Location: Jet City | Looking through my pics from the Pearl Jam show at the Gorge I noticed this pic. This is Jeff Ament's arsenal, but I can only see the headstocks.
There's an Ovation and Hamer heastock. Could that be a Magnum?

Location: Jet City | I'd love to add a Magnum IV to my list. I remember one hanging right by my UK II when I bought it. The coolness of that bass is indescribable. |

Magnum III
I just bought one and it is VERY cool. But if you're into the sliders, there will probably be one along some day. |

"Like" is not a strong enough word. It's been with me longer than any other thing in my possession. I've been through some pretty rough times thorough the years, and it's always been there for me. It'll remain with me for the rest of my days.
I truly believe I owe a large part of my love of playing the guitar in general to that guitar. I'm glad the music store in my town was an Ovation dealer, and had one hanging in there. I'm also thankful to anyone else in this forum that may have had a hand in it's conception and or creation.
That's just touching the surface, but I think you get my drift. |

Location: NJ | The Magnums are such cool basses (and VERY under-rated)!
Speaking of which, I've got a MagIV, and the eq sliders are a bit "noisy".
Any recommendations on a particular product to clean 'em??
I remember "back in the day" using either CarbonTet or TV "Tuner Cleaner" spray . . .
Any ModernDay remedies??? |

Location: Jet City | cliff, there's some pot. cleaner in a can that I got from Radioshack, but I've only used it on an amp. I'm to scared to try it on a guitar. |

I think those white ones are sweet too. If it had been a white one hanging there.... |

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | Cliff, the RadioSHack Tuner Cleaner I think is still available and works well. But any "Contact Cleaner" that boasts "no residue" is fine. On Magnum IV's (and 2's) I take the knobs off first so after I spray in the cleaner I can work the pots individually. I also usually do this while it's plugged into a small amp so I can hear when the slides are clean. I also usually just spray some "air" in first to blow out the dust, then use the cleaner. |

Location: Jet City | Yeah, what Miles said. That's the stuff I use. Now I'll feel ok trying it on the guitars too.
I recently refurbed all my old stomp peddles too. That stuff worked well. No more scratchy stuff when I turn knobs.
Miles, will that stuff be OK for the Tornado Volumes and Tones? |
