Dad3353 has nailed the description of the ampjack. Besides the 6mm jack input it has two 3.5mm sockets. One for mp3 in and one for headphones out this enables you to play to your mp3 input whilst mixing the levels of each whilst being the only one hearing it due to the headphones. So the rumble is normal - quiet - without a lead plugged in. Turn vol up to 10 - full - and you hear a quiet hiss, overdrive button in and a small thud on, and one when turning it off. Plug a lead in and the Buzz starts. Increases with a turn of the vol, and again when switching overdrive on and off you can tell somethings getting amplified. Touch the tip of the other end of the lead and a massive buzz can be heard even at low volume. Connect the casady and it's the same as touching the tip of the lead. Plug in the Ibanez with fresh batteries and whilst there's no Buzz, you've really got to crank the vol up just to get to hear it a little. The second input socket gives the same results.

Hope this is ok here couldn't see a troubleshooting forum. You could say I'm a newbie which explains my naivety in this area. Had this Jack Casady couple of years now and a fender rumble 75 about three. Just like learning riffs at home so nothing serious. Anyway, kit was fine the other day until I had a break, then when I came back to it literally 5 mins later I couldn't get any guitar out of the amp only really loud buzzing even at relatively low volume settings. So I thought lead. Tried another lead, still the same. Tried the Ibanez AE8, nothing. Tried an ampjack, still the same, nothing no buzzing though. So removed the Epiphone's jack socket and all appeared good. That's where I'm stumped. How can it be the amp when it's the same with the ampjack? How can it be the guitar when it's the same with another? Can anyone help? Preferably from experience. Cheers.

I'm looking at a dealers website that says the white LTD Ed one has a mahogany body and top, and the gold signature one has a maple body and top. Anyone shed any light on this? And are the white ones old stock?

[quote name='Chownybass' timestamp='1460274813' post='3024147'] Hello! Yeah - a few things about 5 strings. Firstly, they really aren't practical on the short scale version. The tension on the strings is probably too low and the Low B would sound like noise, which leaves high C as your other option. I've started looking into the possibility of a 5 string 34" Scale Version, and yes it would require a lot of prototyping. For starters I'd probably have to change the bridge plate, because it doesn't come in a 5 string version. So it'd be a very different spec. The other thing that gives me pause is that as a small company having a lot of stock variation means having to hold a lot more stock. So if I do it at all, it'll be in a limited colour choice - which is what I'm doing on the fretless shorty that I'm busy prototyping. Ultimately - if there's enough demand for something - I will do it. So make sure to let me know if there's something you're interested in.

Hi there. I'm new here and have been playing again for about a year after giving up in 1988. Thing is, I'm hankering after a semi hollow but which one? Coronado 2, Starfire, Jack Casady, or Chowney? Or is there something else within that price range. Thanks in advance.
