    Recommendations for new lightweight 1x15 cab? Fender Rumble 200 just called it quits.

    I have fixed a few amps by resoldering any suspect spots. UNPLUG POWER, turn on, strum your instrument a bit, let it sit a few, then go to work. Esd safe iron, etc. and a magnifier. Jacks esp headphones resolder every pin. Check every fuse.

    Do you have fluorescent lights in the room? Try on/offing stuff like that.

    I broke a Fender neck by taking the strings off

    There are people who can break an anvil with a rubber hammer, then lose the hammer.

    My amp is driving me crazy by picking up AM Radio. Any help appreciated!

    I would solder a 22pf cap across the amps's input jack (tip, sleeve) as a first go. You could also try plugging the amp in to another power outlet, different room, different breaker.

    Why scooping the mids is BAD

    There is one temperature where the Celsius scale is equal to the Fahrenheit scale. Literally one number. And that number is ... -40. To achieve the full effect of 528, you must experience 528 light and sound at ... -40. And you literally can, in one of my empty grain bins in North Dakota...

    The world's most hated songs

    I think there are 2 categories here. First, songs that started out ok, but through tremendous overexposure folks are quite sick of, i.e. Hotel California. Second, songs that purely suck, no redeeming social value, i.e. anything with Yoko Ono.

    The world's most hated songs

    John Philip Sousa, hockey organ music, or anything they play at the circus. Barney or Raffi.

    Suspect Purchase Offer

    On Craigslist, if a buyer isn't willing to meet at the sellers (my) choice of a safe location in daylight and pay with cash, I tag it as a scam. No exceptions.

    Set list blows

    Google around with youtube for approp playlists, take notes. In high school, guys in town thought Foghat was cool. Girls from the air base laughed and cranked up KC & the Sunshine Band. Guess who got people dancing? Self isolating = bad.
