You may be correct. I did not see it so am unsure of its content. Forum rule #10:cjj wrote:Maybe it's because it was pretty much an advertisement for said new product and it got deleted?...

Yes, my mistake. My apologies to Peter and RRF for posting the new JangleBox announcement. I was unaware of rule #10, but it won't happen again.ken_j wrote:You may be correct.

Yes, all JangleBoxes come with a 9V battery.The_Running_Man wrote:This may sound like a rather stupid question but do Jangleboxes take batteries or are they just run from a 9v mains adapter?
And while I am at it... what's this "pin-positive polarity issue" all about then?

Yes, we're selling direct from our web site right now. Although it will be a couple of weeks before they're in, we will have silver JangleBoxes in time for Christmas delivery. This year, for the first time in five years, there should be no back orders with JangleBoxes.JakeK wrote:YES!!!!!! ALL THIS WAITING PAID OFF!!!
I need to get my butt over to (or email) International Vintage Guitars soon and have them contact you. Could it be possible for me to get one directly from you in time for Christmas?
I especially must use flats on the 370-12 RM as the hotter toasters combined with the onboard processor made rounds sound too lively,(twangy or nasaly sounding).I tried several different brands, not happy with them and then someone suggested flat wounds.The_Running_Man wrote:I do tend to use Rickenbacker strings on the Burns 12 (even given their price, I still use them) and have recently bought 10 sets of GHS 9-42 Precision Flatwound strings which up to now I have only used on my ES335 and not on any of my Ric 6's, all my other guitars get Super Slinkys or D'Addarios in 9-42.fatcat wrote: Running Man: don't overlook flat wound strings in the quest for the tone.
Do you have any recommendations on string makes and string gauges I could try in my quest for (in my case 60's Mersey Sound and Byrds) tonal excellence? I suspect heavier than 9's 'cause in the 60's you were very lucky to even get 10's, I remember using Black Diamond and La Bella tape wound strings on my Tele in the late 60's (either them or whatever they had in the shop at the time), I have no idea what gauge they were 'cause you just bought 'em, put 'em on and if required you would file the nut slots wider 'till the strings fitted... all very technical... NOT.
Also what about plain 3rd vs wound 3rd?

No. what I am referring to is the TI set:The_Running_Man wrote:Hi,fatcat wrote: Nowadays, nearly the same thing is available from POTR as a made-up set.

I have just checked out strings on PotR's site and found these Curt Mangan Custom strings in Pure Nikel and Wound Nickel, are these the ones?
Pure Nickel 12 string set for $11.95... Wound Nickel 12 string set for $8.95... are these prices correct? It appears awfully inexpensive... and 6 string sets at 7.95 for Nickel and 5.95 for Wound????
A bit of a contrast price wise to the Pyramid and Thomastik sets, how do they hold up quality wise (if it is these ones you were talking about that is)?
