The coiled wire fuses are typical of slow-blow designs and such fuses are generally intended to withstand the in-rush current during switch-on of the amp. It will do no harm to to use a fast-blow fuse, but you'll probably find it will blow after a few on-off cycles, perhaps the first one if you're unlucky, but it might get you out of an emergency situation.[/quote] It says timed on the packet, and they are advertised on flea bay as time delay on 1 seller and sloblo timed on another

I need to replace a 3 amp fuse in the back of one of my amps The current one is 3a [slow blow] which has a little coil and then the fuse wire. I have some 3.15a timed fuses which just look like an ordinary fuses without the coil. Are these the same thing?

I generally use Ernie Ball and Thomastik Jazz flats but I can only vote for 1

I copied this from a web page a while ago, never tried it but Hardware Aging Here's a great way to do the hardware: Get a thick plastic container, at least 12" x 12" inches square with a flat plastic lid. Drill small holes in the lid, spaced a couple inches apart. Get a bottle of Muratic acid. This is sold at all home depot/home base, supply type stores. Get a nice respirator with good vapor filters and a place with lot's of ventilation cos' it stinks! Pour 1 or 2 inches of muratic acid [think this is hydrochloric acid]in the bottom of the container and cover with the lid. Arrange the hardware on top of the lid, without any parts touching, screws touching are OK. Cover entire bucket tightly with black plastic trash bag. Leave overnight for aging and check in the morning to see how things are progressing. You can pull a part out and wipe off to see how the aging is going. Make sure you use nice rubber gloves. Leave in longer if more aging is desired. When the parts are done, pull them out and rinse off with soapy water. Make sure you oil any moving parts, like the bridge pieces,screws and tuners otherwise they might freeze up.

i have a mix of lindy fralin, wizard thumper and a jason lollar. they are all slightly different, but I find the best is the lollar TBH I always thought there was an element of snake oil in the really expensive picks ups but the lollar [which i got here from delberthot] is great

Im pretty pissed off Chris posted this, its obviously going to attract a lot of interest and hence drive up the price

It says its been tried by a profesional bass player to make sure it works, it doesnt say what his opinion was Urghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Hi and Welcome

And another welcome

Nice to meet you Saw the stranglers a few weeks ago at weyfest. JJB had 4 4x10s and a big amp Rack and his shuker. In contrast, Jim Rodford in the Zombies before had a 1x12 combo on a keyboard stand

nice to meet you

I try, not always succesfully, to have an open mind about the music i play. Any hired muscian -Jamerson and Bob Babitt will play material written by other people. Why draw a halt at a tribute band, is it the dressing up that bothers you.
