Re: Gibson Historic potentiometer....

Got it... I mixed them up. Does anyone know if I got the RS Superpot or the 06 R6 in my '03 Historic?

Re: Gibson Historic potentiometer....

I am somewhat new to the "using volume knob to control gain" game. I have an '03 '59 Historic (Stinger model) that is stock. Firstly does anyone know if it has a short shaft? I'm assuming it does. Also can anyone describe in "feel" terms the taper of the new pots to me? I have looked at the graph an...

Re: Should I find a builder or is there an amp?

Thanks Martins! Very tight sound! Exactly the type of tone I'd want in a Strat. I had a one day chance to get the JMJ but hesitated and I assume the amp was gone.

Re: Should I find a builder or is there an amp?

I was thinking in the 2-4k range. I should also mention that my use is somewhat lower volume since I'm a guitar teacher/recording studio type guy. As far as amps I've never been able to play any of the boutique names like Bruno, Matchless, Morgan, Carr. In that first link of my first post I like the...

Should I find a builder or is there an amp?

I primarily play Strat and have been having no success getting good tone out of my Mesa Boogie Mark II. I can get good cleans but no natural grind. So I started listening to many clips of amps (no way to test any here) and pretty much loved Tweed deluxe, Tweed bassman type tone. Until this: http://w...
