I was trolling through my local Pawn Shop and he has two Peavey amps that caught my eye. 1 was a RENOWN 4OO, the other is a Bandit. I see the Bandit mention alot here, but finding any feed back on the Renown 400 (other than Harmony-Central) is pretty scares. I have a tube amp and was...

Was wondering if, by description (camera broke this weekend) if you could help me Id a Gibson pickup I have. Searched the internet and couldn't find any pictures that matched, so maybe one of you could help. Description: Humbucker Double Black Single braded lead 12 Gold Screws holding...

The Karmer Baretta I just got has a JB in it. Not real familar with this pickup so I have a couple of questions: Q1. Are JBs naturally "microphonic"? Reason: Never played with a pickup that transmits every movement of the strings/fingers. When playing with some volume, the movement of my...

A couple weeks back I mentioned finding a Kramer in the pawn shop for 99.00. I finally got it out and told you guys I would post some photos. I have the photos on photobucket, so how do I transfer to here, so they show up. New to this photo thing, so have patience please...

I decided it's time to get my 78 LPS a refret and tune up. Can anyone recommend a good luthier in the Central Texas area that you would trust to do a Les Paul? It's a 1978 Tobacco Standard and this will be it's first refret or tune up. I am the original owner and to say I am a little leary...

I need some input from you EMG experts. I have an old EMG 81 that has two wires leading to it. One I'm guessing is the power lead. I just purchased (on hold until 10APR07) a Samick Artist series with HS configuration Active Samick pickups. It has the regular blade toggle and a smaller two way...

Lost out on an Ibanez RG370DX is was looking at, and saw this Samick hanging there on the wall. It's supposed to be early 90's and and no model number. Details are as follows: Body: 2 piece wood of unknown type. Did have some good grain though and had some weight to it. The body shape was a...

NEED your opinions on a possible trade I might be making. I have a Fender Squire Stagemaster 7 with a Floyd that my wife picked up for me. I played with it for awhile, but 7 strings aren't for me. I might be able to trade for and Ibanez RG 370DX. Both are in about the same condition (used very...

I have a MusicMan 212HD 130 that has been brought back from the dead. I would say it is "voiced" simular to a Fender Twin, but not quit. The speakers that are in it are Emi Texas Heats which I like alot. But doing some thinking this weekend and wondering what would happen if (read: sound like)...

Lost a deal on a Strat I was looking at and was bummed. Crusing through the local Pawn Shops with a friend and spotted it. Not familar with Kramer guitars, but it played good even though it was "well used". So i though it would be a good guitar to put this JB4 I've had laying around for a long...

I have a 78 LPS that I put a Seth Lover in the bridge a few years back, but still have the stock (490?) pickup in the neck. For some reason the stock pickup seems to have more presence (louder) than the Seth in the bridge. The stock pickup sounds pretty good, especially when played clean, but...

My MM212HD died just before I re-deployed back to Iraq. After a conversation with Scott F about converting the amp rather than getting a cap job, I got to thinking about the idea. We have a guy working over here what is an electronics guru. I downloaded the schematics for my MM and a Marshall...

Just a report of sorts. Between the Army sending me all over the place, replacing the Transmission in my Jeep, working on my wifes truck and doing work here on the farm, I am still managing to get some quality playing time in. Those Texas Heats that Scott F put into my MusicMan just seem to be...

Anyone have a wiring diagram for a phaser(stomp box type) pedal. Thanks

I have a 1964 Melody Maker that needs to have the ferts replaced. Any recommendations of someone in the Central Texas area that would be able to do this? If the forum brothers know someone outside that area, I might be willing to ship, but that makes me nervous, to say the least. Thanks
