    Anyone ever had a passive pickup go bad

    I've seen it quite a bit doing repairs. The thin wire that begins/ends the winding is almost always the culprit.

    How to convert a closed back 2x12 to an open back?

    I did, thanks! The envelope was held by the post office as "suspicious" too, I had to go in person to pick it up. I think I'm not getting the clean tone I want out of any of my cabinets because of the closed back.

    How to convert a closed back 2x12 to an open back?

    Any math or science that I should be aware of here besides getting a piece of plywood and cutting? I'm looking for a different sound out of my Orange PPC212. If you've done it before, let me know any tips or tricks you used to get just the right size.

    Voodoo Mod Dual Rectifier 3ch

    Did some preamp tube swapping and noticed some difference, but not the change that I was looking for. Do you install adjustable bias on all of the Standard mods for Mesa? I can't seem to find the trim pot, is it hiding under one of the boards? Thinking I'll try some EL34's in it before I move...

    Voodoo Mod Dual Rectifier 3ch

    Trace- Thanks for the reply. Was hoping I didn't have to bug you on the phone about a mod I bought years ago, thanks for responding though :thumbsup: I have all Ruby 12AX7A's in the preamp now, and the Ruby 6L6GCMSTR's in the power section. Pretty sure I can scrape up the different preamp...

    Voodoo Mod Dual Rectifier 3ch

    Just wondering if anyone can give me a bit of advice on this. I have a Mesa Dual Rectifier that has already had the Standard mod done, probably six years ago at least. I haven't played it much in the last couple of years as I've preferred my VHT Deliverance. I've been trying to like the Mesa...

    Bogner Shiva Clean Question

    I've seen this a few different times about the 6550's changing the Shiva anniversary. Is it a factory option, or is the bias within range stock? Sucks that a four hour drive is the closest place to find any of this stuff for me...

    Bogner Shiva Clean Question

    Eh.... I hear plenty about the Axe, but definitely not something thats on my radar. I'd have to play one first and last time I checked, they don't have dealers.

    Bogner Shiva Clean Question

    Had a chance to check out a friends head (EL34) over the weekend. I've been looking for a good channel switching head and the cleans on this were pretty damn amazing. The overdrive channel was good too, but just didn't do it for me. Anyone know of any other heads that get similar clean sounds...

    VHT/Fryette D60H Deliverance and VHT 4x12 cab value

    You'd get more if you split them up. On a good day I could see $900 for the head and $550 for the cab sold locally. If they buyer has to pay freight... less.

    Cleaning/retensioning tube sockets.

    DeoxIT StewMac carries it. I've also seen it at some Radio Shacks.

    What do you do when pickup holes are stripped?

    If you're really ambitious you can glue or solder the machine screw nuts to the tab, or you can also use a retaining clip. If you can't find them at an auto parts store, you can buy them on line in packs of 10.... hate to say it but sounds like you need a few...

    Shiva 20th Questions

    Sounds more like the OP has issues with the EQ of this amp than the gain structure or overall voicing. I doubt tubes are going to change that. The Deliverance is a really hi-fi sounding amp, you may want to consider just getting another amp for cleans.
