I have two guns, one 25w the other 100w. A 25W gun or iron is way too small to use on guitar electronics. A 40W iron is a much better choice. The 100W gun is overkill and will melt the plastic insulation on wires fairly quick. It can be useful, though, for soldering to the pot bodies and pickup bas...

Eden.....sorry!

Don't do it! :shock: +1 100 watts seems like way more than you need for working on your bass when 25 watts should do it. Either get a dimmer box for it or take up stained glass. :lol: With respect, I disagree. I have two guns, one 25w the other 100w. I find the larger one is better, even in delicat...

No more damning statement about our 'post modern' culture could be offered up than Simon Cowell's on-air admission that Aretha Franklin could not win on "American Idol" because she doesn't 'look like a star'. Well to me, Whitney Houston, although she would undoubtedly take first prize on ...

By sheer coincidence, I happen to be the custodian of artifacts at the ranch.

Eddie Calvert 1955 and this was a number 1 in UK you don't get many trumpet players having number one's these days.

In my opinion, it wouldn't bother me if Paul was using AutoTune at live gigs. He's earned it! He's more than proved that he's an incredible singer over the years and It's not fair to expect him to sing those high songs just like he did when he was in his 20's or even 40's. If he was using it, I wou...
