..hi..this might help..gingataff is a member here ar madbean..i think he's British and living in Tokyo..i had a trade with him a year ago..goodluck!

Hey art! been a long time!

Haven't been to Osaka in a long time though I used to live near there. I'd go with what imjonwain said. Also get a good guide book. Osaka is pretty much a party town. You'll want to hit the temples in Kyoto for some sightseeing, possibly the big Buddha in Nara and Kobe is a cool town with some nice bars and stuff. Just be aware Japan is an expensive country, and a lot of smaller places don't take credit cards. But 7/11s have ATMs you can use with overseas bank cards.

If you're planning a separate trip to Tokyo then I'd save your money for gear for that. The number of guitar shops in Tokyo is ridiculous and there's a huge amount of second hand stuff as well.  If you want a tour of the best guitar shops in Tokyo give me a shout!

Has anyone tried a TIS58 in the Fat Pants Jr instead of a J201?
It should work, right?

tayda?

thanks pryde.
I'll look into getting an 8ohm lpad.

glad it helped! your biasing issue sounds the same as mine.

I had trouble biasing mine so I changed R12 to 47k and that worked.

That etch is proper bo. I hope you get it sorted.

A while back I made an attenuator using a 16ohm L-Pad based on the instructions on this site http://guitarprojects.weebly.com/diy-attenuator.html.
So far so good but I was wondering if I could modify it to switch between 16ohm and 8 ohm speakers, my amp already has switchable impedance.

Would adding a 50w 16ohm resistor across the L-Pad make it 8ohms? Is there a better way, or just make another one from scratch using an 8ohm L-Pad?

I emailed them a while back asking about screws for the clyde. No reply. I guess I was lucky.

Hey Curt,
Hang in there man. Life throws some hard balls at ya and you've taken the fair share and you're still hangin in there, hats off to you man.
I'm going through a tricky time myself at the moment but thanks to you I know the human spirit is tough and with good support from friends seen and unseen we can overcome life's obstacles.
Peace bro.
Andy.

ripped out cap and missing pot? more slaughtered than broken I'd say. wtf happened??

Not sure how many jazz heads there are here considering it's not a genre that uses many effects, but we have just lost a legend, the great Jim Hall.

Everyone needs a good tubescreamer.
Super clean and tidy job. Nice work.
