Shipping tales - URGENT UPDATE!!!
HSB0531 replied to santellavision's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
When I was selling off a lot of basses, I got my boxes, giant bubble wrap roll and huge bag of peanuts from Uline. There's a shipping freight charge for the larger stuff, but I picked up my supplies at the "local" warehouse which saved a lot. -

I sounds like he had multiple shots of Novocain and dental work done right before they went on stage. -
Oh Lordy!

Any design we did for an install that involved audio only, or lighting and audio we specified that all the audio circuits were on the same ground, isolated from all other grounds in the building. They had to be dedicated circuits ( nothing other than audio gear on them ) The audio system also had to be on its own electrical phase. Any lighting or equipment that operated with motors or compressors like Air conditioning, refrigerators, motors, pumps etc., had to be on separate circuits with different grounds and electrical phase.

While I do have a 12-string it's a bass. But, many years ago I got to play a Taylor 12-string acoustic for a good hour, and I really liked the sound as well as the neck feel.

Duly noted sir. I still have that somewhere in storage.

HSB0531 replied to Victor (Fret Friend)'s question in Ask the HFC Experts
See if someone makes a travel adaptor. UK 240v. receptacle to US 120v. plug with internal step-up x-former. I looked at the Weller like the one you're considering, the Hakko you have, and the Edsyn: https://edsyn.descoindustries.com//EDSYN-Catalog/Soldering/Soldering-Stations-Irons/2020/ The Hakko won out and 6+ years later, it's still my favorite. It's super reliable, and it was used constantly with no problems at all. But, all 3 companies make excellent solder/de-solder stations. For me it came down to the price vs quality, and the Hakko won out. -

1X12 Cabinet Experts: Is This The One I Want?
HSB0531 replied to velorush's question in Ask the HFC Experts
I hope that anyone or company that is combining different speaker pairs in a single cabinet is separating them so there is no interaction. Regarding weight: The original EVM-12L was even heavier than the current ones. Electro-Voice used to attach a black metal back to the magnet assembly for "cooling purposes". We would remove them to get rid of excess weight. After several hundred cabinets out the door, we never experienced a thermal failure. -
No Love For Blackface Bandmasters
HSB0531 replied to Dutchman's topic in Hamer Fan Club Messageboard
I think it all boils down to trying different eras & models of Fender amps and deciding what you like, then finding it for a reasonable price. If there's a back line rental house in your area, you could rent several amps for a day and decide. Or find a local rehearsal/recording studio that has the amps you're into and rent a room for a couple of hours to audition them. -

Yes, the AGCI looked it over thoroughly, and did not find anything wrong with the description. The new Artificial Guitar Center Intelligence is working "Cracking Good" mates! -
