If you're using balanced cables that should eliminate them as a suspect.  What frequency on the AM does the radio station transmit?

Also "low noise" cables does not imply shielded.   Low noise generally implies a balanced cable (which should only be relevant on a balanced input) but they can still pick up RF.  Try some different cables and see if that doesn't help.

That Dirty Ed guy is pretty prolific.

I think I may have mentioned this when you last talked about this, but it bears repeating... 

Have you seen "Throw Down Your Heart?"   It's a documentary by Bela Fleck, wherin he goes to Africa to seek out the roots of the Banjo.  Bela is about as interesting as white bread without an instrument in his hand, but everything else is really interesting.

No, he did Three Little Birds.

I read that as "Ray Lamontague's Three Little Birds" and just assumed he'd covered it.   I guess I should start drinking earlier in the day... 

The Marley version is one of my favorite all time "when yer too drunk to talk" songs.

I have a 12W Kustom version of that same setup, and it's obnoxiously loud, and equally tone delicious.   If you want to get the best tone out of your amp, ignore the amp's overdrive functions, and do it yourself.  Drive the input of the amp as much as you can with something in front of the amp, and leave the amp on the clean setting.  This will let the tube distort, which sounds fantastic, rather than trying to distort the power transistor which will sound, well, like a solid state amp. 

I do this with an old Line 6 POD2.

More stringed instruments than not are fretless.   Guitars are the weird ones.   Frankly, the thought of it scares me. 

The best fretless guitar guy on the planet, IMO, is a dude named Ed DeGenero.  He used to be local up here, but now resides in Malibu.  On the internet, he hangs out a bit at unfretted.com, too.

A couple of reasons.  Wider, because classical guitars are generally played fingerstyle, and the additional space helps with that.  Flatter fret boards tend to be "faster" and it is more difficult to bend on them as well. Both of those attributes lend well to classical playing.

Nope, never have.  I meant to catch their act but wasn't able to due to other festival commitments, but I will eventually.  They're playing May 5th in Portland, and I don't even need an excuse to go to Portland.  I love that town. 

Well, they're both pretty cool.  I hadn't heard of Black Prairie before, but a lot of new bands come through the festival so that's no great thing.  Turns out that it's 3/5th of The Decemberists plus her and another dude, which is really cool. She's a local monster in Portland that plays with several different acts.  And she's pretty easy on the eyes. 

Well, if your bracket doesn't look like Dresden right now (Duke, Missouri, Michigan, and Georgetown all gone in the first or second round) then you're a heck of a prognosticator.  And lets be fair, if it weren't for the three additional Syracuse Orangemen in the striped uniforms, UNC-Asheville would have been the first 16 seed to ever send a 1 seed packing.

Great tournament.  And I agree, it is the best tournament in sports.  Win, or go home.  Just how it aught to be.

Oh  yeah, and my Huskies aren't in this one, despite winning the PAC-12 regular season.  The Pac-12 is horrible for basketball this year, and the only two teams selected were Colorado because they won the Pac-12 tourney, and Cal, which while terrible, has a slightly better record than UW.  Cal lost to Southern Florida in the first round, and Colorado got thumped by Baylor by almost 20 points in the second.   If you want to see PAC-12 basketball now (and I don't recommend it, bunch of underachievers) you gotta go watch the NIT, where they're a #1 seed.

If only my Dawgs hadn't lost to South Dakota State.  At home.  By 20 points.  Then they'd get some respect... 

I'll see if I can sort that out.  Apologies!
