    Let me send a check for $275.00 RIGHT AWAY!

    Yeah, and judging by the way the guy spells, I think maybe he meant $2,500.00 dollars:D :D :D :D I've never seen Carlos play an Alembic either. Maybe an L6S or a Yamaha, but never an Alembic...

    flying with guitar!!!

    Done this many times. As long as you have a great case you're all right. I always loosen strings, even in the cabin. Case humidifier is not a bad idea, either. Excess space in the case with hand towels or newspaper. One big thing, tape your closures with duct tape or book binding tape. They can...

    cable question

    If they're solid, and you get no crackles when the cable is flexed, I'd say you've done all right ! No worries regarding signal loss. mike

    Help: a Song from my youth

    Phantom Fried My D.I.!!!!(I Think!)

    If you can post a pic - I may be able to tell you what you're looking at, and if you have a meter, what to measure. Most DI's have protection, but as you say, if these are from the 70's they may not. Too bad, but hopefully they can be repaired. Cheers, Mike

    cable question

    You really don't want a "mound" of solder - you're looking for a very thin coating. Use roman's suggestions, but ensure the surfaces are clean before you start by using isopropyl alcohol to clean them. A toothbrush works well. For those new to soldering - flux works well, but when the joints are...

    Who made you want to play??

    Re: Eric Clapton Yep, for me it was the Beatles - and specifically George Harrison. When I saw him in Hard Days Night with that big ass Gretsch Country Gentleman, I knew that's what I wanted to play. Still haven't got one yet, though...:( Then on to Clapton, Steve Howe, Brownie McGhee...

    Tips for the Novice Solderer

    Yeah, flux really helps flow - don't forget to use isopropyl alcohol to get rid of the flux residue when the joint cools. A toothbrush works really well. The residue causes dust to stick, which may cause overheating (more on circuit cards, but stiill good practice to remove it). If you are...

    Tips for the Novice Solderer

    Hey HangDawg, Was it PACE equipment you were using/trained on ? Just curious, as I had high reliability soldering training with them when I worked for Transport Canada. All the way up to multi level boards, surface mount and gold plating contacts. I gold plated my guitar shaped roach clip at...

    C'mon man, lighten up ! I just assumed you had forgotten about your previous post. Didja not see the BIG smileys ??? It's hard to joke when all you've got are letters on a screen - there's no vocal inflection. Seriously, Everybody who replied to your other thread thinks the Sony's are great...
