    Lightweight Class D Rackmount Amp recommendations!

    Hey guys! 90 seconds into my Saturday night gig, I blew up my Hartke LH-1000: doh! Thankfully I had a spare HA3500 on hand, and ran my SVT VR 8x10 cab off of it for the gig. It performed admirably! This got me thinking, though, as this is the 2nd LH-1000 that's failed on me (first one the...

    Good mods for Fender Jazz

    Check out the Babicz Full Contact Hardware bridges. I used to be a Leo Quan BadAss II guy, but I'm now fully converted to the Babicz. I even switched the BadAss II that came stock on my Geddy Lee Signature J-Bazz for a Babicz FCH. The sustain and sound transfer is amazing! Babicz Full Contact...

    Hartke replacement parts

    I sent an email to Samson technical support, so I hope to be hearing from them shortly. I didn't want to bother Larry again with another question, lol =)

    Hartke replacement parts

    Hello all, I searched the forums but could not find this info, so I thought I'd post to ask: I have 2 Hartke HA3500's that need some replacement parts (rotary pot for solid-state preamp, on/off rotary pot for compression circuit, and 6 or 7 LED eq sliders). Any ideas where I might be...

    Hartke HA3500 rackmount ears?

    Hey guys, I was wanting to know if anyone knew where to get rackmount ears for the Hartke HA3500? I checked the Samson site, but they perpetually say "Out of Stock", so I think that's a lost cause. I have two of these amps that I'd like to get ears for, if possible. Any leads would be...

    Rigs of Doom; Part 4

    Guess it's not too overkill, but here's my Jaco-approved "Rig of Doom": Link Removed Two vintage Acoustic 361's, with a 2004 Geddy Lee in front.

    The Acoustic Club

    I'm sorry to hear about the theft, but happy that you got it back. Either way, even by today's standards, $420 for a 301 cabinet is cheap! It SUCKS having to buy your own gear back, though =( I finally completed my own "big rig": 2 x Acoustic 361's (bass is a 2004 Geddy Lee Signature)- Link...

    Acoustic 360 fuzz using a 1-button 1/4" footswitch

    I'd usually agree, banikek, but my "situation" has just changed: I just made a deal for a second Acoustic 361. So now, I'll have two complete 361's, and can run the "dry and wet/dry" set-up that Jaco had. So: distortion will be a MUST! =)

    Acoustic 360 fuzz using a 1-button 1/4" footswitch

    Hey guys, Was just wondering: is it possible to wire-up an adapter that will take a 1-button footswitch that's run to a 1/4" jack to work with the 5-prong DIN-style input on the Acoustic 360 to actuate the fuzz? In looking at the schematic (Invalid Link Removed), it only looks like pin 3...

    3 questions for EVERYONE who owns a fretless.

    1) 1996 Fender MIM Jazz Fretless 2) $150 back in 2000 3) 30% Also: for strings, I've been using Rotosound RS-66's on it (without any epoxy on the fingerboard), and I haven't needed to refinish the fingerboard once. For a MIM, it's awesome!
