i have a fender hot rod deluxe 112. after a trip in a uhaul trailer, my reverb disappeared. everything else works fine, but my reverb does not work. tomorrow i'm going to sit down and take a look at it, and i was just looking for some advice on what to check from someone who knows more about...

i turned it a few more times clockwise, and eventually felt resistance and the neck straightened out nicely. it was just very loose, and i think i may have been hitting silicon or something by going counterclockwise...which gave the impression of tightening. problem solved. thanks.

now that i know it's not reverse threaded (most likely), i think i'll try a few small turns clockwise to see if i run into some resistance. i'll post what happens.

Milnoque, it's an allen wrench so the threads are not visable. but good thought.

a friend told me this theory: it was very loose, and turning clockwise didn't find any resistance because it was so loose...and i was feeling resistance counterclockwise because of the silicon on the nut. so it was silicon resistance that made me think it was tightening. i thought that was a...

so i should ignore the resistance and turn clockwise to straighten the neck...is there any chance it could be reverse threaded or something? because not only did i feel resistance when i went counter-clockwise (which could be damaged threads, you're right) but it definitely felt like it was...

i have an epiphone sg doubleneck. the 6 string side was set up nicely for 10s, but i play 11s...so i put on 11s, and the neck bowed slightly forward because of the higher string tension. i've performed truss rod adjustments before on my les paul, epiphone dot, and strat, so i figured it wouldn't...

roller nut, very cool. thanks for the suggestions, i really appreciate it.

thanks for the feedback. perhaps the slip-stone or graph-tech would be better. the one i broke on the strat was bone, i believe. and i onced broke a plastic one on a les paul. i'm not overly concerned with the sound properties, i'm just concerned about the serrated-knife-action of a low E or A...

hello, right now i'm using three guitars live, and i'm trying to scale it down to one. it will be an epiphone G-1275. on the six string side, i'm going to be using a couple different tunings, and i'm afraid of breaking the nut from quickly tuning the lower strings all the time. i once broke a...

yeah, i've used a beta52 on a bass amp, and didn't like the results. those mics (beta52, d112, etc) seem very tailored to a bass drum by having a bunch of strange peaks and valleys in it's frequency response. i found the result to be crummy on a bass guitar.

yeah, i haven't heard much about SDC on bass cabs either. but my other mics don't seem be appropriate beacuse they slop off on the low end (sm57, ev 635a, senn e906).

recording some bass next weekend... i'm planning on recording a direct signal, and a micing the cab. i'm thinking my sm81 would be a good choice for the mic because it's got a pretty flat low end response (without the low cut). i'm just wondering if anyone has had luck with the sm81 on a bass...

if anyone has ever wondered about the differences between a shure sm81 and an audio technica 4047, check out these links below. i'm always looking for online audio tests of mics and pres and what-not, and i performed this little test the other day when i got my first sm81...so i decided to post...

i ran some tests against the 4047, and the sm81 without the pad is still a little quieter than the 4047 with the pad...but i guess it's no big deal. if something was wrong, it would be probably be a lot quieter...and it was just a little quieter (the difference of "6" and "8" on my VMP2). it did...

great idea, mshilarious. i'll perform that test. thanks!

yeah, the pad is off. thanks mshilarious. i guess it's just a less sensitive microphone. i was just a bit suprised because other SDC mics i've used seemed very sensitive. i did check out the specs, but i really don't know how to read a lot of that stuff...guess i should learn, eh? thanks!

hello. i just received a second hand sm81 in the mail. it seems to work fine, but i'm surprised how low the output is compared to some of my other condenser mics. my at4047 is nice and loud (run my VMP2 around "3"), but with my new (used) sm81, i have to turn the peavey up much higher. is that...

just got some interesting replies over on gougle groups about this: "Fast gain change causes distortion, one of the characteristics of them - from he ir spec sheet - is that they can be set to really short release times and it is mentioned that doing so will cause bass distortion, something...

i was trying out a new mic, and noticed a strange "chirp" sound. eventually, i discovered it was my FMR RNC. i have two RNCs, and they both make the same sound (and with every mic and every preamp i tried). the sound occurs when the compressor is "tripped" and the gain reduction meter moves. it...
