Hey guys, just had a mate contact me - he's bought a 12ax7-base tube mic and he wants to upgrade from the chinese thing in there.. what's the scoop? do i recommend what i like in guitar preamps? (JJ 12ax7..) or do different criteria apply?

Hey guys, if you rout a tele bridge position for a humbucker, would you be able to replace that with the original bridge at some point without seeing any wood missing? i'm thinking of keeping an eye out for the parts for a tele-gib, but i don't know if i'd prefer a singlecoil bridge.. im...

hey guys, i'm not sure who's near me geographically but someone might have contacts.. this has to go quite soon! the parents are moving house and it's too big for my uni room! It's a Peavey Mark VIII XP with the matching TVX210 cab - 350w at 4 ohms, 600w at 2 ohms. The cab is 4 ohms, but adding...

Hey guys, this was delivered earlier in the month. It's actually a stencil (ghost maker) - it's really a Conn new wonder. could have been made anywhere between the end of WW1 and the end of WW2. looking good for it's age, silver plated brass, gold plated bell. it's a C-Melody - sized between...

let's cut the foreplay, here's the info :) http://users.telenet.be/orangefg/OFG_H120CV.htm and here's my shots! enjoy!

Guys, I've seen and really like an aria LC-440 on ebay, needs a bit of work (tuners and bridge!) anyone know about these models? i'll pull up a pic when i get home! it's japanese and stamped - just how well regarded is the matsumoku stuff?

ok, so my local music store offered me £300 for my seven-string (stupidly high :D) so i'm planning to trade in my melody maker and DSL401 (since i got the orange it's barely been touched) and go for my first 'proper' big two guitar. That should leave me around the £900 mark. they've got a few...

Some of you guys might remember me getting an orange reverb twin: https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?p=1953592#post1953592 this is the first chance ive had to get back to fault finding with it.. reseated all the tubes, switched in the reverb cable from my DSL and the frickin'...

Hey Guys, Mattt's offered the torch to me, so here i am! i probably can't promise a story like matts, but there's only one way to find out :naughty: Fire away!

rats!! it's my rga121 - everythings smooth as butter apart from a single fret which chokes out every single time! is there anything i can do besides getting a tech on the problem? can they recrown just a single fret? money's a dirty word right now :( cheers guys! Tom

you guys might remember the auction i won? well, i bought it home, it's been an interesting half hour having a look at it :D holy crap. it's much cleaner sounding than i thought it would be - it's basically an EL34 fender twin! the tube tremolo is fantastic, worth the admission price alone...

details to follow if i win the auction.... :smokin:

so, the stock DSL401 reverb tank died (4BB3C1D), and i'm looking to replace it to sell the amp. the only common alternative is the 4AB3C1B, used in other marshalls.. what happens if the input impedance isn't an exact match? is there any other way around this? cheers, tom

... because there's a used one up the road for an ok price! i've seen the videos, loved them. i currently run a DSL401 but even after modding it i'm not 100% happy with how it responds or sounds - the DSL's 4x12ax and 4xel84, whereas the TT has two of each. who's played one for a wee while? i...

Hey hey! I've got a basically new (installed in a guitar i didn't like, taken out after a couple of months) Phat Cat Bridge in Gold. tried to polish a turd, basically- binning the guitar :laugh2: anyone got any trades? UK guys could buy for £35 posted if they wanted, too :) I'm after a...
