My Blues Deluxe (older mid 90's model) is making some strange noises. The amp makes a distinct airy electronic sound at a certain pitch (the C# on the second second string 2nd fret, and all other places that exact tone can be played). The note comes through, then the electronic sound + the note...

Recently my amp has developed a new and interesting problem, it seems that the input jack is comming loose and shorting out. When I purchased the amp about a year ago the nut and washer that hold the input jack still had been stripped off, but until now it hasn't been a problem. Now when I...

I was playing my schecter semi-hollow (the older with two inputs) and the volume cut off suddely (in the lower of the two inputs). I looked at the back of the guitar and the holder for the battery was open, so I closed it. However, now all I hear is a very light, distorted sound. The higher...

I was playing today and noticed that my tubes are glowing different colors. The first power tube glows a bright yellow, while the second is glowing a slightly dimmer and orange. Is this a bad sign? The tone seems the same, but I dont have my amp 3 months ago to test against so I cant be but so...

After a heathly amout of hearing good things, i've decided i'm in the market for a schecter. I narrowed it down to two guitars, but I can't seem to decide, so any help would be apreciated. The two in question are the C-1 A/E and the C/SH-1. I will be buying used off ebay, if that makes a...

Ok, I've been serching for a guitar again ( I went on a hunt mabey...6 months ago, but decided at the time to buy an amp- A Blues Deluxe). Right now the main contender is this Deluxe players strat, I like the idea of a strat with the flatter radius and medium-jumbo frets. Also i've heard the...

Im having some new found problems with my fender amp. If you could give me some help that would be great. I put a new set of strings on my gutiar recently, and either something about the strings, or something with my amp is making an annoying staticy sound. It almost sounds like a string...

I played one of these today and it felt great! however, I didnt much like the sound or cosmetic look of it. From a playing point of view, I really liked the fret size, but I cant seem to find anything with it listed (to find other guitars like it, the music shop in town only carries ibanez and...

I have been playing my BD for awhile now, but I relized I had never used the second guitar plugin (its suposed to be less resposive or something to that order..) So I plugged into it today and it works, but only at low volume. I really like the tone it gets, but past about 2 on the amp volume...

So i've decided I need a new electric. I took a look at my setup yeasterday and thats where im lacking. My Aria acustic (circa 1982) is just fine, my amp is splendid (fender blues deluxe) but my electric is a POS. So, the research begins, I dont like to jump headfirst into anything lol. What...

Alright, im mostly self taugh (I just listen to songs and learn them, I know, not the best way) But latley i've been trying to read music and learn from that. So I was wondering, in BPM how much is one who beat in 4/4 timing? I know thats really basic, but its been bothering me lol. My...

I've been guitar shopping for awhile now. I had it narrowed down to the epiphone les paul, until I saw this-http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/g=guitar/content/doc_id=91865/base_pid=510637 Now, obviously since im looking into a epiphione not a gibson, I dont have $1300 for a gutiar. Heres my...

Alright, I bought a '96 Blues Deluxe about a week ago. It sounds great, but I cant seem to find that just right tone. I've been tweaking the knobs every which way, but I cant seem to hit the spot. So, does anyone have some setting advise for this amp? or any fender tube amp really. As a...

Ok, i know its something to do with wood quality, and the higher the better, but what exaclty are all those A's measuring? what seperates the AA maple top on a epi from the AAA maple top on a gibson?

I just purchased a Fender Blues Deluxe off of ebay. My only question is about the tubes. The stock tubes were recently (last month) replaced with a set of Groove Tube KT 66's. Are these tubes any good? will I want to change them out quickly after getting them?
