You could also get some Zoom unit with a bunch of effects and looper and drum rhythms.

Although I'm guessing the ones Doog is suggesting are cheaper, maybe not by a lot.

I'm not crazy about the stang tailpiece. It goes out of tune with serious reverb handling, and I spent lots of time trying to set it up and trying everything. Which isn't the case with a Bigsby without a tension bar. O.k., that does take time finding a bridge which will work well and we're talking ...

Yesterday I did some surgery and moved the Boost channel volume control to be in front of the last preamp ECC83 V103 as per the final JTM60 schematic, swapped the input jacks for Neutriks and put it back together. 160V on the treble pot tells me that I have a leaky tone/DC blocking cap which explai...

Check the resistors in the power circuit. Do you mean PSU or output stage? PSU. I've had them go bad. Check them all up to the plates. The ones I've had trouble with are the voltage dropping ones between the electrolytic caps, but it probably wouldn't hurt to check the plate resistors as well. Remo...

I was just messing with you, not totally serious about you selling out.

Can you post the demos? It asks me to log in to see them. Also found another Rob Roe on there, it wasn't hard to find the real account though.

So they sent the wrong model? That's pretty funny, I haven't heard of that happening often lately, not even on forums.

Why hurry though? Have fun playing the guitar you're going to swap.

You should make that into a banner, but add more like Mustang and Bronco on different bodies.

How about an Adam Black Libra? They are the cheapest relatively recent UK guitars. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v118/turquoisemoleeater/guitars/adamblacklibrauk.jpg They remind me of the original Shergold Masquerader, but the reissues of that are not made in the UK and have details that make th...

No good new guitars this year so I can focus on getting more 2020 teles.
What happened with that borked Tele Deluxe?
I sent it back to Bezos and bought 3 different teles since then.
Are they all black?

You can get a Marshall comparable to that Vibro Champ Reverb, for less than half the price. With the reverb, but without the tremolo. Instead with a Marshall high gain preamp. Seems like a much better deal. Also looks like a classic Marshall and they're not charging for the look.

I have experimented quite a bit with different tone caps, although without a pot. 100 nF will give a very dark tone like a bass guitar, only useful if you want to use some very heavy fuzz or distortion. 47 nF is more common for guitars on the dark side. 22 nF is the most common for tone pots, althou...

Yup.

By the way, if you have Soviet caps, they use MK�¤ to mean micro Farads.
