  1. That is a thing of beauty. I've got the Squier Jag (with Wizard p/ups) and I really like it... except the neck is getting ski-jumped by the string tension. I've taken that out on the top frets twice now. *Harumph*
  2. [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1467789323' post='3086175'] Sorry, I didn't intend to make you look like a wobbly arseclown. I did it with Snipping Tool. [/quote] I'm OK with the wobbly arseclown look... it suits me. Thanks for the snipping tool info - I'd forgotten that one.
  3. Curses, Discreet, you've made me look a fool (again)! But I shall have my revenge...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA errr.... how did you do that? please?
  4. [url="http://www.stewmac.com/Luthier_Tools/Tools_by_Job/Tools_for_Truss_Rods/Truss_Rod_Crank_for_Tele.html"]This[/url] is what you need for those pesky heel-end truss rod adjustments. I can't post a piccie from that site.

    DIY Effects

    Would a [url="http://miaudio.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/12AU7-6111_Valve_Caster_Summary_Rev002.pdf"]Valvecaster[/url] be a good start? The twincaster has cascading pre-amps and there's a list of mods at the end, like using a 1Meg volume pot for a high-gain circuit.
  6. Web sites are very personal otherwise they'd all end up the same....... but that font stops me reading it. It's awful. It's off-putting. It makes me click away.
  7. That is a thing of beauty. Absolutely georgeous. *sigh*
  8. Very similar in construction and stamping to my 1982 JV Strat., if that's any help!
  9. [quote name='Funky Dunky' timestamp='1466629161' post='3077461'] Paula is a wee genius. I interviewed her for my college course a few years ago. Great at what she does and salt of the Earth, too. [/quote] Is she a urologist?
  10. I've passified my SubRay4..... and it's great. I put in a switch for 'series/single coil/resistor reduced series' as series/parallel caused too large a change in output. With this switch, and going in to a DIY Barbershap, I can go from clean through slight break-up to more noticable grit. I'm very happy with it. p.s. I used a GFS MM-pro p/up.
  11. That's a really pro job you're doing. I built a 5E3 many years ago and it's still going strong even though I've kept on 'tweaking' it. Bassman output tranny so I could run an extension cab, mods to run 6L6s, the two pre-amp channels in series rather than parallel. My next tweak will be the Ampmaker VCB/VVR variable power control ([url="http://www.ampmaker.com/store/VCB-VVR-kit-for-cathode-biased-amplifiers-ZK02.html"]here[/url]). I'll be following this build with interest.
  12. Nobody could twiddle a drum stick like Mick Tucker.

  14. Not quite what you're after....... but a lot cheaper. The SUB Ray4 in trans red;
  15. I've used [url="https://www.inlaystickers.com/collections/fret-markers/standard"]these[/url], but just the MoP blocks, I haven't tried the dots. The blocks are excellent quality.
  16. ...and also the matching lipstick and nail varnish, I hope.
  17. Sweet Fanny Adams was the first album I ever bought...... I still listen occasionally. Fantastic band.
  18. [quote name='chris_b' timestamp='1464173905' post='3057153'] ....but he still feels he has this "issue" in the low notes. [/quote] Tell him not to use his left hand. That'll be two problems sorted!
  19. RealElectronics repaired my TC BG250 class D amp. [url="http://www.realelectronics.co.uk/"]Clickety-click[/url]. You could give 'em a call. It was under warrenty, so I don't know the cost.
