You know, I never noticed that until you pointed it out! It looks like the 12/6 is a 'CUBE', but the 15/6 is a 'TUBE'. greenboy.us from the Wayback Machine I have always assumed it was named "15/6 Tube" because the cab dimensions were better suited to big ole tube heads, but I can't remember if...

Several years ago, built a pair of tweeterless Greenboy 15/6 Tube cabinets with the Greenboy CBG crossover, but I do not recall ever seeing technical specs for the CBG crossover. Does anyone know the order (slope) and cutoff frequencies of the CBG crossover for the 15/6 Tube? Any help is...

I am attempting to install a Nordstrand Big Split 4 into a 70's Gibson Grabber. I'm a bit confused about where to land the leads from the Big Split on the existing pots. I have attached a few images of the internals of the Grabber. The Nordstrand wiring instructions are as follows: "The...

I picked up a used Trace Elliot 1518C recently. I love the sound and it is shockingly light. However, I cant't really find much info on pre-Peavey Trace gear. I'd like to track down a spec sheet and manual. I attempted to email Peavey's Trace Elliot Customer Service, but the messages are...

Nope. They were humbuckers and were unique to the [Invalid or Expired Link Removed].

I just got this update from darsombra: The live show now includes projected psychedelic visuals for added mindf*ckery!!! Sorry for resurrecting a zombie thread, just thought this might be of interest to CaptainWampum and others.

That's actually a shadow... doesn't seem to be a gap there. If the cap does begin to separate, what kind of adhesive should I use?

;) I'm gonna give the shop vac and/or hair dryer a try. Thanks for the replies.

I ended up with a dented dust cone on a 3015lf as seen in the pix below: I played through it and it sounds just fine and the cover is still firmly attached to the driver. Other than the obvious cosmetic issue, is this a potential problem? *edit* I already tried using the hose from a...

A little persuading with the vice grips and it was good to go. I didn't even need to break out the Loctite. :) So you can stop locking your doors at night... your G3 is safe... for now.

Awesome! Thanks so much. I'll try it tonight.
