Nice work indeed - looks great - I like the look of the burst and how the outer color bleeds into the center with some of the grain.

Yep. Thanks for that - I knew it was wrong comparing in separate photos, but seeing side by side directly makes it easier to explain.... I have no clue why it's so damn hard to get a stripe right. Fender Japan can do it: http://images.reverb.com/image/upload/s--SzS28kmm--/f_auto,t_supersize/v1693489...

Nice!

Which one’s yours?

Yeah I don’t know what I was thinking- it definitely looks contoured the more I see it, I was probably just looking for a reason not to want another guitar.

Someone on an offset Facebook group posted these and I swore it looked 100% slab to me when I first saw it, but now I can’t really tell. Nobody responded to my comment asking if it was slab. I do know the Pawn Shop competition bass reissue some years ago was a slab, as was the Mikey Way bass I had. ...

Comp mustangs should have forearm contours. The stripe doesn’t really make sense otherwise.

:lol: So the CK61 - one thing I love about it is there are 20 banks with 8 patches each, and only the first 10 are loaded. So last week I spent a few hours making new patches for all of the Haunted Cat songs in our current live set and named them after the titles, then dropped those in setlist order...

Found a suitcase *almost* the perfect size so I no longer need to stretch the zipper around the massive Valco fuzz. $5 at an estate sale:

The CK61 arrived just in time to check it out on my 15 minute work break. It’s not as sexy as the Hydrasynth but I think this is the one I needed more. When I sold my Triton Le, this is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to replace it. So easy to program and use live. Not needing to dig through coun...

The Hydrasynth arrived Friday morning on my birthday - I haven't been able to stop playing it, but as limitless as it feels, I find myself missing a lot of the classic typical synth sounds. Most of the patches I played are inspiring to where I'll just spontaneously play something that sounds cool (t...

So I did a bit of a birthday splurge….but I’ve also been selling a lot of my other boards…recently sold my JU-06, Korg Poly61, RS-09, CZ-101, Triton LE. I’ve never been truly happy with my rig in Haunted Cat. I’ve gone back and forth with a tiered setup, for the longest time I was using a Triton LE ...

In Pog form!

New board: I've heard that all the cheap nano format octave pedals are not very good. How do you find the Mooer? That’s probably for the OC-2/3 style octave down pedals (maybe also the pitchfork style like Freddy had) The V1 Tender Octaver is well regarded and basically an EHX Micro Pog, IIRC they ...

Nice. How’s the Deadbeat? Jack of all trades master of none. I usually leave it on detune for subtle chorus, but all of the other sounds besides phaser and flanger (not because I don’t like flanger/phaser, it’s just particularly bad versions of both IMO) are very usable and handy to have on the boa...

New board:

Just wondering Mez- did you find out if Kim went for the pro-setup option when she bought them? They offer that as an additional cost- wondering if that’s why they were so nice out of the box or if it’s just standard Either way they both look great, I think I prefer the evolution of the shape on the...

Zzounds says it should ship on the 5th

nice! I know I was crapping on those 4 weeks ago but I’ve seen a few pics on Facebook groups and I think it works better in person.

^ yeah I already love it as is, so I don’t plan on a refin even though it’s be guilt free from a preservation standpoint. There’s evidence in the sound hole of this originally being blue or green of some sort Maybe like this: IMG_8514.jpeg Oddly enough my best/favorite guitars tend to be boring/natu...

I never knew Kustom made guitars, I thought they only made amps. Aside from the weirdly placed strap button, it looks cool. A sort of weird child of Gretsch and Rickenbacker. Is the neck on that Gio on the thinner side? Gretsch plus Rickenbacker is a good way to put it, but with the neck profile of...

the Ibanez was actually first… it was a $40 yardsale pickup, and to keep it cheap I just used spare parts I had in the bin to spruce it up- neck pickup is from some 70’s Harmony Les Paul and the bridge is from a Fender MIM. Speed knobs, GFS XGP 500k pots…just needed a better blade switch since all I...
