    I have a Marshall Micro-mini amp that is powered by a 9v battery. It works
    great, but obviously isn't very loud - you'll have to put a pre-amp or
    booster on it to hear over the street noise. You can hang it on your belt
    ( 6"x4" w/ a belt clip on the back). I got mine from Musician's Friend for
    ~$30. I would get a 120vac-9vdc adapter for it; a regular 9v battery won't
    last long, especially w/ overdrive mode selected!

    Nope on both. I've heard the headphone mikes are nice for mobility, but
    tough to control for noise and sound if you're used to moving back-and-forth
    on a stationary mike. I heard Sammy Hagar on one in '87 and he sounded 
    tremolo-like at times.

I've got a Deluxe Plus with silver, red, and blue lace pickups, so you've got
me really curious about the gold ones... so what IS the tone like, compared
to these other three?

   Is there anyone who has the scematics for a speaker simulation circuit
   like the one used in the JMP-1, the H&K Red Box or a Zoom device?

I'm eager to hear some answers on this too.  C'mon you folks with speaker
simulators, rip those puppies apart and tell us how they're implemented!

For my contribution I can tell you that the speaker simulator on the Hughes
and Kettner "Tubeman" is built with a four pole low-pass filter (F1 = 4860
Hz, Q1 = 1.58, F2 = 4950 Hz, Q2 = 0.73) implemented in the obvious way with
two op-amps.  A little peakier than a Butterworth.  This one is a little
deficient in that there's no open-back low-mid hump for warmth, but it
works okay otherwise.

With all the discussion that has been going on lately regarding the
lace sensor pickups, would someone please be kind enough to explain
to me what the red lace sensor is like? I know that the blue is more
of a PAF humbucker, the silver is QuarterPound strat, and the gold is
a more vintage sound. Is the red like a HOT humbucker or just a BEEFED
up vintage strat sound? Thanks in advance. Please correct if I'm wrong
about the other lace sensors.

I've probably asked this before, but I never got an answer, so I'll
ask again....

I refinished the neck on my mid-60's Epiphone, and the decal on the
headstock was taken off with it.  I managed to get hold of several
vintage Epiphone decals some time ago from the old Gibson factory,
and botched one attempt to put the name back on the headstock.  I
have two left but I'm reluctant to risk botching them too, unless I
have some plausible plan of attack.

Now, I realize that companies don't want to give people a license to
stick their name on a guitar that is inferior to the name it
purports to represent, but somebody, somewhere, must have, at some
time, put a decal of some kind onto their guitar.  I like this axe,
and am getting tired of explaining the absence of brand name.  Any
clues as to how to stick these things on?  There doesn't seem to be
any adhesive backing, merely a stiff piece of paper with this plastic
decal on it.

A short while ago I asked this group about a Hipshot Tremsetter (on
Strat+), but did not get a satisfactory response.  Now that I am a
proud owner of a Strat+, I can answer my own question -- and respond to
Brian's observation, too!

The Tremsetter (made by Hipshot music) allows you to adjust the
"stability" of a floating tremolo.  It is installed in parallel to the
springs that pull against your strings.  First thing I did was to
tighten the Tremsetter (two knobs get twirled, this tightens the main
spring).  While it now takes a bit more force to move the tremolo bar,
bending won't pull other notes off.  There is a distinct feeling of a
"home" position (also adjustable if you just want it to float).

Since everyone's taste must be a bit different with regards to how
you want your tremolo to respond, the Tremsetter is a nice answer,
and more convenient than adding springs.

I'm not an expert but sounds old ie from 30's to 40's and is worth from
$2500 to $5000 judging on the prices I've seen advertised.  There are a
few books around that list going prices for vintage guitars you might check
them or call one of the stores that deals with vintage guitars Gruhn's Guitars
in Nashville, Elderly Instruments, or Mandolin Bros. to name a few, sorry I
don't know the address of the top of my head, they usually advertise in the

Did you wet the decal and then slide it off onto the headstock?
The decals I used as a boy worked this way.  It's been a long time
but I seem to remember using a sponge to wet the surface where the
decal would go and then lay the decal on the sponge to wet it and
then slide the decal off the backing onto the surface.  You should
have a little time to move the decal some for final placement.  Then
I would use the sponge to gently wipe away the excess water and
get any bubbles out from under the decal and then let it dry.

Don't know if this will work for your application.

Martin serial numbers are pretty orderly, at least in that time frame.

I don't have the list, but I'm sure Martin would tell you exactly if
you call them (215) 759-2837.  Your friend is probably pretty close.
I bought a D-28 in early '78 with serial #391xxx, and I think I
decided mine was a '76 or '77.

i don't know what size you're looking for but marshall has this real 
little thing (about 6"x5") that runs on a 9-volt and has a belt 
clip on the back.  it has an overdrive and cranks pretty good in spite of 
its size.  you can even get pretty good feedback and stuff.  it's fun 
to play with...
