My son wnats to upgrade the grapics card in a recently acquired PC. The machine has a pentium 4 3.2 ghz with 2 gb of ram. the existing graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1050 which has 128mb on board. My lad seems to think he needs something called a 8800GT and 512 on board. Any advice on what suitable...

I'll give this one one more shot. I've tried the suggestions made above and am unable to resolve the problem.

Sorry Wiz, I have no Firefox processes running that I can see. Certainly no Firefox.exe. As I said above, I have uninstalled the programme and reinstalled and am still getting the same result. I have had to go back to using windows explorer. Are there any other Firefox processes that I should be loo...

my firefox will not now let me open the browser. I am getting a message saying that the program is already open and that I need to shut Firefox down and then open it again. Task manager indicates under applications, that firefox is not running. Also, under processes I can detect nothing that I can r...

welcome once again. I have had a shorter body d11 for a while ( 0839) and recently acquired the longer (fish tail or whatever) (0589) d10. The longer guitar is giving me better tone but that could be for any number of reasons. Please follow Kevin's advice and post to the ZB thread and you will more ...

Russ, Yes, I still have the D-11. It is going to have to be neglected for a while as I have to get used to the different setup on the d10 which has the e changes on the right knee. I'm also having a little initial trouble with picking having got used to the extra string. I'm sure it will all work ou...

OK Gents The guitar arrived this afternoon. This is a whistler. I have been playing a ZB for a while but when I plugged this in my eyes (and ears) popped. This has tone to burst. Congratulations and thanks to Tom Bradshaw who did the restoration. And thanks to Steve Benzian who sold me the guitar. S...

Hey, Russ

Now so have I.

I haven't got my paws on it yet but I think this is going to be a doozy. (Bump anyway)

Pat

What Paul said.

Seriously though, there,s tone to be found clicking here

How do you connect the BB. Does it take the preamp mode to the back of the amp or just hook it up in line from the guitar?
Pat
total novice in amps/electronics

I also just noticed that when I up the volume I am getting a local radio station at very low level coming through the amp. Is that a diagnostic of any sort. Sorry, but in amps and electronics I am very much the novice.

I don't think Goodrich have any service facilities in Australia.

Pat

By the way.
Thanks to Paddy Long for bringing over Ivan's Black Box to the recent Brisbane Festival. Ivan was suddenly ill and Paddy brought the Black box over from NZ. Nicky O'Neil brought it back to Sydney for me. Great all round effort fellas.

Pat

Jack,
There is a battery in the pedal no other devices in the line.

The Tom Bradshaw restoration mentioned on page 59 by Dave Zirbel is now on it's merry way to Sunny Sydney. PICS more news when she arrrives This guitar has the e changes on the right knee whereas my other one has them on the left. Does anyone have any experience in getting used to two different setu...

OK. This is a goodrich pedal; basically in new condition. The effect I'm getting is currently in my garage on a concrete floor where the is no underlying cabling issues. There may be a leads problem, I'll get a couple of new leads and see if that fixes it. I don't believe the amp has anything to do ...

I am getting a hum from my peavey amp when I use it via the volume pedal. Otherwise OK. Any suggestions as to the cause of this?

thanks for any suggestions

Pat

unfortunately, as we get older, our guitars don't get lighter. Nor do our cases.

Hey Russ,

It sure is pretty but you shouldn't keep leavin' it out in the weather or you'll be polishing all your life.!!!

As I understand it , the " Day" set up has the A raise on the "C" pedal. This guitar definitley has the the A pedal attached to the 5 and 10. Check pictures at http://benzianlist.com/ZBcustom.html

you'l have to give us a sound post!

I'll give George a reference here. I've dealt with him and am sure that he would not misrepresent the item.

I'd buy it myself except its too far to send a $400 Dobro.

PK

but was it a Lashley?

Dana,

my sincere congratulations on winning this instrument. I was an under bidder when it was originally listed. The seller didn't respond to my mail to negotiate before he relisted. I think y0u have a good deal. good luck with that zb . the pics looked magnificent.
