Hey Adam I'm not getting any of your emails (if you're sending any) and nothing has changed with my 2 orders since we discussed it on Saturday. Is it already too late to get it to Sydney by Friday?
Although now I'm thinking some sort of sliding option might be worth a try for the middle pickup so I can move it closer to either the bridge or neck for different variations.
Yeah the more I started thinking about the way the electronics work the more I thought it was a bad idea too. Originally I thought it wasn't that much more than having 2 hummers running at once like...
I was just talking with a friend about modifying his Tele and putting a hummer in or maybe a single coil in between the bridge and neck. Tossing up all sorts of ideas.
A crazy one just came to mind....
Good choice. I've made the same mistake many times trying to save a few bucks and later wishing I bought the more expensive unit.
I was just about to buy some cheap speaker units to build a cabinet...
Wow that Blackbird is sweet. Very tempting.
There's also some pretty good valve preamps from Douk. The Nobsound NS-01E might be a pure valve not hybrid but I'm not sure. Their Black Bear models have...
Another idea totally away from valves just to confuse you. A friend of mine has a drop-in tone control pot from Guitar Fetish which is a pre-amp and effect unit all contained on a tiny circuit board...
I was recently chasing a similar thing. I wanted the classic valve amp sound but mostly wanted to use headphones.
It's not 100% valve it's hybrid but I ended up getting an Orange Micro Terror.
So...
I much prefer data and hard evidence too although I grudgingly admit psychology is a science too. Maybe not as accurate as other sciences so it's not as easy to measure. Still the human mind...
In-line at the gun is a must. Moisture trap at the start of the line doesn't stop condensation forming inside the hose it just stops moisture coming from the compressor. Unless you put your hose away...
I think only silver or chrome finish work properly with candy.
I tried a black base coat once and that didn't work at all. White just made it look like the colour on top was pale. Gold made...
Like with any job 90% of the finish comes down to how much prep work you do. Then when it comes to spraying as long as you're following the basic steps I think the main thing you want to avoid is...
Btw I noticed the bottles of dye are actually $1.86 not $1.
I hope the extra 86c doesn't break the bank. :D
For a while they had both the ColorSpec and their old SCA brand stuff and I think the SCA stuff was on clearance to get rid of it because I've got an empty tin here I vaguely remember buying last...
I agree completely.
It's pretty much the same weight and balance as a solid body Tele. I'm not an expert player but a couple of guys at work reckon it feels the same as a shop-bought guitar. My go-to guitar tester is...
As long as you don't mind spending a lot of time sanding and polishing it's dead easy getting a great finish from a rattle can. I wouldn't worry about orange peel because you're doing a lot of...
Meguiars Ultimate Compound.
Any decent compound does the same job. I've also used Scholl Concepts, Chemical Guys and a few other pro brands but you can get Meguiars in regular retails shops.
The...
I just thought of something else. Again I could be wrong but I think when you wipe on poly unless you're waiting a long time between each coat you're probably rubbing most of the last coat off as you...
If those dimples are deep it's going to take more than a few dozen coats of wipe on poly to fill them up to the same level of the rest of the surface. I had a similar problem making a fake walnut...
Here's a challenge for you then... go back one step and plant a brand new tree from seed. If all else fails your kids can finish the project for you. ;)
Yes I'm using a spray gun and compressor. The jig was just a block of wood I drilled in a drill press using the bridge plate as a guide. The drill press made sure each hole was perfectly vertical....
Before I start messing with real timber I decided to do an experiment with MDF just to see if I can make a body from scratch. I knew MDF was going to be heavy so I made hollow and then got a bit...
I haven't had any time to look into the auctions or selling side of things. I've been busy working in an evacuation centre down in Cooma and I thought I might be able to source some timber while I...
