    I just had to screw the guard , bridge and control plate in place, and attach the neck, to see how it's going to look once everything is assembled. 2 weeks today until it's going to be fully assembled, wired up, setup and ready to play.

    Wonderful! Thanks for posting the link. Incidentally, I couldn't find part 4 via my iPhone - frustrating!
  3. kevin_lindsay
    Won't be long now mate!! I'm in the same boat - 2 weeks until my own Andy Summers Tele build is completed!
  4. kevin_lindsay
    Posted off to BillyApple. Mate, let me know whenever you get the payment sorted for the OC-2.

    According to the guys at the Custom Shop, the way the Clapton circuit is wired in the Andy Summers Tribute guitar (as shown in the diagram I posted at the start of this thread) means its an output boost rather than a mid boost.
  6. kevin_lindsay
    Andy wasn't sure what the original booster circuit was. It seems to have been a simple booster circuit, but it gave up the ghost some time ago. As the Fender Tribute uses the Clapton circuit, and sounds good, I decided to use that. Also the routing I've had done is tailored for the Clapton circuit board. Anyhow, two and a half weeks until it gets assembled and set up - not long to wait now!!

    Sold to BillyApple pending payment. Thanks mate!
  8. kevin_lindsay
    DSix - no problem mate. Billy Apple - PM has been sent to you matey.
  9. kevin_lindsay
    The black line you see is a replication of the crack in the brass baseplate on Andy's original guitar. The Fender Tribute models have the baseplates split at that point. I'll be keeping my plate intact. Here's a great clip from the Fender Custom Shop describing the features of the Andy Summers guitar: http://youtu.be/2vzStQpEXHQ

    Hi BillyApple - PM replied to. In still awaiting to hear back from dSix.

    I've decided to buff the body up now. That means that over the next couple of weeks, the finish will continue to thin out. It'll also mean that the finish will remain glassy, but with a very slightly aged hue. Should be cool. Do, here's the buffing up beginning. I think it'll look cool when it's done. (All buffing is being done by hand. ) [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/EB4054D7-6BAA-4F8C-8942-2C38BE447ECD-216-0000000DFDB8471B.jpg[/IMG]

    Okay, so I guess we all know about these pedals. I've got one for sale - fantastic condition, no scuffs, and works in the typical Boss OC-2 fashion - get your hands up the dusty end if the neck for that synth-y Pino-esque burble.. I did the boss serial number decoder thing and it came back as being manufactured in 1989. Here's the serial number: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/2A974B64-7BBA-4213-A43D-D9456A2BC4F7-215-0000000F510778DF.jpg[/IMG] And here's some pics of the exterior - really great condition. [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/86AF42D8-A7C2-4F6D-92E0-95704F2DCD05-215-0000002F6350D51C.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/1A1B92F9-436C-4826-82DF-32FA68C7680A-215-0000002F5E2ABA16.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/4227D6EE-1776-4F05-BB4E-E2DC8F0F385D-215-0000002F57CF6654.jpg[/IMG] I'm looking for £65 posted in the UK if anyone is interested?

    How come no-one has mentioned this classic walking bass line? Queen - Crazy Little Thing Called Love http://youtu.be/EE34cSvZCd8
  17. kevin_lindsay
    Low End Bee a that's exactly what I was going to say! It amazes me how many guys boost the low end on the amp in rehearsals and use the sane setting when playing live or in a larger venue. As bass frequencies are omni-directional, they swamp everything else. That's why when you're outside a venue, it's the bass frequencies that throb through the air. Personally, I set the EQ in my Aguilar DB680 flat to give my bass the best chance to cut through. As for the comment regarding P-Basses "cutting through", yup, you're spot on. I love my jazz basses, but on larger gigs, I prefer using a P-Bass to get that middle clank. It cuts through the band sound and sits so well
  18. kevin_lindsay
    Looks cool, and it's great knowing that you're enjoying it enough to use in a live setting.
  19. kevin_lindsay
    Having to wait until I can get everything tidied up, flattened and glossed, is SO frustrating. I think it's gonna look pretty cool when everything is assembled and set up: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/052DABDF-713B-4D6B-BA1E-FB43217C6BFD-499-00000032E9276CA8.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/56C2D42E-DAEE-418E-85DA-B36EB4356FAA-499-00000032F42D88E9.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/7B342808-8744-4B35-8510-B2522FBDB4D7-499-00000032F8BED79B.jpg[/IMG]

    That's the masking removed from the edges and binding. I'll leave the lacquer until tomorrow bag will then clean up the binding. Then, in a few day's time, I'll apply the clear coats. Looking good so far: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/A4AD19C8-8E8E-4C8B-8939-1B461BDA4A7D-1091-000000AC9303990F.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/08D84822-8EED-4E05-8228-43497D5AD6F9-1091-000000AC8E402C46.jpg[/IMG] André here's a couple taken with the flash on the camera: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/0B88969B-1197-4734-BC0A-C6D6C600D374-1091-000000B29EC8D435.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/DA3BFB0B-86F1-481B-808A-60CF95EE9769-1091-000000B2A37F0A23.jpg[/IMG]

    Here's the rear of the body having the burst applied. White primer applied and then transparent yellow lacquer applied. [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/B17E7B9F-80CA-43ED-82CF-14E7CA684160-682-00000060B37A4311.jpg[/IMG] Then the dark burst is applied: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/3C51B499-BDE6-4BAB-B9E9-4C1B2AC932B2-682-00000060A044E45E.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/F87FAAE7-272E-4FBA-A48B-CCBAC4A23E0F-954-0000008C74EEA251.jpg[/IMG] And then the clear red lacquer is applied: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/B4A95E81-F37F-4BD7-9E89-BDF2A3C0C14B-1091-000000A18C920537.jpg[/IMG] I'll remove the masking in a short while, then leave the lacquer a couple of days before cleaning up the binding. Once that's done, the finish will be flatted and then clear gloss applied.

    I forgot to post a pic of the Gibson '57 Classic neck pickup earlier. So, here you go: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/DD3EF161-0735-4EFF-BDE1-1B5B7BC79F01-381-0000003407E9230C.jpg[/IMG] As for the bridge pickup. It won't be mounted on the bridge base plate like most Telecasters. Rather, it's going to be mounted directly into the body wood - just like Andy's guitar. In this pic you can see that there's no baseplate mounted pickup screws on the Tribute model. [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/72E8A6BB-F616-4A53-9370-C14FCF995C8D-160-00000026F747A739.jpg[/IMG]

    Hahaha. Thanks mate. Every time I do a build or refinish, I think "never again!!" Then, a few months later when I'm bored I begin thinking about another project!
  24. kevin_lindsay
    Here's a couple of pics with the scratchplate, bridge and control plate in place - just to give you an idea as to how the thing will look. You can see some really raggedy edges on the binding from the dark burst spraying. As I said, I'm about to clean all that up. Next stage will be applying clear coats to seal everything in place. Them it'll be left for a few weeks before final flatting and buffing. [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/9D0E6CEE-041E-468B-ADB2-B556936028C3-160-000000123EBD6ABC.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/988DCB0F-AD1F-498F-AC77-34A0D72CC4D2-160-000000124340E98D.jpg[/IMG] I'm having Chris Mcintyre do the final assembly and setup during w/c 7th January, so only 3 more weeks to wait - yippee!!
  25. kevin_lindsay
    And then the clear red lacquer is applied: [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/52E45036-C208-41B8-B09F-4E7BDCF4C0D2-160-00000012239643D3.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/85B7B3A4-42C4-4E73-85C6-C889397E1C87-160-00000012273553E1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/738E7DB5-5ED9-4DE8-A17A-C8806736541E-160-000000122C341263.jpg[/IMG] And then the masking is removed to reveal the white binding (please remember, the rough edges from the dark to the white binding still has to be cleaned up) [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/63FDEC10-1ADB-4E3A-AA77-135664B94793-160-0000001230C94EE5.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y289/kevin_lindsay/C0EDEDBB-1D5F-49EE-8693-C76E1B3953E6-160-0000001235854F7F.jpg[/IMG]
