  1. Greetings, & please hear me out.... Some guy from one of our other chat havens is refusing to sell me a $1600 amp solely because I insist on using PP's 'goods & services' option.... Is this not a BIG RED LIGHT, and I should finally move on? Last year, I tried buying the very same amp from the same guy, then listed on Reverb (& still listed), but when we butted heads over me pointing out that the posted pictures were lifted from that person's auction, & how do I know what I'm getting, he QUICKLY got real nasty, refusing to even engage me any further & advising me on some other amp out there that my suit my needs... He doesn't know my needs... Again, SERIOUS Red Flag, my gut tells me... And now he's spewing advice on how I should use Telam tubes....WTF?? Thnx
  2. great.... so, paying that pesky fee would help me sleep better, huh?!! BTW, what is their fee, if you know? thnx
  3. Greetings,,, a quick question here,,,,, If I PayPal some dough & send it as 'friends & family-, to avoid those pesky fees), am I still protected under PP's protection against any possible malfeasance? thnx

    Thanks for the candor, & I believe I'll pass on this guy...Too bad~ I've tried every which way to reach out... I need a guy who's a whiz with Blues Jr.'s & Pro Jr.'s, & he had a video that absolutely nailed what I've been looking for.... Any other tech known to you all who's established & reliable, and good with Fenders?? thnx

    Hi all~ I've tried emailing & calling these folks, but having no luck... Is anyone aware of any back door?? Many thanks~
  6. Greetings.... I'm the proud owner of a 1954, 8-tube GA40T,... The amp sounds great & has been properly maintained, but I find that the fixed-3-speed trem is a little too loud, & wanted to know if there's an easy way to drop it's volume a few db...... I'm rather handy, I understand lethal voltages, & if it's a matter of changing a resistor or two's value, I'd love to take it on.. Many thanks in advance~
  7. Greetings... off of the OT are the speaker leads, one green, one black.....Does it not matter which is + or -, & it's just a matter of being in phase with any other amp I may simultaneously be using? Thnx folks!!
  8. cool,, in this diagram, what is S1 as it sits? Looks like it is connecting the 'hots'...? I thought i had done this exact set-up, but i couldnt isolate the left from the right & vice versa....thnx
  9. Greetings,,, The Marshall plate pictured, is what I want to end up with (w/o the series load option, only parallel)The other plate is mine, with each 1/4" input going to one of 2 16 ohm speakers & I'm trying to figure what my double throw on/off would need to do to make this DIY happen?? Or should my initial wiring be the parallel connection, & then get the switch to do whatever...?I want only MONO (8ohms parallel), then 1 left & 1 right speaker for stereo ops.Many thnx
  10. Greetings,,, For my new Morgan JMI amp, I require a new production GZ34, & a few 12AX7's, and want to know who's making exceptional glass these days for each type I need.. Many thanks in advance ॐ💃
  11. Greetings,,, I own a JMI 10th Anniversary heads, & am looking for an empty cab so I can use it as a combo. Any color, even unfinished would be really swell. Thanks in advance. kenny 🕉 kslewitt@gmail.com
  12. Thanks & I figure such... It's definitely a boost of the 'D' type.... it rips,, & yes, he told me it was made behind the shed!!
  13. Hi all.... I heard this amazing overdrive at some club, but it's owner didn't know it's brand or anything.... So, I just need to know if anyone can fill in the blanks... many thanx
  14. hey,, let's throw 'stout' in there as well🥵
  15. Greetings~ I have this early 8-tube Gibson GA40T thas has the 3-speed tremolo that I'd like to make noticeably louder. As you can see, V7(6v6) is the trem driver, & it's a strong tube, so no issue there. Someone kindly point out the resistor that needs its value changed.... Please let me know the present value that (should be) in there, & then what value I should 1st try.... I know all the necessary precautions connected to poking around an amp, & performing this tweak is about as far as I venture.... many thanks, Kenny
  16. Greetings,,, are all, or any, of these WHE208 O.S.'s hardwired, & will it run off of a 9v battery? thnx
  17. Greetings~ just polling.... The added delay & slight fuzziness on the Mad Professor is very nice.... Thnx allॐ💃🪕🪕
  18. Greetings all~ All the demos I've heard sound great!!,, & w/o me getting too wrapped up, is there any big, noticeable diffs between the MkII, MkIV, with or w/o the dipswitch (as seen on newer models)? Thnx folks & happy new year!! ॐ💃
  19. Greetings ~ Much as most of you, I've owned many a chorus pedal over the decades,, most good & some very good,,, But now as I'm going stereo into 2 small combos slightly angled away,,, I want 'that' spatial & most noticeable Stereo effect. I won't be setting it to any crazy sweeps, but just on it's MINIMAL settings, & just maybe 1 or 2 on the 'Delay', just to add some very slight movement to the signal.... I own a DOD Super Chorus, & a H20 Delay Chorus combo,, & they sound like they do it, & I could live & play with them, but as True Stereo & not some mathematical phase difference or whatever,, 100 buck range give or take.... How about the Boss DC2 Waza pedal, though it does have that annoying preset warbling effect.... cool pedal... Thanks all & happy holidays
  20. Greetings,,, Though I'm carefully eyeing the SMS & FYD preamps, do either the Frog or the Effectrode have the proper level of output to plug right into my Mac MC30 home audio tube amp? Will the output resistance/level of them suite the input of an amp that's meant to receive a line level signal from an 'actual' preamp? I believe the output of the Frog is 34K. The amps input impedance is 0.5meg for a 0.5 volt input. I've contacted each company, but getting only vague responses. Thnx very much
  21. Greetings folks,,, now that I have the bass in hand, the bridge is simply flopping around in it's holes in the body,,, I'm an electric guitarist, but my intuition tells me that this is not an optimum setup, & that the bridge would perhaps sit better in a threaded receptacle or even drilled directly into the body.... Is there something that most all new Bass VI owners do to improve on this flimsy setup?? thnx

    Great, but any string suggestions? thnxॐ💃
  23. Heavy it'll remain, tho those helium filled balloons is def rad!!~ thnx ॐ💃
  24. Greetings,, I really love this guitar that was some guy's freshman build... Planet Tone Elite Pro A2's, wenge fretboard, & a wonderful cocobolo cap,,, BUT it clocks in at 10lbs!! I've seen all sorts of decorative chiseling & even craters & holes drilled into the rear of the guitar with questionable aesthetics, but with definite claims of weight loss. I wouldn't dare change the signature Strat shaped body, nor mess with the cocobolo cap, but is there anything that is typically done under these conditions in order to remedy this w/o risking any loss of sustain & overall feel? Many thnx 🕉
