    Hey mate, welcome to the forum. I too am a novice and you will find the people on this site are very helpful. Good luck with your build. I found that after I screwed up the start of my LP build I used a 0000 steel wool to rub most of my mistakes off. Being a very fine wool it didn't take any of the veneer off and it did the trick. Anyhoo, good luck and welcome.

    We're looking at winds of 150 and storm surge of up to 15 feet. No one had seen one like this for a while.

    They are far enough in and not to worry about surge where he is so if his house has protection up to code he'll be fine. The wind is bad but the water is worse.

    I think we'll be ok for the storm, and am more worried about the arftermath. A storm that goes South to North through most of the state will overwhelm services. We may not have power for a week or more.

    Just listened to the clip Simon posted. Those Dusenbergs sound great. (My clips won't have quite as good a bassist...).

    The comment in German says he's using several amp models. Not sure whether that's true.

    I like that sound, particularly on its own, bit if it were me, I'd want to be able to split to get more high end. They're a tad dark, and more highs might sit better in a mix. Definitely have the look though!

    You could always try 1Meg pots instead of 500k. Might give you enough highs without splitting - but it also depends on your amp and its tone control setup.

    Yes, Irma looks to be heading for the western side of Florida, and you never know, may just head on out into the gulf without the worst of it hitting Florida at all. But you can never tell. Really hope you all get away with minimal damage.

    The farther west the better for us. We're already getting big gusts, small tornados and power outages... It's a big enough storm that we'll get some. Hoping it's not too bad. Sad thing is that it is going to ruin someone's day...
