[quote name='BigRedX' post='877100' date='Jun 25 2010, 08:40 AM']Tokai have made several copies of Rickenbacker guitars all of which have the usual Tokai logo on the TRC, so if they has at some point made a 4001/4003 copy there no reason the assume that it would have been any different as regards branding.[/quote] Excepet, perhaps, a new found awareness of the litigious nature of Rickenbacker. Just a thought. I share your scepticism. Yet the rumour persists and is quite prevailant.

[quote name='badgerific' post='876032' date='Jun 24 2010, 12:07 AM']Gut shot and a close up of the finnish.[/quote] You're showing me up. Very neat work!

[quote name='escholl' post='876507' date='Jun 24 2010, 03:26 PM']Well, if you need help, we're all here for you! [/quote] Cheers!!!!

[quote name='The Twickerman' post='867900' date='Jun 15 2010, 11:54 AM']I've just ordered one. $65 (in the UK) buys you the PCB and detailed construction techniques (a bit steep I know). It also buys you into their users' forum. Apparently there are folks who offer parts kits too... all will be revealed once I get access to the users' forum.[/quote] Oooof! Got the PCB and reading the instructions. I may well have bitten off more than I can chew. Still, I have two more projects on which to improve my skills with the iron before I come to this one!!!

[quote name='badgerific' post='875805' date='Jun 23 2010, 08:15 PM']I want one... so I don't end up stomping my tube off.[/quote] Titter. ;-)

[quote name='badgerific' post='875666' date='Jun 23 2010, 06:00 PM']Just finished my third build, a BYOC digi delay with ping pong. Sounds great, almost analogue sounding with quite dark repeats.[/quote] Excellent. What's it a clone of?

[quote name='JackLondon' post='871128' date='Jun 18 2010, 09:04 PM']that's a B size you got there I think, twice as big as A [/quote] Maybe so - but 5 jacks, two LEDs, one PSU socket, one 3PDT, one 4PDT, one DP3T and one DPDT....

[quote name='JackLondon' post='871118' date='Jun 18 2010, 08:44 PM']as note, be carefull with those enclosures because there's not much you can fit in there tbh![/quote] I am familiar with this problem! [attachment=52563:31130_42...184628_n.jpg]

[quote name='JackLondon' post='871104' date='Jun 18 2010, 08:28 PM']I got them from musikding.de but they don't sell them anymore but now you can get them here [url="http://www.banzaimusic.com/Eddystone-enclosure-A.html"]http://www.banzaimusic.com/Eddystone-enclosure-A.html[/url][/quote] Ta!

[quote name='JackLondon' post='871091' date='Jun 18 2010, 08:08 PM']My latest efforts, no gutshots because I forgot to take them and the effects are with their new owner now, fuzz face and signal booster both in A size enclosures. [attachment=52560:IMG_0293.JPG][/quote] Very [b]very[/b] nice. Where do you get the enclosures?

It's been removed now.

[quote name='Bassassin' post='869600' date='Jun 17 2010, 01:01 AM']There are dozens! Pretty much every small detail is a case of almost-but-not-quite right. If anyone's remotely intertested I might do a list tomorrow when I'm a bit less bleary-eyed. EDIT: Actually this is even faker than I thought - with the exception of the headstock shot, all of the pics are renders: [url="http://raykit.co.uk/blog/2009/07/04/3d-bass-guitar/"]http://raykit.co.uk/blog/2009/07/04/3d-bass-guitar/[/url] Bloody hell.

[quote name='escholl' post='868057' date='Jun 15 2010, 03:04 PM']nice, be sure to let us know how it goes! lots of pics are a must I am considering doing the same at some point so would be very interested in this project.[/quote] Yeah. You'll have to be patient though.... I have a few things on my plate first.

[quote name='escholl' post='863952' date='Jun 11 2010, 04:13 AM']Weirdly, I just came across that the other day, and was wondering the same thing lol. I like the idea of it, anyway. Apparently it's a bit different to the version that he makes however, but then it's also much cheaper. I think someone here should build/buy one (I would but i'm too poor), they could be the next big thing!

[quote name='crez5150' post='863253' date='Jun 10 2010, 01:49 PM']Update to my Disco/Funk Board....[/quote] Never tried any of those Akais. Mine is called maximum prog board. Noticably different in this band to my previous boards which have always featured a boss OC-2 octaver and AW-2 auto-wah. I miss them - but just don't need them at the mo.
