two words: A/B Switch

One of my former teachers had a Framus Diablo. That was one of the sweetest guitars I've had the chance to play.

Do You Like Your Music Emotional Or Technical?
Reaper replied to Thoughtless 7's topic in Put it to a vote
keep in mind srv was one of the most technically profficient blues guitarists in existence...he was emotion plus tecnique if i have ever heard it ← I actually like quite a bit of SRV's work, and I admire his talent. The guy could have outplayed me by several miles. But Brubeck, even at his age (I want to say he's 84 at this point), absolutely blows SRV out of the water. I meant that as a comparison between the best emotional player that came to mind, and the best technical player I could think of... -
Do You Like Your Music Emotional Or Technical?
Reaper replied to Thoughtless 7's topic in Put it to a vote
Put me up for technical. And not the how-fast-can-you-shred technical. I'd simply rather watch a good jazz show put on by someone who knows their instrument inside out and can play the hell out of it, than someone who has little talent and a lot of "emotion". Give me Dave Brubeck over SRV any day of the week. Just my $.02. -
Mixing Duplicolor Engine Enamel With Reg. Laquer
Reaper replied to Little Guitars's topic in Inlays and Finishing Chat
Why not test it on another piece of wood? It would give you a decent idea of what's going to happen with out f***ing up your guitar... -
That depends. When I bought a neck pocket template from StewMac, it was intentionally sized a bit larger to accommodate a heavy layer of paint in that area, and I had a real fun time trying to make it smaller to accommodate a tung oiled neck. Personally, I wouldn't worry about getting paint in that area. If it's a problem, it's sandpaper time. Your guitar, your choice.

Heh... yep, Kingston's a beautiful city. I'm actually down in NY right now (home for the summer)...

It wasn't entirely outside funded, we simply got some help with it. At our school, we had one tech department, but there was a difference in the focus from the woodshop/autoshop courses that were taught and the professional engineering stuff that was taught. Same teachers, but two different sets of students and a different focus. And yes, we were very lucky to have that kind of sponsorship.
-
Ours was funded partially by a high school/university coordination program. The machines were precision mills, and weren't big enough to accommodate shop-size work. It wasn't really a robotics club; the tech department had an offshoot course called Computer Integrated Manufacturing that taught CNC programming using Inventor, WLPM 1000 and MasterCAM. The last element of the course, on the other hand, did cover the use of robotics in manufacturing, and robotic control and programming.
-
Additionally, unless I'm missing something, none of those include the necessary control components (the box that goes between the computer and the motors). And CNC freeware? I don't know how far I'd trust that stuff. Most industry-standard software is just a wee bit more than free...

Personal fave was my old teacher's ES-135... tight and low. It wasn't the greatest for bends, but other than that, it handled better than any setup I've played on.

Somebody said there was free beer...

Momentary switch engages while pressed, and resumes transfer of current when it's not (you can get the wired the other way around, but you probably wouldn't want to use that). If you want to get **** about it, there is probably a small (as in measured-in-picoseconds-small) delay in almost any switching device. Idea: wire a resistor in there so that you can drop the volume back suddenly if you without drastically affecting the tone (you'd probably get a noticable effect if you used two very different pickups in your second option).

I don't recall the size bit (it's sitting at home), but I definately drilled for string through on my first axe (I was using a Carvin fixed bridge). Don't recall the body thickness, but it's just as thick, if not thicker than the saga tele I slapped together over the summer.

I was wondering the same thing...
-
nevermind... misread the post.
-
I was never a Pantera fan, and never really listened to their stuff, but this is just shocking and sad... Feylya, on this side of the pond, the courts wouldn't allow anything to happen (they'd give him extra protection, police spam, etc. because the case would be so high-profile). I'm almost glad the guy's dead (which isn't really a healthy though) just so we don't have to deal with the bulls**t.

My 1st Guitar Kit Lots Of Questions
Reaper replied to undeclaredpunker's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
The only question is: which one's you? -
If the force induced by a wall hanger were enough to throw a guitar out of tune, that would not be healthy for the neck, and if enough of a force were applied, could result in damage... which is entirely relevant to the discussion.

Is This A Scale Problem?
Reaper replied to ibreakemineedtobuildem's topic in Solidbody Guitar and Bass Chat
That's an intonation problem... -
That's a TS-9DX. It's a regular TS-9 with two extra modes added... (hence the fourth knob on the top). Personally, I'd go for the TS-9. And unless I'm mistaken, the TS-10 was the Tone-lok (or whatever it was) version of the Screamer.

chris poland...i like him very much,since "peace sells" That dude is one amazing guitarist...

It would seem to me that the original poster (on HC) is attempting to seem smarter than he really is.

I have seen (couldn't tell ya where), charts of what tubes have certain general characteristics. I think it's Groove Tubes that actually numbers theirs 1-10 on a basis of "hardness", and how they distort. You might drop them an email, they'd be able to tell you.

Feels So God is one of his best songs. I've got it on tape, and a few of his CD's. BTW, if you're going to try the guitar solo toward the end, I'll warn you: it's not easy.
