I was wondering if a tolex cutout pattern exists for a Marshall 1960B cabinet? I'm thinking about re-covering mine, and that would save me a lot of monkeying around. Also, it had no tolex on it whatsoever when I picked it up, so no I cannot tear off any old tolex and use it as a pattern. Thanks!

Hello all, I'll get right to the point here: I love 412 cabs, but they're just too damned heavy. Every time I move one up/down a staircase (jamming in basements, anyone?), it curdles my milk, man. So! I've the idea to build a 412-sized cab, with one high-wattage 12in smack-dab in the middle...

Hello friends, I have a very old Kustom 412L bass cabinet that is missing the front "K" badge. I'd like to track one down but can't seem to turn anything up. Does anyone know where I can find one of these? I've tried ebay several times with no dice. I've included two photos, one of another cab...

I'd like to repair some dings in the blonde tolex on my Egnater cab. See pics. Any ideas?

Wow I haven't posted on here in forever! I have an Egnater 212x cab, and it's amazing! The Celestion "Elite 80" speakers that came stock with it sound very good, however in my seemingly endless quest to sound heavy, I'd like to upgrade to something a little more voiced toward the type of music...

Ok, I need a diagram for: 1 Humbucker (Fender TexMex) 1 volume 1 push-pull tone for series/parallel 1 mini toggle killswitch (DPDT on-on) ...and of course the input jack lol Go!

Boys, I'm looking for a budget-priced 6 string guitar, with wood-mount humbuckers. Just one bridge humbucker would do me just fine, but I'm willing to consider any suggestions. I hate pickup rings and pickguards. Aaaaand...GO! Thanks! :D

I recently replaced the lead wire on my Fender Atomic Humbucker Bridge pup. It now reads 8.43k resistance, and it's supposed to read about 16k. Trouble is, I never measured the resistance before replacing the lead wire, and I haven't put it into a guitar and listened to it yet. One of the 4...

Forgive me if this has been addressed before, but I have a question regarding the 3-way pup selector switch on my 1998 Fender Cyclone. It seems that the factory wiring job included some kind of resistor across the 3-way switch. Why in the world would they do this?

I'm having some trouble making heads or tails of what is up, down, left, or right in this diagram: My question is what direction are we viewing the push-pull pots from here? From the bottom? From the top? I have 2 DiMarzio push pulls that look like this:

Is there ever a need to adjust a pickup further away from the strings than level with the pickguard? I need to trim off some excess length on my pickup adjustment screws and figured this would be a good point for the lowest possible adjustment-level with the pickguard that is.

So Iv'e finally made up my mind for a set of pups to go in my 98 Cyclone... This in the bridge: This in the neck: ...just ordered both pups, and 2 dimarzio 250k push pull pots for splitting. Orange Drop .22 tone cap. Blue/Red pup is on back order. Does anyone else have experience with...

Any thoughts? Stag mag? Parallel Axis?

I recently came across some information on eurotubes.com about a modification to the Blackheart BH100H hothead that allows it to run 6550 power tubes instead of EL34's. From their description, it's not so much a modification as it is a simple bias adjustment. Something about taking the cathode...

Ok, here's something that I couldn't find in the wiring diagram section, that I'd like to somehow implement: * 1 Prail trembucker (Bridge) * 1 fender Noiseless single coil (Neck) * 1 push pull volume * 1 push pull tone * 3 way selector switch Parallel hum, series hum, rail, and p90 desired...
