Location: Flushing, MI | As I said in the other thread, my CS257's OP24+ preamp seems to have taken a dump on me right before a gig. I usually plug it into this old Fishman preamp (the one that connects to your belt) before going to the board. I got absolute silence out of that. So, I plugged the guitar straight into the board and got a bunch of static and distortion. The guitar did make a sound, but it sounded like a blown speaker (and my speakers checked out fine). I changed the battery - no difference.
Since this is a Korean made Celebrity, and is basically worthless to me as a staight acoustic, is it worth getting the pre-amp looked into? Or should I just retire it and find another? |

Would that be the concert for OJ?

Electronics require cohesive connections to perform while people can adapt to spurious and random synaptic connections and still provide output.
In essence; once rattled machines will stop but people will go on and on.

A hospital? What is it?
It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.

Man I appreciate this place. Do you realize there's probably an entire generation out there that has no clue what all the above is about? For instance, somebody posted an Animal House quote on another forum I follow and it went right over the head of most of the readers.. "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??" |
