    P90 problems....

    Hey gents, I have a problem that is driving me completely up the wall. I have a set of vintage p90s from guitarfetish that I'm hooking into a rondo television copy. One vol one tone, 3way switch. I bought 250k pots from guitarfetish but when I wire the sumbitches up the volume knobby only goes...

    Rub a Dub Dub

    Probably a simple question, with a simple answer, but I don't have it quite right. What's with the echo snare sound in dub raggae? It's iconic, I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. How do they get that sound? Is it an electronic trigger, or a mic with serious delay and... what else? some...

    Some Thoughts on Compression

    I've had a few things on my mind lately. I think everyone here is pretty much in agreement regarding the loudness war, and we also agree that there is way too much compression in modern rock. It doesn't need to be rehashed again. That said, I've come across a few instances where the...

    Guitar Wave Images

    Gents, I'm doing a piece of writing called "Some Thoughts on Signal Paths & the Rock and Roll Messiah," and I was hoping to compare an image of a 'natural,' un-effected guitar wave vs. a wav that is clipped to all hell. I'm searching google now but can't find an image of a natural guitar wave...

    Hosed by Repair Shop

    or at least I think I was. Here's the deal: My Hot Rod DeVille was having some kind of weird static/popping noises. I consulted the trusty Hot Rod Owner's Guide and it said this: An issue that commonly pops up in Hot Rods is the Plate Load Problem. These amps sometimes develop a loud...

    Removing a Speaker

    Korg Pitchblack Review

    Well, my Boss TU-2 finally shit the bed. Not to say that it did a bad job—I had it since I was in 11th grade... probably about eight years of constant use. In the last year, though, the gigs started getting crazy and it was getting stomped on with cowboy boots pretty often. But, by the time it...

    i electrocuted myself last night

    Hey fellas, I was over at my practice space last night, and I started hearing a lot of radio signal coming through my amplifier. I went over to inspect it and went to flip the standby switch on. When I touched it I received quite a shock—the kind that makes you shake a bit and makes your tongue...

    gig stories

    I saw an interesting thread on Talkbass called "Interesting Gig Stories" or something like that, and the results were hilarious. I thought we should start one here. I'll start it off with a secret that hasn't left my band until now: We were playing in a basement of some frathouse in Allston...

    Outfitting a Rig

    Hey guys, I've searched around the net, and I've gotten all kinds of information, none of which has really given me very good answers. This is probably kind of a big question, and the answers will vary by preference, but I thought to ask it anyway. As my pedalboard gets more complicated, I...

    Digitech Whammy Makin Me Crazy

    Hey Gents... The Digitech Whammy re-issue has a midi-in port, for use with an external midi selector. After playing about 50 shows and ALWAYS FORGETTING to change patches on the whammy before starting the song (resulting in me trying to twist the damn knob with my foot, which never works) I...

    Manager Schmanager

    Hey fellas, We played a pretty good show last night. After the show was over, while I was frantically ripping gear off the stage (I also tore open my finger during the set, and so was wiping blood all over my holiday sweater, distracted as hell), some guy came over and congratulated us. Then...
