Maybe it's just a semantic point, but you do know that (for example) as long as the bridge remains floating, tightening or loosening the claw screws on a Strat bridge assembly doesn't change the tension in the springs except for temporarily (until you tune the guitar), right? The reason I...

It's not the springs. Setting the spring rest position so the the bridge is flat is a good idea (you'll need to check your intonation after you change that), but it won't affect whether the guitar stays in tune or not. Going to heavier gauge strings might help.

Pardon the nitpick, but if the bridge is floating, the tension is what it is for a particular gauge set of strings. You can adjust the spring rest position, but but not the tension.

That might help, but what you really need is for the slots in the nut to be the right width for the gauge strings you are using. You probably don't have the precision files it takes to fix this; I'd take it to a tech and have it done. While you're at it you might as well replace the plastic nut...

Recount! I demand a recount!

Kansas....

No, but feeding oranges to a dog will make him fart in Eb.

Whatever blows (or doesn't blow) your skirt up. Chocolate is very bad for dogs, BTW, however much they like it. :D

That's your opinion, I guess, but Orange sells lots of amps and their customers cannot all be braindead. Like I said, let the market decide. I don't own any Orange equipment (though I may buy one of their small bass amps), so I don't have a dog in this hunt. I have a couple of friends who have...

I have never had a guitar with a P90, but I thought P90's were brighter sounding than 'buckers. Not so? Spot on about the neck position.

It's like anything else; they put it out there and let the market decide. If it sells, it was the right offering. One amp I have has one control - a combination on-off switch and volume pot. It sounds great.

They didn't ask me, but I think they should consider changing the way bidding happens on eBay to be more like a live auction. In a live auction, each new high bid extends the time the auction goes on; if on eBay they extended the cutoff time by 5 minutes every time a new high bid came in and...

And even then it's just a technical comparison. You'll need to spend time playing each amp to its strengths and decide which one you like the least. Or you could just keep them all, which is what I'd do. I'm still kicking myself for selling that '62 Fender Showman back in the late 70's.

My boxer Zeke (RIP) would whine and cry at the studio door when we were rehearsing until someone would let him in. He would lie down between the bass and drums and stay there until we shut the amps down. I really miss him.

That's OK. Anyone else? If this is real, it can be explained.

No, I know how potentiometers work. What I am asking is how the resistance to ground through the tone and volume pots affect the high frequency content of the signal when the pots are turned up all the way. I'm not asking if it does or not, I am asking how the circuit works.

I got that, but can you explain why that is?

Can you explain why that is?

Interesting. How do they do that? Dual wipers? And does the amount of resistance to ground through the pot really make that much difference when the pot is all the way up?

That was my point. It cannot add more treble; you can't have boost without active circuitry and a power source.
