    I've got a 2X15 cab and plan on using my old Sunn 200S 60 watt tube head. The head has a 4 and 8 ohm out. My plan is to wire em in 4 ohm but it's been a loong time since I've bought bass speakers.....I was lookin at JBL's Eminence, Pyle. Jensen etc and I'm a little out of my element. Too many...

    Extra long scale bass string...?

    Emphasis on the "extra long scale". I believe when I measured the length it was at 35 and a quarter. I'm looking for some flatwounds for my 4 string and I was wondering if you guys had a preference. The band I'm in now will be doing 90's rock...some Papa Roach, Three Doors Down etc, then some...

    A Leather guitar cover???

    Taken from the article... "Chuck Smith of Valley Center, Calif., holds a guitar with a leather cover he designed for Eric Clapton........ ." uh...:confused: Maybe I'm missing something but wouldn't wrapping your guitar in leather kind of negate the tone you'd get from the body a bit? I...

    Book shelves...?

    I've read that having a book shelf, full of different sized books is good for.... bass trapping? Diffusion? What? Cuz it makes sense for bass trapping. I've seen some of those wood block setups where they've got strategically cut lengths of 2X4's or whatever that are mounted to the framework...

    Truss rod adjustments...? maybe?

    I've got an old Ibanez that I've had for close to 15 years that needs some work. Action has gotten a LOT higher than it used to be. :confused: It used to play like buttah but over the past few months, I've noticed it's gotten higher. By quite a bit. Close to 5/8ths of an inch at the 22nd fret...

    Shure Beta 87A for female vox?

    My moms birthday is comin up and I want to get her a mic. She's more of a tenor but can sing lower. Definitely not toward the soprano end. I was lookin at the 87A and was lookin for your thoughts on this. It'll probably never get used in a studio situation. She and my bro have lined up some...

    Capacitor question...(car stereo/sub)

    My son has a 1000 watt Legacy amp and a 2X12 sub he wants to install in his car but he was told to put a capacitor inline somewhere so it didn't draw so much on the battery and overwork his alternator. Is this true? If so, what should he look for? He asked me but I don't know diddly about it...

    Epi Valve Junior tubes...

    OK...just sharing my thoughts here... So I got the head, tried it out, did the JP1 mod (which did indeed brighten up the tone) and tried out a few different pre tubes. Don't have any power tubes on hand. :( Tried a Mullard 12AT7, RCA 12AT7 blackplate, RCA 12AT7 grey, Shuguang 12AX7, Siemens...
