    Tune-o-matic bridges...do you wrap the strings around

    I didn't for a long time, I do now. I play with a medium/high action. With the tailpiece down low, you get a big angle across the bridge. I found I broke strings too easily. To reduce the angle, I could raise the tailpiece; but: I have heard of guys stripping the tailpiece posts (the wood...

    Anyone else have high action or huge/super tight strings?

    Yes. My tastes have went from low to medium to medium high...When my '73 Les Paul custom frets became just so wore out that I couldn't take it anymore, I thought about what frets to use, keeping in my my trend towards higher action, and ended up using Dunlop 6105's (those are the tall and...

    My gawd I love my 5150

    I had a Boogie Tremoverb bias modded, and ran it in low 30's ma....but if memory serves me right it wasn't set from the factory near as cold as the 5150. I had a cold biased 5150 sitting next to a properly biased TVerb, and *poof* I ebayed the Tverb. That preference would have been even more...

    My gawd I love my 5150

    I've had this 5150 a long time.... even though I am educated in electronics, and am a electric utility grid operator by profession- I paid a local tech to install a bias pot. Didn't play with the bias much then, assuming he'd set it correctly. Then the next set of tubes, I checked bias and...

    Put an effects loop in my 2204

    Awesome. I have a 2204. I recently replaced ALL the caps (except the PI fizz cap, 47pf - that I'm waiting on a 100pf replacement to try). The EFX loop is like the one thing this amp doesn't have...and most reviews about an added loop are mixed... I may have to try this. Keep us updated on this...

    MESA Tremoverb

    I loved mine. I also have a 5150, and ultimately- I kept the 5150 and sold the Tremoverb. I know they are different amps, but I was doing similar (hi gain) things with both of them and I preferred the 5150. I thought the Tremoverb did have some mid-gain and clean sounds that sounded better than...

    Sennheiser e609 or Audix i5 to go along with SM57 for miking cabs?

    I have 57's, E906, i5, sm58 and AT4050. The 57 is my favorite on a loud, distorted guitar cab. I only recently got the i5. As cheap as these mics are, I figured if there's something better than the 57, I want it. It has a bit more direct/forward feel, and a little brighter than the 57. I am...

    so I was swappin' tubes in the 5150

    I really like the Tung-Sol in my 5150 & Tverb. Just have them in V1 right now; someday I'd like to load them in all positions.

    Treble Booster?

    Here's a take of mine using the HBE Germaniqa into my Marshall 2204 head. It's the lead guitar that is this combo, and also the clean guitar - same combo- just with the guitar volume rolled down. http://www.mrbobo.com/music/clips/bobo-k2m-middle.mp3

    Anyone mix Greenbacks and V30's in a 4x12?

    Never mixed then in a single cab- but I have a cab loaded with each type. I like them together; they each have their strengths and weaknesses. The V-30's are allot louder than the GB's - this is true.

    G major delay settings. im not happy... ducker delay?

    The dynamic delay.... I mainly use delay lenghts of dotted 1/8 notes- for leads. If I'm running a stereo rig, I like the ping pong delay. I use this formula for dotted 1/8 note: 60/BPM x .75 = ms example: for a song with 140 beats per minute tempo 60/140 x .75 = 321ms

    Treble Booster?

    Never really tried any other treble boosters. I have some other boosts- SD-1, DS-1, Bad Monkey. But this Germania is kick ass.

    Treble Booster?

    I love the Germania too. The Germ has 2 modes... Here's a clip: http://www.mrbobo.com/music/clips/bobo-wtf-outroclip.mp3 (lead =modern, rhythm=vintage) This song, I used the "vintage" setting for the lead break in the middle; it is a clearer, less bassy sound than modern (I also used less gain...

    Retubing my 5150

    >|<>QBB< +1 I think the TAD power tubes sound more musical than the Svets. I prefer them in my Mesa too. I never tried running ALL Tung-Sol pre's, but at least try them in V1.
