I live in downtown Seattle and my apartment sits between two hills which both have huge radio antennas. As a result, both of my Marshall amps pick up National Public Radio as if they were radios and not guitar amps. Would a good power conditioner help get rid of the interference? Is there any solution that costs less than $200.00? Any help would be greatly appreciated. By the way my guitars are completley shielded and I'm using high quality cables, so at this point I really need to find a way to eliminate the RF interference from the amps ASAP.

Hi All,

Got a used bargain-price amp a few days ago. For about 90 US$, the used-dealer thought it was solid-state. A discontinued Hughesamp;Kettner quot;Studio 84quot; amp (AKA quot;Tube 20quot;) HOWEVER
When i play bassy notes a bit louder (clean or dirty) I hear an amplified glass rattling sound. I've read that the taller EL84 are prone to rattle. Even with the amp off, if i give a little knock on the top, i can hear the sound of glass (kinda like a tray-full of empty drinking classes being carried down the hall)

After all this time wrestling with my V-amp and my Fender 650 (which is one heck of a good box, but just not working too well with the v-amp), I tried plugging my blue thing into the crummy little marshall MG15 DFX I got along with my guitar. And it sounded good - the V-amp sounds warmer, and the crunchy models sound good after they're quot;Marshallisedquot; a bit.

O.K............I AM the one TGWIF was talking about getting the custom built guitar.

I'm considering letting go of this speaker cab. I used to have a Zinky MOFO head, but sold it and I don't use the cab for anything. Would anyone be interested in buying it? It is in great used shape, works perfectly, and the sound just kills. I can provide pics if someone is interested. I am thinking $250 shipping is a fair price. For what it's worth, you can check out reviews at Harmony Central and read about the cab on the Zinky site:

which ONE do you like on these clips?

Can the wax for repotting pickups be found at the hardware store? Is it parafin wax?

This is probably a pointless post to many of you but I just thought I'd share it anyway. Everyone always says that EMG's usually make guitars sound the same.

Just out of curiosity... do the nickel or brass covers on the HB pups make a sound difference, or are they just for looks? If they do make a sound difference... what is it?

hey guys, i have got me a Laney VC 30 112 tube amp, it comes with a 'preimium' ECC83 pre amp, and some Premium EL84's.
I mean she sounds nice, but iknow she can sound better. What would be the way to go from here, some JJ tubes?? Also thinking about some groove tubes aswell. Money isnt really an issue with tubes.

So I got my Charvel traditional the other day and was very dissapointed. First, one of the strings was broken, it did not come with a trem bar, and the set-up was terrible. I bought it from AMS, who I have always had great luck with, and normally would of returned it for a new one, but it was their only one. I'm thinking that the guitar showed up in a warehouse somewhere, and was shipped to AMS for sale. I think this because that guitar has not been available for some time now. Anyway, I took it to my local shop for a set-up, and when I picked it up, the guy told me it has issues. The neck has a flip in it, and needs at least a grind and polish to fix it. I'm sure that I can get done under warrenty, but I do not think I am. I'm probably just going to send it back. I would still like another floyd guitar to mess around with. I saw those OLP MM1's on AMS. For what I paid for the Charvel, I could get an MM1, plus totally upgrade it with new pups, fret polish, setup, whatever. Has anyone played one or have any opinions on that, or even the Charvel for that matter?

Howdy people,
I've got a 65 Mustang (stock) and a pair of JB junior - little 59 p'ups I got off ebay that have been sitting around. Does anyone recommend this combo? They were originally meant to go on a different guitar, but that fell through. Now I'm tempted to throw em in to see what they'll do to my Mustang. If so, I was thinking JB in the bridge, and little 59 in the neck.... I hope someone knows about this setup!!

I just heard the clip on Musiciansfriend and WOW... With my full shred I think I'll love the tone through the AOR (which unfortunately I have yet to get But wednesday I should have it)
I was thinking of also using that pedal as another channel. I could get a cheap boost (I'll build a microamp) and also use the ProCo Rat 2... Damn it seems really sweet. Has anyone got experience with it? Who can tell me more about it?

Hi all,

hey bros,

Hi gang,
I got an old Yamaha bass with SD P-bass pickups that has a little switch bank with 2 dipswitches. Can anyone tell me what are these for? Thanks.

What do you think is a fair price for a used (assume good condition) Roland Jazz Chorus 120?

yup, lucky number 13 and it's oh so fitting for the guitar...2001 Fender Iron Maiden signature strat in like new condition! i've wanted one since '01 when they came out and the only year they made them but i never found a clean one for sale at a good price. before i found this one i almost bought one at a dealer for more money and it has some buckle rash...then i found this flawless one for $300 less than that other dealer wanted so i dove on it! the only thing i'm a bit upset about is the previous owner changed the pickguard from mirror to black mother of pearl but that's ok, i already ordered a new mirror guard to replace this on and bring it back to it's killer stock glory (yeah, odd for me...stock hehe). anyway, enough babble here she is....and man does it play nice!!-Mike

I just got a very cool mid 60s Multivox bass combo. Amp has tons of promise, but has a new EF86 in it that is buzzy. I know the old ones are spendy, but it is worth it to find one. I really like a lot of what that tube does. Any recomendations? Or better yet, anyone have an extra they might sell?
