    OT: TATTOOS

    in Guitar Forum

    Posted

    All I know is I saw a recent headline about something along the lines of "tattoo remorse fuels tattoo removal business boom".

     

    Personally I think that for some of us who are hoping to still be around for awhile, it's a questionable thing to do on any prominent part of the bod.

     

    I don't have any and am not considering any.

     

    Then again, maybe I should get Bluesape and Ellwood's opinions.....should I go ahead and get a really large flying V tattoo on each forearm?

     

     

    A Flying V alter becoming the central fixture in your home would be sufficiently respectful! :D:wave:

    Ok thanks Myles, yeah I sure will do that, at least I know I have one good tube to swap around between the suspect postitions to see what happens!

     

    Quick update Myles, it ended up being half of V4 12AX7 was bad, all is well now and Trem channel is blasting away again..thanks for the advice and I did learn a couple of things along the way! :thu:

    Hi Miles, I'm trying to figure which tube is the V2? from left to right from the back of the amp it's, 5881,5881,7025,7025,12AX7,12AX7,7025,7025....this is a Pro Model 6G5-A.

     

    V1 is the preamp tube most close to the input jack and the farthest from the output tubes. You count from V1 .... V2 is next to V1.

     

     

    HI again Myles, well I tried a new 7025 in the V2 position and it's still at half volume on the tremlo channel, what's next? should I pull all the preamp tubes out and replace them? (I mean on the trem channel only) the regular channel is perfect? thanks ..LEE, I just am trying to avoid taking this amp back into Bruce Egnater, it takes too long to get back, but I will if I have too.

    Myles, on my 1962 Fender Pro Amp I have half the volume on my Trem channel? on the normal channel it is crazy loud and on the Tremlo channel it is about half? The Trem channel is not distorted and sounds great tone wise but just not as loud as the normal channel? Thanks Myles...LEE

    tomtele, Tom Myles is right, find someone in your area that has lots of experience setting up amps if you can. Another idea why don't you repost this question in the regular part of the forum and let the guys there have a stab at helping you, just post it and let it run for awhile as see what turns up. Myles deals with highly technical circut and specific amp problems and modifications, the regular forum would be manybe a better place for this kind of question.

    Myles, I'm posting this queston for Stratbluesman because he is having some trouble with the Forum format, he is new to the forum..here is his question: "hi there every one, new to this so you will have to bear with me.

    i hope someone out there can help me with a problem that has recently started to happen with my fender deluxe 112 plus amp, at a couple of gig's it has started to lose volume and then every now and then it has come back with a bang, and it gets very warm on the top, any help would be much appreciated, i just hope that this is not one of them sites that is full of idiots saying things like, bin, buy a new one, and general crap like that.

    thanks anyway all.

    best regards"

    Myles I have a good friend of mine that has as Showman head, original late 60's vintage. All of a sudden he has lost just about all his bass response and everything seems to be mid to high range? with the bass control full up it sounds like he is running NO bass at all. What could be causing this problem? Thanks ...LEE

    POSTED FOR IAN: hi,

     

    I just bought a marshall jtm45/100 reissue stack but there is a noisy buzz from it when i switch on the amp and cab. i have checked the valves and they all seem fine, could it be picking up static from somewhere? Ive tried it in several locations though and its the same? Is there a general buzz from 100w amps anyway? it is a dual output head if that makes any difference..

     

    Thanks

     

    Ian
