    Using and attenuator with Yellowjackets.

    How much does an attenuator lessen the life of tubes on a 100 watt amp? EL34's are kind of pricey and I'm using 4 at a time, I was thinking of getting some Yellowjackets to convert the EL34's to EL84's. Now 4 Yellowjackets would be over $100 bucks. Would it be worth the investment, or...

    Who knows Speakers! YaY!

    If you have a tube amp that is 100 watts, what kind of speakers do you need for a 412 cab? I see people using vintage 30's but they are only 60 watts. A few questions. 1. What is RMS/Peak? 2. What is Response? an example is 80-5k. 3. How big a part of the sound is coil diameter? Why? 4...

    Posting guitar samples.

    I recorded them on my computer (which is not on the internet) and put them on c.d. Then I put the c.d. in the laptop (which is on the internet) and real player, and window's media player say they can't play them. What can I do? I suck with computer stuff by the way.

    C-Neck vs. a U-Neck.

    I have small hands compared to most, and I hate flat radiused necks with wide nuts. I am thinking of getting a nice birdseye maple strat neck done with a small nut width, but with a U profile. anyone have anything like this?

    240 or 120 volts?

    The amp I just bought has a switch on the back for 240 or 120 volts, which one should it be set on? I live in the U.S. Also there is a switch for 25%. 50%, or 100%, and there is also a decible switch with 3 positions. Do these have to be in unisen some how?

    I just bought this used carvin amp.

    I thought it was an o.k. deal for a tube amp. It has 4 el34's, and 3 12ax7's. It can operate at 25,50, or 100 watts. It has reverb, effects loop, line out and ohmage switch. http://www.musicgoround.com/gear/inventorydetails.asp?id=509774

    What uses more electricity, Solid State, or Tube amp?

    I'm thinking of going solid state if it used considerably less electricity. Add a power brake to the tube amp and I bet it's like using an electric heater. Anyone know?

    Feedback on a V-amp.

    I have a v-amp thing and a solid state amp, I made a little cabinet and housed them both together. I can't stop this thing from feeding back, what could it be?

    Swappable pickups?

    They make car radios you can pull out and take with you. Why hasn't someone made a line of pickups you could swap in and out? Have it to where you just loosen the 3 high strings and snap it into place or something. One slot for single coils, one for humbuckers.

    Does anyone have that epi 5 watt Jr. head?

    I was thinking of getting one of these after I sell my 18 watter. Why don't they sell a cab to go with it? Would a 12" greenback be to much for it if I built a cab for it?
