A single cable from the head will carry ALL the current to the cabs. If it were Speakons I wouldn't worry but with Jack sockets I would rather split the current between the two. As OBBM says, if you have a cable or cab fail open circuit, you'd still get some sound from the other one.

They're ok until you break a string

Not played with any of the settings yet, but it seemed very jittery and didn't lock on to notes well for me (with bass). Any tips to make it work better? I use an old old TU12, and that's fine.

My introduction to Zappa was round at Jakko Jackzyk's (King Crimson) house,where he played me St. Alphonso's pancake breakfast off Apostrophe, and I was hooked. His band at the time sounded like that, so clearly a big influence (64 Spoons, if anyone remembers them...)

[quote name='blue' timestamp='1466134859' post='3073576'] Your dropped off at your assigned stage at least an hour before start time. The stage manager gives you all the particulars. Big dressing rooms, food and fun people. You do your 90 minutes and your off and the next act is up. My only concern is sound for the non headliners seems poor compared to the sound the 10:00pm headliner gets. Blue [/quote] What exactly do the "fun people" do ?

I like the Fishman pickups. My guitarist had a Rare earth which to my ears sounded more natural than piezos, but not as bright at the top end. It had some sort of pre-amp with a tiny volume control that mounted discretely inside the sound hole. I've got a Neo D in my parlour guitar which again sounds nice, but the output from it is really quite low compared to a normal electric guitar pickup.

Dimmers will emit more interference when they are dimming than when fully on if it's an old school triac based one.

Ah, the Tom Jones truss rod nut.

I actually contacted them already. They want £105 for one. Seems a lot for a pretty ordinary mini humbucker. I think you can get them for about 75 bucks in the States

I take it the SG11 wasn't that colour originally? I've got one from that era - very lightweight thin body and those nice mini humbuckers.

Good job on KC! I've been trying this for ages and not got anywhere near as fluent as that.

Could be one rail of the power supply gone. Have a look for any fuses internal, mounted on the PCB(S) and see if any have gone. Usual warnings about poking around inside gear apply - Unplug from mains etc.

Thanks ez. For the time being, I've just wired it single coil and it sounds just fine, so, unless the owner really wants to replace it, I'll leave it like that.

Posted on the guitars page but thought I might get better visibility here. Humbucker on a 650 has one coil open circuit. They appear to be potted too. Do Ric sell replacements or can they be rewound? Any useful advice welcomed. Guitar belongs to an acquaintance who bought it on a drunken whim about 7 years ago and has just dug it out again! Cheers MBA

Looking at a 650 for a friend. One of the coils is open circuit. It looks like it is potted. Can you buy replacements or get these rewound? For the time being I'll probably wire it up single coil - better than nothing eh?

I use a BF super midget all the time with a shuttle 6 in a 3-piece, more than loud enough. The only time I've used 2 cabs recently was using the little Ashdown 15w valve jobbie, and that was loud enough onstage too, just. We always have p.a. support at the gigs we do round Oxford.

You could plug into a desk or recording gizmo and do it by matching the levels on the meters. That should get you close enough, especially if they have peak hold.

ooH, where are Vulfpeck playing?

Miracle Legion at the Jericho, Oxford Fri 3rd. They are doing a few UK gigs as a duo. We are doing a support as a late stand-in. I must admit I hadn't really heard of them, but they're good, in an R.E.M vein, and have been going about as long too!

BassChat wins again!

If you do get it out, I've got a bunch of metric (I assume the CVs would be metric) stainless grub screws you could replace them with. Got them from work surplus to requirements. They were going to bin them!

I love the sound as a tonal accent. If you use it all the time it isn't an accent....
