And yes, gnease is a genious masquerading as a normal person who occassionally plays guitar. You should hear him play...

Reverb unit eh... I guess I just figured that was in the amp area like everything else.... aye.

Thanks for the heads up!]]> Guitar Players Discussion undercat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/paged/2/#post-85692 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/paged/2/#post-85687 Wed, 19 Jan 2005 03:48:04 +0000
I was considering cutting it open and finding out what the deal was, but I figured I'd ask ya'll before I did something I would regret later. That's no 2x4, that's your reverb unit! The leather is to hold it in the bottom of the amp.

BTW, Peavey has the manual for the Classic 30 online at:

Thanks for the great explanation.]]> Guitar Players Discussion undercat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/paged/2/#post-85678 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/#post-85673 Wed, 19 Jan 2005 01:58:43 +0000
The tension that is changing when one raises or lowers the tailpiece is the tension on the bridge (downward toward the body). The axial tension on the string on either side of the bridge would be exactly the same if the string could freely slide over the bridge. The higher downward tension on the bridge is usually credited with causing better acoustic coupling at the bridge and thus better sustain and different tone.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/#post-85673 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/#post-85669 Wed, 19 Jan 2005 01:45:16 +0000
Metaellihead: Thanks for the compliment on the flame. As it turns out, the guitar is not only pretty, but tonally respectable too. I'm going to do some recording with it as soon as I can. I have some already, but the C30 really brings out a lot of it's tonal nuances, and I'm hoping that will show up better on recordings than what I have been using in the past.]]> Guitar Players Discussion undercat https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/#post-85669 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/#post-85664 Wed, 19 Jan 2005 01:20:08 +0000
Edit:

Also, can anyone date these, or does anyone know of a resource for dating by serial or features? Blue Marvels. I bought the Classic 50 because it sounded tighter than a nearby DeVille, which seemed to produce a lot of "barking" in bass transients. I wish I'd tried the Classic 30, as I definitely would have snagged that instead of the 50, which really loud and really heavy.

WRT to the LP tailpiece: I knew of the original wraparound design -- planning on using it for a lap steel I'm currently building. It's interesting you mentioned the looser feel. That's exactly what I was wondering about. The wrap around not only changes the break angle, but increases the length of string from the saddle to the final anchor point. That should make the string feel a bit softer as well.]]> Guitar Players Discussion gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/#post-85664 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/#post-85645 Tue, 18 Jan 2005 23:54:27 +0000 Guitar Players Discussion Metaellihead https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/#post-85645 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/my-new-beauty-whee/#post-85638 Tue, 18 Jan 2005 23:10:36 +0000
