My 1975 (not RI) My souped up Geddy

My power amp has a low level buzz/noise (on both channels) that is inaudible when playing through it but is irritatingly obvious when not. I have had a trusted engineer friend look at it, he cleaned the board and pots but there is no obvious component failure. Any idea? Cheers Dave

Good hunting on your neck quest.[/quote] I put the quality of the finish purely down to Dave Wilson (75Jazz) and Im thinking of a WD neck which are only £99 new.

[quote name='gary mac' post='1160110' date='Mar 13 2011, 04:01 AM']Thanks Nick. Yes it did turn out well, I want to do another now, probably a 70's jobbie.[/quote] Turned out well is a bit of an understatement mate its gorgeous And a 70s "jobbie", is that one of those very dry white ones found in the parks of your youth?

The only tasteful and really functional slap i can think of.

[quote name='Bilbo' post='1152444' date='Mar 7 2011, 01:16 PM']The amount of arts funding for jazz is derisory, despite it having the same size audience as Opera, which gets millions in funding.[/quote] I agree Opera gets a disproportionate amount of funding, but it still doesn't make the funding of Jazz over rock and pop acceptable. Music is made for audience appreciation and as the public ultimately pay the funding through taxes then should the most popular not get the biggest share of the pot, ie rock and pop? I cant tell you the amount of gigs Ive played where we have re arranged a cover, extended solos sections or played something obscure by an artist only to be treated to silence at the end followed by "Play one we know." You have to play what the audience or bar manager wants otherwise you dont work.

[quote name='Bilbo' post='1152283' date='Mar 7 2011, 10:28 AM']I struggle to get past the idea that playing other people's stuff the way they played it is just pretending - one step up from a tennis racquet in front of the mirror. Tribute bands are just like taking the tennis racquet out in public - [/quote] Surely its all about what the audience are expecting/wanting/willing to pay for? after all I play bass in a band to entertain an audience if i wanted to self pleasure i would lock the bathroom door But as you mentioned earlier its all about entertainment. If the audiences for Jazz and classical gigs were not so heavily subsidised by arts funding in general (in comparison to rock and pop) then Im sure the "more entertaining" music would be self sustaining? I would also love the MU to fund my annual salary (as per local sinphonias) so I could play a handful of gigs a year and rehearse but unfortunately they dont so as a working musician I have to make the choice of playing music to earn a living or not.

Just incase you have an old bike chain lying around the roller element of a segment makes the prefect washer, they fit over truss rods and are nice and wide.

Are you using the internal switching function to use a a 2 channel pre or are you running them in series? I have the RBI and have always thought about getting the RPM to do this.

What happened to the orange Ibanez?

[quote name='waynepunkdude' post='1148907' date='Mar 3 2011, 08:59 PM']Quick pic of my latest acquisition, I'll get some better ones up soon.[/quote] I love the maple neck and the petite body shape looks fantastic, Is there much physical difference in size between this and a Ray (I think you owned a Ray before Wayne?) or is it more just the shape difference combined with slightly slimmed dimensions because they look so sleek compared to Rays.

Hi Paul Welcome. As Burrito said a beautiful looking avatar and you come from my favourite part of the world. We try and get to Minster Lovell as often as we can, I would relocate there in a heartbeat. Dave

[quote name='cheddatom' post='1146726' date='Mar 2 2011, 08:30 AM']How come you have the delay in a TB loop? Is the buffer no good?[/quote] Hi Tom, The buffer is the best I have heard on a delay, much better than the boss dd3 i sold but you can still hear a definite thinning of the bottom end when the loops engaged. Cheers Dave

I've finally managed to get the stuff I was after. I was going to buy a bigger board to accommodate the delay and bypass but as I only use it for 1 out of 3 bands it made sense to convert an old mic box into a mini board.
