    Valve options for HRD

    Hi All! I have a set of JJs in my HRD that are due to be replaced... One is rattling, they're 10 years old, that's all the excuse I need! I have a les paul with seth lovers in 50s wiring, a red coat governor speaker, and a THD hot plate. I'm looking for a clear, 'open' sound, and I'd like to...

    Shielding and Gibson-style braided cables

    Re: Shielding and Gibson-style braided cables Thanks everyone, I appreciate the support. Here is how it came back, it looks like some bad soldering to me: So I fixed it... I think... TBH it's all a bit messy. Just now I fiddled with the wires and there is definitely a break in there...

    Shielding and Gibson-style braided cables

    Hi All! I have just had a Seth set installed in my LP Studio, and now I am having trouble with hum and buzz. There is a nasty, nasal low-pitched buzz, and when I take my hand of the strings/bridge, I get another high-pitched buzz as well. It hums, but I can deal with hum. I can't deal with a...

    Anyone actually use neck tone?

    I'm getting my guitar rewired when my guitar tech installs a seth set. I'm trying to decide whether to go master tone and master bass roll-off, or add a fifth pot to my les paul for a master bass roll-off, and keep the two tone pots. Does anyone use master treble/bass tone controls? Do you miss...

    Changing triple shot configuration

    Hi gang! So I just got my triple shots, and I notice that you have to flick BOTH switches to switch between series and parallel on a humbucker. Both to outside is parallel, both to centre is series. Since will usually only use parallel and probably not single coil, I was hoping to only have to...

    'Lightly potted' seths

    Hi Gang. I have my eye on a set of Seth Lovers from the custom shop that have been quote 'lightly potted.' Apparently this was to reduce feedback or something... I am mainly interested in them because they are 4 conductor and cheap to ship to Aus! :) Would being lightly potted impact the seth...

    'Ultimate' mad professor wiring?

    Hello! I am thinking of getting SETHn and 59/Cb. [UPDATE: I have now settled on a Set set, 4-conductor.] I would like to wire my LP studio in the most flexible way possible, to explore some new frontiers... I never use the neck tone pot. I usually have both volumes and tones at 10. Happy to...

    Les Paul Studio - looking for 'Forever' pickups

    Hi, I'm gearing up to get a set of pups for my faithful, battered '96 LP studio. It currently has the stock pups which are... OK. I just make them work using EQ pedals and whatnot. Now I'm looking to install a set of pups which will stay in there until the grime glues them in place. I have...
