    People do it lots of different ways, my general method -

     

    Drill first

    Sand with 400 grit

    Coat of primer, dry

    Coat of paint, dry

    2nd coat, dry

    Apply label graphics

    Coat of clear coat, dry

    2nd coat of clear coat, dry

    Sometimes 3rd coat of clear coat

     

    The clear coat I use is good but it takes a.while to dry properly, in summer I stick them outside under a pyrex bowl to get the benefit of UV - I've toyed with getting a UV lamp.

    Cheers,

     

    So no sanding between coats and you don't have to polish the clearcoat.

     

    Thanks a lot 

  2. Don't know if anyone has the the Fuzzdog Logical thread that I did  recently. Someone is building it me. Anyway, in it I said I'm gonna do the bazz fuzz as my first build.

     

     

    I'm going to order it today. Does anyone have any experience of spray painting the enclosure?

     

    Is it just the same as spraying a guitar but using auto paint instead? 

     

    It's more the prep I need to know.

     

    Do you sand enclosure to 320 grit?

     

    Do you sand between coats?

     

    Do you polish the clear coat at the end?

     

    Cheers

    Wow, that looks fantastic. Really nice finish !

     

    Beats my rather plain enclosure. It's blue and white like clouds cos it's a clean preamp...sort of made sense to me :)

    Look forward to hearing what you think of the preamp when it's all done..

    please remember that I'm not making it. Not a chance of me doing anything like that.

     

    I can't wait to get it tho.

     

     

    I'm tempted to do the bazz fuzz as my first attempt!

  4. Update on this. 

     

    Someone is building me one. Got in a conversation with someone who just loves building pedals. He's also an artist. He really wanted to do it, so who am I to argue. Also it will be a thousand times better than if I did it. I will get round to doing one tho. Maybe the Ampeg one.

     

    I'll post pics on here when it's done.  (The logical one)

    What's your preferred emergency pick storage for gigging? I'm not sure where to keep one or two for when I drop or break one

    I put mine between the gap between pickups and the body of the bass as I play some tunes with fingers some with pick.

     

    The real question, though, is what is the best pick emergency storage for metal!

    I think John had a terrible handwriting, looks like it says "new + Men".

     

    Just how would we know that weren't in fact the intended title of the song?

     

    Makes you wonder if it even actually said "to Paul".

     

    As such I can't take this serious. 

     

     

    It can't have said 'to Paul' because Lennon would have known that Paul was dead, died in the 60s.

     

    He would have put 'to Billy'

    I like it a lot. It's definitely a grower, at the first listen I was surprised at how downbeat it is, but it still made me very emotional. 

    If this the last thing they ever do, a part of me regrets that it's ending on such a sombre note rather than something celebratory.

    It's interesting how this new Beatles release is getting such a poor reception on here whereas the new Rolling Stones album, to my ears autotuned and massively overproduced, is going down a storm.

    Totally agree with all of that especially the first sentence. Think I'm going soft in my middle age. I've never been a beatles fanatic either. Always liked em but never a superfan!

    With Zappa as your reference frame, I'd say: keep to the biggies first, and take it from there.
    Bach has been mentioned already, and forgetting the play-along bit, some names I'd add could be, starting with older music so as to hear music developing:

    Palestrina and Monteverdi for yer renaissance and early baroque.
    Palestrina: Missa Papae Marcelli
    Monteverdi: Orfeo,  Scherzi musicali  (with that glorious song "Non cosi tosto" a.o.)

     

    Bach: what has been mentioned already plus say the Mass in B minor, the St Matthew Passion, Christmas Oratorio and the Brandenburg Concertos.
    Also give "Bist du bei mir" a listen. It was traditionally, wrongly, attributed to Bach (but he simply couldn't have written it) and is absolutely gorgeous despite its awkwardness.

     

    If you play Haydn (say Die Schöpfung (The Creation), piano sonatas and a symphony like no 104) and

     

    Händel (operas like 'Julius Caesar' and 'Oreste' and oratoria like The Messiah for example), then do absolutely not forget

     

    Henry Purcell - a great composer. My brain refuses to remember pieces right now, but he's up there with the very best.

    Mozart: late works like his Requiem (which turns away from the perceived lightness of many an early work, and reflects Mozart's understanding of and love for Bach).
    I'd do the "light" stuff later.

     

     

    That's all for now. Brain is closing down, so best hit the Submit button.
    Enjoy!

     


    Edit: rectified a few wrong entries.

    I'm trying to remember back to Uni now. But I think Stravinsky in his Neo-classical phase used to borrow a bit from Purcell, especially the bass parts so it's probably a good shout.  

     

    Of course you can't go wrong with Stravinsky. Be interesting play along especially if you like Zappa.

     

    We did a prog rock version of parts of The Rite of Spring at college. One of the best things I've ever done musically.
