Re: The Rickenbacker Burgundy Experiment
Amazing color shade. They did that just by mixing a little black with the FG red paint?

Re: RIC Outlet 360 WB Wide Neck Gun Metal Blue
That Gun Metal Blue is beautiful, wish I knew the paint code because I would already be driving down to Sherwin Willams for some CV right now!

Re: 381 John Kay Electronics
John Hall is right, back then it was a much pricier affair to get low noise and practical voltages for a guitar onboard preamp, I suppose. Today, the OPA-376 is a good device at the 50-cent price point, readily available mail-order, and it uses a single supply voltage between 2.2 vdc and 5.5 vdc. Th...

Re: 381 John Kay Electronics
Back when this circuit was designed, most OP amps were noisy as could be. The units we used . . . and I don't remember what we used . . . were carefully selected to be very low noise. No doubt low noise components now exist today, like you say at $0.50 each. that we probably paid $10 for back then....

Re: 381 John Kay Electronics
if you know anyone with a real JK, just get them to post all the little silver numbers off the top of the two little black squares (integrated circuits) on the internal circuit board under the PG. then again, it could be packaged as two separate four-pin op amps within one eight pin IC package on th...

Re: 381 John Kay Electronics
those are generic op amps, not transistors. at these moderate impedances and audio frequencies, any general purpose fifty-cent op amp will do, as long as it is near the right gain value. possibly within a g=20 to g=120 range or less. the only unknown is the gain value of the audio op amp. could be a...

Re: pickup swap out???
I have a set of Seymour Duncan Bassline replacement pickups for the 4001 and they are really good. The bridge pickup can be wired to a 3 way switch so you can go single coil, humbucker and out of phase as well. Nice tone varieties. I keep the original single coil/single pole pickups for studio use ...

Re: Check out this fellow making his own tubes!
Interesting, but don't those tubes glow a bit too much (due to the presence of gases present because of insufficient vacuum appliedd during manufacture)? But is it not true that the best tube manufacturers cannot get that final bit of vacuum due solely to pumping the gas out of the tube to a near-v...

Re: Committee of Custom Colours
Thanks for explaining about those nine, randomly-placed knobs, Jeff. Then there's the tenth, mounted on its own panel with two exposed screws... :roll: :roll: Shirley, you jest, everyone who has seen airplane and heard the seahunt guy knows that is a multi-prong XLR panel-mount male connector, for ...

Re: I am the worst bassist in Austin apparently!
maybe he liked you all very much and just felt hurt and really did not mean any of that stuff, otherwise he would not have spent so many words and time on his email to you in the first place....
