ok Andrew, you would be better spraying in low wind conditions so see if you can hang the neck somewhere in a sheltered area outside will help the consistency of the paint. Same when painting the body. I wouldn't stress since its only the 1st coat. After a wet sand I think your next coat should look better. Remember warm up the spray can and shake for 2 or 3 minutes, swap hands when they get sore !
Will do mate. Back at work now, I usually do 70 hour weeks so time is limited until my next days off. If I can get some sneaky sanding in tonight maybe tomorrow early morning I can go again before I start.
What grit wet sanding do you think I should go?
wet sanding at least 1200 grit. If you can find it preferably 1500 grit and before final coats 2000 or 2500 grit
Awesome I have all 3.
Some upgrades have been made. Orange drop cap, push pull pots, some sexy knobs and to cap it off, a pair of dragonfire phat screamers. They are made by the same people who do the gfs gear, high output, oversized poles and coil tappable. The set delivered cost only $60. If the reviews are anything to go by this axe is going to be a monster.
cool nice upgrades Andrew, did you order the pups direct from dragonfire or are they cheaper on ebay ?
Should be a metal monster this axe Andrew, sounds great
Their site and their eBay were the same price. Their site looks a little shady so just went with the eBay option.
The idea for this is to have it drop b and leave it there. That is until I get a 7 string then it'll see drop c. Man I wish an 8 string kit was doable.
yer ok drop B ultra low tuning. Keen to hear the review of these pups when its finished
Yeah same haha. From what I gather they have a nice tight bottom end and have a nice high mid punch. Theory is if I team them with an ash body which is naturally a bit brighter and cutting as well as the .022 drop cap which won't bleed too much top end clarity to start with I should have a nice tight punchy tone with a nice mid range snarl that the emgs in my esp ec1000 don't have. All theories for now. Don't be surprised if it sounds like absolute bollocks haha.
