So I'm looking to overhaul my Les Paul and I'm looking for opinions on HB sized P90s. I recently borrowed a Tele with P90's from a friend and the output was good, rolling back cleaned up nicely. looking on ebay, i can go from £38 for a set from vansons ? through to gibson p94's at around £150 for th...

Re: So what if?

what ant said...

where are you running the boost? if it's infront and you've got the gain high, it'll not seem to do much...

if you've got enough headroom left in the power section... putting the boost in the loop will do the job...

if that doesn't work... you need a more powerful amp!

Re: AD30TC head has "lost it's balls."

the ad30 has 2 preamps and a power amp... is it both channels?... if so.. it suggests power amp... i assume both cabs are 16 ohms, plugged into the 8 ohm outs or daisy chained? it's not the lead from guitar to amp? when testing like this, i remove as many variables as possible... guitar - head - cab...

Re: classic vibe tele owners...

yeah, i agree, great guitar for the money...

i figured while i was in there and i'd noticed it was painted, i may as well connect it to ground!

just so you know... the neck's pu's routed for a HB on mine too...

classic vibe tele owners...

firstly, well done for choosing an excellent guitar... so over the last few days, i've been in the process of modding my strat; shielding the cavity is one of the things i've done to try and quieten it down... whilst waiting for the new parts to arrive 1 ply black pick guard, push pull pots, new swi...

shielding the cavity

has anyone ever used copper tape to shield the cavity on a guitar?

any tips/tricks/advice?

how important is it to make sure there's no gaps?

i'm really liking the cream/white switch tip.... the rest of it, do what you want!... black rings would make it look classier, as would the black knobs... have you got this kind: https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ0TxcC4memqKYRMQgJxzEv2WWJjxm5gL8CfvBmfzw0Bdc7vOQxHg or this kind: ...

strat wiring mod...

so i stumbled across a simple mod eric johnson's apparently done on his strat in the past... simply wireing the neck pickup in place of the middle pickup and the middle in place of the neck. that'd suggest; 5 - middle 4 - middle and neck 3 - neck 2 - neck and bridge 1 - bridge has anyone tried this?...

Re: Delay multi-tool

if it were me, i'd be looking to slim things down... but a large board or two doesn't seem to phase you... personally, i'd keep the maxon... for your analogue needs then getting a midi controller to overcome the issues with your flashback may be the answer... the m9 and dl4 are the same thing in a d...

Re: Reducing wattage of a rockerverb Mk I 50?

the rv mk1's have a circuit in them to allow it to keep working if 1 of the power tubes blows... it just uses 2 output tubes instead of 4... i believe when this came up in the past, the suggestion was to remove one of the fuses to a set of tubes; leaving the tubes in place as this was much simpler t...
