Did he use his comcast address? Personally, I'd out him on that forum I posted about. He's a hypocrite for talking about Fender sticking it to people and then doing it to others. Did you use any of the stuff for disputing the rights claim with eBay? Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

I love mine. I wouldn't pay $700 for it, but I'm frugal. There's a guy on ebay who is an authorized Line6 shop who sells them for $599 plus shipping. I got mine new in the box from another person on ebay for $495 plus $14.50 shipping and $3.00 insurance and had no problems registering it with Line6. It's very, very versatile, and I've spent a lot more time playing since I got it because of all the tones that are available to me. The only difference between the POD XT Pro and the regular POD XT is the interfaces and the rackmount ability. The regular POD only has the midi-in & out, USB, and 1/4" phono in/out connectors. The Pro adds XLR and digital connectors plus rackmount ability. The amps, cabs, stomboxes, effects, and ability to use amp packs are the same. If you don't need the rackmount ability and the fancy connectors, save your money and buy the regular POD XT for $299 and get some other gear. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

They're not. Production stopped in 2003. Anywhere between $450-600 on fleabay these days. I got mine used but in almost mint shape for $310. It was a great find. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

Funny, he doesn't/didn't like VeRO either. http://tdpri.com/viewtopic.php?p=199771&si...c2c0076a0cab77f I guess he decided to start using it himself. Checking his user historty, he's been active there as of a few days ago. Also, his contact info is contained in his domain registration. Want to see a sattelite image of his house/neighborhood? Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

Looks like he's a competitor when it comes to selling guitar stuff. I'd ask VERO *** they cancelled your auctions. I'd then send him a letter on legal letterhead to cease and desist for unfair trade practices. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

Reasons not to get a Squier Bullet Reason #1: The Bullet bodies are made of plywood. Reason #2: The fit and finish is crap. The ones I saw at GC had gaps between the neck and body in the pocket because all of them were cut unevenly. And I don't hate Squier. I have a blue Affinity strat that I put Lace Sensors in. The only other thing I'd change is the tuners. I love the one pickup w/ volume setup. So I bought a Tom Delonge strat. http://www.e-muzyk.pl/company/256/device/s...delonge_mex.jpg.

The tutorial on converting from a tremolo to hardtail should give you all the information you need for filling pickup holes as a lot of the information applies. http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/tht1.htm As far as what wood to use, I've asked the same question and never got an answer. I personally have used poplar, both boards and dowels for filling holes. Usually for filling holes I drill them out to 3/8" and then glue in 3/8" poplar dowels with Titebond, allow the glue to dry for 24 hours, and then cut off the excess with a flush cut saw. You might also want to dremel/route a small channel around the outside of the filled area, like in the tremolo conversion tutorial, and fill with wood epoxy filler so that the hole won't be obvious after painting. I've had minimal problems with it showing through, but it was obvious on the last guitar I did it on. When it won't be seen, like for trem posts that will be covered up by the new bridge, I don't do that. The RG to Jem conversion tutorial that covers converting to a Jem style output jack has a picture of filling the old hole with a dowel. It can be found here: http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/output.htm A lot of the tutorials on the main site have information that can be applied to other tasks. Good luck!

I sent him an e-mail. Hopefully he's just been busy. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

Yep, that's a real BC Rich. Chris at Chrisguitars has an early 80's NJ series warlock and they look very similar (minimal bevels, same angles, etc.) http://www.chrisguitars.com/bcrich-war-camo.jpg Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

If it's a five string bass, definitely go with carbon over steel. Basses are already neck heavy due to their large scale and long necks. My Jazz bass slides down all the time if I'm not holding it up playing. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

I can't take the credist as Crafty suggested it first, though I do agree. He's probably got some 25k pots in there if there were actives in there previously. It's still probably a good idea to rewire the thing completely just to rule out any other possible wiring issues. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

It could be that the mid-boost hasn't been taken into account with any new wiring that's been done. I'm in agreement about checking the pots values and replacing them with appropriately valued ones if they are incorrect. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

So, when do I get to be a Donated in 2005 member? It's been six or seve days since I sent money via paypal. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

I've got a Warlock that dates back to between 1984-1987, and the trem and pickup routes are like any other guitar should be. Those look like they were cut with a butter knife. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

Ovation used to make entire necks out of aluminum. It's environmentally stable, and makes a decent neck material. Unfortunately, the Ovation necks were all aluminum, including the frets. The fretboard was on solid slab of aluminum and the fret spaces were milled out to leave the frets. You can guess how long the frets lasted that way. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

As noted, most of the new Tokai Love Rocks aren't that great, but the older ones are nice. JSD in Canada has solid mahogany Tokai models with set necks for $459. The Ibanez lawsuit copies are nice too, but those are getting more expensive every month. Doing a search on Ebay, the Tokai Double Cutaways (PRS style) are going for $399, and they're solid Mahogany with set necks. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

There are nothing wrong with Squiers except for the electronics, but I can't think of a single low priced guitar that doesn't have mediocre electonics. They're at least made of solid wood (only the Bullet is plywood) and my Lace Sensor equipped Squier Affinity Strat is a great player. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

That's not necessarily a good idea. Older trem blocks had the holes closer to the bottom of the block, like in the new Eric Johnson strat because it provided for additional string contact with the block and increased sustain. Drillin the holes deeper will negate that, but if it's enough to be noticable is anyone's guess. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas... ← umm, your talking bout the string holes arent you? streamline is talking bout the spring holes. i have a hole drilled in a coffee table i made for the sole purpose of bending trem arms to experiment with different arm angles/heights, it works well. ← D'oh! I missed that part. I'll go sit in the corner now. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

That's not necessarily a good idea. Older trem blocks had the holes closer to the bottom of the block, like in the new Eric Johnson strat because it provided for additional string contact with the block and increased sustain. Drillin the holes deeper will negate that, but if it's enough to be noticable is anyone's guess. As far as the bar needing to be loose, is that because it needs to be higer in the bar slot? If so, just get a spring and put it in the trem hole before putting the bar in. That way you can have it higher and it will still have some hold to it when you put it in a position you like.

I have. They used to outsource all work like that the last time I had them do it, but that was quite a while back. When I got the guitar back, I was happy with the job, though now I do my own work. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

You also don't see a lot of tables with guitar strings under tension. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

What is the best type of wood to use for filling the cavities with? I've used poplar, mostly because it's cheap, readily available, and a tonewood, but is there a better choice? Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

Awesom. I'm looking forward to the results. Remember the Alamo, and God Bless Texas...

I must have missed something. Jeremy, I've greatly enjoyed reading your posts and your tutorials in the finishing area. I hope your absence is only a short one.
