Silvertone 1457 Guitar & Amp (4/5)

Here is a really great explanation of how these little amps work:

The 1481 is the same amp circuit minus the tremolo

This guy is more concerned with the visual aesthetics of the caps than the actual function. He never even checked the Sangamos, or the bias resistor. While the amp certainly works, is it really 'vintage tone' or 'worn-out tone'?

Danelectro is my favorite type of guitar, simply for the genius of their unorthodox, inexpensive, yet highly effective designs. I love the tone of old-growth masonite. If you are looking for details, the Pro-1 Bass is the most complete build documentation.

Exploding drummer - now that's funny !!!

While surfing the internets, I found this list of drummer jokes that someone has maliciously edited into bass player jokes. These are the worst ones. This is not funny at all. This is the sort of thing that gives guitarists a bad name.

Q: How many bass players does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Only one - but the guitarist has to show him first.
