Nice...I've haven't been using my 6xEL34 Partridge Sound City much lately but they're great amps.

I would love to rip on one of those someday

I've got fucking loads of them, if you can organise shipping, can sell ya a fixer. Probably be cheaper to buy a fixer in the States, if you can find one. I'm in no rush to sell mine.

Edit: If its the iron and 6 EL34 power section part you are after, I'll sell a somewhat bodged PA for cheap, I only got it to rob the knobs and valves from it for fixing other ones, turns out most of the power valves were too tired to be worth dicking with anyway.

fark i assume your in the UK then. How much would you sell one?

Mr. Foxen · January 18, 2012, 02:28:44 PM

Yeah, in the UK, I have put my location in, but it doesn't show anywhere.

My new bass came yesterday, custom build from Drake Custom Bass:

Nice bass Corey. Cool design and very pretty.

Mr. Foxen · January 30, 2012, 01:45:22 PM

Well this delivery didn't go so well:

100w KT88 PA with exploded filter cap:

Turns out the gold lion marking wipes off just as easily as dirt. Fucksake.

Jesus, Foxen. I'd say that Mr. UPS Man owes you an apology and some restituion!

Scored a great deal on a triad of Gibson Classic 57 pickups for my '77 Custom yesterday.
Since they are newer pickups, I gave them a gentle relic to better match the other gold hardware.

Are middle pos humbuckers usable? If so, how would you describe the tone?

VOLVO))) · January 31, 2012, 02:14:59 PM

Sucks, Oli!

Yes, I think so. The way they are typcially wired, the bridge and middle are both active with the toggle switch in the middle position. I think I'm going to wire it differently than that, but haven't yet decided. There appear to be tons of pretty cool ways to wire these up.

Nice restoration! What were the p/us ya pulled out? Dimarzio Super Ds?

mortlock · January 31, 2012, 11:27:06 PM

a couple of synths i just added to the noise arsenel..

Picked up a cheap guitar to set up in open E for slide:

Epi LP Jr. with upgraded tuners (Grovers), Gibson P-94 p/u, Gibson pots, gold-plated jack & gold tophat knobs: $150.

Her name's Bertha Bolt-on. She's a real screamer.

Kinda like a strap-on but more robust?

Picked up a Jackson JS32T Rhoads today on craigslist.
It's going to be a complete makeover guitar for my site.
Plus I've never owned a shredder - I don't shred.

RacerX · February 01, 2012, 12:44:26 AM

It's a reference to her neck.

Have fun w/ the Jackson!

Yeah I know. Just making fun.

Thanks.

Got this for my first guitar build. I guess we'll see how it goes when I can pony up the dough for the rest of her.

Just done recapping and generally sorting out a dead SC200. Just fired it up see how it worked out, The only thing is the switch was wired slightly wrong so the lamp tells you it is in standby lights when its off, easy fix, but aside from that, good to go after a proper biasing:
