    Phantom battery drain - diagnosis tips?

    Am i the only person who hates that type of activation of the circuit. I would much rather have a small switch of some sort to activate the battery. I can't even hazard a guess as to how many times, I've forgotten to remove the jack and killed a battery.

    Roughly what would a 500 watt tube head weigh?

    Similar to a lexicon 284. 3 tube preamp into a stereo poweramp section with a single el84 for each channel, class a mode. There are direct outs for recording and line outs to drive a stereo power amp. No need to connect a speaker load to the lexicon 284. Primarily designed as a guitar amp...

    Got a truck… Gear transport questions

    I don't own one, but I remember hearing that Honda Ridgelines don't have a locking tailgate. If that is true, [can someone please confirm], it would also be an additional security concern.

    PJ bass is too “nasally” sounding. Please help!

    I have an area j on my Robin PJ bass. 3 way switch, no blend. I was about to toss it for being too weak and nasally sounding, when on someone's advice, I raised it to almost touch the strings. Night and day difference. Worth a try.

    Mick Abrahams

    One of the most underrated guitar players of all time. I first heard him with Blodwyn Pig and then got turned on to Jethro Tull by tracing his work backwards. He might not have been as famous {or commercial] as many of his peers, but I have continually returned to listen to his work over the years.

    GenzBenz Uber 410T blown speaker

    I don't know if they are compatible, but I have 2 Faital Pro GNX-10300-16 speakers, that I bought quite some time ago for a project. They are new, never used and were originally intended for Genz Benz cabinets. $200.00 + shipping for the pair in original boxes. If you can't use them maybe...

    Your opinion on this relic job

    Put some screws in the neck mount holes , tie a rope to it , and drag it around the yard or gravel driveway until you get the amount of aging you like.

    Favourite under the radar bassist

    I haven't seen Felis Pappalardi mentioned yet, which qualifies as under the radar.

    Jesse Colin Young, RIP

    The news of his passing is sad. It is also sad that it has taken this news for me to reconnect with some of this truly excellent music. I never hear any of this played on the radio anymore. I hope some younger listeners give it a try.

    The hum stops when I touch the strings

    I see a couple of rotary selectors but no volume pot. I guess it only plays at 11.
