Oh great, I Thought I was on a Bass website, but now it looks like I'm on a Bass website.
BTW - who's bright idea was it to spell those two words the same!

That '15 needs a black pickguard with a gold 'bird.

It has one, that's an old photo.

is Canada on 117Vac/60Hz as well?

Yes. Only in metric

No multimeter, no problem. Just fill the bathtub up with water, plug the amp in to the wall socket and drop it in the tub. If it flips the circuit breaker or flashes pretty bursts of bright light then you were getting ample power to the amp and there's no problem with your outlet or your cord.

Actually, I know the cord is good. With it plugged into the wall, I licked it and my tongue tingled.*





* I didn't really do this and I highly recommend that others not lick any electrical component. But if you do, have someone take a video and post it here.

We should make a distinction. Put umlats on the "a" when you are talking about bass.

5 0’clock somewhere, eh?

When I used my PF350, I found I had to crank the master much more than most other amps.

I know the position of the knobs will vary and some amps max out at a lower position, but it made it seem like the PF350 was underpowered.

Mine now goes into protection mode if I try to play loud. I tried using it as a preamp, but even with no speaker connected, it still goes into protection when you crank it.... My daughter still uses it at low volumes at home.

My PF-500 did that. Voicing was all wrong for me too. All in all a miserable experience.

Which one?[doesn't really matter. I don't have those or the squiggly thingy over "n's" en Espanol on my keyboard]

On Cinco de Mayo, it's beer o'clock all day, seniores y senioras! Having an IPA as we speak.

It went into protection mode or the master had to be up high?

I'm really liking Rock Masters on all my Birds except the '89 (DR Hellborg), I'm ordering 3 sets later this week - the incoming Studio will be getting a set right away, the Greco is due for some new ones and the VP will need a set when it comes out of quarantine.

I am liking the Burners on my VP and will be installing them on the 77 next. Pretty sure I have Rock Masters on the sunburst Hamer Bird and they sound great!!!

is Canada on 117Vac/60Hz as well?

Yes the US and Canada have an interconnected 120V/60Hz grid. It can be +/- 5%

¡Ándale! ¡Ándale! ¡Arriba! ¡Arriba! ¡Epa! ¡Epa! ¡Epa! Yeehaw!

Except Quebec where (at least when I lived on the border with PQ) there are frequent brown outs and plenty of noise in that 60hz.

It may be different now, but I suspect not.

Here you go. Copy and paste as you need them!

If demand is down, it might be better....

I can say no more lest we move down the path of Laurentian politics. And that would be exceptionally confusing to our American friends who have enough trouble with the metric system...

I'll have a Royale with cheese,
