Any guitar players on TW?

I'm aware of them, but no experience. Seem to be well built amps, but also not sure if there's really anything special or different about them. For the right price, I'd say one would be worth a go; but they seem to be quite steeply priced new.

Great choice! Happy NGD!

It is, and the frustration is continuing into today.

 

they are a custom amps so the price is about inline with boutique amps. They are building me a custom amp for a trade for a website/ marketing. I was curious if somebody here has played one. I am playing through a few suhr amps, a 67 twin reverb and a 800 series marshal. I asked them to build me a low wattage tube amp for blues. Let’s see that I get.

 

I'm sure it will be stellar

 

Cool they are trading you for skills. I've done that before I'm also in the web development game.

I have never used those amps, but they look good.

 

Trading services it tough. I’ve been burned a couple of times in the 20 years of doing web/marketing. I pretty excited about the whole thing. Their amps sound great. It’s just a matter if he nailed down what I was looking for. They said if it was not right I could send it back and they would keep working on it but shipping an amp back and forth sounds horrible. We shall see.

 

Still pretty sweet to get an amp that way I hope it works out. Yeah, I wouldn't be thrilled about sending an amp back and forth through the mail. But I will say, I have never had an issue yet with any tube amp I have recieved through the mail. It's all about packing it correctly.

 

So @CygnusX191 , is this your name's origin?



FF to 3:15 to see a master at his craft...or watch it all

This is a drum thread now

 

My buddy drove to Portland yesterday to get this Gretsch. Japanese made from the 90s? He's super happy with it so far

 

I like those a lot. There's is an "as is" one at my LGS that needs some work, was thinking of getting. Just to to many damn projects. That's a sweet guitar though.

 

I spent yester day recrowning my frets and polishing them. They didn't really need a recrown, but I got a new tool I wanted to see if it could sharpen up the peak and oh did it. I also polished them to a mirror finish with a dremel ( usually I stop at 15,000 grit micro fiber), but again just wanted to see if it's worth the extra step. Once I get it strung up I'll report back.

 

Which tool? I like a sharp peak... Stainless #6115 is my favorite fretwire.

 

Ya dood, it's been 4 days, how long is max time before restring, does the neck need adjustment after a no string period?

 

Stewmac compact z file. 300 grit.

Before I used a modified three sided file the old school way.

I very much like the Stewmac one. Worth every penny. Works great once you get the hang of it. Got a nice hair line peak.



So to report back of the recrown and mirror polish of frets, guitar plays fantastic! Was well worth the effort.

 

Really depends on how much you are playing and your personal preference. Maybe once a month sometimes two if I'm playing a guitar a lot. Acoustics I'm more picky about because they sound so brite with new stings.

I usually don't have to do a neck adjustment unless I am changing the gauge of string. Humidy and temperature are the biggest reason I have to adjust the relief.

 

Any one play a Harmony Rocket? Looking for a hollowbody. I see those pop up, would be a good project guitar.

 

There was a side music thread that for awhile I used to post Obscure Canadian Bands music that most of the South of the 49th peeps wouldn't know...I enjoy the angle of it...well, I was today years old when I tripped over these guys. They are from 15 miles from where I live and delivered this 10 or so years ago.

With no further delay...Obscure Canadian Band. Glass Ampp "In my head"

I'm talking real obscure

 

i been gone a long time... catching up on everything i learned of Matic's passing and i thought i'd pay my respects.
Rich was a solid dude and i'll miss shooting the shit with him and swapping gear.
pouring some out for the homie and enjoying some nice whiskey in his honor next chance i get.

 

Nice!

I like the use of Gotoh. I have those tuners on almost all of my electrics.

 

Was wondering if anyone had an accurate wiring diagram for:
Jackson dinky
HSS
1 volume 1 tone, no splitting
5 way switch

Its a japanese dinky I got used. Has been rode hard and put away wet. Sounds like garbage, someone has poorly replaced pots and wiring.

I got brand new kaisch 5 way switch, and 2 500k pots. Every diagram I look up on google is different. This 5 way switch has all terminals in a row


Thanks if anyone can help

 

Active pickups….play Metal much?
