    Damn Tuners!

    So, the original tuners on my '68 Telestar are basically shot. I snagged a set of Pings from Mars, back when they were going out of business, VERY cheap- now I know why- 5 of them are for one side, one is for the other. So, I go buy another set of pings, new, from Sam Ash. but they don't...

    I Have A Predjudice Against Tube-Pre Hybrids...

    ... and am throwing this out for comment. I owned an ART Attack Module 28 (12ax7 pre, SS power amp, lots of on-board effects and light/portable fiberglass-reinforced plastic case, 2 8" speakers, combo.) I did like the amp, but when I cleaned the cheap pots, it developed a squeel that was hard...

    Fender Super Champ XD- Opinions, Please

    Auditioned a Super Champ XD briefly today. http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=2331100000 Not bad- 15 amps, two power tubes, so quiet operation (compared to the Vibro Champ, with it's single power tube, and resultant hum.) No hum from SC dimed, only a bit of hiss, which I had...

    Okay, So, Does Anybody Have ANYTHING To Say About Epiphone OBL'S?

    Maybe my other post was too restrictive. So, I'll expand. Let 'er rip!

    Fender Vibro Champ?

    I keep moving DOWN in Fender's line, to smaller and smaller amps- the progression so far has been: '77 Twin Reverb (now gone) '77 Pro Reverb '77 Deluxe Reverb (Actually, got the Deluxe before the Pro...) I find even the Deluxe has more power than I need, ever- if I need more, can mic it...

    Anybody Here Ever Play Thur Epiphone OBL's?

    I have Epiphone OBL's installed on a solid-body electric. Not gonna say any more about the guitar- I want comments on the pups, not the guitar. Sure, you might be able to mine my other post to figure that out, but please don't. They are certainly an upgrade over the pups that were there, but...

    Best Value on a 1/2-inch, 2-track Open Reel Deck?

    I have several 10"/2400 ft. reels of 1/2 inch tape. I'd like to find a good, cheap (or at least good-value) 1/2" two track machine. What do you suggest? How much should I expect to pay?

    Okay, No SS Rectifier on Deluxe- How 'Bout Pro?

    Went to my fav. shop, the rectifier tube he ordered me got sold (no biggie, took me a long time to get there, no deposit paid, he ordered me another one, etc.) I see that both the Deluxe Reverb and the Pro Reverb (both '78's) use the same rectifier tube. He sold me a SS rectifier, said if I...

    Who Has A/B'ed Westones, Westburys, and Gibson/Epiphones?

    I have, but only a bit. 10 years or so back, I happened to have bought a Westone Thunder 1A at a pawn shop, and a brand new Epiphone LesPaul Deluxe at Guitar Center. Loved the Epi's look, but at $500, I couldn't help thinking I had made an expensive impulse buy. So, I put aside a Saturday...

    Is It True? Can A ADAT Be Used As A Interface With a Digi001?

    I have heard that one can use an Alesis ADAT machine as an interface to a Digi001, thus having 16 channels to record to (assuming computer has the guts, natch.) Is this true? How difficult is it to get it to work? Also, if one has TWO Digi001's and TWO ADAT's, can they be used to record to 32...

    US-122 Worth Repair?

    I bought a US-122 several months back. paid only $15 for it, seller made no promises, so I am not upset- but it is only working on one (R) channel. No input from L channel at all, regardless of settings, input, anything. Tascam was quite helpful with support, the upshot being the unit needs...

    If 9-volt Power Was Inadverdently Run Thru Pups...

    Would it burn out the pups? Would it make a difference if the pups were active, or passive? I know, there is more to electricity than just voltage- but that is the only thing that would be constant- amerage would vary.

    Epi Les Paul Standard Upgrades- What Should I Do, Beyond New Pups?

    Okay, so I bought an Epi LP Standard. Black with ivory bindings/pickguard/etc. I am very pleased with it's looks, the action is good, even the neck shape seems to encourage me to keep my thumb where it belongs, on the back of the neck. It acutally has a decent tone, too- but I scored a pair...

    Swapping A Fender SS Amp's Pre-Amp From One Amp To Another?

    I find myself the owner of three Fender solid state amps: Bullet 150 (has DSP for effects) Bullet Reverb Deluxe 112 In case you don't know: First two are little practice amps, usually bought by Moms and Dads as the kid's first amp. 10 watts, 8" speaker. Would be disposable, but these things...

    Solid State Or Tube Rectifier? Differences?

    Got a Silverface Fender Deluxe Reverb. I broke the rectifier tube (long story) and shop I usually go to only had a solid-state replacement. Owner said if I didn't like it he would exchange it. He now has the proper tube rectifier. Don't mean to be stupid, here, but what's the tonal...
