Re: The Gibson Les Paul Model thread

Had these for years, not much has changed. 2000 LP Standard in a red flame type finish I brought from someone (Danny?) on here quite a few years back, and a 2008 LP Studio Faded. The Studio currently has some EMG's fitted, 81/89 TW set with push/pull etc from memory. Haven't really decided if the o...

Re: VHNGD - '72 Strat

If I’m not wrong I think 300k are generally known to sound a bit on the dark side. Well, I either do remember reading that somewhere or I’ve made it up Higher resistance pots usually leads to brighter toans :thumbup: This is true. I have a drop in set with 300k pots. It gives you the option of load...

Re: VHNGD - '72 Strat

I just love old Strats in that colour. Nice one Molly.

It was not uncommon for parts used in Fender’s assembly line to bear serial numbers from different years. So it could even be all original if they are close.

Re: Oh FFS Taylor!

Humid weather requires a trussrod tweak on my Taylor. Easy, says I; I've got plenty of hex style spanners. Nope. It's a 1/4" nut with no room to get a socket in. Bloody Americans :roll: So where do I get a 1/4" truss rod wrench that looks like this?Truss wrench.JPG I think you borrow one ...

Re: Definitely a guitar thread not keyboard related

I picked up a Korg G1 afew years ago. I really like it. Good piano sounds, built in speakers that are not naff, and a really nice hammer-action keyboard. Just turn it on and play. Again, I really don't know what I'm doing with keyboards, but I really like this piano. And when I want to use it with m...

Indeed! As a gigging keyboard, Nord can't be beat, I'm told. But even then, who wants a version 1 now? Or even a 2?

Re: Fake identification

Hi all, I have a Fender Japan strat and I have small doubts about how original it is. Has a G serial on the neck, I think plays and sounds like a .. 1987 Fender Japan but on the neck connection has too much writing and a stamp that appears like Jan 22 1990 even if the serial number indicates a 1987...

Re: Definitely a guitar thread not keyboard related

I'm not an expert, but my 2c is to separate the physical keyboard from the sound engine in your thinking. Get a decent keyboard/piano with MIDI, worry more about action and reliability than sounds. Sound engines go out of fashion, but a good keyboard will last a long time. And you can then buy all t...

Re: The Kemper Thread

Pretty sure that's the back of a Kemper in that tweed rack! Apparently Mark Knopfler has a new album due out this year. Wonder if he'll be using a Kemper on it. Photo from FB https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=872968694829372&set=a.514218170704428 mark_knopfler_kemper.jpeg Looks like he’s nodd...

Re: What's on your work bench?

I did it with the eyecrometer. Turns out it's 33 degrees so yes. Happy New Year Ross. :D Happy new year to you too. I recognised the symmetry immediately, nice deployment of the eyecrometer, I assume you used the knockometer also? Always do. The tightness of the fit is directly related to the mass ...

Re: Novo Guitars

I would buy a Jaguar and a Jazzmaster, to end the years-long dilemma of choosing one or the other. But I could also buy one of many bespoke guitars and still have change from $7000. I cannot think of any new guitar being worth more than $5000. I think the cost differential beteeen standard off the ...

Bit of a review after having the pedal for almost a month. I feel spoilt. First, Neunabers blurb and stuff with some editorial altering: A solution that is convenient, easily portable, and doesn’t need to be turned up to 11 to sound great, whether you run direct or amplified.
