I think Tommy D turned me onto Scott, he's rewound a couple of old Emmons PUs, and the service and attention to detail are off the charts. When I told him I wanted that first old Emmons PU rewound, it ...

Hey Herb, I'm currently going through many of the same things you mentioned in your original post. I also tried Hearing Aids on-stage, and they do something really weird to the high end that I can't h ...

PSA for those that haven't yet read it. You can get it here, or on Amazon. Well worth the read for sure.

I spoke with him a couple of months ago, and he was having some vision issues that he's working through, otherwise doing well. I haven't heard any updates, but I'm hoping he got all that sorted out. ...

Looks metal to me - but yea, plastic knobs that just push on, don't see any set screws. Who knows - judging by the cobwebs and wear on this thing it's had a lot of lives.

I'm not sure what year they quit making them, but definitely up into the 80's. The 80's serial number plates looked more like this, so you may have a mixed vintage amp, i.e. pieces from different year ...

FWIW, without photos of the front of the amp I'm not 100% sure, but that serial number, serial number plate, and the old-style tolex vinyl indicates that it's more likely a '75 Session 400, which IMO ...

I have installed several of Dean Chances' changers on wrap's, bolt on's and cut tails. I think they are tops and made a difference.

UPDATE:
After a couple of days using this guitar around the house for some recording, I've decided to keep it. My wife told me I'll regret it if I trade it off (she's heard my seller's remorse before ...

I'm still using my old ACE (Hammondsport, N.Y.) seat I bought back in the 1970's.

Scott did a rewind on an old Emmons PU for me. He was great. He asked a lot of questions about what I wanted to be sure he hit the target, and he did. Quick service, smart guy, highly recommended.

An added bonus is that you can master with it too.

I've used Studio One for quite a while, and like Rick and some others have said, it seems to work like I think.

Another good one Rick!!! Move to Austin (... or wait, maybe somewhere just 'kinda close', I wouldn't wish living in Austin on anyone I like.. LOL) and I'll keep you busy! Awesome job, as always.

I had a pickup go 'weird' on my '66 bolt-on, it was 'working', but really bright, and when I measured it, the meter showed open, no continuity.

Some players actually like that slight roll off of the high end that occurs when you back off the volume on a pot pedal. It's not necessarily a bad thing. As Nick mentioned, it's a bit variable depend ...
