Jimbo; the Ampeg is a Portabass250. I still use it for bass lots of the time.
It is a combo amp, and the first owner had it back when neo speakers were not as common as now.

Thinking about cutting down my homebrew twin cabinet. Got two tens in it, and can still barely pick it up. Twin is a wonderful amp, but if you get in a situation where the stage volume is out of contr ...

Bud's link is great. Played it in the background yesterday. Managed to get a couple of hours recorded, but even though the sound is wonderful, it's already been compressed to mp3, so careful how you d ...

Thanks Jim. Got it all tightened up.
Thread can close up now!
Thanks, Riley.

Hey all! My u12 has the e lowers and 2nd string lowers on RKL. Gets a lot of use. Last night when I packed the guitar I noticed a bit of looseness where the lever attaches to the cross bar. Don't see ...

This may not be totally correct, but one test I conducted on the cleartune app resulted in this outcome;

To have your high G and D 'and' B re-entrants is almost decadent!

Does anybody have one of these plates? Or any ideas how to repair? Perhaps notch the fingers so the adjusters cannot slip up the curved surface on the rear of the fingers that the plate seems to stop ...

Reese Anderson recorded a nice version on Dave Alexander-Legends of Western Swing.

Tks Lane! Got the blank chart sitting there waiting!

Thanks for the suggestion Earnest. Might have been making this harder than it needs to be. My major source of confusion is that my guitar is tuned open to C6 intervals and e9/b6 is tuned open to e9 in ...

Okay. So i decided to move my tuning down to A6/D9(from my initial Bb6/Eb9 setup) to avoid the difficulties in transpositions and to get more useful open notes playing with my band, who is mostly in s ...

Thanks for the link! Very enjoyable listening!

Makes sense to me I guess. Thanks Lane. I am trying to talk myself out of spending the money on a StroboPlus! Not that i can see how that would help, lther than combining different values for the same ...

Maybe a stupid question but;

I was using a custom C6 temperament in cleartune for my D10, and also a custom E9. No problems, they got me close, but now I seem to be having some problems deciding w ...

So for now i settled on Bb6/Eb9, with the top chromatic tuned to C and raised to a D with the same lever that raises my D's to Eb, RKL, and sacrificed the second(B) as relegated to the RKR. With addit ...

For the last year, I have become accustomed to playing this tuning on a 12 string non-pedal instrument. Certain all will recognize it as standard C6 with re-entrants on the top, D and B, and the lowes ...

Eddie transcends teaching a lick.
It's the entire basic approach to the tuning in 8 minutes or less!

Hi! I have a question relating to an Excel Superb D10 guitar. Looking at a left to right conversion. It seems that the whole guitar is built on one level, no raised front neck, and the cross rod holes ...

I am sorry this is ending up in about 10 minutes, but what a great show featuring our Herb Steiner playing on Guerin's Taco Bar Live on KDRP.
What kind of guitar are you playing?
Later, riley.

Sometimes it is difficult to find inspiration to practice, so I usually just end up playing scales(under such circumstance). A recording I made recently of Chuck Lettes at a small steel gathering has ...

More to echo what Mike said;
The traditional genres are still here, but the mass media and the industry are molding (and have been molding)what Americans listen to in terms of popularity. What is the ...
