    Played as straight 16ths over 4/4.  The "3'" is an almost half-step bend.
    The two "r"s are 16th rests.  This is simply an adorned boogie.  It does
    want to be played cleanly.  I usually double-pick it and use hammer-ons
    and pull-offs on the 4-5-4-2 turn-around, but it's not necessary.

    (I learned it from the Commander Cody "Hot Licks, Cold Steel, and 
        Trucker's Favorites" album.  If not that one, then some other Cody
        album.)

Haven't tried Trainwreck. How about THD Bassman ? The finest Bassman reissue
I've seen. Much sweeter than Fender's own. Kendrick is also reported to be
very good. Matchless makes a very good Vox-type amp. New Vox reissue is also
nice for that EL-84 power amp crunch. Could be too loud tho. Bonnie uses
Demeter amps w/6V6 power tubes. Her sound is awfully nice.

John, 

There are a number of places that advertise mail order tubes.  One of my
latest Radio Electronics magazines has ads for the following:

Steinmetz, 7519 Maplewood Ave., Hammond, IN 46324   (send SASE)
           they claim to have the "oldest" and the "latest" - 
           also parts and schematics.

Kirby, 298 West Carmel Drive, Carmel, IN 46032  (send SASE)
           "Tubes, new, up to 90% off"

Antique Electronic Supply, 6221 S. Maple Ave., Tempe, AZ 85283 (send $2.00)
           "Over 3000 types in stock - also hard-to-find transformers,
            capacitors, and parts for tube equipment."

That's what I could find in my magazine.  

D I S C L A I M E R: I am in NO way affiliated with any of these companies.
                     I have NEVER ordered anything from them.
                     I therefore cannot vouch for their quality.

Note: If anyone has used them I would like to hear from them.  Also if
anyone knows of other companies that mail order tubes, please email the
information to me at bk233@cleveland.freenet.edu.

Anyone out there made their own amp?  Do you use it?
Have you copied the circuit diagram of a 'classic'
old tube amp and managed to recreate the sound you
were expecting?

Reissue tube amps are typically more expensive than
comparable solid state amps.  The parts cost more,
and maybe you're paying for the 'concept',  as if you
were buying the real thing.  Maybe you're paying
for something I can't think of, too.  Is it viable
to copy the electronics?  Would this cut the cost?

What are your thoughts on building your own tube amp?

	Yes, the original Scholz Power Soak is merely a resistive
load and is bad for the amp as David says.   The advertisement
I saw for the new Soak in Guitar Player recently said it was a reissue
of the original and also said it was safe for the amp.  The photo
showed a device that appeared almost identical to the original.
If it *is* a reissue then Scholz is lying because it is NOT safe.
If you, Dave, or anyone, has details on whether it's a reissue or
a real redesign, please publicize them.

>Mesa Boogie for one, prohibit the fitting of Power Soaks to
>their amps, Marshalls also have a tendancy to fry.

	I have purchased brand new MESA amps, and there was no mention
in the user documentation or warranty registration of prohibition of
power soaks.  However I have seen such prohibition in Marshall literature.
Use of a power soak with a Marshall voids the warranty, plain and simple.
Marshalls by their design are particularly susceptible to the kind of
damage the soak can cause.

	Note that this does not apply to the Marshall SE100
speaker emulator (power attenuator) which is a safe design based
on technology licensed from Groove Tubes. 

>Hey! Robyn! Guess what time it is again??  :-)

	You really want me to post the whole thing again?  :-)
Tell you what, I'll take this as more impetus to incorporate the
latest stuff you sent me, plus write the "volume III" on safe
power attenuators.

I've been using the Crate G600 stack for the past 4 years.  The only complaint
that I could come up with is that it does not have the power I would like.  The
sound that I get is fantastic (both the internal sounds and the sounds from my
rack system: a Rolamd GP-8 effects processor).  I've played some of the newer
Crates also, and they are just as good if not better.  Try some out.

Hmmm, Interesting.  My first instinct if he had said that was that
I *definately* wouldn't want a maple top -- so that I wouldn't be
contributing to the problem.  Financial concerns are obviously
secondary to me.  (BTW, this wasn't meant to be anything remotely

	After listening the new Ali Farka Toure cd *many* times I begun

	I saw AFT live in Helsinki couple of years ago, and he seemed

 The point of the arch top design was to make it louder, to enable a
guitar to be heard playing chords with a jazz band. I had a 1939
Epiphone Broadway (stolen last year, sob!) and for Freddie Green
style comping, it was just the thing - very loud, and with a fairly
fat, warm sound (unamplified that is). The guitar had a pickup also,
added sometime later, and sounded quite good through an amp. 

 Note that the best arch tops are carved, solid tops. For example
the OLD Epiphones, and of course top of the line guitars like
D'Angelico. I don't know exactly if all, some, or none of the L-5
guitars were solid carved tops or what. Some later arch-top electric/
acoustic gutiars had pressed tops, i.e., take a sheet of wood (plywood
on the cheapest ones) and heat-shape it into the arch shape.

There are a lot of variables when it comes to amplifier design.  There are
bypass circuits that aid (or destroy) the bandpass of the amplifier.  This
gives the amp its frequency response.  There are also biasing circuits in
the grid circuits of the tubes that can drastically affect the response and
distortion characteristics.  

The type of tube (or solid state device) determines a lot because each
device has its own characteristics.  Each tube, transistor, op amp, or
whatever has the ability to change the dynamics of the amp.  It all depends
on what methods were used in the design, what characteristics the engineer
that designed it had in mind - and it even goes down to individual
component values used.

Another factor is how well the individual stages inside the amp are matched
to each other.  Simple impedance mismatches can dramatically affect the
frequency response and power transfer to the next stage.

The simple fact of the matter is that there are so many ways to design an
amplifier that it causes each design to take on characteristics of its own.

That is the reason that it is ALWAYS best to try an amp out with YOUR
guitar and run it through its paces before you buy it.  What might sound
great to me with my guitars may not be the best match to your equipment.

I hope this helps - it's just that the subject is a very complex one to try
to answer in a reasonable post length.  There are countless books on
amplifier design that spend hundreds of pages on the topic.

Acoustic neck problems are one of the most common problems.

If the guitar has no truss rod, there are two options.

1) The first is if the condition is extremely bad, to do major
work on the neck: insert truss rod or reposition the neck.
This could cost a lot of time and money.

2)	 The second is to always release the majority of the
tension caused by the strings at the end of each playing.
This may not reverse the problem as much as it will prevent
any further damage to be caused.

	When storing any guitar for a long period the strings
should be loosened in order to prevent any neck damage.

It seems every cheap old acoustic I get for thrashing and travel
purposes gradually gets harder to play, ie the neck starts warping.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to straighten it out, given it
has no truss rod, etc. It's a cheaper model Washburn that's only about
7 months old.  (Any info on warranty stuff, Washburn phone number would be
appreciated, since I'm pretty sure I misplaced all that good stuff. . . .  )
