    There is a version of the OLP that was VT(hi) T(lo) - I had one. No idea how it was wired. G.

    It's not just the caps, it's also the inductor. If it doesn't have the inductor then it's only a glorified tone control. With the inductor it keeps some of the highs & becomes a mids-notch filter. [url="http://alexplorer.net/guitar/mods/varitone.html"]http://alexplorer.net/guitar/mods/varitone.html[/url] G.

    FYI Now that Apple computers use the same type of CPU as PCs, a virus written in machine code could (theoritically) run on either. Nothing to do with the current operating system. Use of proper firewalls, virus detection (as in Common Sense) would largely prevent this. G.

    Teacups & storms spring to mind. Ellie's got oodles of talent. She's getting a bit of return for doing something a little bit commercial. Just rewards. God bless her cotton socks & more power to her elbow. Geoff

    PartySounds has been most successful for me. G.

    I do the odd (very!) lead vocal while playing bass - I can play a boogie bass & sing "Just Seventeen", but it's pretty much my party trick. I can do about 3 more, but f I'm going to do some serious lead vocals, I'll switch to 6 string & give the bass to the other guitarist. G.

    The shielding should be earthed anyway, otherwise it doesn't work. Google 'Faraday Cage'. G.

    A DiMarzio J wired in series (internally) - if taht's too much for you, change the wiring to parallel. G.

    [quote name='Ancient Mariner' post='1048374' date='Dec 5 2010, 04:26 PM']How acoustically loud is the jazz box? I have a friend who wants an acoustic guitar, and is on a tight budget - this might be a better option than something truly acoustic.[/quote] It's about as loud (with flats on) as my APX4 with the feedback-buster on the central hole. It'd sound louder with bright roundwounds on. Not primarily an acoustic, but might work. Action is very low on this. Great for rhythm work. Don't have a pic, but it's unmarked & identical to this (see pics above too!)

    [quote name='Jean-Luc Pickguard' post='1048233' date='Dec 5 2010, 02:08 PM']I used to have a small Trace Elliot Commando combo which was a lot heavier than it looked. I fitted something like this to it: [url="http://www.terralec.co.uk/handles/removable_case_trolley/16420_p.html"]http://www.terralec.co.uk/handles/removabl...ey/16420_p.html[/url] [/quote] That's what's fitted to the Ampeg Portabass cabs. Works ok for some things, but wheels are too small for rough floors. G.

    Will put up pics tomorrow - today is turning out to be chaos! G.

    I have a pair of general purpose rack ears I used to mount my Ashdown MAG400 for a while. They are no longer used. PM me if you're interested.. G.

    Ibanez Promethean? G.

    The J pickup-pair are humbucking when both on together. Turning one off should introduce buzz (if there is any around). However, a P wired properly ought to be 'bucking too. Check your earthing. G.

    Is it just me, or does the pickup look out of plumb in that pic? G.

    DRs. G.

    If you have the compression enabled, try turning it off. Set up a patch with flat EQ. Otherwise I have no idea. G.

    I have a Yamaha Drop 6 which has a 26.5" scale. Currently I have 15 - 72s on it & it's tuned to BEADF#B. Sounds just fine. I think to get low E you'd need to put pretty hefty strings on it & I don't know if the bridge (Floyd) would have enough throw on the saddle to intonate properly. This, too, could be for sale. G.

    [quote name='silddx' post='1033385' date='Nov 22 2010, 11:29 PM']sh*t, I bought one and was going to install it on my Electra build but decided against it. How am I going to sell it on here now [/quote] If it's a doubler (18V) I'll have it...... G.
