Oh, well done! Completely forgot about that... LOL.

GASSING for something Dumble-y or Trainwreck-y but trying to keep my hands off our savings account. Pffffff

Dumkido or Zen Drive pedal may help. Love my Zen Drive.
Trainwreckishness requires either a DrZ Z Wreck or a Komet.

Would like a YT link of exactly what it is you're going for. See the term 'Dumble' used all over the place and don't really know what's meant by Trainwreck either (aware of the amps but not any specific characteristic they're known for).

Congrats on the gear Nirvana status Conway. Perhaps we should all follow Conway's lead and each chose a colour for our guitars? At the very least, it would reduce the number of guitars we were allowed to gas over, and it would make for a very colourful gearfest.

You'll be wanting a maple neck for that EJ then, eh?

Do you want to swap necks with your EJ?

To be honest, I dunno if it makes a huge difference. I have only played it for an hour though, and not done a comparison to my Suhr maple Strat.

Open to the idea of a neck swap--if you want to go that way. See if you like the one you have first though...

Cheers mate. I will give it a decent chance. And it does look quite smart with the binding.

Will have a look later and put something up if it aligns with what's in my head.

You confused me for a moment; my Mountain bike is a YT.



For me, 'Dumble' tone is a fat, smooth OD that makes a Strat bridge pup gorgeous. Hence my love of the Zen Drive.

Obviously it's way more than that. As for Trainwreck, Ken Fischer didn't have a distinct sound. His talent was to build you the most perfect amp you could imagine. He used 2 or 3 basic architectures (EL84 and EL34.. I think) but most of his output was tuned for a specific customer.

Can you get a wall of Gibson's and tweak them? Throw him into a state of conflict!

I might recolour his prize PRS pink. Will do a better job than the above. Couldn't be arsed to mask it an' all that.

An ebow and a capo. Never used either, but always wanted them.

Finally bought another capo the other day after my last one just sorta ... vanished.
