Don't you mean "Broke-Back Sheep?"

Ah, those little Montana Sweethearts.....

I guess, for folks like you, I should have said 'stump-broke ewes'. I'm
hoping no one tries out a brokeback ram.

Richard, I think you're talking about "Jay Turser" which is a seperate
company that produces under license from Fender. The Turser quality is
a lot better than it used to be. They make some really good knock-
off's.



I am sure you are correct. My eyes don't always communicate 100 percent

The owner of the shop said they were good guitars for the price .... made in

Go to that link I sent you last week and look at the thread about
"Cheap guitars blow me away lately". A bunch of guys have bought very
cheap guitars, done a new pickup and such, and seem to be very pleased
with the quality of the body's necks and such. Lot's of good info in
that thread, you can buy a licenced or not, made in china or mexico,
drop in a set of pickups, and love it.

Hey Tim, what do you know about crackly old amps? 1980's peavey sounds
like it is always playing through a buzz box...

Probably needs the pots cleaned and connections checked. It's kind of
hard to tear up an old peavey. i won't say their bullet proof, but
close to it. you might check the plug-in and see if it's properly
grounded to the outlet. does it have a reverse polarity switch?
probably not. It sounds to me like itls in the connections and
ground.


also you could have a torn speaker cone. Interesting that before
Richie Blackmore started playing with Deep Purple, he couldn't afford
a "Good amp" with effects, so he took a razor blade and cut slices in
the speaker so he could get that "fuzz" tone.

Evidently it worked for him.

Does the speaker have foam suspension? After some years that foam will
break down. I had some 15 year old speakers repaired and they sounded as
good as new.

How do I clean the "pots" how do I identify them? It does have a
polarity switch and low and high gain inputs too. I am not sure if my
pickups are considered "hot", they are SD Pearly Gates. I cleaned a
bunch of the connections and can get a relatively clean sound in solo,
but as soon as I hit a chord, it really roughs up. Any help would be
apprecialted.

Turn down the gain? I'm sure you also tried the low side imput . It's
possible that your pickup[s] are too high/close to the strings as
well, and getting a harsh or too tight of an electrical field. (just
a thought)

Well, not looking at the amp I can't say much. but...

Plug it in, and flip the polarity switch, and see if the hum is
reduced. If not, then scratch that idea.

your pickups shouldn't have anything to do with what you're
describing, Scott. the pots (volume, tone, effects etc.) should be
accessable and there would or I'll say " should" be like a pin hole
or some say a vent hole on them, and usually a slight squirt of
siliconized electric contact cleaner in them should take care of
cleaning and lubricating them.

Outside of any of that, I'[m pretty well clueles.

you might check the guys at alt.guitar, alt.guitar.amps or even
alt.audio.pro

I'm sure there's those a lot better than I that could help.
