Recently I put new strings on my EB3 and last night, after not having played it for a while, noticed I was getting a fret buzz on the G string for quite a way up the neck. Raising the saddle, even to higher than the D string, was not curing it so I thought it must be something else. I noticed it buzzed only when the string was plucked with my index finger and was ok with my middle finger. I was making sure I was plucking evenly with each. The conclusion I eventually reached was that although I try to keep my nails short the index fingernail was clicking the string, as after filing it down the fret buzz had gone. How that works I don't know.

To stop the neck dive when playing my EB3 (shorty) I pass the strap under my belt. This will also help stop trousers from hanging down on those with no arse to keep them up.

The side 'lights' on my Sims fitted Leds are only fibre optic.

Andy Fraser. Don't know why my ears tuned on to him and not the likes of Entwistle, Squire or John Paul Jones who I also must have heard playing. Maybe it was just the whole sound of Free. [attachment=238901:Andy Fraser.JPG]

Good to hear what sounds like what might have been an expensive repair was a cheap easy fix.

I am suffering with pain in both my thumbs at the moment. I have put mine down to the fact that recently I have been lifting some 8x4 sheets of plywood edge on using my fingers and thumb in a vice like grip and have probably strained them.

Two beautiful moggies.

My ones from Specsavers were Elacin ER25's.

Where are all the Warwicks? I am hogging three of them right here. [attachment=232318:3 Warwicks.jpg]

Link hopefully fixed. The amp is a Reuther ST 240,

I was recently given a non working guitar combo, one of these http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/reuther-st-240-stereo-amp-german-made-955604578 Reuther ST240 Stereo Amplifier. What I have discovered is the tip is not making contact in any of the input sockets. I have removed one and opened it up and what appears to be the tip contact does not touch the tip on a standard jack plug. This is an oldish amp, where there any other type of plug available then? The tip contact is that tiny pip you can see in the first picture. I have replaced one of the inputjacks that was not pcb mounted with a standard socket and the amp performs ok. Replacing all the sockets is a no go. [attachment=232059:JS1.jpg] [attachment=232060:JS2.jpg] [attachment=232061:JS3.jpg]

Gibson used this method on a Thunderbird, retaining both volume controls. [attachment=230641:Series pickup wiring.JPG] Edited to add this.. [attachment=230642:Series pickup wiring 2.JPG]

How do you convert a 2X10 12Ω cab to 4Ω with just a wiring loom, is it magic cable?

When faced with what filters to get I based my decision on the fact I was getting them because I was never happy with the various make ER17/20 universal plugs I had been using. I went for the ER25 filters and have not regretted it, either as a player or a punter.

[quote name='LukeFRC' timestamp='1475438438' post='3145942'] good opportunity to show mine off I think! 1985 - one of the super early ones with the short horn. [/quote] Love that short horn, I wonder if it is possible to retro one of mine. Are those switches on the pickups, what do they do?

How is the intro counted in on this. I am thinking 1 2 3 4 5 6 [u]7[/u] [u]8[/u] and come in on the 7. I say this because in the 4th bar there appears to be a 9th beat (which is causing some confusion with the guitar player and drummer when I play it). Or, am I hearing it all wrong. What is your take on it. [media]http://youtu.be/TLV4_xaYynY[/media]

Mid 70's I was in a band with two drummers, different styles complimented each other. [attachment=226470:Wildlife 2.jpg][attachment=226471:A Brace Of Drummists.jpg][attachment=226472:Wildlife 3.jpg] https://soundcloud.com/james-inglis-934110996/good-time-wildlife-1975

It says in the info for the Aria it has 4 strings, I can only see 3.

I have just acquired a pair of 8Ω Carlsbro PA cabs (15" + horn) to use at a jam night*, the problem is they are only 150W and my power amp (Behringer EP2500 "says" 750W @4Ω. I am linking the two cabs in parallel from one channel and obviously I am worried about overpowering them, listening for any harsh noise or distortion when setting the output level. I was thinking I could link these two cabs together in series giving me 16Ω and therefore get less power from that channel but then wondered whether that would still be ok with the horn and any crossover/filter they may have. *This is not a freebie gig, the house band are paid.

I'm having the same problem with IE11, just get this... [attachment=225641:Youtube.JPG] (above is a .jpg not a video)

[quote name='kodiakblair' timestamp='1469699093' post='3100367'] Don't buy the Duracell from the £1 shop . [/quote] Agree. They can be got for a far better price in the 99p store.

Ok, so they are replacements then. I'll check the date using that code. They all test ok using a test sound source, won't be able to fire them up properly till the weekend. How the bins are likely to respond with those drivers in will be interesting. Thanks BOTB & BF for the info.

I have just acquired these from a premises about to be demolished. [attachment=224336:P.A..jpg] The only info I can find on the minibins are that they are '70/'80s 100w disco speakers. [attachment=224337:Minibin.JPG] On looking inside I found they had Eminence Delta 15A speakers with no power rating on them. Looking online they check out at 400w rms. They may not be the original speakers or were there 100w Eminence Delta speakers at one time?
