so my Laney LC15 suddenly decided that it doesn't want to power up. LED doesn't light up, no juice. fuses are good and the amp worked great 3 days ago. No weird noises, drops in volume, anything since I replaced the OT (about a week after I bought it). the amp hasn't been dropped or banged...

so I'm looking into purchasing some nut files from StewMac but I'm not sure what gauges to purchase. some of the sizes I need fall inbetween and I'm not sure whether to get a narrower file and try to rock it back and forth or get a slightly wider file. does it make a difference if the string...

anyone tried an A4 mag recently? I have a new superstrat project in the works and I'm probably putting in my A2 JB (JB2) but I do have an A4 mag lying around . . . just wanted to see if anyone had an a really negative experience with an A4 in a JB since it's a pain in the guy parts to keep...

ok fellas, have a few more things to unload so I can fund some new ink. All prices are PayPal'd and shipped in the lower 48. 1) 59/Jazz hybrid neck pickup. tons of lead wire, no logo, cosmetically nice and pretty. This is a smooth neck pup that's a little warmer than a regular Jazz neck but...

not sure if anyone else has seen these yet: http://store.guitarfetish.com/ststbo.html ~$50 for painted paulownia wood or unfinished ash. given that even the junkiest Chinese plywood Strat bodies go for $50 on Ebay, these might be nice for a project. not sure about the neck - the frets can't...

what voltage do you use? 9,12, or 18? I haven't purchased an adapter yet, so before I run out and buy one (esp. a 12v or 18v), I was wondering how does the increased voltage change the tone?

Just finished rocking out on my Laney LC15 with a new Mercury Magnetics output transformer - well worth the $75 I paid to get one from Weber. the original OT was dying out - amp output would intermittently drop off, overall volume was not what it should be. now the amp is loud, clear, and the...

ok, so I'm in the process of replacing the OT on my Laney LC15 with a Mercury Magnetics unit. I got rid of the extra wires for the internal speaker and I'm going to run the internal speaker from the line out jack (using a cable with a 1/4" jack on one side and terminals on the other, like...

just wondering if anyone has tried a PG bridge pup in the neck position. I know that the Jazz bridge tends to work well in the neck whereas the 59b is frequently too bassy. haven't read anything on the PG used like this though.

I have a guitar that my mom purchased for teaching music classes back in 1972. I'm going to sell it and was hoping maybe someone on the SDUGF can give me an idea what to ask for it. It's a 1972 Kasuga KF-820 acoustic. it's definitely not one of the higher end Martin copies that Kasuga...

anybody every try these early Marshall solid state amps? they seem to be going for ~$150 or a little less and I was thinking about picking one up as a practice amp. One I'm looking at now has a Celestion G12M-70 (meh), probably made in mid 1980s, but it's super clean. Has to be better than...

anybody else using these? just placed an order for a BuzzBomb 2x12 since my Mesa 4x12 won't fit in my car. haven't ordered speakers yet but I'm thinking maybe Eminence Lynch V12s . . . so what setup does everybody else have?

anybody tried these yet? just curious what the consensus is. I've always been a little unsure about trying Eminence speakers (not b/c of quality - I'm just stuck on the classic Celestion tones). the Lynch V12s seem like they might be pretty decent though based on the specs and on the Guitar...

so I decided to keep my Stiletto head but I don't have the space for a 4x12 anymore. So here she is: Mesa Stiletto/Traditional 4x12 slant cab, 99% new. No cuts, tears, or scratches. Always stored in climate controlled room. Slip cover and casters included. I have this up on the Baltimore...
