Humbucker...

    Tascam 424 Mk1 problem

    Howdy everyone. I dusted off my old Tascam 424 Mark 1 and was planning on "Digitally Remastering" some of my old stuff recorded on this 424. Then Maybe I'll do some new recording on it.. (I just wish it had XLR inputs) The plan was to input 1 track at a time in Adobe Audition and then remix...

    Tube amps >$350

    Peavey Classic 30 will get you in the classic rock tone range in your price range. I have had one for several years, still play it, but if you are looking for a high-gain application, look else where. You might find a used Marshall in that price range as well. That is why I started building my...

    Where to buy cable for DIY cables?

    if you can find some Shielded Twisted pair, that is what you need. If you are around DC, look for some Electronics surplus shops. I run Beldon shielded twisted pair (20 AWG) on my audio rack that I also use for my Amatuer Radio station (I do broadcast style audio on the HAM Radio Bands... in...

    Tascam 424 Mk1

    I have a Tascam 424 Mk1 thay I have had since the early 90's... I was thinking about pulling it out and using it again, but I was wondering how you guys are using them ? Are you recording to tape, then mastering to digital? I should probably pull it out, dust it off, and fire it up, see if it...

    Modding a Nady RSM-4 Ribbon Mic

    I haven't noticed much of a buzz on mine, before or after... However, I wouldn't be surprised if yours has a flakey solder joint, the factory solder on mine looked like it was done with a hot rock and a bar of lead...

    Modding a Nady RSM-4 Ribbon Mic

    The Wire Insulation is teflon. You can strip it with normal strippers, it is the same type of wire/insulation we use in out aerospace applications.. it is great because teh insulation doesn't melt when you solder.....
