My Rivera did a weird thing yesterday and I am hoping someone here can tell me what to do. I am thinking I need to replace the tubes (they are original and the amp has been discontinued for years!) Anyway, I plugged into channel 2, which is the "Fender" channel, set clean and was using a...

Some of you might remember me posting about a place to fix my friends boogie. Anyway, the guy had his amp for like 3 weeks to replace the tubes and give it a general cleaning and to fix the reverb. That amp hadn't been serviced ever and is pretty old so everything was pretty much routine...

How hard is it for a complete novie to remove a nut, install a new one and get it setup properly?

Does anybody know any amp tech's in NJ that are any good, especially with MESA amps?

Do I have to drill any additional holes on my LPC if I want to add Sperzel or Schaller locking tuners?

Is it me of is this insane? This is what I was quoted from a certain place in NYC. Keep in mind, that this is only the labor charge. No nut work included, no strings. I am not even sure a setup was included, as I went into shock when I heard this. At this point the highest price that I had...

Ever since I got this Strat from Marshallhead, I haven't been able to put it down. I broke my soundcard awhile ago and recently installed the Audigy 2 Platinum. Unfortuneately I haven't been able to mess with it due to work and school. Today, I had a chance to record something and decided to...

I finally soldered something all by myself. I feel like such a big boy now :lol2 All I hear on this board is swapping these pots, these pups, this, that and the other thing. Well, now I am a part of the club. I didn't install pups or anything though. I installed a Dimarzio shockwave preamp...

I want to learn how to solder and start swapping pups and such. My first question is what kind of soldering gun and other equipment do I need? Should I get a variable soldering pencil that does like 5w-30w or is a 30 w pencil enough(or too much)? Also what kind of solder do I get? Rosin...

I sort of asked this in the computer thread in the off topic section, but have either of you heard about the Sound Blaster Audigy 2Platinum? Do you think it would be an acceptable card for home recording. I want good sound and no or extremely low latency. The actual specs of the card sound...

Marshall amp gig bag I saw this on the PRS forum and thought that someone here might appreciate it. http://www.sasnet.com/marshall/ I can't get the pic to work, but needless to say, it is like a rack bag designed for a full size tube head, and it is on well with a handle. It looks like...

:yah

Anyone have any experience with this? It is apparantley a PCI card with built in plugins and processing power so that you computer doesn't get overworked. Listen to the MP3s for Nigel. Is it me or does that sound great, especially when considering that there is nothing but computer and...

I just want to say that I sat down for the first time to mess with Sonar on my computer. A guy on another forum wanted to hear the piezo on my Tom Anderson Cobra, so I figured I would give it a try. Here is what I did. The acoustic rythm track is the piezo straight into my sound card, with no...

How much are these speakers worth? What do they cost new vs used?
