Quite fond of my Fuji Finepix. Nice SLR sort of shape and functionality, which is great if you're used to SLRs.

I think you're dead right there. What I never have got my head around is this - I can't 'hear' the notes in my head any faster than I can play them. So. If you're soloing really fast stuff, do you hear those notes and want to play them, and therefore do play them, or is it a more subconcious thing so you play the lick?

And very rewarding when acquired they are too! And by the way - I like the headstock, but now of the far right hand edge were a convex curve...

How's it for sanding? I take it it's a clear?

His wife told him "Sell it or I'm leaving". Now he can say, "Look honey, no-one wants to buy it..."

Quite like Scott's. And mine of course. Someone has a nice one of the Wounded Eye of Horus too.

Hmmmm... Black stain on the quilt... tru-oil on top Would this combination work? Not tried tru-oil before... -
Been thinking aboutthis a lot of the past few days. If your headstock is angled, is one-piece going to take the strain ok? Maybe dumb, but I'd appreciate some views!
-
Very useful stuff - keep em coming! I'm looking forward to seeing how you do the tenon.
-
I wouldn't have thought all the tru-oiled gunstocks warp a great deal?

your lucky i am in a good mood since drak helped me name it That's why I waited till you had an answer before I posted!

Building from scratch as opposed to ordering...
PaulNeeds replied to Blues_Breaker's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
Some interesting stuff here. I've done countless mods, refrets, refinishes (ok ish but I lack patience), and assembled several guitars from combinations of new and old parts, but am just about to start on a complete build. I think part of the answer really depends on how long you expect to wait before you can play your creation. If you want it in a month or two, get a kit or someone to build it for you. If you're prepared to put months in and progress slowly and patiently, I don't think it's impossible that you can build something you're really proud of (at least that's my personal gamble). But I think I can guarantee that if you do build one, kit or full custom job, it won't be your last. -
I think it should be named "Bob".

Wicked amp. Mine blew up That used to walk all over a Peavey 300W bass rig if I let it. I usually did Using a fender princeton DSP now. Small, VERY loud (allegedly 65w) tranny combo, 1x12", easy to carry (much lighter than the studio.22), and wins the fight with a monster premier kit and a Trace Elliot 150W bass rig.. In fact, it's perhaps too loud. but nice to have the spare noise there.
-
Totally amazing.
-
Is the 513 actually on sale and available yet?
-
mmmmm - just bagged me some abalone and rubies!
-
Hmm loose gemstones is a very intereting category!
-
hey nice idea! Search Ebay for cubic zirconium...

It looks like it's all done onthe switching, splitting out coils with the 5 way and phase with the 3 way. They tend to make most of their own pickups I think, apart from some with use a Duncun in the middle for the strat-ish swamp ash special.

Long time ago - about 1978 - the band I was in used to play a lot of new wave stuff - Johnny Thunders, Pistols, Ramones.. Marshall and an LP DC-type (Gordon Smith) springs to mind, but I myself used what is now called a fat strat into a Sound City 50W Concorde combo. Wish i still had it...
-
bet my ass is dumber than yours! Thanks - I'll remember that when and if I get that far! I'm not altogether optomistic as this is by far the biggest piece of woodwork I have ever contemplated! My main rule is take my time and think it through.
-
yeah - I keep having doubs about deciding on a neck-through as a first build though! Luckily, I have enough neck mahogany to do either. I think perhaps the neck though may be actually easier than getting involved with tenons.. Sorry - don't mean to thread-jack!
-
Try a few of the motor factors - I've found a huge variety of grits in them!
-
looks sweet enough to me! Gradually assembling bits to start on my v, am watching this avidly Bill!!
