Re: WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST AMP? I got this TA-60 in about 1969 to play my Hammond organ (unfortunately not a B3) through at small gigs. It was very clean for guitar, but a little distorted when connected to the organ from the headphone jack - impedance mismatch? I wish I could try one now.

I have one of the Guitar Fetish SG-looking blowout bodies and a neck. How should I wire it? It has holes for the LP/SG control layout. I want to be able to split both pickups, but I don't know which coils to use. I was thinking along the lines of master volume/master tone and two Spin-a-Splits...

I bought my YCV40 used 6 or 7 years ago, and now it has started sounding fizzy. Even the clean channel sounds dirty. I accidentally left it on for a few days a while back and this started after that, so i figure it's time for new tubes. I was looking on Eurotubes at: Traynor YCV40 - KT77 Blues...

Does anybody have any experience with these? I am considering ordering one of their Jazz bass copy bodies to replace the body of my old, heavy Peavey T-40 bass. The Peavey must weigh at least 8 lbs.; the Guitar Fetish body is about 3 1/2 lb.

I have this bass from the mid 80's, and the pots are all scratchy - it needs some help. It has some pretty complicated wiring. Here is a description of the pickups and controls from the T-40 Forum I found: Pickups- All Peavey T-40's have chrome rimmed ferrite (iron) humbuckers with a wide...

I love this pedal, but something has gone wrong. Help! I'm building a new pedal board (woodwork done, but still needs carpet - thread w/ pics to come) and I moved the pedals to the new board for tonight's band practice. I wasn't getting any sound, so I started unplugging pedals from the chain...

I need some help... I bought a Bad Horsie 2 from a forum brother, and I like it so much that it has replaced my old Cry Baby. However, it has recently developed a "squish, squish" noise when I work the pedal that makes it unusable. Does it need some kind of cleaning, and how do I do it?

Will this work well? I have a 59/Jazz in the neck position of one of my teles and a PG in the other, and I'm not happy with the PG compared with the hybrid. What do y'all think? In THE hybrid thread, BachtoRock wrote that the PG was about the same as a 59, but with fewer windings. Will this...

I have a Distortion and a Custom Custom sitting around, and I was wondering what kind of hybrid these would make. I have extra A2 and A5 magnets, and I would probably lose the ceramic from the distortion and use one of those. Has anybody tried this combination?

Has anyone tried an SH 6 Distortion with an A5 or A2 magnet? When I bought the SH6 I had in my MIM Fat Strat three years ago, I went with the recommendation of the kid at Guitar Center. I was new to the SD forum and didn't know what I wanted. Now I have the SH6 and a couple of magnets, and I...

I need to clear some stuff out. I bought two Crazy 8's - I should sell one of 'em (regular spaced, never even opened). I also have a couple of hybrids I bought a couple of years ago from Jumpmarine and never used. - a 59/Jazz neck (nickel cover, double black bobbins w/o logo.) I paid $125 for...

I had this up for sale a while back, and I still don't play it, so here goes again. It's at least a 9 out of 10. There is a little pick checking just above the pickguard from when I let someone else play it, but it's hard to see. The is a tiny chip in the finish on the edge where the forearm...

The teenager I sold this Squier set-neck Tele brought this over last night. He says he set it up on top of his amp and went to get a drink, and when he came back his little brother had knocked it off and it hit the floor. The wood broke, not the original glue joint, and when I fit the neck and...

I've had a few PMs asking about this since I offered it on the "Wanted MIM Strat" thread, so here's what I have: 2003 Midnight Wine MIM Fat Strat (the color is darker than the pictures show) black/white/black Stewmac pickguard SD Distortion (b) SSL-5 Custom (m) SSL-1 (n) bone nut push-pull...

Last night my neighbor and I finally got around to trying out Audacity. We mic'ed everything through the PA, one track at a time into an HP laptop, listening to the playback through headphones, and playing along. He played a drum track first, then a bass track, then I did a guitar track, then he...
