Hi, I just have a few questions that I hope someone here could clear up to for me. 1. Do 16 ohm speakers always measure up to near 16 ohms? Measuring at the jack of my Series/Parralel cab I get a reading around 13.1... Is this normal and safe? 2. Also, I noticed that there is red goop...

Yikes, I just installed four brand new Celestions (X pattern of Classic 80s and V30s) wired them up series/ parallel as per the diagram on Celestion's site, but I'm only getting sound from the right hand pair of speakers. I've checked for blown speakers with my ohm meter set across the tabs...

Hi, I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I have an '83 LP custom with gold plated pu covers. They have developed arather nasty green corrosion on theem. I can knock some of it off with the edge of my fingernail, but would like a better solution. Is there a polish that's safe...

Hi, I just had a quick question for all of you. I'm about to order a quartet of JJ E34Ls from Eurotubes for my new JMP 2203. I was wondering if it is considered a "no no" by most techs to bring in your own tubes to be installed and biased. There are only two techs I trust in my area and one...

Hi, I’ve finally decided to buy new speakers for my cab. I currently have three original G12M Greenbacks and one G12H-30-RI in my early 70s Marshall cab. These worked out OK (just OK) with my 2204, but now that I have a new JMP 2203 I need to upgrade the cabs power handling. I’m already...

Hi, I'm looking at buying this old Orville LP Custom. Unfortunatly at one time it had die-cut sticker on it. Since the sticker has been removed it has left the guitar with uneven yellowing of the finish, with the the area once concealed by the sticker left a bright white. I was wondering if...

Hi, Anyone here a Dictators fan? I was hoping someone could tell me a little bit about Ross' amplifier setup. While I know he uses 2203s, I’d like to know what tubes he uses (EL-34s, 6550s?), mods he’s had done on it, and what speakers he loads his cabs with. I’m really only interested in...

Hi, After seeing a Les Paul I liked on eBay, I emailed the seller and asked him if the acoustic tone of the guitar tended more toward bright and resonant or dark and sustaining. He replied that the guitar was dark and warm toned, yet extremely resonant and sustaining. My experience has been...

Hi, I'm looking to replace the stock bridge PU in my Yamaha SBG200. From what I've read this is a mahogony bodied guitar, though you would never think so from hearing it. Instead of the lowmids and mids centered sound typically associated with maghongy, this guitar seems to be centered in...

Hi, I’m looking to get both a bridge P90 sound AND a bridge HB sound out of a soon to be mine Ibanez AR200 (essentially an LP.) Planning on putting a C5 in the bridge, but wanted to know the best way of getting a bridge like P90 sound out of the neck. What would putting a bridge Phat Cat in...
