Firu Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Hello all, I've got a lovely Fender DSP90 amp which is great but is looking a little tired these days I went to see Placebo last week and Brian Molko had had similar looking amps but with brilliant white casing which looked awesome,so i'm thinking of spraying mine. I'm just wandering though before I do it if it will have any effect on the amp's sound? Obviously I wont be spraying the grille or anything because that would just be stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always though 'oxblood' looked better with creme colored tolex..sort of like this http://img3.musiciansfriend.com/dbase/pics/products/5/4/8/265548.jpg Oh I don't know haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeLulz Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 It'll add some weight to it. No doubt it'll affect the tone in some way. shouldn't add much weight at all. it's only chrome plating. Well I mean would it effect it in a negative way, so much that it would be the deciding factor on whether to get it done or not? Is there any certain way it should be done? I was looking for companies in Ireland and only really found like car companys which chrome bumpers and the likes, so assuming they agreed to do it would it be ok? AND when getting it done, would i have to dis-assemble it? Not too confident with that kind of stuff. EDIT: Turns out my uncle owns a big garage and could probably chrome it for me, but same questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomrulez Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 You would defiantly have to dissemble everything, only the actual body needs plating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.M.K Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'm changing my string gauge on my strat from 9's to 10's(d'addarrio). How much setup do I need to to adjust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'm changing my string gauge on my strat from 9's to 10's(d'addarrio). How much setup do I need to to adjust? You'd need to tighten the springs in the trem cavity, tighten the truss rod a small amount and probably move the saddles back slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.M.K Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 cheers, is their specific amounts or measurements I need to be taking? Or should I just do it slowly untill the intonation is correct and there's no fret buzz and the like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 yeah, just get it intonating right, and look at the height the bridge is sat at with the 9s on, tighten the trem springs so that it's sitting the same with the 10s on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: Turns out my uncle owns a big garage and could probably chrome it for me, but same questions. Chrome painting and chrome plating are very different. Companies that do the chrome plating charge over £300 for it. It's a pretty specialist thing. Apparently you can get decent results with chrome paint, but it has to be done really well.

mr schmoo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hey, anyone here have a tab for the intro riff for the live version of A Crying Shame? I've looked and can only find the studio version, and thought I'd just check here before trying to work it out myself. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommBellamy Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hi, can someone give me the tab of the intro ( 0:02 to 0:11). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDCnRSi4OGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 OHAI! I was in maplin today, and noticed they're selling off their rack mounted power amps. I know they're for like, a dj setup (cos they had a pack with that, a PA speaker, and something else). Anyway, 3 quick questions. 1. If i get a decent Preamp (like maybe the marshall rackmount one or something) could i plug it into this power amp? 2. Would it sound fail, or does all the sexy sounds come from the preamp? 3. I'd need a nice speaker cab for that then, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
