  15. Rexx 1602 Power/pre-amp

    in The Marketplace

    Posted

    Ok, I know most of you have nooooooo idea what this is, so I'll tell you :D

    These were Canadian built amps, they were around in the late 80's and I believe dissappeared early to mid 90's. Rik Emmett from Triumph was the most notable of musicians who used the amps.

    They are a very clean amp with a wicked distortion and a fantastic clean tone. Solid state 100 watt amps. I have 2 of them in my main rack to run stereo and bought this one as a spare but I've never had a problem with my main ones. The amps were nearly $1000 new, but as they were a small cottage industry company with no real recognition, they have been selling anywhere between $125 and $200.

    So, here is a 1602 with a 2 space rack case for $175 + shipping. The amps really are fantastic, I have never had a problem with mine nor would I ever give up my 2 main units.

    Item for sale: Ibanez Neck thru JEM project guitar

    Description & Condition: As is

    Asking Price: $250 + shipping

    My Location: Red Deer, Alberta, Canada

    Terms of Sale/Purchase: Paypal, money order

    Other Information: This guitar started life as Vwalls American Master which he broke the headstock off of. The fretboard died as well with it. I repaired the headstock, and used it to try my first ever monkey grip and lions claw. The claw needs to be cleaned up but isn't horrid. I will include a new, slotted rosewood fretboard with the guitar as well.

  22. The Feel Of Lacquer?

    in Inlays and Finishing Chat

    Posted

    If you're using rattle cans 15 coats will not be enough to spray on there before sanding and buffing. My concern is, did you seal the wood before you sprayed the color? I'm not sure how you mean it feels like there is nothing there, can you feel the wood grain? If you can, you didn't seal the wood properly. If it's a roughness (orangepeel) that you are feeling, you'll have to sand that out.

    Some will disagree with me here, but if you really want a deadly finish, and you're using rattle can clear laquer, you're probably going to need to put on 30 to 50 coats, no lie. Rattle can coats go on brutally thin and laquer shrinks and evaporates so much there is almost no thickness left when it's cured. Anything less than 30 and I think you're going to sand through if you're using 1000 grit.

    Hi, responding since you sent me a PM asking about the design.

    Can't say I'm crazy about it, but that's personal taste talking. I like more symmetry in guitars, this guitar design doesn't have much. Maybe I'd like it more once it's crisped up but the drawing you have there doesn't do it any justice with the uneven lines and jagged curves. I think it would be a very impossible guitar to play sitting down, the curve on the bottom will slide all over your leg, and you couldn't hold it like a V. If you only ever play standing up you'll be fine, but sitting will be an issue.

    Then comes the standing issue, your upper horn comes to a point at the end, that means you'll have to position your strap button on the back of it somewhere, that's fine except I don't like the feel of how it twists a strap when you do that. The body looks way long compared to the neck as well, but I don't think your drawing is to scale, the neck does look to fat compared to the length, your dimensions you have on there look about right (though for some reason I'm thinking on a 27" scale your fretboard should be 21" long but can't remember) so I think your drawing is really not showing it accurately.

    I'd redraw it with proper scaling and take a look at it, even draw it out by hand on paper and measure properly with a ruler. You have no switch in there either, but 2 pickups, and I don't know where you'd put your jack that would be comfy there.

    On the lower side of the guitar, I don't like all the jagged edges either, the top side shows many curves and flows, the bottom looks kind of hacked into or something.

    But, as I say, when it comes to design, it's personal taste. I don't like pointy metal looking guitars like this, nothing against the design, just my taste. There are however a few fundamental things I tried to point out though for you.
