like having an elderly woman in your life...depends. i've built most of my patch cables from saxton or belden RG-58 comm cable , with a stranded 18gauge center conductor . maybe a bit noisy for some hifi apps, but 18 ga is plenty stout for speakers under 100w . a POS R et ar d Center guitar...

sure, G.C. sells mustangs and ibanez and gretsch short scale bass guitars . never...EVER seen one carry a set on the pegboard with the long scale stuff . "we're ordering them" ********. there's never a vacant spot for these "mysterious' strings. i've checked at 4 stores and always the same...

duncan hotrails ! the $30 (used price ) tele neck pickup version i put in mine sounds huge , esp. compared to the stock, thin-sounding 6-pole guitar pickup . why they sell this bass with a nasty 6-string guitar pickup , and not a 4 pole bass pickup is beyond belief . it really is a cool...

you might try Jatoba for the neck . very stiff and has the exotic appeal you're after , but inexpensive compared to the likes of bubinga and padauk .

if it's a rinkydink bench saw with a brushed motor, yes -you can get a router speed control for ac or dc : [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] it won't work with an ac induction motors - you'll need one of these ...

i have a 1947 DoAll with a 2 speed gearbox .a really solid saw- and doall still carries parts . it can take up to a 1" band , but i typically run 3/4" -10 , for gp sawing , 3/4"-6 for thick wood, and 1/4"- 10 for contour cuts . for my purposes, bi-metal bands are a waste of money -...

ok , it's not a bass (1930's Martin -A flatback mandolin) , but it has a 3" hairline crack in the lower -mid left of the rosewood back . i don't want it to spread and become a split . it is a roundhole instrument , so i could possibly glue in a patch from the rear if i had to access it...

i like the schaller straplocks best . very positive design , won't release accidentally , no ball bearings and tiny parts to crap out and jam up . you can use a conventional strap on the buttons too . you'll have to fill the holes , but imho that's much better than dropping your bass , or...

used german warwick corvette fls can be had for $500-700 . the thumb fl is availabe used for $800-$1200. mm stingray fls are great, i wish they had an ebony board , at least i've never seen one .

i never liked bose stuff . i consider them more a marketing strategy over anything else . their infomercials and high profile ad campaigns don't make for good sound or quality . the old joke among hi-fi enthusiasts was - "no highs, no lows.....must be bose" in response to the gimmicky...

why not reconnect the wire leading from the battery compartment to the pre-amp ? ***? that's likely a good bass . a decent instrument in its own right . any competent guitar shop could fix it in five minutes for the cost of a six-pack .

the ultimate growl tone . i believe Wetton's playing a Precision here w/ an overdriven HiWatt .

my 2004 corvette std is only marked-made in germany- on the control cavity cover . i believe the new korean models have -made in korea - on the back of the peghead. the rockbasses , afaik , are chinese ,and have -rockbass- on the peghead. i've played the korean bubinga model, and can...

i couldn't sift thru every post , but do you remember Stanley in the 70's/198S with his Bose-lookin' 30 or so 4" speakers -dome thingy he played that awesome piccolo. school days live shows . i think it may have had an cerwin-vega/gauss or acoustic folded 18 horn too, but i remember the...

have you removed it from the circuit yet ? you won't get a good reading unless you at least remove the outer connections , then measure resistance of the outer two contacts - that should give the value of the pot. it won't tell you if it's a linear taper or an audio(logarithmic) taper...

he may be correct. aside from a couple rattly screws, the bent steel bridge is likely the better option than the "badass" pot-metal replacement . i'd seriously try to fix the fender bridge first..., if you can get some SHSS (SOCKET HEAD SET SCREWS) to replace the allen-type hardware...

i agree, new pickups can change a sow's turd to a pig's ear(?) anyway..... a dimarzio or duncan or whatever .. will only cost about 2X the price of a good set of strings , and won't hurt anything in the process . 15 minutes to install and that's about it. my squier bronco went...

lots of good ideas , keep 'em rolling please :) i suggest a home-made piezo pickup .... it will cost nothing to try , and will give you acoustic tones from wherever you put it. the piezo element(s) should be free / can be salvaged from old FAXs/ phone / etc , or can be bought at...

whether or not the graphite concoction works , the cost of the materials involved would likely be prohibitive (to those who didn't already have the stuff ) imho , copper tape just costs too much . it's a specialty item and has limited availability - so the seller can charge whatever...

i use an alesis 3630 or a digitech bass squeeze , depending on the instrument , and what other devices are in the signal chain . BBE sonic maximizers that i've used were ok for getting 'big" tubby sounds out of a practice amp(peavey minx,etc) but on a powerful amp( QSC,Crown,etc)...

while a replacement 12ax7 may or not sound much different, a 12au7 probably will . it 'should' reduce the gain 30-40 % of whatever stage it's amplifying ... and in some cases ,clean-up the sound , which might make it -punchier- , but in a spongey comp unit...who knows ...might make it...

i have some more. p.m. me for details.

here [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] $400 sounds a bit steep , but that's what it is.

what's the definition of heavy? sabbath's - Into the void is very - heavy in a dark way . metallica's- Frayed ends of sanity - is equally heavy , but for different reasons .

i've had good luck replacing the stock chinese tubes in my ART and Alesis preamps with N.O.S. GE and Sylvania 12ax7a's and 12au7a's . ($8 - $10 on ebay) they sound less metallic and a bit warmer/fatter to my ears . the 12au7 has a bit less gain than the 12ax7 , and thus cleaned-up...

looks sorta' guild-ovation-electra-westone- ish... ..but not really...

we mostly see advertised expensive FL basses. depending on your style- jaco or claypool or palladino or fernando saunders or percy jones.... listen to their tone and start from there . see what they're playing , but be advised that fender ,ibanez and stingray and g+l F.L basses sound and...

it could work ok if crossed over . i occasionally use a Marshall 4x12 guitar cab crossed over @ 140hz , driven by a 50w HiWatt head . it makes lots of grindy tone to complement a x-d over 15" cab driven by a big SS power amp. does your GK have a built in crossover?

i think there's a discrepancy between "uncolored" and "clear" tone . for MI and sound reinforcement purposes , speakers are more often intentionally colored, to create a clear sound that is articulate and has projection and definition for the instrument. a sound that's too flat...

i love 'em ( QSC 1700 , crown DC300A) there's just no substitute for a few dozen TO-3 outputs ! it's fun to have an amp that weighs as much as a 4x10 cabinet (when you're not lugging it around,that is :D )

i suppose if you just want to "push air", a 15"subwoofer with an x-max of +/- 30mm can push lots of air . loaded into a Jensen Imperial horn , driven by a big Crown or QSC , you'd be creating a mini-gale indeed . i doubt it would sound good for Bass guitar purposes... (unless it were...

if it's just more power you need, and like your current tone- watts are cheap . a crown,qsc,peavey,etc poweramp .... can be had for $300-$400 , and will produce 400-500wpc/bridge@1000watts+. if you have pre-outs ,you're good to go. they're superlight too, with modern power supplies...

] I don't like plastic very much as a building material[QUOTE i suppose the Glock pistol is out then! i've tried many airsofts , and my favorite is the $15 Umarex Walther p99. it hasn't failed me yet in 2 years. i keep it wet with vaseline and clean it once a month . i had four...

not trying to start a capacitor-conundrum here..... but please explain why , in a circuit that tops out @ 5-6khz a premium 60mfd polypropylene cap will outperform a practical electrolytic of similar value. e-lytes might have a shorter predicted lifespan and larger tolerance, but have...

yes. it's a hi-pass filter . personally, i'd go with a less expensive $1.50 electrolytic cap... [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] those poly caps are wonderful for hifi tweeters and such, in my HIFI speakers.... Snell , Mission , Paradigm, JBL L112, Mirage ... for low/ midbass -almost...

tube amps don't respond the same way to load mismatch as SS amps. the output transformer is wired for a specific impedance , and if you have to - you can get away with lower impedance---- too high an impedance load can damage the amp. (the opposite of SS,which can be easily run at...

lots of good advice here. length is an important factor . while 16ga is ok for 250w @8 ohms, 6-12 feet , 16 ga might be a bit light for 25-30 foot runs , etc. i avoid putting amp gear atop speaker cabs. @ high power, i want the pre/amp to be safe from the vibration of the...

Warwick bubinga anything. especially a german Corvette or Thumb bolt on model . sounds really tough thru tube amps or preamps. like svt ,hiwatt etc. and 10" speakers. mine does a close John Wetton tone , like from Asbury Park ( a very edgy bassline if there ever was one to...

it shouldn't matter - as long as you're not overpowering the speakers with too much amp -or overloading the amp with too low speaker impedance. the owners manuals should have the info.

applying epoxy resin to wood - i'd want the wood to be as dry as possible . oil would likely keep the finish from bonding to the wood . in order to remove any human oils and sweat crud from the pores . i would go so far as to clean the board with MEK or Naptha before applying the epoxy ...
