They're both beam tetrodes. You can see on that GE data sheet that there's no suppressor grid and pin 8 is connected to the cathode and beam plates. Edit: Just noticed you took that part out of your post WretchedExcess. I was trying to quote you for clarity and suddenly what I was trying to...

I usually play it like so (every note is played on the E string except the Ds): E G E G A E A B E B D B D Then after the last D you're on the first E of the main riff. A lot of the time I'l go from that E (7th fret A string) to some kind of lick an octave up that works its way back down...

Ha, there was a time when I could only enjoy Jerry's '60s tone, Les Pauls or SGs into Fender combos, seriously monster huge tone. Edwin, I like the sound of that re: Pyramid flats. I'll have to grab a set. I've been finding the TIs a bit too floppy when playing with a pick lately. I gather...

It could have a stereo jack. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] mentions a stereo Guild Starfire that used one stereo jack to output in stereo. There's also a brief mention of the JS-2, which is what the Jet Star was called in the '70s, but not specifically about the jack. If you can open it up...

Hey Edwin, how do you like Pyramid flats on your Starfire for Phil tone? I think I read a thread on the Alembic forums where you gave your initial impression of them but I couldn't find anything where you reviewed them after they'd broken in some. I'm thinking about swapping from TIs to Pyramids...

Cool, I knew he used tube McIntosh amps for a bit but didn't know specific shows. And, yeah, fantastic show. I just love the Playing, the Bird Song, and the Dark Star is amazing. The way it transitions into El Paso makes me imagine some epic journey through space ending with a crash landing on...

Was the whole Dark Star caught on film? I could have sworn the version I saw had some hilarious stop-motion animation with a koala bear or something like that for a good chunk of the Dark Star.

Sounds like you've got some awesome equipment to work with. I'd love to try a Showman. I've recently grabbed an old Sunn Sorado off a fellow TB'er (essentially a 200s) and I love the thickness of the tube tone but I do miss the Fender passive tone stack on the Hartke. I know exactly where to...

Augh, no! Why can't you be closer to Toronto?:crying::bawl::atoz: Good luck with the sale!

I'll try to get a recording up playing with a pick. I've never played through a Showman or an F2-B/F1-X so I have no grounds for comparison but for the price I'd say it's a decent step in the direction of Phil's late '60s, early '70s tone. Now if only I had some old JBL 15s...

I play a Dearmond Starfire with Dark Star pickups through a Hartke LH1000 into an old Traynor 2x15 loaded with Eminence Legend CB15s and to my ears it definitely does a fairly Leshy tone. Here's a video of my current band doing Truckin': Neon and the Meate Dreams - Truckin' It was recorded on...

Could just be a bad tube in the pre-amp. A new 12ax7 is only $10-$15. That's a cheap place to start.

What are the dimensions and how much does it weigh unloaded?

I don't really now anything specifically about the 410HE but if the speakers in it are 8 or 2 ohm speakers you could rewire it to 2 ohms. How easy is it to pop a 410HE open?

I can't recommend The Zoobombs highly enough. They're from Japan and they're easily one of my favourite live bands. Tons of energy and the bassist and drummer rock some really sweet grooves.

I had a scratchy pot on a MIA jazz bass and I just used generic contact cleaner from The Source and it's been perfect since. I think the brand is nexxtek or something like that. I'm in Canada too, it should be easy enough to find a Source store nearby. I can't remember what it cost but it was...

That's interesting. I do seem to remember coming across someone selling a K-140 that they said had been reconed with a 22xx kit, but I can't remember exactly which one. Since my hunt will continue, and I'm sure others could benefit from the knowledge, are there specific things someone should...

Thanks for all the help, everyone. I think I'm gonna pass on these. It sounds like I'd have to get them reconed to sound the way they should.

Alright, he said the one with K 5 written on it, the cleaner looking one, has 52552254 stamped on it. He said he couldn't get a clean number off the other one.

Yeah, having original cones isn't too important to me. I've just read that if they aren't reconed with the right kit (factory kit? OEM kit? still new to this so the terms haven't stuck yet) they won't perform as a K-140 should. I'd just like to avoid dropping the money on these and end up having...

Yeah, I did notice that they looked different, with the one looking especially off. Thanks for your input. I got a reply from johnk_10 and he seemed to think neither was a factory cone. I'm thinking its not worth taking a chance on these without a chance to hear them. It's not like I need them...

Thanks for the tip!

Hi all, I'm talking to someone about buying a pair of JBL K-140s online, but this is my first experience with vintage drivers so I don't know everything I should look for to determine if they are what I want. Obviously the original cone in good, working condition is ideal, but I've read that...

Thanks! PM sent.

Ahh, so beautiful! I know you'd rather not ship it but if nobody local enough is biting, do you have an estimate for shipping to Toronto?

JPJ- Man, Zep II was a huge album for bass. Ramble On and The Lemon Song both kick ass, but I always liked his playing best on What Is and What Should Never Be, just so much groove, quintessential bass playing. Entwistle- The Live at Leeds album really showcases the full power of his bass...

If you're looking for vintage gear, Paul's Boutique and Capsule Music both get some pretty sweet stuff in here and there. I can't really comment on the quality of service though as I've only ever really gone in to browse and dream, sigh.

Thanks for the responses. I was interested in the Hartke cabs but I read that the aluminum cones had a bit of an aggressive edge to them. Hard to say whether that is a problem or not without hearing it though. Regarding the Eden cabs, I think I may have gotten the XLT and XST confused. It...

Hi All, First post here but I've been lurking for a while. I'm looking to upgrade to my first proper rig. I've been using a 100w Fender Rumble for a while now and it just isn't cutting it for volume in my current band. I need way more headroom and tone. From snooping around here and...
