Re: NAD the amp fender never made but should have. If you are in new south wales give eric bellingham a call at EB Amps and cabs. He has done four amps for me now, a tweed deluxe, a princeton with a 12, one of his own amps based on a jtm 45 and this one. His work is top shelf and he liked...

Re: NAD the amp fender never made but should have. Something cool that maybe you guys stateside have not seen: a selectable voltage power transformer

Been waiting months for all the pieces to fit together but it will play its first gig today. Bassman 50 in a 1x12 combo. I had the combo built specially and installed a hammond transformer so it run at 8 ohms thru a texas heat 12. Twang for days. All new electrolytic caps and fresh tubes.Twice...

A funny thing happened today. I installed one of the reissue jensen p12n speakers into my 1x12 tweed bassman style amp. It sounds really great! Fat, warm, bell like and chimey. It really surprised me because last time I tried one I wasnt so keen. Perhaps it was because last time I tried one it...

lucky it was only a 250k volume pot. Works pretty good. :lmao:

I love my old twin for all its headroom and twang but damn that thing is heavy. Thinking of building a deluxe reverb (or a princeton) with all the big iron and 6l6s. Any recommendations on what trannies I should look at? Also...thinking of a big beast speaker like an eminence hemp dog or em12...

Re: Introducing the Active Mag Acoustic Pickup Well the mag mic is in

1979 Maton (the brand tommy emmanuel uses) CW80 model. Most people call this the "country and western" model. For those of you not familiar with maton guitars, they have been hand built in Australia since the 50s and are still going strong today. Somewhat of a legend here for working musos...

Re: 335's...Do you like the later years? Mine is an 06. It has whole lotta humbuckers, a bigsby and the fat neck. It is a heavy guitar, but it sure sounds good.

Re: Telecaster with 59' humbucker in the neck i made a similar tele except it had a pearly gates in the neck and a jerry donahue in the bridge. Everyone who heard it loved it. Use 500k pots and a resistor and you'll be all good. If you get out the multimeter, youll also find that using a 510k...

Re: First Tele, need help! lol more like "cheap cell phone lighting" Here is a clearer pic:

Re: First Tele, need help! Jerry Donahue will pair nicely with the neck seth humbucker. Drop the greasebucket and go with standard wiring...but...use 500k pots and add a 470k ohm resistor for the bridge pickup, so it sees 250k at the volume. Brass barrels for sure, or simply drop in either a...

Needed a spare tele for the event of string breakages at gigs because I need to set up my usual backup (strat) for slide (do we really need reasons for more axes?). This one is a 2012 American Standard. It sure is a weapon. Swamp ash and maple neck. Fender broadcaster bridge and twisted tele...
