Re: Cab building tips?

The article says Jim Marshall's 4x12" cab was a random 'design'.

Re: Cab building tips?

I wouldn't glue and nail but glue and screw will work fine. Rebate the screws so the router won't hit them. After Rounding fill up the rebates with Wood filler

Finger joints are nicer. Especially for pine but 18mm ply, yeah, screw and glue

Re: NAD: 65 Jansen 6/sixteen

I doubt the 40/40/20 is faulty. You said the amp was quiet so that means power caps are fine. The caps for the trem should be fine too. As Tony says, I would resolder the components in the trem circuit first.

Beautiful. Tone is in the old terminal strips, exposed component leads, fat earth wires and the Redfern transformers and choke.

Would have thought it was R22?
Likewise, R8 appears to ensure there is always a load on the OT.
Oh yes maybe R8, I have vague recollections of it being 220 something something ohms :rofl:
R22 dude, as the others said :wink:

Re: What's on your work bench?

Fretboard edges 'rolled'. Love the new feeling of this neck...
Amazing what 2 gram material removal can do!

Re: What's on your work bench?

Guitar officially 2 gram lighter after Rounding the fretboard. Didn't realise it was growing hair as well

Re: What's on your work bench?

On the dining table workbench

Rounding the fretboard edges, made new bridge base from puriri. Fretboard and frets cleanup and treatment. New strings to go on with setup following.

Is that the one where the default frequency is set 332Hz rather than 440Hz?

Re: Baltic Birch ply

Have you considered checking out some demolition yards? The old inbuilt kitchens in 50s and 60s houses in NZ had good quality pine used in those kitchen cabinets. Plank width of 250 and 300mm are common, thickness would be 19mm.

You might have to remove some paint first though.

Re: Mr Glyn Minx mini-hums

You could try the DiMarzio DP240/241 but you would need to adapt a pickup ring to fit them as they are smaller than standard P90. I really like them but no idea how they compare to the Minx I checked these out, thanks for the suggestion. Also, heard a demo of Paul Gilbert playing his signature Dima...

Loverly. Even more special as 1977 is my birth year.

Photo trick or are those bone saddles?
