My Jensen P12R 8 ohm 12' from my Blues Junior died and I was wandering if there is any reasonable way to fix it or should I just scrap it? Cosmetically it looks new, but it just doesn't work anymore when plugged in. It doesn't seem to be blown the way I have seen speakers blow in the past where you can push on the cone and get a scraping noise. If it where yours what would you do with it?

I've tried few Celestion speakers (vintage 30, greenback, 12G7 etc) but so far my favorite is Vintage Neodymium. It sounds bright (clarity), tight and articulate with less breakup. I think it's an ideal speaker for multi-channel amp because it stays clean way better than any other speakers I used without breaking up too early when clean channel is used. When dirty channel is selected and once it starts breakup, it breaks up like no other speakers and you get this articulate dirty sound with clarify, definition and warmth.
I use it in both of my combos (Traynor YCV40 1X12 and Chubster 55 1X12). The tonal improvment is significant! Also, the best part is the weight. You wouldn't believe how LIGHT it is. So my combos are very portable, which is a BIG PLUS if you gig out.

I've only a passing knowledge of Bill Lawrences various companies/pickups but my friend gave me a set of them (at least that's what I figure them to be...) to replace the stock pickups in my 80's Japanese strat.

So Christmas is just around the corner and I'm trying to decide on what to get my little brother. I was thinking a small amp, probably a Roland Micro Cube, along with a Monster guitar cable. He basically just has a Squire Bullet and that's it. No amp, cables or anything. He's been playing pretty much non-stop for the past 9 months or so and he's gotten rather good in that time. In that time he's been using my gear as well as my older brothers. I've noticed that he seems to be getting tired of his Squire, as he is always asking to use my guitars, as well as my brothers. So on that note I was thinking maybe upgrading the pickups on his guitar. I know the pickguard will need to be changed (I'm thinking of throwing in a Custom). I'm thinking I'll need to change the pots too. If I go this route the guitar will have a H/S/S config. Is there anything else I might need to swap out for the exchange and what pots should I use? I haven't been here in awhile so my brain has rotted and I've forgotten a few things.
Also, suggestions would be welcomed on which route to choose.

I really dig the sound of P-90s pups, but I'd like more output for playing metal, and the hum-cancelling of a humbucker is a plus (in a humbucker housing, of course). The Duncan Phat Cats and the DiMarzio Bluesbuckers seem cool, but is there anything else out there with more output that'll get me closer to what I like?

Anybody know what kind of gear they use? doesn't matter what album/tour or whatever, thanks in advance.

I need a Bridge Tele pickup, My neck pickup is STR-1 Vintage 54... The one that i need in bridge position should have the both worlds... twang of a tele and a strong sound when i need.. and i prefer it hum-canceling..

Hey guys.
Just checking to see how you guys like your Keeley TS9 Mod Plus. How does it compare to the stock version, and is there anything you don't like about it? Is the added low end noticeable compared to the stock version?

just wondering whoever has used one what they think of it? and if you could tell me some features and what were your favourite ones and what are the plus and minus sides to it i guess... i just want some info from people who have used it cause im thinking of getting one but yeah...and whats the recorder like?

can you give me some advice on the best tube distortion stomboxes out there that have high voltage running in their tubes and sound really greatamp;warm?

Hello all:

Recently I sold my Soldano to get a laptop PC. I was proud of myself.
Then, I hit hard by GAS and got this one.

Ok, swapping a magnet on a HB isn't such a problem, but what about a Single Coil? What would I need to do to change the polarity from north to south? Is it possible to to that?

i want one that will give me effects without shaping my guitar and amp tone.. and one that i can plug into a MIDI board so i can switch the amp and rack unit channels at the same time. and if it has a good chorus sound thats even better.. what are your guys' suggestions?

I've been looking at some Warmoth trems, and I just have a quick question. The vintage Fender trem has six screws, the standard (or modern) one has 2. Having only 2 screws is said to improve performance, so why would people still want the old 6-screw version? Is it for the vintage appeal/aesthetic? Are there any functional superiorities that I've missed? Does it sound any better?

I must say this is my first amp. I was looking for something portable, maybe like a Smokey, but my music store didn't stock antything of the kind and there are somethings they can't order. They used to have the mini Marshal but that is no longer sent to Portugal.

Is it possible too put banjo or bouzouki strings on a acoustic guitar? Are the strings too short/long or will they fit? Has anybody tried this? Do i have too adjust my neck? Do i have to make a new saddle and/or nut?

I do repair work for some of my friends, and right now I've got about 3 different projects lined up.

i know rondomusic.com used to carry a copy. i'm looking for any strat with this style bridge. you guys know of any?
