Tom,

I remember your Stringmaster/Supro! That was well done.

Budget is the obstacle. $600 for a Lollar horseshoe is a lot of dough right now for a pickup.

But you are right - it is do-able.

Here ya go.

I assumed that 80/20 bronze strings are used on an acoustic Dobro. I do not play a Dobro but I had to choose something.

Humm. Maybe a double 8 with one neck setup like a Stringmaster & the other neck with a Lollar Rick Horseshoe.

I'll put it on the To Do List as something to think about. A "Rickmaster&quo ...

I use (L2H) G B D E G B for 6 string and for 7 string I use (L2H) G B D E G B D.

Likewise my A6 is (L2H) A C# E F# A C#. It's the basic C6 tuned down to A then to G. I like to keep it simple.

If the JBL was a factory speaker for the '80s Session 400, I'd call Peavey service (877-732-8391) and ask if they repair the JBL.

If not a factory OEM part, then email JBL at

I agree with Jerry. It looks like a bass cab to me.

I needed a bass cab around 1998ish and I went to Peavey dealer and IIRC he had 3 options: 2 x 10, 2 x 12, and 1 x 15. All were ported. I op ...

Check the polarity of the pickup magnets to make sure they are not out of phase.
