Maybe try spraying some contact cleaner (Detoxit) into the pot. If that temporarily solves it, it has to be the pot again. I installed a new pot into my ShoBud pedal a few years ago and it had a very ...

I had to dismantle and clean both of my MSA U12's (1975 and 1976) a few years ago. I replaced the springs with slightly lighter ones. Complete overhauls. They play better and sound better than they ev ...

Chao, the only part of my hand that touches the strings is the end of my picks, stretched out pinky finger and my palm. Brian is showing the more proper position. The tip of my pinky stays down and li ...

As Dave said. It looks like it does need a little needle nose plier work on the open end of the picks to get them tighter on top. I don't see the pinky finger out and that may change the cup of the ha ...

Sounds like problem solved. Good news!

I just looked at my LKL stop. If the threads are stripped out of the stop, you could also use a little longer allen screw and add a nut to the other side.

I've never had a problem with the stops slipping. I've bought some used parts over the years and found some of the allen wrench heads stripped out, likely from someone using too small or metric allen ...

I forgot about mentioning the pick shape that Brian mentioned. When I started playing "decades ago" I kept reshaping my picks as time went on. I eventually ended up with them at nearly 90 de ...

Nashville 400:
Low: 60 Hz
Shift: 150 - 1500 Hz
High: 2000 Hz
Presence: 5000 Hz

Nashville 112

Shift: 300 - 1000 Hz
High: 2000 Hz
Presence: 8000 Hz

I"m trying to picture your hand from your discription? When you say middle finger, is it the finger next to your pinky finger? If so, it sounds like you need to curl that finger under your palm? ...

1970's Session 400 and LTD:
Low = 50Hz boost or cut
Shift = 300 - 1000Hz Left to right
Mid = boost or cut the frequency selected by the Shift

Presence = 8000 Hz

I used a MXR DynaComp in the 80's. It quit on me and I bought the reissue. Serving me well with my other rack gear.

Donation will be sent to the forum soon. Waiting for a couple more selling. I have 5 more holders to apply lacquer and will be available.

I'm guessing the Molex connectors need to be pulled, crimped and plugged back in. It could also need the two filter caps replaced. When it does it again, use your fist and come down on top of the cabi ...

I'm not sure if I'm following you correctly, but it sounds like you just need a LKR adjustment to bring the lever to the left a little more? Maybe, post a picture of the underside of your guitar. I'm ...

Jim, I wonder if Fender experimented with applying formica to the back of a Tele?

Also, my late father hand built a single 12 string steel using oak for the body and neck. It has ultimate sustain, but yikes, is it heavy!

I don't believe that mica vs wood has any drastic difference in tone or sustain. The same goes with metal vs wood necks. Buddy Emmons experimented with wood neck vs metal neck and the only difference ...

Very practical and the Walnut varies in color. These are probably more useful to a single neck guitar that has no place to put the bar, picks and tuner wrench. However, to preserve the finish coats on ...

Revelation Tube Preamp is also good choice.
Another good pedal pramp is the MXR M80.

I don't think there were many of the Session 400 heads produced? Definitely a keeper.

I bought a 712 for one of my MSA U-12 guitars. The highs were terribly thin and had a raspy sound on the two smallest strings. I lowered the pickup all the way down on the neck and results were the sa ...
