I’m a little sketched about this and need some advice. The mounting holes are almost kinda exactly 13.5 inches on center (actually 9/16 or 14mm in from the edge, not 1/2”, sadly) and the chassis is 14.5. It looks wayyyy to close to the round over to even think about drilling there, much less...

I have mapped out my p2p project in diylc and drill drilled out an aluminum chassis. I know it's not the ideal chassis to do this in, but I'm going for it anyway, partly because I can't really build a cab to fit a hammond chassis, and partly because everyone builds them with a board and I wanted...

Does anyone have any idea what this thing is? http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5338148343&icep_item=202766583639

Having a little trouble deciding what I should go with to upgrade an 85 MIJ Strat. I want close to SC vintage tone as possible with a bit more bite. I’m also wondering if people Who have Dimarzios have gone with a straight set of Areas or a mixed set. Lastly, any thought on using 500k pots due...

I'm working on designing some control panels on Front Panel Designer because I can't live with the shame of my inkjet printed decals anymore. Can someone give me the thickness of a Fender control panel and a Plexiglass style panel? Also the corner radii of a Fender panel?

I don’t really like to make a big deal out of finding things, but I kind of have to in this case. For background, I’ve been looking for one of these for ages, although w the standard tremolo, and I’ve watched the prices get ridiculous. I actually won one on eBay but we cancelled the sale...

Look at these things. Is it just me?

So I picked up what seems to be anyway a 67-68 Bassman. I looked at the chassis briefly before buying, saw that some basic maintenance had been done. When I got home I realized there were lots of incorrect values, some strange parts, and some basic mistakes such as a virtual center tap when...

Well, here it is. Been wanting a 4x12 in this color scheme for a while, so when I couldn’t really find the Marshall green/black tolex that seemed genuine enough I went for this. Interestingly, with the chassis on my bench plugged into a 65 watt creamback in a closed cab a few feet away It...

Alrighty here it is. Only my second build. Fired up w zero problems on my variac and has creamy hiss with both volumes cranked and nothing plugged in. Ran into a couple hassles along the way but nothing major.

Is there a huge difference in hum reduction or any other benefit to wiring the 6 volt tap to say a power tube, then to the pilot light, instead of just wiring the tap to the pilot light first? Thanks!

Or a really good cry. I think even old Uncle Doug would have to pass on this "gem" http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&toolid=10001&campid=5338148343&icep_item=223977905749

I picked one about 6 months ago, and I'm sure most people here know that the speed knob doesn't do anything for almost the first half of it's sweep. I've never modded a pedal before, any tweaks to make the thing semi-useful? I seem to have a lot of time on my hands lately. Thanks!

The guitar I've been wanting (well, one of them) for a couple years is on eBay and it does have a crack in the top from the bridge and all the way back. I wondering if anyone has a general idea what the repair would cost to figure it in to my bid.

I got a non-functioning Princeton Chorus w 2x10's for 50 bucks with the notion of gutting it. The inner dimensions is 20 3/4 so neither a Regualr Princeton chassis or say a Deluxe Reverb chassis will fit. I have a buddy in Colorado who is a welder who I could get to plasma cut a chassis down...

If an acutonics tank measures 177 ohms at the output but only .6 ohms at the input, would that indicate a problem with the tank? The cables check fine and the voltages on my drive and return tubes look kosher. I'm not getting any reverb but when I plug the tank into the back of the amp re-built...

This is what I came home to this evening: I said to myself, “I don’t believe it. He shipped it the display box.” Yeah well, he did. Dead mint, brand new, destroyed. *sigh*

Dead original except for the preamp tubes. The cab is flawless as well. Pretty stoked.

Just a quick question that I think I already know the answer to: So I've been plugging my Tele directly into my new interface, and while inspecting/documenting the innards of my Friedman Smallbox this am I realized it had a line out. If I use this to plug into the Focusrite w a 1/4 inch TRS...

I went to put my new WGS 8” in my SF Champ and the Holes didn’t line up. What gives? Should I have smashed it with a hammer?

I'm looking at the Fender website, and it lists pine as the body material for the '50's Classic Vibe Strats. But on GC's website it has one (Sherwood Green w matching headstock) listed as having an alder body. What gives?

I'd like to be able to do some relatively silent recording in my apartment. I plan on getting a PC w at least 16GB Ram and 500gb or 1T of disc space. I have some experience with Presonus interface, micing drum kits and laying tracks, mixing etc. I'd like to get at least an 8 xlr interface in...

I didn't want to post any pictures of my horrific can capacitor solder joints on my Vibro champ, and I didn't want to button the amp up until it was done correctly. I had run out to the hardware store to get the standard Weller 100/140 watt gun in the middle of the project and the pictures show...

I've done a bunch of work on this little VC I got. Replaced the filter cap, electrolytic and tone caps, swapped out a noisy preamp tube, put a new Tung-sol 6v6 in, tightened the pin sockets and loose power switch, cleaned all the pots and jacks, clipped the death cap, re-flowed some solder...

I've been going thru the SF Vibro champ I got while waiting for parts. Glued down some loose tolex, cleaned the pots and jacks, and re-tensioned the pin sockets which were super loose. I found out last night that some of the solder tags on the wiring side of the sockets were a bit wiggly as...
