Strange Fruit

any pics of the fretboards? also, dimensions of said fretboards would be good!

Sorry mate no good I'm afraid, I measured the Sycamore today and it's not thick enough.

Ok, cheers anyway.

David Dykes is probably best bet, but they dont accept my stupid card

There are a couple of local places i could try.

Cheers guys

Good luck dude, maybe ill see you next year.

Once im finished my current course, i think Guitar X beckons!

That sounds good.

the inch thick stuff is what i wanted.

Im looking for something like 30"x4"x1".

Not sure about the purple heart right now, but how much are you wanting for the sycamore?

What size is it?

Is it normal Sycamore, or flamy?

Cheers

Matt

Hey there.

Just looking for a neck blank, anything really, be it maple, wenge, bubinga, mahogany.

Anything anyone has lying around really.

Im based in uk, and would prefer to us Paypal.

Cheers.

Matty

I like it, it looks like a Scheter UltraCure and a Manson Bomber had a passionate night of love

More tonewood avaibility is always good.

I need a new Neck blank, but cant currently be arsed to order from Craft supplies.

Also, sometimes and very rarely, it is possible to find some stuff on Ebay.

But very rarely.

Matt

i was thinking about the line 6 210 but that digital and i dont know if i'd like it, help if you can, thanks

Im sorry, but one thing i cant stand is this kind of thing, just go out to a shop and try the damn thing for god's sake.

Only you will know if you will like the sound.

Personally, I prefer the Vox Valvetronix, but thats me.

Also, there is no real need to buy new, search around for a second hand Combo, for $500, you could probably Pick up a s/h lovely bit of kit..

Possibly, i have no idea of American prices, but you may be able to get a TSL601 combo, or a DSL401, or even a fender Hotrod Deluxe.

Just get out there and try loads of amps.

If you are thinking of buying, the shop owners wont mind you being in there all day if you feel like it.

Are you going to use a regular control cover for the back or will you do the yellow and black stripes like on the inside?

←

Im going to fully detail the insides, then cover it all up with a plain jane black cover...

←

Methinks we shall be seeing a clear acrylic cover. Or maybe a smoked acrylic cover.

Lookin good Perry (again )

is that a 5 piece body?or only 4?

i would not waste money on those cheap guitars...not after already wasting so much on so many of them.

←

I really do have to disagree with that.

I got a 5 string bass from them, and it is easily the quality of a Squier.

Sounds fat too.

Is that a Harley Benton neck?

Off of their cheap 7 string?

Whats it like? Are you gonna leave the locking nut on there?

Sorry to bump this from the dead, but any updates?

Wow, that looks cool.

Guitar-X huh? Smug git

Oh, and that pick up sounds amazing! Sounds like an acoustic!

Really Clear, and the harmonics leap out of it.

Nice.

Can i buy your table cloth?

If you actually bother to look at the website, it tells you:

Optional 2mm Ebony front.

I must have mentioned before, but Doug is helping me build my first one soon....  As soon as I find the money.... Unemployment sucks!

←

you did, and i asked if your vee would be a 27mm wonder, but got no reply.

Wow, this topic has actually made me smile for the first time today.

Its good to see that there is still humanity out there on this forum.

Have fun, watch learn, and make good coffee

Matt

big muff pi ----> jackhammer

←

A Bif Muff Pi AND a Jackhammer???

←

Cant understand this need either.

and a DoD Grunge too.

I would personally go

Guitar-tuner- A.B.Y Box-stereo volume- J station- P.A

                                         -stereo volume- Wah - Big Muff- chorus- delay- amp

Just me

Ya but i was thinking of something for more live performances just to add some effcts to the vocals i checked guitar center and they want like $300 for the digitech one that has tons of effects but all i want is distortion they had nothing to offer me there

←

When we went live, and our singer wanted to have a distorted vocal, we used to use a russian Big Muff. Really raw sound.

Then we started using an extra mic, going into a Marshall MG10 little amp and went to the desk with the headphone jack.

Also, im sure if you talk to the sound guy nicely enough, he'll overload the vocal line on the desk.

Matt

i must say, its about bloody time!

Where did they say that?

Alex commented on the thick body, and set in neck, but not the two together.

you git, thats lovely.

if you still have it in a couple of weeks, i maybe very interested.

Wow, thats a stunner!

Do you have any pics of the actual piece?

Might look nice on my Bass.

Tempting...
