Subj: Looking for a text

Hello MARK,
u wrote in a message to Lutz Sauer:
LS>Have a bubble in my home
 MV> That's "bible" :)
 MV> And the line following that repeated line is something like:
 MV> "If I don't read it and my soul be lost"
Thanks for the hints.
 MV> I'll try to transcribe it this weekend.
Thats fine :-)
 MV> Some Mississippi Delta  southern "dialect" is
 MV> kinda hard to figure in Englisch. :)
I thought I could understand English mostly until i tried to write down the 
lyrics of songs.
 MV> p.s. I just learned "usw" = "etc." today.  Und so weiter,
 MV> ja? 
Da ist richtig. Wenn Du schon bei Abkuerzungen bist, hast Du sicher schon 
einiges gelernt. Vielleicht solltest Du zum ueben das Echo 
musiker.gitarre.ger bestellen, falls es in Zone 1 verfuegbar ist.
MFG,
   Lutz

MV>TS-9.  Probably tonight.  The Ibanez hierarchy seems to go like this:
MV>TS-808 - $300 to $350
MV>TS-9 (old) $175 to $200
MV>TS-9 (RI) about $100 out of the store, less used.
MV>TS-5 about 50 bucks.  What's different about this bottom-feeder 5 unit?
I never did an A/B comparions but I played at different times a reissue
TS-9 and a TS-5 thru my Bandmaster and the TS-9 definitely sounded
better.  In fact, I sold my TS-5 for $30 (with an A/C adapter.)

AT>Plate voltage.  I don't know what the 70's Champs ran (if they were as

My blackface runs between 400 & 410.  Normally that would be too high
but because it's cathode biased there's sort of a "regulating" effect
(for lack of a better term) that allows even Russian tubes to survive.
That said, I did put in a larger cathode resistor in mine to lower the
current thru the tube.  Didn't see to effect the sound.

I think it's WeberVST and I think it stands for Vintage Speaker

Subj: Vintage Silvertone

Remember that little Silvertone (model 1481) a guy gave me a couple
weeks ago?  Spraying the pots fixed 'em and now it sounds almost decent.
It still isn't nearly as loud as a Champ though.  I've seen two in VG,
one for $150 and one for $200.  Insane!  This thing may be worth $50
just because it's all tube.
I may go to a vintage guitar show in Chicago in 3 weeks and see what I
can get.  (I'll give 1/2 to the guy who gave it to me.)

Hi Edward!
AT>> I still mourn the advent of the "5 position" switch on a
AT>> Strat.  Call me a purist. . . .
EA> Is anyone really sure what pickup combinations / switch positions
EA> are on them ?
Usually:
         Pos.   P/u
    up   1      neck
         2      neck + middle
         3      middle
         4      middle + bridge
  down   5      bridge
BTW: Usually the bridge and the neck p/u have a polarity of the magnets 
that`s opposite to the one of the middle p/u. This way, you can achieve  
kinda humbucking, when you combine either the neck or the bridge p/u with the 
middle p/u.
Take care

Subj: GUITAR Echo - Rules Posting

GUITAR - The Fidonet Guitar Echo Echo
Moderator - Gary Gilmore, 1:2410/400 (garyg@oeonline.com)
Last updated: 9/25/97
Description ( as quoted from the Echolist ):
          A Fidonet conference for guitar and bass players, builders and
          techs.  Topics include playing styles and techniques, building
          and modifying guitars/basses, related devices, accessories,
          and amplifiers.  On-going discussions include the Tube/Tranny
          Wars, where the best clubs are (i.e. - free drinks for players),
          compilation tapes of echo participants, and the mystic
          adventures of Fission Chips across the eighth dimension. A love
          of music and humor are REQUIRED!
Rules :
 1. English is the official language of this echo, mainly because that's
    what most of the folks in this echo speak.  (Sort of...)
    Keep in mind that this -is- an international echo.  If you post looking
    for people to jam with, don't expect someone from Boise Idaho to commute
    to your place in Australia.  (Same for selling things.)
 2. Flaming is not allowed.  If you want to flame someone, get a hibachi.
    When you've reached the point of "flaming" will be determined by the
    moderator.  (This also includes the "no jumping on newbies" rule.
    Give 'em a break, huh?)
 3. Aliases are -not- allowed.  Please post using your real name.
    If you aren't sure, look at your birth certificate.
 4. Ovations are allowed, but prepare to be toasted with the hibachi
    from rule #2.
 5. All topics are welcome but try not to let message threads get more
    than 1 or 2 generations away from something having to do with guitars
    or burning Ovations.  This IS the "guitar" echo, remember?
 6. Strange humor can abound here.  Take into account that most of the
    denizens of this echo have rather warped senses of humor.  (After all,
    we're musicians!)  Before you think something should be handled by rule
    #2, make sure they weren't yanking your chain.
 7. The old "Crow T. Robot" was better.
 8. Long/Big signatures are right out.  A single tag line is fine, and a
    SHORT one line signature.  More than that, and you're out of bounds,
    and a 12 line Head (or other stupid ascii "art") after your message is
    grounds for dismemberment, castration, or left-handed guitar lessons
    from Kurt Cobain's ghost.  In a word, Don't.  Same goes for any
    high-ASCII junk.  Leave the "artwork" home.  ("Tab" is not considered
    "ascii artwork", so feel free to post it... just don't go overboard.)
8a. "Surveys" about "where are you from", "what's your favorite band/
    guitar/amp/suppository" and the like are banned from the echo.
    In a word, don't.  Ever.  Especially without prior permission.
8b. Immediately jumping into the echo with a "<whatever/whomever> RULES!!!"
    type post will likely get you branded an idiot.  You can, however, live
    this down by contributing semi-intelligent conversation from then on,
    but we'll probably still wonder about you.  Arguing with a "<whatever/
    whomever RULES!!!" type post will make you look like a bigger idiot than
    the original idiot.  Think about it, won't you?
 9. Don't overquote messages that you're replying to.  Inversely, don't
    expect someone to have the slightest idea what you're replying to if
    you don't quote at least a line or two of the original message.
    More than a couple of lines is probably overquoting.  Use whatever
    common sense you might have.  If you have no common sense, we might
    be able to rent you some.
10. Ads to buy/sell/trade guitars/basses & related equipment -are- allowed,
    but be prepared to be laughed at when trying to sell something for a
    ridiculous price.  While ads are allowed, posting them with the
    frequency of the Washington D.C. murder rate is not.  Again, remember
    the mention about "international echo" from rule #1.
11. Strong language is frowned upon.  Please try to keep your language
    to a level that wouldn't cause Jesse Helms to have too much chest
    pain.  The only exception to this rule is when quoting complete
    music lyrics but don't try to sing flames to someone.  (Post a rap
    song, and you'll get moderated!)  Breaking this rule and rule #2 at
    the same time is grounds for a well earned vacation and a few weeks
    being forced to listen to Debbie Gibson albums.
12. The moderator retains the right to come up with other rules to fit
    situations as the needs arise.
13. Let the moderator do the moderating, OK?  If a troublemaker needs a
    netmail equivalent of a throat-punch, the -moderator- will do so.
    Unless you've been specifically -asked- to be co-moderator, don't
    act like one.  (Rich Lockyer -is- my assistant, so listen to him too.)
Violations of these rules will result in netmail messages from the
moderator followed by the application of a "Garden Weasel" to your echomail
feed, telephone line and possibly fingers.  Really, we're easy going kinda
people and don't wanna have to do anything outta the ordinary so just lay
back, relax, and talk about guitars and related stuff.
Participation Guidelines :
 1. There is no cost or fee to use this echo.
 2. The phrase "Bite Me!" (C) Gary Gilmore.  Licensing available.
 3. Everyone is welcome in the echo!  While there may be biases towards
    various bands, equipment, and playing styles ( not to mention damned
    near everything else that can be discussed ) ALL opinions are welcomed
    and encouraged.  If you feel you are being unduly persecuted, please
    send NETMAIL to the moderator and I shall definitely look into it,
    however it is suggested you examine Rule #7 closely before resorting
    to this.
 4. Don't gate anything into this echo, or this echo out to anywhere else
    without prior permission of the moderator, unless you want your feed to
    disappear like Jimmy Hoffa.  Internet gating is -strictly- prohibited.
