My JJ 6V6 and ECC83S's are here for the HRD and I'll be putting them in tomarrow. This is my first tube swap. Do I have to do the burning in of the tubes. I think I read somewhere to leave the amp on for 48 hours or keep a low music signal running through the amp during that 48 hours or something like that. I've pulled the power tubes out so I'm guessing the preamp tubes just pull out like the power tubes also?

Coil Split help!!
Hi guys,
Here's my problem: i have a Fender double Fat Strat with a JB/Jazz set in it. I'm using a Megaswitch P model for the PRS wiring and it seems like the JB is not splitting correctly. I flipped the JB magnet as recommended and wired everything according to the schematic and the Jazz PU seems to be working correctly, but on the 3 inbetween positions, the JB seems to be splitting the opposite coil?

I've seen this in a few threads recantly and I think I might buy a the Ranger from buildyourownclone.com. Just wondered what people who have used them thought. Is it much harder than wiring pickups?

The reason i'm looking for a norseman as a buyer, is because shipping and payment are so much easier. No offense no-norwegian guys I have a Ibanez RG-270DX, dark blue metallic, for sale. The guitar is nearly mint condition, no noticeable scratches or marks, almost as new.

Clean Volume Boost?
Hello. Can anyone recommend a clean volume boost. I need to raise the volume for leads. I definitly don't want to color my tone in anyway. Just a clean boost. Possibly true bypass. Not an overdrive.

Fender Strat Customization Input
I play from a 1985 Marshall JCM800, a Reissue 1960b Cab, with Line 6 Distortion and A PRS Custom 24 and i have a American Strat as a backup. The Guitar player in my band quit so now im the only one and i need a backup i can rely on. Im looking for the Perfect 3 pickups for my Strat; a humbucker with 2 single coils. I want a range from Saosin to The Used to Atreyu to Rise Against, while still sounding somewhat original. In other words i want to have a in your face guitar sound thats not too metal but not too light; somewhere in the middle. The PRS is perfect but my strat needs to be a reliable backup. I was thinking:

Oiling a Rosewood Neck
My Warmoth guitar has a rosewood neck, and I absolutely love the feel of the bare wood. However, I'd like to oil it with something so that it doesn't dry out. I was originally going to use tung oil, but I'm told I'd have to seal the wood with laquer or epoxy first, and that sort of defeats the purpose of the rosewood neck. I also have teak oil and rosewood oil available. The teak oil seems like it would work well, but how would it react to rosewood as apposed to teak. The rosewood oil probably couldn't hurt, but would it actually do anything or would it just soak in? For unfinished maple (the back of the neck) use tung oil. Look for oil that they used on the stocks of rifles.
