Great responses guys. Sound like the microphonics wont ever become a bad problem and likely sound good due to it having that characteristic
Thanks, JB

Not sure if there is a chart available but I remember an s 10 havong a low 1000 number and it was a 1966. It was a bolt on like yours

So its almost like they came outta the factory that way, if it's even possible?

Ben, how long have you noticed that, and do you think it's gotten worse. Even just alittle?

Jake, have these been microphonic most of the time you've had them, and if so, how long. Do they not get much worse over time?

Hi guys, Happy Thanksgiving. My 1974 emmons pp sounds absolutely great. It feels alive and has so much warm and punch. Really has great character. That being said, if I leave the volume pedal all the way down and press pedals I can hear it ever so slightly through the amp if I mute the strings. And ...

How do I transfer band in a box files to pro tools? Am having trouble getting it. You tube tutorials are not helping. JB

I'm wanting to sart doing some basic in home recording. Didnt know if anyone has some older gear or if someone is getting out of it. Looking for mixers, mic, headphones, cables, ect. Maybe a packaged deal. I'm on a tight budget. Thanks in advance, JB

Is that what Buddy worn??

To think of it, no. I do not remember hearing a difference (noticable) in the un amplified instrument. But I couldnt say for sure

Interesting Georg. That sounds like it would work well. When I loosened the screws and resnugged then, I am pretty confident in saying its tight enough not to rattle by resonating in contact with other parts. By all means I do not think they ought to be about ready to jiggle out loose, but not to th...

I was able to purchase a Raytheon tube. The Older ones that were made in the United states, and all I can say was it was the right one for what I wanted. Some others I tried, not so much. Try a few, as you can when you get the opportunity and have the money to. One day you'll find that right tube an...

Yes Tommy. Would be nice to hear what the others say. My guitar sounded good before, but it added a nice smooth coating on top of it all(on e9th, c6 however it completely changed for the better). With further experimenting, I did the same with the end plates ( which screws were very tight) and did n...

I know this has been stated before, but I am a believer now. This is what happened, by reading all the post on emmons guitars good vs bad ect. I thought heck, I'll try loosening up the neck screws to see if that does any thing. Well I tried it. Loosened all the screws, gave the neck a little wiggle(...

Get ahold with Mickey Adam's on the forum. He's a great guy and can tell you anything you need to know about MSA guitars

Awesome, thanks Ian!

Does any body have this catalog and like to reshare it. Its expired with a 404 but I'm interested in looking at it. Thanks, JB

Due to a recent about an emmons pickup with white around the post, I looked at min and noticed something kinda similar. I noticed a almost glue like substance on one side of the pole, but on 2 of the poles it was cracked out. Is this normal and okay? As far as I know it has original emmons pu's http...

Where are you at in ohio?

Thanks!!

How do I render it to a wma or mp3? I can get the file in a folder but it runs on the system software. I can't get the file in a form that I can load it to a playlist to burn

This might be a dumb question, but I can't figure it out. I want a few files on a cd disk so I can play them on a CD player, to where I do not need the software to run it

Thanks. Just curious. Really enjoyed him

Just got finished watching Ned Ledouxs band play at Lucas oil stadium. Anybody know his steel guitarist?
JB

It's a fairly new speaker, and I keep in pretty clean. I'll try that though. at pre 5 post 5 I know I will not have any problems at all. It's the 7 where it starts getting iffy. If that's normal for an older amp then maybe i don't have a problem at all. I'm still not sure if I'll be loud enough, the...
