once you go through a vintage BF amp and bring things up to snuff, they will last for a really long time. I’ve had my BF Deluxe Reverb since the mid 70’s, I may have had one preamp tube go on a gig...
If you were to find an FRFR speaker that could take the very low-level signal straight out of your tele without a preamp, it would sound totally dry, with tone-shaping capabilties limited to the...
Sorry, Jim, still not following you, lowering the 7th of a 7b5 chord will give you minor chords, as in the examples I gave, not a different Dom. 7th chord. D7b5 with 6th lowered = D-F#-G#-B. Ab7b5...
I just ran into this in my YT feed. Definitely a bit of a jaw dropper.
Keyboards put out a lot more bass than guitars, so one of the characteristics of a "keyboard" amp is to handle bass transients without speaker damage. Playing an electronic keyboard through a guitar...
I don't think I said that. Perhaps there was a typo in my post somewhere but I don't think I referred to lowering the 7th of a m7b5. I did refer to lowering the 7th of a 7b5 but I was referring to...
Sorry, by "discrete" I simply meant serving a definite harmonic function, as a subdominant or dominant chord, etc., versus being a passing chord - say an alternate voicing for the previous chord in...
Here is my 38 and case is in the best shape I have ever seen for being original.
This is different than your previous statement and example, which was Am7b5 to D7/Ab7b9 (A-C-Eb-G > A-C-Eb-F#). That is, lowering the 7th of the m7b5 gives you it's relative Dominant (7b9), m7b5 by...
I suspect my way of viewing these things is quite a bit different than most people I encounter in these discussions. You said "It (is) a practical definition, not a closed theoretic one" and...
Well, I had no intention of buying anything, so didn't register or watch the auction. It seems that although I love music and musical instruments, I am or want to be anything but a typical collector....
Thanks for this extra info and the details to watch for. I did get a helping hands-type thing with bendy arms and alligator clips.
Here's another tip - you can't disturb a solder joint at all while it's cooling. If there's any motion (no matter how tiny) between the parts you're soldering before the solder has cooled enough to...
I got the help I was looking for and the shielded two conductor wire is in the mail. Thanks for the extra tips on soldering too; even with the right stuff it still helps to have a clue. The...
Unless an amp was cheap and easy to fix forget it. I have no idea what i would do if my cut out putting any money into it not bright. I can buy a new one with warranty and get what I want or would...
