Re: Amp that turns guitar into bass? Here is the bass. It's next to a grand concert H-162 for scale. I don't know what's up with this photo quality loss from uploading.

Are there any modeling amps that make a guitar sound like a bass?

Re: Jumping channels on a Supro Super Yes, it's one of the Valco ones; it seems like 1962, looking up the serial. I see what you mean, looking at pics online, about the two-input panels.

I recently got an old Supro 1606 and wondered since it has three inputs, if I could jump the channels. It's got two inputs and another labled "switch." The guitar plays through all three, and they all sound the same to me. With every combination of plugging into one channel and connecting the...

Re: Single bridge humbucker guitars?

Just something I was wondering, looking online at all the neck wood combinations that people use.

I've read through some threads online about jumpering with 4 input amps to get more gain, and mentioned here and there was using an aby pedal to do it with a 2 input amp. I was interested in the idea of doing it to get a little bit more gain. Is it worth trying/buying an aby pedal, and if it...

I recently bought a '69 Jet that was very rough sounding, for a good price. The Jet is the one with black tolex and the big A, and a solid state rectifier. The seller thought it might need new tubes. I planned to take it to a tech, but thought maybe I'd try to get some new tubes for it first...

I've been wanting to refinish a guitar neck for a close to bare wood feel, and thought I'd try something like what's described in this article: http://www.premierguitar.com/articles/sanding_your_guitar_neck_for_a_smoother_feel The author basically says it's 50/50 alcohol and shellac...

I've got a Peavey Predator that came with the saddles almost maxed out high. Is there anything inherently wrong with this? The guy I got it from used to be a guitar tech, so I assumed there was some reason he didn't or couldn't adjust the neck to set the action the way it is. I like the...

Can anyone point me to or help me out with a diagram for this? I've had a hard time finding anything on the internet. The pickup has the wire with the outer braided metal, I believe that's the single-conductor wire?

Re: Sub $200 guitar with 12" radius 22 fret 42mm or 1 5/8" nut Neck? Exist??? Re: Sub $200 guitar with 12" radius 22 fret 42mm or 1 5/8" nut Neck? Exist??? I put some new strings on it and blocked the tremolo. I've got some more things I want to do to it... I'm sure I'll be posting a...

I've got an Ibanez from the early 90's with a Viper neck, which I love. I'm looking for a cheap (under $150 or $200 used) 2nd guitar and want something like what I'm used to. The Ibanez has a 12" radius, 22 frets, and from specs on the web a 42mm (1 5/8?) nut, 56mm width at last fret, 19.50mm...

I am a beginner guitar player. I recently bought a Silverface Champ and am wondering if anyone can give me any advice. I am mostly interested in playing blues and some rock. I wasn't expecting to get a huge amount of breakup with the Champ, but have watched Youtube clips in which people would...
